When we get to the bottom we’re met with another door. The wall is made out of white stones and thrones hang down from the ceiling and curve around the door. It’s made of heavy wood and is locked with a long black bar.

I wet my lips as Ethan unlocked the door and pulled on the deadbolt before pushing it open. I don’t know if I could say I’ve ever been intimidated by a room before but this one gave off a strong presence.

Leaving the door open Ethan guided me to one of two tables in the room. My eyes strayed only for a moment on the case in the corner before sitting down. Ethan stood beside me and not even ten minutes had passed when footsteps were heard from the hallway.

We both turned and watched the door until an anxious-looking Olivia walked through.

My hands were bunched into fists in my lap, sweaty and cold. Gabe walked in after Olivia, who was then followed by

    AdeaI felt sick to my stomach. The image of her burn mark seared into my brain. “I think I’m going to be sick,” I whispered to Korra.She shook her head. Silent.Ethan looked shocked. I could see him fighting his emotions.“And what did you do then?” He asked.“I was handcuffed the entire time to the table so… I couldn’t do anything,” Olivia said. She talked as if she was talking about someone else. As if the events of the past week didn’t happen to her.“The entire time he … burned you?”Olivia shook her head. “No, the entire time he had me.”I understood the black hole in her eyes. I swiped at the tears that rolled down my f

    AdeaThe door opens and the light pouring in from the hallway wakes me from my sleep. I squint into the light as the door closes. My eyes close and Ethan walks in and I almost fall asleep as he shuffles around.“Mm,” I mumble and turn on my side, ready for him to spoon me and hold me in his arms.His clothes drop to the floor and I wait for him to climb into bed. When he doesn’t I open my eyes to look at him in the dark. He’s standing at the foot of the bed and I can just make out the lines from his toned body.He’s naked.A strong hand clamps down on my leg and pulls me closer to the edge of the bed. I fight sleep and try to shake off the blanket of sleep that’s still pulling me under.

I’m guessing he’s in the office,” I tell her.And so I go to see my mate at his office.It’s not the first time I go to see him in his office but today feels different. He looks up from his work as I walk in.“Adea,” he says huskily, his eyes following the lines of my sundress as it hugs my chest and waist. Beta Odis bows before making a discreet exit closing the door behind him, and we’re alone. My mate leans back in his chair and pats his thigh.I’m here for a reason but when he uses that tone with me, I find it hard to focus.“Come here,” he murmurs.

    Adea“You died, Ethan.”I watch as shock flashed across his face before he reigns it in.“In the beginning or towards the end of this battle?” He asks.“I’m not sure but in my dream, you die in the very beginning,” I tell him. “When I run downstairs, I open the door and I can’t find you. But when I do see each other, I start running for you. That’s when he kills you,” I say quietly.“How does your dream end?” He asks.“I…” I trail off.“How does it end?!” He says, and I can feel the anger in his words.I lower my eyes. “After Shane takes me, he marks me and falls asleep. When I wake up, I take his sword and kill him. I walk over to the window and stare at the moon.” I retell

The world spins and I reach out to grab something, anything to keep me upright.I’m sorry.I’m sorry.I’m sorry.Alone?Alone?!My brain was working on overdrive and my heart was hammering against my chest.“What the actual fuck, Kor?” I gasp.“I don’t know Adea, I wasn’t present. When you sleep I sleep. Sometimes I stay sleeping. I’m not always present when you and Ethan sleep together,” Kor says.I walk shakily down the hall. I don’t know where I’m going but my feet guide me. I’m more focused on the way my knees are shaking. Ethan’s words are replaying on repeat.

    AdeaI sent Gabe a text, I needed to know where he was and if he was near Olivia. What I had to talk to her didn’t need him there. As sure as I was I wanted to hear it from her first before telling my best friend that his mate was going against her pack and working with Shane.My phone pings and when I check, I see that Gabe has responded.Gabe * … I’m out with Beta Odis right now. Why? Is something wrong Ady?*Sigh. I hate feeling like I was lying to him but I couldn’t tell him yet. My fingers hover over the keyboard before I text out a response.*I was just wondering. No worries, nothing’s wrong Gabe.*I shove my phone into my back pocket. Now that I know he isn’t with Olivia, I can go and talk to her without any disruptions. I take a deep breath and head to Olivia and Gabe’s room.

  • 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

    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
