All Chapters of The Alpha's Forbidden Love: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Silas stared at Selina seriously. "I know of an old pack that lived in isolation and had healing blood. They were called the Silverveil Pack, but they disappeared a long time ago. Nobody knows what happened to them, and now they’re just a legend." Selina could only stand there, stunned. She had never heard of such a pack before. Her parents never mentioned it, and before she was born, her family was just a small, lone group. How could she possibly come from a pack like that? "No one talks about it because no one knows, and the Silverveil Pack now only appears in old books. Honestly, I got really interested and started researching them," Silas explained. "They used to be the strongest pack, and other packs saw them as a threat. Things got ugly when every other pack turned against them and started kidnapping members to use as their personal blood banks." Selina stayed quiet for a moment, the words reminding her of what Lyra had said: 'You’re just a walking blood bank, a slave to our

"Where are you going?" Selina asked when Rowan stared at her like he’d just been caught doing something suspicious. She pretended she hadn’t heard anything earlier.Rowan narrowed his eyes a little, then chose to play it cool. "I was looking for you," he said. "You were gone forever. Raven almost cried because he missed you so much," he added loudly enough for Raven to hear. He stepped aside so Selina could pass him and walk in."Stop lying," Raven snapped.Rowan looked offended. "Excuse me? A second ago you said you couldn’t live without Selina, remember?"Raven shot him a murderous glare and hurled a pillow at him, but Rowan dodged easily, flashed a smug grin, then walked out laughing as he shut the door. He was clearly trying to stir things up between them. It was awkward and weird, but also a little entertaining.Meanwhile Selina still heard that overheard confession echoing in her head, and she couldn’t look away from Raven. He glanced at her for half a second before whipping his

"I, Alaric Blackthorn, accept Selina Frostveil’s rejection," Alaric said, his voice rough. Pain ripped through both of them at once. Selina clutched her stomach as the burn spread through every inch of her body. Beneath the agony that almost knocked her off her feet as their mate bond snapped, something unexpected rose quietly in her chest. Relief. Alaric had finally accepted it. She was free. He wouldn’t haunt her steps anymore. Raven pulled Selina into his arms as they both sank to the ground. One hand rubbed her back, the other cupped her cheek. The moment his skin touched hers, a warm spark shot straight up her spine. Selina’s eyes widened at how clear and vivid it felt. Raven’s touch soothed her like a medicine meant for fresh wounds. Slowly, the pain draining her body began to fade. Raven helped her stand, and at the same time, Alaric rose to his feet. He looked at them one last time. Selina met his gaze and felt her chest tighten at the shattered look on the face of the

They stepped into the bathroom in silence, the air thick with unspoken tension. Raven lifted Selina effortlessly and set her down on a small table near the toiletries, handling her like someone fragile who needed careful attention. Then he moved toward the shower, turned the water on, and adjusted the temperature, waiting for it to get just right.Once the water was comfortably warm, Raven came back to her, lifted her again, and set her under the stream.Selina wobbled, but before her forehead could hit the glass, Raven’s arms wrapped around her waist, steadying her. Water splashed over both of them as he shifted, but he didn’t seem to care at all.The warm water poured over them, Raven’s wet hair sticking to his forehead and partially covering his eyes. Once Selina regained her balance, he let go and ran his fingers through his hair, his gaze briefly tracing the stream of water.Selina just stared. Her eyes followed the droplets sliding from Raven’s hair to his shirt, darkening the f

When morning came, Selina woke up wrapped in Raven’s warmth. Her body still felt pleasantly sore, the kind of feeling that lingered after a night she knew she’d never forget. Memories of their confession in the bathroom and everything that happened after hit her all at once.Raven had touched her with a gentleness she never imagined from him. The way his fingers traced the curve of her waist, the slow drag of his hands, the soft kisses he left on her skin. Every part of it left a mark she could still feel. Last night he pushed her to a place that made her knees weak. Even now, just remembering his deep voice was enough to make her cheeks burn.She used to think Raven was quiet and maybe a little innocent. She had been very wrong. He knew exactly what he was doing and exactly how to undo her. His voice, the things he whispered, the way he took control of every moment between them made her forget how to breathe.Today was their first day at Westbrook University. Raven was a professor an
