Bound by the Moon: Alina's Destiny Investigation
After weeks of watching Alina from afar. Observing the quiet strength in her every movement. I realized just how much I had lost.She had changed. The light that once danced in her eyes filled with innocence had dimmed, replaced by something deeper.Wiser, but wearier one that I caused all those years ago. Yet my love for her hadn’t waned. If anything, it had only grown stronger, especially now as I watched her so closely.I watched her smile that was small but genuinein every way. when ever she was with her close friends. The way she tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear when she was deep in thought.The way she cradled her child with infinite tenderness. She was a mother, a protector, a provider. Not only for her child, but for her mother as well.It didn’t sit right with me that she was struggling alone. Years ago, I had ensured that her mother would be cared for.That she would never have to worry about medical expenses or comfort. But now, that aid was gone. She had eithe

The air in the council chamber was heavy with tension, the kind that wrapped around my spine like a snake ready to strike. My fingers tapped against the armrest of my chair as I looked across the long table at the man opposite me—Jonathan.My fourth cousin. A man who had always hovered at the edges of power, watching, waiting, coveting. His jealousy of me had never been a secret. Though we shared the same bloodline, the throne was never his to claim. Too far removed, too many obstacles. Yet it had never stopped him from dreaming. From scheming.He looked at me with a smirk, his sharp face giving away nothing but amusement. As if this were a game, a social visit rather than an inquisition.“I hope there’s a good reason for this, cousin?” he drawled, leaning back in his chair, his condescension as annoying as ever.I didn’t waste time on small talk. “Why did you cut off the aid to Alina’s mother?”His lips twitched. “Right to the point, as always.” He shrugged, tilting his head as if th

Two weeks had passed since that confrontation with Jonathan. Two weeks of carefully unraveling the web of deceit that had been spun around Alina. Two weeks of planning, strategizing, waiting.I had suspected That Alpha henry and eve had a finger in this filthy pie. My question was, were they only tasting or had they baked it themselves? They had every motive to do this. It sure would make things easier for them had Alina just disappeared. However, I had no evidence to support my claim. Around every little corner, they were completely clean. I sat at the table as I waited for the alphas to take their seats. All the alphas within my kingdom were gathered here today. I called on them, as I needed to discuss something of great importance.I sat at the head of the massive stone table, my expression impassive as I observed the gathered leaders. Some had pledged loyalty to me without question. Others had aligned themselves with the so-called movement Jonathan had warned me about. And then th

Two years since I last saw Alina.Two years of watching from the shadows, keeping her safe without her ever knowing. The threats had dwindled, the attacks stopped. I had almost thought those who wanted her gone had given up.I should have known better.My burner phone buzzed in my pocket, the vibration a low hum against the silence of my office. I grabbed it instantly, pressing it to my ear as I leaned forward, my muscles coiling. Only one person had this number.“Talk.”The voice on the other end was distorted, masked by a digital filter that made it sound mechanical. Calm and measured.“There was an attack tonight.”My grip on the phone tightened, my knuckles white. “What?”The voice remained steady. “It was stopped before she even knew what was happening and shes perfectly fine. However a man was going to shoot her in the back tonight. I took care of it before he got the chance.”I exhaled sharply. “Who?”“Malvin a hired gun. He was disposable who refused to talk so i shut his mout

The moment I saw her car pull onto the street, my chest tightened. Two years. Two years of distance, of silence, of pretending I could let her go. But here I was, trailing behind her like some desperate fool, ensuring she was safe from the shadows.This wasn’t the plan. But i just couldnt help myself.I had told myself I would stay away. That keeping my distance was the only way to protect her. That she was better off without me, better off without the mess that came with my name, my world. But watching her now, knowing danger still lurked, I couldn’t convince myself of that lie any longer. I couldnt stay away much longer. I promised myself i would wait untill the time and place my spy had organized. But i couldnt wait that long. Anything could happen at any time.She had no idea how many threats I had handled without her knowing. Shadow stirred inside me, restless, his frustration bleeding into mine."You should never have let her go," he snarled, his voice low and brimming with fur

The bass thrummed through the walls, the pulse of the club alive with heat, bodies, and alcohol. I could barely tolerate places like this. Too many scents mixing, too much distraction. But tonight, I had a reason to be here.I had a spy to meet.For two years, I had relied on a single informant. A ghost in Alina’s life, keeping her safe from the dangers she never knew existed. A shadow who fed me every threat, every whisper of danger, every move that could bring harm to her.And tonight, I was finally meeting them.I stood in the dim VIP lounge, my fingers curling into fists as I watched the figure approach.Then I blinked.A woman.Not just any woman.Alex.Alina’s best friend.The realization struck like a slap. I had expected some hardened rogue, some faceless mercenary who knew how to stay out of sight. Instead, it was her.She smirked at my silence, raising an eyebrow as she took the seat across from me. “Not what you were expecting?”I exhaled through my nose, my expression unre

