Report
Ava Thorne never felt she could be Alpha Jackson Wolfe's mate, a merciless man. She was weak and helpless, unable to match the force and domination his pack demanded. Driven by three indisputable reasons—his pack needed a strong Luna, his desire to find an alliance with another strong Alpha through marriage, and a deep-rooted dread of vulnerability—something Ava's presence brought too near to the surface—the rejection was quick and forceful. Ava departed broken and humiliated, but she left with more than just dashed dreams. She carried his secret: twin heirs to the Blood Moon Pack developing inside her. Ava comes back five years later, no more the defenseless girl she once was. She is a mother, strong in her own right but still delicate in ways that trouble Jackson. Jackson understands too late what he threw aside as foes near and treason threaten his pack. But as he finds out about his kids, old scars come back and rivals hiding in the shadows start to stir. Jackson has to choose whether he would fight for the family he unintentionally built or let darkness take over everything considering the possibility of losing everything. Ava's life is thrown back into peril; one mistake might ruin both of them.

THE ALPHA'S FORSAKEN SECRET Chapter 054: Shadows and Secrets
Eli and I staggered along the black lane, our breaths raspy and mixing with the coolness of the night as the wind swept over her hair. Every stride seemed like a curse as much as a success. Marconi was gone, but so was any sort of protection we might have grabbed. My ideas flew, every one darker than the next. I looked at Eli; his face was pallid and his gait was heavy."You have to relax," I advised, sounding worried. Blood flowed across the improvised bandage around his side. You are bleeding way too much.He shook his head, his eyes flashing. Away from here. We have to move farther away.Though it would not make any difference, I knew he was right. Every fall, every grimace that graced his face tightened my heart. We persisted, negotiating tight spaces until we came to an abandoned warehouse. The door creaked open with a reluctance that matched our tiredness, and we stepped into the heavy air gathering in all about.Eli leaned against the wall and slid down till he was on the chill
THE ALPHA'S FORSAKEN SECRET Chapter 053: Under the Surface
Eli's POV Marconi's voice slinked across the night, spasming my spine. I made myself cool even if the weight of our situation crashed on me. Ava halted next to me, and I grasped her hand firmly. Her breath stopped Not just now; we couldn show fear.Marconi entering the dim light stated, "You have been quite the thorn in my side, Eli." His attire was beautiful, his grin predatory. To be very honest, I find it really impressive. Most people seldom remain this long.Retaining a forceful voice, I shot back, "I aim to disappoint." Every phrase was intentional, every second a chance to get away. Every minute to consider.Marconi laughed a deep, terrifying note. "Brave words for a man on the run."I went gently to sleep between Ava and him. "What then do you want, Marconi?"His eyes gleamed with entertainment. "My ideal has always been control. Eli, you have been too long meddling in my life. And today you have included this lovely woman into it. such a loss.Ava stayed rigid next to me, bu
THE ALPHA'S FORSAKEN SECRET Chapter 052: The Edge of Dishonesty
Ava's POV From the mansion, the streets melted together. My heartbeat had hardly slowed since we departed; every flicker of headlights behind us made my heart leap. Eli's jacket pocket kept the data firmly in place, but the weight of what we had done hovered about like a dense fog."Are you nice??" Eli's hands grabbing the steering wheel shattered the silence.I nodded, though the fact was far more complicated. "I'm ok." Mostly trying to catch my breath.His eyes went to the rearview mirror in search of any sign of pursuit. "We made it out," he said, as though trying to convince himself. Marconi, though, will not let this slide.I grasp. I found the weight of what we opposed returning to me. "Do you believe he realized?"Not at the moment, Eli answered, his mouth firm. "But he will shortly." The second will come for us; he discovers nothing amiss or even traces of betrayal.I drew hard, the understanding sinking in. We have to remain ahead of him then. Where from here should I be goi
THE ALPHA'S FORSAKEN SECRET Chapter 051: Into the den of the Lion
Ava's POV The weight of our plan pulled down on me as I slid into the lovely evening gown. Designed to fit Marconi's unique humanitarian occasion, it was a borrowed facade. The garment gleamed in Eli's apartment's dim light, but it seemed more like a chain binding me to this dangerous work."Are you persuaded regarding this??" Eli's voice came out from behind me, mixed with resolve and worry. Looking in the mirror at me, he adjusted the cufflinks on his tailored suit. Though I could see the tension etched in every feature of the man standing there, he seemed almost the guest."I'm sure," I said, trying to project confidence I lacked totally. We have gone too far to undo right now.He nodded and his jaw clenched. "Marconi won't slow down if he suspects anything.""I know," I said softly. Still, there's an unexpected element. He knows nothing about my arrival.This qualifies you both as an asset and a target. He came forward, his fingers lightly brushing across mine. You will do as I l
