Fated to My Forbidden Alpha – Chapter 30
The underground chamber did not remain stable for long.
Even after Selene regained control of the seal…
The world beneath Blood Moon Manor was still waking up.
Cracks of silver light spread across the stone floor like veins.
And somewhere deep below—
Something answered her.
Selene stood still at the center of the chamber.
Her breathing was steady now.
But her presence had changed again.
Not unstable.
Not overwhelmed.
Controlled… but alert.
Too alert.
Jackson stepped forward first.
“Selene…”
She didn’t look at him immediately.
Instead, she stared at her own hand.
As if listening to something no one else could hear.
“I can feel it,” she said quietly.
Alexander narrowed his eyes.
“Feel what?”
Selene finally looked up.
“…Everything.”
Silence.
Ethel’s face tightened.
“That means the seal is fully linked to you now.”
Selene nodded slightly.
But her expression wasn’t relief.
It was realization.
“Then this isn’t just about me,” she said.
A pause.
“It’s about everything under Blood Moon.”
Above them, Lucian’s voice echoed faintly through hidden channels in the chamber.
“You’re beginning to understand.”
Jackson’s wolf snapped instantly.
“Show yourself!”
But Lucian did not appear.
Instead—
His voice continued.
“Blood Moon is not a pack.”
“It is a containment zone.”
Alexander’s eyes darkened.
“…Containment?”
Lucian’s voice was calm.
“Of what you call Bloodwind.”
Selene’s chest tightened.
Lyla whispered inside her mind.
“Selene… don’t trust him fully.”
“I know.”
But Selene was no longer reacting emotionally.
She was analyzing.
For the first time—
like something awakening above emotion.
Suddenly—
The seal beneath her feet pulsed again.
But this time, it did not attack.
It responded.
A holographic structure of glowing runes expanded outward, forming a massive circular map beneath them.
Jackson stepped back slightly.
“What is this?”
Ethel’s eyes widened.
“The original Bloodwind core system…”
Alexander looked down.
“This is not a prison.”
Selene finished quietly.
“It’s infrastructure.”
Silence.
The truth settled heavier than any attack.
Then—
The chamber lit up again.
But this time, not from Selene.
From the system itself.
A deep mechanical-like voice echoed.
“SECONDARY USER DETECTED.”
Selene froze.
“…Secondary?”
The voice continued.
“PRIMARY BLOODWIND CORE: AWAKENED.”
“CONTAINMENT PROTOCOL: ACTIVE.”
Jackson frowned sharply.
“What is it saying?”
Alexander answered immediately.
“It thinks she is not the only key.”
Selene turned slowly.
“…There’s another core?”
Ethel’s expression darkened instantly.
“No…”
His voice was almost a whisper.
“There was never supposed to be a second one.”
Silence.
Then—
A new sound echoed from beneath the chamber.
A slow activation.
A response.
Something was awakening.
But it was not Selene.
The ground cracked open slightly.
Dark silver light leaked upward.
Jackson instinctively moved in front of Selene.
Alexander did the same—but from another angle.
The tension between them vanished for the first time.
Because now—
The threat was not emotional.
It was structural.
Selene whispered.
“…This is not mine alone.”
Lyla responded softly.
“No.”
A pause.
“Something else is inside the system.”
Suddenly—
Lucian’s voice returned.
This time closer.
More focused.
“You finally found it.”
Ethel stepped forward.
“What did you do?”
Lucian’s shadow finally appeared at the edge of the chamber.
Not fully visible.
But present.
“I didn’t create Bloodwind alone,” he said calmly.
A pause.
“I only stabilized it.”
Selene narrowed her eyes.
“Stabilized what?”
Lucian looked directly at her.
“The second core.”
Silence shattered.
Jackson’s wolf growled.
Alexander’s expression tightened.
Ethel looked devastated.
“…You activated it.”
Lucian smiled faintly.
“Of course.”
His gaze shifted toward Selene.
“Because you were never meant to carry it alone.”
Suddenly—
A violent pulse exploded from beneath them.
The second core activated.
The entire chamber shook.
Cracks expanded rapidly.
Selene staggered slightly.
But this time—
she did not lose control.
She listened.
Her eyes widened slightly.
“…It’s calling me.”
Lyla’s voice trembled.
“No… it’s not calling you.”
A pause.
“It’s recognizing you.”
Selene whispered.
“Recognizing what?”
A long silence.
Then—
“Its other half.”
Jackson stepped forward sharply.
“No one is taking her.”
Alexander glanced at him.
“For once… we agree.”
Both Alphas moved closer to Selene.
Not to claim.
But to protect.
Because whatever was awakening below…
was not part of any bond.
It was older.
And it was incomplete.
Selene looked at both of them.
Then at the glowing system beneath her.
And finally spoke.
“…Then I go first.”
Jackson frowned.
“Selene—”
But she stepped forward anyway.
And the seal responded instantly.
The ground beneath her split open into silver light.
Before anyone could stop her—
Selene fell into the awakening core.
And the chamber above went silent.
Lucian smiled faintly.
“Now… let the second Bloodwind awaken begin.”