The VIP lounge was dimly lit, the air thick with alcohol, perfume, and sweat. Laughter and conversation hummed in the background, but I wasn’t listening to any of it.Because the moment I stepped inside, I felt her.Alina.Shadow stirred inside me, restless, his growl vibrating through my bones. “And she’s ours.”he rumbled“Not yet,” I reminded him.I kept my movements casual, masking the way my eyes searched for her.“Mind if I join you?” I asked smoothly as i stood in the door of the vip suit.Alex smirked up at me, eyes glinting with mischief. “How could I say no to that face?” she purred, running a hand along my cheek.I kept my expression neutral. I knew we making it look natural, as if we had never met before, but her sudden fliting threw me off my game ever so slightly.I couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow at her theatrics.“What are you doing?” I murmured low enough for only her to hear.Alex chuckled, tilting her head. “I’m helping you, Alpha,” she teased. “You want Alina, ri

The second my lips met her skin, I felt her surrender all control.It was subtle. The smallest shift in her breath, the way her body melted into mine for a fraction of a second. But it was enough. Enough to tell me she wanted this just as much as I wanted her.And damn, did I want her.The club, the noise, the people it all faded into nothing. There was only Alina. Only the way she felt against me, the way her scent wrapped around me. Drowning me in something I had been deprived of for too long.My grip tightened on her waist, pulling her back against me, pressing her curves flush against my body. Her fingers trailed over my chest, hesitating for just a moment before they splayed out, claiming me the way I wanted to claim her.I didn’t stop her.I let her touch me, let her feel exactly who she was pressed against.Because this wasn’t just some random man on the dance floor.It was me.Her mate.Her past.Her future.Her hands swept down, tracing the hard lines of my abdomen, and my co

