Alpha's Unwanted Bond The Source Of Torment
Aiden's PovI was lost in thought of what I just witnessed and I couldn’t help but wonder what Skylar wanted from me. One thing I know for sure is that the pregnancy she claimed was mine wasn’t mine but I’ll pretend pending the time I break free from this shackles. What could be that shadow?Just as I stood up from the edge of the bed, a sudden thought struck me like a lightning bolt. If Skylar was cunning enough to keep something hidden, where would she keep it? She would keep it somewhere I would never think to look, somewhere hidden, somewhere she knew I would never suspect. What if it’s in this room with room with me? I mean it’s an obvious and simple place. I would never think she would put something as powerful in the same room we shared.I scanned the room with fresh eyes. I started my search from the most obvious places like the closet, the bathroom, the bookshelves, my personal library, I even checked through the drawers because it’s been a while I used the library. I couldn’t
Alpha's Unwanted Bond Designing A New Destiny
Shenaya/ Emily's PovI looked out the window of my small but cozy apartment near the Seine River in Paris. My family, and the entire pack, had been incredibly supportive ever since I arrived here. Ethan and Mother insisted I stay in the pack house with them, but I begged for my own space. The thought of living in the pack house triggered my PTSD, and I feared it would bring back painful flashbacks. Thankfully, they agreed, on the condition that I would have two Omegas stay with me and that they’d visit me in my new apartment in the human world every day. I accepted their terms.A soft cooing sound drew my attention, and I turned to see Hailey, one of the Omegas, holding my baby boy. The memory of his birth was still fresh. When the doctor told me it was a boy, I couldn’t help but shed tears. I remembered how Aiden once mentioned he wanted a baby girl who looked exactly like me, and I laughed at him then.I named him Aaron Leonardo Caesar, but I simply call him Leo. Ethan had offered me
Alpha's Unwanted Bond The Ambush
Aiden’s Pov“How dare you, Skylar?” I snarled, my wolf teetering on the edge of control. My voice echoed off the cold stone walls of the dungeon. Skylar stood behind the bars, her head bowed, silent and unflinching, with part of her face hidden in the dim light.“Tell me who this shadow is, Skylar!” I ordered, authority lacing my voice as I stepped closer, struggling to contain my anger. But my Alpha command fell flat. Skylar remained mute. How was she managing to resist? She’s a Beta wolf, and my command should have worked on her. Then again, Skylar has always been full of surprises.The moment I broke free from Skylar’s mind shackles, I threw her in the dungeon—not just any dungeon, but one hidden deep within the pack’s territory.“You’re torturing a pregnant woman, Aiden,” she finally spoke, her voice trembling, eyes welling with tears. She tried to use her pregnancy as a shield, but it wasn’t going to work this time.“Did you think of Shenaya’s pregnancy when you threw her off the
Alpha's Unwanted Bond Shattered Bonds
Aiden's PovIt had been weeks since the attack on my Pack and the taste of defeat left me broken in more ways than one. The ambush was swift, brutal, and unexpected. Mighty didn’t just come for Skylar, he came to destroy me and words had spread across territories, leaving my pack vulnerable to attacks from any other pack. I cried for my own failure at defending my territory and now my pack which use to be one of the most feared and most peaceful pack in Rome is now left stack naked.I couldn’t bear the humiliation. I buried myself in the room for a while before I could stand feet again. I knew this was not the time to be weak. So I stood up and ready to take responsibilities for everything. I told my warriors to go back into training because now that word had spread across the territories, Alpha’s would wan to claim my pack and they would come with war. I already lost my dignity, I wasn’t ready to lose my pack. Not now, not ever.I searched every nook and cranny of territories and pack
Alpha's Unwanted Bond Rise Of An Alpha
