Shane didn’t move and for a moment, I thought he was unfazed by his attitude. That or he was really freaking pissed. Damn it, why was Ethan being so stubborn? This isn’t how you were supposed to act when you were at the mercy of someone as vicious and cruel as Shane. My mate had never been captured before and I worried for him. I’d never seen him so hurt, so weak.

At Shane’s question, I hoped to hear that he wasn’t alone. I hoped that he would admit the others were nearby, just out of sight and that they were ready to fight to get him back. Shane lifted his knee and the bottom of his shoe connected with Ethan’s face. Ethan cursed and spat out a mouthful of blood onto the floor.

Shane dropped his head ever so slightly and lifted his arms. His fingers slid through his hair. He straightened his back and dropped his head back as he stared at the ceiling. A habit I came to understand was Shane trying to calm himself because he was close to the edge.

Ugh, I skipped chapters again. I know I shouldn't and I should read through like every 1 else. But, I am still team Ethan. I suppose I was skipping ahead to see if the last chapter would yield adea and Ethan together. But, I'm not sure I can stomach the in between even if.

Even if Adea wanted to be with Shane, no one wants to see their mate tortured.....she should of turned and walked out as soon as she saw it was Ethan!!! Damn, I want to hit someone.......Adea, yes....she's the one I want to hit!! I'm beginning to think that she doesn't deserve Ethan!!!

    The path in front of me had blurred but I knew where I needed to go, I knew what I needed to do. It would hurt him, it would hurt me but I didn’t want him to be here for this. I never wanted him to see this. I closed my eyes to block Ethan out. I didn’t want to look at him, I didn’t want him to see my reaction to Shane, his hands on me, and I didn’t want him to see that I liked it. Goddess, I liked it. “What’s punishable by death, is killing warriors guarding their pack. Why are you here? I’m not doing anything she doesn’t want. Just look at her, can you tell me who she belongs to?” Shane asked. “She bears my mark. She’s mine,” Ethan spat as he fought to keep his head up. “Mm… let’s ask her, why don’t we? Ady, who do you belong to?” Shane asked. Shane’s fingers lifted my chin until my gaze locked with his. There’s anger, irritation, and a pinch of hope. He wants to believe I’ll pass this test, he wants to believe that I want him, he wants to believe that unlike the time at the Cres

    “I chose him. I’m choosing him.”“We can work through this. We can figure it out. Can’t we baby? We can fix this.”“No, we can’t,” I almost choked on the words.“I don’t believe you! I don’t know where this is coming from. Just the other day, we were making love and talking about pups. You couldn’t, no, you can’t change. This doesn’t make sense,” his voice was hoarse. “Just… just give me a chance. Whatever you’ve done, whatever I’ve done, I can- we can fix it. Baby, please.”“How can I make this make any more sense? I don’t want to fix it. I don’t want to be with you. I made a decision, my decision. I don’t need to explain anything to you. You knew already, didn’t you? Isn’t that why you came here? Isn’t that why you didn’t link me when you came near the border? Isn’t that why you haven’t tried to talk to me all day?” I yelled.I took the anger from how I felt about him not reaching out to me and pushed it into my voice. Goddess, this was killing me. I wouldn’t blame him if he didn’t

  • The Forbidden Alpha   Survive

    I don’t know how much Ethan knows of the past, but the recent dream shed a lot of light on things. If he does know, he should have told me, he would have, wouldn’t he? If he knows, does that make him bad? Does it change anything? Would it mean that he’s the same person as the one from the dream? Mentally, I shake my head.Everything that I’ve seen of him and every moment that we’ve shared together shows and tells me that he isn’t the same. Is that because he’s had life after life of happiness to mold him into this new person?Another pang of guilt hits me as I think of Shane. He’s there, always there it seems in the back of my mind. He’s had life after life, century after century alone in the darkness. Unloved and mateless.Before I had the dream, I had wondered if things could have been different between the two of us. And now that I’ve seen our first life together, I know that it can be, which makes it so hard because it could have been. It could have been if not for…It’s pointless

