All Chapters of Beyond Chosen: The Alpha's Fated Mate : Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

~Elvira~ “Come in,” Gabriel’s deep voice called out when I knocked. I opened the door and stepped inside. The living room was bathed in the soft morning light, with its large windows and modern furniture. Gabriel was sitting around a table near the window, across from him sat the Matriarch, her white hair shining like silver. They both looked up as I entered. “Good morning,” I said, my voice clear and steady “Sit,” Gabriel said, gesturing to the empty chair between them. The table was spread with a lavish breakfast, freshly baked bread, seasonal fruits, and the rich aroma of dark coffee. In any other world, this would have been a peaceful morning. But here, with Gabriel’s heavy gaze on one side and the Matriarch’s sharp, assessing eyes on the other, I felt like I was sitting in a courtroom. I kept my hands in my lap so they wouldn't see them shaking. “You look pale, Elvira,” Mrs. Grayson said, her voice had the weight of someone who was used to being obey

~Elvira~ “Neolla! There you are, I have good news !” I called out, my voice nearly lost in the noise of young warriors sparing on the training grounds. Neolla was leaning over a wooden table, her thumb flying across the screen of a tablet as she barked orders to a young warrior. She looked every bit the high-ranking soldier—her hair pulled back into a tight, practical braid, her face smudged with soot and grit. She looked up, her sharp eyes softened the moment they landed on me. “Really?” she asked, passing the tablet off. She wiped her forehead with the back of her hand and led me toward the edge of the field, “What’s the good news? You look like you’ve actually swallowed a bit of sunshine for once.” I took a shaky breath. I wanted to feel the excitement I was about to describe. I needed to believe it. “Gabriel said I’ll be joining the pack tomorrow. At the full moon. The initiation is actually going to happen.” Neolla’s jaw dropped. The tough, battle-hardened warr

~Elvira~ “Not all bad?” Silas questioned incredulously. He leaned across the prep table, his shadow stretching long over the kitchen tile, then looked at me, his dark eyes had a warning that went deeper than words. “Be careful around them, child. A wolf knows where his ally stands, but a witch doesn't, they only go where serves them the most. They don't form lasting treaties and they can unravel you from the inside out.” I rubbed my bare wrist. The skin was still tender where the wooden beads had lived for the past few months. “But Alpha Gabriel invited her here himself. He is not a fool and he isn't a man who makes mistakes. He knows exactly where Selene's loyalty is, right?” I asked. Silas wiped his hands on his apron, “And that is the only reason this kitchen isn't a war zone. Everyone is silent. We are tolerant because she is the Alpha’s guest. But I heard...” He cut himself off, his eyes darting toward Neolla. The air in the room seemed to freeze. Neol

~Elvira~ The white cotton dress I had put on felt thin against my skin, a stark contrast to the humid air of the full moon night. I pulled my lushly brown hair into a tight ponytail, my fingers trembling slightly as I secured the band. This was the night that would change everything, the moon hung like a giant unblinking eye in the sky, washing the world in a pale, milky glow, looking back since I arrived Silverblade pack, I think I have achieved something, it may not be exactly all I came for but it was something. I had registered for the warrior training program to start soon, Gabriel and I are getting along somehow better than my first week here and there's Selene to help me with my mystery powers. I was on track to get my revenge. I stepped onto the porch and nearly collided with soft warm body "Elvira! I was just coming to haul you out of there." Neolla was marching toward the porch, her boots thudding against the gravel. She looked like she was vibrating w

~Elvira~ “You just had to fucking stop me from reaching the river, I was so close!” I growled at Gabriel through the mind-link, I was feeling frustrated, I clawed at the earth, trying to heave the four hundred pounds of Alpha wolf off my chest. Bane paid no heed to my fury, his enormous paws were anchored deep into the soft ground on either side of my head, locking me in place. We were a tumble of white and dark fur, a mess of heavy breathing that had nothing to do with the hunt and everything to do with the invisible mate bond pulling us together. ‘Val! What are you doing? Fight him off! Let’s continue, no one is here to know we were stopped!’ I pushed the command into the back of my mind with everything I had, but my wolf didn't bristle or snap back at the intruder. Instead, I felt her tail give a traitorous twitch against the ground, her aggression melting into something soft. ‘Mate’s in heat!’ She growled back, I tried to kick out with my hind legs, desperate
