Chapter 21: Mate
Alpha Ethan's POV
I didn't want the ball here in the first place so of course, I didn't want to attend. I didn't search for my mate over the years and I didn't want to search for her tonight.
After years of Olivia reminding me that the Goddess had a mate for me out there, she planted a seed in my head. I have to admit the seed has started to grow.
Did I want to scour the country for my mate? No. But would I be lying if I said I didn't wonder if she was going to be here tonight? Yes.
Outside of Odis and Olivia, I keep no one close and I preferred it that way. For an Alpha, having a mate is crucial. Having a mate made you stronger, don't ask me how but it just does.
Since I was hosting the ball, I had to be there first to greet the visiting Alpha's and their Luna. I couldn't help but smile when guests started flooding in. They couldn't help but shoot me frightening glances.
I sat at the head of the Alpha table. When Alpha Jos

“My name is Ethan, the Alpha of the Desert Moon pack,” he says like it isn’t a big deal. He’s the Alpha of this pack? Hearing him say Alpha, I automatically think of Shane. Thinking of him watching us here together like this scares me to my core. Is he watching us? Is he angry? Pulling my hands together, I fold my hands to try and stop the shaking. Think Adea, think! What do I do? He takes a step towards me and without thinking I take a step back. “Don’t be afraid of him Adea! He’s ours. The Goddess made him for us,” the voice whines, and I can see her mentally pacing. I shake my head, “No, we don’t know him. This comfort we feel from him and this pull to him is all the mate bond!” Why can’t she see this? We can’t trust whatever this is. My wolf whines in my head, “That’s not true!” I can feel her desperation like it were my own but I know that her feelings ar

*** Author's Note: !!!! TRIGGER WARNING: This chapter includes sexual violence that may not be suitable for some readers!!!! *** I take a deep breath and let out a long and steady breath. I look up at the moon and feel Korra looking with me. It's a beautiful full moon tonight, it lights up the garden, showing the beauty of the garden. I can't let myself get emotional right now. We still need to go in and act like everything's fine. "We can explain everything to our friends tonight in the room," Korra reassures me. "I was dormant but I was by your side since you were young. I couldn't say anything or talk to you... but I've always been here." Dabbing at my tears, careful not to ruin Nikki's masterpiece. I laugh, "We can't let her see us looking a mess." I pull myself together and look at the water fountain. Lifting my chin, I square my shoulders and steel my resolve to head in. That's when I see it, with the moon shining so bright
The Forbidden Alpha Chapter 24: Sleep, little one
Someone steps in front of me, blocking my view, his eyes are filled with concern. A warm jacket drops around my shoulders. A shiver runs down my back when he embraces me but I don't feel scared. I jump when a low growl snaps me out of it. Thoughts of what almost happened to me keep replaying in my head cause my throat to constrict. I'm gasping for breath when a soothing voice tells me I'm okay. His hand slowly pats my back and his other hand holds my hair until my breathing slows.He pulls down my dress and dabs at my tears. I can hear a loud thud followed by another. Soon the thud makes a crunching noise. "Give me my mate," my savior says in a low voice. "With all due respect, Alpha, I think my friend needs tending to. Her girlfriends and I will take her to her room, while you clean yourself up." The voice belongs to Gabe and I lean into his embrace. "She's like my little sister and I think your appearance right now would scare her,"
The Forbidden Alpha Chapter 25: I will protect you
When I wake I'm in my room, there's a heaviness pressing me into the bed. Opening my eyes, the curtains are closed and the room is dim. I search for the object that woke me up when I see a muscular tan leg on my stomach. His waist is covered by a thin white sheet and his chest is right next to my face. His arm is wrapped around my chest and I'm breathless as my eyes take in the sight in front of me. There's a man in my bed! My eyes trail the length of his exposed ripped torso up to his chest and broad shoulders. My eyes zoom in on his tattoo and I have to suppress the urge to trace it with my fingers. His chest rises and falls with each breath he takes. Looking up, I see a chiseled chin and let my eyes take in his face. Ethan's hair is messy, his lips look soft and inviting. Before I can examine him a little more his eyes snap open and he locks eyes with me. Closing his eyes again, his lips turn up in a small smile.&

Adea His hand is on my waist as we walk down the hall. Little tingles shooting up my side where his hand rests. Gabe’s door opens before we get to the elevator. When he steps out, I notice he looks tired, like he hasn’t slept all night. He walks over to me and gives me one of his big bear hugs. “You okay?” “Y-” I’m cut off by a low menacing growl. Gabe and I both look behind me to see Ethan glaring at Gabe’s arms around me. Gabe’s eyes widen in understanding and he lifts his hands in the air. Inhaling, Ethan cracks his neck, before closing his eyes. “I’ve just found my mate and we have little restraint when it comes to … unmated males touching what is ours.” Opening his eyes, Ethan presses the button on the elevator. “I understand, Alpha,” Gabe says with a bow. Ethan gets into the eleva

The drive home passes by in a blur as I watched the treeless hills rush by. When we get back to the packhouse, Korra is itching to touch Ethan and I can feel it through our link. “I’ve got a few issues to deal with, little one. Otherwise, I would stay with you,” Ethan says looking a little down. “Okay… Ethan. I’m just going to go up to my room.” He lets out a little growl and grabs my hand and pulls me in for a hug. Breathing in his smell as the tingles shoot up my arms. Korra purrs enjoying his embrace. “Hug him back!” She whines and her big white head drops to the ground. “You do things to me,” he murmurs in my ear. His breath sending shivers down my spine. Yummy shivers. Ethan’s chest is pressed against my face and I’m so close to leaning into his embrace. “Give me your phone,” he says as he moves back and I let out a breath I didn’
The Forbidden Alpha Chapter 28: Odis
Odis Friendship is what kept me here, Ethan has never told me to stay but I’ve always known that he needs me. I’ve always loved him like a brother, sometimes I wondered what made me feel this way. Deep down, I already knew. It was this friendship, this family that I found here at Desert Moon that kept me here. Ethan and I grew up the same way. Always alone, taking the grunt of life. When he rose up and took over, I knew I had nowhere else to be than by his side. When he first started bedding women, I knew his wolf wasn’t happy. I knew Alpha Ethan wasn’t happy about it but he would never say it. He says they were just nameless faces used to scratch an itch… Alpha has … particular tastes and I know he wasn’t sure that his mate would be someone who could take what he had to give. I know he says he doesn’t want a mate and that she would just be used to strengthen the pack but I know that he wants a mate.

Adea I’m standing holding the door open staring at the Beta. Did I hear him right? Korra squeals and bounces around my mind. “Why would I pack?” This can’t be right. He walks in and scans the room finding Gabe and Nikki on my bed. “I have orders to take you to your new room,” Odis says politely. He’s wearing a dark grey suit and it looks nice but out of place. It’s the weekend and he’s wearing a suit. Focus Adea, he’s making you move rooms, now is not the time to be wondering why he’s wearing a suit. “Where are you taking her?” Nikki asks Odis. Her eyes are red from crying. “Alpha Ethan wants her to move to her new room. Since she won’t be going back, she will be staying here. This room is for guests.” I look at Gabe and his expression is calm like he knew this was going to happen. “I’ll help Ady,” he says standing up.
