Mari’s voice trailed off as she finished recounting the harrowing tale. I sat there, stunned, trying to process everything I had just heard. The thought of someone enduring such pain, especially someone who seemed as strong and composed as Larose, was unimaginable. And poor little Carol, carrying such a heavy burden of trauma at such a young age.
It's so easy to judge sometimes, especially when we know nothing about a person's life or their experience.
I never could have guessed that Larose had suffered abuse from her mate. The dude almost tried to kill her! Imagining something like that feels scary on so many levels but it's so sad that it's her reality.
It's no wonder she's seemed so cold and distant, it must be very hard for her to trust with all she's been through. I understand her protectiveness towards Carol perfectly. I hate that I couldn't protect Celio more, I wish for a do over more than anything……

Rion's POVJinu had shown up just as Luna Daryna had said. I honestly didn't think he would follow me all the way to this Pack but I guess some people truly are shameless.But with Jas’s impending treatment, I didn't have any time to spare for him so as soon as he arrived at the Blue Solstice palace with my parents, I had my parents settled in while he was taken straight to prison.I've spent most of the week taking care of Jaselyn and making sure she recovers completely. When I'm not with her, I'm with Luna Daryna or I'm resting.Luna Daryna is working as the Alpha's proxy so she has the Beta to assist her but I like to contribute where I can given that I was Zane’s Beta for 6 years.I'm doing it because Luna Daryna was there for me in my time of need and I have to repay her somehow.She seems to really appreciate the help and has put me in charge of a few Pack matters despite the fact that I just arrived.I get the feeli

Rion's POVA tear rolled down his cheek.“.... That's…. That's not the only reason why I left. Something's happening in the Black Moon Pack, something really big. Alpha Zane hasn't made an appearance since his return and Isla seems to have taken control, she's ordering everyone around. The atmosphere in the palace is tense, foreboding.I've heard whispers from the maids. There was a rumor going on that Alpha Ezra was coming to the Pack to take over.It was just very scary. With Jaselyn gone, the Alpha inactive for goddess knows why, Isla and that cousin of hers, Hadrian controlling the palace, I knew everything was bound to go to hell so I fled as soon as I got the chance.I approached the remaining visitors from Blue Solstice and convinced them to bring me here along with your parents.I know you hate me and…..”My grip on his collar loosened and I stepped backwards in shock.

Jaselyn's POVThe door to my room opened and Rion walked in.“Have you had your lunch yet?” He asked as he took a seat beside me on the bed.“Yeah. What about you?”“I haven't had the chance to eat anything yet. I've been busy with a few things.”“That's no excuse. How can you be so worried about me all the time but you neglect your own health? That won't do.” I scolded.“You're right, I'll try to focus more on my health.” He asserted.“You really think I'm going to let you off just like that?” I say and get off the bed, taking his hand and pulling him upwards.He stands up and I direct him out of the room. He seems confused but lets me lead him.“Where are we going? You should be in your room resting.” He finally speaks.“How many times do I have to say that I'm fine. I really am feeling OK. It's my turn to take

Jaselyn's POV“Are you sure about this? I could just have a maid prepare it. You might have trouble finding a few things.” He proposed.“Don't worry, I'll figure it out. Just have a little faith in me.” I maintained and that seemed to cease any other protest he might have had.“Fine, I'll let you handle it.” He threw his hands up in mock surrender and I rolled my eyes.“What would you like to have?”“I'm not picky with food. Anything's fine as long as it's edible and it's filling.” He tossed out.I had not expected such a vague reply.“So basically, you want me to decide.”“Yeah. You're cooking for me for the first time and I trust your choice. Surprise me.” He winked and my stomach did that twisting thing again.Damn this bond, making me sensitive and coaxing these reactions from me. I need to focus on what I'm going to

