All Chapters of ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN MATE : Chapter 111 - Chapter 117

Chapter 109DARIUS I woke to pounding on my door. Heavy, insistent knocking that pulled me from sleep far too quickly. My body protested the movement as I tried to sit up, muscles aching and wounds pulling.The door opened before I could call out, and a figure slipped inside. Sebastian. He crossed the room quickly and came to stand at the end of my bed, looking down at me with concern clear on his face.Then he poked my stomach.I grunted at the unexpected contact, still half-asleep and confused.Sebastian smiled, the expression lighting up his whole face. "Good morning, Alpha."I didn't answer. Couldn't answer. Just sighed and rolled over, pulling the blanket up over my head like that would make the morning disappear."Are you alright?" Sebastian's voice was closer now, worried. "The ceremony is about to begin. Torren sent me to wake you. He tried reaching you through the mind link but it wasn't going through."Right. The ceremony. The celebration we'd planned. I'd completely forg

Chapter 111SEBASTIAN That night, I lay in my small quarters trying to sleep. But rest wouldn't come.Instead, I felt it. The bond pulling at me, sending sensations that weren't my own flooding through my consciousness.Fear. Grief. Pain.Darius was having nightmares again.I could feel his chest tightening, his breath quickening. I could sense the panic and sorrow washing over him in waves. This had been happening for days now—every night, the nightmares came. And every night, I felt them through our bond.He was grieving Adrian. That much was clear. Despite everything that had happened, despite Adrian being a traitor and a vessel for his father's evil plans, Darius had still cared for him in some way. And now he was processing that loss the only way he knew how by bottling it up during the day and letting it consume him at night.I wanted to help. I wanted to go to him, to comfort him, to let him know he didn't have to face this alone. But how could I? Darius had made it clear

Chapter 112DARIUS I tried to act normal after the incident with Sebastian. Went through the motions of being Alpha—attending meetings, overseeing patrols, reviewing reports. But my body had other plans.It started with a fever. Low at first, barely noticeable. Just a slight warmth that made my skin feel tight and uncomfortable. But within hours, it had spiked to the point where I was shaking with chills despite sweating through my clothes.Todd was called immediately. He took one look at me and ordered everyone else out of the room."How long has this been going on?" he asked, pressing the back of his hand to my forehead."Since this morning," I managed through chattering teeth. "It's getting worse."Todd pulled out various instruments, checking my pulse, my breathing, my reflexes. But I could see the concern growing on his face. This wasn't a normal illness.Then the hallucinations started.I'd be sitting at my desk trying to work, and suddenly I'd smell Sebastian's scent. That d

ChapterLance PovThe moment I saw him standing there at the front of the pack house, my heart did that familiar skip it always did around Darius.He looked exactly the same. Maybe a bit more tired, perhaps. Lines around his eyes that hadn't been there before. But still commanding, still powerful, still devastatingly handsome in that stern, unapproachable way of his.Darius stood with his arms folded behind his back, wearing a black wool cloak that made his grey eyes stand out even more. His sword was sheathed at his side, ready for use even at a formal greeting. That cold, stern look on his face—the one that made most Alphas nervous—was firmly in place.But I wasn't most Alphas. I'd seen beneath that mask. I knew the man who existed under all that control.I dismounted from my horse with deliberate grace, taking my time. The gathered pack members watched with curiosity as I made my entrance. I waved to them, smiling warmly, playing the role of friendly visiting Alpha to perfection.B
