Once Upon a Forbidden Mate Chapter 24 - Brianna
I was sitting in the kitchen, nursing a cup of camomile tea in the hopes that it would calm some of my nerves. It wasn’t freaking working though. What I really needed was to know if Mason and Dominic were safe but nobody in this stupid pack would tell me what was going on. Most of the strongest pack members had left with Mason and none of them had come back yet. It would probably be so easy for me to escape at the moment, so how come that was the last thing that I wanted to do. The only thing I wanted was to hold Dominic and Mason in my arms so that I could know they were both safe. It made no sense for me to care about either of them in this way. One of them had rejected me and the other one wanted to claim me regardless of my own views on the subject. Yet somehow both of them had crawled into my heart and were refusing to leave. It was as confusing as hell and even my wolf couldn’t deny it after last night. Why did I have to come to this realisation when neither of them were anyw

Brianna went to bed shortly after ten but the rest of us stayed in my office to discuss the problem. I knew that Rowan and Pierre weren’t convinced that we should waste our time trying to save Dominic and Franklin. They didn’t say anything but I could tell that they thought it was pointless, that alpha Kennedy would have killed them long before we got there. They were probably right but I had to try, otherwise the guilt would eat at me. It was me that had sent them into that pack and deep down I knew that the plan was flawed. I had rushed into it because I wanted to get him away from my future mate before they could develop feelings for each other. I shouldn’t have done that and now his potential death was on my shoulders and I wasn’t sure that I could live with that kind of guilt. We had spent the last three hours looking at maps of alpha Kennedy’s territory, looking for any kind of weakness and coming back with the same answer. The problem wasn’t getting into the pack, that was go

Lying to Mason made me feel awful, he was so concerned about me when I said that I needed to go to bed early. I had to do it though, there was no other way of keeping everyone in this pack safe while I rescued Dominic. Besides, I was still hoping that I would be able to make it back before anyone realised that I was missing. Getting out of the house and the pack unseen was easier than I had thought it would be. It was later and most of the pack members had gone home to get some rest after Mason came back home, so the house and the streets were mostly empty. I even felt relaxed though to turn on my phone and check my messages as I travelled through the forest towards the border. Both Nolan and Kaiden had been calling and messaging me almost constantly since I arrived at Mason’s pack. I hadn’t known how to respond to them so I had turned off my phone while I worked out what I was going to do. Now I needed both of them to help me so I had to hope that they wouldn’t be too upset about m

My heart ached as I drove away from Brianna. I didn’t want to be driving into that pack with all of this going on in my mind, I wanted to punch something or drink my own body weight in alcohol. Instead I was driving straight into a high pressure situation where I would need to use all of my intellect and cunning. I wasn’t even sure if this plan was going to work, the last time that I had seen my father and my alpha they had chased me out of the pack. It wasn’t as though I had completed the mission that they had given me, so I had to think of some other reason for being here in the next couple of minutes. There were a few things that I could try but I wasn’t sure that either of them would be enough to distract from my real reason for being here. If I managed to get out of this alive with the codes it would be some kind of miracle. Alpha Kennedy must have been notified of my arrival the moment that I crossed the border because within a few seconds it felt like all my family were tryin

Alpha Dalton led me down the corridors of his house in complete silence. I know that his beta and gamma were giving him instructions over mind link but not being able to hear them made me feel more out of the loop, and I didn’t like it. She was my mate and I needed to make sure she was safe, I needed to hold her in my arms and make sure that everything was OK.I also needed to remove this damn rejection, I couldn’t bear having it hanging over our heads any longer. If Mason wanted to take her away from me then he was going to have to kill me to do it. I was done pretending that I could ever give her up.“Where is she?” I asked, unable to take the silence any longer.“At the moment she is in the forest just outside the far side of her father’s territory.” Alpha Dalton replied without even so much as looking at me. We were getting close to his car now and he had picked up the pace, so much so that I was almost having to jog to keep up with him.“The far side, I wonder why she chose to ap

