Lahat ng Kabanata ng Forsaken With His Pups: Kabanata 11 - Kabanata 20

Aria’s POV“Go back the way you came. Defy me and I’ll destroy everything you call home.”Kaelen’s voice cut through the air. It was deep, steady, and full of conviction. The kind of tone that made your chest tighten without even realizing it.The guards froze where they stood. Their eyes shifted, uncertain, like they were waiting for someone else to speak first. I could feel the tension wrapping around us, thick and heavy.Before any of them could open their mouths, Kaelen took a step forward. His presence alone was enough to make the air feel heavier.“Now, get out of here,” he said coldly. “Unless you want me to declare war against your Alpha.” He paused, a small smirk forming on his lips. “And oh—before you leave, send him my regards. Tell him I somehow miss him.”The way he said it sent chills down my spine. His voice was mocking, almost playful, but his eyes were full of disdain. He didn’t mean a single word of that. He just wanted to humiliate them.The guards didn’t move at fi

Aria’s POV“No…”He’s not really going to keep me here, right? He wouldn’t actually take control of me. Force me to stay. Force me to him! The thought makes my stomach twist. I can’t let that happen!I take a small step back, my heartbeat hammering so loud I can barely hear anything else. My body wants to move—run—escape. I don’t care where I end up. I don’t care if I have to run barefoot through the woods, lost for days. I just can’t stay here. Not with him!An alarm blares through the hall. My head snaps toward the door as heavy footsteps echo outside, growing louder.“What’s going on?”The door bursts open with a loud bang, making me jump. Kaelen storms out. Lennox is right behind him. A couple of guards follow, out of breath, with eyes darting around like they’re expecting an attack.“Report!” Kaelen shouted. “What’s going on?!”“Alpha!” one of the guards yells. “We don’t know what’s happening! The alarm just went off—something’s attacking the borders!”His jaw tightens. He doesn’

Aria’s POVHe was sitting too close.I immediately pulled my hand away because the closeness was too much.I didn’t even notice it at first until I realized his hand was resting lightly on the back of my waist. His palms were big—warm, steady—and they made my waist feel impossibly small under his touch.I stood between his legs, holding a damp cloth in my hands as I carefully cleaned the wounds on his chest. The smell of herbs mixed with the faint scent of blood and sweat. My fingers brushed against his skin now and then, and every time they did, it felt like something electric moved through me.His eyes caught mine, and for a moment, I forgot what I was supposed to be doing. Those eyes—they weren’t cold or harsh like everyone said. They were mesmerizing, almost soft, like a storm that had finally decided to rest. For the first time since I arrived here, I saw something real behind them.Everyone called him ruthless, heartless, the kind of man who didn’t care about anyone or anything.

Aria’s POV“Now,” she said, straightening herself, “you have to pay for those—the food, the plates you ruined.”“But you did this, not me!”I pointed at her, trying to explain, but she slapped my hand away so fast that the sound echoed through the hallway.“Don’t you dare point your fingers here, outsider!” she hissed. “I am the lead healer, assigned to take care of the Alpha. You’re just a commoner. You just got here!”Her tone dripped with contempt, and her words sliced through me before I could even think of what to say.“And from what we know,” she continued, her voice louder now so everyone around could hear, “the other kingdom is looking for you. You probably did something wrong, that’s why you’re running away. It wouldn’t surprise us if you betrayed us too—if you ever get the chance.”My chest tightened, and my throat burned from the humiliation. I wanted to defend myself, to tell her she didn’t know anything about me, but my voice was swallowed by the heavy silence that follow

Aria’s POV“Kaelen!”I shouted his name, but he didn’t respond. His eyes stayed shut, and his breathing sounded weak, like each inhale took too much effort. His arms were wrapped around me, but even that hold—something that always felt strong before—slowly loosened.My stomach dropped.“No… no, stay with me,” I whispered, shaking him gently. “Kaelen, please!”But his head only leaned forward, and his body grew heavier in my arms. Panic hit me so hard that my legs moved before I even realized it. I forced myself up and rushed toward the door. I didn’t look back. I was afraid that if I saw him again, it would confirm the fear growing inside me—that he was slipping away.I sprinted through the hallway. I shouted. “Where are the healers?!”I looked everywhere—each room, each passing face. My hands trembled as I grabbed the arm of one guard. “Where is Priscilla?”“Why?” Their expression was full of disdain.“Please, I need her help! Kaelen is in trouble!”But before he could answer, two gu
