All Chapters of Mated to the Forbidden: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

- Luigi's POV - I immediately dashed towards the crowd. When I got there, some wolves were running towards the towering gate of our castle. The enemies were not yet inside our territory. I eyed my brother Xylo; he had already removed his coat and folded his long sleeves up to his elbow. My mother was out of sight; she was probably inside the castle. She's not fighting anymore—we can protect her on our own. My mother does not necessarily need to fight with other wolves, but her strength remains the same. She can beat anyone she fights.Our Luna was already in her stance and ready to fight. She looked pissed and angry, though—probably frustrated that her night had turned into a battle night for our pack.I headed outside; our guards and even other wolves were already fighting with the invaders coming from the west. I could see some dead bodies of wolves on the ground; blood was also starting to pour everywhere."What is the status?" I asked our men standing in the tower of our castle.

I was not able to understand his words. What should I stop doing? Is he mad that I attempted to enter their castle? For talking to his sister? Or is he mad at me for aiming my arrows and helping them earlier? I am as confused as ever with his words. He was difficult to understand... and never in a million years will I be able to read his thoughts or understand where he is coming from.The rest of the night went by in a blur. As I expected, my sister was protected by other leaders inside the castle. She was with the mother of the Alpha, Beta, and Omega. She was guarded by them to prevent any attacks that might be directed at her. It was an understandable move from the leaders—my sister is crucial in our pack; we cannot let her be exposed to such harm.We went home together that night in silence. I could feel my father staring at me through the rearview mirror as my eyes closed from the fatigue consuming my body. He was probably curious about my whereabouts when the attack happened. I c

- Clary’s POV - I snapped out of my thoughts the moment the announcer called my name for the next duel.For a second, I just froze, unsure if I should feel thankful for the distraction or curse the timing. My mind was a mess—I couldn’t tell if I was nervous, restless, or downright terrified.Maybe I felt all three.But my feet moved on their own, carrying me toward the center of the stadium.The cheers from the audience sounded distant, muffled, like I was underwater. My heart pounded, each beat louder than the noise around me.If I lose today, it won’t just be my last match for the year—it might be the last match of my life.Because here, in this arena, losing wasn’t just about pride. There was always the possibility of death.I tried not to think about it.If I die here, maybe it would be fate. Maybe I deserved it for being so weak before. Maybe heaven decided this was where my story ended.But no.I didn’t want it to end here.I clenched my fists.I still wanted to get stronger. I

In the end, I really went to the hospital alone. My cut would not stop bleeding no matter how much pressure I put on it. I had already lost too much blood, and I was feeling lightheaded and dizzy. It reached the point where I could no longer ignore it, so I finally decided to go to the hospital by myself.I was scared of what my family would say if I asked a doctor to come to our house to treat me. I could already imagine the mocking words they would throw at me, calling me weak, telling me I was nothing but a burden to the Vertina family. That was what always happened when I showed even the smallest weakness.Another thing that stopped me from calling a doctor to the house was the tight security in our territory. We were part of the family of leaders. Our home was heavily guarded at all times. I was sure they would not allow any outsider, especially someone like a doctor, to come in freely. The safety of my sister always came first before anything else. Even a harmless visit like tha

- Xylo’s POV -“I missed you…”That made my heart freeze. This is the reason why I should refrain from seeing her. She knows too well my weakness; she knows perfectly how to tame this raging wolf inside me. I cannot let these emotions cloud my mind… I cannot think clearly when she is looking at me like that, like she’s about to cry.I wasn’t able to control myself and hugged her. I missed her, too. Everything happening around the kingdom is making me miss her even more. I want her by my side, but I cannot afford to let her be in danger. I want to make her mine, but the world will only be harsh toward her. Everything is contradicting… but I cannot control or deceive myself anymore.“Hmm?” I asked her again. I wanted to hear her voice saying that she missed me. It makes me feel alive…She started crying, and I held her even tighter because of that. I tried my best to refrain from seeing her. I tried my goddamn best to avoid bringing harm into her life. But here I am… doing everything ag
