Fated to My Forbidden Alpha – Chapter 24
The Blood Moon Manor did not sleep that night.
After Selene’s awakening declaration, every corridor felt different.
Warriors were on alert.
Guards were repositioned.
And inside the command hall, three Alphas stood around the same truth—
A truth that was now impossible to hide.
Selene was Bloodwind.
And someone inside Blood Moon had erased her.
Jackson slammed his fist onto the war table.
“Find the traitor.”
His voice was no longer conflicted.
It was sharp.
Commanding.
Dangerous.
Beta Luke immediately lowered his head.
“Yes, Alpha.”
But Alexander didn’t react the same way.
His gaze stayed fixed on the report Ethel had placed on the table.
Old records.
Sealed files.
Names erased and rewritten.
“This isn’t just betrayal,” Alexander said quietly.
Jackson turned sharply.
“What are you implying?”
Alexander looked up.
“I’m implying this was organized.”
Silence.
Ethel’s expression darkened.
“Yes.”
Both Alphas turned toward him.
Ethel continued slowly.
“This wasn’t one rogue decision.”
He pointed at the file.
“This was Blood Moon leadership.”
The room froze.
Jackson’s aura flared instantly.
“That’s impossible.”
But deep down—
Something in him didn’t deny it as strongly as before.
At that moment, Selene was no longer in the infirmary.
She stood inside her own consciousness again.
But this time—
It wasn’t fragmented.
It was structured.
A sealed memory chamber.
Ancient stone walls.
Runes glowing faintly.
And at the center—
A figure waiting.
Not Lyla.
Not the ancient voice.
Something else.
A woman.
Selene stepped forward.
“Who are you?”
The woman smiled faintly.
“I am what was left behind to protect you.”
Selene frowned.
“Protect me from what?”
The woman’s expression darkened.
“From the truth they buried.”
Selene’s heart tightened.
“Who buried it?”
A long silence.
Then—
“Blood Moon.”
The name echoed like a curse.
Back in reality, Selene suddenly gasped.
Her body jolted.
Silver energy erupted from her again—but this time it didn’t explode outward.
It stabilized.
Controlled.
Focused.
Alexander immediately stepped forward.
“She’s stabilizing.”
Jackson narrowed his eyes.
“No… she’s choosing.”
Ethel whispered.
“Yes.”
All eyes turned to Selene.
Her breathing slowed.
Her eyes opened.
But they were no longer chaotic.
They were clear.
Focused.
And frighteningly calm.
Selene looked at Jackson first.
“You tried to reject me.”
Jackson froze.
His wolf growled defensively.
“I had reasons.”
Selene didn’t respond emotionally.
Only observed.
“Fear.”
The word hit harder than expected.
Jackson didn’t deny it.
Selene turned her gaze to Alexander.
“You think I belong to you.”
Alexander’s eyes narrowed slightly.
“I think fate disagrees with distance.”
A pause.
Selene studied him.
Then spoke softly.
“You are both wrong.”
Silence.
Even the air seemed to pause.
Selene stepped forward slowly.
“I don’t belong to either bond.”
A ripple of shock moved through the room.
But before anyone could speak—
Ethel interrupted.
“You belong to your bloodline.”
Selene turned toward him.
For the first time—
Her expression softened slightly.
“Then tell me.”
Her voice was steady.
“Who took me?”
Ethel’s hands trembled.
He opened his mouth—
But no words came out immediately.
Because the truth was heavier than grief.
Finally—
He spoke.
“Someone in Blood Moon Pack feared your existence.”
Jackson’s eyes darkened instantly.
“Name.”
Ethel hesitated.
Then—
A name dropped into the room like a blade.
And everything changed.
At the edge of the manor, Tiffany stood listening from the shadows.
When she heard the name—
Her face went pale.
For the first time since this began…
She wasn’t just afraid.
She was exposed.
“No…” she whispered.
“They found out too early.”
Her eyes narrowed.
Then hardened.
“If I fall… she falls with me.”
And in that moment—
Tiffany made a decision.
The next move would not be subtle.
It would be final.
Back inside, Selene’s wolf spoke quietly.
“Selene… something is coming.”
“What?”
Lyla hesitated.
“A war between truth and blood.”
Selene closed her eyes.
When she opened them again—
There was no confusion left.
Only certainty.
“Then I will stand in the center of it.”
Outside, thunder rolled across Blood Moon territory.
And for the first time in fifteen years—
The real enemy finally heard her awakening.
