Chapter Fifty-nine

Hunter’s POV

I stood by the window of my office, staring out at the horizon, where the forest and mountains loomed in the distance.

My hands clenched into fists at my sides, a familiar reflex action of mine, the weight of everything Faelen had told us pressing down on my chest.

Steeprock, backed by Belladonna. All part of Alpha Zodd’s plan to conquer all territories.

Of course. I should’ve seen it. All the signs were there, but I had been too wrapped up in my own pride and feelings to connect the dots.

Faelen had been playing me from the start, true, but now, knowing what she’d told me, the lines between truth and deceit were blurred.

Did she genuinely care about me, or was she just trying to save herself from being caught up in the destruction of our pack?

Caleb walked into the room, his face as grim as I felt inside. We hadn’t spoken much since we left the dungeons after seeing Faelen.

He trusted her enough to consider her warning, but I wasn’t so sure.

The Steeprock pack had launched their assault.My heart pounded in my chest as I scrambled to my feet, gripping the bars of my cell. I could hear footsteps rushing past the dungeon entrance, the sounds of men shouting orders. Hunter’s pack was caught off guard. This wasn’t supposed to happen so soon, I felt. But that had been the plan all along.My stomach twisted in fear, for Hunter, Caleb, and everyone else in Howle Wulf.And here I was, locked away while everything I’d tried to prevent was happening right above me.I paced around in my cell, thinking quickly. I couldn’t just sit here and do nothing. Hunter might hate me, but I couldn’t let him and his people fall.Not like this. I had to fin

The victory, though hard earned, felt heavy on my chest.We had planned in secret, just as Caleb and I had discussed.

    Chapter Sixty-twoHunter’s POV After the battle, when the dust had finally settled and the pack began rebuilding what had been lost, I knew it was time to face Faelen again, this time to get the full truth.Indeed her warning had saved us, and her actions had earned her a place in the pack’s good graces, but I needed to hear it all from her. I had to understand why she had been with us, pretending, when she came from Belladonna. Just really why she was here.I ordered for her to be brought to my office. This time, it wasn’t an interrogation. I wanted to hear her side of the story.When she entered the room, her face was calm, but I could see the weight of everything she carried in her eyes.She stood before me, beautiful as ever, her hands clasped in front of her, waiting for me to speak.“Faelen,” I began, my voice steady but firm. “I think it’s time you explain everything… why you were sent here, how you said Belladonna manipulated you.”She hesitated, her eyes shifting with a hin

    Chapter Sixty-threeFaelen’s POV The room I’d been given was larger than any I’d ever slept in, with high windows that let in the early morning light and soft sheets covering the bed.It still felt unreal, standing here in my own chamber within the estate, no longer a servant sneaking around the halls, but a guest of the Alpha himself.Just days before, I was a spy posing as a servant, then a prisoner in the dungeons. Now, here I was, in a place I’d once only dared to glance at from afar.As I sank onto the bed, a wave of relief washed over me, and for the first time in what felt like ages, I slept peacefully that night, free from worry about who might find me or what punishment awaited me next.The next morning, I woke up to a quiet knock at my door. Blinking my eyes in confusion, my first instinct was to jump, thinking it was the head maid coming to wake me like she did in the servants’ quarters.I was half ready to jump up and get to work before I remembered… I wasn’t there anymor

I felt lighter than I had in weeks, filled with a strange mix of calm and joy that only Hunter seemed to inspire.The bond between us, whatever it was, had only deepened. Every touch, every brush of his hand, felt as if he were somehow a part of me.Hunter walked me to my room, his steps slowing as we reached the door. He seemed ready to say goodbye, his hand hovering at his side.I could feel the tension in him, that same heat hanging in my chest… and building between my legs. My heart beat faster that ever.Knowing exactly what I wanted, even though nervous about it, I spoke. “Hunter,” I said softly, my voice influenced by the loud thumping of my heart. “Would you… would you like to come in?”His eyes lit up immediately. He the hesitated a little, his eyes narrowing slightly, as if he was weighing a decision.I could see him battling with himself, but he took a breath, then nodded. “Alright

    Chapter Sixty-fiveFaelen’s POV After our intense afternoon together, I thought the day couldn’t hold any more surprises, but as evening came, I found the estate bustling with preparations for a dinner Hunter had promised. Everywhere I turned, people were rushing about, arranging flowers, polishing and setting tables.The energy in the air felt different, and I couldn’t help but feel it was all a little strange… like this dinner was somehow just meant for me.I tried to help, slipping into the dining hall to see if I could lend a hand, but Caleb quickly intercepted me.He crossed his arms by the doorway, giving me a stern look that didn’t quite match the grin on his lips.“Faelen,” he said, “tonight isn’t about you helping anyone. Let us take care of things. Hunter wanted everything to be perfect. He wanted you to relax and enjoy your moment.”I hesitated, feeling a little strange about it. All this effort just for me felt… extravagant. But Caleb just shook his head with a smile.“T

