Bound To The Fearful Alpha A Choice Made In Darkness
The forest pressed in around me, thick with silence.The wind carried a warning, a whisper against my skin.I should turn back.I didn’t.I kept moving, step after step, deeper into the unknown. I had made my choice.Find Ronan. Get answers. Before it’s too late.The black mist curled around my fingers again, restless. Hungry.I clenched my fists. It flickered, resisting me before it faded.Not gone. Just waiting.I swallowed hard.Something inside me was changing.And I didn’t know if I could stop it.—A sound behind me.A rustling. Steady. Measured.Not Ronan.But familiar.Derek.The scent of him hit me before I turned.He emerged from the trees, his frame tall, rigid, his golden eyes burning with something I didn’t want to name.Anger.Frustration.Relief.And something else—something worse.I exhaled slowly. “You shouldn’t be here.”Derek’s jaw clenched. “Neither should you.”His voice was rough, edged with something raw.I crossed my arms, keeping my face neutral. “Did Alec sen

The forest was silent.Too silent.The deeper I went, the more the night closed in. The trees seemed taller, darker—watching. Or maybe that was just the paranoia curling around my ribs.The black mist flickered at my fingertips again, restless, eager. It knew.It sensed what I was heading toward.Ronan.The name sent something sharp through me—anger, fear, something deeper I didn’t want to name.I needed to find him. Needed answers. Needed to understand what I was becoming.Derek’s voice echoed in my mind—his warnings, his doubt.I shoved them aside.I couldn’t afford hesitation.Not now.Then—the wind shifted.A scent. Familiar.Not Ronan.Someone else.I stopped. Tensed.A presence.Then—“You’re a fool to come here alone.”A deep, taunting voice.My heart clenched. I turned sharply, muscles coiling, ready to attack.Lukas.Ronan’s executioner. His shadow.The man who had once hunted me down like prey.He stepped out of the darkness, moonlight catching on the sharp angles of his fac

Diva’s POV"Welcome home, little wolf."The words slithered over my skin, wrapping around me like a second set of chains.I stared at Ronan, my pulse roaring in my ears. The black mist coiled around my wrists, inching toward him like it knew him. Like it recognized him.No.I wasn’t his.I yanked at the restraints, ignoring the burn in my wrists. “You think I belong here?” My voice was raw but firm.Ronan tilted his head, eyes gleaming with quiet amusement. “You don’t see it yet, do you?”A slow, creeping smile. “This power in you… it was never meant for Derek. It was never meant for your old life.”I gritted my teeth. “You’re wrong.”He stepped closer, golden gaze steady. “Then why does it respond to me so easily?”The mist shuddered, trembling in my grip, pulled between us. Betraying me.I clenched my fists. “You’re manipulating it.”Ronan chuckled. “Or maybe… it knows its true master.”A cold chill raced down my spine.No.That wasn’t possible.This power—**my power—**was mine alon

Diva’s POVThe battle was a storm.Claws, fangs, and the scent of blood filled the air. Wolves tore into each other, their growls echoing off the stone walls. Every strike sent a shockwave through the chamber.Derek fought like he was made of rage and fire.Every movement was lethal. Every strike meant to kill.But so was Ronan.Their blows were brutal, bone-breaking. Derek’s claws slashed deep across Ronan’s chest, and for a moment, I thought—this is it.Then Ronan laughed.A cruel, twisted sound.My stomach twisted.Derek lunged again. They clashed mid-air, their bodies colliding with a force that shook the very ground beneath us.I yanked against my chains, pain searing through my wrists. I had to help him.A shadow moved toward me.Lukas.His lip curled into a smirk, but I saw the hesitation in his eyes."Still want to fight?" he murmured.I bared my teeth. "Try me."Lukas sighed, almost regretful. Then he raised a dagger.Silver.My heart lurched.He aimed for my shoulder, but I

Diva’s POVThe silence after the battle felt too loud.Derek held me, his heartbeat strong beneath my cheek. Warm. Solid. Alive.But something had shifted inside me.The power I’d unleashed still lingered beneath my skin, pulsing like a second heartbeat. It wasn’t fading. It wasn’t done.And neither was Ronan.He hadn’t lost.He had wanted this.Derek’s fingers brushed against my jaw, tilting my face up. “You with me?”I swallowed hard. “Yeah.”His eyes searched mine, golden and fierce, but beneath the fire, I saw it—the flicker of doubt.Not in me.For me.The sound of footsteps snapped our attention toward the shadows.Lukas.Bloodied, exhausted, his usual arrogance dulled. His gaze flicked between us before settling on me.“I didn’t know he’d do that,” he muttered.Derek stiffened beside me, his voice a low growl. “You helped him.”Lukas raised his hands, wincing. “I didn’t have a choice.”I crossed my arms. “Why should we believe you?”Lukas exhaled sharply. “Because I know where

Diva’s POVThe silence after the battle was unbearable.The ruins still reeked of blood, of burnt magic, of something unholy.Derek’s arms were wrapped around me, his grip solid. I clung to him, to his warmth, to the reality of him being alive.But the way he looked at me—Like I was different.Like I wasn’t just Diva anymore.And maybe I wasn’t.The power I had unleashed still pulsed beneath my skin, whispering, curling, waiting. It had listened to me. Obeyed.And it wasn’t gone.A groan pulled me from my thoughts.Lukas.He staggered to his feet, face pale, his usual cocky smirk nowhere to be found.“Well,” he muttered, running a hand through his blood-matted hair. “That was… horrifying.”Derek ignored him. His golden eyes were locked on me. Searching. Questioning.I could feel what he wasn’t saying.What are you?I took a shaky step back. Derek’s hands dropped from my arms. The loss of his touch sent a chill through me.“I—” My voice cracked. “Is it really over?”Derek’s jaw tighte

Diva’s POVI woke up gasping.The nightmare clung to me, thick and suffocating. My skin was damp with sweat, my fingers trembling as I shoved the blankets away.Derek was already awake. Sitting at the edge of the bed, his back tense, shoulders rigid.He’d heard me.I swallowed hard. “Derek…”He turned, golden eyes locking onto mine. His expression unreadable.Then, after a long beat—“What did you see?”I hesitated.How could I tell him?That my father—a man I had never known—had spoken to me? That the power inside me wasn’t an accident?That I was never supposed to be weak?Derek’s patience thinned. “Diva. Tell me.”I forced the words out. “My father.”His entire body went still.“What?”I exhaled shakily. “He was in my dream. He spoke to me.” I clenched the sheets, grounding myself. “He said I was almost ready.”Derek swore under his breath and stood, raking a hand through his hair. “Almost ready for what?”I shook my head. “I don’t know.”Lies.I did know.I just wasn’t ready to say

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
Bound To The Fearful Alpha The Veil of Retribution
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
Bound To The Fearful Alpha Shadows Of Betrayal
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
Bound To The Fearful Alpha The Edge of Desperation
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
Bound To The Fearful Alpha The Countdown
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
Bound To The Fearful Alpha The Last Stand
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
Bound To The Fearful Alpha Diva's Power In play
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
Bound To The Fearful Alpha The Brink of Destiny
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
Bound To The Fearful Alpha The Uncertain Horizon
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,
