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
The Alpha’s Forbidden obsession 40- The Day Before
It was the last day before Aiden needed to leave, and only a day before I planned to flee with Luke. I had thought the day would pass like the others—quiet, unremarkable, just me playing the obedient role until I could slip away. But I was wrong.As I woke up that morning, the weight of everything settled on my chest. The plan was almost in motion. Tomorrow, I would leave. Tomorrow, everything would change. I reminded myself of this as I got dressed, trying to keep my nerves in check.I made my way down to the kitchen, deciding to spend this last day exactly as I had spent the previous two—keeping a low profile, doing nothing to raise suspicion. Just one more day of pretending, and I would be free.When I stepped into the kitchen, the familiar sight of Marcus sitting at the table greeted me. He was reading the newspaper, but his eyes weren’t on the print. They were on me. Watching. Observing.I could feel his gaze following me as I moved around the room, and for a moment, I hesitated,
The Alpha’s Forbidden obsession 41- The Final Morning
I couldn’t sleep at all. The entire night was spent tossing and turning, my mind spinning in circles with every possible outcome of what could happen the next day. Fear gripped me, tightening like a vice around my chest, but right beside it was something else—excitement. A strange, twisted excitement that mingled with the horror of what I was about to do.Every time I closed my eyes, I pictured my mother’s face, her worried expression as she waited for news of me. But the fear kept creeping back in. What if Aiden found out? What if he caught me before I could leave? What if Marcus saw through my act? The doubts clawed at me, turning my mind into a battlefield of conflicting emotions.I sat up in bed, staring out of the window as the moonlight streamed through the curtains. My heart pounded in my chest, and no matter how hard I tried to calm myself, the anxiety refused to let me go. The silence of the mansion was almost suffocating, each tick of the clock reminding me how close I was t
The Alpha’s Forbidden obsession 42- Tension and Distraction
Just when Marcus’s gaze seemed to narrow, and I could feel the conversation teetering on a dangerous edge, Aiden spoke up, cutting through the thick tension in the air like a blade.“Don’t tell me it’s become hard for you to keep an eye on her after only a few months?” Aiden’s voice was smooth, but there was a hint of amusement beneath it, as if he found the entire conversation to be a joke. His gaze flickered between Marcus and me, and I could feel the weight of his words settling into the silence.Marcus laughed, but it was a short, sharp sound—more forced than genuine. “Of course not,” he said, leaning back in his chair with an easy smile. “I love spending time with her.”My heart skipped a beat at his words, and I couldn’t help the way my breath caught in my throat. *What is he doing?* His eyes locked onto mine, the smile still playing on his lips, but there was something in his gaze—a warning, maybe.“Right, Isabella?” Marcus continued, his tone light but with an underlying edge.

The Alpha’s Forbidden obsession Welcome Dinner
As the sun dipped below the horizon, bathing the orphanage in hues of orange and pink, my mother stood in the doorway, her expression a mix of hesitancy and determination. “Will you both stay for dinner?” she asked, her voice carrying a hopeful note that tugged at my heart. I glanced at Aiden, expecting resistance. He was a man of particular habits, unaccustomed to impromptu changes or the chaotic warmth of my past life. But to my surprise, he nodded. “We’d love to,” he said, his voice calm and reassuring. My mother’s smile lit up her face, and something inside me unfurled—a tension I hadn’t realized I was holding. “Wonderful,” she said. “I’ll set up the dining hall.” As she turned to make preparations, I felt Aiden’s hand squeeze mine briefly. “Are you happy?” he whispered, his eyes searching mine for any sign of distress. “Yes,” I replied, more to convince myself than him. “It’ll be good to catch up with everyone.” He nodded, his gaze lingering on me a moment longer before he r

