A Bond Not Meant To Be
Some fates are written in the stars. Others must be rewritten in fire.
Lucille, born into the lowest-ranking werewolf pack, the Omegas, called, the Commoners, never imagined the Moon Goddess would mate her to someone so far above her: the heir to the third most powerful man in the nation.
But what should have been her salvation became her downfall.
Despised and humiliated by her fated mate, Lucille broke a sacred law by rejecting him, unaware of the consequences. Branded a traitor, she was sentenced to five years of servitude in his home, enduring cruel treatment under his command.
When she dared to escape, even briefly, the punishment nearly broke her.
Then everything changed. A newly elected High Councilor overturned her sentence, granting her the one thing she thought she’d never have again. Freedom.
Now Lucille is determined to build a future on her own terms. But fate isn’t done with her yet. When she falls in love with a man who makes her believe in happiness again, she discovers a devastating truth: he is the cousin of her former mate.
Their love is forbidden. The laws are clear. And the Goddess may not forgive her a second time.
Can love survive when destiny has already spoken?
Will Lucille forever be bound to the stigma of her choices forever?
Or will fate, give her a second embrace?

Chapter: Chapter 12: Justice not betrayal THAT SAME NIGHT. IN THE JONES ESTATE.The room was quiet, but a thick air of fury blew across every corner.Williams Jones stood in the middle of the room, his face red with anger. His voice was loud and sharp. “You made a fool of this family, Mitch. In front of the whole Council!”Andrea Jones, sitting beside his son, looked tired. His hands were shaking slightly. “He didn’t mean to disrespect anyone, Williams. He just—”“Don’t!” Williams barked. “Don’t defend him! That girl, broke the mate bond with Edward. She went against our laws. The punishment was clear, silver suppressing injection. It needed seven seals. Seven. And your son was the only one who didn’t sign it!”Mitch sat on the sofa, legs spread, arms folded. He looked calm. Too calm. “I didn’t think she deserved that

Chapter: Chapter 11: Servitude decided Without further words, Lord Arthur turned toward the door, his stride purposeful. The other council members followed him back to the courtroom, and to the judgement throne, then took their designated seats.The courtroom was silent, heavy with anticipation. Lucille heart pounded in her chest. Her hands were clasped tightly in front of her, trying to steady herself, but the tremble was undeniable. Would the silver suppressing continue? Or would it be a harsher punishment.The courtroom quieted down the moment the council returned.Lord Arthur stood up, "with the power bestowed on me, I will continue this proceeding,"His gaze pinned on Lucille. "Lucille Clinton," he began, his voice carrying across the room, "you, an Omega, stand before this council accused of severing your bond with Edward Jones, a man of noble blood. As stated in the law, your actions have earned you punishment. The council has deli

Chapter: Chapter 10: An unexpected Ally It was Lord Mitch. With a swift motion, he pushed the document aside, his face twisted with defiance. The clerk hesitated for a moment, then picked up the document, his eyes nervously shifting between the council members, waiting for further instructions. “What did you say?” Lord Arthur snapped.Lord's Mitch voice was calm but firm. “You ask me to seal punishment for a woman who severed a bond with cause. That is not justice. That is control.”The elites erupted in outrage. Edward's face twisted in fury. Without the seven seals, the judgement would not stand.The Omegas sat up straighter, hope flickering in their tired eyes.Lucille blinked, stunned. She hadn’t expected an ally.Lord Arthur's eyes burned. “You defy the council?”Lord Mitch met his gaze without flinching. “I uphold the law. If you want tyranny, write it plainly.”The scroll trembled in the scribe’s hands. He hadn't experienced such scene before in the court room.Lord Mitch leans forward, slamming his hand against his

Chapter: Chapter 9: The Verdict At the first row where the Grandville pack was seated, Edward Jones sat elegantly. He was dressed in a black, luxurious tailored suit. His eyes were deep, and on Lucille, who made no attempt to scan that part of the courtroom.Without warning, a sharp trumpet blast pierced the air. It echoed off the walls, making hearts race and heads lower. It wasn’t just sound; it was a signal, a declaration, that the Tribunal council had arrived.Every pack member froze, eyes locked on the tall double doors by the left.The doors slid open, revealing seven figures dressed in tailored black suits and long, ceremonial coats lined with silver threading. Each one of them exuded cold, inhuman composure. Their presence alone demanded submission.The moment the tribunal council members walked in, everyone rose. The commoners bowed their heads right away. Some dropped to one knee. Others lowered their eyes, too afraid to meet the gaze of such power. Mothers pulled their children close. A few people whisper

Chapter: Chapter 8: Full Moon judgement Two weeks had passed.Lucille stood silently in her cell, staring out through the tiny window. It had been fourteen long days since the warden dragged her away and locked her up in isolation. The conditions were cruel, she was fed scraps just once a day and forced to scrub huge halls three times daily.She hadn’t seen or heard from her family since. No verdict was ever given in the werewolf kingdom unless it was under the full moon, and tonight, she believed, would be the night.She kept her eyes on the sky as the first light of dawn gave way to dusk. And then, slowly, the full moon appeared, round and golden, casting its glow across the land. A small wave of relief washed over her, at least something was finally happening.Moments later, the cell door creaked open. A female warden stepped in, her face cold and unfriendly.“Stretch your hands,” she barked.Lucille didn’t hesitate. She raised her arms and felt the sting of silver cuffs snapping around her wrists.“Move!” the warden ord

Chapter: Chapter 7: Arrested The next morning, Lucille woke up with a terrible headache. The bruise on her forehead only made it worse, and now she felt a slight fever coming on.She sluggishly sat up, her eyes fixed on the wall, her body aching everywhere. The pain was unbearable, and even though she had been given pain relief at the clinic, it didn’t seem to help much.Maybe she had been too hopeful about the painkillers working. The clinic often used substandard drugs, and the Commoners typically relied on herbs they prepared themselves for healing.Perhaps she should ask her mother for some herbs.Her door opened, and Louis hurried in, rushing to her side. "How are you?" he asked, gently taking her arm, his face clouded with worry."You’ve got a fever!" he whispered, concern in his voice."My whole body hurts, Louis," Lucille replied, her voice hoarse from the pain and her breathing shallow."It's from the fall," he said softly, moving closer to examine her forehead."I don't think the medicine worked," he si
