THE ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN MATE Chapter 129
Ava's pov“Now that the forge has been activated, I think we should check that empty chamber again just in case anything changes.” Lyra suggested.“Sure.” Xander said.Lyra opened the secret passage again and we followed her in. Something felt different as we walked in.Before I could ponder on it a light appeared in the empty chamber. It started as a single flicker, a tiny never that appeared out of nowhere. As if it was responding to our presence, it suddenly grew brighter.Torches we hadn't noticed along the walls, lit up casting a glow in the chamber and that was when I saw it.The walls of the entire chamber were covered in craving. Not just ordinary cravings that told stories of our history, these carvings were drawings of warriors in battle, they were each locked in different combat forms. Some held swords, other daggers, some bow and arrows, mallets and some fought with nothing but their bare hands.Their movements were so smooth, so lifelike, it was as if they were frozen in

Ava's povI dodged an attack then moved fast, my blade cutting through the air and the side of my opponent in a single, precise strike. The light of the warrior flickered— unstable, then disappeared before it collapsed to the ground.One down.I turned, searching for the next but before I could move, a loud roar filled the chamber.Turning to the source, I saw that Xander had driven his sword into the chest of a warrior but I like the one I had just destroyed, its light didn't fade rather it shattered into a thousand pieces.A blinding shockwave erupted from its form sending an energy surge through the room. The other warriors froze for a split second.And that was all we needed.“NOW!” Xander ordered.Everyone sprang into action.Kiada struck first, her dagger sinking deep into the throat of the warrior. It shattered and another shockwave was released from its body stunning the other warriors again. Rowan took advantage of the opening and decapitated another warrior.Vanessa and Kael

Xander's povThe glow from the forge dimmed then I heard the voice of the keeper.“It is time for the alpha king to face his trial.”I was in a space of nothingness. I could see anything. “What trial?” I asked, speaking into the darkness as unease grew in my guts.The keeper suddenly materialized in front of me, its glow blinding for a second as my eyes adjusted. “You still hold on to the past, Xander. It's like a plague that you cannot seem to get rid of. You cannot lead Lycara into the future while bound by hatred. Before you wield the weapons of kings, you must prove yourself worthy—by confronting the one who made you who you are.”My father.I felt a hand touch mine. It was Ava— or what seemed to be like her, I wasn't sure. “You have to do this.” She whispered in my ears.Whether or not that was her, I knew that she was right. I had to do this, I had to confront my biggest fear in order to let go and move on with my life.The weight of the moment pressed down on me as I realized t

Rowan’s POVWhen the glow faded, I found myself trapped.I stood in the center of a large stone chamber. The wall felt like they were closing in on me. There was a door so I walked towards it but something strange happened.No matter how much I walked I never got to the door. Panic gripped me as I wondered what was going on, then suddenly…"Rowan."I spun around fast and my breath caught in my throat at what I saw.There stood Kaida. She wasn't the Kaida I knew but an older, worn, wrinkled version of her. Her green eyes, which had fallen in love with, held no warmth as she stared at me.Then she did something unfathomable.She spoke."You hesitated," the older Kaida said, voice hollow. "You allowed your duty to control your life and in so doing, you lost me.”What?“What are you talking about?”“I was a burden to you, I couldn't speak. You were embarrassed.” She continued.“That's a lie.” I said. “It's a lie!”"You wanted to protect everyone, but you ended up protecting no one." She s

Xander’s povEveryone was silent after the trials they had just passed through. No one was willing to share their experience and I didn’t mind. After a few minutes of silence I spoke up.“We need to move on to the next line of action.” I said. “Kael, Vanessa, Rowan and Kaida. I want you all to split up and memorize the drawings on the walls and once that’s done you’ll go ahead to teach our warriors so as to prepare them. Also take some of the weapons that the warriors and elders hadn't been able to take and distribute them among the warriors and enforcers”“okay, alpha” Kael replied.I noticed that Lyra had isolated herself from the rest of us and this made me wonder the extent of the trial she had faced.What did she see?I waled over to her and upon noticing me she turned wanting to walk away and avoid me but I halted her plan to flee with a single command. “Stop.”Grabbing her bicep and turning her to face me,I noticed tears of tears on her face and this got me concerned. “what’s

Xander’s povBreakfast the next day at the grand hall was a bit quiet. It had been awhile since we all gathered and ate together. The rest of the nobles were already well aware of the situation of things as they had been briefed by Draven who was now my new Beta.I could tell that Kael, Rowan, Kaida an Vanessa had started to train the warriors as the ones in the grand hall had a different stance from the one they usually had. I smiled as I noticed the progress we were making, I was proud at how fast the warriors were learning.Just as I was beginning to think that we could have a brief moment of peace over breakfast, Kael who had been absent suddenly burst in through the door, breathless.He wore a grim expression on his face. “Alpha.”Sighing with a frown on my face, I said. “What is it now?”“A message.” he answered, stepping closer. “One of the scouts found it this morning.”The moment the words came out of his mouth, the little chatter in the hall vanished as everyone fell silent

