Alpha's Forced Mate Chapter 40 : A Fated Rescue
*Marcus*The hours passed in a whirlwind. I went back to the place where Arealla and Jason had been, taking Ben and Liana with me. But there was nothing to be found there.Liana had found traces of a wolf that wasn't part of our pack, but that was all that she had found. It was enough for her to make the assumption that Arealla had been taken.Given everything that Ben had learned, everything I had seen, there was nothing else that could be surmised.And yet.There had still been the niggling feeling at the back of my mind. What if she really had run away?But then the dream happened. And it slotted everything perfectly into place. It explained every single detail that I had been confused about, and it gave me a way forward.I was able to see her, and she was mine, in a way that I never thought could possibly happen. She glued the pieces of my fallen world and gave me sense, gave me reason. Having her the way we had only made me want to have her back in flesh with me.H
Alpha's Forced Mate Chapter 41 : Seeking a Healer
*Marcus*I didn't care what the Healer said. I didn't want to hear it.It was the first time that I felt that way. But Arealla had to recover. She had to get better. Which meant that I had to ignore the words she had just spoken. To accept it would be to give up, and there was no way that I would ever give up on Arealla.I glanced at her pale and bruised form. Her breathing was so shallow and sparse that it was barely there. Seeds of despair were already being planted by the thought that she would never be whole again.No! I refused to give in to my fears."Alpha?" the Healer asked.I had been silent for a while, my expression most likely pained and contorted. I took a deep breath and turned to the healer."Say I made contact with her pack. The one she had been born into. Would their healer perhaps know a way of restoring her to full health?" I asked.The Healer Trisha looked hesitant. This was all very new for her, too. She was used to having the answer, she was used t
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
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 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 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 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 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
