The Alpha’s Forbidden obsession 12- No Mercy
**Isabella**The next morning comes far too quickly, the pale light of dawn creeping through the window like an unwelcome intruder. I wake up with a start, my heart still pounding from the remnants of the nightmares that plagued my sleep. My body feels heavy, as if the fear and exhaustion have settled into my bones, refusing to let go.For a moment, I just lie there, staring at the ceiling, trying to gather the strength to move. The events of last night are still fresh in my mind, like a wound that hasn’t had time to heal. I don’t know how I’m supposed to face another day, knowing what’s out there, knowing that Aiden is watching, waiting.But I can’t stay in bed forever. Eventually, someone will notice if I don’t come down for breakfast, and the last thing I need is to draw attention to myself. I need to keep up appearances, need to act like everything is normal, even if it’s the furthest thing from the truth.With a groan, I force myself to sit up, wincing as the pain in my arm flare
The Alpha’s Forbidden obsession 13- No Mercy
The last day and night had been eerily quiet. Aiden didn’t show up, didn’t whisper threats in the dark, didn’t do anything at all. It was unsettling at first—his absence gnawed at me, leaving me on edge, waiting for the other shoe to drop. But as the hours stretched into the next day, that edge began to dull, replaced by a cautious, fragile hope.Maybe—just maybe—he’d lost interest. Maybe I was safe.That small, desperate thought took root, and by the time the morning light began to filter through my window, it had grown into something I almost dared to believe. I got out of bed feeling lighter, almost normal, like I could actually start to piece my life back together. Maybe I could go back to my daily routine, go back to being just another girl in the orphanage. I prayed silently that this peace would last, that the nightmare was finally over.For the first time in what felt like ages, I smiled as I got dressed, the weight of fear lifting just a little. I caught a glimpse of myself i
The Alpha’s Forbidden obsession 14- The Revelation
I woke with a start, gasping for breath as I bolted upright. My eyes darted around, trying to make sense of my surroundings. But nothing was familiar. The small, cramped room where I had cried myself to sleep last night was gone, replaced by an expansive chamber that felt both grand and suffocating. The walls were lined with dark wood paneling, and heavy drapes hung from towering windows that let in only the faintest sliver of light. The ceiling stretched high above, adorned with intricate carvings that seemed to twist and turn in the dim light, like something out of a nightmare.My heart pounded in my chest as I pushed the covers off, my feet hitting the cold, hard floor. I had no memory of how I got here, no recollection of leaving the room where Aiden had tormented me the night before. Panic set in, tightening around my throat like a vice. My breathing became erratic as I stumbled to the nearest door, my hands trembling as I fumbled with the handle.Locked.I pulled harder, my fing
The Alpha’s Forbidden obsession 15- The Curse of Fate
The moment I left Isabella’s room, I felt the weight of the decision I’d been forced to make. Each step I took down the long, dimly lit corridor echoed in the silence, a constant reminder of the burden that now rested on my shoulders. The mansion, my sanctuary, now felt like a gilded cage—no longer a place of solace, but a prison for the both of us.She was my mate. The moment I found this I was so beyond shocked. I couldn’t comprehend with the reality. But when I left her last night I realised what it meant when the pendant around her necklace shined. What was it all about.The very thought made my blood boil with rage. How could fate be so cruel? Of all the beings in this world, why was I cursed with a weak, powerless human as my mate? I clenched my fists, my nails digging into my palms as I fought the urge to lash out. The anger that simmered within me was barely contained, threatening to erupt at any moment.I hated humans. They were the reason my parents were dead, the reason I h
The Alpha’s Forbidden obsession 16- Bound by Fate
**Isabella**I paced the length of the room, my feet sinking into the plush carpet with each step, though the softness offered no comfort. The air felt heavy, thick with tension that wasn’t just in my mind but all around me. I could still feel Aiden’s presence lingering, even though he had stormed out hours ago. His anger, his disgust—it clung to the walls like a shadow, making it impossible to breathe.I wrapped my arms around myself, my thoughts a whirlwind. Mate. He’d called me his mate, and the word rattled in my brain like a loose, unwelcome stone. I didn’t understand any of it. How could I be bound to him, this cold, angry creature who hated me for reasons I couldn’t comprehend?I wanted answers, but I feared them just as much. The truth was often more terrifying than the unknown.A knock at the door startled me, the sound sharp in the otherwise quiet room. My heart jumped into my throat, but I forced myself to remain still.The door creaked open, revealing a tall man I hadn’t s
The Alpha’s Forbidden obsession 17- The Weight of the Bond
I sat on the floor for what felt like hours, my back pressed against the wall, knees drawn up to my chest. The tears had long since dried on my cheeks, leaving behind only the numb ache of helplessness. The world I had known—everything I had believed to be real—was shattered beyond recognition. I was bound to a creature of the night, to a man who despised me, and no amount of tears could change that.The room felt colder now, as though Aiden’s presence had sucked all the warmth from the air, leaving behind only shadows and silence. My mind kept replaying Marcus’s words over and over again.**Aiden is a werewolf. You are his mate. You are safe.**Safe. I didn’t feel safe. I felt like a caged bird, trapped in a world I didn’t understand, with no way out. My thoughts spiraled, grasping for answers, for a way to escape the bond that held me. But every time I tried to think of a solution, I came back to the same haunting reality: there was no escape. The bond was unbreakable, and I was tie
The Alpha’s Forbidden obsession 18- The Weight of the Bond
I stared at him, my heart pounding in my chest. “I’m not... a thing you can claim,” I whispered, my voice trembling. “I’m a person.”Aiden’s jaw clenched, his eyes burning with fury, but beneath that fury, I caught a glimpse of something else. It was brief, a flicker of uncertainty, almost like he was fighting some internal battle that even he didn’t fully understand. His fists clenched tighter, and for a moment, I thought he might lash out, but he didn’t.Instead, he took a step back, his expression hardening once again. “You’re right,” he said through gritted teeth. “You’re not a thing. But the bond... it doesn’t care about what either of us wants.”I stayed silent, watching him closely, trying to understand the war raging inside him. Every word that left his mouth was filled with anger, with bitterness, but there was something else too. Something deeper that he refused to let me see.“And what does that mean?” I asked, trying to keep my voice steady. “What does the bond mean for me
The Alpha’s Forbidden obsession 19- A Dangerous Game
The air in the mansion felt stifling, thick with tension that hadn’t dissipated since Aiden left the room hours ago. My heart still pounded in my chest, but it wasn’t just fear anymore. There was something else—something dark, dangerous, and undeniable—something that gnawed at the edges of my thoughts and refused to let me rest.I knew I couldn’t just sit here and wait for Aiden to storm back into my life whenever he pleased, throwing his anger at me like daggers. If this was my world now, I needed to understand it, and if there was one thing I’d learned from all of this, it was that Aiden was not the only force at play here.My skin itched with the need for answers. I needed to know what I was up against—who else might be lurking in the shadows of this mansion or watching me from the depths of the forest beyond.But before I could act, the door creaked open, and Marcus stepped inside once again. His expression was unreadable, though I could sense a quiet urgency in the way he moved.
