THE ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN MATE Chapter 57
Ava's povI clenched my jaw and fist in annoyance. “So what? I'm supposed to face a dark god to save a race that has treated my kind as worthless trash for centuries? Why shouldn't I let them perish for their own wrongdoings?”“Ava,” Xander said. I could hear the hurt in his voice but I chose to ignore it. “Please.”I closed my eyes. It was all too much.“If the werewolves are defeated, your kind will face sufferings worse than what they are currently going through.” The keeper said.Opening my eyes, I scoffed. “What could possibly be worse than what's already going on?”The keeper was silent. Xander sighed.“The path ahead will not be an easy one, Ava.” The keeper started, voice soft. “There will be trials, pain, and loss. Your thread has started to cross paths with others— a lot. Your choices will determine the date of many.”I took a shaky breath as the weight of my responsibility settled on my shoulders. “And if I fail?”The Keeper’s glow flared then dimmed. “If you fail, the thre

Ava's povWe got to the grand foyer and walked to the grand doors. Xander pushed it open and we stepped out, the cold night air bit our skin.I stared at the view in front of us but it was equally deserted. Fear began to creep up my spine, did the rogues attack? Are we in a different realm? Is this… the work of the dark god?Before I could voice out any of these questions, the sound of hurried footsteps approaching interrupted me. We turned and saw a guard, frozen to his spot.His eyes were wide in shock and face pale. “Alpha, Ava.” He muttered.“What's going on? Where's everyone?” Xander demanded, eyes narrow and body tensed.The guard’s gaze darted between us, his expression a mix of disbelief and relief. “You’ve been gone.” he said, his voice trembling.“Gone?” Xander repeated. “What on earth are you talking about?” He snapped.The guard swallowed hard and his body visibly trembled at Xander's tone. “You both disappeared over a week ago.”A week?“The entire castle and packs have

Xander’s POVI was still trying to wrap my head around everything.A week.We had been gone for an entire week. The keeper's warning about the elders rang in my head, I had always known that they couldn't be fully trusted and this has solidified my decision on that.A lot rested on my shoulders now, taking care and protecting Ava, handling the issue with the rouges, finding the traitors in the castle, being cautious around the elders, destroying the human rebellion and finding out who this dark god was so I could help Ava.I looked up at her. She was lost in thoughts just like I was. Even if the world around us was on fire, she would always ground me.“We need a plan.” I said, breaking the silence.She looked up and nodded. “What type of plan?”“First, we need to make sure that we maintain control over the pack at all costs. A divided pack would fall before the war even begins. The rogues are watching us, they are waiting for a sign of weakness to latch onto and bring us down.”She no

Xander's povThe council had summoned me yet again. The air was thick with tension as I stood before them. Their cold and calculating gaze burned into me.I maintained a neutral expression and clasped my hand behind me, back straight as I started back at them. Leo growled, he was seething deep in me. It was a struggle to contain him.“Alpha king Xander.” Elder Thane began. “You suddenly disappeared for over a week and threw not just your pack but the entire Kingdom into a frenzy as they relentlessly searched for you. Do you care to explain your sudden disappearance?”He tried to look and sound intimidating but he looked like a pup. “I left to go investigate a recent rogue activity I had spotted near the borders.” U answered calmly. “It needed to be handled with utmost discretion and secrecy which is why I didn't tell anyone because I couldn't risk a word of it getting leaked and jeopardizing everything I had planned.”Elder Maris scoffed, I turned to her and saw her eyes were narrowed

Xander's povThe oracle stood by the door. This was unlike her, she doesn't leave her cottage unless summoned. The room fell into hushed silence as we all watched her walk to the front of the room.“Thane, Garrick and Maris.” She started. “You will not lay a finger on a single hair on that child's head.” She ordered.“Or-oracle.” Garrick stuttered giving her a bow. “What brings you here? This is a simple matter.”“It is not a simple matter. It is far greater than every single one of us in this room— and the realm as a whole.” She said, “Leave Ava alone.”“Why?” Maris snapped. “Ever since that human stepped foot in this castle things have changed and not for the better. Take a look at Xander, he hurt his own people and has been slacking in his duties.”“The wheel of fate has been spun, everything is now set into motion. Many threads of destiny have been knotted together, a story that cannot be undone has been made. Each choice and action taken henceforth, is a step closer to the inevit

