All Chapters of Alphas forbidden mate : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Isabella’s POV A sharp, throbbing pain pulsed through my head as I struggled to open my eyes. My vision was blurry, the harsh white lights above making it even harder to focus. I groaned, my body aching as if it had been crushed under something heavy. Slowly, my surroundings came into view—a hospital room. The sterile scent filled my nostrils, and confusion clouded my mind. What happened? A voice broke through the fog in my head. “Isabella, you’re finally awake!” Zachary’s voice trembled with both relief and disbelief. His eyes, wide with emotion, searched my face. “I was so scared, Isabella. I thought I… I thought I lost you.” I winced as I tried to push myself upright, but before I could, his hands were on my shoulders, gently holding me down. “Don’t sit up. You’re hurt badly,” he said, his voice thick with concern. Now that he mentioned it, I could feel the searing pain radiating through my body. But why? My brows furrowed in confusion. “What happened to me?” My v

Asher’s POV I tried everything to get Isabella to sleep, and now, after hours of mourning her child, she’s finally resting. Lying beside her, I listened as she spoke about all the dreams she had for her baby—the nursery she wanted to decorate, the lullabies she planned to sing. She was so happy to finally have a child after years of suffering. And now, that happiness has been ripped away. Maris killed her baby. The only punishment she deserves is death. I needed to leave, but I couldn’t bring myself to walk out the door. I didn’t want to leave Isabella alone, not like this. Just as I debated staying, my phone rang. Michael. I answered immediately. “Speak.” My eyes widened as he delivered the news—one of the people responsible for poisoning my pack had been caught. “Thank you, Michael. I’ll be there soon. This is good news.” Satisfaction settled in my chest. I turned to leave, but my feet hesitated. Isabella. I moved to her room, standing in the doorway, watching th

Zachary’s POV “What do you mean you can’t find her?!” I roared, my anger surging as I hurled a vase across the room. It shattered against the wall, a jagged shard slicing across his face. He flinched but didn’t dare wipe the blood trickling down his cheek. I didn’t care. “I gave you one task—one—and you’ve failed over and over again,” I seethed, my voice dripping with fury. The man trembled before me, his body shaking with fear. “A-Alpha, I’m sorry,” he stammered, his voice barely above a whisper. “I’ve done everything I can. I swear. But I still—still can’t find her.” My jaw clenched, my vision hazy with rage. “You have one day,” I growled, stepping closer, towering over him. “If you come back with nothing—you’re dead.” His eyes widened in pure terror, and he wasted no time bolting out of the room. I exhaled sharply, raking my fingers through my hair, frustration boiling beneath my skin. “Where the fuck are you, Isabella?!” I bellowed, my voice raw with desperation.

Asher’s POV “This is great, Asher. Zachary will finally pay for the crimes he has committed,” Isabella said, her voice laced with excitement. Her eyes sparkled with hope, but I could only muster a small, restrained smile in response. Something felt off. Zachary’s reaction when the eyewitness spoke—it didn’t fit. He hadn’t looked like a man caught in his own lie. He had looked… blindsided. Confused. The more I replayed the moment in my head, the more uneasy I became. Had I made a mistake? Had I been so desperate for justice that I condemned the wrong man? The crowd had begun to disperse, murmurs of satisfaction and relief fading into the evening air. But Maris remained frozen in place. Her face was pale, her hands clenched tightly at her sides as if she were struggling to process everything that had just unfolded. “I think we should leave now, Asher,” Isabella said beside me, but I barely heard her. My gaze was locked on Maris. “She’ll find a way to get her son

Asher’s POV She smirked at me with no remorse in her eyes, and that only made my anger boil over. “You killed Isabella’s baby,” Maris said, her voice trembling with shock. She answered calmly, “Yes, I did. I shouldn’t have done it, but what choice did I have? The man I loved more than anything was in love with her. This was the best I could do.” I lost control. I grabbed her by the neck, my anger burning like fire. I pressed down hard, and she struggled to pull away. “You are brave to say that in front of me, Betty,” I snapped, squeezing tighter until her face turned purple. “You tried to kill Isabella, and you are still alive!” Maris’s voice trembled as she pleaded, “Asher, if you don’t stop, you will kill her for real!” I shouted, “I don’t care right now! She tried to kill Isabella. She is the reason Isabella is the way she is, and she deserves to die in my hands!” Her eyes widened in fear as she stuttered, “Y-you… I…I have the antidote. Let me go if
