Her mission for revenge is clear, but fate has other plans. A shocking revelation throws her off course - they're bound by a mate bond, tying their destinies together. As Octavia struggles to reconcile her hatred for Darius with the unexpected feelings stirring inside her, she's torn between her desire for revenge and the traitorous flutter in her chest whenever he's near. Can she truly hate the man who once tormented her when her heart is now tied to his?
View MoreChapter 12OCTAVIA'S POVI'm still sitting hunched against the wall, my knees pulled to my chest, trying to stay sane. My throat aches, so dry it feels like it might tear open. My wrists burn where the ropes have rubbed them raw.The worst part is the fire.It starts in my chest, small at first, like an ember buried deep. I try to ignore it. Maybe it’s just my mind breaking apart, piece by piece. I’ve seen nothing but darkness for so long that my own body doesn’t feel like mine anymore.But the fire just won't stop spreading.Every time I think about Lucian...about his screams, it gets worse. It burns hotter every passing minute.“Where are you, baby?” I whisper, slipping my tongue over my dried and cracked lips, to relief some of the pain. I press my forehead down against my knees, squeezing my eyes shut. I will find you, Lucian. I swear.I drift again. Whether it’s sleep or unconsciousness, I can’t tell anymore.This time, I dream of home, a long forgotten memory.My father is ther
Chapter 11Time didn’t exist here.I didn't know how much time passed since, I saw Darius the last time, looked up in this damn cell. Days? Weeks? My head swam, and my body grew weaker, with every passing minute. The cold stone against my back was the only thing keeping me saine, though it felt more like a punishment than relief.I blinked my eyes, trying to clear my blurry vision, not that it made any difference in this all comsuming dark. My throat burned.. so dry I could barely swallow,and the faint smell of damp earth made me want to retch. My wrists throbbed where the ropes had rubbed raw, a constant sting that told me I was still here.Lucian…My mind clung to his name, a lifeline in the haze. I tried to remember the sound of his laugh, the warmth of his small hands clutching mine, but it was slipping, fading too quickly, too far away.Where are you Lucian?I drifted in and out of sleep...or maybe I was just unconsciousness . I didn’t know anymore. My head dropped to the side, m
Chapter 10 Octavia's POV He moved so fast toward my direction that I didn’t have time to react. One moment he was across the room; the next, he was leaning over me, his hand gripping my chin. “You’re wrong,” he said in a low, dangerous voice. "You are forever mine, Octavia. You always have been since the day I set my eyes on you. And Lucian, of course,... he's mine too." I looked at him, not letting the fear show in my eyes. "You can't make me stay, Darius. I won't let you be in charge anymore. It's time for you to finally see that." His fingers dug painfully into my chin, and for the briefest moment, I thought he might snap. But then he loosened his grip, dropping his hand to his side as he straightened up. I could see, that for a second, he almost lost control, the way that his jaw twitched. "Unfortunately for you," he said, his voice grew quieter but it was no less threatening, "you have no choice." "Darius, what did you do? Where is he?" I asked again, this time my
Chapter 9 Darius' POV The stench of blood and sweat filled my nose as I took a deep breath. Screams echoed from the castle walls, mixing with snarls and the crunch of wood breaking. My wolves were surging through the eastern wall now, tearing through stone and flesh. It isn't going to take ouch much longer before we captured the castle and everything in it. I turned around looking for Octavia and my son, and then I saw her. Octavia. She was running nonstop with Lucian in her arms, Ryker's scent carefully lingering on her like a brand. "She is mine alone." my wolf growld inside me, hating the fact that someone else took claim of her. Anraged my wolf howled loudly, as I transformed mid jump landing smootly on the ground. "Mine!" I roared possessively, running towards her. The world exploded for a split second as I jumped, the last thing I saw was the look of horror on her beautiful face. Octavia's POV I woke up in a dark strange place. "Where am I?", wispering not
Chapter 8 Ryker's POV The night air was eeriely tensed, filled with the horrible distant howls of anxious wolves and the faint rustle of the wind against the fortress walls. I stood this time, atop the ledge, my gaze fixed on the approaching chaos below. Darius, yes, the self-proclaimed Alpha, cowardly stood at the head, his wolves snarling and pacing like enraged demons that he was.Very pathetic sight to behold. "Darius!" I called, my voice echoing with authority across the battlefield. "You've come this far, crossing my land, I will warn you for the last time, go back. Our do you really want to show everyone how desperate you are at fooling around? Or is it to show Octavia how pathetic you've become lately?" His head snapped up, I knew I had provoked something in him, his bright eyes locked on mine. Even from this distance I could feel the intensity of his rage, in readiness to tear apart anything it encountes. "This is but your last chance, Ryker!" he shouted, his voice carr
