Alpha's Forced Mate Chapter 32 : No One Will Hear You Scream
*Arealla*I didn't think. I didn't have time to. I just turned away from him and started to run. But I didn't take more than three steps, when I realized that he wasn't following me. And a moment later I saw why.Three wolves stepped out of the trees in front of me, all snarling. The trees were dark and black behind them, and I was sure that I heard more snarling coming from there.They were huge. Not bigger than Marcus, but bigger than Jason in his wolf form.I grounded myself to a halt. My first instinct was to shift as well, but there was no time, and it wouldn't do any good.There were three of them, four with Jason. And there was no way that I could do anything.I opened my mouth to scream, knowing that even if I did, there was a good chance that no one was going to hear me anyway. But I didn't even get the chance. In a moment, Jason was behind me, and his hand covered my mouth.I struggled against him, kicking and screaming, but it was useless. I was no match for hi

*Arealla*"Maybe," Jason allowed, calming down a little, a smile still on his face. "Maybe before. But he saw us together, sitting naked on the banks of a river. He thinks that we were kissing. He'll be fed a lie that we ran off together, and he will believe it." My first instinct was to call him a liar. Marcus wouldn't have just believed that I ran off with him.But then I thought about what he was saying, really thought about it. Would Marcus just know that I wasn't going to run away from him now? Would he really know that? How many times had I said to Marcus myself that I wanted nothing more to do with him, that I wanted to leave?And how many times had I told him that I wanted to stay?The answer wasn't comparative. There was a good chance that Marcus would believe I would leave.But would he accept that I would run away with Jason?Maybe not if this had been the first time that he had seen us together. Maybe then he would have had second thoughts about just believin

*Arealla*I felt the moonlight getting stronger as it encompassed my skin entirely. It was like a force coming over me, and I couldn't help but surrender to it.But I didn't fear it; it felt warm and comforting, exactly what I needed in the dark and foreboding dampness of the cave. I collapsed on the floor of the cell. But I didn't feel myself collapsing. I felt myself lifting, waking up again.And then there was blackness, a total nothing.And then I was awake.I stared around me. I was standing upright in the most beautiful forest that I had ever seen. There were evergreen trees everywhere, the floor a soft forest carpet. I also felt energized; I could stand forever and never get bored or tired.There was no doubt in my mind that I was in some place filled with magic, deep and ancient.I could feel it in the air around me.I was dreaming, and I wasn't, all at the same time. This was happening in my head, and it was real. It was almost impossible, and I knew that

*Arealla*Marcus looked at me confused for a moment, almost like he couldn't trust what he was seeing. And almost like what I said made little sense to him.I couldn't be sure entirely what he was thinking. I wasn't the Moon Goddess. I couldn't read thoughts the way she could.Though there was no doubt in me that I had some of the gifts of the Moon Goddess in me. There was no doubt that more than just some of her power flowed through me now.But I still wasn't her."I've seen you before," he whispered, unsure of his own words.I could feel the warmth of his skin through my palm. I could smell his scent, as wild as the forest. I could smell his strength.There was the difference between us. I could tell my own scent now, too. I smelled like moonlight, but he smelled like the forest. His scent was strength itself, and mine was calming.It was a strange awakening. But it was an awakening.I was sure that I would be able to smell when someone was lying or telling the trut
Last Updated : 2023-07-01Alpha's Forced Mate Chapter 36 : In the Moon Sleep
*Arealla*Marcus and I lay on the bed, still joined as one, long after we had spent ourselves with each other.I wanted nothing more than to just stay with Marcus like that forever. But it wasn't possible. We weren't safe. We still had to wake; we still had to escape Jason and whatever he was planning. Even though Jason had me locked in a cell, it was the both of us that he held captive.But Marcus didn't know everything yet, and I supposed that the time had arrived for me to tell him what had happened to me."It was Jason," I told Marcus. "He took me."My voice was soft as I spoke, and it surprised me a little. I had thought that I would be louder and clearer than this.But I also understood where my reticence was coming from. Where my fear was coming from.It wasn't just that Jason had me in a cave locked up somewhere. It was also that he had tricked me. That I had trusted him, and I had trusted him more than once. But each time he had shown me who he really was, and I

*Arealla*I trusted Marcus' words, and I placed my head on his chest. It wouldn't be long now, and then all of this would fade. But I trusted that he would find his way to me again.I closed my eyes, listening to his heartbeat. I knew I had to sleep here, in the Moon sleep, and then I would wake in the real world.I felt my eyelids growing heavy, I couldn't open them now if I tried. Marcus was still speaking when I fell asleep, his words soothing me.Then I woke from the Moon sleep, and instantly, I wished that I could somehow go right back into it.I had been with Marcus. I had felt invincible. My power had been at my touch, my wolf had been at my side, and my mate and I had been one.But now that I had awoken, none of that was my reality any longer.And I awoke to find Jason leering over me, his face twisted in anger and hatred.I didn't think, I didn't even pause. I just reacted.I lashed out at him, my claws lengthening and protruding as I slashed, and I felt his