THE ALPHA'S FORSAKEN SECRET Chapter 050: Separating the Chains
Eli’s POV My secrets' weight was finally falling on me. Ava's expression betrayed both fury and loyalty, and I could see why. Believing it was safer that way, I had kept her in the dark for so long. But here she was, putting together the elements of my life I had always sought to divide."I did everything for Ava, all for you. Every danger, every lie—I was attempting to guard you, my voice unvarnished.She gave out a sour laugh. "Guard me?" By driving me into peril without even realizing it?I had replayed this scenario in my brain a thousand times, but now it was far more terrible. "I had no idea how far it would sink. When I initially became engaged with Marconi, it was straightforward. He needed someone on the inside, and I considered it as just temporary—until I had sufficient information to turn him in. But it veered out of control.Ava's eyes closed as her rage flared. Eli, you could have told me. I had a right to know."Possibly. But, as you would know, they would have sensed
THE ALPHA'S FORSAKEN SECRET Chapter 049: Uncovering Falsehood
Ava's POV Watching Eli pace the room, his expression locked between regret and something darker—probably fear—and I could not breathe. Since he began talking, he hadn't yet looked me in the eye; however, this time I was letting him evade me."So, you are telling me this has been going on for... exactly how long?" My voice hardly steady as I asked. "You concealed all this from me for years, and felt it was alright since it was for my protection?”"It was never that simple," he said at last, looking directly at me. His eyes reflected a mix of vulnerability I had never seen before and embarrassment. "I felt I could keep you out of it all and manage it. But things were increasingly difficult.I laughed, then clenched my hands. " Complicated? Eli, I have been in danger without even seeing it! Do you know how powerless that renders me?Thick with suspense, the room went still for a minute. Eli's face softened and his shoulders slumped as though he carried a weight too great for one person.
THE ALPHA'S FORSAKEN SECRET Chapter 048: Exposing Shadows
Ava's POV As I entered Eli's flat, which seemed to be a lonely, empty shell where memories persisted but warmth had long ago vanished. Knowing full well that anything I discovered may change everything, I came here seeking questions.Unspoken words were in the air as Eli slammed the door behind me. His eyes looked to be inscrutable, a stronghold of secrets apparently indestructible. I was not, however, backing down this time.Starting with "Ava," his voice a deep rumble, "I know what you're thinking.""Do you?” I drew back, crossing my arms. "Because I'm not even sure I know what I'm thinking now. I doubt even what is genuine since you have kept me in the dark for so long.He moved nearer, his face softening. "I never intended things to be this way. I reasoned I could hide it from you. I reasoned that would keep you secure.Shaking my head, I battled the need to yell. Eli, safe from what? You still won't give me the truth; I already live in the center of whatever this is.He simply s
THE ALPHA'S FORSAKEN SECRET Chapter 047: Shadows of Confusion
AVa's POV As we raced down the lonely road, the stillness in the automobile seemed more weight than it had ever done. The gloom outside appeared to push against the windows, and I could not help but believe it was crushing on us, too—wrapping up every hidden secret, every bit of truth Eli had omitted.Eli kept his eyes on the road, his jaw closed to indicate he was grappling with what he had not uttered. Years had passed between us, and throughout all that time I had never felt so far from him. Alternatively he might have just improved at concealing."Who else knows?" My voice startled the quiet and sounded more strong than I had meant. But following what I had discovered and all the falsehoods... I had to know.He looked at me momentarily then back toward the road. "It was just me and a handful of people. Ava, you were kept out of it to guard you."To guard me?" I gave out a sour laugh. "Keeping secrets just leaves me in the dark; it does not protect me, Eli."He moaned, tightening
THE ALPHA'S FORSAKEN SECRET Chapter 046: Breaking Point
Ava's POV Tension permeated the night air, and I could feel it as weight on my chest. Having Eli next to me caused both comfort and anxiety. Since I had opened the journal and perused the names, the faces, the secrets... The sensation that everything was about to fall apart had not been able to be overcome.Eli looked at me, his eyes sharp and seeking. "Ava, right now we have to move gently. Every stride counts.I nodded while a million questions flew through my head. And if we fail as well? My voice came out softer than I had planned."We then lose everything." And I am not just referring to each other. His comments had a weight that caused shivers. It was everyone entangled in this mess, all the individuals Eli had recorded in his notebook, not only the two of us at risk.I turned down once again and held it to my chest. "There are folks here I thought I could trust," I whispered. Eli, how long have you known? About them all?His darkening eyes followed his hand through his hair. L
