Semua Bab The Alpha King's Forbidden Mate: Bab 91 - Bab 100

The fire crackled low in the center of their small camp. The woods just outside the Obsidian Grove were quiet now, but that silence was uneasy—like the calm that came before a brutal storm. Serena sat between Elias and Theron, her back resting against a mossy boulder, her mind far from still.She hadn’t meant to say it.I think I’m falling in love with both of you.But it had been clawing at her chest for weeks—an ache that had no clean name. And now that it was out, the weight of it was pressing down, hard and confusing and honest.Theron leaned forward, elbows on his knees, gaze fixed on the fire.Elias was on her other side, quiet as always when his mind was busy, his hand occasionally brushing against hers. A silent comfort. A wordless offering.No one had said anything more about it.Yet the tension wrapped around them like another layer of heat from the fire.Serena cleared her throat. “We need to decide what to do next.”Theron glanced at her. “We track down the hidden entrance

The instant Serena sat on the obsidian throne, the mountain shuddered.A pulse rippled outward, slamming into the walls of the cavern. Cracks spiderwebbed across the floor. Dust fell from the high ceiling, and far above, the sky split open with a low, ancient growl—half wind, half warning.Serena’s eyes snapped shut as magic poured into her chest like a flood. It was fire, wind, earth, water—every element compressed into a single surge of unrelenting power. Her breath caught in her throat. Her heart stuttered.Then she felt it.The throne was alive.Not sentient, not exactly—but forged with magic so old and feral it bore the memory of the First Queens. Their regrets. Their triumphs. Their blood.It wasn’t welcoming her.It was judging her."Serena!" Elias’s voice echoed distantly, as if through water. He started to run up the steps, but a wall of light erupted between them, throwing him back. He hit the floor with a grunt, Theron catching him before he fell off the edge of the platfor

The silence between Serena and Elias was thick, tangible—like fog curling between them, heavy with unspoken truths. The lake behind them shimmered with silver, the surface untouched except for the occasional ripple caused by a soft breeze. Above, the moon hovered in full glory, its glow caressing their skin, accentuating every breath, every flicker of emotion they tried to mask.Serena stood stiffly, arms wrapped around herself, as if trying to keep all the turmoil within from spilling out. Her hair fluttered around her face, catching moonlight like strands of silk.Elias stood a few feet away, hands by his side, yet his presence wrapped around her like a cloak. He hadn’t spoken for minutes, but he didn’t need to. His silence was a presence of its own—watchful, weighty, and aching with restraint.“I should hate you,” Serena said finally, her voice breaking the stillness like a pebble tossed into water. “For what you are… for what you’ve done. For how much power you hold over me withou

The storm outside had quieted, but the turmoil within Serena hadn’t.She sat curled on the edge of the grand window seat in the East Wing of the Alpha King’s estate, watching the light drizzle drip from the corners of the rooftop like silver tears. Her thoughts were consumed with Elias—his touch, his eyes, the unspoken promises between them—and the question that now clawed at her heart.How much longer could she pretend that everything was normal?The door creaked behind her, and she stiffened. She didn’t need to turn to know it was Elias. She could feel his presence in her bones now—like an instinct awakened deep inside her, one she never asked for, but couldn’t imagine losing.“You’ve been avoiding me,” his voice was low, guarded, laced with something unspoken. A bruise of frustration and hurt clung to every word.Serena didn’t move. “I needed space to think.”Elias came closer, his footfalls silent despite his size. “About us?”She turned to face him then, her heart thudding like a

The sun hadn’t yet risen, but the entire estate was already alive with the sounds of movement—strategic positioning, whispered orders, and the unmistakable pulse of impending war.Serena woke with a sharp inhale, the tension of the past night still lingering in her bones. Elias lay beside her, arm draped protectively over her waist, but his breathing had shifted. He was awake too.“Couldn’t sleep?” she whispered.His eyes opened slowly, golden flecks reflecting the dim morning light. “Only when I know you’re safe beside me.”Serena rested her head on his chest, listening to the steady beat of his heart. It comforted her—but couldn’t erase the darkness creeping at the edges of their reality.“We can’t stall any longer,” Elias said, his voice low. “If we wait for them to strike again, it’ll be at a cost we can’t afford.”Serena nodded. “Then we take the fight to them.”Elias raised a brow. “You say that like you’re coming with me.”“I am.”He sat up. “Serena—”“I’m your mate. Your Luna.
