All Chapters of Forbidden Mate: Awakening: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Another week had passed. Tyler and Audrey visited for sometime again, for reasons I didn't want to know, and Adrian had been more quiet than usual. I knew why but I wandered every night, not wanting to sleep, if things would go back to normal after what we had both realized. Adrian has become a hybrid. It was a secret I would keep to myself and one Adrian and I would both share. He hadn't burst into a transformation ever since the last time and he'd been trying to hone his new truth and powers. That was something really admirable about him. Not letting the unexpected twist of things depress him, but making the most out of it. Though, I understood Adrian's conflicted view of being part his kind and part a kind who hates his kind, I wish this would've happened to him not during an era where the hatred between our kinds were too profound. I constantly wished things would get less complicated, but I had helped a vampire - the greatest taboo a pack hunter can commit, so what could I exp

Sarah listened carefully and understood exactly what I was talking about without me explaining further. She knew I had strong feelings for both Adrian and Tyler. Adrian had a mysterious charm, and we had a special connection. Tyler, on the other hand, was my first love who betrayed and embarrassed me but I still felt a connection towards. "It's completely normal to feel that way, especially when it comes to matters of the heart. It really isn't as complicated as you're making it to be." Sarah said. "What do you mean by that?" "The thing is, babes, you really need to use more head than heart in dealing with things of the heart, or else you'd just be depressed and miserable. Ask yourself what makes you attracted to both Adrian and Tyler, and then ask yourself what you want and what is important to you. If things align to one guy or to yourself, it's still a win for you." I didn't really understand what she meant so I asked, "You'd have to repeat that." "Look babes, it's perfectly o

The other pack hunters noticed my growing connection with Adrian, as a result of the number of hours I spent with him. Ever since the last incident, we had been cautious to not be seen alone so we planned to meet only at nights. When a month already passed, we got more comfortable talking during the day, as far as we were in the midst of others, except my father. The others disapproved of our connection, and their worried expressions showed their concern. It seemed like my involvement with Adrian had stirred up fear and uncertainty among them.One by one, pack members came to me (including people I had never talked to), looking worried and cautious. They spoke quietly, telling me to stay away from Adrian and break the bond between us. They warned me about the dangers of being with "someone like him" and going against our pack's traditions and values."You're our leader's daughter, you should know better." One guy who looked like Brad Pitt told me."I had asked you out not too long ag

A pin drop could be heard.The vampire remained quiet. This obviously boiled my father's blood."Can't you speak?!"He remained in his ordeal, only returning the same death glare my father gave him."I'm coming, Sarah." She barely heard me since she was so focused on the vampire. Guess she was also fascinated too.I maneuvered my way to Adrian, feeling anxious and excited. I could see shock and recognition in his eyes. There was a connection between them that went beyond what I could guess. I wanted to know what had happened between them and how it would affect us now."Adrian…" I called to him, just a few people away from where he stood, but he didn't look away from the vampire."Adrian…" I called again but he didn't budge."If you won't talk, then we'll get the information out of you the hard way." My father commanded and waved his hands to signal the men to take him away to be locked up. "Meeting dismissed!"They held him roughly and as he was being dragged away, I could see the wa

Alarms were ringing around me. The escape was found out, and all hell broke loose in the grove. The others quickly jumped into action, their frantic footsteps bouncing off the ground as they they tried to track down Ethan.I couldn't decide if I should choose my friendship with Jaxon or prioritize the safety of the pack. Should I expose Jaxon's involvement in the escape? Or should I stay dumb about it, not knowing what kind of trouble it could cause? I had to figure out the reasons behind his actions first.Jax? Helping a vampire? How did that even make sense? Am I really sure I saw right?As the pack members spread out, determined to capture the vampire, I found myself at a crossroads facing a difficult decision. I couldn't ignore the fact that Jaxon had put our pack at risk, but I also couldn't shake the feeling that there was more to his actions than I knew.So, I decided to just keep my mouth shut and wait to see how things played out. I figured I'd only spill the beans about Jax