Xander’s povHe stiffened at my words.I clenched my hands into fists at my sides as flashbacks flooded my mind. “After my mother's death, you were cruel and not just to me but to your people as well. I spent so many nights crying and wishing that mother had just let the rouges kill me that day so that you wouldn’t have become the man that you turned into. I also prayed to the moongoddes that you wont ever touch Rowan and Lyra, I would gladly take all the beatings if it would spare them from your wrath.” I paused to take a deep breath. “you made me hate you_ I resented you with everything in me. And yet, here I am today, every lesson I have learned, every trial I have overcome, it was all because of you.”He didn’t say anything once I was done, he just stared.After what felt like an eternity, he finally spoke “do you… do you still hate me?”I took a deep breath before answering. “No, I do not.”His expression wavered briefly.“There was a trial that I faced yesterday, in the forge.”

Lucian’s povThe castle had never felt so cold.Not even in the dead of winter, not even after I lost her- my world, my mate. But now, sitting alone in my chambers, staring at the burning, flickering fireplace, I felt it.A cold so harsh that it seeped through my skin and sank deep into my bones and settled there.Xander had come to me today. A day I had never dreamt of- not even in my wildest dreams. He came not with the hate and vengeance that I had expected but with a forgiveness that I didn’t deserve.If I had been in his position, if my father had raised me the way I raised xander, I would have never forgiven him. I would have trained to become stronger than him then rip him into pieces once he was weak.But, xander was stronger than me.I had raised him to be a warrior, to be cold and ruthless but he had become more than that. He had become a true king, far greater than the one I had ever been.I exhaled sharply, dragging my hand across my face. It was too late to change things,

