FORBIDDEN MATES Chapter Twenty-five: Tension in the room
Adira tried to be calm as her family and friends celebrated her and Jake's mateship, but she felt so uncomfortable inside that even Snow paced restlessly in her mind. It felt so wrong, the whole thing. Adira flew to her feet, unable to cope anymore with her guilt. Eyes turned to her, curious. The Alpha heir looked agitated, and everyone wanted to know what was bothering the young woman. “Honey, what is wrong?” Luna Grace asked the question, which echoed in everyone's mind. “I am fine, Mum.” Adira flashed a teeth grin at her mother that didn't reach her eyes. “But I need some fresh air.” Adira hurried out of the room before her mother or anyone else could say another word, leaving everyone glancing at each other, wondering what was wrong. Adira's friends all got serious about eating the food before them. None wanted anyone to ask them what was wrong with their friend as they couldn't answer. Jake got up as well and followed Adira out, further worsening everyone’

Adira blinked in shock when she saw the blood dripping down her sister's body. You are hurt! She exclaimed, running to her sister without a second thought. When she got to her, she bent toward the wound to inspect why it was bleeding. "What happened?" She asked worriedly, her slender fingers tracing the edges of the newly opened wound. Kendra flinched from the warm touch on her skin, not because she was in pain but because of the warmth that traveled over her body at Adira’s touch. Thinking her sister was in pain, Adira quickly withdrew her hand and stared up at her, her green eyes radiating warmth and concern. "Does it hurt?" She asked innocently, unaware of the battle raging within her sister as she fought to control her desire. Adira gasped audibly at the quick transformation of Kendra’s eyes. The blue orbs looked fiery and tinged with gold. It wasn't just Kendra anymore, but her wolf as well. The hunger she glimpsed in her sister’s eyes sparked a flame of desire between Adir

Kendra relaxed back on the bed like a cat lazing under the afternoon sun as she listened to her sister converse with their mother. “Where are you, Adira?” Luna Grace asked from the other side of the phone, her voice tinged with concern. Many eyes watched her intently, waiting to hear about the whereabouts of the Alpha family’s youngest. Knowing her whereabouts could provide insight as to where the other kids disappeared. Neither the Alpha youngest nor her friends could be found in the dinner set in her honor, and her parents are worried and keen to know where their offspring jetted off to. Adira stole another look at her eldest sister, wondering if the brunette cared if their mother knew where she was. They were actually in the middle of something, and Adira would like to get back to it. “I am fine, Mum, don't worry about me.” She ended the call before her mother could say another word. “Where is she?” Alpha Conor demanded as soon as his mate got off the phone.

Tonight is the mating ball; an annual festivity celebrated across all the werewolf Packs during which wolves who have come of age find their mates. Everyone is expected to grace this occasion, no exception. While everyone in the pack is over the moon with the approaching mating ball, Kendra is different. She makes it a point to miss the ball. She dreads the idea of being shackled by a mate. There is no room in her heart for love. All she thinks about is having her revenge, but a mate doesn't fit into her agenda. Twenty years ago, rogues killed Kendra’s family and Pack, and Kendra had dedicated most of her life to finding the rogue who took the life of her parents and getting her revenge. During the day, she works as a paralegal in a big law firm, and at night, she shades her clothes of justice and dons her hunting clothes, executing justice by herself. She hunts rogues at night in search of the one who stole everything from her, killing them mercilessly if they wouldn't

Adira is ecstatic about the mating ball tonight. It is been all that she and her girlfriends could talk about all week. Mating ball is a time when a werewolf finds the one he or she would be mated with for life, and Adira is holding her breath for this special someone. Having grown up watching her parents loving relationship, their deep affection for each other. How much her father adores and protects her mother, and how in turn she worships her father, Adira longs for the same thing for herself. Her father, though a very strict disciplinarian, is very affectionate, and deeply protective especially to the people he loves, and she wants someone like that. Basically, she is wishing that the moon goddess would grant her someone like her father. She has a boyfriend, Jake, who is the son of their Beta. She and Jake have been dating since their Sophomore year. Adira loves Jake so much because he reminds her of her father. He has her father’s strength, while also displaying his sens