Today is the day I accept my role as Co-Alpha. I will be taking on my responsibilities as an Alpha alongside Ethan, and I am excited. I am excited about this new beginning. I stood in front of the mirror, checking myself out as I got dressed for the coronation. Just as I was about to apply the last touch of mascara, my phone started ringing. I rolled my eyes when I saw who was calling, then tapped the green button to pick up.“Hey, bitch,” Lilah echoed through the phone. She had been calling me all day.“Good morning to you too,” I said, putting the phone on speaker and placing it on the table to continue my makeup.“When will you be here?” she smiled through.“After the coronation. I’ll be out,” I said. “Don’t tell me you won’t be here to witness the bonding,” I added, trying to fake hurt.“You know why I couldn’t make it, but I promise to make it up to you,” she said on the other end.“I’ll see you soon then.”“Bye,” she ended the call.Since I met Lilah at the mall the other day, sh
Alpha's Unwanted Bond Silent Vengeance
Mighty's POV“Skylar, you can do this. Push,” Dr. Brenda urged, her voice steady as she encouraged Skylar to push out the baby. I didn’t want to watch—this scene was too intense for me. Watching a human come out of another human was a little too extreme. Skylar screamed in response.“Just one more push,” Dr. Brenda said. With a loud scream, Skylar gave one final push, and the baby emerged. The sound of the baby’s cries filled the room. I gave Skylar a small smile and a nod of acknowledgment before I left.It was a joyful moment for everyone—except for me, of course. She wasn’t the one I wanted a child with. My heart still belonged to a girl I’d fallen in love with back in school in Italy, and I hadn’t stopped feeling that way since. I rejected my mate because of her. It was a shock when I returned to Rome and saw her again, that night, dancing in the rain. It was a magical moment until I realized I wasn’t the only one watching her.Back then, when we were young pups, I was bullied a lo
Alpha's Unwanted Bond The Search For Allies
Aiden's POVI jumped from the tree above and landed in my wolf form. He ran through the woods for his life, and my wolf followed close behind. Not that I couldn’t catch him immediately and tear him apart, but I enjoyed the chase. I loved watching my victims run and beg for their lives before killing them.I raced after him. He could’ve shifted into his wolf form too, but he was stupid. He just ran like a defenseless human. I pounced, ripping into him and tearing his head from his body. Lucas handed me a shirt as I shifted back to my human form. This was the thirteenth rogue wolf I’d killed this month.It’s been seven years of great torture, and I’ve enjoyed every bit of it. The pain reminds me I deserve all the bad things that have happened to me. Seven years since the Shadow’s attack on my pack. Seven years since my once-safe pack became a haven for rogue wolves. Seven years of trying to regain my dignity by hunting every last one of them.Different Alphas from other territories have
Alpha's Unwanted Bond A Desperate Alliance
Aiden's POVAs the evening’s gathering wound down and the Alpha king delivered his final speeches, the room erupted in applause. Packs from across the world were acknowledged, but none more than Alpha Ethan’s pack. To my surprise, the Rock Reel Pack of Paris was hailed for their innovation, prosperity, and strength. They were recognized not just as a powerful pack but as the most powerful pack in all of Paris.I felt a mixture of respect and urgency. This was the ally I had been looking for all along, even if the odds seemed stacked against me because Ethan’s pack was wealthy and independent, and didn’t need anything from my struggling territory. I thought about what I could offer and I resolved to offer him a ten percent share of my territory. Deep down, I knew that would be of little interest to a pack as self-sufficient as Ethan’s.As the formalities ended, I exchanged pleasantries with a few Alphas, making sure to keep my composure, though my mind was already calculating what to d

Alpha's Unwanted Bond Redemption
