Avery's POV

I looked up at my Alpha mate and sighed as I turned back to the grave of his beta and brother. "Alpha Zane, I'm sorry; I just don't know what has come over me suddenly," I admitted. He reached for my hand and squeezed them, sending a bolt of electricity through me and easing my pain.

"You have to stop thinking this way, my love. I am here for you and the rest of the pack. Maybe not so much certain individuals, but they will soon see you are as sweet and caring as I know you to be. Avery, come on. Let's get inside; it's getting cold out here now." Alpha Zane led me away from the grave and I nodded, trying to convince myself that he was right. Although deep down, I doubted that Carolina would ever accept me, especially as the Luna.

But my Alpha had a way of making me forget all about my war with Carolina. He pulled me into a side room and started to kiss me.

The warmth of his lips against mine melted away the lingering doubts in my mind. I wrapped my arms around his neck,

  • Bound To My Alpha Mate    The game has just begun

    Carolina’s POV I stood at the edge of the grand hall, watching the spectacle unfold with a mix of disdain and amusement. The way Avery stood beside Zane, her hand clasped within his as if he could shield her from the harsh reality of our world, made my skin crawl. She had no idea what she was getting herself into. Were it not for the recent loss of our Beta, I might have laughed at the absurdity of it all. Avery was a fragile girl playing a dangerous game, and her naivety only made her more endearing—and more annoying. I crossed my arms tight across my chest, clinging to the coldness of the moment as a way to stave off my own growing frustration.“Pack!” Zane’s voice boomed across the room, cutting through the quiet murmur. He always had a way of commanding attention, but I couldn’t help but wish for better circumstances. “Thank you for gathering here tonight…”Pompous. As if I didn’t know why we were here. To coddle the new Luna. To kiss her feet while mourning our lost brother. I

  • Bound To My Alpha Mate    On the up

    Avery’s POV The weight of Zane’s words resonated through the hall, and a heavy silence hung in the air. I could feel the tension settle like a thick fog but sensed a shift beneath it. Some pack members straightened, expressions reflecting understanding and newfound respect, while others looked furtive glances at Carolina, uncertain how to proceed.Zane turned to me, those earnest green eyes filled with pride and support. My heart fluttered at his belief in me, and I felt a warmth spread through my chest, banishing the fear that had gripped me moments before. This was my chance to rise above, not just for myself but for the pack that needed to see a united front."We have a lot of work ahead of us," I said, finding my voice once more assertive and confident. "But with unity and trust, we can overcome any challenges. I promise to listen to you, to understand your struggles, and to grow alongside each of you as your Luna."The murmurs around the room began to shift, and some voices of e

  • Bound To My Alpha Mate    New beginnings

    “I think we were about to have a very important meeting,” I replied, trying to suppress my giggles as he spun me around in a playful twirl. The airy hall filled with the echoes of my laughter, and for a moment, I felt weightless, free from the challenges ahead and the lingering uncertainty that had cast shadows moments before."Important meeting, indeed," Zane said, setting me down gently but keeping his arms around my waist, his eyes glimmering with mischief. “But let’s make it more about us, shall we?”His playful tone chased away any remnants of tension that lingered in the air. I looked into his eyes, and in that fleeting moment, everything else faded—the pack politics, Carolina’s glaring presence, the doubts that crept in now and then. All that mattered was him and this vibrant connection we were forging.He leaned closer, whispering conspiratorially in my ear, “I’ve been thinking about how I want to celebrate our announcement. Something just for us.”“Celebration?” My heart race

  • Bound To My Alpha Mate    To us

    Avery's pov The soft clinking of our glasses echoed in the peaceful ambiance, the flickering candlelight dancing in rhythm with the newfound hope that flickered in my chest. Zane’s gaze never wavered, and as I looked into those molten eyes, I saw more than just affection. I saw a future decked with challenges and victories, obstacles and triumphs—our journey as one.“Do you ever wonder what it’ll be like?” I mused, breaking the comfortable silence that had settled between us. “Leading the pack, with all its responsibilities and expectations?”Zane leaned forward, resting his chin on his knuckles, his smile calming yet playful. “I think about it all the time. And I know you’ll rise to meet every challenge. You’re meant for this, Avery. Just remember, it’s not about perfection; it’s about authenticity. Be true to yourself, and they will follow.”His words resonated deeply. The weight of leadership could feel overwhelming, but with Zane’s unwavering support, it became a little lighter.

