The air that night was thick with tension.

Derek's eyes were fixed on the dark shape standing at the edge of the forest, his muscles coiled like a spring ready to unwind. The sight of Ronan, alive, stirred up a fierce turmoil inside him. His wolf growled, a low, throaty sound that resonated in his chest.

Diva was beside him, her breathing in ragged gasps, her fists curled into the wood of the balcony railing. The moon cast a faint light on her face, highlighting the fear in her dilated eyes.

Beneath the fear, however,

Something else was there.

Anger.

Ronan didn't move. He simply stood there, looking at them, the same sadistic smile on his mouth. A silent taunt. A promise of destruction.

Derek could not abide by it.

He turned sharply, storming down the steps, his body humming with adrenaline. His pack warriors had already gathered below, their eyes glowing in the darkness, waiting for his command.

Kieran appeared at his side, his voice low but urgent. “Derek, don’t rush into this.”

  • Bound To The Fearful Alpha    Ronan Against Derek

    The world was transformed.When Ronan was transformed, the world was reformed.The field of battle, where wolves once ran crimson with blood, was now smaller, stifled by his mere presence. Dark energy tendrils encircled his monstrous form, his colossal frame no longer wolf, but something much more terrifying. His eyes, red-rimmed with an unnatural light, held Derek's gaze.Derek felt it—the strangely power radiating from him, thick as smoke, filling his lungs, clawing at his skin. His instincts screamed at him to flee, to strike, but for the first time in years a flicker of doubt intruded.Diva receded, breathing in harsh spasms. Something was wrong near Ronan, the very fabric of reality seeming to distort.But Derek had no time to hesitate.Ever. Now.With a snarl, he burst forward, claws raking against Ronan's throat.Faster. Leathal. Precise.But Ronan was faster.Much faster.A dark smear—then pain.A brutal blow to the ribs sent Derek crashing.He slammed into the trunk of a tree

    The battlefield still smelled of blood. Ash and death clung to the air like a sickness, thick and suffocating. But Derek barely noticed it.His lungs burned, his ribs throbbed, and the deep gash across his chest still leaked blood. But all of that was nothing compared to the storm raging inside him.Ronan was gone.Not dead. Not defeated.Gone.And that terrified him more than anything.Diva stood a few feet away, frozen in place. The way Ronan had looked at her—the way he had spoken—those words clawed at Derek’s mind."So that’s what you are."Derek turned toward her, his breath unsteady. “Diva.”She didn’t answer.She was trembling. Her hands clenched into fists, her nails digging into her palms, but she didn’t seem to notice.Derek reached for her. “Diva, talk to me—”“Don’t,” she whispered. Her voice was raw, broken. “I— I don’t know what just happened.”But she did.Derek could see it in her eyes. She was scared. Of herself.His chest tightened.“Whatever that was, we’ll figure i

    A shiver ran down Diva’s spine.Soren inhaled sharply, his body going rigid.Isolde’s gaze flickered to him, amused. “You smell it too, don’t you? That power in her blood?”Soren said nothing.Diva’s pulse thundered in her ears.Isolde took a slow step forward. “Ronan was right.” Her voice was almost reverent. “You’re something else.”Derek growled. “Back off.”Isolde barely spared him a glance. “And you,” she said, voice laced with mock pity. “Poor Alpha. Always fighting. Always protecting.” Her eyes gleamed. “Always losing.”Derek’s growl deepened.Diva forced herself to breathe. “What do you want?”Isolde’s lips curved.“Your blood.”The words were soft. Deadly.The wolves behind Soren tensed.Diva’s blood ran cold. “Why?”Isolde sighed, almost bored. “Because, darling, your blood is the key.” Her smile sharpened. “To everything.”Derek moved in an instant.A blur of motion.Claws slashing—But Isolde was faster.She dodged, spinning with unnatural grace, her cloak billowing as she

    The night air felt heavier than before, thick with something unnatural.Diva’s mind raced."You are not meant to exist."The creature’s words echoed in her skull, rattling her bones.What did it mean?What was she?She shook her head, forcing herself to focus. Now wasn’t the time to break.They had three days before Isolde came for her.Three days to find answers.Three days to survive.Derek exhaled sharply, his hand tight on her wrist. “We need to move.”Soren was already ahead, his expression unreadable, but there was no hostility anymore. Whatever doubts he had about Diva, the creature’s sudden arrival had shaken him too.Diva’s heartbeat pounded in her ears as they ran through the trees.She tried to keep up, but something inside her felt wrong.Like something inside her was stirring.Like something inside her was waking up.Then—A howl split the silence.Not a wolf’s.Something worse.Derek stopped abruptly, throwing his arm in front of her.

