RAIDEN’S POV

The weight of the decision had settled in my chest long before I spoke the words aloud.

I had spent the past two days pacing, thinking, running through every possible outcome, every consequence, every expectation that would come with taking the Alpha title. I had played out the worst of it—becoming my father, ruling with fear, letting the power twist me into something unrecognizable.

But then I remembered Eliana’s voice.

“You are not your father, Raiden. You never were.”

She had looked at me as if she truly believed it. As if she had already seen the kind of Alpha I could be, long before I could even accept it myself.

And so, as I stood before the Elders, my voice did not shake.

“I’m ready.”

Elder Vaughn’s sharp gaze flickered with something unreadable. “You’ve made your decision?”

“Yes.” I exhaled. “I will take the title of Alpha.”

Silence stretched across the dimly lit chamber. The Elders, the oldest and wisest of our kind, exchanged glances. I could feel the shift i

    ELIANA’S POVI sat by the window, my fingers curled tightly around the thick fabric of my robe, my gaze distant as the soft glow of dawn painted the sky in muted shades of gold and gray. The room felt suffocating, the silence pressing against my ribs like an unbearable weight. Two days. Two whole days had passed, and Callum was still gone.At first, I thought he was bluffing. Just another one of his fits, another display of anger that would eventually simmer down. But as the hours stretched into days, the realization settled deep into my bones. He wasn’t coming back. Malcolm had barely spoken a word to us since that morning. His silence was sharp, cutting deeper than any insult or outburst ever could. He didn’t even look at me. The only person who still acknowledged my existence was Mrs. Astrid, and even she treaded carefully, her visits were short and filled with quiet, hesitant concern.I could barely eat.Every time I tried, my stomach turned, revolting against the mere thought of

  • FORSAKEN BY FATE : EMBRACE BY WOLVES   Chapter 153: The Weight of an Alpha

    ELIANA’S POVThe council chamber was suffocating. A place meant for diplomacy, for order, had become a battlefield where my very existence was debated like a failed policy. The elders sat around the long oak table, their aged faces lined with skepticism, their sharp eyes dissecting my every word, my every breath.It’s been two months since my coronation as Alpha and my sham marriage to Asher—two months of torture, two months of mockery, two months of being bullied by the same pack that persuaded me to be their Alpha. Two months of being away from Reed, two months of being in a loveless marriage with Asher. Today just like every other day was going to be another day to be bullied by the Elders of my so-called packs. I had come prepared. I had studied the reports, memorized the numbers, and anticipated their arguments. I had done everything an Alpha should. But it didn’t matter. It never did. “The allocation for the western border patrols needs to increase,” I stated firmly, my hands

    ASHER’S POVI hadn’t looked Eliana in the eye in two months. Not because I was angry with her. Not because she had done anything wrong. But because I didn’t know who I was when I looked at her. The love I once thought I had—the devotion, the silent ache of wanting her—had faded into something I couldn’t quite name ever since she told me that she could never love me. It wasn’t resentment. It wasn’t guilt. It was just… nothing.And nothing was dangerous.I sat at the edge of my bed, elbows on my knees, hands clasped together as I stared at the floor. The apartment was silent save for the faint ticking of the clock in the hallway. It was a good place, spacious, well-furnished, a symbol of my wealth and status. But it was empty. Just like me. Eliana’s absence should have made it easier. The distance, the separate lives, the unspoken understanding that we were bound only by duty and not by choice—it should have freed me. So why did I still feel trapped? I exhaled sharply, rubbing a h