A sense of discomfort suddenly ran through me as I adjusted the collar.It was an unfamiliar feeling settling in my chest. I’d never felt the need to present myself this way for anyone before.Yet here I was, preparing for a dinner where Faelen would be the guest of honor, and somehow, it felt awkward.What the hell is wrong with me? I thought, running a hand over my face.I usually appeared anywhere with authority and confidence. But this was different… this felt personal.I shook my head, pushing the nerves aside, and stepped out of my chambers. I sighed as I closed the door behind me and walked.The dark corridor and stairs led me toward the dining hall, where I could a

    Chapter Sixty-sevenFaelen’s POV As the laughter and chatter from the dinner filled the air, I couldn’t shake off the discomfort of the dress hugging my body.It was beautiful, a deep shade of blue that seemed to complement my hair, but every time I moved, I felt it tighten around me, making it hard to breathe.I needed a moment away from the table, a chance to gather myself and take a breath. Excusing myself from the lively conversation, I slipped out of the dining hall.Just as I turned to head towards the nearby restroom, I bumped into Caleb. He was leaning casually against the wall, a soft smile on his lips.“Faelen,” he said, his eyes brightening as they went over me. “You look absolutely stunning in that dress.”“Thank you, but I can barely breathe in it,” I admitted, giving a small laugh, hoping to mask my discomfort.Caleb chuckled. “You’ll get used to it. Besides, you’re supposed to look like a princess tonight. That’s the point.”I smiled back, but inside I felt strange. I

It was as if the world had shifted, and everything I had known, everything I had feared, had been replaced by something entirely new… a future I had never dared imagine.I woke up next to Hunter every morning, and with each passing day, it felt more and more like a dream.I could hardly believe that I, Faelen… the girl who had once been a slave, a spy, a tool for manipulation… was now beside him.I hadn’t expected any of it. I thought, perhaps, that I would remain on the fringes of his world, a pawn in the game, but Hunter had changed that.He had proven his loyalty to me, time and again, and I had returned it with all my heart. We were one with each other, in a way that felt right.We were connected… living side by side, laughing together, even sharing those quiet moments that spoke a lot without a single word.Since the night of the celebration of victory, I

Belladonna had fallen, and as the dust settled, the tension that had gripped the air for so long began to lift.I watched as my men moved across the battlefield, taking stock of the damage, collecting the fallen, and securing the area.The victory was ours, but It was Faelen’s plan, her intelligence, that had truly turned the tide. Without her, we wouldn’t have been in the position to strike when we did.It didn’t take long for the survivors to come to us… the harmless members of the pack, who had also suffered from Zodd’s cruelty no doubt.Raid, Faelen’s friend was among them. I had promised Faelen the chance to reunite with her best friend earlier, and now I had.I knew it would be an emotional moment for both of them, I couldn’t help but watch closely, watching Faelen walk towards Raid, a soft smile on her face as they locked eyes.There was an exchange, too quiet for me to hear, but I didn’t need to know the words.

    Chapter Seventy-sevenHunter’s POV Finally, the day had come.We were ready. Faelen and I stood at the head of the army as we prepared for the surprise attack on Belladonna.The air was thick with anticipation, but there was something more that made me feel confident in the plan we’d set in motion.Faelen had laid it out so carefully, and her insights had changed everything. For once, I felt sure that we would strike the right blow at the right time.I had always been a leader who trusted in my warriors, but there was something different about this attack.It wasn’t just my warriors who we depended on to make the difference. It was Faelen. Her knowledge of Zodd, his tactics, his weaknesses… it had made this possible.I trusted her more than anyone, and though we had never fully spoken of it, I could feel the bond between us growing stronger. Not just as leaders, but as something more.The moon hung low in the sky, the light spilling across the darkened trees. The forest was quiet, li

    Chapter Seventy-sixHunter’s POV After the breakfast, we barely made it to the office when I sent a message for Caleb to join us soon.But now, as I watched Faelen move slowly around the room, her gaze resting on the framed photographs on the walls, my mind shifted completely from any strategy session.There was something about the way she stood there, her fingers grazing the edges of a picture, her expression lost in thought, that stirred something deep in me.If I’d known she’d come looking for me last night, I’d have returned the second I finished at the stables.The thought of her waiting, wondering where I was, brought a flash of desire that caught me off guard.My chest tightened, and before I knew it, I was crossing the room, unable to resist the pull any longer.Sliding my arms around her waist, I pulled her to me, and she spun in my hold, her wide eyes meeting mine.Before she could say a word, I pressed my lips to hers, pouring everything I felt into the kiss.

