BOUND BY FATE, TORN BY CHOICES CHAPTER 15
The tension in the air was palpable as Derek and I stood side by side in the pack house, both trying to remain calm, though I could feel the storm of emotions brewing beneath the surface. The alpha and his sister from the Lunaris Mystique pack had arrived, and with them came the knowledge that everything was about to change.We had decided to tell everyone the truth about us—the bond we shared that went beyond physical connection. Derek and I had been inseparable, our emotions intertwined in ways that felt both exhilarating and overwhelming. But with the Alpha and his sister from the Lunaris Mystique pack on their way, I couldn't help but feel that the storm was closing in.The moment they stepped through the door, the atmosphere in the room shifted. Seth, the Alpha of the Lunaris Mystique pack, entered with his sister, Vee, standing by his side. Their energy was magnetic. As soon as Vee caught Adrian’s gaze, something unspoken passed between them. Their eyes locked, and it was cle

DEREK The man’s head tilted as his sharp gaze traveled up toward me. His expression was calm, unreadable, but there was a spark in his eyes as if he were observing something he found... interesting. Then, with a faint smile, he shifted his attention to Ava, and that subtle smile grew warmer, more curious. My jaw clenched.Taking a step back, the man addressed me directly, his voice polite yet measured. “I’m guessing you’re the future Alpha we were coming to meet?”Every instinct in me wanted to snap, to remind him where he stood. Instead, my father’s pointed throat-clearing from behind me brought me back to focus. Begrudgingly, I replied, “That’s right.”The man introduced himself, extending a hand up to me since I still stood a step above him on the staircase. “My name is Seth. I’m the Alpha of my pack.”Ava squeezed past him on her way down the steps. I didn’t miss the way his eyes lingered on her, following her movements as though he couldn’t help himself. A low growl stirred in m

“Excuse me,” I muttered, my voice clenched between my teeth. My heart pounded with an intensity that matched the heat rising in my chest. This wasn’t just some casual disruption in our lives. No, this was something far deeper, something more dangerous. I knew, in my gut, that if I didn’t get out of here now, if I didn’t take control of the situation—this situation—I would lose my mind. And maybe my life.The guy… he was gifted. I still didn’t know exactly what that meant, or how it worked, but the sharpness in my instincts told me he was dangerous. I had no idea how powerful he was, but from the way my wolf growled, I knew it wasn’t a threat to be taken lightly. And yet, I couldn’t shake the suffocating urge to confront him, to find out just how far I’d go to protect what was mine.“Mom,” I said, forcing the words past my gritted teeth. “I’ll be back for dinner. I just… I need to do something.” My voice faltered for a split second, betraying the chaos that whirled inside me.I glanced

AVA’ POVThe air in the dining room was thick with tension, each breath I took feeling heavier than the last. I could sense the weight of all their eyes on me, each person around the table waiting for something—an answer, an explanation, or perhaps a decision. It wasn’t just any ordinary conversation. This was about my future, my past, my choices. And, I knew, it was about Derek and Seth.As the tension in the dining room thickened, I took a deep breath and met the expectant gazes of those seated around the long oak table. I straightened my posture, trying to keep my nerves at bay, and cleared my throat. “We need to be honest with you all,” I said, my voice surprising me with its steadiness.Derek sat beside me, his posture relaxed yet firm, his presence grounding me even as my pulse raced. He had always been my anchor, but tonight, it felt as if we were at the edge of a cliff, looking down at the unknown.Across from us sat Alpha Marcus and Luna Evelyn, their expressions ,their faces

I turned to Derek, my heart heavy with the weight of everything happening around us. The tension in the air was thick, unspoken words hanging between us like a fog. Gently, I took his hand and pulled him to the side, away from Seth. Without hesitation, I pressed my lips to his, feeling his warmth ground me for just a moment.When I pulled away, I placed my hands on his chest and looked up at him. “Derek, I know how much you love me,” I whispered. “And I know you’re protective of me, but I need this time with Seth. Not as Ava, not as your mate, but as Nimue’s vessel. My wolf needs to speak with him—she understands him in a way that I can’t. And right now, I think she’s the only one who knows what to say to him.” Derek’s eyes darkened with concern. “Ava, I just want to be here for you. I don’t want you to go through this alone. I made the mistake of rejecting you once, of letting you believe I wouldn’t stand by you. I won’t do that again.”I cupped his face, feeling the strong, steady

