All Chapters of Her Forbidden Alpha King: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

Chapter 82 As Angelina entered, her heels clicked softly against the floor, a practiced click that she always thought got his attention. She carried with her the faint aroma of roses and wine, an aroma meant to tantalize, to remind him of nights when he was not so distant. Her eyes located him immediately — hungry, desperate — the way a moth is attracted to the flame that will eventually engulf it."Rafe," she whispered, closing the door behind her. "You called for me?"His head moved slightly, just enough for her to catch the searing glint in his amber eyes. He did not speak at once. The silence was heavy, oppressive, as though he fought to decide how much of his anger to release and how much to conceal.Sit down," he said finally, his voice low and even, but cold enough to cut. He gestured to the couch with a flick of his hand. "And close the door all the way. I don't want to be disturbed."Angelina did so, although her heart began to beat faster. There was a different tone in his

Chapter 84Laura entered quietly, bearing a tray of tea that puffed very slightly in the cold air. She saw the distant look on Seraya's face and relaxed. The two sat there in silence for an eternity, the strain between them heavy with all that hadn't been spoken.Finally, Seraya spoke, her voice quiet but insistent. "Laura, I need your help."Laura placed the tray down quietly on the table. "Always. What do you need?"Seraya stumbled, her gaze falling to the ground as if the words she uttered would crumble beneath their own weight. "You have to swear to me… you won't tell anyone. Not Rafe in particular."Laura's brows knitted. "Tell anyone what?"Seraya's lips parted, but she trembled as the reality slipped out. "I'm pregnant."The words lingered, fragile and foreboding. Laura froze. Her eyes were wide, denial and fear racing across her face at the same time. "What?"Seraya nodded, sitting down in the nearest chair, still holding protectively around her belly. "I went to see the heale

Chapter 86She couldn't recall for a moment where she was. Then a familiar voice stroked her ears."Seraya?"She blinked. Ace was sitting beside her bed, elbows on his knees, his eyes fixed on her face with soft concern. Soft lamplight etched gold on the angles of his jaw, and she felt a small ache curl inside her chest."Ace…" Her voice was a mere whisper, cracked and weak. "What… have I done to myself?"Ace sat upright, relief twirling in his eyes. "Thank the Moon Goddess, you're awake." He moved forward to help her into a sitting position, carefully placing a hand at the back of her shoulders. "You fainted the moment we arrived at the pack house. You frightened everyone quite terribly."“I… fainted?” She frowned, trying to summon any memory of it. There had been something—voices, cold air, a door slightly open—then a ringing in her ears, and nothing else. Her mind felt like a blank sheet torn from a book.Ace nodded, avoiding her gaze for a heartbeat. “You’ve been under too much s

Chapter 88 The words still rang in her head like a curse she couldn't spit out. The scent of the council's smoldering incense mixed with the heavy scent of fear, strangling her whole."No… no, it can't be true," she whispered to herself, her lips hardly forming words.The wolves in the room moved.Eyes snapped, whispers flew like fire, and the massive wooden doors of the council chamber seemed to close down around them more solidly, trapping her in this abomination. Seraya's breathing came in ragged, short gasps. She pushed herself upright, chair squeaking on the marble floor.I need to speak with him," she said again in her trembling voice. "I need to speak with Ace!"The councilmen regarded her—those calculating, cold glances that always sent her stomach churning. One of them, an older man with a bushy beard that reached to his chest and a grey beard, scowled. "Alpha Seraya, you will remain seated. The hearing is not yet—"I don't care if you're listening!" she growled, her voice sn

Chapter 90 Rafe Sullivan Underson, the Alpha King, presided over the council table. His presence filled the room like a shadow that had mass. Their heads all tilted ever so minutely when he caressed them with his golden gaze. The hum that had surged through the chamber seconds before had drained away the instant he rose to his feet.Standing rigidly at his right side was Cohen, his Beta. To his left, some of the elder Alphas, such as Alpha Dimitri and Alpha Kael, looked at each other with uneasy expressions. At the far side of the room, bound not by chains but by shame, Alpha Artemis Quinley stood with his head slightly bowed. His daughter, Seraya, had been allowed to stand a step back from him — quiet, motionless, her eyes flicking once in Rafe's direction before her gaze settled on the ground.It had taken years for Rafe to look at Artemis without rage gripping his jaw. Today was the first day that he'd come here not having hate seared into his chest."Alpha Artemis of the Moon-Eye