Jaselyn's POVWhy? Why is this coming up now? I'm trying to forget him, I really am…..but I can't help it. I want to know what was so important that Rion had to bring him up. Even though I won't admit it out loud, I really hope that Zane is alright.I try to steady my voice as I speak, willing my fingers to stop trembling and just grip the damn spatula properly as I continue stirring, trying to act as unbothered as possible.“What about Zane?”I can feel Rion's eyes on me, he focuses his gaze on my face, as if trying to gauge my reaction as he speaks.“The brat said that before he left Black Moon, Isla and Hadrian were in charge of the Pack and there was a rumor going around that Alpha Ezra was coming to take over from Zane.And as for Zane, he suddenly isolated himself from everyone else, deciding to stay in his room and only speak to Isla.”Once again, another chill ran down my spine and my stoma

Isla's POVThe merger was successful and father's coronation happened a few days ago. But it was not without some minor disturbances. When the news was announced to the members of the Black Moon Pack, they refused to believe it and asked to see their Alpha, Zane.Of course that is out of the question so I had Blade use a little persuasion on them. Once one person was badly wounded and beaten to a pulp, the other pack members saw reason and complied.I have the entire military force of both the Black Moon and Rain Forest Packs, none of the Pack members would be able to go against me unless they had a death wish.Thus, though we had to use a little coercion, all the members of the Black Moon Pack were present for father's coronation and now everyone knows him as the supreme Alpha.There is no longer a Rain Forest or Black Moon Pack. From now on, both packs have become known collectively as the Moon Forest Pack.A lot of adjustments are s

Isla's POVThere was a knock on the door and Blade walked into the room. Talia excused herself immediately while I took a seat on the rocking chair, balancing the baby on my lap.I grabbed the bottle with the already prepared baby formula, it was still warm thankfully.I balanced the baby in my arms, cradling his head properly before proceeding to feed him from the bottle.He's a peaceful baby. He rarely cries, unless he's hungry or the “urges” come. He drank from his bottle quietly while Blade watched me intently, not speaking a word.“If you have something on your mind, you should go ahead and say it.” I prompt, not taking my eyes off the child in my lap.“You're surprisingly good at this.” He said casually and I scoffed.“He's my son. If I don't care for him, who will? Just because I destroy and betray people doesn't mean I can't be a good mother.I've always wanted to be

Jaselyn's POVSince our little moment in the kitchen, I have to admit I've been looking forward to spending more time with Rion.The doctor has finally confirmed that I'm healthy and strong enough to go back to my routine life so I'm no longer restricted to my room like a prisoner.Today is the day that Rion and I finally appear before Alpha Xyne. I feel really nervous because not only is he the Alpha of this Pack but he's Rion's father and by extension, my father in-law. And yes, I definitely feel the pressure to impress.I haven't gotten close enough with Rion's birth family, at least not as much as I would like to. Luna Daryna and I have a cordial relationship, we chat casually every now and then but there's still an air of formality.Not because she's the Luna of the Pack but because she's always busy, handling a lot of things so there's barely any chance to see her.Larose is still keeping her distance, she only sends a shor

Celio's POV The wooden floor creaked under my knees as I scrubbed away at the dirt, pushing the rag back and forth with all the strength my small, 8 year old body could muster. The chill of the mountain wind seeped through the cracks in the old walls, biting at my skin. My hands were raw and red, the rough texture of the rag scraping against my knuckles. I didn’t mind. I didn’t mind the pain, the hunger gnawing at my stomach, or the loneliness that pressed on me like an iron weight. I was used to it.I glanced out the cracked window at the gray sky that mirrored my feelings. The little shack we lived in sat at the base of the mountain, far away from any Pack. Isla had always told me that it was better this way—away from the people who would look at me and know that I wasn’t wanted, that I was abandoned by the very woman who should have loved me most.“Your mother didn’t want you, Celio,” Isla would say, her voice sharp and filled with disdain. “She threw you away like you were nothing

Luka's POV The day started out like any other. Mika, Sawyer, and I were playing in the woods behind the palace, chasing each other through the trees, our laughter echoing in the air. At seven years old, we were pretending to be fierce wolves on a hunt, leaping over fallen logs and dodging branches. It was perfect, like it always was when we were together.But then everything changed in an instant.I heard the thud first—a sound so sharp and heavy that it made my heart skip a beat. I stopped and turned around, the world seeming to move in slow motion as I saw Mika crumple to the ground, his face twisted in pain.“Mika!” I shouted, racing back to him. The sight that met me made my stomach lurch. His leg was twisted at an odd angle, and there was blood—so much blood—pouring out of a long, deep gash along his shin. It covered the grass, bright and red, and kept coming. I couldn’t breathe.Sawyer came running up, her eyes huge and frightened as she saw the blood. “Luka, what happened?” sh

