Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Alpha Who Couldn't Forget: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

Amanda's POV My mate was being coronated as the alpha of the pack today, and for reasons I couldn’t fully name, a cold unease gnawed at me. This should have been a day of pride and triumph. Duncan had worked for this, and I had stood by him, sacrificed and bled alongside him, to make him worthy of the throne. Every late night and whispered words of encouragement I had given him had been for this. And yet, standing here, watching him on the podium, my chest tightened, a weight pressing down that I couldn’t shake.“All bow to the new Alpha as he gets ready to mark the new Luna of the pack,” the high priest’s voice boomed across the mating grounds, making every pack member kneel in unison. My heart leapt as I anticipated my name being called, my pulse thundering with the hope and fear that had kept me awake for nights on end.Duncan and I had been together for three years. I was an omega, a lowly one at that, but he had accepted me despite my status. Three years ago, when I had discov

Amanda's POV “What did you just say?” Duncan demanded, finally standing from the bed, hastily dressing as if the words I had just spoken had jolted him out of the spell Kattie had wrapped him in. Even Kattie froze, eyes wide in shock. Before, I had always clung to Duncan, never wanting to let him go, excusing his coldness and punishments, even when she was the one clearly in the wrong. I had hoped, year after year, that he would change, that he would see me for who I was and accept me fully. But now, seeing him shift so violently at my defiance, I realized just how much control he had always held over me and how little of it had been mine.“You’re an omega, Amanda. A servant as well, and an orphan with no one to fall back on. Without me, you’re nothing. How dare you speak to me in that manner?” he snapped, his words slicing through the air, laced with authority and venom.“You rejected me three years ago, Duncan,” I said, my voice steady despite the storm raging in my chest. “I am

Amanda's POV “No! You belong to me!” Duncan yelled, his voice cutting through the air. His eyes were pale, lids barely open, a sign that he was still suffering from the weakness my rejection caused. I sat there, too stunned to speak and too weak to even move. How could the alpha king be my mate? Why would the moon goddess choose to do such a thing to me? An ordinary alpha couldn’t accept an omega as his Luna, how much more the alpha king. Shifting into a sacred white wolf should have given me some courage but it didn’t. He held Duncan’s gaze in an obvious challenge but of course Duncan knew more than to be stubborn or try to fight the alpha king. Even the guards stepped aside, heads bowed in reverence and unable to meet his gaze. “She doesn’t belong to you…” he said, his voice firm but ironically as soothing as a balm. “She’s my mate.” He stated, leaving no room for arguments. Duncan’s face twisted in a scowl caused solely by the words he couldn’t say, no one dared to go against

Amanda's POV“….I’d like to mark her as mine…” Words I would never forget. The pack didn’t like that their King, the Alpha King no less, had marked me. But I didn’t care because, for the first time in forever, things were finally looking up for me.I rushed to my vanity the moment I got back to the room. And there it was, a rose mark, just above my collarbone. My eyes widened with joy at the reality of it.“But now I’m stuck here as a baby maker.” I whispered, running my thumb over the mark scared that if I didn’t touch it, it would disappear. I shook my head. “No you don’t have to worry about that right now.” I continued, stepping away from the vanity and dropping into the bed. Tonight, I’d sleep peacefully because for once, I’d been chosen.I woke up as soon as the first ray of sun came filtering through the window blinds. To me, Ambrose’s declaration last night made me feel like I was someone the subjects had to obey. Even if he never said it outright… I'm Luna now, aren’t I?I

Ambrose's Pov I dismissed her and watched her walk out of the throne room after that. Obviously heartbroken but I didn’t care, the truth had to be said; heartbreaking or not. As soon as she was out of sight, I shifted my gaze to Thor, my right hand man and Loyal Beta. He looked at me with both uncertainty and disaster and I immediately looked away, a silent understanding passing between us. “What?!” I growled. He took a deep breath, taking a precautionary step away from me. “I think that was a bit too harsh, my king.” He replied, his tone soft. My fists tightened immediately and I swallowed hard trying to contain my anger, Thor was the only one who understood me and has been by my side all these years so his skepticism wasn’t one I would overlook.“Come on Thor. You of all people know that I don’t need a mate, a Luna or anything at all. I have no idea what the moon goddess is playing at, matching me with someone.” I spat. He took another step back and I knew he was about to sa
