Mated To The Alpha King (Raven and Ethan) novel Chapter 120

Chapter 120

Mpha Ethan’s Pow

Iran into the woods immediately, my legs moving on instinct, guided only by the overwhelming tension burning in my chest.

The healer said it’s not been long she left I could still feel her presence, faint but familiar. Her scent lingered in the air like a whisper, like a warning.

Why was she in the woods? Why now? Why would she run again?

Did she think the darkness between us could be escaped so easily?

I pushed through branches, my breath ragged as the moonlight til

through the treetops. My wolf starred restlessly within me, uneasy, agitated. Every

fiber of my being was on edge. The trees parted suddenly, and that’s when it hit me her scent. Strong. Fresh.

I froze.

Again?

This was the second time I was catching her scent this vividly, unnaturally so. My brows furrowed as confusion laced through me. Why? Was she trying to

No. She didn’t know I’d follow. She never expected me to.

Still, my feet moved on their own, guided by the trail of her scent that called to me like a lifeline. I followed it deeper into the forest, past where the path turned wild and unkempt, into a part of the woods even I rarely ventured into

The trees thinned gradually, and I began to hear something wind.

And then, I saw her.

A large brown wolf stood at the edge of the woods.

Majestic. Sull. Broken

Something in me knew I didn’t need confirmation. It was her. Raven,

My breath caught.

I stopped, watching her from a distance as the moonlight bathed her fur, illuminating the quiet agony in her stance. She was at the border no, beyond that. She was nearing the edge of something.

Walt…

My gaze swept beyond her.

There was a cliff.

She stood dangerously close to it

Panic surged through me.

She began to shift, her body morphing back into human form, and without hesitation, she reached down and grabbed a pile of clothes she nearby.

She was quick, efficient, not caring that the air was cold or that her skin trembled. She dressed in silence, and I stepped out of the trees just as she was finishing..

“What the hell are you doing?” My voice cracked through the night.

She didn’t flinch.

She didn’t even turn around at first.

Then she did. Slowly. Her eyes were hollow, her hair tangled by the breeze, and her expression unreadable.

“Isn’t it obvious?” she said with a better smile

I took a step forward, heart hammering. “You’re standing at the edge of a damn cliff, Raven.”

She crossed her arms, her voice steady despite the storm in her eyes. “I’m here to jump, Alpha. Isn’t that what people do when they’re t everything?”

Igrowled. “You’re not doing this. Get away from there.”

Tired of

“Why?” she asked, cocking her head. “Because we had a deal? You said if I gave you the best fuck of your life, you’d set me free. I kept my end, didn’t 17 So why did you turn around and punish me again?”

“You’re ungrateful,” I snarled, “I could have let the council have their way. They wanted to sentence you to death. I stopped them.”

“You should have let them” she screamed, her voice cracking. “It would’ve been easier than living like this. At least I wouldn’t be hoping for things that will never happen. At least I wouldn’t be hurting every time you look at me like I’m filth.”

I took another step closer. “You don’t get to decide when your life ends. Not when I haven’t said so.”

Her eyes widened with disgust. “You don’t own me, Ethan.

“I do!” I snapped, my control slipping. “You’re mine, whether you want to be or not.”

“No,” she said, her voice shaking now. “I regret everything, I regret beleving for a second that maybe, just maybe, you’d come to your senses. That you’d finally see me. Really see me not as a slave, not as a maid, not as a toy, bát as someone who might have been your true mate.”

Her words stabbed deep into a part of me I didn’t know existed. I clenched my fists, trying to breathe.

“I did everything” she continued. “I endured everything. And still, you don’t see it. You think she’s your mate? Olivia? The one who used witchcraft on you? You think this is normal, Ethan? Do you even feel the bond anymore, or is it just the spell keeping you blind?”

y head, chest heaving, “What are you talking about?”

I shook my

She scoffed. “It doesn’t matter. It’s not like I owe you an explanation. Not anymore.”

And with that, she took a step back.

Toward the edge.

My heart stopped.

“Raven,” I said, low and dangerous.

“I’m tired,” she whispered. “I’m tired of hoping, of breaking, of begging. I’m tired of you.”

“No!” I shouted, but she already leaned back, her feet at the edge

Ishifted instantly, bones cracking, fur bursting across my body as my wolf took over

Everything blurred.

Wind, Rocks. Her screant,

Then my teeth clamped around her am just as her feet lost contact with the ground.

We fell

But Taught her

Claws digging into the earth, my body slammed against the edge of the cliff, barely managing to hold on, her

falling over with her. My wolf growled in agony, straining every muscle to pull her back,

She was slipping.

She cried out as I shifted back into human form, still gripping her, sweat and blood mixing as i heaved with everythin

“Don’t you dare,” I growled through clenched teeth. “Don’t you fucking dare fall!”

Her eyes met mine, filled with tears and disbelief.
