Lahat ng Kabanata ng Forsaken With His Pup: Kabanata 71 - Kabanata 80

Kaelen’s POV“Alpha, aren’t you going to chase her?!”Their voices kept echoing around me, one after another, but none of them truly reached me.I just stood there, frozen, staring blankly into the empty path where Aria disappeared.It felt like everything slowed down, like my mind refused to understand what just happened.The warriors looked uneasy, waiting for my command, but I couldn’t speak. My chest felt hollow. My thoughts were tangled and heavy.“Alpha?” Lennox called again, sounding confused and worried.I didn’t look at him immediately. Instead, I slowly crouched down and picked up the flower Aria dropped.I held it gently and stared at it for a long time like it could answer every question spinning inside my head. The petals trembled slightly in my hand.Around us, everyone began whispering.“How could she do that?”“She left the Alpha!”The murmurs grew louder, stabbing at me one by one. It was humiliating—my own mate walking away in front of my entire kingdom. My wolves lo

Aria’s POV“But… what about all of you?” I asked them with a shaky voice. Part of me wanted to argue more, to refuse to leave them behind, but their eyes were steady, full of determination.“Don’t worry about us,” one of them said, stepping closer. “We can handle this. But we can’t lose our Alpha, Lady Aria. You’re the only one who can stop him. Please… you must hurry before it’s too late.”The words hit me straight in the heart. I blinked several times, trying to stop the heaviness building in my chest, but it was useless. Warm tears quietly rolled down my cheeks before I even noticed. My breath trembled as I nodded, forcing strength into my voice.“Okay,” I whispered. It was all I could manage.And then I ran.I ran as if every second stolen meant someone would die. My feet pounded the ground, fast and desperate, until I realized I was no longer in human form. My bones shifted, muscles stretched, fur burst through my skin. In a blink, I was in my Aristea form—bigger, stronger, and f

Aria’s POVI moved Aiden’s hand from mine, hoping he would run with me, but instead he pushed me away.His eyes were sharp and full of something I could not read. My heart dropped.“A-Aiden…?”“I-I'm not coming with you, Aria…”“What?” I stared at him, confused, refusing to believe what I just heard. “You have to come with me! We need to leave! We still have time!”He shook his head. “You have to save yourself. I won’t let anything happen to you. Let me end this.”I felt my throat tighten, and my chest started to ache. I shook my head, stepping closer.“No. I can’t let this happen to you!” I yelled. “You are wounded. You’re weak. Please don’t do this, Aiden!”He looked down as if ashamed, as if something inside him was already breaking.“Aria… I’ve done so many things wrong. I failed you many times.” His voice trembled.“I can’t undo all of it.”I reached for him, wanting to pull him back, but before my fingers could touch his skin, a force yanked us apart—it was fast and violent! A b

Aria’s POV“No! No!” Olivia screamed, then pushed Hunter away with all her strength.The sound echoed through the clearing like something inside her snapped.The witches who stood with her were already cornered by our wolves, trembling and trying to escape, but most of them were trapped.They were done.Olivia glared at me like I had ruined her entire world.“You will pay for this!” she spat. “I worked for this. Centuries of accumulated corruption!” She was shaking, her voice cracking with fury. It didn’t sound human anymore.“Just give up!” My heart was pounding hard in my chest. I didn’t want anyone else to die.“I will never!” she roared back.Her tone changed. It sank lower, becoming something unnatural, like it came from the depths of the earth—almost demonic. The hairs on my arms rose.Before anyone could move, the sky responded. A loud crack tore through the air as lightning split the clouds open. The Blood Moon above us flickered like a dying flame, the clouds swallowing it

Aria’s POVAfter minutes of silence, I finally spoke, but my voice came out weak.“We have to find him first, please.”He nodded slowly. His hand tightened around mine, warm and steady, and then he placed his other hand gently on top of it. It was the kind of touch that tried to hold someone together when they were falling apart.“You need to take your time,” he said quietly. “We will visit the councils. The situation has already reached them. But we still need to be cautious about everything. I don’t want anything bad to happen to you.”His voice was calm, but there was tension underneath it.“If they try to use you, I won’t let them,” he added. “I’ll face them myself.”I didn’t say anything. My mind was too heavy. I just stared ahead, not really seeing anything, my thoughts sinking deeper and deeper.Aiden must have noticed because he leaned in and kissed my cheek. His lips were soft, comforting, but I was so lost in my own guilt that I barely reacted.My heart sped up at the touch,