  • Bound To My Alpha Mate    Changes

    Carolina’s POV Two days had passed since I had stood in that grand hall, and the weight of my words lingered heavily in the air like a storm cloud ready to burst. I had watched the pack teeter on the brink of loyalty and doubt, and I knew it wouldn’t take long for the balance to shift. My challenge hung over Avery like a guillotine, and I could almost taste the naivety radiating from her as she navigated her new role as Luna.In those two days, the atmosphere within the pack shifted subtly. Avery had thrown herself into tasks, trying to bond with the members and prove she belonged, but I could see through her efforts—the smile was sometimes too strained, her laughter too brittle. She was a girl playing dress-up, and I was determined to show everyone just how ill-prepared she truly was.I spent my time meticulously observing, listening for whispers and gathering information from those who were still hung up on our loss. Craig's absence had created a vacuum of leadership, and I was all

  • Bound To My Alpha Mate    Nowhere in sight

    Carolina’s POV I waited almost an hour for Craig to appear, but he didn’t come, and the disappointment of not seeing him was getting me down. I clenched my fists tightly together when I heard a rustle of leaves and twigs breaking. Freezing, I held my breath. A growl echoed around me, and I felt myself stiffen. “Who’s there?” I called out, not seeing anyone in sight. I broke into a run and hurried through the dense forest, not daring to look back, when suddenly someone grabbed me from behind, and I let out an almighty scream. I was sure that Alpha Zane and the pack would soon be at my side, hearing my screams, but then I stopped. The smiling face and twinkling eyes standing before me were him. It was Craig. I wanted to punch him for frightening me like that, but I couldn’t. Instead, I threw my arms around his shoulders and hugged him tightly. He hugged me back, and I closed my eyes, imagining none of this hell had ever happened to us. I wished so much for that to be true. “Oh, you

  • Bound To My Alpha Mate    I can’t accept you

    Avery’s POV “Carolina? What are you doing out here? Are you alright?” I frowned when I spotted her sitting with her knees hugged under her chin. She glanced up and scowled when she saw it was me. I wanted to go over it and see if she was okay. I know she hated me in the past, but I was Luna now, and I should at least try to get along with her. I knew it would be much easier at our pack if we all got along. I knew how Zane hated to think of anyone causing a rift. However, I did understand her reasons. Craig was a big part of the pack. He hadn’t just been my mate or the beta. Everyone loved him and adored him. He had shown me love and kindness from the start. Even though I had found a second chance with Zane, it didn’t take away the thoughts and love I would always have for Craig. He would want me to be happy, and I was. “What do you want?” she hissed, looking back out at the distance. I sighed and approached her. “I don't want to speak to you, Avery.” she moved slightly away from me.

  • Bound To My Alpha Mate    Doubts?

    Avery's POVI sighed as Carolina left me on my own. She didn't like me, and I was unwilling to force her to. My mind wandered back to when Craig had taken me to this part of the forest on one of our crazy adventures, just the two of us on the edge of the border. It was where he had first found me. I don't remember much about it other than how safe he made me feel. This place was stunningly beautiful. Something about it made me feel closer to Craig, almost like he was here with me. “Avery. Avery. Where are you?” a voice called out, shaking me from my thoughts and back to reality. Shaking my head, I chuckled to myself. I was supposed to be out picking apples with Cady whilst Zane attended to some things back in his office. Even as his Luna, he still wanted to take the weight off my shoulders and let me relax a little, so Cady and I decided to come out and collect some apples for the omegas to cook up a huge apple pie for the next day. “Oh, there you are,” she gasped with relief when s

