The Alpha’s Forbidden obsession 1- The Encounter
**Isabella**Life, as I’ve known it, has always had a way of balancing out the good with the bad. Raised in an orphanage, I learned early on that joy was something you created for yourself, even when the world seemed intent on stripping it away. The women who took care of me would often say that I was the most joyful child they’d ever seen, always smiling, always hopeful. I suppose that’s because I’ve always believed that life, no matter how harsh, had to be balanced by something good—something worth holding onto.But today, as I walk through the dense woods with the sun slowly setting behind the trees, I can’t shake the feeling that the balance I’ve always relied on is about to tip in a way I’m not ready for.The forest is familiar to me, a place of solace where I can escape the noise and chaos of the orphanage. But today, the air feels different—heavier, somehow, and filled with a tension I can’t quite place. The cool breeze carries the scent of pine and damp earth, a smell I usuall
The Alpha’s Forbidden obsession 2- The Forbidden Attraction
AidenThe woods are my sanctuary, the one place where I can be alone with my thoughts, away from the pack, away from the constant pressure of leadership. Tonight, though, it’s different. Tonight, I’m not alone. I can feel her presence before I even see her—an innocent, fragile human, wandering into my territory as if she belongs here. She doesn’t.The very scent of her makes my blood boil, reminding me of everything I hate about her kind. They’re weak, fragile, but also dangerous. My parents learned that the hard way, and their deaths are a constant reminder of the threat humans pose. Yet, as I stand here watching her, hidden in the shadows, something else stirs within me—something I haven’t felt in years.I hate her for it.She shouldn’t be here. She’s trespassing into a world she knows nothing about, a world that would swallow her whole without a second thought. I should turn away, leave her to her foolishness. But I can’t. There’s something about her that keeps me rooted to the sp
The Alpha’s Forbidden obsession 3- Aiden’s Torment
AidenI pace the length of my cabin, my thoughts in turmoil. It’s been hours since I left her in the forest, and yet, I can’t get her out of my mind. Her scent, her wide, innocent eyes, the way she looked at me with that mix of fear and something else—something I can’t quite put my finger on. It’s maddening.She’s just a human, I tell myself. Weak, fragile, the very thing I’ve spent my life hating. My parents died because of her kind, and I’ve made it my mission to protect my pack from them. And yet, here I am, obsessed with a girl I should despise.My wolf is restless, prowling beneath the surface, demanding action. It doesn’t understand why I didn’t take her then and there, why I let her go. But the human part of me is just as confused, torn between the instinct to claim her and the knowledge that she’s dangerous—not because she can hurt me, but because she makes me feel things I’ve sworn to bury.I slam my fist against the wall, the wood creaking under the force. This is wrong. Eve
The Alpha’s Forbidden obsession 4- Aiden’s Torment
**Isabella**The next morning, I’m still reeling from the events of the previous night. I hardly slept, my mind too busy replaying everything that happened, trying to make sense of it all. But no matter how hard I try, I can’t shake the feeling that something significant has changed, something that I’m not ready to face.I go about my usual routine, trying to distract myself with chores and responsibilities around the orphanage. But it’s no use. My thoughts keep drifting back to the forest, to him. Who was he? Why did he affect me so deeply? And why can’t I stop thinking about him?The other girls notice my distraction, casting curious glances my way, but they don’t say anything. They’re used to me being the quiet one, the one who prefers the company of nature to people. But today, even the solace of nature can’t calm the storm inside me.By midday, I’ve had enough. I need answers, and I won’t find them sitting around here, pretending everything is normal. I make up an excuse to leave
The Alpha’s Forbidden obsession 5- Isabella’s curiosity
**Isabella**The next morning dawns clear and bright, but the sunlight does little to lift the heavy fog of confusion that’s settled over me. I wake up with the pendant still clutched in my hand, its cool surface a stark contrast to the warmth of the morning sun streaming through my window.After a restless breakfast, where I barely taste the food in front of me, I decide I need answers. I’ve never been one to let things go easily, and this is no exception. The more I think about it, the more certain I am that this pendant is connected to the man in the forest—the man who seems to have taken up permanent residence in my thoughts.But where do I even start? The pendant is simple, no markings or inscriptions that could give me a clue as to its origin. And I can’t exactly go around asking people if they’ve seen a mysterious man lurking in the woods. They’d think I’ve lost my mind. Maybe I have.Still, I can’t just sit here and do nothing. I decide to head into town, hoping that maybe som
The Alpha’s Forbidden obsession 6- Isabella’s Curiosity
**Aiden**I watch her from a distance, hidden in the shadows just beyond the orphanage grounds. She’s back from town now, sitting on her bed with the pendant in her hand, turning it over and over as if it holds the answers to all her questions.And maybe it does. But those answers aren’t for her to find. Not yet.I’ve been watching her all day, ever since she left the forest. I should have left it alone, let her go back to her normal life, forget about me, about what happened. But I can’t. There’s something about her, something that keeps drawing me back, no matter how hard I try to resist.The pendant was a test, and she passed it. She’s more resilient than I expected, more determined. Most humans would have shrugged it off, dismissed it as a coincidence, but not her. She’s digging, searching for answers, and that could be dangerous.For both of us.But even as I tell myself I should end this, I know I won’t. I’m too far gone, too caught up in the pull she has over me. My wolf is res
The Alpha’s Forbidden obsession 7- The awakening
**Isabella**The night air is thick and oppressive as I lie in bed, my thoughts racing and my heart pounding with fear. The pendant around my neck feels like a weight, an anchor pulling me down into a sea of dread I can’t escape. I haven’t been able to sleep since the night I saw him—Aiden, the man who seems more like a monster than anything human. The memory of his eyes, glowing in the darkness, haunts me, and I can’t shake the feeling that something terrible is coming.Every creak of the old orphanage, every whisper of wind against the window, sends a jolt of terror through me. I’m too scared to close my eyes, afraid of what might happen if I do. The pendant, warm against my skin, pulses with a strange energy I don’t understand, but I can’t bring myself to take it off. It’s as if it’s glued to me, a constant reminder of the nightmare I’ve been pulled into.I don’t know what to do. I don’t know how to escape this. I’m just a girl—an ordinary, terrified girl—and I’m way out of my dept
The Alpha’s Forbidden obsession 8- The Awakening
**Aiden**I watch from the shadows as she stumbles through the forest, her fear palpable, her steps unsteady. She’s terrified—rightfully so—but she’s here. She didn’t run, didn’t try to hide. That’s a start, at least. But fear alone won’t be enough to keep her alive tonight.She’s just a human, a fragile, terrified human with no idea what’s about to happen. She has no powers, no strength, nothing that makes her special in this world. And that’s what makes this so interesting. It’s easy to survive when you have power. It’s much harder when you’re nothing but prey.She reaches the clearing where I’m waiting, her breath coming in ragged gasps, her eyes wide with terror. She sees me and freezes, her fear so intense I can practically taste it in the air. Good. Fear will keep her on edge, keep her from making stupid mistakes—hopefully.“Y-you’re here,” she stammers, barely able to get the words out. “W-what’s going to happen?”I don’t answer her right away. I want her to feel the weight of