Xander's povI ran my fingers through my hair, my hands trembling slightly.“That’s the reason why my father hates me,” I said, my throat tightening. “It’s not just because I remind him of my mother or because he thinks I’m weak. It’s because he blames me for her death.”Ava’s brows furrowed in confusion. “But you said that she died from childbirth complications after the rogue attack. How could that be your fault?”I let out a dry laugh, it sounded hollow and filled with pain. I regret everything that happened till this day, her death would forever haunt me.I let out a bitter laugh, the sound hollow and filled with pain. “Because I was the reason she was in the forest that day. I begged her to come with me.”Her eyes widened, and I could see the shock and sympathy warring within her.“It was a beautiful summer day,” I said, my voice distant as my mind flashed back to the memory. “The sun was shining, the air was filled with the scent of jasmine and lavender— my mother's favorites af

Xander’s POVI watched as her chest rose and fell asleep. She slept peacefully. She had exhausted herself while comforting me.I brushed a piece of her hair away from her face before standing up and walking to the door. I wasn't sure if she'd appreciate me being there when she woke up so it was best for me to leave.Casting one last glance at her sleeping figure, I opened the door and walked out. Today had been mentally draining, I didn't have the energy to focus on pack work so I quickly had dinner then went to bed.The next day….The sun has just begun to rise, peaking about the horizon, bathing the castle and the pack grounds with its golden glow. I stood on my balcony, looking at the view before me and thinking about my plans for the day.Everything Ava did for me the day before still lingered in my mind. She deserved something special, she has given me much more than I have ever given her. She was a treasure that I was lucky to have been blessed with.So, I decided to take her to

Xander's pov)We spent the rest of the morning eating, talking, laughing, and sharing childhood memories. Ava told me a lot about her childhood—her favorite memories, her struggles, and the little things that made her happy. I made sure to note every single detail down in my mind.“I used to climb trees all the time,” she said, her voice filled with nostalgia and eyes distant as she transported back to the period of the memory, mentally. “There was this one tree in the village square that was taller than all the others. Everyone always wondered how it managed to thrive so well in the harsh climate, I guess it was just determined to survive at all cost.”“Just like you. You're the bravest person I know.” I said.She blushed again. “Anyway, one day my friends dared me to climb it, and of course, I couldn’t back down from such a challenge. I climbed it despite how difficult it was, I made it to the top, but then I couldn’t get down.”I laughed, imagining a younger version of Ava stuck at

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

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
THE ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN MATE Chapter 179
Xander's povThe words from its mouth sent a chill down my spine but I clenched my jaw, refusing to show fear. My grip tightened on my blade as I stepped forward, locking eyes with the towering figure that lurked in the darkness in front of us.The red eyes of the Nyx Wraiths burned like embers in the night. The Hellhounds stalker along at the edges of the trees, low growls reverberating through the battlefield. The Revenants stood unnaturally still, their decayed bodies could be seen due to the flickering torches we had lit behind us.Outside Ashville it was day but in here, Zerathos' corruption had seeped so much into the land that it was night.I could feel the tension in my army—thousands of wolves behind me, armed and ready strike justification waiting for my command.The figure in the darkness stepped forward and shadows seeped it off its body like ink on paper or smoke in the wind.It is as a General. I could tell by the way it carried itself that it wasn't a regular foot soldi
THE ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN MATE Chapter 178
Xander's povThe scent of damp earth, ash and frost clung to the air as we neared Ashville’s border. The heat had lessened slightly due to the change in seasons but it could still be felt slightly.The trees stood tall and lifeless, their branches clawing at the sky like skeletal fingers. The land here was darker, heavier—tainted by Zerathos’ growing influence.But we weren’t alone.As we got over the final hill the sight that waited us knocked the breath out of me.Wolves. Thousands of them.They were stretched across the valley in a vast sea of warriors, their bodies gleaming in the dim morning light. They came from all nine packs, their banners flapping in the wind, colors blending into what looked like a tapestry of unity.I recognized them by their crests— rainville, iron claw, blood Moon, silver claw, storm fang, thornspike, wild heart, night shade and lastly, Ashville.Their Alphas stood at the front of each battalion, their warriors behind them, waiting.Waiting for me.Ava s

