Bound by Fate, Claimed by Love

"Do you want me to stay with you tonight, honey?” My dad asked me, staring concernedly down at me. It seemed he had aged ten years in just a few hours. I shook my head woodenly, staring at the same spot on the wall I had been staring at since my eyes exhausted their supply of tears. "Are you sure?"Another nod. The Alpha's mother whispered something to him and finally, they both left, leaving me alone for the first time since the disaster that was my wedding. My face was blotchy, and my hair hung in tattered strands down my face. I had refused to get out of my wedding dress despite careful prompts from both my dad and the Alpha's mother. She had acted like I imagined my mother would, and that should have touched me, but in my current state, I didn't care. I waited for the click of the door that would signify that they had locked me in, but nothing came. I sat still, silently staring down at my nails. They had been ruined when I scratched at Sean. Despite my not having a wolf, I

My heart began to pound as I forced myself to walk calmly, breathing deeply to stabilize my heartbeat. One of the things I'd learned by living with wolves was that if they heard or saw any sign of weakness, they pounced. A speeding heart was a dead giveaway of how scared I was, and I quickly brought it under control, maintaining my brisk pace. I knew the nearest pack was miles away, but I was sure if I kept walking in one direction, I could meet something or someone. After just a few minutes of carrying my light suitcase, I began to regret bringing it with me. I knew I was being stalked. And if those wolves decided to give chase, running with a suitcase wouldn't help me - not that I was even fast enough to outrun a shifted werewolf. They would be upon me in a second. My best bet was to maintain my pace and pretend I didn't know I was being followed. I increased my pace when the first drizzles of rain hit my face and I heard the crunch of twigs being stepped on behind me. With a fe

IN THE CAR"How old are you?" Kristen asked, and Bella became confused."Twenty, why?" She answered, and Kristen locked his lips with hers. Bella was shocked; this was not expected. Kristen would never kiss her, not in a million years. She tried resisting, but he was such a good kisser. She had kissed before, but that was when she was fifteen, and now she was kissing again. But out of everyone, did he have to be her best friend's brother?Kristen was kissing her so deeply that she succumbed to it. Then she remembered the ten rules and immediately removed her lips. Kristen was confused, and Bella kept looking around like she was a psychopath. She got out of the car, and Kristen got out with her. She kept trying to walk away, but Kristen pulled her back."Where are you going?" He asked, and she tried to avoid his eyes."I...I...have to get out of here...I...I have to go," she said, trying to register all that happened.Kristen heaved a deep sigh. "If it's about the kiss, it's nothing. I

I woke up and heard a loud banging on the door, I became distraught and annoyed. Who was knocking on my door so very early in the morning? I was annoyed and struggled to get up, staggering also the way back to the door.“Who is it?” I opened the door, realizing that it was my beta —James.I scoffed, running my hands through my hair. “You had better have a good reason for waking me up; otherwise, we're both going to have a problem,” I threatened him.He raised his hands in surrender. “I wouldn't have come here if it wasn't an emergency, but you have to come to see for yourself,” he told me.I sighed, hoping that it was a good cause at least. “What is it? What's going on?” I demanded to know.“It's about Nova. She's nowhere to be found and her father is here to see you. He's been causing a scene and demanded that you show up,” he explained.I was confused, wondering what you had to do with me. “Why is he making a scene here? Does he think I'm behind her disappearance or what?” I scowled

LUTHERI followed James into my study, curious to know what he had in mind to say to me because I wanted nothing more than to go back to that room and spend more time with her. It was getting kind of strange how I was already becoming more and more addicted to her.I didn't even know what he wanted to talk about yet but I was already feeling impatient and desperately wanted to know what the heck he had to say so that I could go back to her. I was almost dying of curiosity as he walked into my study.I got hold of my seat, facing and eager to hear him wrap up whatever he had in mind to say but for a few seconds he just stayed quiet and didn't say anything which pissed me off."Are you going to start talking or should I make you?" I threatened, feeling extremely eager to know what he wanted to say.He just rolled his eyes at me and then sat down straight to let me know all that was happening. "Your father and aunt are coming back to the pack," he announced.I felt thrills run down my sp