Ava's povWar doesn’t end in a day. But neither does peace begin in one.It has been three days since Zerathos vanished.Three days since we watched his monstrous army retreat into the mist, leaving behind scorched earth, broken trees, a pile of bodies, the smell of blood and rot and the faintest echo of something dangerous whispering in the wind.We had returned to the Ashville main pack to regroup, heal, and mourn. The war council met daily. The injured filled the infirmary. My magic was slowly coming back as the days passed. Our warriors were tense, always half-listening, always watching the tree lines.But there’s something worse than fear in the air.Something wrong that had plagued me since the day of the first battle.And I could feel it clawing at me like a cold hand pressed against the back of my neck.I would wake up in the middle of the night gasping for air, heart pounding like I’ve been running. But there was nothing there, no matter how hard I searched. Just Xander’s s
THE ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN MATE Chapter 187
Zerathos' povThey think they’ve won.How foolish.War doesn't end when someone retreats. Not for those who breathe war.They thought my vanishing act was surrender. That my army fading with me was a sign of loss. But they misunderstood the game entirely.You don’t conquer a kingdom by brute force alone—you break its spirit, fracture its foundation, and wait for the cracks to show and watch everything crumble as they scramble to save what is beyond repair.The moment I faded from the battlefield, I felt the wave of their false relief like a sweet smell in the wind. It made me smirk at their naiveness. A dream. It was the normal way a prey always relaxes when the predator steps away… forgetting that sometimes, the beast only backs off to sharpen its claws.I stood at the top of the cliffs of Death Hollow now, the wind howling in the air, the sky was bleeding, the earth soaked with death, black mist curling at my feet. The death hollow was a little realm I had crafted for myself. Below
THE ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN MATE Chapter 186
Ava's povWar doesn’t start and end in a day. It takes a while.To build. To break. To bleed.To bury.And when the sky finally cleared of fire and ash, when Zerathos’s monstrous form vanished into the nothingness from which he had come from, taking his cursed army with him, all that remained was silence.A thick, eerie, unnatural silence.Like the earth itself was holding its breath.The blood-soaked ground beneath my feet was still warm, humming with the leftover power of dark spells and light magic. The battle was over…for now but it didn’t feel like a victory. It felt like a pause. A line right in the middle of a war that hadn’t even shown us its worst yet.All around me, bodies lay scattered like fallen birds—our warriors, his Shadow slaves and everything in between. Some would never rise again. Others would carry the scars forever.My heartbeat echoed in my ears, the only sound I could hear over the rush of adrenaline still coursing through my veins.Xander stood a few feet from
THE ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN MATE Chapter 184
Ava's povThe moment the black mist erupted from the ground, I knew that things were about to get much worse.It was reeking badly.The ground cracked open beneath our feet like a wound splitting wide, and from it, the shadows poured, thick and choking, whispering in voices I couldn’t understand.Zerathos was coming.And I wasn’t ready, it was too soon.But I had to be.I knew that if I had continued to wait in blackthorn, I would never fully be ready. Now, regardless I was already here and needed to get things together and end this.I turned, eyes widening as I sensed something coming."Shields!" I screamed, summoning my light magic and making a dome flare out around us, golden and humming with energy just as a blast of shadows shot out from the crack on the floor and hitting the barrier with so much force that the forge shook.We stumbled.Xander caught me by the elbow, his arm strong, steady. His eyes locked onto mine for half a second stormy gray-golden eyes clashing with my elect
THE ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN MATE Chapter 184
Xander's povI spotted the command post—a black stone tower in the heart of the forge still standing amidst the chaos.“Take the south side!” I shouted to Kaida. “Keep them from regrouping!”She nodded once before leaping into the shadows, other nightshade warriors next to hermI tuned to the rest. “Push forward! Get to the tower! Cut the head off the snake!”We broke into a small unified group, making our way to the gate. More and more of Zerathos' warriors began flooding in from the rear now—those that were not caught in the explosions. Reinforcements. Bigger. Angrier.But it was too late.Too slow.I could feel it.Their fear.Their unraveling.And beneath it all the Forge began to make a groaning sound.Like something buried deep beneath was awakening.We reached the tower. My claws tore through the doors.We stormed inside and then came the scream again.A sound that shattered bone and split stone.The Howling Horror. Another one.It was close.And it was coming.I turned toward
THE ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN MATE Chapter 183
Xander's povWe didn’t stop to breathe.The moment we emerged from the tunnel, I gave the signal and my warriors immediately sprang to motion like blades being drawn.We moved fast. No more room for mourning, hesitation, or mercy. The Forge was right in front of us. The explosives were set. The path to Zerathos lay wide open, and I was done playing on the defensive.No more creeping in the dark. No more lurking behind shadows.The bombs were planted.The path was clear.It was time.I turned to Kael. “Light them up.”One of his enforcers raised a hand, signalling for someone to hand him a torch which he placed on a wire which was connected to the bombs inside. The spark started, continuing down the path of wire, moving with speed towards the bombs inside.There was a brief moment of silence and then—Boom.The ground trembled beneath our feet as an explosion ripped through the forge’s storage rooms, sending fire and smoke into the sky. The sound echoed across the cursed land like a lo
THE ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN MATE Chapter 182
Ava's povWe pressed forward in silence, everyone trying to keep their emotions in check and eyes peeled. As we got closer to the place where the first war took place I could feel the land speaking to me.It was broken and never allowed to heal. It was corrupt, hollow, scorched and lifeless.I could feel the centuries of history.The pain. The blood that had soaked into the ground during the First Great War.The screams that had rang out through the filled.Ahead of us was the tree that had the main door to the forge. The place where he had built his empire of shadows and death.But before we could take another step then a scent hit us.Blood.Old and fresh at the same time.Xander held up a hand, signaling for everyone to stop. His golden eyes scanned the battlefield, sharp and cautious. I could tell that Leo had taken over because he didn't want to take any chances.And then we saw him.A small body. Unmoving.A young werewolf, no more than fifteen, lay dead on the cold, cursed grou
THE ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN MATE Chapter 181
Ava's povWe moved forward in silence, our boots pressing into the ashen soil of Ashville’s cursed land. The deeper we ventured, the thicker the air became—dense, humid, tinged with a metallic taste that clung to the back of my throat.But soon enough I noticed that something was wrong.Very wrong.I couldn't quite place what it was.The enemy wasn’t meeting us in open battle.They were watching. Waiting. Hunting. I could feel their eyes on us but I couldn't place where exactly they were.Xander walked ahead, his shoulders tense, his grip on his blade firm. The warriors behind us moved cautiously, scanning every shadow, their ears twitching at every distant sound. The silence was what disturbed me the most. A battlefield should have been alive—full of shouts, the clash of steel, the roar of war.But this?This was like stepping into a graveyard before the bodies had even fallen.What's going on?A shiver crawled up my spine. I kept my magic close, simmering beneath my skin, waiting fo
THE ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN MATE Chapter 180
Ava's povThese chains will not hold me.Never.The shadows wrapped around me like living creatures, chains of darkness slithering over my arms, my throat, my legs—squeezing, burning, consuming. It felt like they were alive, like they were breathing, whispering, coiling into my skin with a predatory hunger.I struggled, yanking against them, but it was like fighting the weight of an anvil. The more I thrashed, the tighter they held me.A cruel chuckle echoed through the darkness."Foolish girl," the General sneered. "Do you think you can fight against your own nature?"This isn't my nature! I wanted to shout but couldn't.I clenched my jaw, refusing to acknowledge the way his words made my stomach twist. I wasn’t one of them. I wasn’t his.Never was and never will be.But the shadows thought otherwise.They hissed in my ear, whispering things I refused to hear.I refused to listen.But my body was betraying me.The cold was sinking deeper, flowing into my veins, making my thoughts slo
