All Chapters of The Alpha Banished Mate : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

The hall was loud.Voices shouted from every side.They were all arguing about me.I sat on the cold floor in the middle of them. My hands were shaking, and my dress still smelled of smoke. My hair was messy. My face felt hot and dirty.Markus banged his hand on the table.“She’s trouble! Look what she’s done already. First the rogues, now a fire! How long before she burns down the whole pack?”Caleb stood beside him, pointing at me.“She shouldn’t even be here! Her blood killed our people. Why should we protect her? We should send her away—or kill her now.”A few people nodded. Their eyes were cold.They looked at me like I was some kind of monster.I tried to speak, but my throat felt tight. My voice came out soft.“I didn’t start the fire. Please, I didn’t—”“Liar!” Caleb shouted, cutting me off.“Everyone saw you running from it!”I wanted to tell them what really happened—that Ivar had tied me, that the fire wasn’t my fault—but I knew no one would believe me. No one knew the trut

“Leave her alone, brother.” Jason’s voice came deep and firm. His tone held no anger, yet it carried the kind of command that made the air tighten. Ivar turned slowly, eyes narrowing. “Seriously, brother? You’re treating me like this because of her?” Jason didn’t flinch. “I said, leave her.” The hall went quiet again. I could hear the sound of my heartbeat. Jason’s eyes, dark and steady, were locked on his brother. For a moment, no one moved. Then, without another word, Ivar gave a low laugh — calm, sharp, and cold. “As you wish, brother,” he said at last, before turning away. His boots made soft thuds as he left the hall, disappearing into the shadows beyond the doorway. Jason’s gaze followed him until the last trace of Ivar’s presence faded. Then, slowly, his eyes came back to me. He took a step forward. I tried to rise, but my legs gave out. I felt dizzy. The room spun for a moment. Before I could fall, strong arms caught me. Warm. Steady. His chest felt like solid h

what happened I asked Lena I found this note on my window she said while handing me a note it read " The prophecy is near" what does that even mean?? I asked I don't know Lena said but I think it might be something relating to you aria no one has ever sent me a note before hmm I said I don't know anything about any prophecy who knows well sleep tight aria you've got a long day tomorrow she said as she covered me with blanket while I lay down on my bed goodnight night aria she said while kissing my forehead good night Lena I said while closing my eyes.The morning light spilled through Lena’s window, soft and golden, wrapping the little house in warmth. For the first time in a while, I felt rested. My body was still healing, but my mind—my heart—was racing with what had happened last night.Jason’s touch. His eyes. The way his voice trembled when he said he couldn’t control himself.I pressed a hand against my chest, trying to steady the wild beat there. I didn’t know what to make of

I felt scared and nervous as we drove down the quiet forest road after we had just left the cabin.My hands were shaking a little, and my chest felt tight. The note from the restaurant was still in my mind and what Alaric said was also in my mind too everything was just confusing I was lost in my own mind.“Jason… I am not safe here,” I whispered softly. “I don’t understand the Red Moon, the letters, or anything. I don’t know what is happening to me.” Jason’s eyes were dark and steady. He looked at me with a soft but serious gaze. “I think I know a place where you can get some answers,” he said quietly. “It might help you understand a little, even if it’s only a little.” I swallowed hard. My stomach felt tight. “Where?” I asked quietly. Jason gave me a small, gentle smile. “You’ll see soon. It is a temple. A place where the Moon Goddess can speak to those who are ready to listen. She can guide you, Aria. maybe you'll get some answers there. I shivered a little. I had never seen a r

The forest was cold.The moon hung low and red, watching us like an eye that never blinked. The trees moved in the wind, whispering secrets to each other, and the leaves made soft sounds under our feet. I walked beside Lena, but my heart was somewhere else — still back in that temple, breaking into a thousand pieces.I could still hear Jason’s voice in my head.> “It’s true, Aria… but I was never going to hurt you.”Those words played again and again like a song I didn’t want to remember. I told myself to stop thinking about him, but the more I tried, the more my chest ached.Lena held my hand and said softly, “Let’s go, Aria. It’s not safe here.”Her hand felt warm. Mine felt cold.“But why would he do this to me?” I whispered. My voice cracked halfway. “Why would Jason lie to me? I was a fool for trusting him too early I didn't even know him.Lena didn’t answer for a long time. She just sighed and wiped her cheek as if she wanted to hide her own tears. “Clean your tears, Aria. You’r
