All Chapters of THE ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN MATE : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Xander's PovVanessa picked up her things and hastily ran out of my office.Good.Immediately I turned back to my work a knock sounded at the door.“What now?” I muttered in frustration running my palm down my face.“Come in.”The door opened, revealing Lyra and Magnus on the other side. Irritation began to bubble within me because I knew the reason why they were both here.“Alpha.” They said in unison with a slight bow.“What do you want?” I demanded ignoring their greeting.“Alpha,” Lyra started. “Please let Ava go.”“No.” I returned my focus to the map of the pack grounds and the position where Magnus had placed the warriors.“You claim that she bewitched you, right?” Lyra continued. “What evidence do you have? As a king, you of all people should know never to accuse someone with evidence to back up your claim.”I did not speak, but my eyes signalled to her to continue.“You know the tension between our kind and hers has surged tremendously, there's on telling what will happen if

Ava's povI was confused. Something was off about the alpha, about us.I felt heat rise to my cheeks as I remembered the kiss. The sparks and tingles that spread across my body, the softness of his lips, the feeling of his stubble against my cheek and the most intoxicating scent that infiltrated my nose.Something has shifted between us, I could tell from the way he spoke and acted towards me. I felt a deep connection and longing for him.I rubbed my eyes tiredly, the healer had left a few minutes ago after a thorough examination of my healed body and an hour of grueling questions.My answer remained the same all through. I don't know.I knew that I couldn't tell anyone about the woman and the wolf, Aria. I still have a lot of unanswered questions.Xander had instructed me to go to my chambers and clean up once the healer gave me the go ahead, which he had. I got up from the bed and headed for the door.My body felt lighter, stronger and far more healthy than it had ever been. A smil

Xander's povI ran my fingers through my hair in frustration. I don't know what came over me.Ever since the kiss with Ava I felt something, the presence I felt the first day I saw her. I was coming down the stairs to go check on the pack, one minute I saw Vanessa pinning down Ava the next I was standing with their blood on my hands.I hurt my pack members badly.I usually punch werewolves who break the law depending on the severity of their crimes but what happened today was different.I felt the mate bond.When it hugged Ava through my body I felt the full power of the mate bond course through me. I saw glimpses of Ava's life, that only happens when the mate bond has been completed but for some reason It happened today.Her eyes…They glowed, I felt like I was drowning in an ocean. There was something else in her, it recognized me.I didn't understand what was happening and I didn't like it but one thing was certain.Ava was my mate.She wasn't bewitching me. The pack elders saw eve

Vanessa's povPain.That was all I felt all over my body. The alpha had hurt me all because of that girl, that filthy human.“Shh, calm down, honey.” my mom whispered soothingly in my ears.I couldn't calm down, my entire body was in pain. Spasms, I curled into a ball as the pain continued to radiate all over my body.My healing wasn't working fast enough, I heard Lucy scream. The sickening crack of her arm when the alpha snapped it still rang in my ears.She was my childhood best friend, always by my side through thick and thin and I had just gotten her hurt. I cringed as I heard another sickening sound as the doctor snapped her bone back in place so it would heal properly.“Okay, here we go.” A nurse said.This brought me back to my own situation. When the alpha flung me across the room, a metal decor had impaled into my back— my spine to be exact.I was beginning to heal around it so they needed to pull it out as fast as possible.Tears streamed down my face as I felt the nurse pul

Ava's povWhat I read was far different from the take I knew. The scroll talked about betrayals, secret alliances, villages burnt down and innocent people that were slaughtered.It wasn't by the enemy that we had all grown up knowing— the humans, but by the werewolves themselves.My stomach twisted the more I read. The werewolves hadn't fought for survival rather they had planned and caused the chaos, killing thousands to be the dominating race.They lied about it all. They changed history to benefit them, they painted themselves as noble survivors who had to do what they needed to survive. They buried the atrocities they had committed.The scroll mentioned names I didn't know, leaders who had made the ultimate decision that led to the death of thousands. My hands trembled as I turned the pages, it described the brutal tactics they used, merciless strategies that were created.Now I understood the warning written on the door as the weight of the truth pressed down on me.I kept readin