This beta had been testing my patience from the start but it was a mistake for him to admit his feelings for Brianna. Even with my increased control over my wolf, there was only so much that I could do, and once I knew he had made an attempt to take her from me earlier today I was fighting a losing battle.My wolf growled and surged forward so quickly that I didn’t stand a chance in hell of holding him back. I found myself being forced to watch as my wolf lunged forward and grabbed this beta by the neck and sent the two of us tumbling to the floor. Out of the corner of my eye I could see Dominic and Rowan getting out of the car and running over to me. They needed to move quickly, my wolf wasn’t thinking rationally and he was out for blood.“How dare you try to steal my mate from me beta,” My wolf growled. His grip on the beta’s throat tightened causing the beta to gasp for air while clawing at my hand. My wolf was not deterred by this, his claws dug into the skin at the back of his nec

Things were going much too well. Kaiden and I had already managed to get through the boundary fence and into the building through the back exit without anyone noticing our presence here. It had been smooth. For a plan that I had come up with in a few minutes when I was worried about my mate and sleep deprived, it was far too good to be true.The next part was going to be the hard part, I wasn’t sure where in the building my father would be keeping Dominic or his family. I was sure however that it wouldn’t be long before they would notice our presence, so we were going to have to either work fast or fight our way out.We moved in silence through the ground floor of the building until we reached the elevator. There were five floors to this vast building, three of which were underground. The two floors that were above ground looked to be set up as office units in the blueprints that I had seen. So, I figured that the lower floors were where he would be keeping his prisoners. Although, th

“I’m not going anywhere with you,” I growled, planting my feet in place and placing my hands on my hips.“Don’t be a brat Brianna. What are you going to do, fight us? We have guns and you don’t” One of my father’s top guards said, stepping forward so that I could get a good look at the gun in his hand. He had a smug look on his face that I was going to take great pleasure in removing.His threat only worked if I believed that he would be willing to kill me with the gun that he was holding, but I knew that was never going to happen. My father wanted me brought to him alive, and he wasn’t exactly the kind of alpha that would be very forgiving if his orders weren’t followed to the letter.With that in mind I allowed my fangs and claws to extend while simultaneously taking a step forward. The man in front of me had been so cocky that it clearly hadn’t crossed his mind that I might make a move against him. He must have spent too many years dealing with meek prisoners, and forgot that I was

I waited for Raymond and his ex-mate to gather what they needed and leave before letting a low growl leave my throat. I couldn’t understand why everyone around me couldn’t comprehend why I didn’t want the worry of what the council would do next at the back of my mind throughout my heat.This would be my first real heat since I was a teenager and there was a good chance I would get pregnant after it. The last thing I needed was to go back to my pack and get into a fight with the council while potentially being pregnant.“There is no need for that sunshine, we will take care of you.”Dominic and Mason closed in on me from either side and started kissing me on my neck and shoulder. It felt as though their hands were all over me and the sensation of their touch and their lips against my skin was enough to dampen the fire on my skin and ignite one much deeper inside of me. As much as I w
Once Upon a Forbidden Mate Chapter 58 - Mason
The witch’s apartment was packed with so many plants and flowers that the air was thick with pollen and moisture. It was so intense that I made it difficult to breathe too deeply, and the tension between Raymond and his ex-mate didn’t help with that.She had allowed us into her home but was still doing everything in her power to make sure we were all aware of how unwelcome we were there. She had told us to stand at one end of the room while putting herself at the other end of it with her hands on her hips. Even though her apartment was small, there was still enough space between them that it would be difficult for Raymond to sneak in close enough to touch her.“I am waiting,” She growled.“I’m so sorry sweetheart. I should have never rejected you but that is something I can easily rectify. I Raymond ….”The woman held her hand out to stop h

