Once Upon a Forbidden Mate Chapter 1 - Brianna
I punched the punching bag in front of me as though it would solve all my problems but even as I was hitting it I knew it was impossible. Neither the three destroyed punching bags nor the broken bones I just gave my future beta were going to change my parent’s minds. It didn’t matter that I was just as strong as any other alpha, my parents couldn’t seem to look past the fact that I was female. I am sure that if I had any younger brothers they would have been handed the position as soon as they came of age. So why did they insist I needed my mate in order to take over? I wasn’t ever sure I wanted a mate, I had trained too hard and put in too many hours to be demoted to the luna position. I punched the bag in front of me so hard that the chains holding it in place groaned. The door to the gym creaked open behind me, I spun around and glared at the door. My childhood friend and future beta’s younger brother Nolan strolled through the door. He had a relaxed way about him that I had a

I sat at my desk with the laptop open in front of me, there were hundreds of tasks waiting for me but I couldn’t bring myself to do any of them. Looking after my pack and growing my businesses has been enough for me for the first few years after I took over as alpha but that was no longer the case. The missing part of my soul left a dull ache that nothing could block out and believe me I had tried everything. The one thing that would make me feel better was the one thing I could never have, a mate. I was born human. Not a wolf-less werewolf, a full human. Nobody knew why I was born the way I was, my parents spent years taking me to doctors hoping to find a reason or a cure. In the end they turned to magic. They found a witch who was able to create a wolf and bind it to me. The wolf she created for me was the strongest and most powerful wolf ever seen but all magic has a price. In my case that price was that my wolf was without a fated mate.At first it didn’t seem like a huge deal, I

I couldn’t believe that after what she put me through she showed up at my dorm room and even worse she brought him with her. I loved her with all of my heart and she just threw me aside like I was nothing. It hurt but I could understand why she did it. I have seen enough werewolves find their mate and I knew how powerful that bond could be. It was naive of me to think that my love could overpower that bond but that didn’t make me feel any better. I gave her all the love that I had and it still wasn’t enough to change anything. She threw me aside like I was garbage, she didn’t even have the decency to tell me the truth. I had to walk into the cafe that we normally went to only to see them snuggled cosily together. It was the worst feeling in the world to know that you gave your heart to someone, only to have them trample all over it. Now that she had chosen him I tried to do the honourable thing and keep out of her way but she didn’t have the same respect for me. Was it really too m

I knew something was off when my father insisted that we had a family dinner in our private dining room rather than with the rest of the pack. The last time we had dinner together as a family I was still a child. I must have been about eleven years old. That was the day that my father told me that he was enrolling me on an elite training programme. I left home a couple of months later and I didn’t come back until I was eighteen years old. I was stuck in that facility for seven years with a bunch of alphas, betas and elite warriors. The only people who spoke to me the whole time I was there were Nolan and Kaiden. We became very close during that time and I am sure that is why Nolan ended up falling in love with me. “I have some good news.” My father was smiling at me which in itself was a bad sign. How often have I seen my father smile? It couldn’t be more than a handful of times in all of my life. My mother kept her head down, looking intently at the plate of food in front of her. I

I felt the weight of Brianna’s father’s alpha command as soon as the words left his mouth. I was centimetres away from getting the one thing I had wanted for so many years. It was much too close to have it all taken away from me so cruelly. I have loved Brianna for as long as I can remember. It wasn’t her beauty, even though she was the most beautiful woman that I had ever seen. What really attracted me to her was her strength, she worked incredibly hard to prove herself to her family. Nothing she ever did was good enough for them and yet Brianna didn’t complain or give up. I gave my heart to her years ago, I was more than ready for her to give me hers in return. “Don’t listen to him, Nolan. Mark me and make me yours forever.” Brianna pleaded. Her words gave me the courage to fight her father’s command. As I lowered my canines towards her neck I could hear her father’s forces breaking through the door beside us. My eyes closed, her skin was so close that I could feel the heat of it

My father might not have locked me in a cell but he may as well have. Three of his most highly trained warriors took me straight to my room and locked me inside before standing guard outside it for the whole evening. I could have probably still taken all of them down and escaped, but where would that have gotten me?I would have ended up on the run with no money and no clue where I was going. I have no intention of being forced into being someone’s chosen mate but if I was going to escape then I had to make sure I did this right. Make sure that there was no chance of me getting caught or followed. Unfortunately, that meant I was stuck here, waiting in my room for my father to come and deal with me.I thought he would only make me wait for a few minutes before he came to reprimand me but it seems as though I couldn’t have been more wrong. After a few hours of listening to the people standing guard outside my room and gossiping about me, I realised that he wasn’t coming tonight. I was p