  • Bound To My Alpha Mate    A sighting

    Avery’s POV Alpha Zane? Luna Avery?” a gentle knock on the door brought us back from our own little world and I could feel Zane’s irritation as he curled his tongue and tutted. “And what is the problem now?” he wrenched open the door to reveal Dominic standing the other side looking hot and flustered from running. I frowned wondering what was going on. Pulling myself up from the bed, I sauntered over to the door and gently touched my mate on the arm soothing his anger almost instantly. “What is the problem?” I looked up at the mighty warrior with kind eyes. He bowed to me and looked slightly more relaxed. Zane sighed and rolled his eyes, I knew he wanted me to himself but something was going on otherwise we would not have been interrupted. “Its Carolina.” he finally uttered. “Carolina?” I exclaimed, a shiver ran down my spine. “What about her? Have you found her?” Zane demanded to know but Dominic shook his head. “Unfortunately not. But, we found this and if sends us into the d

  • Bound To My Alpha Mate    Journey begins

    Avery's pov The sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm golden glow through our shared living space. Shadows danced across the walls as Zane and I sat on the couch, a pile of name suggestion lists and baby books precariously stacked on the coffee table. The excitement from our earlier conversation still buzzed in the air.“Alright,” Zane said, flipping through a book filled with names. “What do you think of these?” He pointed to a few options, reading them aloud dramatically, “How about ‘Gideon’ or ‘Ariana’?” I rolled my eyes playfully. “You know, I have to veto ‘Gideon’ right off the bat. It sounds like a character in a bad sci-fi movie.”“Alright, alright. No Gideon,” he chuckled, jotting it down as a no-go. “What about ‘Zara’? It’s strong, like you.”My heart warmed at his compliment, but a small part of me hesitated. “Zara is pretty, but it feels almost… too trendy? I’d want something with a bit of history.”“Fair point,” he replied, his pencil tapping thoughtfully against

  • Bound To My Alpha Mate    Burst of sunshine

    Avery's Pov The warmth of his embrace eased the flutter of nerves in my stomach. With Zane's arms around me, I felt a mix of safety and excitement. It was like standing on the edge of a cliff, peering into the unknown—terrifying but exhilarating all at once. "Have you thought about names?" he asked, pulling back just enough to look into my eyes, a spark of playful curiosity igniting his features. I laughed, the sound bubbling up like a burst of sunshine through clouds. "Maybe it's a bit too early for that, don't you think?” “Not at all,” he replied, his grin widening. “We can brainstorm! I mean, we have to be ready for the baby name book, right?” A new wave of amusement washed over me, and I couldn’t help but picture ourselves poring over names together. “Okay, if we’re doing this, I need to include your criteria for names,” I teased. “What constitutes a ‘Zane-approved’ name?” He pretended to ponder for a moment, placing his hand on his chin thoughtfully. “It has to be strong an

  • Bound To My Alpha Mate    Ready or not

    Avery's POVThe truth hung in the air, thick and heavy, as the reality of Kendra’s words crashed over us. I was pregnant. The phrase echoed in my mind, a blend of disbelief and a rush of emotions that felt almost overwhelming. Joy, fear, excitement, and anxiety erupted within me, a chaotic storm swirling in my chest.Zane’s arm tightened around my shoulders, grounding me as my thoughts spiraled. He captured my gaze, his eyes shimmering with a mixture of emotions that mirrored my own. In that moment, the world outside lost its significance, and all that mattered was us—what we had created together. “I—” I struggled to articulate my thoughts, words tumbling over one another in my mind. “What do we do now?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper, as I searched his expression for answers.“We figure it out together,” Zane replied, his voice steady but laced with emotion. “We take it one step at a time.” There wasn’t a hint of doubt in his demeanor, and as the gravity of my situation sa

  • Bound To My Alpha Mate    Pregnant

    Avery’s POV A heavy silence settled around us, punctuated only by the ticking clock on the wall and the soft rustle of packaging as Kendra set up the pregnancy test. Time felt suspended, each second stretching into eternity. My heart raced, caught between fear and anticipation, while my mind churned with unanswered questions. Zane’s presence was a steadying force beside me. His hand remained entwined with mine, his thumb tracing soothing circles on my palm. I wanted to focus on the comfort of his touch, but the enormity of what was about to happen loomed large in my thoughts. “What if I’m not ready for this?” I repeated, more to myself than to him, the thought echoing like a haunting melody. “Avery, nobody is ever fully ready,” Zane replied, his voice a low rumble of support. “But we’ll figure it out together. Whatever this result is, we’ll tackle it as a team." His unwavering confidence was soothing, yet my own doubts antagonized me. I didn’t want to let fear dictate my life, bu

  • Bound To My Alpha Mate    What now?

