All Chapters of The Alpha Prince Forbidden Mate : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

LenaThe thing outside my window growled.I couldn't move.Couldn't breathe.For several seconds, I stood completely still beside my bed, staring at the darkness outside.Two glowing eyes stared back at me.Then—Scratch.I jumped.The sound dragged across the glass again.My heart slammed against my ribs.I slowly stepped backward.Another growl came from outside.Low.Deep.Not human.Absolutely not human.My mouth went dry."Okay," I whispered. "That's enough."Scratch."Nope."I turned toward my bedroom door."Lena."I screamed.The door opened.And Adrian stood there.I pressed both hands against my chest."What is wrong with you?"His eyes narrowed."What is wrong with me?""Why are you walking into my room like that in the middle of the night?"He looked past me.Toward the window.Then his entire expression changed."What?"His eyes moved back to me."Move."I blinked."What?""Lena. Move."There was something in his voice.Something that immediately made my body react.I step

LenaI didn't sleep.Not really.I closed my eyes.I opened them.I turned over.I stared at the ceiling.Then I remembered the creature.The glowing eyes.The scratching at my window.The howl.And Adrian's expression when he saw it.Whatever followed you to Mooncrest... has come back.I pulled the blanket closer.There was no way I could simply sleep after that.Something had followed me.Something had been watching me.And Adrian knew more than he was telling me.I sat up."Great."I rubbed my face."Absolutely great."I looked toward the window.The forest was quiet.Nothing moved.No glowing eyes.No scratching.No growling.Just darkness.I slowly got out of bed.I needed answers.And apparently, sleep wasn't going to give them to me.As I reached for the lamp, something caught my attention.My wrist.I frowned.There was a strange warmth beneath my skin.I pulled back the sleeve of my nightshirt.Then froze.A silver crescent was visible on my wrist.My breath caught."No."I r

LenaBLOODLINE NOT FOUND.I stared at the screen.For several seconds, I couldn't understand what I was looking at.The words were simple.Too simple.They should have meant nothing more than a failed scan, a corrupted database, or a machine that had malfunctioned at the worst possible moment.But the longer I stared at them, the more impossible they became.BLOODLINE NOT FOUND.My heart was pounding so loudly that I could barely hear anything else.The sound filled my ears, drowning out the hum of the machines, the murmurs of the students, and the faint electrical crackle coming from the examination platform beneath me.I looked at the screen again.The words hadn't changed.Then the second message appeared.SUBJECT SHOULD NOT EXIST.I swallowed.My mouth had gone completely dry."What does that mean?"Nobody answered.The silence that followed was worse than any explanation could have been.I looked at Adrian.His face had gone completely still.Not confused.Not surprised.Still.H

LenaHe wasn't afraid for himself.He was afraid for me.That made my entire body go cold.I looked at Adrian.He was already staring toward the staircase.His expression had changed.Not angry.Alert.Almost dangerous.The relaxed tension that had been in his shoulders vanished. His entire body seemed to sharpen, as if he were preparing for something he had been expecting but desperately hoped would never happen.“Who is that?” I whispered.Adrian didn't answer.His gaze remained fixed on the stairs.“Adrian?”“Stay here.”I frowned.“You just told me not to let anyone take my blood, and now you're telling me to stay here while some stranger is asking where I am?”“Yes.”“That makes absolutely no sense.”“It doesn't have to.”He started toward the stairs.I grabbed his arm.“Wait.”He looked down at my hand.Then back at me.“Lena.”“I'm coming with you.”“No.”“I'm not staying upstairs alone.”“You're safer here.”“That's what everyone keeps saying.”I released his arm.“And somehow

LenaThe trees seemed to hold their breath.I stared into the darkness.Those eyes.My heart stopped.I knew them.I had seen them before.Not here.Not tonight.In my room.That night when I'd woken up and found something watching me from the darkness.The same impossible eyes.The same cold, terrifying presence.The creature hadn't attacked me then.It had simply watched.And now it was here.Watching me again.“That's…”My voice barely came out.Adrian glanced at me.“What?”I couldn't answer.The creature stepped slowly out from between the trees.Only one step.Enough for moonlight to touch part of its body.I couldn't make out its full shape.It remained mostly hidden in the shadows.But those eyes were unmistakable.Glowing.Focused.On me.Adrian immediately moved in front of me.“Stay behind me.”The creature didn't move.It didn't charge.It didn't attack.It simply stared.At me.Almost as if it were waiting.I swallowed.“It's the same one.”Adrian looked at me.“What?”“T