Brianna had pulled Mason and me to one side so that she could take us through her plan. She thought she was being clever but I thought her impending heat was frying her brain because her plan made absolutely no sense. She wanted us to use her heat as a way of making the council members incriminate themselves in a way that she could use against them.It was never going to work. The council were too cautious to slip up in such a way and even if they weren’t, her plan was flawed. Blackmailing someone who was trying to blackmail you was precarious at the best of times, but doing it when your mind was clouded by lust was suicide.“We need to think of another plan, one that doesn’t put you in so much danger,” I replied.Brianna whimpered, causing Mason to shuffle a little closer to her and wrap his arms tightly around her. I hadn’t meant my voice to sound so harsh but Mason and I weren&rs
Once Upon a Forbidden Mate Chapter 56 - Brianna
There was something wrong with my mates, I had been getting feelings of stress coming from both of them all afternoon and it only seemed to be getting worse as time passed by. It was an extra distraction that I really didn’t need when I was already struggling to trace their location using our bond.Adding to all of that, the man who had rescued me from the council seemed determined to share his life story with me. It sounded as though Raymond had been through quite a lot at the hands of the council but there was a time for sharing such stories and this wasn’t it. There had been more than one occasion in the last few hours where I had to bite my tongue so I wouldn’t tell him to shut the fuck up.“Do you have a plan?” Raymond asked as he took hold of my shoulder, halting my progress.“Of course I have a plan,” I growled. My tone wasn’t great but considering my curren
Once Upon a Forbidden Mate Chapter 55 - Mason
I was strangely calm as ex-Alpha Kennedy’s men dragged me through the forest towards their lair. That was because I knew that despite all of his posturing, he couldn’t kill Dominic and me without also killing or seriously harming his own daughter. Even he wasn’t crazy enough to do that. So, he must have had some other plan for us.I watched with interest as we entered the makeshift camp where Alpha Kennedy was now staying. We moved too quickly for me to see everything but from what I had seen, I was pretty sure that his mate and his son weren’t there. There were only a handful of tents and a few boxes of what I assumed to be supplies. There couldn’t have been more than a dozen people left in the camp and most of them were the mates and children of the warriors who had intercepted us.From the intelligence that the council had shared with us, this was only a small fraction of the people who had left to join
Once Upon a Forbidden Mate Chapter 54 - Brianna
Getting caught red-handed by the council’s assistant was embarrassing enough but having them drag me into a room and hold me prisoner while both my mates watched was next level. I was meant to be a strong female Alpha and everything about today was making me feel more like an Omega.I had to watch helplessly while my mates were sent away on a dangerous mission and then once they were gone I was brought over to the table and pushed into a seat. There was something about the way the council members were looking at me as I adjusted myself within the seat that told me things were only going to get worse from there. I had to bite my lower lip to stop myself from making any sarcastic remarks while I watched them shuffling their paperwork in front of me.“You thought you were so clever when you were making plans with your weak human mate and your broken Alpha, didn’t you?” One of the council member’s assistants g
Once Upon a Forbidden Mate Chapter 53 - Dominic
It didn’t escape my notice how even though so much had changed in the last few days, I was basically right back to where I had started. Standing in another dark alleyway looking for clues so that I could trace someone’s movements.Franklin had joined us shortly after we left our pack’s territory and he was now helping us in our search. He had left the pack shortly after the council had turned up but he didn’t go too far away. He had been dealing with the council a lot longer than I had and he knew we would be needing his help before long.He was even less happy about going along with the council’s orders than I was, although even he admitted that we didn’t have any other viable options. With the pack almost completely under their control and the potential for them getting backup from some of the nearby packs, it wasn’t going to be possible for us to overpower them without risking Brianna’
Once Upon a Forbidden Mate Chapter 52 - Mason
I don’t know how Dominic could stay so calm while our mate was in the hands of our enemies. I knew that he was used to hiding his emotions from others. It was just one of the skills he had picked up while working for the council alongside his parents but he was much better at this than I gave him credit for.There was barely any sign of stress on his face as he listened to the information that the council members wanted to share with him. Meanwhile, I felt as though I was barely holding onto my anger. My wolf was begging me to let him take over so that he could rip every single one of them apart and I was having trouble thinking of any reason good enough to deny his request.Nobody had dared to declare war on the council before because they feared what would happen to their pack if they did. But our pack was strong and we had many strong fighters, what would the council do if we decided to reject their authority? Could they really use
Once Upon a Forbidden Mate Chapter 51 - Dominic
We all had our parts to play in this ridiculous plan that Mason had concocted but my part was going to be the hardest of all. That was because my part of the plan involved lying to at least one member of the council, all of whom were Alphas.It was going to be difficult for me to pull something like this off but then again that was why I had been given this role. I was the only person who had an incentive to get Mason out of the way and I was also the person they would least suspect of trying to lie to them. That was mainly because they saw me as being so weak compared to them that they expected me to be intimidated by them. They were wrong but I was prepared to play along with their assumptions if it helped our cause.I slipped into one of the bathrooms on the ground floor and locked the door behind me. I sat down on the closed toilet seat and rested my head in my hands, I had to find some way of bringing my heart rate down or they we
