Bound By The Shackles Of Fate

"I hate the effect you have on me" I said softly but I can feel my body betraying me by yearning for his touch. "It doesn't seem like that to me. You want this. You want me" He chuckled softly. I could feel his hands on the small of my back reaching out to caress my bare skin. I shuddered. Just one touch alone and I let my guards down. "Now say the words, Aria" "I want you. I need you" *** On the night of her Luna ceremony, Aria's world unravels when she catches her betrothed, Luca, in a compromising position with her cousin, Indie. Heartbroken yet she desperately clings to the hope that Luca will return to the love he once showed her. Just as she is about to be introduced as Luca's Luna, Alpha Kael bursts into the hall. A beast with a devil’s reputation, he claims Aria as his fated mate. As Luca resolves to fight for her, a fierce rivalry ignites between the two powerful Alphas. Conflicted and confused, Aria must choose between the love she once shared with Luca and an uncertain but dark future with Kael. Amid the tension, Aria harbors hidden secrets—some she knows all too well, and other secrets she is yet to find out. What happens when these secrets start unfolding before their own eyes?

Chapter: Chapter 38— Why didn't you reach out to me?
~ARIA~“I need to apologize to you" Damon said. I stood up quickly, holding my hand up to stop him. “No, Damon, it’s not your fault.But Damon didn’t seem convinced. He shifted uncomfortably.“It’s not your fault, Damon,” I repeated. “Yesterday was... one of the best days of my life. I mean it.” Damon stiffened, his eyes avoiding mine, and before I could say anything more, he bowed. He turned and left the room. I couldn’t help but feel that the bond we had started forming was now broken.~The following weeks felt like a blur. My days were spent in a routine, waking up, getting ready, sometimes cooking, sometimes talking to Lena or the other maids. Lady Seraphine and I had become closer, due to the constant calls. It felt good to have an older friend. But Damon… He was distant, avoiding eye contact, keeping conversations short and professional. It was like we were back to where we started, where I was nothing more than Kael’s mate and he was just the stoic Beta.And yet, every time

Chapter: Chapter 37— Don't you miss me?
~ARIA~ I stared at my phone screen, feeling my hands tremble as I scrolled through the comments. I let out a soft sob, wiping my eyes with the back of my hand, but it didn’t help. The tears kept coming, unstoppable.I cried for some minute but what felt like hours. There was a knock on my door. I heard Lena’s voice calling from the other side, soft and gentle, but I couldn’t bring myself to respond. I was tired of the constant pity. She didn’t say anything else, but I could tell she was still there, waiting for me to change my mind. But I didn’t. Instead, I picked up my phone again, scrolling through the endless stream of comments. Then my phone rang. I glanced at the screen, and saw that it was an unknown number. I frowned, wondering who it could be but I didn't pick up. It rang again, and I almost didn’t pick up. But something told me I should. Maybe it was Luca, maybe he wanted to check on me. I didn’t want to talk to him either, but I didn’t have the energy to ignore it anym

Chapter: Chapter 36— #daria
~DAMON~ I couldn’t stop the smile from creeping across my face as I left Aria. The guards were keeping watch as usual, and I quickly gave them some instructions to ensure everything was in order. I trusted them to handle things, but there was always a part of me that remained vigilant. I entered into my car and drove away from Kael’s estate. The day had been... well, unexpected. I’d figured Aria might enjoy a change of pace, something simple to distract her from everything that had happened recently. But I hadn’t anticipated just how much fun it would be. Watching her interact with the kids at the orphanage, seeing the way she effortlessly connected with them, was a sight to see. She had a kind of warmth about her that radiated. It was easy to see why they took to her so quickly. And Dahlia—seeing her bond with Aria had been its own thing. The way Dahlia’s face lit up when Aria spoke to her. I had to admit it: Aria would make a fantastic mother someday. I shook my head as if tryin

Chapter: Chapter 35— Trouble in Paradise
~ARIA~Just as we were about to leave, I turned to Damon “Hey, before we head out, do you think I should change my outfit?” I said, glancing down at my clothes.Damon raised an eyebrow at me, “You look just fine, Aria. No need to change" The way he said my name tickled me and I almost smiled before I caught myself. What the fuck! Focus Aria.I blinked hard, “But..""No buts" Damon interrupted gently. "You look good and more importantly you look comfortable.”“Okay, okay, I guess you're right.” I raised my hands as a way to surrender.Damon nodded, “You're perfect just the way you are."I paused. I wasn't expecting those words from Damon. I was about to say something but then he started moving towards the door. I followed him without saying another word. He led me outside to one of the cars. He opened the back door for me, and I smiled, thanking him. But then, to my surprise, I reached for the front seat instead.Damon’s voice floated in my ears. "You're not supposed to sit in the fr

Chapter: Chapter 34— An Alpha without a Luna is incomplete
~KAEL~ I couldn't stop thinking in my room in Red Haven Pack, with so much frustration. Ever since my father’s death and I became Alpha of Silver Moon Pack, my mother had stopped living there. Instead, she traveled the world seeking distractions from grief, popping in occasionally to offer advice—or more often, to pester me about settling down and taking a Luna. “Kael, it’s time for a strong she-wolf by your side,” she’d say. “An Alpha without a Luna is incomplete.” Her visits were rare, and I’d tolerated her constant absence. But now, she was collapsing from stress, worn out by her relentless tourism. She wasn’t young anymore. Traveling like she was still a youthful wolf wasn’t good for her health. I had to convince her to stay in Silver Moon Pack. It wouldn't be easy, but I needed to convince her that home was where she belonged, not gallivanting across borders. No more unnecessary trips. I rubbed my temples, considering how to approach it. The sharp ring of my phone c

Chapter: Chapter 33— I'm moving into Kael's mansion
~ARIA~ I guess I would have to apologize later to Damon for my overreaction. I went into my room. I did my simple skincare routine. I stood by the mirror, debating if makeup was necessary. My pale skin still showed hints of redness from the heated exchange with Damon earlier, and my lips were slightly swollen from biting them in frustration. “No makeup today" I muttered. Then I stood in front of my closet and decided to keep things simple. I chose a comfortable outfit: a fitted white t-shirt tucked into a pair of high waisted jeans. I paired it with simple sandals and pulled my hair into a loose ponytail, a few stray strands framing my face. Light makeup was still tempting, but I shook my head and decided against it. Satisfied, I took a deep breath before stepping out of my room. My footsteps echoed softly as I made my way to the dining room. But instead of heading straight to the dining room, an idea sparked in my mind—I’d cook something since Kael wasn't around. Back in N