    AdeaWithout a second glance my way, Shane walked quickly out of the dungeons and I tripped a few times as he pulled me up the stairs. I wasn’t sure what or how I was going to do this. Shane was angry, I could feel it. He didn’t look at me as we walked out into the hallway, he slammed the door shut after I walked out.We made it maybe four steps when he turned around and I was shoved up against the wall. My back made contact first and I cried out when my head followed. The world was spinning as my brain rattled in my head.Before I could shake it off or pull myself together, Shane’s lips were on me. His hands were bruising on my waist, my breast, my throat. His lips were demanding and angry as if he were punishing me.I welcomed it and I welcomed him. My mind had been in turmoil since the moment I saw Ethan. It only got more unbearable as I fought with the two wholly different halves of my heart. I needed it to stop, I needed it all to stop. I needed the pain to go away, to focus on s

    My eyes flew open and my head turned sharply to my left. I searched the hallway, my gaze landed on someone far down the hallway, and my jaw dropped. Mavy? What? How? Where has she been? I haven’t seen her once since I arrived and I admit I was worried for her. My eyes start to water and I can’t help but start crying.The last time I saw her, we hadn’t cleared the air and I kept how I felt to myself. We said we were okay but there was a distance between us that stopped me from reaching out to her and I’m assuming she felt it too because she didn’t reach out to me either.It felt like we separated during bad times with the bitter taste of Shane on our tongues. I hadn’t stopped wondering about her. Seeing her here, now, after all this time, the dam broke and the tears flowed.When I heard about their parent’s death, especially with it being at Shane’s hands, I worried that something had happened to her. I told myself that he would never hurt her but I still feared for her, I feared for h

    Mavy rolled her eyes before linking her hand with mine.“Let’s sit in the front,” she said as she turned her back on him.A thing not many have done and survived but when it came to Mavy, she could do whatever she wanted and he wouldn’t bat an eye. He pretended of course but we knew it was shit. He’d never hurt her.“Goddess, it’s so good to have you back,” Mavy said as she leaned her head against mine. “Are you here to stay?”“Yes,” I gulped. She could always tell when I was lying. Was I lying?"Hm,” she said. I know she had to have seen my mark. It was hard to miss. “How did Shane happen?”“I didn’t do anything!” Shane called from behind us.“I’m sure,” Mavy joked. “Did he kidnap you?”“No,” I laughed. “Surprisingly enough, I came here myself.” Mavy’s eyebrow arched as she looked at me.“Interesting. What about your mate?” She asked. Well, she was hitting it right on the nail today, wasn’t she?“I’m leaving him. Well, I left him.”“Mm… I didn’t know that was possible,” Mavy said.“I

    “You’ve been back two days and he hasn’t told you?” She asked. “No, we haven’t talked a whole lot.” “Oh,” she said, her nose wrinkled. “Gross.” “No, that’s not what I meant.” Her face is red and blotchy. “I don’t know why I’m surprised. I should know better. He killed Trent,” she choked on his name and fresh tears began to run down her cheeks. “What?” I asked, breathless. “He killed Trent,” she wailed. “After you left, I needed someone, I needed … I needed a lot of shit, Adea. He was there and we… he was more than a friend.” She always liked him, so I’m not surprised to hear that anything happened. As wolves, we prefer to wait for our mate but that isn’t always the case. “What happened?” I didn’t want to, I think I already knew the answer but I couldn’t help it. I had to be here for her and she’s probably been keeping this all to herself this whole time. She needed to get it off of her chest. “When Shane attacked, Trent died.

    Ethan I jerked as I fell into ice-cold water. Fragments began to flash through my mind. My head was barely above water and it was a struggle to breathe. I was being pulled under and no matter how much I fought against it, the ocean kept dragging me down. Every time I failed, I was pulled under just to be hurled into another fragment of a memory, I wasn’t sure was even mine. The first one I was forced to experience had me hot. Sweat beaded and rolled down my temple and I let out a guttural groan as I fucked someone. My eyes were closed most of the time, so I didn’t know who it was. Every time I opened my eyes, I tried and failed to get a good look at her face. All I could tell was that she was blonde. Her fingers dug into my shoulder and I hissed. I didn’t love this woman, I didn’t care about her. Who was she? I broke through the surface and inhaled as much air as I could before I was pulled under again. The cold water splashed against my face and I choked as I started to drown. I wa