When I walked into the room Brianna’s parents were whispering amongst themselves. Her father was wearing his usual stern expression but her mother looked to be almost distraught, she was quietly begging her mate for something. They broke up their conversation abruptly upon noticing me. It was clear what they were talking about but the interaction left me wondering about a lot of things.I had always assumed that alpha Kennedy’s reputation was a fabrication, just like mine. He had a mate and a daughter and I couldn’t see how anyone with two important women in their life could be so heartless. That was until I heard the way he spoke about his daughter, seeing the indifference with which he dealt with his own mate was just another confirmation of this. “You seem to be getting along well with my daughter,” alpha Kennedy stated with a smirk on his face. “She is a lovely woman,” I replied.That smirk made me want to deny his statement but that would have been counterproductive. I needed a

Another night of me standing in a dingy alleyway trying to pull any kind of useful information from the locals. We had managed to trace my parents to this city pretty quickly but now the trail seems to have gone cold. We were outsiders here and nobody wanted to share information with us. This wasn’t a new problem. It was something that I had run into on nearly every investigation that I had been a part of. But it was all the more frustrating to know that my family were the ones in peril this time. There had to be someone in this useless town who knew where my parents had gone, all I had to do was find them. The vampire in front of me was the third supernatural that I had spoken to this evening and this conversation was proving to be just as useless as the other two. Maybe Franklin would have had more luck with her than I had but I hadn’t seen him all evening and I had no idea where he was. “You know I can't share any information with a human.” The vampire grumbled before trying to

