All Chapters of Mated to the Forbidden: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

- Clary’s POVThat night, exhausted and aching from training, I collapsed onto my bed and fell asleep almost instantly. My body gave in to the fatigue before I could even gather my thoughts.When I opened my eyes, I found myself standing once again before the same mansion I had dreamt of before. Its towering walls loomed against the pale glow of the moon, unchanged, as if frozen in time. The silence around it was heavy, unsettling yet familiar. I glanced around carefully, searching for signs of life within its shadowy halls. But there was no one—not yet. Everything remained the same, from the cracked marble pillars to the faint, eerie light seeping through the balcony doors.Somehow, I already knew where to go. My feet carried me with purpose through the long corridors until I reached that same room—the one where I had first seen the woman with wavy white hair.And there she was.She stood exactly as before, her back turned toward me, gazing out over the balcony as though she had been

- Clary's POV - I was aiming for the bird at the top of the tree when I felt his warm hands holding my right hand, which was holding my bow. While... his other hand, held my hand holding the arrow. I could also feel his warm breath fanning the bare skin of my neck. I bit my lip when I realized that he was behind my back, helping me aim for my target. He lowered his head and looked at the bird that I was targeting. I could feel the warm air coming out of his nose. With him being like this, I couldn’t focus even more! He could probably hear my beating heart, pounding like some crazy animal! My system was rocketing around my body, feeling the tingles from the attachment we had; his scent was overwhelming my nose so much that I couldn’t fully concentrate! Ugh! How much I wanted to pin him down to the ground and take him here—shit! What was I thinking!? Clary! He’s your sister’s mate. ‘He is our mate, Clary. It is normal to feel this way. If I were you, I would have jumped over him,’ Co

Luigi's POVI am not sure why I am walking with this Vertina. It is probably because of the fact that she caught my eye the moment I saw her. She's full of hope as she looked at the villages when I saw her earlier. She looks shy, though. I don't think she's aware that a light is surrounding her aura.I wasn't aware that there was another Vertina, but she looks more trustworthy than her sister lingering around our family.She looks bothered while we are walking together. She's quiet, too. She did not say even a word while we were walking. I can sense that she is preoccupied with some sort of things. I couldn't ask her because of her serious look.When we arrived at some sort of falls found in this forest, I smelled a familiar scent. I looked around to find its owner, but he was nowhere to be found. It was my brother's scent. I am sure that it is his scent. Was he here earlier? Did he leave after noticing our presence?No. It wasn't today; I can only smell his scent faintly. He was not

Clary's POVThe time passed by in a blur. He just sat quietly in his usual spot, and he did not bother to order me around. I would sometimes feel that he was staring behind my back, but I did not bother to ask him why. Other embarrassing questions might arise, and I might not be able to stop myself from asking them. All I did was improve my shooting skills. I focused on my archery, and it did somehow pay off when I was able to land a hit on the bird's feather on its wings.I stayed like that for several hours. It was already noon when he called me to eat with him; he grilled some fish that he caught at the river. I sat quietly in front of him. Between us was the fish on a stick that was being grilled. I am sure that their servants in their castle do not serve food like this to the alpha and other leaders. I kind of feel bad that I did not bring some food today.I grabbed the stick with the grilled fish. I could still feel his intense gaze directed towards me. I chose not to look in hi

- Clary's POV - It was around eight in the evening when Alpha Xylo and Andrea went out of the castle. Alpha was wearing a black coat with a red long-sleeved shirt underneath, his clothes perfectly matching the elegant dress my sister wore. Her hand was holding his arm as they walked outside, and all I could think was that they looked perfect for each other.Behind them, I saw both my parents and Alpha’s mother smiling in the crowd. They looked really happy with the mate of their offspring. I couldn’t help but wonder if my parents would be happy if I ever found my mate.I bit my lip when I saw Alpha Xylo’s hand on my sister’s waist. I shouldn’t be here.“The long wait is finally over! Let us all welcome Alpha and Luna!” said the emcee as both of them walked on the red carpet that was made for them.“In front of us, our Luna, Ms. Andrea Vertina… and of course, her mate, Alpha… Mr. Xylo Crosswind!” The crowd clapped and cheered for the two of them.I bit my lip, feeling so pathetic for