    ELIANA’S POVI was drowning. Not in water, not in something as merciful as that. No, I was drowning in expectations, in whispers, in the weight of a life I never asked for.I sat on the edge of my bed, staring at nothing, the walls of my room pressing in on me. The air felt thick, heavy, like it was suffocating me. My hands trembled in my lap, my nails digging into my palms, but I barely felt the pain.It was always like this now. The pressure. The suffocating weight of their eyes, their judgement.Alpha.The title meant nothing when the ones I was meant to lead despised me. They didn’t say it to my face, not most of them. But I could hear it in their voices, in the way their gazes shifted when I walked into a room, in the silence that followed me like a shadow.Prostitute.They didn’t need to say it for me to hear it. I squeezed my eyes shut, willing the sting behind them to go away, but it didn’t. It never did. They had already decided what I was. What I had done. No matter how

    REED’S POVThere was nothing.No sound, no light, no scent. Just an endless void stretching beyond what my mind could comprehend.For what felt like moments—maybe hours, maybe seconds—I drifted, weightless and detached. My body, my name, my pain… all of it was distant, like a memory I couldn’t quite grasp.But I wasn’t alone.I couldn’t see them, couldn’t touch them, but I felt them. The presence of my parents surrounded me, their warmth pressing against me like a shield, like the way the sun kissed my skin on cold mornings.“Reed,” my mother’s voice came first, gentle yet firm. I turned, searching for her, but there was nothing. Just the vast, unending emptiness. “You’ve wandered long enough,” my father’s voice followed, steady and commanding, like the Alpha he had been in life. “I—” My own voice startled me. It felt unfamiliar, raw. I didn’t know what I wanted to say. “You were not meant to stay here, son,” my mother continued. “Not yet.” I wanted to ask why. If this was death,

    ELIANA’S POVI woke to pain.It had become my closest companion, curling itself around me like a lover in the dark. A dull ache that never truly left, a sharp twist in my abdomen that stole my breath every time I moved too fast. I lay there, staring at the ceiling, the morning light streaming in through the curtains, taunting me with its warmth. Outside, the world continued. The pack moved. Life went on.But for me, there was nothing.I pressed my hand to my swollen stomach, feeling the slight flutter of movement beneath my palm. It should have made me feel something—love, warmth, hope.I felt nothing. Maybe because I knew no one else cared. No one came to check on me. No one brought me food or made sure I had slept. I had become an outcast within my own pack, the very people I had bled for now looking at me like I was a disease they wished would vanish. I wasn’t sure how much more of this I could take. A knock at the door. Soft. Hesitant.“Alpha Eliana?” A servant. I barely re

    ASHER’S POV I hadn’t planned on seeing her today. Not because I didn’t want to, but because it had been months, and every time I thought of her, guilt curled around my throat like a noose.Four months since the wedding. Two months since I last laid eyes on her. And in that time, I had let myself believe the lies my sources told me. That she was coping. That she was handling things in her own way. That she didn’t need me. But something pulled me toward the Pack today, not only the Pack but the Alpha’s quarters. A whisper of instinct, or maybe the part of me that had never really stopped watching over her. I never made it to her door. Because I saw him. Ronan. He was running like a man fleeing from his own sins, his face pale, his body tense. He didn’t even notice me standing there, didn’t acknowledge the way my eyes followed him, tracked him. I knew then. Something was wrong. I didn’t stop him. Didn’t ask questions. He wouldn’t have answered me anyway. Instead, I moved towar

    REED’S POVThey looked like the perfect couple. Asher standing beside her, his hand half-raised as if he had been about to reach for her. Eliana, dressed in a loose nightgown, her dark hair tumbling over her shoulders, her lips parted in shock. They stood close—too close. Close enough that a blind man would have seen what they were. What they had become in my absence. Heat burned under my skin.I had spent four months in the dark. Four months floating between life and death, my body trapped in an endless nightmare while the world moved on without me. I had thought of her. I had dreamed of her. And I had told myself that when I woke up, I would find her waiting for me. But Malcolm had found me first. He had sat beside my bed and told me the truth in a voice devoid of emotion. Asher and Eliana. Together. That they had found them in bed, that she had been naked, that Asher had confessed his love for her and then married her. And that when the truth came out—when it was clear that sh

