The Alpha’s Forbidden obsession 32- Torn Between Desires
The next morning, sunlight streamed through the small window of my room, casting long shadows across the floor. The air felt heavy, almost oppressive, and I couldn’t shake the exhaustion that clung to me. It wasn’t just from lack of sleep—though I hadn’t managed much of that, either—it was the emotional weight of everything that had happened. The kiss, Aiden’s coldness, the way he had shoved me out of his room… it was all too much.I sat on the edge of my bed, staring blankly at the floor, my mind replaying the events of the previous day over and over again. Every time I thought about it, the emotions came rushing back—anger, hurt, confusion.How had things gotten so out of control so quickly?I didn’t want to feel like this. I didn’t want to care about Aiden, didn’t want him to have this kind of power over me. But no matter how much I tried to convince myself that I was done with him, that I wouldn’t let him hurt me again, the truth was harder to face.I cared. I cared more than I wa
The Alpha’s Forbidden obsession 33- Torn Between Desires
The day dragged on, slow and heavy, like a weight I couldn’t shake. I went through the motions, but my mind was elsewhere, consumed by thoughts of Aiden, of the bond, of everything Marcus had said. I couldn’t focus on anything else.By the time night fell, I was exhausted—emotionally, mentally, physically. I wanted to sleep, to escape the thoughts swirling in my head, but I knew it wouldn’t come easily. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw his face, heard his voice, felt the ghost of his touch. It was maddening.I lay in bed, staring up at the ceiling, my mind replaying every interaction we’d had. From the moment we met, it had been a whirlwind of tension, anger, and confusion. I had spent so much time trying to understand him, trying to figure out why he was the way he was. And now, it felt like I was finally starting to see the truth.He wasn’t just angry. He was scared. Scared of what the bond meant, scared of losing control, scared of… me.But where did that leave us? Where did that
The Alpha’s Forbidden obsession 34- The Breaking Point
The moment Aiden said, "This conversation is over," something inside me snapped. I had tried. I had come to him with the hope that maybe, just maybe, if we sat down and talked like two reasonable people, we could find some middle ground. We could stop this constant pushing and pulling, the endless cycle of confusion and pain.But I was wrong. So wrong.I stared at him, feeling the weight of my exhaustion settle deep into my bones. I was so tired. Tired of fighting with him, tired of being kept in the dark, tired of being treated like I was just some weak human who didn’t deserve to know the truth.With a deadened expression, I spoke, my voice low but firm. “I thought maybe if we sat and talked face to face, things could go a different way. Maybe we could come to a common ground, but I guess I was wrong.”Aiden’s jaw tightened, his eyes narrowing slightly, but he said nothing. He just stood there, his arms crossed over his chest, like a fortress guarding something he didn’t want me to
The Alpha’s Forbidden obsession 35- A Taste of Freedom
Two weeks had passed since that last conversation with Aiden, and in those two weeks, neither of us had spoken a single word to each other. The tension between us hung in the air, thick and unyielding, and I had grown tired of it. If he wasn’t going to trust me, if he wasn’t going to tell me anything, then I wouldn’t bother disturbing him either. What was the point?The frustration I felt toward him had slowly morphed into a kind of resigned acceptance. If Aiden wanted to shut me out, I wouldn’t fight him on it anymore. I was done trying to reach out, done hoping that things could be different between us. The kiss, the arguments, the endless back-and-forth… it had drained me completely.This morning was no different from any other. I woke up, went through my morning routine, and tried to push all thoughts of Aiden out of my mind. It was easier now, easier to ignore the lingering emotions that pulled at me whenever I thought about him. I didn’t allow myself to dwell on what had happene
The Alpha’s Forbidden obsession 36- The Stranger in the Woods
I started walking back to the mansion, my steps heavy with the weight of my thoughts. The short walk outside had been a brief escape, but it wasn’t enough. It hadn’t cleared the frustration that had been building inside me for weeks. I was still angry—angry at Aiden, angry at myself, angry at everything that had happened.But what could I do? Going back inside the mansion felt like admitting defeat, like letting Aiden win this battle of wills. I wanted to hold onto the small sense of freedom I had found, even if it was fleeting.As I neared the mansion, the familiar rustling sound came from behind me again. I sighed, assuming it was just another small animal like before. I’d let my nerves get the better of me earlier, jumping at the sight of a harmless rabbit. I wasn’t going to let it happen again.But this time, the rustling didn’t stop.I froze in my tracks, listening intently as the sound continued, this time louder, more persistent. My heart skipped a beat as I turned slowly towar
The Alpha’s Forbidden obsession 37- The Temptation of Escape
I stood there, frozen in shock, staring at Luke. The words he had just spoken echoed in my mind.“You were kidnapped,” Luke said again, his voice calm but insistent. “Taken from the orphanage without your consent.”The world seemed to tilt around me, and for a moment, I couldn’t breathe. My mind raced back to the night Aiden had taken me, to the way he had pulled me into his world without explanation, without warning. I had been confused, scared.“How do you know that?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper. My heart pounded in my chest, fear and confusion swirling inside me like a storm. “How do you know what happened to me?”Luke’s eyes softened, and he took a step closer, his voice lowering as if he were sharing a secret. “I’ve been watching, Isabella. I know what’s been happening to you. I know that you were taken from the orphanage, and I know that you didn’t ask for any of this.”I shook my head, trying to wrap my mind around what he was saying. “But… how do you know all of t
The Alpha’s Forbidden obsession 38- The Temptation of Escape
His words hung in the air between us, and I felt the weight of them settle over me. It sounded so tempting, so simple. But deep down, I knew it wasn’t. Nothing with Aiden was simple.Still, the thought of seeing my mother, of easing her worry, was too strong to ignore. I had caused her so much pain already, had left her in the dark without any answers. She deserved to know that I was alive, that I was okay.Luke must have sensed my hesitation because he stepped even closer, his voice low and persuasive. “Think about it, Isabella,” he said softly. “Your mother is sick. She’s worried about you. Don’t you want to ease her pain? Don’t you want to make things right?”I swallowed hard, my heart aching with the weight of guilt. He was right. I couldn’t just leave her like this, worrying herself sick over me. I had to do something. I had to see her, to tell her I was okay.But there was still a part of me that hesitated, a part of me that didn’t fully trust Luke. What if this was a trap? What
The Alpha’s Forbidden obsession 39- The Calm Before the Storm
The next three days were the longest of my life. Each moment felt stretched, as if time itself was mocking me, daring me to make a mistake, to slip up and reveal what I was planning. I knew I had to be careful—more careful than I had ever been. One wrong move, one hint of suspicion, and everything could fall apart. So, I made a decision. I would play the part. I would be the obedient girl Aiden expected me to be. No arguments, no resistance, no attitude. Just perfect, quiet obedience. The perfect prisoner.It was exhausting.The morning after I had made my decision with Lucas, I woke up feeling both excited and anxious. Three days. That’s all I had to endure. Just three more days of pretending before I would be gone, before I would see my mother again. I could handle three days, right?As I stood in front of the mirror, brushing my hair, I reminded myself to stay calm. To act normal. No one could know what I was planning, not even Marcus, who seemed to be more observant than I gave h