  • The Forbidden Alpha   Epilogue

    The first month back at Desert Moon had been hard. Not a day went by without us fighting. Ethan rejected Mavy as his mate before we came home. A part of me knew he was hurt about it, missed her like I missed Shane. I felt like he was only with me because I was his Luna, because of obligation and duty. I didn’t know why he wanted to be with me. He didn’t know why I was with him when I loved Shane. We were at our lowest. We were ugly, we were at our rawest. It wasn’t until month two that we finally talked about everything. We talked bout what happened and we talked about the past. The one that I remembered and by this time, the one that he remembered. It was hard, facing the man I loved in this life and the man I hated in the past. He wasn’t him anymore, he hadn’t been him for a long time. We dug into the past and were completely honest with each other. He fell to his knees and apologized for what he’d done even though I told him it wasn’t him, that wasn’t him anymore. He asked me if I

  • The Forbidden Alpha   I love you

    Mavy fell back as if she’d been physically struck. She collapsed on the couch, her eyes watering. She didn’t look back at me, she kept her gaze focused on Ethan. I watched as her world crashed around her again for the second time in five minutes.“Where does that leave me?” Mavy asked. “I’m… your…” she shook her head and turned to look back at Ethan. “That’s not possible. I’m… I can smell it. I can feel it. Can’t you?” Mavy whispered. I heard the desperation in her voice.“I don’t care what you think or how you feel. I am already mated and my mate, my partner, my love, MY QUEEN sits in this room. Don’t disrespect her again.” The emotion in his voice caused me to choke up. Mavy bit into her lower lip and tears streamed down her cheeks. She dropped her head.“Yes, Alpha,” she said submissively.“I killed your Alpha,” Ethan said. “I’ve killed your brother.”“Yes,” she murmured.“Will you fight me on this?” Ethan asked.“As the next in line, I submit to you,” Mavy whispered.Ethan dismiss

    The voices were getting louder, my head was hurting. I wanted to roll up into a ball and disappear from the world. Instead, I closed my eyes and tried to drown it all out, trying to ignore everyone. I wasn’t ready to deal with it.“She’s in shock…”“She’s confused…”“Enough!”A door slammed and footsteps paddled quickly towards me. Soft frail arms wrapped around me. Tears soaked my cheeks and my neck as Mavy cried. Did she know? She had to know.“Are you okay?” Mavy sobbed.I wrapped my arms around her and nodded. The tears started up again and streamed down my cheeks. Her t-shirt bunched in my fingers as I held her close. We cried and held each other.She inhaled deeply and froze. Slowly, she lifted her nose into the air and took another deep breath. Turning from me, she tried to follow the scent. She stopped, her gaze locked on someone, I turned and followed her gaze.I should have known, expected it but I’d been so caught up in my feelings that I didn’t think. I don’t know how it w

    I didn’t have an answer for him and I don’t think he would have liked what I would have said. Hell, I didn’t know if I liked what I thought or how I felt. Instead of hurting him and cutting myself open for him, I didn’t say anything. I remained quiet. My world was crashing around me and my ears were ringing. I lowered my head and the tears flowed of their own volition.Ethan leaned down and I flinched as his arms wrapped around me. They were strong and broad. His embrace was warm and promised I could lean on him. I attempted to get to my feet only to fall. My face twisted from the pain and I wanted to cry and wallow in my own self-pity. Standing, he pulled me up and held me as my body gave up. I collapsed against him.I wanted to get to Shane, needed to. As if on cue, the weak mate bond snapped, and just like in my dream, it was gone. Only, this time, the pain I was feeling was because of Shane and not because of Ethan. The world was cold, the warmth I’d been able to feel from Shane f

    Did what I do to him last night not bother him? I betrayed him. Did he not care that I came here to hurt him? Did he not care that I chose Ethan? I wanted to cry and scream. I wanted to run into his arms. I wanted this to stop. I wanted them to stop fighting. I wanted it all to stop. I screamed, it was painful and gut-wrenching but I screamed. I cursed the Goddess, damn her, she was useless in all of this. She sat up there above the clouds and did nothing to help us. Did she enjoy watching us suffer? When I couldn’t scream anymore, I inhaled deep breaths of air. I looked up and froze as Shane stared back at me. The way he looked at me told me he knew he was going to die. The look in his eye told me he knew he lost but for me, there was a small spark as if he wouldn’t just lay down and take it. I watched Ethan punch him. It was as if he was moving in slow motion. He hit his jaw and Shane’s head snapped back hard against the ground. Shane’s body tensed and he punched Ethan in the gut.