    FOUR MONTHS LATERThe morning sun streamed through the sheer white curtains, casting a golden glow over the grand dining hall. The long wooden table was set with an elaborate spread—pancakes drizzled with honey, fresh berries, and a steaming pot of coffee. The scent of roasted bacon and buttered toast wafted through the air, making my stomach grumble in anticipation. I leaned back in my chair, rubbing my swollen belly as I listened to the chatter around me. It had been four months since everything changed—four months since I had finally found my place, my home, my family. Reed sat to my right, his hand lazily tracing circles on my wrist as he spoke with Callum and Asher. My husband. The words still felt surreal, as if saying them would wake me from a dream. The mate bond between us had only grown stronger since our wedding, the kind of connection I once thought I would never have. “Callum can you please hand her another plate, it’s been five minutes since she asked for it,” Reed bl

    ELIANA’S POVThe first thing I felt was warmth.Not the suffocating heat of fear or the numbing cold of rejection—just a steady, comforting warmth. It wrapped around my hand, grounding me before my mind could even piece together where I was.Slowly, I forced my eyes open.Blurry. Unfocused. The light overhead was too bright, making me wince. I blinked rapidly, willing my vision to adjust.Where am I? The ceiling above me was a bit familiar. The room smelled different, too—clean, with a faint hint of something I couldn’t quite place. Not the musky, indifferent scent of the packhouse I had come to despise. Then where…?And then it hit me. The pain. The sharp, unbearable pain that had gripped my body before I collapsed. My breath hitched as the memories flooded back—the searing agony, my vision darkening at the edges, the sound of my name being called in panic. Reed. Asher. My hand shot to my stomach. Still round. Still full. A shuddering breath escaped me. My baby. My baby was s

    MALCOLM’S POVThe air in the room was suffocating.Not because of the space—we had more than enough of that in this damn house—but because of the weight of everything pressing down on us. The truth. The guilt. The realization that we had shattered something that could never fully be put back together.Callum and I talked on the way back home, but nothing could’ve prepared us for what we were walking into. Eliana was upstairs, unconscious. Reed had carried her in like she was the most precious thing in the world, like losing her would rip his soul apart. And it would.Because of us.Because we had believed what we wanted to believe. Because we had ignored the truth. Because we had taken the pieces of a story that suited our anger and ran with it—dragging Reed down with us. And now? Now, all we could do was sit in this damn living room, suffocating in our own regret while Asher paced like a man on the verge of shattering. His hands ran through his hair, gripping at the strands. His

    REED’S POVI didn’t think. I didn’t hesitate. I didn’t wait for permission. The moment I saw her—Eliana, crumpled in the doorway, her body trembling, her skin pale and damp with sweat—everything else ceased to exist.I was at her side before my mind could even catch up, scooping her into my arms. She was so light. Too light.Her breath was uneven, shallow, her body barely responding.“Asher,” I barked, my voice tight with urgency. “We’re taking her out here.”He was already ahead of me, moving fast, clearing the way as I carried her through the castle halls. I didn’t care about the whispers, the wide eyes of pack members watching us go. I didn’t give a damn about their judgment or their curiosity. They had failed her. They had stood by while she was beaten, humiliated, starved. And now, she was barely clinging to life because of them. I would not fail her too. We reached the car, and I slid into the backseat with her cradled against me. Her head lolled against my chest, her face

    ELIANA’S POVPain.It started as a dull ache, twisting deep in my stomach. I barely noticed it at first. My body had endured so much these past months—hunger, exhaustion, bruises, the sharp sting of words meant to break me. What was one more pain added to the pile?I thought maybe it was the weight of my dress, the heavy fabric pressing against my skin. That had to be it.I forced myself to stand, my fingers trembling as I reached for the laces of the gown. Each breath I took felt shallow, strained, but I ignored it. I just needed to change. Get comfortable. Then the pain would go away. I peeled off the dress, my breath catching as the cool air kissed my overheated skin. My body ached everywhere, my muscles screaming in protest. Slowly, I slipped into a loose gown, something softer, something that didn’t suffocate me. But the pain didn’t stop. I pressed a hand to my stomach. My heart pounded against my ribs. This was different. A sharp, searing pain shot through me, knocking the

