All Chapters of The Alpha’s Forbidden obsession : Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

I couldn’t sleep at all. The entire night was spent tossing and turning, my mind spinning in circles with every possible outcome of what could happen the next day. Fear gripped me, tightening like a vice around my chest, but right beside it was something else—excitement. A strange, twisted excitement that mingled with the horror of what I was about to do.Every time I closed my eyes, I pictured my mother’s face, her worried expression as she waited for news of me. But the fear kept creeping back in. What if Aiden found out? What if he caught me before I could leave? What if Marcus saw through my act? The doubts clawed at me, turning my mind into a battlefield of conflicting emotions.I sat up in bed, staring out of the window as the moonlight streamed through the curtains. My heart pounded in my chest, and no matter how hard I tried to calm myself, the anxiety refused to let me go. The silence of the mansion was almost suffocating, each tick of the clock reminding me how close I was t

I stepped outside the mansion, trying to appear as casual as possible, even though my heart was pounding in my chest. The bright morning sun shone down, warming my skin, but I felt cold inside. I had to keep reminding myself to breathe, to act normal. *Just a stroll,* I told myself. *You’re just going out to get some fresh air.*I walked slowly, keeping my posture relaxed, my steps measured, as if I had no particular destination in mind. I couldn’t let anyone suspect that something was off. Not Marcus, not the guards, not anyone. If they saw me rushing or looking too nervous, it would raise questions, and I couldn’t afford that. Not now.As I moved further away from the mansion, I stole a glance over my shoulder. No one was following me. Not yet. The tension in my chest loosened slightly, but I knew it wouldn’t last. This wasn’t just a walk. This was my chance to escape, to see my mother again, to take back some control over my life.The path through the woods was familiar, but today

The world around me felt like it was closing in, each breath growing heavier as my mind raced. I didn’t know what to do. Every instinct screamed at me to run, to escape, but the truth was, there was nowhere to go. No safe path. No way out.Lucas grabbed my arm again, his grip firm and demanding, but I stepped back, yanking it free. The look in his eyes was one of desperation, but there was something darker underneath—something that made my stomach twist. “Isabella, we need to leave *now,*” he urged, his voice low but frantic. “If we stay, we’re both dead.”I shook my head, taking another step back. My thoughts were a whirlwind, my heart pounding in my chest. How could I trust him? How could I go with these hunters knowing what they were capable of? Knowing that these people were the reason Aiden’s parents were dead? The same people who had hunted his kind for centuries?And then there was Aiden himself. What would he do if he found out I had asked Lucas—who was working with these hun

I returned home late that night, the full moon casting an eerie glow over the mansion as I approached. The cold night air clung to my skin, but there was something else—something in the atmosphere that felt wrong. Tension. Panic. As soon as I stepped into the courtyard, I noticed the frantic movements of the guards, their heads turning in every direction, their eyes wide with fear. It was as though they were searching for something—or someone. I could hear Marcus’s voice, loud and angry, cutting through the night air like a blade.“*How could you let her out of your sight?*” Marcus was yelling at the top of his lungs, his voice dripping with fury. He stood at the center of the courtyard, surrounded by a handful of guards, all of whom looked like they’d rather be anywhere else but here. “She’s just a weak human girl!” Marcus continued, his voice sharp with frustration. “You’re telling me none of you could keep an eye on *one* person?”I froze, my heart dropping into my stomach.

I don’t know how I could have fallen asleep in a situation like that, but somehow, the exhaustion took over. My body gave in to the overwhelming fear and stress, and before I knew it, I had lost consciousness. The sounds of the forest, the growls, the rustling of leaves—they all faded into nothing as the darkness swallowed me whole. When I opened my eyes again, the world around me felt different. The thick fog of sleep clung to my mind, making it hard to focus. Slowly, I blinked, my vision clearing, and I realized I was still in the same place, hidden under the bushes. But something was different. I could feel it.I froze when I saw him.Darius. He was sitting right in front of me, his massive figure casting a shadow over the ground. My heart jumped into my throat, and I gasped, my whole body going cold with fear. He was so close—too close. “Good morning, sunshine,” he said, his voice low and mocking.I couldn’t move. I couldn’t breathe. His dark, piercing eyes bore into mine, and
