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

“They’ll find… whatever it is why uou don’t seem… sexually active,” Yule managed to say, his voice barely a whisper. He shifted his weight, his eyes darting to the guards stationed at the end of the long hall. “They’ll look for any reason to claim you aren't one of them. A man who doesn't hunt for a mate is a broken one in their eyes. They’ll call for a trial of blood, or a physical inspection by the pack healers to see why your ‘nature’ is stunted.”“A physical inspection?” Maera repeated, the blood draining from her face. She turned away from him, staring out a narrow stone window at the training grounds below. She didn’t want him to know that she was scared of a physical inspection becayse it would be strange if she was. “They are looking for a weakness, sir. Any weakness,” Yule pressed on, stepping closer. “If they think you are… ‘distracted’ by men, they will claim you are unfit to lead the Crescent Army. They will say you lack the predatory instinct.”

“That is enough for today! Dismissed!” Maera shouted, her voice projecting across the expanse of the training grounds. She was beyond exhausted, having been out in charge and covering for another commanders army section. She had been asked to train another group in their wolf form, but luckily she had been able to maneuver her way out of that task. The last thing she needed was to blow her cover. The soldiers she trained were a mix of young recruits and battle-hardened warriors. They came to a sharp halt, some of them looked ready to collapse, their tunics soaked through with sweat. “We will continue the defensive drills at dawn,” Maera added, wiping a smudge of dirt from her forehead with the back of her leather glove. “Ensure your blades are sharpened and your armor is oiled. I will not tolerate rust on my field.”“Yes, Commander!” the men barked in unison.She watched them disperse toward the barracks before turning toward the main palace. Her muscles were screaming. The sword

“Commander, the council has been waiting for close to an hour,” Yule said from where he stood at the corner. He looked a little more relaxed today, likely because the rumor mill was currently chewing on the story of the Commander and the Lord’s daughter instead of questioning his master’s gender.“Well, they don’t expect me to leave my duties, do they?” She asked, adjusting her brooch. She had only finished her morning session with soldiers about twenty minutes ago, conveniently avoiding training soldiers to fight with their wolves. She could only hope that no unfortunate soul would choose to spread a rumour about why she never shifted. “Let’s go.”They left the solider barracks and headed towards the main buildings. She finally stepped reached the Council Hall. Yule waited for her outside by the door while she stepped inside. She noticed the empty seat immediately—Lord Berin was conspicuously absent.He has returned to his district, no doubt, trying to explain to his wife why his

“What exactly do you mean, you don’t discriminate?” Theron asked, his voice still caught in his throat. He looked at Colin as if his friend had suddenly sprouted a second head that spoke a language he couldn’t understand.“I mean exactly what I said,” Colin replied, leaning back against his mahogany wardrobe, looking entirely too relaxed for a man who had just been caught in a scandalous triad. “I like what I like, Theron. A man’s strength, a woman’s softness… it’s all just different colors of the same flame. Why should I limit myself to one?”“But the Goddess… the mates,” Theron stammered, his mind racing through every ancient law he’d ever been taught. It was abominable and required death by law. Moreover, there were very few people who had ever been caught he with men. It wasn’t a common feeling like Colin was acting. “How does that work for someone like you?”“Like I said…” Colin rolled his eyes. His lips had an amused smirk at his friends naivety. “The goddess had better make sur

Chapter 23Theron froze and so did Mæra. He took a few steps back in a trance like state. It was a glitch. It had to be. There was no way he could have Cæl as his mate. The goddess would never pair him with a man. MATE. Riel screamed in Theron's head. He looked at Cæl wondering if he felt it too. If he had heard what I heard too. He needed to be sure that it was not just him, that he was not the crazy one. “You… you felt it too, didn't you?” Theron asked carefully, his voice breaking up in shock. Mæra had heard it alright—her wolf screaming in her head non stop shouting MATE. But it could not be. The goddess had to be playing some cruel joke on her. Besides the fact that Theron was married, there was the fact that she was a man to everyone here. If word got out about this and people began to question her sex it would…“Felt what?” Mæra kept a straight face as she found her voice again after the initial shock. The only solution in sight was to keep faking, keep faking like she h