    REED’S POVI didn’t know what to do.My body felt too heavy, my mind too loud. I wanted to scream, to rip at my skin until I felt something other than this suffocating regret. But nothing would change. No matter how much I hurt, no matter how much I wanted to turn back time, I couldn’t undo what I’d done.She hated me.I’d called her a whore.I’d let my rage speak louder than reason, and now I had lost her in a way that I wasn’t sure I could ever fix. Eliana had always been strong, but the woman I had just seen—this new version of her—she was unshakable. And I had pushed her there. I had driven her to the point where she didn’t just refuse to listen to me; she didn’t even care to. I pressed my hands against my face, dragging them down slowly. My chest burned, and the weight in my throat grew unbearable. I tried to swallow it down, but it rose like bile, hot and acidic. I sucked in a sharp breath, but it didn’t help. Then, before I could stop it, my vision blurred. A warm line of w

    ELIANA’S POVThe dress felt heavier than it should have.Silk, soft against my skin, clean, free of blood—yet I still felt stained.I adjusted the cuffs of my sleeves as I walked down the corridor leading to the Grand Hall, my heels clicking against the polished floor. The path felt longer than usual, the air thick with tension, but I kept my head high. There would be no sign of weakness tonight.The investors were waiting. So was Ronan. My godforsaken Beta.The doors to the Grand Hall were already open when I arrived. The room was grand, high ceilings adorned with golden chandeliers, the long table in the center lined with crisp documents, and men and women dressed in sharp suits. Humans. Our potential business partners. My people were gathered too. The elders, the council, warriors standing at the edges like silent shadows. Asher was seated at one end, his expression unreadable. Raiden was on the opposite side, his arms crossed, eyes trained on me the second I entered. And then

    ASHER’S POVI was losing my mind.Hours had passed since she walked out, and no one knew where the hell she was.I should have stopped her. I should have gone after her the second she stepped out with that bloodied gown clinging to her like a second skin. But I hadn’t. I’d been too stunned, too fucking caught up in my own emotions to move. Now, she was out there—alone, hurt, and wearing the same damn nightgown she almost died in. My hands curled into fists as I stormed across the main hall. Every available pack member was searching for her. Even Ronan, despite his silence, was out there looking. The elders were restless. Not because they cared about her, but because of the investors meeting. “Find her, now,” one of them growled at the warriors. “We cannot afford to miss this deal over one reckless woman.” I clenched my jaw. She wasn’t just a woman. She was their Alpha. My wife. Or at least, she had been. And they still spoke about her like she was nothing. I exhaled sharply, s

    CALLUM POV The sheets were soft. The woman beneath me, softer. She moaned against my mouth, her fingers tangled in my hair as her bare thighs tightened around my waist. I smirked, trailing kisses down the curve of her throat, my hands gliding over smooth, warm skin. “You’re insatiable,” she purred, her nails dragging lightly over my shoulders. I chuckled. “And you love it.” She didn’t argue. My lips traced down her collarbone, my fingers dipping lower when— Knock. Knock. Knock. I froze. The woman beneath me let out an irritated groan. “Ignore it.” I wanted to. Fuck, I really wanted to. But whoever was at the door was persistent. Knock. Knock. Knock.I clenched my jaw, pressing my forehead against hers with an exhausted sigh.“This better be good,” I muttered. Then, raising my voice, I barked, “Who the fuck is that?” There was a pause before a familiar voice answered. “It’s me, sir.” I sighed again. Benson. My butler. The man had impeccable timing. “What do you want?”
