All Chapters of The Alpha's Forbidden Mate: Chapter 101 - Chapter 105

Selene POVThe shadow transport ended abruptly.I stumbled as solid ground appeared beneath my feet. Sylvester’s arm tightened around my waist, keeping me upright.“Welcome home, my love ,” he said softly.I opened my eyes and we were back to the Moonveil Pack territory.I recognized it from descriptions.
