Fated to My Forbidden Alpha – Chapter 27
The deeper Selene walked into the underground passage of Blood Moon Manor…
The colder the air became.
This was not a natural basement.
It was sealed.
Ancient.
And deliberately hidden.
Stone steps spiraled downward, carved with old runes that no ordinary wolf language could read.
But Selene could feel them.
Not read them.
Feel them.
“They’re reacting to you,” Lyla whispered.
Selene nodded slowly.
“I can feel it too.”
Her silver eyes glowed faintly in the darkness.
“This place knows me.”
Behind her, footsteps followed.
Jackson.
Alexander.
Ethel.
None of them tried to stop her anymore.
Because they all felt it now.
The underground wasn’t just a location.
It was a memory sealed inside the territory.
A forbidden truth buried beneath Blood Moon Pack.
At the bottom of the stairs, the corridor opened into a massive sealed chamber.
The moment Selene stepped inside—
The air shifted violently.
A pulse of energy slammed into her chest.
She staggered.
“Selene!”
Alexander moved instinctively forward.
But stopped mid-step.
Because something invisible pushed him back.
Jackson felt it too.
His wolf snarled.
“This barrier…”
Ethel’s face turned pale.
“It’s Bloodwind sealing magic.”
Silence.
Selene slowly lifted her head.
In the center of the chamber stood a massive circular structure.
A containment seal.
And inside it—
A broken throne.
Covered in cracks.
And dried blood.
Selene walked forward alone.
Each step triggered faint flashes in her mind.
A crown.
A war.
A betrayal.
Lyla trembled.
“I don’t like this place…”
Selene whispered back.
“Neither do I.”
But she didn’t stop.
Because something was calling her.
Not Alexander.
Not Jackson.
Not even Ethel.
Something deeper.
Older.
Suddenly—
The seal in the center flickered.
And a voice echoed through the chamber.
Not Lyla.
Not the ancient Bloodwind voice Selene had heard before.
This one was different.
Cold.
Calculated.
Familiar.
“So you finally found it.”
Selene froze.
Jackson’s aura exploded instantly.
“Show yourself!”
Alexander stepped forward.
“Lucian Blackthorn.”
Silence.
Then—
Applause.
Slow.
Mocking.
A shadow detached itself from the darkness behind the seal.
A man stepped forward.
Black cloak.
Calm expression.
Eyes that carried no emotion.
Lucian Blackthorn.
Ethel’s breath hitched.
“You…”
Lucian smiled faintly.
“Hello, Ethel.”
His gaze shifted.
Then landed on Selene.
And stayed there.
For a long moment.
“You look different from when I last saw you.”
Selene’s heart tightened.
“What did you do to me?”
Lucian tilted his head slightly.
“I didn’t do anything.”
A pause.
“I simply made sure you survived correctly.”
Silence.
Jackson stepped forward.
“Explain.”
Lucian finally looked at him.
“You’re in the way.”
The pressure in the room changed instantly.
Alexander reacted immediately.
“He’s not alone.”
As if answering him—
More figures emerged from the darkness behind Lucian.
Nightwind-level warriors.
But something was wrong.
Their eyes were empty.
Controlled.
Selene’s breath caught.
“What are they?”
Lucian answered calmly.
“Residual Bloodwind subjects.”
Ethel’s voice shook.
“You used my daughter for experiments…”
Lucian smiled slightly.
“Your daughter?”
A pause.
Then—
“She was never just yours.”
Suddenly—
The seal beneath Selene’s feet lit up.
Violently.
Lyla screamed inside her mind.
“Selene, get back!”
But it was too late.
The seal reacted to her presence.
To her bloodline.
Chains of silver light shot upward.
Wrapping around her wrists.
“Selene!” Jackson lunged forward.
But the barrier slammed him back.
Alexander attacked instantly—
Same result.
Neither Alpha could cross.
Selene gasped.
“Lyla!”
But Lyla didn’t respond.
Because something else was taking over.
The ancient voice returned.
Calm.
Commanding.
“Return.”
Selene froze.
“What…?”
Lucian watched quietly.
“This is the original trigger.”
Ethel shouted.
“Stop it!”
Lucian didn’t move.
“She belongs to the seal now.”
Selene’s vision blurred.
Memories surged violently.
Not just childhood.
Not just kidnapping.
But something deeper.
A second identity being forced into her bloodline.
She screamed.
“No—!”
The silver chains tightened.
Alexander’s eyes darkened.
“She’s being overwritten.”
Jackson roared.
“I said—LET HER GO!”
But Lucian only raised one hand.
And the entire chamber responded.
The seal activated fully.
The underground Bloodwind structure came alive.
And Selene—
Started to disappear inside it.
Ethel collapsed to his knees.
“No… not again…”
Lucian turned slightly.
“This time, she won’t be stolen.”
A pause.
“She will be completed.”
Selene’s eyes widened in horror.
“Completed…?”
And for the first time—
She realized something terrifying.
This wasn’t a rescue.
This was a reactivation.
She was not just a lost daughter.
She was a system.
And Blood Moon…
Was only the lock.
