All Chapters of ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN MATE : Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Chapter 60DARIUS The pack hall was filled to the brim with people. Some were seated at the long tables, while others stood along the walls, chatting and laughing. Cups of local brew were being passed around, and the air was thick with the smell of roasted meat and bread.The atmosphere seemed festive, almost celebratory, though this was not truly a festival. It was the coronation of the newly shifted wolves—young pack members who had recently experienced their first transformation and were now ready to be officially welcomed into the pack as full members.I walked into the hall dressed in my usual ceremonial attire—black leather trousers and jacket, with a woolen cloak draped over my shoulders. Adrian followed closely behind me, dressed in white leather trousers and jacket with a black woolen cloak that contrasted sharply with mine.We made our way to the raised platform at the front of the hall where two thrones had been placed. As we settled into our seats, the noise in the room

Chapter 062DARIUS We remained awake for the rest of the night, every guard on high alert, every warrior positioned strategically throughout the territory. But there were no signs of nightwalkers except for the one Sebastian had reported attacking him near the chambers.By midmorning, the sun was fully up, and the tension in the air began to ease slightly. Nightwalkers tended to attack during the night, not during daylight hours. Their power seemed diminished in the sun, their movements slower and less coordinated.I sent Daniel out to make rounds throughout the pack, instructing him to inform everyone that they had permission to resume their daily activities. Markets could reopen. Craftsmen could return to their workshops. Life could continue.But with restrictions."No one ventures into the woods, to the plantations, or to the rivers without being in the company of at least three others," I told Daniel firmly. "Make sure everyone understands this is not optional. Anyone caught vio

Chapter 064SEBASTIAN The guard Darius sent to accompany me at the doorpost turned out to be none other than Pete.I heard him before I saw him—whistling some cheerful tune as he walked down the hallway toward my position. When he rounded the corner and spotted me, he burst out laughing."What is so funny?" I demanded, though I could not help but smile at his infectious joy."You!" Pete exclaimed, still chuckling. "You should see your face right now. You look absolutely shocked.""What are you doing here?" I asked, genuinely confused. Pete worked in the guard duties."I am to be your guard and helper on the doorpost," Pete announced proudly, puffing out his chest like he had just been given some great honor.I stared at him in disbelief. "You are joking.""I am not," Pete insisted, his grin widening. "Darius himself posted me here. He said we are to work together guarding his chambers.""Did he really?" I asked, still not quite believing it."Yes," Pete confirmed. "Though he did warn

Chapter 066DARIUS As soon as we settled into the throne room and took our places around the large table Torren and some of the guards had worked tirelessly to prepare, I took a moment to look at each of the assembled Alphas. These were leaders from neighboring territories, wolves who had traveled considerable distances to be here. Their presence represented both hope and desperation.I stood, commanding the attention of the room."I want to thank each of you for heeding my call," I began, my voice carrying across the space. "I know many of you could have celebrated the Harvest Moon festival in your own territories, with your own packs. The fact that you chose to come here, to this gathering, speaks to the seriousness of the situation we all face."Several Alphas nodded in acknowledgement, their expressions grave."I will not waste your time with pleasantries or unnecessary formalities," I continued. "We are here to discuss the nightwalker threat and to coordinate our response. Beca

Chapter 068SEBASTIAN I could not yell out in pain—not when there were still people milling about in the hallways and nearby rooms who might hear. So I bit down on my lip hard and whimpered instead, trying to keep the sound as quiet as possible even as agony shot through my twisted wrist.Darius cursed under his breath, his face going pale as he realized what he had done. He immediately released my wrist and climbed onto the table, gathering me into his arms with surprising gentleness."Are you alright?" Darius demanded, his hands cupping my face and forcing me to meet his eyes. "Sebastian, talk to me. Are you hurt badly?"I nodded, still whimpering softly. The pain was intense, radiating up my entire arm.Darius pulled me into a tight embrace, his strong arms wrapping around me protectively. "I am so sorry. I did not know it was you. I thought—" His voice broke slightly. "I am so sorry for hurting you."I hugged him back despite the pain, burying my face against his shoulder. The