Skylar's POVI stood at the edge of the forest, staring at the Crescent Moon Pack grounds from the shadows. My heart was heavy with a weight I had carried for years—a burden born of betrayal, power, and regret. The whole betrayal thing had scarred me, it drove me to chase power to fill the void left. In the process, I had betrayed everyone, hurt Shenaya, and nearly destroyed everything I once held dear, just because of Andrew's fuel for power.I feel so lonely, I live in isolation, no one talks to me, and I live as a shadow that was why I insisted on having Zoey around. Deep down I want to have a purpose too, I wanted respect but all the power I possess right now keeps radiating without using it. Watching the Roux and the Casaer family from afar for years, I could see the consequences of my actions. Aiden was no longer the man I once wanted. Shenaya, his chosen Luna, had become the Alpha I never thought she could be, so strong, commanding, and loved by the pack. And I, a rogue in spir
Alpha's Unwanted Bond Forest Of Memories
Shenaya's POVThe air was thick with anticipation as I prepared for the journey that lay before me. Aunt Belle’s hut was filled with the scent of herbs, their pungent aroma lingered in the air as she arranged them into intricate patterns around a large circular tapestry. The room was very heavy with energy, the air tingled with the magic that would guide me to Aiden’s mind where I would search for his lost wolf and his broken memories.“Shenaya,” Aunt Belle said gently to balm against my frayed nerves, “I hope you still remember that this is not a physical Journey. It’s a journey within your mind. It's a place where memories are intertwined with emotions and spirit. I’ll be here to guide you, but only you can reach him.”I nodded slightly as I knelt on the tapestry, and my hand began to shake. My thoughts kept drifting to Aiden’s face, his empty eyes when they looked at me. His eyes used to be very warm whenever he looked at me but now they are filled with distance which I hate so muc
Alpha's Unwanted Bond The Missing Part
Aiden's POVThe sun was setting in faint, soft hues over the horizon, casting long shadows over Skylar’s garden. The fading light made the colors dimmer, the sky was heavier than usual. I sat under a tree, alone, lost in my thoughts, still feeling like a stranger within my own skin. I was near Skylar, my mate yet I felt hollow, like I was adrift, floating in a place I didn’t recognize, I recognized Skylar to be my mate but the emptiness I felt within me since the day I decided to follow her could not be comprehended. Her presence felt distant, as though I were standing in a foreign city, lost among faces that should have been familiar but weren’t.Memories flitted through my mind, strange and elusive. Images of Skylar were clear, I knew that we’d been through so much. I could recall being bonded to her, yet somehow, I felt as if someone else was missing, as if part of me was struggling to break free, to remember. Shenaya’s name floated to the surface of my thoughts, insistent, and wi
Alpha's Unwanted Bond A Heart Divided
Shenaya’s POVI lay awake on my bed looking at the ceiling while the morning sun streamed through the curtains, I felt like I had no heart for it was overpowering me. Aiden had finally woken up after days of unconsciousness, but the man who opened his eyes wasn’t the one who had promised me forever. Now, it has been a week, which had been a week of empty sorrow and true suffering despite the fact that Aiden was alive. A week today he stared at me with that blank look on his face and then walked out with Skylar.I slid my hands along the edge of the bed where he once slept, and I suddenly realized there was no one. Aunt Belle had tried to reassure me, she tried explaining how Aiden’s memories had returned jumbled, woven with pieces of his past with Skylar. She’d assured me that the things he remembered doing with her were our memories, they were things he did with me, our moments but somehow, he saw Skylar’s face in them. I clung to that explanation, but it didn’t ease the ache. It did
Alpha's Unwanted Bond False Memories
Aiden's POVSlowly my lumbering eyelids dragged themselves apart and I stared at the harsh glare of the hospital ceiling light above. I could feel the slow pulse that spread dull and aching behind my eyes as if my very brain was aching with pain. My body finally responded, alert and rigid, as if the heavyweights of lead had draped around my bones and as a trial to flex my muscles, shooting spasms of lingering pain.The surroundings of the room were bleached and motionless, the steady sound of appliances providing me with a clear sensorium of time. For a moment, I understood that I was in a hospital, and while that much was clear, the why eluded me like a shadow that slipped across the grass just as one turned to pursue it. Something was amiss, there must have been a big hole in my head that I couldn’t locate or perhaps fill. Irritation started to build up beneath the thick layer of confusion when I tried to find something in my head that wasn’t there.Before I could breathe, thinking