Once Upon a Forbidden Mate Chapter 39 - Brianna
Everything about this place was amazing. I loved that it was much smaller and more personal than anything I had seen within my father’s pack, and I also loved that everything in here seemed to smell absolutely wonderful. I could see why Mason would come here so often, I had only been here for a few minutes but I could already feel myself getting more relaxed.Once the waitress came back to our table with our drinks, I ordered a sharing platter which had all different types of cakes on it. Mason had ordered the same thing and I figured that as he came here so often he would know what the best options on the menu would be. Besides, if Mason could even live up to half of what he was promising then I was going to need all the energy that I could get for tonight.“Maybe I should just take some pieces off your plates rather than ordering sometime for myself,” Dominic suggested.“Sure, maybe Mason will share with you,” I replied, scowling at Dominic playfully. I thought he had grown up aroun
Once Upon a Forbidden Mate Chapter 38 - Mason
When I had originally planned this date it was meant to be for Brianna and me alone, as a way to get to know her better away from the prying eyes of our pack. Of course, I had planned this days ago, before I knew that she was going to meet her fated mate, or that I would end up being her second chance mate.I had planned to take her out to a few different places, each one being slightly more intimate than the last, before hopefully ending with us in bed together. There was no reason that part should have to change though, just because there were three of us now didn’t mean that we couldn’t all end the night in bed together, making each other come and marking each other.I hadn’t anticipated how much I was going to enjoy my mate being intimate with another man. When I first realised that she was mine as well as Dominic’s there was a slight slither of worry that I might get jealous when he touched her. But as the bond grew stronger between us I realised that it didn’t bother me, and now
Once Upon a Forbidden Mate Chapter 37 - Brianna
I could feel the anger bubbling up inside of me despite the effort that both Dominic and Mason were putting into calming me down. As Dominic’s mother laid out my father’s crimes there was no more denying the kind of man that he was. It made me angry to think of all the people that he has hurt, but it wasn’t just him that I was angry with. I was also angry with myself for not noticing all the problems with our pack sooner and doing something to stop him.“I think that is enough for now. I can process the evidence and send it over to the council later today.” Rowan suggested.He tried not to look in my direction but the way he glanced at Mason made it clear that he didn’t trust me not to lose my temper at Dominic’s mother. I could understand his concern after everything he had heard about my family but it only made me feel worse. I wasn’t a monster like my father, and I didn’t like the idea of anyone thinking I was.“It’s fine. I’m angry at my father’s actions but I am not going to do an
Once Upon a Forbidden Mate Chapter 36 - Dominic
It was a little uncomfortable for me to watch Mason and Brianna being so intimate over breakfast even though I understood why he was doing it. He wanted to show his pack that Brianna was his mate and that nothing was going to come between them, but that didn’t make it any easier for me to be on the outside of everything.Brianna and Mason had finished their breakfast and they, along with Rowan, were getting ready to have a meeting to discuss what to do about Alpha Kennedy. Brianna looked down at where I was sitting beside her, she was waiting for me to make some move to indicate that I would be joining them but when I didn’t do so she started to look worried.“Aren’t you coming with us?” She asked, the sadness in her eyes making me feel guilty for not giving in to her wishes.Going with her would have only made me feel better momentarily however, there was a good chance that if I went with them then it would just be a continuation of what had happened over breakfast. I wasn’t sure how
Once Upon a Forbidden Mate Chapter 35 - Brianna
Trusting Mason to handle my father was difficult for me, but if this thing between us was ever going to work then I needed to trust him, so that is what I did. By the time my father stormed out of the room, it felt as though my trust in Mason had been rewarded because somehow he had managed to get his way without it turning into an argument. That was something I had never managed to achieve before.Not once in my whole life had my father allowed me to get my own way or win a fight. When I was growing up I assumed that this was how all of his interactions with other alphas went, but after seeing the way Mason was able to handle him I wasn’t so sure. I had seen Mason beat my father on a couple of different occasions which led me to believe that either my father was losing his edge or he wasn’t the man he always made out to be.“I’m sorry about that, my love. I was struggling not to lose my temper with him as it was, I wouldn’t have stood a chance if he had kept mocking you.” Mason expla
Once Upon a Forbidden Mate Chapter 34 - Mason
Leaving Dominic alone with our mate didn’t sit well with me but it wasn’t as though I had any other choice. It wouldn’t exactly be fair to leave Rowan to deal with repercussions of Brianna’s prison break. It would be even worse considering that it was Brianna’s father who had turned out at our pack shortly after dawn, and he was threatening to report us to the council for misconduct.After Rowan mind linked me to let me know that alpha Kennedy had arrived I dressed quickly before heading downstairs to meet him. He was on my front doorstep with his beta and a couple of his warriors standing behind him, shouting loudly in my beta’s face.“Alpha Kennedy, to what do I owe this pleasure?” I asked as I casually walked up behind my beta.“I have evidence of your interference in my pack’s business.” Alpha Kennedy growled. He was clearly lying because it would be difficult to have evidence of something I didn’t do, but I couldn’t dismiss him without first having a discussion about it. I wasn’t
Once Upon a Forbidden Mate Chapter 33 - Dominic
We had all been far too tired to argue about sleeping arrangements last night. If we weren’t then maybe I wouldn’t have ended up in bed with Brianna and Mason, so I guess I should be thankful for our exhaustion. After falling asleep with my arm around my mate I had the best night’s sleep I have had for a very long time. I hardly even noticed Mason laying on the other side of her with his arm around her waist and his face pressed against her neck.I woke up shortly after the sun came up but I couldn’t bear the thought of leaving the comfort of this bed. After spending the evening holding onto Brianna our bond was stronger now and I could feel contentment inside of me that I didn’t think was coming from me.“For fuck’s sake,” Mason mumbled before carefully slipping out of bed and starting to pull his trousers on. I lifted my head to see what was happening, being very careful not to wake Brianna in the process.“Go back to sleep, I just have to attend some stupid meeting.”He finished get
Once Upon a Forbidden Mate Chapter 32 - Mason
Standing by and saying nothing as Brianna wrapped her arms around Dominic was the hardest thing I have ever had to do. My wolf and every cell in my body screamed at me to run over there and pull the two of them away from each other. But I knew I couldn’t do that.If I did then I would probably only succeed in pushing them together in the long run. So, instead I clenched my hands into firsts at my side and watched on helplessly as Dominic rescinded his rejection and held Brianna tightly in his arms.It hurt even more seeing them together because I had felt as though something was developing between the two of us, but now all of that was quickly forgotten just because he said a few easy words. I hated how it seemed so easy for her to cast me aside for the man who had rejected her.My wolf whimpered in pain, he knew that Brianna was probably our last chance of claiming a mate. To see her slipping through his claws when he was still too weak to do anything about it was more than he could b
Once Upon a Forbidden Mate Chapter 31 - Brianna
“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