The Alpha’s Forbidden obsession The Threshold of Memories
Aiden’s hand was firm around mine, grounding me when my legs threatened to buckle under the weight of anticipation. The creak of the iron gates of the orphanage echoed through my chest, rattling my nerves. Each step felt like walking through molasses, my body betraying me despite my mind’s desperate commands to move forward.“Relax, Isabella, or you’re going to scare them,” Aiden said softly, his voice like a warm breeze cutting through the storm inside me. His lips curved into a slight smile, though I could see the undercurrent of concern in his gaze.I swallowed the lump in my throat and nodded, clutching his arm as if letting go would pull me back into the void of uncertainty. Aiden took the first step inside, and I followed, my breath hitching with every inch closer to the truth.The orphanage hadn’t changed much, at least not from what I remembered in fragments—peeling paint on the walls, the faint scent of lavender detergent that lingered in the air, and the distant sound of chi
The Alpha’s Forbidden obsession Waste
As spring began to thaw the chill of winter, the team found a temporary respite from their relentless battle against the Black Sun. The fortress in the Pyrenees had been dismantled, and the immediate threat of The Ascendancy had been averted. However, the remnants of the dark network remained a persistent threat, and the team’s mission was far from complete. In their base, the atmosphere was a mix of cautious optimism and ongoing vigilance. The team had succeeded in disrupting the Black Sun’s most recent plans, but their influence was still widespread. The remnants continued to operate in the shadows, their intentions shrouded in secrecy. Isabella, Clyde, Elise, Alessandro, and Marta gathered in the war room, reviewing their latest intelligence. The walls were covered with maps, photographs, and documents detailing the Black Sun’s remaining operatives and activities. Elise, looking over a set of decrypted messages, spoke with concern. “We’ve uncovered several new locations tied to
The Alpha’s Forbidden obsession Silence
The drive to the orphanage was quiet. The mood we had woken up with had been ruined, leaving a tension thick enough to slice through. I could see Aiden’s jaw tightening every few seconds, a telltale sign of his internal struggle. He was controlling himself—for me, I knew that much. It was his way. Always measured, always holding back. The world outside the window blurred past, a mix of early autumn trees and gray skies, but I couldn’t focus on any of it. My chest felt heavy, guilt coiling tight around my ribs. After fifteen minutes of silence, the tension became unbearable. I glanced over at him and then back at the passing scenery, forcing myself to speak. “I’m sorry,” I said softly, my voice barely breaking the stillness. Aiden’s eyes flicked toward me, his expression unreadable. His gaze returned to the road almost instantly. “For what?” he asked, his tone polite but distant, as though he were forcing himself to remain calm. I swallowed hard, my throat dry. “For putting you in
The Alpha’s Forbidden obsession Heavy Silence
“Isabella,” he said, his tone low and firm, “you make the rules here. You break them. No one is superior to you—not Marcus, not me, not anyone in this pack.” The weight of his words settled over me, heavy and unfamiliar. “But… the rules exist for a reason,” I argued weakly, my voice wavering. “And sometimes,” he said, glancing at me briefly, “those rules don’t account for the unique situations we face. That’s why you’re the Luna. To lead. To make the hard calls. The pack looks to you for guidance, not to follow every rule blindly.” I shook my head, my chest tight. “I don’t feel like a Luna,” I admitted. “I don’t feel like someone they should look up to.” Aiden’s hand tightened slightly on my thigh, his warmth seeping through the fabric of my jeans. “That’s because you keep doubting yourself,” he said, his voice softer now. “You’re still thinking like an outsider. But you’re not anymore. You’re one of us, Isabella. More than that, you’re the luna, my mate. It’s time you start actin

The Alpha’s Forbidden obsession Breaking the Rules
Just as we were about to leave the table, Marcus entered the room. The first thing his eyes caught was our intertwined fingers. I instinctively tried to pull my hand back, but Aiden tightened his grip, his fingers pressing firmly against mine as though silently daring me to let go.Marcus raised a brow, his lips curving into a knowing smirk as he cleared his throat. “Someone is clearly in a good mood after whipping everyone’s ass,” he drawled.Aiden rolled his eyes, the action subtle but unmistakable. “Oh, please,” he muttered, his tone dripping with irritation.We both knew what Marcus was referring to. Aiden had spent the better part of past two weeks commanding everyone on how to deal with Darius. The tension between him and Darius was palpable, almost suffocating at times. I had told him countless times to forget about the man, to let it go, but Aiden had been resolute. I could still remember the dangerous glint in his eyes as he’d said, “I would never forgive anyone for touching
The Alpha’s Forbidden obsession The Next Morning
“Do you remember what day it is today?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper, but I could feel the weight of my words lingering in the quietness.Aiden’s response was slow, deliberate. He raised one brow in that way he did, and just that one look made my heart skip a beat. If it was a sin to look this handsome first thing in the morning, then he was, without a doubt, the greatest sinner of them all. I found myself stuttering, nerves dancing through me as I tried to find the courage to bring up the topic I’d been holding onto.“You said you’d take me to the orphanage,” I said, my voice hesitant, unsure if this was the right time. Would he remember? Would he care as much as I did?For a moment, he didn’t say anything. Silence crept in, and with it, a growing sense of unease. My mind spiraled, convinced I’d messed everything up. Just as the words started to rise in my throat, desperate to cover up the silence, Aiden leaned forward and pressed a gentle kiss on my cheek. His arms wrapp
