All Chapters of FORBIDDEN MATES: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Outside her sister's room, Adira rested against the wall, her head raised, her eyes closed as she blinked back the tears that filled her eyes. She won’t cry, she thought strongly, her fingers folding into a fist. She gave herself a few seconds to gather her composure, then leaned off the wall and headed toward the lift, determined to forget what happened in her sister’s room. Jake paced like a caged animal as he and his friends waited for Adira to join them. Dylan sat at the driver’s side, the door open, his feet outside, and his ears plugged, his attention flicking between his pacing best friend and his phone. He tried to get Jake to calm down, but Jake ignored him like he was invisible. The dark boy is worried about the repercussions of his actions, and no matter how often he tells himself that Adira is not mad, he feels double the amount he is deluding himself. He might be a foot taller than the blonde, but the blonde, when angry, scares the shit out of him, and he is

Jake encountered his friends before he and his father got to the door. He excused himself from the beta to speak to his friends, who did the same with their families. “Do you know what this is all about?” Nate asked, slipping his hands into his pockets. Like Jake, he had a suit on, though he let the buttons of the red shirt under the black suit run free a few buttons down, exposing his neck tattoos. Night surrounded the friends; the only illumination was the stars littering the sky. Jake shook his head with a clueless expression. “Mum just told me to get dressed and that we are having dinner here.” he shrugged his broad shoulders. As they talked, Meredith drove in and parked beside the other cars in front of the Pack House. She stepped down from the car and walked toward the boys in heels. She has yet to notice them, but the boys did. Nate stiffened at the sight of Meredith, which didn't escape the notice of his friends. “Dude, what is going on between you two?” Dylan

Adira blinked in shock when she saw the blood dripping down her sister's body. You are hurt! She exclaimed, running to her sister without a second thought. When she got to her, she bent toward the wound to inspect why it was bleeding. "What happened?" She asked worriedly, her slender fingers tracing the edges of the newly opened wound. Kendra flinched from the warm touch on her skin, not because she was in pain but because of the warmth that traveled over her body at Adira’s touch. Thinking her sister was in pain, Adira quickly withdrew her hand and stared up at her, her green eyes radiating warmth and concern. "Does it hurt?" She asked innocently, unaware of the battle raging within her sister as she fought to control her desire. Adira gasped audibly at the quick transformation of Kendra’s eyes. The blue orbs looked fiery and tinged with gold. It wasn't just Kendra anymore, but her wolf as well. The hunger she glimpsed in her sister’s eyes sparked a flame of desire between Adir

Kendra stiffened at Adira’s words, her back to the blonde. The word love terrifies the shit out of her. After losing her parents, Kendra vowed never to love anything in her life again. Yes, she cares about her sister, but love? She turned to face her sister, her expression icy cold. Adira returned Kendra’s cold regard with a brave one, her expression calm, even though her insides shook from nerves. She took a gamble, reminding her sister of her mumbling in her moment of lucidity to see how it went, and from what she could see, it wasn't going well. “Love?” Her sister was being utterly ruthless in covering her feelings. Adira couldn't read a damn thing, but she persevered. She nodded her head to Kendra’s question. "Are you saying you don’t?" she teased with a straight face. Okay, now she is enjoying needling her sister, hoping for a reaction from her. Kendra raised a brow at her little sister, her eyes narrowing at the blonde, trying to figure out what she was up to

“Um…what? H…how did you know?” Adira was so shocked by her mother's question, more like a statement of fact, that she could barely string words together and felt downright panicky that her secret was out in the open. Luna Grace laughed at her daughter's gobsmacked expression. “What do you want me to do first?" she asked, “Repeat what I said or answer your question.” The older blonde raised a brow at her daughter, a teasing smile playing across her lips. Adira blinked several times as she tried to overcome her shock and racing heart. “The last part,” she said huskily. Luna Grace nodded. “I am your mother.” “That is it?” Adira looked like she didn't believe her mother. Luna Grace shrugged. She had noticed something was off from the beginning, but the tension between her daughter and Jake confirmed her suspicion during the dinner. “You haven't answered me, though,” she reminded her daughter. Adira threw herself back on her bed, her hands going underneath her head. She felt t
