Semua Bab The Alpha’s Forbidden Alpha: Bab 41 - Bab 47

Chapter 31Maera got down from her horse, her legs feeling really heavy as she strode across the ground. She had expected a lot more vigor from the enemy, but it seemed like they had expected less, so they didn't give it their all.Well, too bad for them.It hurt to breathe because her ribs were sore but did not show it on her face. She watched her men take the prisoners to the fort. The prisoners had ropes around their hands. Theron came to her, his face was dirty with soot and blood."We won," he said, looking at the field where they fought."We did not really win," Maera said to him. "We just survived." She cleaned her knife on a piece of cloth that was on the ground and put it away. "The other side knew where to attack us. They knew our southern watch was not strong. That was not luck."Theron said, "I know." He looked towards the path leading to the palace and his eyes looked sad. "Let us go home now."The Council Hall was quiet when Maera went in an hour later. She still had blo

Maera hesitated.“Yes… I would.” Theron sighed and bit his lip, looking away. He slid further onto the bed and lay back, staring up at the ceiling. After a moment, Maera moved beside him and did the same.The rain hammered harder against the roof. The curtains floated in the wind ans while Maera knew rain waa making it’s way through the windows, she chose to ignore it “It is not because I do not want to,” she added quietly.Theron turned his head toward her.“Because this is… wrong?” he asked. “Because we are men?”Maera swallowed.“It is wrong,” she said carefully. “You are the Alpha. I am a commander.”Theron scoffed softly.“Wrong?” he murmured. “The Moon Goddess says you are the perfect match for me and somehow that is wrong?”Maera exhaled slowly.“You have a wife.”“If I didnt have a wife, would things be different.”“Again, you are the alpha. You need a wife who will birth a strong heir flr ypu. And you have to abide by the rules of the pack and tradition irrespective of if t

She looked up with red, teary eyes to see Cael with a worried look plastered on his face. For a moment, she thought she saw guilt flash across the commander's face. “Whatever is the matter, my lady?” he asked.Goddess, he’s so gentle, Lunara thought to herself. She had never really had a man be gentle with her or even show affection. Cael was different. She could still remember her marriage ceremony to Theron, and how Cael had been there for her, noticing what Theron hadn't.“I am quite alright,” she lied, sniffling.Maera gave her a look of disbelief. She had heard the sobs from quite a distance, and then she came to investigate only to see Lunara spiraling. Guilt prodded her heart as she remembered the night before, with Theron kissing her… with Theron in her bed.Well, he’s your mate, Naya whispered.It doesn’t justify it. She pulled out a handkerchief from her pocket and carefully wiped Lunara's eyes and the snot around her nose, then held out a hand to her.“You should not be on

If Theron had a way to skip the emergency council meeting that had been called by his Beta, he would have. He sat in the room at the head of the table, looking bored out of his mind. His eyes wandered lazily across the room before finally settling on Beta Gerald. “I do not see Commander Cael.”“Last time I checked, Alpha Theron, Commander Cael is not part of the council.” It was Lord Hamish that replied, his nose upturned in annoyance. He leaned forward, resting his body weight on his clasped palms. “He is not meant to be here except when summoned. You give the man too many privileges.”“I am starting to think I am giving you too many privileges,” hissed Theron, not backing down. His eyes flashed a red, angry color for the briefest of seconds as they bored into Hamish’s.Beta Gerald waved his hand in an attempt to relieve the room’s tension but it was futile. “It is about our war prisoner, but first, I should like to address the division on this council since the late Alpha Theron—God