    For a moment in time, they stood glaring at each other. The sun was blaring down on us. My gaze darted back and forth between the two. Shane’s eyes wandered away from Ethan and landed on me. “Look at me, mutt. You don’t get to look at her after what you’ve done,” Ethan spat. “I’m not so weak that you can look away from me in the middle of a fight.” “What have I done?” Shane taunted. “You’ve touched what’s mine,” Ethan growled. “I haven’t done anything other than touch what is mine. I haven’t done anything but make love to what is mine. I’ve claimed her. She may not wear my mark, thief but she is mine. Don’t claim her as yours. She was mine, she was always mine. She doesn’t belong to you, she never did.” A look came over Ethan’s face as if he knew as if this was confirmation as if he was reminded of something he’d forgotten. “You’re the one who touched someone who wasn’t yours. You are the one who took what was mine. Don’t try to play the victim. Don’t pretend to be something you’re

    No.Not Odis.“Devin,” I gasped.Devin heard me but didn’t stop. He didn’t look up at me, didn’t even hesitate as he continued to stomp Odis into the ground. Blood spurt from Odis’ mouth and I think I heard his ribs crack. I took a step closer to stop it, to stop him. In a flash, someone was on top of Devin. Strong arms held Devin’s prisoner in a headlock and his legs wrapped around Devin’s abdomen.I wanted to scream but it quickly died in my throat as Odis and I realized the man in front of me was Gabe. Gabe. It was Gabe and he was on top of Devin. Well, he was wrapped around him like a python ready to suffocate his prey. Gabe grunted as he continued to squeeze Devin’s head, blocking his airflow.I wanted to cry out happily but I couldn’t. Gabe was here. Why was he here? He wasn’t supposed to be here. Things were going differently since he was alive. He was standing, breathing, his head was still attached to his body. Maybe things were turning out differently.Maybe Gabe was safe, ma

    “Do you understand what I’m saying?” Odis asked. I couldn’t find the words to speak, so I nodded. “Good,” Odis said as his grip on me loosened. “Why don’t you let her go?” A voice called out to us. Looking up, I searched for the source of the voice. My eyes widened as I found Devin watching up. His gaze locked around Odis’ arms that were still wrapped around me to his hands that gripped my arms. “I promise I’m more fun,” Devin teased. I know what it looked like. It looked like I was being held back from moving. It looked like Odis was stopping me from helping Shane. It looked like I was stuck between two packs, two men. The situation I found myself in was precarious. I was now stuck between two Betas who were supposed to protect me, despite their conflicting thoughts regarding me. I hadn’t had much time with Devin since I’d been back. He hadn’t been the nicest, shit, I don’t think he even liked me. That didn’t change the fact that Devin was Beta of Half Moon pack. Shane was his

    I didn’t have an answer and I prayed I didn’t have to make the choice. Not only had everyone stopped moving but it had gone deathly silent. For a moment, everyone and everything froze. There wasn’t a whisper of wind in the air, the trees stood still, and it was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. It was the calm before the storm. It felt like someone had pushed the pause button and all at once the play button was pressed and all hell broke loose. As if planned, the two of them ran toward each other. I looked past Ethan and my gaze landed on Shane’s chest. The sword had been taken out, a gaping hole was left in its place right next to his heart. Now that it was gone, I could see I had barely missed his heart. If I’d been one inch to the right, he would have died. How had I missed that? I didn’t kill him. Was I not paying attention? Why hadn’t I looked at his heart? I had aimed, hadn’t I? Had I meant to miss it? No, I had meant it, or else I wouldn’t have stabbed him at all. I tried to