Bound by the Moon: Alina's Destiny Sober up
Sometime in the night, exhaustion had finally won. I had cried myself into a restless sleep, only to wake up feeling just as drained, just as hollow as before.The ache in my chest hadn’t faded. The weight of last night still pressed down on me, making it hard to breathe, hard to think.I sank lower into the bath, hoping the warm water would do something—anything—to cleanse me of everything that had happened. To soak away my guilt. To wash away my betrayal.To drown the war raging inside me.Maybe if I stayed in here long enough, I would step out as someone new. Someone who deserved to be queen.Because today wasn’t just any day.Today, I had to stand before the entire kingdom and make my promise. My vow to be their Luna, their queen.But how could I swear my loyalty to an entire kingdom when I couldn’t even control my own heart?I let out a long sigh, closing my eyes for just a moment before finally forcing myself to stand.An omega was already waiting for me when I stepped back into
Bound by the Moon: Alina's Destiny Kisses and Punches.
I knew I was no match for Andrew. His family had that stupid strength ability. The one that made them nearly invincible in battle. It gave them an advantage over any other alpha, and right now.I was experiencing that disadvantage firsthand.His grip around my throat was tight, but not suffocating. He was giving me a chance. A small, razor-thin chance to explain myself before he crushed my windpipe."Woah, woah, woah," I rasped. "I thought it was innocent until proven guilty?"The second the words left my mouth, I could see his expression shift. It wasn’t what he expected me to say. His grip loosened ever so slightly, and his brows pulled together in confusion."So, you deny kissing your queen?" His voice was sharp."MY mate," he snarled.I let out a slow breath, rubbing my throat once he finally let go."I never said that," I admitted, sitting up slightly. "But I didn’t do it as some sort of power play against you. I didn’t do it to dethrone you. Whether you want to know this or
Bound by the Moon: Alina's Destiny Fury and Dominance
"I can't," I whispered, my voice barely escaping my lips.Andrew’s fist slammed down onto the bedside table with such force that the entire thing shattered beneath his strength.The loud crack echoed through the room, a perfect reflection of the breaking pieces inside me."Did you even try?" he asked, his voice struggling to remain gentle even when his entire being trembled with frustration.I squeezed my eyes shut. I wished I had an answer that wouldn’t tear him apart. But I didn’t."I did," I admitted. "But… part of me couldn’t even bring myself to say the words."Silence.The kind of silence that stretches too long. The kind that stripped the air of all oxygen.When I finally looked at him, his eyes were filled with pain and betrayal."Do you even want to reject him?"His question slammed into me, hitting a part of my soul I hadn’t even realized existed.Just the thought alone was too painful to entertain.The idea of forcing Jeremiah away, of severing whatever bond existed betwe
Bound by the Moon: Alina's Destiny Reject him...
"I'm so sorry, Andrew. I didn't mean to," I whispered. My voice broke under the immense weight of my guilt.I could feel his body go rigid beneath me, his muscles turning to stone.Slowly, hesitantly, I lifted my gaze, my tear-streaked face tilting up toward his.His eyes were locked on mine. Searching for answers to the million questions filling his mind.He cupped my cheeks. Protective and possessive yet there was a slight warmth mixed in."What happened?" he asked again, his voice deep and controlled.Tears kept falling. I couldn't stop them now even if I wanted to."I… I… went f-for a… w-walk in the… f-forest," I stuttered, barely able to get the words out.Andrew just listened, waiting patiently."J-Jeremiah was t-there," I continued, and his entire body tensed.His hands twitched against my skin. His fingers gripped slightly tighter, almost like he was ready to crush something...or someone.His jaw clenched.His aura shifted."I swear, if he hurt you…" His voice was more of a gr
Bound by the Moon: Alina's Destiny After effects
“I’ve got to go,” I said, my voice barely above a whisper as I stood up.I needed to get out of here. I needed space to breathe. Space to think.But before I could take a single step, Jeremiah’s hand wrapped around my wrist.The movement was swift and it threw me off balance.My feet stumbled causing me to fall right into his chest.My breath hitched as his arms instinctively wrapped around me, steadying me against his warmth. His scent wrapped around me like a cocoon, seeping into my skin. Tempting me even further. putting me in a haze.I tilted my head up, meeting his gaze.His eyes locked onto mine, swirling with something unspoken.Maybe Awe.Maybe Longing.Maybe Love.In a split second.His lips crashed into mine.It was not a hesitant kiss. It was not unsure.It was the kind of kiss that spoke of lifetimes.Of familiarity.Of .... I missed you.And for a moment, I let myself melt into it.I let myself drown in the way his lips molded to mine, how perfectly they fit together, lik
Bound by the Moon: Alina's Destiny Limitations and Cost's
I stared at him, completely taken aback by his words.He thinks I’m his mate?A sharp jolt of shock shot through me, followed almost immediately by confusion.That wasn’t possible.Was it?I let out a small, breathless laugh, nudging his shoulder lightly. “Funny joke, Alpha Jeremiah.”But he didn’t laugh.His eyes didn’t waver, his lips didn’t curl into that usual cocky smirk.Instead, he looked dead serious.His deep brown eyes locked onto mine, burning with something I couldn’t quite place.Something… certain.“It’s not a joke, Alina,” he murmured, his voice low and smooth.And the way my name rolled off his tongue...Goddess help me.I swallowed, shaking my head. “I’m sure I would’ve felt it if you were.”Wouldn’t I?That’s how the mate bond worked.The pull. The connection. The raw, undeniable force that tied two souls together.But Jeremiah didn’t back down.Instead, his hand reached up, his fingers brushing against the strands of my hair, lifting them gently to expose my mark.H
Bound by the Moon: Alina's Destiny Mine?
“You scared the shit out of me, Jeremiah.”My heart was still hammering against my ribs, wild and erratic like an African drum.I sucked in a breath, trying to steady myself, but the adrenaline coursing through my veins refused to settle. My entire body was on high alert, still shaken from the attack that wasn’t really an attack at all.Jeremiah, on the other hand?Completely unfazed.The bastard had the audacity to look amused as he stood there in all his glory.And by all… I mean all.My gaze trailed over him before my brain could catch up.The moonlight kissed every inch of his perfectly sculpted body, highlighting the taut muscles of his chest, the sharp ridges of his abs, the strong lines of his arms.Everything about him was raw, untamed strength.Dangerous and far too tempting.Then my eyes dipped lower...Oh, shit.Heat exploded across my face as I ripped my gaze away, turning my back to him so fast I nearly gave myself whiplash.Goddess help me.Jeremiah chuckled, a low, deep
Bound by the Moon: Alina's Destiny Snapping Branches
The kingdom was safe.For the first time, there were no whispers of war, no threats lurking beyond the borders. No traitors plotting in secret.Eve was gone.Cast out, rejected by every pack, left to wander alone with no power and no allies. It was the cruelest fate a wolf could face, but even that felt like too light of a punishment for her.Jonathan had been given a choice. Swear his loyalty to the crown or be stripped of his title and turned rogue. He had practically begged to sign the contract, choosing survival over whatever false sense of duty he had to Henry.As for the rest of Henry’s allied packs?They had been let off with a warning. A very serious warning.Now, they tripped over themselves trying to prove their allegiance, going above and beyond in their duties, sending gifts, wealth, even warriors to fight in Andrew’s name. Desperate to erase their betrayal from our memory.The kingdom had won.Andrew had won.But I?I had lost something far more important.Every time I pa
Bound by the Moon: Alina's Destiny Showers and Stories
The door shut behind us with a quiet click. The weight of the afternoon still clung to my skin. I just wanted to wash it all away. To feel clean again. To remove any traces of henry left on me.I stepped into the shower the warm spray of the water cascading down my back. Soothing the musscles before they even got the chance to ache. My body still felt the aftershocks of everything that had happened. The fight and the adrenaline.More so the anger that was beneath it all. But at least now I could breathe.Or so I thought.Because when I looked up, Andrew was standing there at the entrance of the shower. Leaning against the wall.His arms were crossed and his jaw tight. But this wasn’t his usual confident stance he liked so much. No... this was different.His eyes weren’t filled with that lust and hunger i loved so much. They weren’t watching me the way they usually did when we were alone.No, this was something else entirely.And i already had a feeling where this would go.“What hap