*Arealla*Cold. Dark. Damp. A musty smell filled the air and the sound of dripping water echoed relentlessly in my cell. A "cell" was too good of a word to describe the place where Jason had me chained up like an animal. It was more of a cave that had been slightly altered to suit my captor's needs.I coughed. The chains rattled and the metal cuffs cut through my already raw wrists, it drew a small amount of blood. The lack of food and water kept me from healing. How long had I been here? I had lost count of the hours. Dehydration was not working well for my cognition.Jason had meant what he'd said when he told them not to give me anything. I hadn't so much as had a drink of water since they brought me in here. And I knew that at least two nights had passed already.It might be longer, but I couldn't tell. I was starting to see black dots across my vision, and I knew it was dehydration but I had no idea how bad it was.I was not even sure what I was feeling anymore. It ha

*Marcus*The dream ended, and I awoke with a start.I almost couldn't believe what had just happened. But it made everything fit so perfectly into place. Everything that had happened these past few hours. Arealla had not left me.***-Flashback-I turned away from them and headed straight back to the house. There was no way that I could get the image out of my head. No matter what I did, all I could see was Arealla sitting on the bank of the river, naked. And Jason sitting beside her, leaning in toward her.I reached our home, and I went through the front door. I didn't make it further than the living room, and I collapsed on the couch. I put my head in my hand, and tried to force myself to calm down.There was more to it than this. There had to be.But what else could it have been?The last time I had let my mind jump to conclusions, but how was it possible for me to come to any other conclusions right now?I had seen her sitting naked with him on the riverbank.

