Semua Bab Fated to the Forbidden Alpha: Bab 21 - Bab 30

The news of my bloodline didn’t stay secret long.By the next dawn, whispers crawled through the Hollow like wildfire.Some wolves looked at me with new respect, others with suspicion sharp as knives.Kade stayed close, but even he couldn’t shield me from the weight of their stares.At the council meeting, voices rose. Old pack members questioned if I was truly one of them.“They call me outsider,” I told Kade later, voice tight. “But I’ve earned every step.”He squeezed my hand. “You’re more than that.”But the truth was clear: the pack was divided.And Luna Marisol’s defeat only fueled the fire.“Not everyone wants a human-born Alpha,” Kade warned.I clenched my jaw. “Then they’ll have to face what I am.”The fight wasn’t over.It had only just begun.The moon was just a sliver when I slipped through the forest, heart pounding like a drum.Kade had warned me: not everyone accepted what I was. Not everyone would stand quietly while the pack shifted beneath us.I wasn’t about to let f

The dawn broke slow over Shadowpine, the sky streaked with soft pinks and greys, like the world itself was hesitant to wake after the chaos of the night before. The Hollow was still heavy with silence, the kind that presses down on your chest and makes you catch your breath.I stood at the edge of the clearing, watching as the pack gathered, tired faces, bruised bodies, eyes that held stories of pain and survival. Some were nursing wounds, others just stood, lost in thought. The air smelled of smoke and earth, and the heavy scent of loss lingered like a shadow no sunlight could chase away.Kade came up beside me, his usual armor of discipline softened by exhaustion. He didn’t say much, just let his presence settle next to mine. For a long moment, we stood like that, two halves of something broken but still whole enough to fight.“I keep replaying it,” I finally said, voice low. “The fight. How fast it spiraled out of control.”He nodded. “It’s the price we pay when old laws and new t

The night air was thick with tension as Kade and I moved silently through the forest, shadows melting into the trees. Every snap of a twig felt like a warning, every distant howl a call to arms.“We can’t afford mistakes,” Kade whispered, his voice steady but fierce. “If the pack’s enemies find out what we’re doing, they’ll strike harder.”I nodded, gripping the small knife he’d given me, a symbol of trust, and a reminder that I was no longer just the outsider.Our first stop was the den of a wolf rumored to be close to Luna’s faction. The air was cold, the silence almost deafening.We watched, waited, and listened.Then, a movement, a shadow slipping through the trees, carrying a secret.Kade and I exchanged a glance, the unspoken promise clear: the hunt had begun.The forest was thick with silence, broken only by the crunch of dry leaves underfoot as Kade and I followed the trail deeper into the shadows. Every step tightened the knot in my stomach.We had tracked the traitor to a se

The morning sun cut through the mist, but the warmth didn’t reach the Hollow. Instead, a cold shadow settled over everything.Alpha Titus’s decree came swift and ruthless: Shea’s presence was a threat that couldn’t be tolerated.I watched as the pack’s Elders muttered in dark corners, and Luna’s eyes burned with renewed fury.Whispers turned to demands.“There must be consequences,” someone hissed.Kade’s face hardened. “I won’t let them hurt her.”But Titus was unyielding.“Shea must face the Blood Moon Ceremony. If she passes, she stays. If not...” his voice trailed off, the threat clear.My heart hammered.The Blood Moon Ceremony was a trial no outsider had ever survived.I looked to Kade, seeing the fierce protectiveness battling with the weight of his duty.“We’ll face it together,” he promised.And in that promise, I found a flicker of hope.Because love was worth any risk.The days before the Blood Moon Ceremony stretched endlessly, each one heavier than the last. The Hollow, u

The forest was quiet now, but the air still buzzed with the tension of what had just happened. We gathered near the riverbank, tending to wounds, both physical and invisible.My side ached where the hunter’s blade had grazed me, but Kade’s hands were gentle as he cleaned the cut, his eyes never leaving mine.“You held your own,” he said, voice rough but proud.I forced a smile, feeling the weight of exhaustion settle deep in my bones.Around us, the pack moved like a family, wounded but unbroken.Rosa, one of the Elders, approached, her gaze thoughtful. “This fight showed us more than our strength. It showed what we’re capable of when we stand together.”Kade nodded. “We’ve got a long road ahead. But we’re not walking it alone.”I looked up at the moon, silver and steady.In the scars left by battle, I saw sparks, tiny flames of hope and a future worth fighting for. With Kade by my side, I knew we could face anything.The morning after the battle, the Hollow felt anything but peaceful