Alpha's Unwanted Bond Heart Without Memories
Shenaya's POVThe days he dragged on with an ache that settled deep into my bones. Every morning, I woke in an empty bed, my hand instinctively reaching out to the space Aiden should have filled but he wasn’t there. He was in a coma, lying in the infirmary, his once formidable strength now silent and still. The doctor had said his wolf, Smoke, had sacrificed himself to save Aiden’s human side. The blow was heavy, but I knew it was what Smoke would have wanted—to keep Aiden here with me, even if only in part. But without his wolf, Aiden was more vulnerable than ever, and the emptiness gnawed at me with each passing day.My, Lily, had fallen silent in grief, her sorrow mingling with my nominee's loss of her mate had hit her hard, and now, in the long hours I spent patrolling the pack grounds and handling pack business, I felt her absence as acutely as Aiden’s.In Aiden’s stead, I had taken charge of the pack, managing the day-to-day challenges of leadership while also keeping a wary eye
Alpha's Unwanted Bond Torn Vows
Shenaya's POVThe early morning light fell like a soft blanket over the Crescent pack’s territory. Dew clung to the grass, shimmering under the sunlight, as though the earth was dressed in celebration of our wedding day. Today, I was marrying Aiden, my Alpha, best friend, and partner in fierce and fragile love.I could feel the energy in the air as the whole pack bustled with preparations. I spent the morning getting ready, surrounded by close friends, family, and members of the pack who all wore excited smiles as they darted around to help, offering me congratulations and teasing glances. The field we had chosen as our wedding site was dressed in rows of pristine white chairs, lined up in front of a wooden podium decorated with garlands of roses, lilies, and green ivy. My heart felt full, overwhelmed with love and gratitude for everyone who had come. Even Skylar, Aiden’s former mate and my one-time enemy, was here today, holding her daughter Zoey’s hand, standing in the crowd with a
Alpha's Unwanted Bond Fragment Of Freedom
LUCY'S POVThe stench of fear mixed with the sharp tang of silver and wolfbane, permeated the dungeon. Darkness wrapped itself around the cold stone walls, and Alenjro’s muffled gasps for air echoed within. The silence in between each scream was thick, and heavy with the weight of what was unsaid. I could hear him attempting to hold back his agony, but it was useless. His control shattered each time I pressed the searing iron that was already wrapped in wolfbane vines, against his skin. “Ahhhh!” Alenjro’s scream filled the room again, slicing through the air, raw and broken. A satisfying chill crawled up my spine as I watched his body convulse against the restraints, his skin blistering from the poison.When his scream died down to a low moan, he lifted his head, eyes glazed with defiance but flecked with terror.“Do you think this will erase what you are?” he spat, a mocking tone laced with an undertone of pain. “Do you think it’ll change the fact that your ‘precious’ son was father
Alpha's Unwanted Bond Brother's Vow
Aiden's POVThe last few months had been surprisingly peaceful like the universe had finally gifted us a rare break from chaos. Shenaya and I had settled into a new rhythm here in Rome, a blend of family life and preparations for the wedding. Zoey had been making incredible strides in her training with Skylar, who surprisingly had shown genuine dedication and care for her daughter. Twice a week, Skylar would bring Zoey back to Shenaya and me, letting us have family time before Zoey returned to her lessons. Our daughter was stronger, and more in control, and I knew we had Skylar to thank for that.Meanwhile, Shenaya had thrown herself into plans for her new brand, hoping to establish it here in Rome now that we’d decided to build our lives here. Though she’d already given me her heart and allowed me to mark her, I felt the need to make things official. I wanted her as my wife, not just my mate, and she deserved to be given that choice. So, a few weeks ago, I’d proposed, and now Shenaya