*Arealla*The month passed slowly. But it did pass.The time without Marcus had been nothing less than torture. And what was worse was that it was by my own hand and his decision. But while it made it worse, it was also the only thing that kept me sane. We could go back to each other at any time we wished.I could go back to the Dark Moon. Or he could come here. Well, he probably couldn't come here. They would very likely kill him for setting foot on our land. But there was a great chance that he could just come to the edge of the border and someone would come and tell us that he was there.I trusted that they wouldn't just kill my mate at the border.Though, I had to prepare myself in case it happened. I would go insane, I knew that much. From the countless times Marcus had tried to make me understand everything, back when we thought that I was just a mere human.I would go insane. But I wouldn't allow myself to hurt anyone. Other than the ones that hurt him. And then it w
Alpha's Forced Mate Chapter 49 : The First Step Toward Peace
*Arealla*I stared at him as he spoke. I had never once seen his expression so open, it was like I was staring at his heart."I want nothing more than to just keep you here with me," Marcus said again. "I want to keep you safe so that nothing happens to you, so that you are never in need of any of them healing you. I want to give you everything that I have to offer. I want to keep you a part of this pack."Marcus spoke easily, and I could hear the truth of his words."But that would not make either of us happy," he said again, shaking his head. "We would come to regret what we had done. I am Alpha, and you are Luna. Our pack needs us. Both of our packs. They are fractured into two pieces, but they are one. And we have the chance now to fix it, to make it whole again. And if we turn away from this now, then we will blame ourselves and each other for the rest of our lives."I knew that he was speaking the truth, it was just that it was too hard to have to accept right now. Marc
Alpha's Forced Mate Chapter 48 : I Don't Want You to Go
*Arealla*"What is the third option?" I asked Marcus.Because I knew him. I knew that there had to be something that made sense. There was no way that Marcus was going to put impossible choices in front of me. And definitely not ones where I just died either way.Marcus took a deep breath. And I knew that I wasn't going to like what he had to say."Go back with them," Marcus started to say."Marcus!" I threw my hands up in the air as I spun away from him. "What part of that makes sense?"It was the same thing as option number two. And it meant that we would both just be in excruciating pain. It meant that we would just suffer.Not to mention, it was the exact thing that I just didn't want to do. I didn't want to go back with them, I didn't want to go back to the Crystal Mist. And who would?If I went back with them, it meant that I would have to go back to the people that had just thrown me away. And I would have to forsake the ones that had taken me in. And that just w
Alpha's Forced Mate Chapter 47 : Separated Mates
*Arealla*I turned to Marcus. I would give him the few minutes that he asked for, but there was nothing that he could say that would make me change my mind.These wolves had thrown me away. They had so many options, so many choices before them. And they had chosen to just give me away to a random human.They could have given me to Marcus' parents. They could have at least tried to get my wolf back. But they didn't. They wouldn't. They would rather have made their daughter an orphan, surrender her to the humans, than do anything that might seem like it was giving in to their enemy.Not even for their daughter's life.There was nothing that Marcus could say that would make me overlook that. I would move the earth for him. But I wouldn't go back to them. Not after the Moon Goddess had guided me to him, and brought me back to the Dark Moon despite all of Vanessa and Thibault's efforts to separate me from him and the pack.I would tell Marcus all of that, and I would say it befo
Alpha's Forced Mate Chapter 46 : From Wolf to Human
*Arealla*My mother's story was sad, and I truly felt for her. But it wasn't everything. She was keeping some things back, and I wasn't ready to let that happen. I had been waiting for so long to hear the truth of everything, I wasn't about to accept any half-hearted truths right now."Okay," I told her while still sitting on the bed beneath the moon. "But how did I end up with Lucille?"I didn't share any exact details about anything Lucille had told me about my origin. I wanted to see if the stories matched, and I didn't want to give Vanessa anything that she would be able to use to fill in any of the blanks."That part of the story is still a ways off," Vanessa answered, and I could tell that part of what she was telling was absolutely the truth. "And there is so much to tell before that."And then she turned away from me, looking into the distance of the horizon, where the dark earth met the black sky.Vanessa didn't speak immediately again, but none of us pushed her. W
Alpha's Forced Mate Chapter 45 : The Mate Bond
*Arealla*The world was jarring, after being in the Moon Sleep for so long. The Goddess had come to me again. This time, she had stayed so very long. She wouldn't say if I would survive or not, and I don't think it was because she hadn't known. I think it was because she had wanted to give me the chance to see for myself.But she had answered more than a few of my questions. Especially those about myself, and where I came from.I should have gone to the Moon that much sooner.But now she was gone, and I was staring up at the woman that was my mother.I pushed myself into a sitting position, with Marcus cautiously helping me. But I didn't need the help. I knew that I had been dying, that I had been weaker. But everything was different now. I could feel my mother's blood coursing through my veins. It was like liquid gold, healing and spinning everything into place.Once I was sitting, I regarded my mother. She looked so much like me. We had the same eyes, the same lips, the s
Alpha's Forced Mate Chapter 44 : Power of the Moon
*Marcus*"Follow me," I told her. There was no need for any further arguments or discussions, and there was no time.I had no idea how long it would be before Arealla would succumb to her wounds. So we moved quickly to the room that she was being kept in.I entered first and turned to watch as Vanessa came into the room. I wanted to see what her reaction would be, and I wondered if I would be able to gauge any new knowledge from that.But even as Vanessa entered the room and went straight to Arealla's side, nothing in her face changed. And I learned nothing new.The woman regarded Arealla silently for a moment before speaking."It's poison," Vanessa said, looking down at her daughter. "Someone has poisoned her, I'm not sure that I could say what the poison even is, but it looks painful. She will die from it if she isn't given the antidote."I pursed my lips. That was something that every single wolf knew. That was what I had delivered in the message. The woman had been st
Alpha's Forced Mate Chapter 43 : She Might Kill Her
*Marcus*The woman still kept her hood covering her face. Her cloak was dark green and heavy, the kind that would be good enough to sleep on, the kind that would protect the wearer through everything.It was little more than an accessory, given that we were wolves, and impervious to all of those things either way.She didn't want to show her face.I had seen her before, but years ago, when I had still been a child. And I didn't remember her, but even if I had, I doubted that it would help in any way. She had probably changed since then. We all had.She spoke very little, and even when she spoke, she acknowledged nothing and gave nothing away."I have not summoned you," I told her simply, denying her words and the implied meaning. "I sent a request to every Alpha and Luna from every pack. And with that request, there was a condition. The same condition that is attached for breaking treaty, for entering pack lands unwarranted. A simple request and simple condition, in our wor
Alpha's Forced Mate Chapter 42 : Where Does She Belong?
*Marcus*The notice was prepared almost immediately, with Ben overseeing its creation. But sending it out was proving to be more difficult than its writing. It wasn't such a simple matter of just dispatching the letter.Our pack lands had borders, and between the borders were no man's lands, places where no pack laid claim to and no wolf lived in. It was the safest way for the packs to exist since it limited fighting between the packs. It was the way that we had done it always, and it had always protected us.But it also made communication harder. Almost impossible.And some packs were worse than others.But we still tried. I would try every possible avenue to save my mate.We took heralds to the borders of every pack territory that we could reach. Thankfully, we didn't have to cross into any pack's territory to reach any other pack, that would have been a nightmare in and of itself, and I had no solution to that. It wasn't something that we had to encounter. The Dark Road