    Diva’s breath hitched.Ronan’s smile was slow, cruel.“I’ve been waiting for you,” he said again, his voice a quiet promise of destruction.Derek stepped forward, his body rigid with fury. “You shouldn’t be here.”Ronan only chuckled, his sharp gaze never leaving Diva.“Don’t you want to know the truth, little one?” he asked, tilting his head.Diva’s stomach clenched.She didn’t trust him.She didn’t want to hear him.But deep down—She needed to know.The creatures had feared her.Why?Derek growled. “You have three seconds to leave before I rip your throat out.”Ronan’s expression didn’t change. “You won’t,” he murmured. “Not when she still has questions. Not when she knows something inside her is… wrong.”Diva flinched.He was right.Something was wrong.Something had always been wrong.And Ronan knew why.Derek turned to her, his golden eyes desperate. “Don’t listen to him, Diva.”But she already was.She took a step forward, her voice low. “Tell me.”Derek stiffened. “Diva—”“I n

    Diva ran. The field was a charnel house of corpses and shattered weapons, air thick with the stench of blood and burning earth. Her lungs burned, muscles shrieking for respite, but she didn't stop. She couldn't. Not as long as Derek fought on. Not as long as Ronan lived. Her feet were barely touching the ground as she wove through the carnage, leaping over fallen warriors, sidestepping puddles of crimson. The air above spun in a demented whirl of dark skies, charged with something not natural. Then— A glint of motion. Diva hardly had time to respond when something slammed into her, driving her to the earth. The impact rattled her bones, stole her breath. Pain flared, but she fought through it, scrambling up to hands and knees, already preparing to shift if necessary. Then she saw him. A tall, unmoving figure towered over her, his face hidden under a deep hood. Shadows clung to him like living things, as if they knew him as their own. Diva's instincts screamed danger. She sc

    Diva’s breath came fast, chest rising and falling in rapid succession.Caelan’s words echoed in her head, looping like a curse.“Derek was never meant to be your mate.”A lie. It had to be.ChapterBut something inside her—something buried deep—twisted at the thought.No.She squared her shoulders, forcing herself to breathe, forcing herself to deny the doubt clawing at her ribs.“Then explain.”Caelan studied her, as if measuring whether she was ready for the truth. Then, he spoke."Ronan’s curse wasn’t just meant to bind you to Derek.” His voice was low, deliberate. "It was meant to blind you to the real bond—the one that was always yours."Diva’s stomach clenched. “That’s impossible.” Her voice was sharp, edged with desperation. “I felt the bond with Derek the moment I met him.”Caelan shook his head. “No. You felt something. But not what you think.”He stepped closer, his presence unnervingly steady.“The bond you share with Derek is a fabrication. It was forced into existence thro

  • Bound To The Fearful Alpha    The Shattered Dawn

    Diva's heart thudded in her ears as she sprinted through the broken gate of the devastated courtyard. Dawn light fought through the dark clouds to cast a deserted battlefield strewn in chaos. Wolves—her loyal pack—poured rapidly around her, their eyes blazing with determination, but in their trail, a wire of tension crackled like lightning. Every step echoed with the urgency of a last stand. Abruptly, without precursor, a low, rasping bellow shredded the air. From ruin and wreckage, the foe appeared—faces twisted by shadow and terror. In this instant, Diva seized her sword in white-knuckled resolve. She rushed forward like a flood, fluid and untamed in action. Her cry, tempered from sheer will, rang out, "For the light and for our future!" The voice itself was a vow that the very darkness looming could not consume. Derek, bloody and marred but with the flame of a true Alpha still burning fierce inside him, stood beside her. His battle-worn eyes blazed like a guardian's whenever they c

    The eyes of Diva flew wide as war disappeared into heavy silence. She shuddered in released energy everywhere she looked out over Chapter 83's field of war. The walls of the fortress reverberated with the din of old wars, and broken stone at every splintered pillar reverberated with the history of pain and suffering. But here in the heavy stillness, another noise erupted—a thudding, pounding boom out of the depths of darkness. Her own heart boomed like a mad drum as she moved ahead, her bare feet squelching through rain-sodden passage. Memory of betrayal surrounded her, of hope betrayed that still smoldered beneath. For every step there was the wordless cry of rage and fierce hope that had driven her this far.His resolute and confident eyes now sparkled with uncertainty. She could feel the unspoken anguish from his eyes—a mix of frustration and helplessness—as if their mutual burden of fate had finally begun to break him from the pretence. Each spasm of the enemy lurking in the darkne

    Diva closed her eyes and breathed. The process was agonizing—a flood of memories, loss, grief, images, and love threatened to overwhelm her. She wept, the anguish running through her like an arrow. With each tear she wept, something else retreated into hiding. Finally, her heart and spirit opened to show a seething, raw energy that ran through her, full to brimming from the depths within. As she opened her eyes, they glowed with focus and determination. "I am ready to fight for our future," she murmured. As if on cue, the war horns of the enemy rang in the distance. The pack was getting ready to make one final push. Time was short. Diva stepped into the room, moving with slow determination. Derek stood waiting, his gaze sweeping hers with a silent vow and a fear. For a moment, as the initial light of morning sliced through darkness, their union stood whole and unbroken amidst all the earlier trials. "Both of us," Derek whispered, voice soft and obstinate. "Together," she repeated once

