Bound By Bloodlines Chapter 21: THE HYBRID HAS GOTTEN UNDER YOUR SKIN
The midday sun filtered through the castle’s tall windows, casting pale shadows across the stone floors. Irwin’s heart pounded as she fastened her cloak, her hands trembling with a mixture of defiance and desperation. Her breath was quick, her chest tight, as if every breath she took was borrowed air in this suffocating place."Irwin," Ashina’s voice broke through the thick tension, her tone pleading. "You can’t go to the human city. You know how dangerous it is out there. We still don’t know what that strange pack of wolves wanted when they attacked us. You’ll be vulnerable, Irwin."Irwin spun around, her eyes blazing with frustration. "I know what you think, Ashina. You’ve always thought I was fragile, that I needed protection. But I’m not a prisoner here Ashina, Because I'm weak like you people said doesn't mean I will need to stay indoors for the rest of my life. I deserve to live my life like a normal person, not some fragile thing hidden away."Ashina took a step forward, her vo

The trade fair was alive, bursting with energy. Laughter echoed off the stalls, merchants haggled with customers, and the air smelled of roasted meats and fresh fruit. Irwin moved through the crowd, her senses heightened but her mood surprisingly light. It was rare to feel so free, so detached from the weight of the world outside this bustling market.“I know you’re hiding, Ashina. Come out already. It's very obvious, come on” Irwin called out, her voice tinged with amusement.From behind a fruit cart, Ashina appeared with a smirk, brushing back her auburn hair. “You’re too sharp. I can never sneak up on you peacefully?”Irwin chuckled. “Maybe you should stop trying. You’re terrible at it, Ashina.”Ashina laughed, shaking her head as she stepped closer. “ But That’s the whole point, isn’t it? Keep you on your toes.”The two of them wandered through the market, weaving through crowds of people as they observed the scene around them. Children played in the streets, vendors loudly adver

Dorian’s fists clenched tighter with each step as he paced back and forth in the great hall of his castle, his body trembling with barely controlled fury. His mind raced, thoughts tangled in a storm of frustration and guilt, the weight of every decision bearing down on him.The midday light flooded the room, warm and golden, yet it felt suffocating against the heaviness in his chest. He could hear the faint shuffle of guards retreating, their fear was palpable as they moved out of range. They knew better than to stay close when Dorian was like this.Across from him, Leo sat with his legs crossed, observing with an unnerving calmness. He made no attempt to move or speak, simply watching his best friend unravel before his eyes. After a long pause, Leo finally broke the silence, his voice calm but cutting.“Tell me, Dorian, what's the point of all this anger?” Leo asked, leaning forward slightly. “You were the one who let her go, Dorian.”Dorian stopped dead in his tracks, turning to fac

“It wasn’t always like this, you know,” Ulva murmured, her eyes distant as she gazed out of the grand window. The warmth midday sun bathed the room in soft, and golden light, but the weight of their discussion cast an invisible shadow over the space. Her fingers traced the delicate edge of the porcelain teacup she held, even though she hadn’t taken a sip since she held the cup.Adolphus sat across from her, his broad shoulders still carrying the pride of a former Alpha, even though time had softened the sharpness of his once imposing presence.“No, it wasn’t, my dear ulva,” he agreed, his voice deep and laced with nostalgia. His hands rested on the arms of the leather chair, but there was tension in his posture, something unresolved.Ulva glanced at him, a flicker of sadness crossing her eyes. “Do you think we might have pushed him too hard? You know Dorian never wanted to follow the path we laid out for him. He was always so… different. Strong, yes, but independent in ways we couldn’

