All Chapters of His Forbidden Mate: Hiding the Alpha's Secret Heir: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

"Legally married. And fully marked."Mr. Sterling's announcement brought death to the grand foyer with his first uttered word. My legs gave out. Dominic used his quick reflexes to catch my waist which saved me from falling with Ethan into the marble floor.I managed to speak despite my heart racing inside my chest. You mean... a mating bite? You want us to...Sterling said to me with solemnity that he would not look at me. The Alpha must officially claim his mate through a bite which establishes marriage under pack law. The union requires you to have his permanent mark on your neck before the Elders arrive on Sunday. They will declare the marriage a fraud if you do not have his permanent mark on your neck. The boy will be taken from them.I held sleeping Ethan closer to my body. I refuse to allow them to take him. But Dominic and I—we can't! We hate each other!Dominic spoke in a voice that made the air shake between us.I turned my head to observe him. His silver eyes shone with a st

The fire in my veins did not kill me. It consumed me, burning away the poison, the fear, and the last remnants of the weak, terrified girl I used to be.As Dominic continued to feed from my neck, the excruciating pain gradually transformed into a humming, buzzing electricity of power. My heart, which had been slowing to a deadly halt, suddenly sped up, beating in time with the large Alpha gripping me.The purple fog that had filled my head dissipated. I inhaled, my lungs stretching to fill with fresh, sweet air. All of my senses were on fire. I could hear the frightened pulse of the pack doctor kneeling beside me. I could taste the acrid aftertaste of the wolfsbane fading away.But more than anything, I could feel him.'Sophie.' The guttural voice was not spoken to me. It reverberated in my mind, through the newly forged steel cable of our mate bond.'I am here,' I replied through the mate bond, a warm shock running through me.Dominic withdrew his fangs from my neck. He growled low i

The morning sunlight streamed through the dense velvet curtains of the master suite, creating a golden light that illuminated the disordered silk bedding.I woke up slowly, my body experiencing pain that felt to me like the most pleasurable sensation. A powerful arm was tightly wrapped around me, forcing my body to touch his back which radiated extreme warmth. Dominic's hand on me showed his need to keep possession of me even while he was sleeping.The low rumbling sound started to come from his broad chest after I changed my position. He used his nose to touch the curve of my neck while he breathed in deeply above my new mating mark. The bite had healed completely, leaving behind a silver scar that permanently identified me as his Luna.Dominic spoke to me while he was still waking up. His voice sounded as if he had just woken up from sleep.He pressed his lips gently against the mark, which caused my body to feel a powerful surge of electricity that traveled down my spine.He whispe

Let‘s put that theory to the test, Steele.Alpha Kael didn‘t just run; he exploded forward, a terrifying blur of jagged tribal scars and chaos of tribal tattoos.Dominic met him square in the middle of the hallway. The crash of the two huge Alphas physically collided sounded like a bomb going off in the mansion. The shockwave literally blew the huge oak doors of their hinges down the corridor and shattered every remaining pane of glass in the windows.It wasn‘t a fight. It was a natural disaster.They bit and gouged and clawed each other with an unholy, feral fury. Dominic threw a big right hook that shivered just under Kael‘s chin, but the Bloodmoon Alpha just grinned and summoned up his fiendish magic, his crimson eyes dancing with glee as he drove his claws through Dominic‘s ribs. Blood sprayed all over the expensive wallpaper.Dominic didn‘t react. He grabbed Kael by the collar and threw him back hard against a massive marble support column; the marble shattered under the pressu

[Dominic’s POV]My claws reached into Alpha Kael's chest to destroy his core mental state which led to his extreme mental breakdown.Kael's blood-red eyes showed surprise when they turned wide open. He stopped his sadistic laughter to produce a gurgling wet sound from his throat."It's my house so I will kill you here," I shouted while I forcefully twisted my grip.I withdrew my hand with force which caused the enormous Bloodmoon Alpha to fall dead on the damaged marble floor. The Bloodmoon enforcers who continued to battle Marcus downstairs received instant news of their Alpha's passing. Their morale completely broke down. I heard their frightened howls as they dropped their weapons yet attempted to escape the estate only to be killed by my enraged guards.The empire had been secured. Our forces achieved victory.The triumph turned to ash when I stood above Kael's body and breathed heavily.A sudden wave of ice-cold terror instantly struck my chest with freezing power. The mate bond