DEREK The chill of the night air was heavy against my skin as I leaned against a tree, trying to collect my thoughts. The world around me seemed unusually quiet, the usual rustling of the forest muted by the weight of my frustration. I had just finished my patrol, and the quiet was a welcome change from the tension I was feeling, but that peace didn’t last long."How can I take you as my mate? My parents would never accept it." The words left my mouth before I could stop them. I had barely settled after my long shift when I noticed her. Selene. Of course, it had to be her.I didn’t mean for my words to come out so sharp, but I was already in a foul mood. The weight of my responsibilities pressed on me, and she had followed me, once again, pushing when I had nothing left to give.She had followed me once again, sneaking up behind me when I paused for a brief rest, her presence as irritating as ever. The woman never seemed to take a hint. It had been two days since the mess had started

Every inch of my body felt spent, sore, and completely satisfied in the most intoxicating way. A delicious ache thrummed through my muscles, a reminder of the passion that had consumed us last night. My skin still carried the phantom touch of Derek’s hands, his lips, the way he had claimed me so thoroughly, leaving no room for doubt about what we were to each other. There had been a tension in me before, an anxious, almost agitated state that made me feel like I was trapped inside my own skin. But now? That feeling was gone, replaced by a kind of relaxation that only Derek could bring. And yet, despite my body’s exhaustion, a restless energy lingered beneath my skin. It was a kind of agitation, like an unquenched thirst that only he could satisfy. My heart still beat too fast, my skin still tingled with awareness of him, even though our night together had already passed.Derek had used my body with a kind of raw, unchecked desire that set me ablaze, bending me to his will, taking wha

As we walked side by side, I noticed how effortlessly Seth carried himself—shoulders back, posture straight, as if the world had never weighed on him. It was a stark contrast to the way I moved, my steps careful, my body slightly hunched, as if expecting a blow at any moment.“I can’t really go into detail unless I show you in person,” Seth explained, glancing at me with a small chuckle. “Even then, not many people know about it. Only Vee and I, and Nimue back in the day, knew the exact location. I guess she could guide you there, but it’s hidden away—an island in the middle of the ocean. It’s small, but absolutely stunning. If it weren’t for the magic that conceals it, I’m sure humans would have found it by now. His words painted an image in my mind—lush greenery, hidden waterfalls, a secluded paradise untouched by greed. I could almost hear the waves lapping at the shore, feel the cool mist of cascading water against my skin.A rich businessman would probably turn it into a luxury

AVA One whole day after we got back , Vance hadn't returned and there was no sign of Sabrina. I needed a cool shower, I figured out that I think properly in the shower pressed against the shower. I was in one of the pack members' bathrooms. I mean I could let us in and out of that bubble , but doing it dropped the whole protection spell. It was risky , dropping it all of the time. It could take literally seconds for her to turn up and get in there. It was weird , like we were at a stalemate. In limbo just hanging there.The screen got misty as my hot breath blew across the shower screen. Derek was communicating through the mind link that he was coming to join me in the shower. He never lets me do anything myself these days , it felt like he needed to protect me now more than ever. I wouldn't blame him , these days with Sabrina alive , we haven't been intimate , and it was affecting our mate bond , so bathing together was a good Idea.I knew our bond was strong, but with everything go

"I am the one that knows how . I see you are trying to leave me behind. You lose us all" we made him say . She huffed a laugh" There is the selfish father I knew ". I literally felt myself breathing a sigh of relief. We had her by our side . " The talisman is hidden. Buried behind the wall in my chambers above the bed . You will need to break the bricks down to get it out". Shirer and Celeste would try to seal her in there and immobilize her long enough to hopefully kill her . I just hoped it works. She looked back at my family. "Don't try to run , this place is miles and miles of snow , nothing around . I will catch you and kill you all as a message before you have time to escape anywhere" she snapped at them .DEREK Ava and Nimue did well. We couldn't hear what they were saying to her. But in the end, they got her out of the room and she headed upstairs. We heard banging from upstairs, like brick boulders were falling on to the fall and it was time to move. The girls joined hands a

DEREK "What does she plan to do struggling that way , if she continues Sabrina will be aware that we are here and she will hunt us immediately without our plans in place" Vance said She went to push the door open , the screams of her brother spurring her into action. Grabbing her shoulder, I stopped her impulsive movement. Ava had a lot to learn. Especially with her new role. She looked back at me. " Let me go. I need to go help him " she rushed out breathless. " Ava, look at your brothers. That is their brother in there too. Do you see them about to make a dangerous movement by rushing in? " Her eyes went behind me to her brothers. I looked back and they looked ready to go to war. But they weren't making a stupid move. We have been trained all of our lives for things like this , keeping emotions out of a battle. Ava grew up hidden , with little training from her brother. Although a quick, leaner and skilled fighter , her naiveness shows. I hated the thought of it , but it was somet

