Fated to My Forbidden Alpha – Chapter 16
The night after the attack was restless.
Blood Moon Packhouse had returned to an uneasy calm, but no one truly slept.
Selene lay in the infirmary room alone, staring at the ceiling.
The memory of the chandelier crashing down kept replaying in her mind.
If Alexander hadn’t been there…
She exhaled slowly.
“Lyla…”
Her wolf responded instantly.
“I’m here.”
“Why do I feel like everything is getting worse?”
A pause.
Then Lyla spoke carefully.
“Because the truth is getting closer.”
Selene frowned.
“What truth?”
But Lyla didn’t answer.
Not directly.
Instead—
“Three Alphas are now connected to you.”
Selene sat up.
“That’s impossible.”
“It’s real.”
Her heart tightened.
Jackson.
Alexander.
And the strange presence she could no longer ignore.
Everything was becoming too much.
Meanwhile, in the main hall, chaos had finally been contained.
Jackson stood with his back to everyone, fists clenched.
The chandelier incident had shaken the entire pack.
Not just because of the attack…
But because of who was standing beneath it.
Selene.
Again.
Alexander had saved her.
Again.
Jackson’s wolf paced violently inside him.
Mine.
The word was no longer subtle.
It was a demand.
Beta Luke approached cautiously.
“Alpha… the investigation confirms it was sabotage.”
Jackson didn’t turn.
“Who?”
“We don’t know yet.”
Luke hesitated.
“But…”
Jackson’s voice dropped.
“But what?”
“There were signs… it may have been someone inside the pack.”
Silence.
Then—
A low, dangerous aura erupted from Jackson.
“Find them.”
Luke nodded quickly.
“Yes, Alpha.”
But as Luke turned away, Jackson’s eyes drifted toward the infirmary.
And for the first time…
He didn’t know whether his anger was directed at the attacker…
Or at Alexander Kane.
At the same time, Alexander stood on the balcony outside the manor.
Wind moved through the trees.
The moonlight painted everything silver.
Yet his attention wasn’t on the scenery.
It was on the bond.
It pulsed again.
Stronger than before.
Closer.
His wolf growled softly.
Mate.
Alexander narrowed his eyes.
“She’s here,” he murmured.
Drake stood behind him.
“Still no confirmation from Jackson?”
Alexander didn’t respond immediately.
Because he already knew something was wrong.
The bond didn’t behave normally.
It reacted to Selene…
And also reacted when Jackson was near her.
That should not be possible.
Unless—
Something about her was hidden.
Something very old.
Very dangerous.
Inside the infirmary, Selene suddenly felt a sharp pulse through her chest.
She gasped.
“Lyla!”
Her wolf reacted immediately.
“This is not pain,” Lyla said quickly.
“Then what is it?”
Silence.
Then Lyla whispered:
“It’s a call.”
Selene froze.
“A call from who?”
But before Lyla could answer—
A voice interrupted from the doorway.
“Are you alright?”
Selene turned sharply.
Alexander stood there.
Calm.
Controlled.
Yet his eyes betrayed something deeper.
Concern.
Selene instinctively stepped back.
“I’m fine.”
Alexander didn’t move closer.
Instead, he studied her carefully.
“You shouldn’t be alone.”
“I’m used to it.”
The words came out sharper than she intended.
A flicker passed through Alexander’s expression.
Something like pain.
Or recognition.
Then—
“Not anymore.”
Selene frowned.
“What does that mean?”
Alexander hesitated.
For the first time…
He didn’t have an answer.
Because the bond inside him pulsed again—
But this time it was different.
It wasn’t just attraction.
It wasn’t just recognition.
It felt like something awakening.
Something ancient.
At that exact moment, deep inside the Blood Moon archives…
Alpha Ethel was reading the last sealed record.
His hands trembled.
Because he had finally found it.
The missing report.
The original incident file from fifteen years ago.
And what he saw made his blood run cold.
The child they had recorded as “orphaned”…
Was not simply found near the battlefield.
She had been taken.
Moved.
And re-registered under a false identity.
His daughter.
Selene.
Ethel closed his eyes.
“No…”
When he opened them again—
There was no doubt left.
Someone in Blood Moon Pack had hidden the truth.
And whoever it was…
Had stolen his child.
Back in the infirmary, Selene suddenly felt another presence.
Heavy.
Cold.
Familiar.
She turned slightly.
Jackson stood at the end of the corridor.
Watching.
He had heard everything.
Not the words.
But the silence between her and Alexander.
The bond.
The connection.
The shift.
His jaw tightened.
And for the first time in years…
Jackson Richford felt something unfamiliar.
Fear.
Not of losing control.
But of losing her.
Because deep inside his wolf—
The rejection he had planned…
Was no longer as certain as it once was.
And somewhere in the darkness of Blood Moon territory…
Tiffany watched from a distance.
Smiling.
Because she had just realized something important.
Selene wasn’t just a threat.
She was a mistake that needed correcting.
Permanently.