    Diva's heels pounded the wet road as she rushed down the winding corridors of the citadel. The bewildering events of last night still echoed with every inhalation. She was driven by bitter betrayal and fear of an uncertain tomorrow. Chapter 81's cryptic warning haunted her—the ominous warning that success earned with blood and toil was vulnerable and shadows clung only at an arm's distance. Behind her, the ferocity of battle receded into the distant, persistent hum—a reminder that there were still threats out there, waiting just beyond reach. Her heart racing in her chest, she gripped her sword tightly, every step the result of raw desperation. The pack had regrouped after the last attack, but suspicion and wariness seethed beneath their hides. Every wolf's eye showed the tension, the underlying fear of the unseen threat. Diva's mind remembered Derek's wretched, desperate face as he had promised to live. His heart-rending voice which had once given them a future now was besmirched

    She looked at Derek. His own eyes, still burning with determination even though he was hurt, reflected her own horror and shock. They both felt that moment of wordless comprehension that every second now counted.The stranger went on, "Three days from now, judgment will be upon you. Until then, you need to prepare and gather your spread light. Only thus can you try to overcome the darkness that will cover you.".Diva's brain went haywire. Three days. The countdown has begun. Each second was a precious, clockwork moment that could rescue her or nothing. Her heart thumped with adrenaline and utter terror. "And what is your price?" she snarled, voice steady over the tempest raging within her.The stranger's eyes clenched and he gave no swift reply. He extended his hand—a gesture in silence full of potential and threat. The air was charged with tension.Diva hesitated, hand hanging between the palmar calluses of destiny and trembling skin. She knew that to take it would reverse everything

    The beat of Diva's heart was a war drum pounding as she led the pack into the ruined courtyard of the stronghold. The sunrise on the horizon-painted with red and gold—a bitter reminder that even a morning plucked from the darkness had horrors yet Chapterunimagined. Every step a battle cry, every breath a challenge of the shadows that would consume them.Diva's gaze scanned the horizon, where morning's earliest light and smoke from burning fires were combined. The enemy was advancing again. From that chaos, the Void awoke from slumber—its strength always on standby, devouring at her whim. She gripped her sword firmly, with brute strength flowing through her, a skill she'd had pounded into her veins and given.By her side, Derek strode with desperate circumspection, his gold eyes blazed hot though welts on his battered frame testified to a struggle of another sort. His hand is still fast around hers, a promise that they should never be parted, no matter what. They had fought for this fl

    Diva paused in the doorway of an enormous room. The ground was strewn with shards of broken mirror, each with partial reflections of the past—a past of love, loss, and endless struggle. In the center of the room, balanced atop a pedestal, sat a glowing fragment of mirror. Its beam was peaceful, nearing in upon her.Varin invited them in. "That is the Fragment of Light," he said to them. "It holds in it the promise of rebirth, but at a price. To claim it, you have to let go of that which binds you to your sorrow."Diva's stomach pulled in. Every memory, every sob, every whispered promise was hers. To let it go…was like erasing her very being.She looked at Derek. His eyes silently pleaded with her—a mix of love and sadness that nearly shattered her determination.She closed her eyes for a moment, drawing a jagged breath. When she opened them again, they burned with a fierce resolve. "I choose our future," she whispered. "Not the pain of the past."A brilliant light poured out of the sh

    Diva's heart thrummed as she sprinted down the stronghold stone corridor. Every step echoed like a rebellious drumbeat. Wind sliced across her cheek, mixed with the foam and purpose. Before her lay the dark threat beating like a living shadow; behind her lay the pack's warriors in a wall of growls and biding talons.Derek charged at her side, his golden eyes afire with a fierce determination that belied his battered body. His eyes, usually steady and reassuring, now blazed with urgency. During the fleeting interludes between battles, their eyes spoke all that needed saying—a silent vow to hold on, to fight on, no matter the cost.The enemy was no longer dark threat. Mutters had evolved to bellowing. The Void—the hoary, amorphous monster described in halcyon recollection of old myth—came into being. Its presence squeezed against the ramparts of the fortress like a hug of vengeful haze, distorting reality in fiendish, chaotic ways.A slam from the outside wall jarred the fortress brutal

    Diva's heart pounded against her ribcage as she sprinted down the fortress corridor, blinded by the black-outs. Every step a frantic trot through the silence of the aftermath. The devastation of the previous day's battle—scorched dirt and acrid shreds of broken vows—remained etched on the walls. Every burst of torchlight made her jump, every figure vanishing into the shadows reminded her of decisions now weighing on her conscience.She gripped her side where the bruise pulsed with pain, but not pain that hindered her—it was betrayal, the cold sting of doubt in her veins. Her mind whirled back to Caelan's words moments before, a poisonous truth that questioned her who she was. Even as the pack bayed her name in triumph, she felt a void gnawing in her chest, as if something was ripped away from her.Derek's dark form emerged from the corridor down the hall. His gait was uneven; each step a tell-tale for a man fighting the battle against fatigue and hidden grief. When his gaze met hers,