"Nice to meet you, Valen," Irwin said, her fingers brushing against his as they shook hands. The bustling trade fair around them seemed to blur, the distant hum of voices fading into the background as her gaze locked onto his. His hand was unexpectedly soft, as his touch lingering just a little longer than necessary, sending an unsettling ripple through her. Valen’s voice was calm, smooth like a river. “The pleasure is mine, Lovethe,” he replied, using the name she had given him in their earlier exchange. His eyes, deep and unreadable, held hers as if searching for something beyond the surface. For a brief moment, Irwin forgot everything. Ashina, the fair, even Dorian. It was as if Valen’s presence pulled her into a different space entirely, one where nothing else mattered.Irwin’s breath hitched slightly as his thumb traced a gentle line across her palm. A strange connection seemed to form between them, though she couldn’t quite place what it was. His presence was both comforting an

Ashina glanced at Irwin, her eyes filled with curiosity as they stood near the bustling market stalls. “Irwin, what was it about Valen that made you so comfortable? You’ve never trusted anyone so quickly, just few days that I have been with you Irwin.”Irwin let out a small sigh, her shoulders relaxing as she thought about Valen. “I don’t know, Ashina. It was just… so easy. Like I didn’t have to pretend or hide who I am around him. I don't really know what just happened, you know.”Ashina raised an eyebrow, her expression skeptical. “And you don’t find that strange, Irwin? Because it feels so strange to me. You’ve known him for less than an hour, remember.”Irwin shrugged. “Maybe. But for once, I wasn’t being judged, like Leo your brother and the rest of the pack. He didn’t look at me like I was weak. Like I was that little hybrid, that hides during war.”Ashina crossed her arms, her voice growing firm. “Do You think Dorian looks at you like you’re some sort of weak thing?”Irwin f
Last Updated : 2024-09-21Bound By Bloodlines Chapter 27: BETWEEN FIRE
The tension between them thickened as the market’s hum buzzed around them, but neither Ashina nor Irwin paid attention to the noise. Ashina’s words had shaken something deep inside Irwin, and she didn’t know how to respond.Ashina broke the silence. “Irwin, if you would get something meaningful of what I'm telling you, I’m not saying Valen’s a bad guy, but this connection you’re feeling… it’s dangerous... It might be dangerous. You’re Dorian’s mate remember. How long do you think you can keep this up before things blow up in your face?”Irwin’s jaw tightened. “I’m not doing anything wrong, Ashina. I haven’t crossed any lines yet.”Ashina’s voice was gentle, but her gaze was sharp. “Not yet, but you’re playing with fire. You’re letting your feelings for Valen grow while shutting Dorian out. What if Dorian realizes what’s happening?”Irwin’s chest ached at Ashina’s words. “He wouldn’t care. Remember i told you that, He hasn’t bonded with me, Ashina. Do you know what it feels like to be

The tension in the grand hall of Adolphus and Ulva’s home was thick enough to be cut with a knife. Adolphus stood by the wide window, looking out at the vast expanse of their territory. His mind churned with frustration. The words Ulva had just shared were haunting him, refusing to let go. If Dorian and Irwin weren’t connected soon, there would be no Luna. If both of them are connected, means there will be a Luna, which is absolutely wrong.And, No Luna meant no stability for Dorian.“No. I won’t allow it,” Adolphus finally said, his voice low but filled with determination.Ulva stood nearby, her hands clasped together, her eyes weary but soft. She had expected this reaction. She knew how fiercely protective Adolphus was of Dorian, their only son, but this was a delicate matter. "We’ve already meddled enough, Adolphus. Dorian warned us to let him be, remember."Adolphus spun around, his eyes blazing with anger. “Warned us? This isn’t a game, Ulva. This is his future, our future! We’re