Xander's povBy the time we reached our camp, the sky had begun to lighten, the first hints of dawn were peeking above the horizon. The rest of our warriors and allies were already awake, their stance ready with their weapons drawn and a hard expression on their faces.Ava was the first to approach us, her sharp eyes sweeping over me, searching for injuries.“You’re okay,” she murmured, relief flickering in her eyes.I nodded. “The attack was successful. We wiped them out.”She exhaled, glancing at the boy we had captured. “And him? Who's that?”“A survivor.” I locked eyes with her. “He’s going to talk.”Ava studied him for a moment, her expression unreadable. Then she turned back to me. “You should rest.”“There’s no time.” I pulled off my bloodied cloak and tossed it aside. “We move at nightfall.”She frowned. “Xander—”“I’m fine.” My voice was firm, leaving no room for argument.Ava pressed her lips into a thin line in annoyance, but she didn’t push further. Instead, she turned to

Xander's povThe night was thick with tension, the air cold against my skin as we moved swiftly through the trees. My breathing was steady and controlled while my heart pounded fast in anticipation of what was to come..The rebel camp was close.Kael moved beside me, silent as a shadow, his bow already drawn. Rowan and Vanessa followed closely behind, their weapons glinting under the moonlight. The rest of our warriors fanned out, forming a perimeter to ensure no one escaped.We had the element of surprise.And I intended to use it.***The rebel camp was in a clearing deep in the forest, it was half hidden between fallen logs and makeshift tents. Smoke rose lazily from dying fires and the scent of burning wood, meat and unwashed bodies filled the air.There were at least fifteen of them, maybe more.Some were seated near the fire, speaking in hushed tones, while others patrolled lazily along the edges of their camp. They seemed like a lowly group in the rebel force because they didn'

Ava's povThe journey to Ashville was long and grueling. The warriors rode in tense silence as the weight of the upcoming battle pressed down on all of us. The further we traveled, the darker the skies became. In the short time since we had last been here, I could tell that a lot had changed.Soon, the sun began to set so we needed to find a place to stop and rest.“We’ll set up camp here,” Xander announced, coming to a stop on his horse. He turned to Kael and Rowan. “Get the warriors settled. We move again at first light.”Kael and Rowan nodded, immediately splitting off to give out orders.The camp was set up quickly—tents were set up, fires were lit and some of the warriors were assigned as patrol. But before we could settle down to rest, we had one more critical task to do.Kaida, Lyra, and I worked together to set up the enchanted wards around the perimeter of our camp. Unlike regular protective spells, these ones were specifically designed to cut off Zerathos' powers from reachi
THE ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN MATE Chapter 174
Ava's povNo one moved.Xander’s muscles were tense, ready to strike, but even he hesitated.Rowan gritted his teeth. “From who?”The Revenant’s lips curled, a grotesque imitation of a smile. “From your future king.”I couldn't even speak due to the shook at what I was witnessing and hearingZerathos.The Revenant raised a clawed hand, black veins pulsing beneath its skin. A scroll appeared in its grasp out of nowhere, the paper looking older than time itself.“You will take this,” it rasped. “Or I will carve it into your bones.”Vanessa snarled, stepping forward. “We could kill you where you stand.”The Revenant turned its head, its gaze locking onto her. “Try.”Shadows wrapped around its form like living creatures, pulsing with darkness and a black flame that made the room impossibly daker.I swallowed hard.This thing—this messenger—was made of darkness. We could fight it, but it would not be an easy battle.Xander reached out, eyes never leaving the Revenant as he took the scroll
