All Chapters of The Alpha's Forbidden Love: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

After Alaric and his beta left, Selina found herself surrounded by hospital staff staring at her with disgust and judgment written all over their faces.Damn it. They probably all thought she’d cheated on her husband with his cousin and betrayed her Alpha. When had the story flipped like this?Selina shook her head. This wasn’t the time to care about gossip. Raven was hurt, and it was all because of her.“Please, help him,” she said.A few staff members immediately helped get Raven into his room. They took off his bloodstained shirt and handed him a clean one, leaving it unbuttoned. He sat down on the edge of the bed with their help.“I’m fine,” Raven told the staff before turning to her. One of the nurses said his wound wasn’t too deep.“Still hurts, huh?” Selina asked quietly, even though she knew damn well it did. She forced herself not to look directly at the injury on his chest.“Not really. It’s nothing serious,” Raven said with a faint smile. With that smile, it was hard to bel

The next day, Selina got a call from her best friend, Maya, the younger sister of an Alpha from the pack bordering Nightclaw. They’d known each other since Selina used to be a Luna.Maya sounded annoyed that Selina hadn’t called her yet.“I knew there was something off about that guy, but why didn’t you tell me anything?” Maya’s tone was sharp, and Selina let out a weary sigh.Apparently, one of Maya’s pack members had heard about the chaos that happened in the Nightclaw Pack and told her everything.“You didn’t even bother to tell me yourself, Sel. I thought I was your friend, but I had to find out from someone else,” Maya complained.Selina felt guilty. Everything had happened so fast that she barely had time to breathe, let alone explain. And honestly, she hadn’t wanted to worry Maya. Still, she knew she would’ve been scolded if she’d told her earlier.“I’m sorry you had to hear it from someone else. I didn’t say anything because I figured you were busy with your baby,” Selina said

Selina approached Raven and greeted him, but he seemed irritated even though he answered calmly.Raven slipped the key into the lock and opened the door. They stepped inside in silence.“Maya loves those pastries. I hung out with Oliver too, the baby. He’s so cute, and the food was amazing,” Selina said, trying to lighten the mood.“Good,” Raven replied flatly, taking off his coat and tossing it on the sofa.“How was dinner with your friend? Fun?” Selina asked, nervously fiddling with the edge of her shirt.Raven just shrugged and took off his watch. “It was okay,” he said shortly.Selina stared at him, confused. Why wasn’t he talking like usual? He didn’t even look at her while answering. Did he think the conversation was boring?“You know, Leon gave me this weird advice at dinner. He said I could take Luna’s position as a job,” Selina said, trying to make sense of his words. “How could we even consider Luna’s position as a job?”Raven didn’t respond at all. He just stared at the flo

Selina was getting ready for dinner with Raven. She slipped into a soft peach dress that fell just above her knees, off-shoulder with a light, flowing fabric. It was a gift from Maya a year ago, and it was still one of her favorites.Her makeup was simple. Just a touch of mascara and gloss. She left her hair down, the soft waves falling over her back.When she stepped out of her room, she found Raven waiting in the living room. He looked effortlessly handsome in a crisp white shirt and black pants. His hair was slicked back neatly, giving him that calm, composed look she’d come to know.‘Ugh, I’d totally drool seeing someone that handsome,’ Nyra teased in her head, making Selina’s eyes widen in embarrassment. Good thing the inner wolves couldn’t actually talk, or Nyra would’ve embarrassed me a million times by now.“You look beautiful,” Raven said, his eyes sweeping over her from head to toe.“Thank you,” Selina whispered, her heart racing faster than she wanted to admit.They headed

Something warm brushed against Selina’s lips, pulling her out of sleep. When she opened her eyes, Raven was kneeling on the floor right in front of her. His face was so close she could feel his breath. One arm rested on the edge of the sofa, the other braced beside her body. His shadow covered her face, and his sharp gaze made time freeze. She’d just dreamed he was kissing her, and now he was really here? Her cheeks burned. Did she say something embarrassing in her sleep? Raven’s hair fell over his forehead, his brows slightly furrowed like he was holding himself back. Selina’s eyes drifted down to his full lips, then to his strong jawline. He looked dangerous, yet there was something deeper in his eyes, something that made it impossible for her to look away. “I... I was just—” she stammered, not even sure what she wanted to say. Her lips parted again when she saw his jaw tighten, the veins in his neck standing out. Before she could react, he lifted her into his arms. Instinctivel