Bound By Bloodlines Chapter 132: I WILL BREAK YOU DORIAN!
The rain tapped lightly against the small, cracked windows of the cabin. Inside, the air was thick with the scent of damp wood and the faint odor of burning incense, meant to mask the staleness of the place. A fire crackled in the hearth, casting flickering shadows against the stone walls.Valen sat in a worn wooden chair, his body slumped and exhausted, his hands hanging loosely by his sides. His appearance was far from the man he once was — strong and unyielding. The battle scars on his face, his dark eyes filled with a thousand stories of pain, now reflected only the weariness of one who had been fighting for too long. His once sharp posture had given way to a slump, a man crushed by the weight of his own thoughts.A small figure approached him. It was Rania, a child no older than ten, with dark eyes that seemed far too mature for her age. Her small hands held a simple wooden cup, filled with water she had just fetched from the nearby well. She had grown up faster than any child sh
Bound By Bloodlines Chapter 131: THE DAWN OF UNITY
“This is the beginning of a new chapter for Shadowclaw,” Dorian says, his voice powerful and commanding. The wolves around him stop in their tracks, their eyes fixed on him. They hang on to every word.“We will no longer live in fear of enemies from outside or from within. We are strong, and together, we will ensure our pack’s legacy.”Dorian’s words linger in the air as if the very earth beneath them acknowledges the gravity of what he says. Irwin, standing beside him, feels a surge of pride. She grips his hand, the power of their bond pulsing through her.Irwin takes a step forward, her gaze steady and filled with conviction. “Together, we will lead this pack into an era of peace and prosperity. The future belongs to us, and it begins now.”The pack howls in agreement, a thunderous chorus that reverberates through the forest. For the first time in years, there’s no fear, no anger—only a unity that fills every wolf with pride.As the echoes of the howls fade into the distance, the at
Bound By Bloodlines Chapter 130: THE HEART OF THE PACK
Irwin stood on the balcony of the pack’s main hall, her eyes scanning the vast expanse of forest. The stillness of the night enveloped her, but inside, her heart was anything but calm. The weight of the responsibility she now carried as Luna, Dorian’s equal, and the heart of the pack, settled heavily on her shoulders.She had spent so many years running, hiding from her nature, afraid of being rejected. But now, after the battles, the heartache, and the triumphs, Irwin had come to accept her role. She was not just Dorian’s mate anymore; she was the leader of Shadowclaw, standing beside him to guide the pack into a future they would shape together.Dorian approached her from behind, his footsteps quiet but sure. As always, his presence was commanding yet comforting, the silent strength of a leader that everyone followed. He placed a hand on her shoulder, his fingers warm against her skin."How are you feeling?" he asked, his voice low, yet filled with concern.Irwin turned to face him,
Bound By Bloodlines Chapter 129: THE RETURN OF PEACE
The winds had calmed, and the ominous clouds that had once hung over Shadowclaw had dissipated. The storms, both literal and metaphorical, had passed. It was an unspoken truth among the pack: the worst was behind them. Dorian stood at the edge of the pack’s territory, his eyes scanning the horizon. The distant mountains loomed under the soft rays of the setting sun. The earth beneath his feet felt solid, the familiar scent of pine and earth grounding him in this moment of calm. But even as the peace settled in, he knew it was only the beginning of a new chapter. The scars of war were deep, both in the land and in their hearts.Beside him, Irwin stood silently. Her presence, once a source of uncertainty and raw power, was now a comforting constant. Her gaze was fixed on the horizon as well, but her thoughts seemed far away, lost in the same weight Dorian carried. It was in moments like these that words were unnecessary between them. They both knew the struggles they had faced, the bat
Bound By Bloodlines Chapter 128: A BATTLE WON BUT NOT FINISHED