AVA"You don't look like you would hurt a fly ? " she shrugs at me. " But she has all of your women's magic and her sisters , she is powerful and she's conniving. What if we lose ?" I asked her and her eyes softened. " I have not seen the entire pack that we are in , but I have seen enough to know you are surrounded. She is but one woman. Why do you all fear her so much ? " she asks and her questions stumped me into silence. So she continues to talk. " You have magic , so do the other girls that woke us. You are not defenseless ", she states." I know that " I was about to answer, but she cut me off. " Do you know that ? Because if you had known that you would already be fighting her back , would you not ? " I nodded dumbly. " Yea , I mean no. But shit . We have just been letting this all happen. We were so scared they would beat us. They lived with us for weeks and we did nothing. Always waiting. Too scared " I said quietly. " To lose people ? "she asked and I nodded again." You, my

DEREK I never knew being the Alpha of a pack can be this strenuous . Dad usually does it effortlessly, he carried everyone's burden like he was born for the role . Meanwhile I was here being worn out , but I couldn't get tired because Ava needs me more than she needs anyone else . We were literally running around the pack , until Ava looked ready to drop from exhaustion. After a lot of coaxing, I managed to convince her she needed some rest. It took a lot of work , everyone was on a very high alert about whether Sabrina would come back. Ava still needed to release the magic to the goddess , but one thing after another just kept coming up. To where it was now almost three in the morning. We were stopping at the pack house where we could all keep close. I think that was the only way she would settle, at least hopefully a little bit.By the time I got her to our room , she was pretty much asleep on her feet. Adrenaline had been running that high , she was now crashing. We all were. Bu

Once we were behind the door , it took a while for them all to become coherent. They were dazed and foggy , and weak. Some could hardly even stand. They'd been laid down for so long , I was surprised they even remembered how. " We need to get them some food and water down here , they may even need a doctor ", I said, worriedly, watching them. " Let's wait to see how they react first before we put a doc in the room with them " Derek said from behind me. " They're human Derek , what can they do if you have warriors standing guard " I tried to reason with him. Well I was the emotional one and Derek was the logical one so definitely we would clash here and there . " I'm going to go back to the hospital. Do you want me to send a doctor down here ? "Vee asked us . I was about to answer yes , but Derek spoke first. " Hold the doctor , but will you go ask Adrian if he will arrange for food and drinks to be brought down, please Vee ", she looked at him a little fearful. The concept of her goi

The women and concubines we took from the castle had these gloomy looks on their faces like they would be gone anytime soon , I actually felt an urge to release them but I don't work on my own here even though I'm the alpha of alphas I can't skip the authority figures in my life, and honestly I'm greatly for people around me , they help correct my head when I'm about acting irrationally." Can we even remove the spell put on them ? " I asked Nimue . Looking at all the immobile bodies through the cell door was creepy. It made shivers run down my spine just being down here. " We should be able to , but some spells can be tricky. It can be hard to undo another witch's spell. At least for us , I don't want to keep tapping into the moon goddess's magic. The quicker we give it back the better". I heard some shouting further down the hall. The alpha and Derek were talking to someone through the door. Walking over , I went to see what the fuss was about. Getting closer, I heard the one voice

" Nimue, I need them back. Let's just go after her now. We have your magic. I can feel the strength of it running through my veins. We can kill her ourselves ", I said to her while I paced through the room. I could feel Derek's eyes tracking me and I was doing my best to block my thoughts from him. He wouldn't agree with this. " And for good reason he wouldn't. "Ava, What have I been saying this whole time? I have always run into things alone , not relying on others. For me to stay, I have to prove that I no longer need this magic. Not all of it anyway. To go to her now and deal with her ourselves, that will prove the balance keepers right. We need to give the magic back and deal with her with what's left and with our mate and family and friends. Ava , I don't want to have to leave again" she said sadly.I groaned inwardly. " If we give it back now, she will kill them ", I told her. " She won't know , Ava , I think you see us as giving it back, as we will be weak again. We are the tru

"You mean that's not Adrian?" . I asked and Ava shook her head . "We need to go". She clapped her hands again and as soon as she got back , we were surrounded by everyone at the pack including Adrian . He was standing in front of me . "What the hell is going on?" I asked Ava . "We didn't have a choice. When she took you away we began to come up with different plans , and different ideas were coming up . Then Seth brought up the Idea of us distracting her while I went and got Nimue's magic." As I was trying to get everything she was saying, I noticed she was looking at me , from head to toe ,and the next minute I saw that I was putting on boxers ."Sabrina will figure everything out soon , she would know it's Seth and not Adrian and I fear for his life . She had said she wanted me to get the magic , what does that even mean ? She had Fay. Fay shook her head . It was as if I was dreaming because why did no one seem bothered about Sabrina's sister Fay standing with us . I think I pretty
