Bound By The Shackles Of Fate Chapter 9—Aria's leaving with him
~LUCA~ The sound of her voice irritates me. I took a slow breath, willing myself to calm down, but the anger only built up inside me. When I finally swung the door open, I fixed her with a cold, disdainful glare. “From now on, you don’t call me by my name,” I said, each word laced with venom. “It’s Alpha Luca to you. Got that?” Indie’s eyes narrowed, but she managed a smug smile, as if my words didn’t faze her. “Fine. Alpha Luca,” she replied, her tone laced with mockery. The nerve of her. Standing there with that look on her face, as if she hadn’t ruined everything. I barely held back the urge to shove her back out the door. “What do you want?” I asked sharply. Her eyes flickered with something like satisfaction. “My father’s men saw them,” she said, her voice level but laced with a hint of triumph. “Kael’s suitcases are being loaded into the car. They’re leaving, Luca.” She paused, letting her words sink in. “Aria’s leaving with him.” My stomach twisted, a sharp pain drivin
Bound By The Shackles Of Fate Chapter 10— I've marked her
~ARIA~Kael barked, his voice breaking through my thoughts. I snapped my gaze to him, surprised by his tone. “I was just…” My voice trailed. “Let’s move,” he interrupted, his impatience evident. Kael walked ahead, and I followed closely behind. I pushed behind all thoughts of escaping. There was no way I could escape now. As we stepped outside, the bright light hit my face like a slap. I squinted against the light and tried to focus on what lay ahead. I noticed Damon already in one of the convoy of cars, watching us with a neutral expression. He gave Kael a brief nod before turning away, ready to lead the way out.Kael’s eyes darted to the convoy, then back to his phone as it buzzed in his hand. With a slight frown, he answered it, his voice turning gruff as he spoke. I could tell it was something urgent, though he didn’t share any details.The call seemed to delay us, and I took the opportunity to glance around, gathering myself, reminding myself that I would survive this, no mat
Bound By The Shackles Of Fate Chapter 11—Anna, isn't it?
~ARIA~Luca’s hurt expression was like a punch to my chest, making me realize something painful and undeniable—I was still in love with him. Even after everything, even after he betrayed me with Indie, I couldn’t shake him from my heart. I was about to deny Kael’s outrageous claim—that we had slept together—when Kael grabbed my arm and yanked me toward the car, pulling me away before I could say a single word.“Let me go!” I hissed, struggling against his grip, but Kael didn’t even glance my way. He shoved me into the back seat, his jaw set and unyielding as he climbed in beside me. I looked back, catching one last glimpse of Luca standing there, frozen, a look of utter disbelief on his face. People were gathering around, whispering and recording everything with their phones, and I knew this would be all over the internet soon. But that was the least of my worries.The car started moving, speeding away from the penthouse, and my stomach twisted in anger and regret. I wanted to scream,
Bound By The Shackles Of Fate Chapter 12— This isn't your world
~ARIA~Eliara's eyes glinted with a deliberate mischief as she called me “Anna,” but I could see through her little game. She knew exactly who I was; her smug expression made that clear. She wanted to see if I’d take the bait, get flustered, or show some sign of feeling intimidated. Well, I wasn’t about to give her that satisfaction.Instead, I forced a cool, polite smile and looked her straight in the eyes. “It’s actually Aria. Nice to meet you, Erica,” I replied smoothly, watching her face stiffen just slightly. It wasn’t much, but it was enough to know I’d gotten under her skin, if only a little. Two could play this game, and I wasn’t about to let her intimidate me. “It’s Eliara,” she corrected. I pretended to think about it, as if her name wasn’t worth the effort of remembering. “Oh, right, Ella. My mistake.”For a brief second, our gazes clashed, a silent battle in which neither of us wanted to look away first. But then, just as I thought we’d continue glaring at each other, Ka
Bound By The Shackles Of Fate Chapter 13— She needs to prove her worth