The air around Dorian was thick with the scent of blood and smoke, the remnants of the brutal battle that had just taken place. The once-pristine forest floor was now a chaotic mess of broken branches, torn earth, and the shattered remnants of what had once been an unstoppable force. It was the aftermath of a battle that would mark the end of an era for the Shadow Fang pack and the beginning of a new reign for Shadowclaw. Yet, as Dorian stood over the defeated pack, the weight of what had transpired was not lost on him.His massive wolf form towered over the field, every muscle rippling with the aftermath of battle. His fur, normally sleek and dark, was matted with blood and dirt. His breathing was heavy, his chest rising and falling with each intake of air. The fight with Valen had taken everything out of him, but he had emerged victorious. He had shown Valen who was the true Alpha, the one who commanded respect, who wielded power not only through strength but through strategy, leade
Bound By Bloodlines Chapter 127: IRWIN'S POWER UNLEASHED
Irwin stood still, her breath coming in ragged gasps, her body trembling with the aftermath of the intense conflict. Her once-glowing hands now dimmed, the power she had just unleashed still surging beneath her skin, begging for release.She had done it—she had defeated Vendetta, the dark witch who had threatened to tear apart everything Irwin held dear. But the victory came at a price. Irwin could feel the energy inside her—wild and uncontrollable. It was crawling beneath her flesh like a living entity. It was her power, but it was more than she could fully comprehend. It was as if the magic inside her was a force of its own, no longer confined by the rules of the world.Her heart hammered in her chest, the weight of the battle settling over her like a cloak of exhaustion. She had felt the dark magic surge inside her during the fight with Vendetta, pushing her beyond the limits of what she thought possible. And now, she stood at the edge of the forest leaving Dorian her mate behind,
Bound By Bloodlines Chapter 126: THE FALL OF THE SHADOWFANG
The once-proud Shadow Fang pack was now crumbling under the weight of defeat. The clash of paws, the screeches of wolves, and the harsh growls of battle filled the air as warriors on both sides fought fiercely. The forest was alive with the bloodshed, but it was clear: the Shadowclaw pack had the upper hand. The Shadow Fang wolves, those who had once prided themselves on their strength and savagery, now found themselves overwhelmed by the sheer power of Shadowclaw's resolve.Cain fought valiantly, his massive wolf form crashing through the enemy lines, his claws slicing through flesh. His eyes were wild with rage, each strike fueled by the anger and desperation that surged within him. The head guard of Shadowfang snarled as cain lunged toward him, as his fangs sank into the enemy's throat with swift precision, tearing out the life force in a flash. .Elder Lucian, watching the battlefield from a distance, knew they were losing. His senses, honed from years of experience, told him eve
Bound By Bloodlines Chapter 125: THE CLASHES OF FATES
The sky above was darkening with the promise of a storm, the air heavy with tension. The sounds of battle filled the air as claws were clashing, growls reverberating, and the sickening sound of flesh tearing. Irwin stood in the center of the storm, her heart pounding in her chest as she stared across at Vendetta. The witch’s twisted grin was unsettling, a mockery of her confidence. Behind her, the remnants of the Shadow Fang pack rallied, but they were losing, their warriors broken and retreating in fear.Vendetta’s magic swirled around her like a thick, toxic fog. Dark tendrils of power lashed out, aiming to strike at Irwin, to break her down. The witch had once been a powerful adversary, a threat that seemed insurmountable. “Why are you still here, Vendetta?” Irwin’s voice rang out, steady despite the rage that burned within her. “You’ve already lost.”The witch’s eyes gleamed with malice. “Lost?” She laughed, the sound like broken glass. “I’ve won everything, girl. You think you’re
Bound By Bloodlines Chapter 124: THE AWAKENING OF IRWIN
" forget Dorian, he can't penetrate into here Valen. We need to focus on Irwin now" Vendetta said as she took a glimpse of Irwin by the corner of the room.The air was heavy in the darkened chamber, a very palpable tension suffocating the space. Chains forged of shadow and fire glimmered faintly in the dim light, binding Irwin to the stone pedestal at the center of the room. Her once-bright aura was muted, suppressed by the oppressive magic woven into the chains. Her head hung low, golden hair cascading over her face, hiding the determination brewing in her eyes.Valen stood to the side, his golden eyes gleaming with triumph as he watched her struggle. Beside him, Vendetta observed with a twisted smirk, her hands resting on the obsidian staff she wielded.“You know she’s still fighting,” Vendetta remarked, her voice dripping with amusement. “But it’s pointless. The chains are bound to her very soul. She won’t break them.”Valen tilted his head, a shadow of doubt crossing his face. “Sh