  • The Alpha's Forbidden Omega   Jealous

    Chapter Seventy-fiveFaelen’s POV The morning sun streamed through my window, pulling me from the light, restless sleep I’d managed to catch after a night filled with endless thoughts.My mind picked up exactly where it had left off, circling around Hunter’s absence, the plan I wanted to share, and, undeniably, the burning question of where he’d been.I knew he was more than capable of taking care of himself, but a strange feeling had clawed at me through the night.And worse… some jealous part of my mind whispered that maybe he’d spent the night with someone else.Hunter was, after all, a powerful and desirable Alpha. Every woman in the pack seemed to orbit around him, from the noble daughters of allied families to the giggling servants.As much as I tried to shrug it off, the thought stuck. I wasn’t exactly one of his official “consorts,” and though we shared something far deeper than just passion, there had never been talk of loyalty or commitment.But the idea of him with someone

    Chapter Seventy-fourFaelen’s POV That night, I lay in bed, turning over every possibility in my mind, knowing Alpha Zodd wouldn’t let his recent defeat here go unanswered.I couldn’t shake the thought that he’d already heard of my defection. Someone must have informed him by now, and I knew the rage he’d feel.I could even almost picture it… Zodd’s eyes blazing, his infamous rage twisting his face as he unleashed his anger on anyone nearby.I used to stay far from his wrath, feeling an instinctive survival need to avoid setting him off, yet now, the very idea of him made me feel only disgust.I wondered how I had spent so much of my life under him, convincing myself I could tolerate it, or that it was simply the way things were.And now, lying in the safety of the Howle Wulf pack, I felt something I’d barely dared to hope for back in Belladonna… a fierce gladness that I’d escaped.I knew I might have stayed in Zodd’s shadow forever, accepting his cruelty, believing I had no choice.

    Chapter Seventy-threeHunter’s POVSeated alone in my office that morning, I tried to focus on the endless papers spread across my desk, yet all my mind seemed capable of doing was going back to last night with Faelen.A faint smile tugged at my lips as I recalled every detail… the way her hair fell in waves across the pillow, her soft laughs, the warmth of her body against mine.I’d left her early, quietly slipping out to keep up appearances and make it to the office without drawing attention. But the memory lingered, a welcome distraction from my usual routine.The door creaked open, and I looked up to see Caleb stepping inside, his expression serious. My smile faded as I straightened, noting the urgency in his eyes.“What’s going on, Caleb?” I asked, gesturing for him to come in.He closed the door behind him and stepped forward. “I have news from the scouts and spies,” he began, his voice low and wary. “The Belladonna Pack… They’re regrouping for another attack.“What?” I asked, r

    Chapter Seventy-twoHunter’s POV Waking up in Faelen’s bed, I lay still for a moment, letting the early morning sun which pierced through the window settle over us. The warmth of Faelen’s body beside me was a reminder of the steamy night we’d shared, every detail printed into my mind.Her bare shoulder peeked out from under the sheets, her red hair spilling around her face like fire against her pillow.Laying there, she looked almost unreal, soft and breathtaking… like an angel… in her sleep.My fingers itched to reach out to her again, but I held back, not wanting to disturb the rare peace that she had in this moment.Slowly, I shifted, slipping out of the bed with a careful, measured silence. I gathered my clothes and moved away slightly.I glanced over at her every few seconds, as if to check that she was still there, that last night hadn’t been some hazy dream.As I pulled my shirt over my shoulders, I couldn’t help but recall the warmth of her touch against my skin, or the swee

    Chapter Seventy-one Faelen’s POV When Hunter shared his decision to make me a full member of the pack, my first instinct was disbelief.I couldn’t quite grasp that he meant it, that he was willing to trust me so deeply despite everything I’d done.All I managed was a quiet, breathless thank you, hoping he could see just how much his faith in me mattered.As he watched me, the warmth in his eyes gave me something I hadn’t felt in years…hope. For the first time, I felt like maybe I could be more than a pawn in someone else’s game.The days that followed were filled with new routines for me as I tried to settle into my place among the pack.Hunter, of course, was never far. I would find him stopping by while I helped the pack with library work, hauling supplies, or tending to small tasks around the offices.His face held that half smile of his, and sometimes he’d shake his head at me, urging me to take a break.But I couldn’t.