Kendra felt precisely as her sister did—shock and a little bit of fear. Of everything she expected to happen tonight, finding her mate wasn’t one of them, least of all it being her sister. The Moon Goddess must have a cruel sense of humor. “Hello, little sister,” Kendra greeted, her tone measured as she took in Adira’s appearance. Oh, how she had grown. From the little girl who had once followed her around like a lost puppy to a woman—a striking one at that. Her sister had always been beautiful, but the young woman who stood before her now was breathtaking. This realization unsettled Kendra, and her heart thudded in her chest like a drumbeat. Adira stumbled past her initial shock when Kendra addressed her. Her emerald eyes narrowed as if trying to pierce through her older sister’s calm facade. Was she mocking her? Kendra, who had always kept her at arm’s length, now suddenly called her “sister.” “What are you doing here?” Adira demanded sharply, her voice trembling with anger

Jake stood like a protective shadow beside Adira, his broad frame stiffening at the mention of mates. His heart pounded with dread, an ache settling in his chest. He had meant every word when he’d told himself there was no one else for him except Adira. He had loved her since they were kids, a tender bond that had grown and deepened over the years. What had once been innocent childhood affection had transformed into a love so profound it frightened him. As the question about Adira’s mate hung in the air, Jake held his breath, his muscles coiled tight. He hadn’t found his mate yet, and, secretly, he was glad. It meant he didn’t have to wrestle with guilt for desiring Adira with every fiber of his being. When she finally answered, a tidal wave of relief crashed over him. The world felt brighter and lighter, like the moon was smiling down on him. He fought the urge to leap into the air and whoop joyfully, but he couldn’t contain the grin that broke across his face. “Hey, Jake, what’s
Last Updated : 2021-06-14FORBIDDEN MATES Chapter five: It is a trap
Kendra’s heart thundered against her chest, fueled by a tempest of emotions—anger, jealousy, disgust—swirling into a volatile storm as she stormed toward her car. This was what she wanted. It was what she’d told herself she wanted: for her sister to find someone worthy, someone better, and it didn’t get much better than the Beta’s son. Jake was polite, dependable, and annoyingly handsome—everything their Pack could hope for in a mate. She’d known him since he was a kid and watched him grow into a man. It would be him if she had to pick anyone for her sister. So why did she feel like ramming her fist through the nearest wall? Her jaw clenched as she yanked open the car door and slid behind the wheel. She slammed it shut with enough force to make the entire car shudder, then started the engine. The tires screeched as she sped off into the night, the engine's roar a poor mask for the roar inside her head. She wasn’t just trying to escape her feelings; she was fleeing them like a prey an

