All Chapters of The Alpha Prince Forbidden Mate : Chapter 71 - Chapter 77

LenaSomething had changed.I knew it the moment the warmth of Adrian's presence faded through the bond.Only moments ago, I had felt him clearly—distant, but close enough for me to know he was safe. Then something had pulsed between us, powerful enough to make my entire body tense.I looked down at my wrist.The silver mark was glowing.Not brightly, but enough to make the skin around it shimmer beneath the corridor's dim lights.My breath caught."Adrian?"There was no answer.I closed my eyes and reached for him through the bond.There.A faint thread of warmth remained.He was still there.But beneath that familiar connection was something else.A strange sensation tugged at me, almost like the bond itself was pointing toward something I was supposed to find.I opened my eyes.The pull led farther down the eastern corridor.I didn't understand why, but I followed it.The deeper I walked, the warmer my wrist became.Then I stopped.An old stone wall stood ahead of me.I'd passed it

LenaI couldn't stop thinking about what Evan had told me.I knew your father.The words followed me through every corridor of Mooncrest.They followed me when I left the eastern wing.They followed me when I sat beside my mother and pretended I was listening to her.They followed me when Adrian returned from the ceremony and asked if I was all right.I wasn't.Not even close.There were too many secrets now.Too many people who knew pieces of my life that I had never been told.Daniel.Alexander.Evan.The Lunar Order.Even Adrian's family seemed to know more than they were willing to say.And every answer I found only opened another question.I stood alone near one of Mooncrest's older courtyards, staring at the moonlight spilling across the stone floor.My wrist still burned faintly beneath my sleeve.The mark hadn't stopped reacting since the ceremony.I rubbed my thumb over it."Why me?" I whispered.The question disappeared into the night.Then I heard footsteps.I turned.No on

AdrianThe scream reached me before the alarm did.I was walking across the northern courtyard when several windows on the second floor shattered at once.Glass rained onto the stone below.Students screamed.Then the emergency bell began to ring.Once.Twice.Again and again.My entire body went still.The sound wasn't a drill.Something was wrong.Very wrong.Then a guard came running across the courtyard."Prince Adrian!"I turned."What happened?"His breathing was ragged."We've been attacked."My wolf immediately rose."By who?"The guard looked toward the main entrance."The Lunar Order."Everything inside me went cold."No.""They're already inside."I didn't wait for another word.I ran.The courtyard had become chaos.Students were rushing toward the academy buildings while guards tried to organize them.Teachers were shouting instructions.Some students were crying.Others stood frozen, unable to understand what was happening.Then I saw them.Masked figures moving through

Adrian“I was afraid of what might happen to Mia if we were too late.”Lena’s words stayed with me long after she spoke them.She stood beside me, gripping Mia’s bracelet as if it were the only thing keeping her steady. Her eyes were fixed on the burning academy, but I could see the fear beneath her determination.She was afraid for her friend.So was I.But I couldn't allow that fear to make my decisions for me.Not anymore.Behind us, the healers continued treating the wounded. Guards moved through the courtyard, organizing the remaining students and searching the damaged buildings. The Council stood nearby, speaking in low voices while the flames continued to consume parts of Mooncrest.And my father sat against the wall, too injured to stand without assistance.I looked at him.“Father, you need to let the healers treat you properly.”Alexander raised his eyes to mine.“I know my condition.”“Then stop trying to stand.”For a moment, he looked as though he intended to argue. Then
