All Chapters of The Alpha Prince Forbidden Mate : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Adrian“A warning.”The words left my mouth before I could stop them.Lena stared at me.“What kind of warning?”I didn't answer.My eyes remained fixed on the trees.Something was wrong.The forest had gone completely silent.No insects.No birds.Not even the sound of the wind moving through the branches.That silence was worse than the howl.I stepped closer to Lena.“We're leaving.”She didn't move.“Adrian…”“Now.”“But—”“Lena.”Something in my voice made her stop.I reached for her arm.The moment my fingers touched her skin, her mark flared.Silver light shot beneath her skin.She gasped.I pulled my hand away.“What the hell?”The light disappeared almost immediately.Lena stared at her wrist.Then at the tree.The symbol carved into its bark was glowing too.I felt something cold settle in my chest.“No.”Lena looked at me.“What?”I shook my head.“We shouldn't be here.”She stepped toward the tree.I caught her shoulder.“Don't.”Her eyes met mine.“You know what this is.”

AdrianI knew Lena was going to confront my father the moment she said she was going back.I just didn't expect her to walk into the mansion like she was going to war.She didn't say another word to me on the way back.She barely looked at me.That bothered me more than it should have.We crossed the academy grounds in silence.Lena walked several steps ahead.Her shoulders were tense.Her hands were curled into fists.She looked angry.But underneath the anger…she looked hurt.I understood why.If I had seen my dead father in a vision and he had warned me not to trust someone I loved, I'd probably feel the same.But there was something she didn't understand.My father wasn't a monster.At least…I had never believed he was.When we reached the mansion, the doors opened before we could touch them.A guard stepped aside.Lena didn't slow down.She walked straight inside.I followed.“Lena.”She stopped.I caught up with her.“Think before you do this.”She turned around.“Think about

Lena I didn't go back to my room after leaving the locked room. I went straight to my mother's bedroom. I didn't knock. I opened the door. She was standing beside the window, looking outside. The moment she saw me, her expression changed. “Lena?” I closed the door behind me. “We need to talk.” She stared at me. “About what?” “My father.” Her face went pale. I noticed. And suddenly, I knew. She knew something. Maybe more than Alexander. Maybe more than Adrian. Maybe she'd known everything all along. “You knew,” I whispered. My mother looked away. “Knew what?” “Don't.” My voice cracked. “Don't do that.” She turned toward me. “Lena—” “I found the room.” Silence. “The locked room in the eastern wing.” Her eyes widened. “You shouldn't have gone in there.” “Why?” She didn't answer. “I found photographs.” My hands trembled. “Dad and Alexander.” My mother closed her eyes. I stepped closer. “They knew each other.” She remained silent. “Before you marrie

Adrian“Don't touch her again.”My voice came out lower than I intended.Almost a growl.Evan didn't move.He simply looked at me.Then, slowly, his eyes narrowed.“I think you need to calm down.”My wolf surged.No.I took another step forward.“You heard me.”“I did.”“Then stay away from her.”Evan's jaw tightened.“You don't get to decide who she can talk to.”My fists clenched.“She doesn't know what you're doing.”“And you do?”His question stopped me for half a second.Evan glanced at Lena.Then back at me.“You've been avoiding her all day.”“That has nothing to do with you.”“It has everything to do with her.”“Don't pretend you care about her.”Evan laughed once.There was nothing amused about it.“You're one to talk.”My eyes narrowed.“What is that supposed to mean?”“It means you don't know what you're doing.”My wolf pushed against my control.I could feel the heat spreading through my body.“You have no idea what you're talking about.”“Actually, I know more than you th

LenaI couldn't stop thinking about my father.He disappeared to keep them from finding you.The elder's words kept replaying in my mind.Who were they?Why were they looking for me?And why had my father gone to such lengths to keep me hidden?I needed answers.And there was only one person I could think of who might have them.Evan.I found him behind the academy, sitting on the stone steps near the old training grounds.He was staring at the forest.He didn't notice me until I stopped in front of him.His eyes lifted.“Lena.”“We need to talk.”Something in my voice made him straighten.“About what?”“My father.”His expression changed.Only for a second.But I saw it.“You know something about him.”Evan looked away.“I don't know what you're talking about.”“Don't.”He looked back at me.“Don't what?”“Pretend.”His jaw tightened.“I’m not pretending.”“Yes, you are.”I crossed my arms.“You've known something about my father since the day we met.”“That isn't true.”“Then why di