    Craig’s POV As Delilah led the way through the thicket, I kept a vigilant eye on our surroundings, scanning for any signs of danger the moment we stepped away from the safety of our temporary haven. I could feel my pulse pounding in my ears, each beat echoing the urgency of our situation.“Where exactly are we going?” I whispered to Delilah as we navigated the dense undergrowth, branches snagging at my clothes as if they were trying to hold me back from the path ahead.“To the old hunting lodge,” she answered quickly, darting glances behind us. “It’s abandoned, but it should be worn enough that no one is likely to search it.”“We can’t stay there long,” I warned, my gut twisted with the knowledge that time was not on our side. “What if they track us?”“They might, but the longer we stay away from Alpha Zane’s territory, the better. They’ll be searching for you, no doubt. We need to throw them off your trail.” That thought should have reassured me, but instead, fear twisted tighter i

  • Bound To My Alpha Mate    There for you, Avery

    Zane’s grip on my hand tightened as he considered my question, his brow furrowing under the weight of uncertainty. “Then we take it one step at a time, just like Kendra said,” he replied softly, his voice steady despite the turmoil in the air. “We’ll talk about it. We’ll figure it out together. No matter what.”His confidence was both comforting and terrifying. I opened my eyes and met his gaze, searching for reassurance amidst the chaos of my thoughts. “But what if I’m not ready for this, Zane?” My voice trembled as I spoke, fear and vulnerability tumbling forth like a flood. “What if I can’t be the person that a baby needs?”Zane’s expression softened, compassion radiating from him. “Avery, none of us are ever fully ready for things like this. Life throws us challenges, and we just adapt. You’re strong; I've seen you face things that would break others. Plus, you wouldn’t be doing this alone.” I felt a spark of warmth at his words, but doubt still lingered. “And what about you? Are

  • Bound To My Alpha Mate    Feeling unwell

    Avery's POV As I gazed into Zane’s eyes, a warm afterglow surrounded us, melting away the remnants of our earlier conflict. But as that sense of connection enveloped me, I felt a sudden wave of nausea crash over me. A bead of cold sweat trickled down my back as I pulled away from Zane, the world around me beginning to spin.“Um, I—” I stammered, my voice faltering. “I think I need to sit down for a—”Before I could finish my sentence, the room tilted precariously, and I stumbled, clutching my stomach. Panic surged through me as I rushed to the side, barely making it to the bathroom just in time. I barely managed to turn on the light before the contents of my stomach surged forth, heaving violently as dry heaves followed. Tears pricked at the corners of my eyes, more from the shock than the physical discomfort.“Avery!” Zane called out, his voice echoing with alarm just outside the door. I could hear his footsteps rushing in my direction.The door swung open, and I looked up to see hi

  • Bound To My Alpha Mate    Defiant

    Avery's POV“I understand more than you think,” I said, matching his intensity with my own. “But I refuse to let that weight crush my spirit—or my ability to fight for it.”“For once, can’t you just trust that I know what’s best?” he demanded, his voice thick with emotion. “Trust goes both ways, Zane,” I countered, my heart pounding in my chest. “If I can’t trust you to hear me out, if I can’t have a say in our direction, then I might as well be standing alone in this fight.”“Fine then!” Zane thundered, his frustration spilling over as he turned away from me, fuming under the pressure of our conversation. “If you want to defy me, I will take actions necessary to ensure you’re safe, even if it means locking you in here.”My breath hitched in my throat, anger flaring once again. “Are you really willing to go that far? To actually isolate me from everything and everyone?”“Maybe I need to!” he snapped, but his voice faltered as he saw my expression. “Avery, I don’t want to—but you leav