Chapter SevenDARIU'S POVThe pack was restless. They hadn’t been like this before, not until now. Not until I ordered them to move out. There were whispers, glances exchanged when they thought I wasn’t watching. As if I didn’t see the hesitation in their steps, the questions in their eyes.“You think I’m wrong?” My voice snapped through the air, silencing the low hum of murmurs. I stood in the center of the hall, my gaze moving across the room.“No, Alpha,” one of the senior wolves said, his voice flat but not confident. It wasn’t defiance, but it wasn’t loyalty either.“Then act like it,” I growled. My fists clenched at my sides, and my jaw felt tight. “We move now. Ryker thinks he can hide her. He thinks he can hide *my son.* You all heard what Veronica said. He’s mine. Octavia’s betrayal is mine to handle, not his.”The senior wolf stepped forward, his brow furrowed. "Alpha, forgive me, but is this… wise? Marching into another Alpha’s territory? What if this starts…"“What?” I int
Chapter Six The Calm Before the StormOCTAVIA'S POVRyker's pack lands were unlike Darius's... less suffocating, more open. The rolling hills and thick forests extended as far as I could see, a sharp contrast to the cold stone walls I had previously called home. But even here, under the clear skies, I couldn't shake off the burden of what had occurred.I sat on the porch of the estate, the gentle breeze brushing against my skin as I observed the children playing in the yard. My son was among them, his laughter bright and carefree. He was full of life, so blissfully oblivious to the chaos around us.My thoughts drifted back to last night, the fight, the chaos that broke out in the council chamber. But it was Richard's calm, firm words that penetrated the disorder.“ Ryker, take her and go. Now. Before this escalates more.”The look in Darius's eyes as they met mine, wild and enraged. His last words, his voice was a low growl, raw with betrayal.“You think this is over?”I know he will co
Chapter Five: The Secrets BelowDARIUS'S POVThe council chamber was filled with tension. My knuckles ached, a reminder of the fight that had almost spiraled out of control.Councilman Richard's voice broke the silence, clear and firm. “You have gone too far, Alpha,” he said, his tone full of disapproval. “This is not how disputes are resolved. Not here.”I tightened my fists, pacing the room like an animal in a cage. The memory of Veronica's revelation burned in my thoughts, fueling the fire of betrayal and fury. My child. Ryker had known the whole time.“He betrayed me,” I grewled, glaring at Richard.“He hid her. He...” “Enough.” Richard's voice snapped like a whip.“ This is no longer about personal issues. The pack's stability is at risk, and you are on the brink of chaos.”I paused, meeting his stare with a defiance that simmered beneath my surface.“And what do you suggest we do? Allow him to take what's mine?”Richard's face hardened. “The council will discuss it. Until then,
Chapter Four: The Sound of RetaliationOCTAVIA'S POVRyker's hand remained firmly on my back as he led me through the room. I walked on normally, even though I could feel Darius's gaze piercing me. It was almost funny to see him struggle with whatever turmoil was happening inside him. I didn't look back again. I wouldn't give him the satisfaction of seeing me doubt myself.The council members were spread out, speaking in low voices, yet I could sense their looks. Whispers trailed behind us, curiosity buzzing like insects. They didn't know me, but they recognized Darius, and they recognized Ryker. Seeing me with one and facing the other must have sparked the type of gossip they thrived on.When we arrived at the other end of the room, Ryker leaned in, speaking softly.“You're doing great.” “Did you think I wouldn't?” I replied just as quietly, my tone sharp. He smirked.“Not at all. It's just...entertaining, that's all.” I turned to him, forcing a polite smile. “Good. I wouldn't wan
OCTAVIA'S POV"I told you to stop trying to escape," he growled, his deep voice making me shiver . I struggled to control my fear, tears rolling down my cheeks as my body shook vigorously. I remained on all fours, too scared to lift my head and make eye contact with him. "I... I... I... I am... so... sorry," I stammered, my body shuddering. He rose from his chair and casually walked towards me, bending down close to my level. Him being this close to me terrified me the most. I didn't want him this close; he was a sadistic psychopath who did whatever he pleased with me. Sometimes he cared for me, and other times he put me through so much hell I couldn't endure it. "Raise your head, Octavia," he commanded. I didn't want to, but I knew he hated repeating himself. Disobedience would only lead to more punishment.With shaking hands and a shaking head, I slowly lifted my eyes to meet his eyes, trying my best to control my fear as he smiled slightly, looking at me. He reached for my h...
