All Chapters of The Alpha's Forbidden Mate: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Kael POV At this point I don’t even care about the reason anymore. All I know is I want Sylvester dead. I could have let him get away with anything. Anything at all. But harming my mate was the last straw. After three days she finally woke up today. Lydia telling me she was a Keeper really didn’t come as a shock because I always knew my girl was special. I always knew. But being a Keeper comes with a lot of things we don’t understand. And I know she is scared and confused. But I lost her once and I’m not planning on fucking up this second chance with her. I stood by the window in my office, staring out at the training grounds. Pack members moved through their routines. “Kael.” Elara’s voice made my jaw tighten. I didn’t turn around. “What is it?” I asked. “How is my sister?” Her footsteps were soft as she came closer. “Is she awake yet?” “Why don’t you go and check on her yourself?” “She might not want to see me.” There was something in her voice I couldn’t read. I fina

Selene POVTwo days had passed and I was finally feeling like myself again.My legs were steady now. And I felt no more dizziness when I stood up. No more exhaustion that made every step feel like climbing a mountain.The bruises on my body had faded. The cut on my palm from Sylvester’s ritual was healing into a thin pink line.Lydia had been working with me every day. Teaching me breathing exercises and meditation techniques to help control my power.It was working. Slowly but surely.The purple light didn’t leak from my eyes anymore when I got emotional. The warmth in my chest stayed calm instead of exploding outward.I was making real progress with her and I was grateful.I could walk through the pack house now without people scattering like scared rabbits. They still kept their distance and I still heard whispers. But at least they didn’t look at me like I was a monster anymore.Maria had visited me this morning with fresh bread and tea. She fussed over me like always, making sure

Selene POVI took a deep breath of relief when Kael finally walked out of the room.But I didn’t want to admit that his presence had been a little more than helpful.I haven’t been able to close my eyes without seeing those creatures. Their twisted forms. Those burning red eyes or the way they moved like broken puppets.Every time I tried to sleep, I saw them crawling out of the ground. Reaching for me with those too-long fingers.At least when Kael was here, I felt more anger than fear.And these days, it seems all I do is look forward to my training with Lydia. I never knew I would hit it off with her or that Kael even had a sister. But she has been great and nothing at all like her arrogant brother. She has been a nice teacher as well.She has been patient and kind with me.It makes me wonder if I would have been able to face this alone if I was in the Moonveil pack.The thought stopped me cold.That was the place I called home for those few months.And then in quiet moments like

Kael POV“Marcus, what is the status report on Myra?” I asked, feeling the presence behind me without needing to turn back.“Nothing yet,” he said, his voice tight with frustration. “She’s covered her tracks well. No one has seen or heard from her; it's just like she disappeared."That was the problem with priestesses: no one could find them if they didn’t want to be found. That is why his sister disappeared and appeared at the will.“Keep searching,” I said, trying to keep the growing agitation of my voice . “And expand the search to—”I stopped mid-sentence.I heard music though it was faint but unmistakable. Floating through the open window of my office.Someone was singing. The voice was clear and haunting, wrapping around each note like silk.“Do you hear that?” I asked.Marcus tilted his head. “Hear what, Alpha?”“The singing.”“I don’t hear anything.”Strange. My wolf hearing was excellent, but Marcus’s should have been just as good.The song pulled at something primal inside m

Marcus POV I leaned against the wall of the training room, watching Lydia move through her meditation exercises with grace. She’d been back at Blackthorn for three weeks now, and in all that time, I’d barely managed to have a real conversation with her that didn’t involve pack business or Selene’s training. She looked thinner than when she’d arrived. Dark circles shadowed her eyes despite the healing magic she possessed. Even though it didn’t make her any less beautiful. “You’re staring again,” Lydia said without opening her eyes. “Just making sure you don’t pass out mid-meditation.” “I’m fine.” “When’s the last time you slept?” I asked, pushing off the wall and walking closer. “And I mean actually slept, not just closed your eyes for an hour.” “I sleep enough.” “That’s not an answer.” She opened one eye to glare at me. “I don’t have time for this, Marcus.” “Make time.” I stopped in front of her. “You’ve been working yourself to exhaustion training Selene, researching thos