FORBIDDEN MATES Chapter Twenty-four: A party in their honor
Jake encountered his friends before he and his father got to the door. He excused himself from the beta to speak to his friends, who did the same with their families. “Do you know what this is all about?” Nate asked, slipping his hands into his pockets. Like Jake, he had a suit on, though he let the buttons of the red shirt under the black suit run free a few buttons down, exposing his neck tattoos. Night surrounded the friends; the only illumination was the stars littering the sky. Jake shook his head with a clueless expression. “Mum just told me to get dressed and that we are having dinner here.” he shrugged his broad shoulders. As they talked, Meredith drove in and parked beside the other cars in front of the Pack House. She stepped down from the car and walked toward the boys in heels. She has yet to notice them, but the boys did. Nate stiffened at the sight of Meredith, which didn't escape the notice of his friends. “Dude, what is going on between you two?” Dylan
FORBIDDEN MATES Chapter Twenty-three: A New Friend in the Park
Nate slipped the phone back into his phone and let out a tired sigh. He didn't want to deal with his friends, especially her. He took a step to continue his work, only to run into someone. He reacted quickly and caught the person before they could fall. He started to apologize even before he knew who he held. “I am so…” Nate stopped abruptly when he saw a pair of twinkling green eyes belonging to a stunning face with a crown of gorgeous red hair. He lost his train of thought, which the red hair in his arms found amusing. "Are you gonna let me go?" she teased, a beautiful smile playing across her lips. Nate’s face assumed the same color as his hair. “Of course,” he said shyly, letting the girl go like she was hot. She is hot—something every part of Nate acknowledges. The girl exudes unwavering confidence and seems to find Nate attractive as well. “Gloria.” she stretched her hand to Nate. “N-Nate,” Nate stammered, shaking the girl’s hand while kicking himself inside for ac
FORBIDDEN MATES Chapter Twenty-two: You messed up
Outside her sister's room, Adira rested against the wall, her head raised, her eyes closed as she blinked back the tears that filled her eyes. She won’t cry, she thought strongly, her fingers folding into a fist. She gave herself a few seconds to gather her composure, then leaned off the wall and headed toward the lift, determined to forget what happened in her sister’s room. Jake paced like a caged animal as he and his friends waited for Adira to join them. Dylan sat at the driver’s side, the door open, his feet outside, and his ears plugged, his attention flicking between his pacing best friend and his phone. He tried to get Jake to calm down, but Jake ignored him like he was invisible. The dark boy is worried about the repercussions of his actions, and no matter how often he tells himself that Adira is not mad, he feels double the amount he is deluding himself. He might be a foot taller than the blonde, but the blonde, when angry, scares the shit out of him, and he is
FORBIDDEN MATES Chapter twenty-one: Couldn't resist
The tension in the room was so palpable that a knife could cut through it. As Danny waited for the Alpha wolf to take the phone from his hand, he flicked a glance at his best friend to see how he was doing. The poor boy was almost purple, causing Danny to wince in sympathy, his expression crunching slightly. Trix let the blonde boy’s hand hang in the air for a few minutes longer, relishing the palpable tension. She has to teach the young wolves not to mess with her or her human again. Then she reached for the phone. “Hello,” she growled into the phone. Adira froze at the sound of her mate’s voice. “Trix,” she muttered in a low tone, her voice trembling slightly. Trix closed her eyes at her mate’s sweet voice whispering her name. A shiver ran down her spine, but she kept silent, waiting for her mate to speak. “Please, put him down,” Adira pleaded, her tone thick from the emotion clogging her throat at speaking to her mate’s wolf. Trix didn't speak immediately but
FORBIDDEN MATES Chapter Twenty: She is going to kill him
Jake stilled, his vision red with rage. He glared at the older woman, suspicion creeping into his mind like a slow poison. Did she know that Adira wasn’t his mate? She couldn’t have. Adira wouldn’t have had time to tell her, and he was certain they weren’t close enough to share such a personal revelation. Yet, something in Kendra’s gaze unsettled him, like she held a secret he wasn’t privy to. Jake decided in that moment—one born from instinct and desperation. He would claim the blonde. They were already pretending to be mates for the Pack; what was one more person believing the lie? He straightened to his full height, forcing his expression into unwavering confidence. A smirk curled his lips, his voice laced with certainty. “And that is where you are wrong. Adira is my mate,” he declared boldly and possessively, as if saying it aloud would solidify the truth in the fabric of reality. Kendra’s entire being recoiled at the claim. Her wolf snarled a sound that remained locked be
FORBIDDEN MATES Chapter Nineteen: You are not her mate
Let’s go,” Meredith snapped at Nate, her voice sharp with urgency as she moved toward the door, not sparing him a backward glance. She had to get to Jake—before their friend did something he would regret.It seemed that whenever their blonde friend was involved, their usually level-headed boy lost all ounces of rationality.Nate hesitated, blinking at Meredith in confusion. He wasn’t ready to leave just yet—hadn’t even processed what was happening—but the blonde was already halfway to the door, leaving him with no choice but to follow.He had to jog to keep up because, despite the heels on her feet, Meredith moved with the intensity of someone in a high-speed chase.“Hey, what is wrong?” Nate demanded when he finally caught up with her.Meredith didn’t slow down or acknowledge him beyond a clipped response, her voice tight with urgency.“We need to get to Jake before he does something stupid.”At the mention of their dark-haired friend, Nate’s jaw tightened, his fists clenching involu
