Her Forgotten Mate Chapter 41: Discussions
James didn't get to speak much to anyone else, as he had to make sure he showed everyone attention.They ate in the Banquet Hall, the place they used to entertain guests. It was large enough to hold the entire pack, and everyone was present, other than Kenneth and the guards on patrol.James had told her he wanted to speak to Kenneth more about everything that had been going on in the pack since he'd left. Ordinarily, he would have asked Bass, his Beta, but James felt after their first interaction, and based on a few things that Kenneth had dropped hints about, it would be better to speak to Kenneth first, rather than Bass.James told her he was grateful that she'd postponed Kenneth into the meal with the guards, so Bass wouldn't be around.Halfway through the dinner though, James had called one of the wolves that helped prepare the meal, and very loudly thanked him for the work they'd done. Quietly, James had asked him to provide a list of the food stores of the pack.Elizabeth h
Her Forgotten Mate Chapter 42: Home
Elizabeth woke up in her little cottage, the sun streaming in through her bedroom window. She had woken up every morning for a month now already, relishing the peace the morning here gave her.She'd been home for about a month now. She'd been living in the Moirai, working as their healer, when one night a stranger had come into her room, running straight for her, grabbing her.Elizabeth had screamed and tried fighting him off. He was very obviously stronger, and had the upper hand, until the guard wolves heard the commotion and came to intervene.The wolf had left peacefully after that, the guards following him out.The training healer had come to check in on her, and then helped her to her own rooms. But Elizabeth had decided that night, she couldn't stay in the Moirai. She absolutely had to leave for her home, and she'd set out as soon as she had the Alpha's permission, which was brought to her by the healer in training, who introduced herself as Ayla.Ayla had suggested to Eliz
Her Forgotten Mate Chapter 43: Intuition
James had a plan. A very solid and very crazy plan.But Elizabeth was his mate. If there was ever a time or place where his plan could work, it was here, with her. His plan meant never going back to his pack, of course, but that was a simple fix to the problem.James had left Bass in charge of the Pack, under Kenneth's watch. James had felt sure that Bass wouldn't do anything like he had done before. Bass himself had seen the repercussions of his actions, and would do everything to prevent that same situation from happening again.After Bass' short control of the pack, James had spent two weeks undoing the damage that had been caused by his misguided actions.The pack had to go on food rations and restrictions, in order to refill their winter stores. It hadn't been easy, as hunger ricocheted through the pack, and the wolves had weakened. They had also been miserable and had almost unanimously agreed that the situation was entirely Bass' fault.James had also sent away provisions
Her Forgotten Mate Chapter 44: Remembrances
Elizabeth knew that something was very wrong, and she knew that something was wrong with her. This closeness to James that she felt was unnatural, wrong and definitely a once in a lifetime kind of thing.But there was no crushing desire with it, no all-consuming madness of a mate haze. And she knew what it could mean, but it would mean something very strange.She knew him, before. Somehow, somewhere, they'd met before. Because she was absolutely sure that what she felt for him was a mate bond solidified.But that just couldn't be possible because she absolutely didn't know him.But that could mean that something was wrong with her.Elizabeth watched as James tended to the fire, as he helped her clean the cabin, as he roasted meat for their supper.And each time he did something, something she had never seen him do before, her memory flashed. Like it was trying to remind her of something.James dusted out the blankets on her bed, folding them up, and she pictured him sleeping in

"But why?" Elizabeth cried. "Why is he so invested in your choice of Luna?"James considered for a moment, before speaking."The Luna has more influence in a pack than any Alpha would care to admit," James began. "The Alpha is obeyed, always, but very often he is also feared. But the Luna is obeyed, always, and she is loved. And when obedience comes from love, rather than fear, the obedience is ingrained and the loyalty unshakeable.""And if Bass had the ear of the Luna," Elizabeth reasoned."He would have the sway over the pack," James shook his head. "It's just so unlike him, though. Bass is violent, he fights head on, and he fights recklessly. It isn't like him to be so underhanded and deviant.""Poor Katrina," Elizabeth began. "She was going to be used like a puppet. I'm glad she managed to escape.""Yeah," James nodded. "It wouldn't have been easy for her to be in that situation. Bass would have manipulated her to gain control over the pack.""Do you think his goal was to b
Her Forgotten Mate Chapter 46: Revelation
Elizabeth and James were preparing to return to the pack, but there was nothing else that they could do. Not really. More lives depended on them than just their own.Elizabeth packed up everything she would need. This would be well and truly her last time packing up and leaving here. It felt a little strange, though she'd done it so many times before already."Are you ready to leave?" James asked her.And she wasn't sure what she wanted to do, but she did know what she had to."I think so," Elizabeth answered, tying her last bag closed and passing it to James.They left for the Moirai together. This time, there would be no guards sent to bring Elizabeth home. This time James wouldn't leave her side even for a moment.Not while the threat to them, their pack and their mate bond, was still out there. While the threat still thought that they weren't yet uncovered.And James, much like the first time, well and truly didn't know what he was returning to. He had no idea the state that
Her Forgotten Mate Chapter 47: Challenge
Bass immediately realized his mistake. But it was far too late to make any attempts at correcting it now.Not only had Bass robbed them of a mated Luna, but he'd also then put every barrier to her possibly being found, and in the same attempt, stopped their pack from having a Healer.All of these actions were not only betrayal against James, but the entire pack as a whole."What did you do, Bass?" James asked, spreading his arms wide before him, giving Bass a chance to explain."You were never supposed to be Alpha," Bass hissed. "It was never supposed to be you. I was going to be Alpha!" Bass screamed, and every wolf took a few steps back.This wasn't an outright challenge for Alpha just yet, but it was getting there pretty fast.Elizabeth stayed firm in her place just behind James; she would move when it was an open declaration and not before.Kenneth stood firm next to her."So tell me," James spoke softly, encouraging. "Tell me what was supposed to happen."And Elizabeth un
Her Forgotten Mate Chapter 48: A New Beta
The fight was finally over. Elizabeth could hardly believe it. Everything was over, all the lies and deception, the loss and manipulation. There was finally peace in the Moirai.Or, as much peace as a wolf pack could have.Two weeks had already passed since Bass had been exiled, and for two weeks, they've been living without his shadow, or fear of him, covering them.Elizabeth still felt slightly uneasy, though. The moon had still been showing her troubling dreams, things she couldn't yet explain.A knock on her door brought her out of her thoughts."Luna," the wolf bowed before her, and Elizabeth had gotten used to the deference very quickly. Even she had to admit, royalty had its perks. "The Alpha is summoning you, in his hall.""He is, is he?" Elizabeth arched a brow. "Tell him I'll be right there."Elizabeth glanced to the wedding clothes and jewelry again. She would be barefoot for the ceremony, it was their law. But something about her things looked missing, and she couldn