~ARIA~“Thank you, Elena,” I said, purposely using the wrong name again. “I’ll keep that in mind.”For a moment, her mask slipped, and I saw something raw and sharp flash in her eyes. It was clear she wasn’t used to being challenged, especially by someone she thought was beneath her.Without another word, she turned on her heel and left, her footsteps echoing down the hallway. Lena let out a quiet sigh of relief once she was gone, her shoulders relaxing.“Thank you, Lena,” I said, grateful for her presence. “I think I’ll be fine on my own now.”Lena nodded, giving me a small smile before she excused herself. Finally alone, I allowed myself a moment to breathe, absorbing everything that had happened.I stared out the window, watching as the mist settled over the forest. I could feel the weight of this place pressing down on me, and for a moment, I wondered if I’d ever be able to fit into a world as twisted and intense as Kael’s. But then, a quiet resolve filled me. I wasn’t here to fit
Bound By The Shackles Of Fate Chapter 14— I tried defending you
~KAEL~“She doesn’t need to prove anything to anyone,” I argued firmly, my voice echoing through the room. “The gods chose her, and that’s enough.”But Elder Thorne raised a hand, silencing the murmurs. “Alpha Kael, the role of Luna is not just about standing by your side. It’s a symbol of strength. Your mate must show the pack that she has the will to fight for her place. They doubt her because she appears… fragile.” He paused, his gaze steady. “This challenge is a tradition, though one we have avoided in recent years. However, in this case, it may be necessary.”I clenched my jaw, the thought of putting Aria in any form of trial already unsettling me. “This isn’t just some tradition we can pick up at our convenience,” I responded sharply. “She may not look the way you want her to, but that doesn’t make her any less worthy.”Elder Bran, undeterred, leaned forward. “Alpha, this will not be a fight to the death or even to victory. She only has to prove that she can hold her ground. She
Bound By The Shackles Of Fate Chapter 15— Didn't have much of a choice
~ARIA~For a split second, I almost told him the truth. I almost blurted it out, desperate for him to understand, to see why this was impossible. But then I remembered who I was talking to—Kael, the cold, unyielding Alpha who wouldn’t hesitate to use my weakness against me.So I swallowed my fear and forced myself to look him in the eye. “No,” I lied, my voice barely more than a whisper. “There’s nothing.”He stared at me for a moment, his gaze intense and searching, as if he could see right through me. I held my breath, praying he wouldn’t push any further. But finally, he seemed to accept my answer. “Fine,” he said, his tone colder than ever. “Get a good night’s rest, Aria. You’ll need it.” He turned and left without another word, leaving me alone with my heart pounding uncontrollably.As soon as he was gone, I sank onto the edge of the bed, my mind racing. What was I supposed to do? How could I possibly fight without my wolf?For a brief, desperate moment, I thought of Luca. Despi
Bound By The Shackles Of Fate Chapter 16— You should trust your own judgement
~ARIA~I spun around, heart racing, as a woman entered the arena—a woman who looked strikingly like Kael. She was tall, her posture regal, exuding an air of elegance and power. Her tailored suit spoke of wealth, but it was the way she commanded the space with a mere glance that made everyone fall silent. Recognition dawned. During the house tour, Lena had shown me a portrait of a woman in one of the grand halls, a woman with the same intensity in her eyes. Although I hadn’t learned her name then, it was clear who she was now. Kael’s face shifted as he looked at her. His usual cold, hard expression softened, his eyes filling with an unfamiliar warmth.“Mother,” he said, his voice low and reverent.She held up a hand, and he instantly fell silent, his gaze on the floor like a child caught in wrongdoing. I couldn’t believe it. Kael, the ruthless Alpha, stood there as if her disapproval had stripped away all his power. He looked vulnerable, almost humbled. And the way he obeyed her comm

“It is canceled” he said and I couldn't help but exhale. A wave of relief washed over me, so intense I nearly sank to my knees. I met Nessa’s furious stare, her eyes blazing with hatred, but I didn’t care. Lady Seraphine had saved me, and the sharp glare Nessa shot my way was nothing compared to the safety I felt with Lady Seraphine’s protection.Lady Seraphine gave him a small nod, his response, before she looked back at me, she seemed like she wanted to say something but she stopped herself.She then turned to Kael, her tone firm. “Come. We have much to discuss. It seems some in the pack are intent on undermining any progress we have made.” Her eyes lingered on Elder Thorne, a final warning etched in her gaze.Kael nodded, falling into step beside her, though he cast one last lingering look at me. I couldn’t quite read his expression—there was regret there, maybe even a touch of something else—but it left a strange ache in my chest as I watched him follow her. The crowd erupted i
