THE ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN MATE Chapter 88
Xander's povA group of rebels armed with the new weapons concerned Magnus and Draven never the barracks. Magnus was strong and holding his ground against them but Draven looked cornered with his back pressed against the wall of the castle.I rushed over to them, tearing any one who stepped in my path. I lunged at the rogue closest to Draven, the unexpected movement made the weapon fall out of his hand and clatter to the ground. I wasted no time in crushing it under my paw then tearing into his shoulder. The sickening sound of crunching bones was like music to my ears.Ava wasn't far behind as she ran past me and lunged at another rebel. He pulled out a dagger attempting to cut her but she dodged effortlessly, her jaw clamping around his wrist with a ferocious growl.More rebels poured into the courtyard, forcing us to fall back. They were more coordinated than before, their attacks synchronized as if being puppeteer by someone we couldn't see.They knew our defenses well and effortle

Xander's povI know the keeper said not everyone could find the chamber but Magnus knowing was bad enough.The attack wasn't just about killing us, it was a diversion. Their goal was the chamber.I shifted to my human form in an instant."Magnus!" I roared, he spared me a quick glance, eyes wide before retreating with the rebel into the chaos.Ava grabbed my arm. "What is it?""They're after the chamber," I snarled. "We have to stop them!”We tried to chase but lost them.“Let's check the chamber.” Ava said, voice filled with urgency.“Wait.” I stopped her. “What if that's what they want? They could be lingering, waiting to see where exactly it's hidden and how to get in.”Ava was silent as she pondered my words. Suddenly, her eyes went blank then it returned to normal.“Aria said she knows what to do.” Ava said then her eyes became electric as Aria took over.She reached out her hands and lightning shot out forming a wall at the entrance of the hallway so no one would see or pass thr

Xander's povGarrick held up a hand, silencing the audience. “That's not why we're here. We summoned you both for answers. During the battle with the rebels we all witnessed something… unnatural .” His eyes flickered to Ava briefly. “The human shifted into a wolf. How?”The murmurs were louder this time.Maris leaned forward, hands clasped in front of her and her expression suspicious. “And not only did she shift into a wolf, she shifted into a white one. That has never been seen or heard of in the entire history of Lycara— not even among the ancient bloodlines.”Thane suddenly slammed his fist on the table. “What sorcery is this? Is she a threat to us?”Leo snarled inside me but I claimed him, the last thing we needed was Leo going crazy and repeating the history with Vanessa and her friends. I stepped forward and addressed him, my voice cold and unwavering.“She is no threat,” I snapped. “If anything, she’s the reason we’re still standing. Without her, this castle would’ve fallen. S

Xander's povBut she wasn't done.Slowly, she turned to face the crowd. Her eyes swept over the crowd. The truth wasn't just directed at the council but at everyone present. The novels, the warriors, the guards, the pack members and servants as it concerned everyone.“I have had enough of the lies. I have tried to hold on to the truth for a little longer but today, I can't anymore.” Ava began. “The war— the one you have all been taught, the one that shaped our current society is a lie.”She casted a sharp glance at Garrick. “You said Xander was telling a tale right? You should be ashamed of yourself, you and the rest of the councils joined your ancestors in spreading ‘tales’ all these years.”“What insolence!” Garrick roared, slamming his fist on the already cracked table.“Shut your mouth!” This time, it was Aria who commanded it. Her voice carried so much power that I stumbled back as the force of the command hit me even though I wasn't the one it was directed at.All the wolves tit

Xander's povAfter Ava's outburst in the council's chamber there has been a sudden silence in the pack as everyone was still reeling from the shock of her revelation.I had heard some rumours about a little uprising growing not only in blackthorn but in the other packs as well. I would have to figure them out later.Right now we're still rebuilding the castle. But as we worked to med everything that has been destroyed, something kept bothering me. Like I was forgetting something important.I tried to remember what it was but couldn't. I tried shaking off the feeling but it kept disturbing me, that something had been left unfinished.One day, it hit me. Like a cold slap to my face.The rogues we had captured.They had been rotting in the dungeons, forgotten, since they had been captured during the ambush weeks ago and more had been captured during the castle attacks. We had more than enough to interrogate. Due to all the chaos, I had completely forgotten.Finally, I had a means of gett

Xander's povI clenched the paper in anger. He had been leaking a lot of information right under our noses.I continued to check the crate and found more detailed letters talking about Ava, me, the warriors, patrol shifts, enforcers, warriors that had been sent out of the pack undercover, details on the other pack. Everything.I also found a map with symbols I didn't recognize. It had coordinates to parts in the realm I had never bothered with and some parts that I knew of.Parts that Magnus was in charge of and told me lies about. More hideouts that were right under my nose but I had failed to see.I cursed as I realized how well Magnus had played everything out. He was highly intelligent.One thing still bothered me. Why?Before I could study the map, one of the scouts we had positioned at the base of the cliff burst into the cave, his face pale from the cold and his breathing ragged."Alpha," he gasped, nearly collapsing in front of me.I grabbed his arm, steadying him. "What is it

Xander's povThe pool was small enough to indicate that it wasn't a fatal wound but it was enough to make my stomach drop.Her scent was all around it so there was no denying it.I scanned the area looking for any trace of Lyra or Magnus then I spotted an arrow in a tree with a note at its tip.I snatched it off, hands trembling with barely controlled rage.“If you want her back, come find me. But be quick, Xander. She’s running out of time.”Magnus.A growl escaped me as rage as hot as kava coursed through me.Roman dropped to his knees near the pool of blood. His face filled with fear, sadness and anger.Yes, she was my sister as well but she was his twin. Always by his side since they were in our mother's womb. They were one soul in two bodies.I felt a pang in my chest as I remembered my mother. I had vowed to protect her babies and now, one had been taken from under my nose because I had been too occupied to keep an eye on them. I felt like a failure.“They took her,” Rowan whisp

Xander's povNow, he was using the ghost of my past that had haunted me for so long, to taunt me. I crumpled the paper with a growl.Before I could let the anger consume me, I felt Ava's hand on my arm.“Xander,” she whispered, her voice soft but firm.I turned to her, my chest heaving as I took in ragged breaths. Her eyes—the most striking pair of icy blue eyes, held mine, anchoring me back to reality.“This is what he wants,” she said. “He wants to make you angry. He wants you to lose control so you’ll make mistakes.”I closed my eyes, forcing myself to take deep breaths and calm down. She was right— just like always. Magnus knew me better than anyone. He knew exactly which wounds to poke at and which scars to rip open.I dropped the crumpled note to the ground and crushed it underneath my boot. “Let's keep moving.”****More days passed.The trial was all but gone. Our leads disappearing, lost in the wind. The warriors grew restless. And I was slowly unraveling.Rowan was worse. He

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
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
THE ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN MATE Chapter 177
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