Jaselyn's POV I took his hand, and he pulled me close, holding me from behind as we swayed gently to the music. His lips brushed my ear as he whispered, “You’re beautiful, you know that? Even after everything, you’re still the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen. And I’m the luckiest man alive to have you.”Tears pricked my eyes, but they weren’t tears of sadness this time. They were tears of happiness, of gratitude. “Rion… you don’t know how much that means to me.”He kissed my neck softly. “You mean everything to me, Jas.”Suddenly, the music stopped, and a projector flickered on. I turned to see a slideshow of pictures—our memories together. Photos of us when we first arrived at the Pack, a few of the whole family, some from the day of our mating ceremony, which also doubled with the coronation, pictures of us as Alpha and Luna at a few events, including one of us at the Peace Ball. Pictures of me with the twins when they were born and finally, pictures of us with Luka and Mika. I
Cruel Fate: Chained To The Alpha Side Story 1
Jaselyn’s POVExhausted didn’t even begin to cover how I felt. I was beyond it. No, it was more like EXHAUSTED in capital letters, underlined and bold. It had been a few days since Luka and Mika were born, and though I’d prepared myself for the sleepless nights and constant feeding, nothing could have readied me for the complete overwhelm of being a new mother to two newborns at the same time. Rion helped as much as he could. He was always there, doing everything in his power to make things easier for me. But there was only so much even he could do. There were things I had to handle myself—breastfeeding, comforting them when they both decided to cry at the same time, managing the constant pain in my body that hadn’t fully recovered from the trauma of childbirth.Luka was a good feeder. He latched on almost immediately, eager to nurse, but Mika wasn’t doing as well. He struggled with breastfeeding, and that meant more time spent trying to get him to eat, more time stressing about whet
Cruel Fate: Chained To The Alpha Chapter 258
Jaselyn's POVFive years have passed since the birth of our twin boys.And in those years, Luka and Mika had grown into mischievous, spirited children who constantly kept me on my toes. They were inseparable, their bond unbreakable, and they moved through life with a shared sense of curiosity and adventure.Completely identical, they inherited the dominant Solstice genes with their ebony black hair, deep green eyes, and strikingly beautiful features. They were so similar in appearance that even their grandmother couldn’t tell them apart.Only Rion and I could tell which was Luka and which was Mika, and the boys often used this to their advantage, tricking everyone around them. But when they weren’t up to mischief, they were the sweetest children imaginable—kind, considerate, and always eager to bring a smile to my face.They were the best of friends, always looking out for each other. If one fell ill,

Rion's POV“That’s it, Luna,” the midwife encouraged. “The hardest part is over. Just one more push, and we’ll have him out.”Jaselyn nodded weakly, her face pale and slick with sweat. She gritted her teeth, her whole body trembling as she summoned the last of her strength. With a final, desperate scream, she pushed again, her body arching off the bed as she bore down with everything she had left.The baby slipped free with a gush of fluid and blood, his tiny body wriggling and slick in the midwife’s hands. “It’s a boy!” she announced, holding him up for us to see, his loud, piercing cries filling the room.My heart swelled with emotion as I gazed at our son, his tiny face scrunched up in a wail, his fists clenched and shaking. Tears blurred my vision as I looked at Jaselyn. “He’s beautiful,” I choked out, my voice thick with emotion. “Jas, you did it. You gave us a
Cruel Fate: Chained To The Alpha Chapter 256
Rion's POVI slammed my fist against the desk, sending papers flying. The frustration had been building for months, and now it was boiling over. "Dammit!" I cursed, pacing the room in a futile attempt to calm myself. We had conquered the Rain Forest Pack with ease, but it had been a hollow victory. Hadrian, that fool, had chosen to die rather than betray his cousin, Isla. He'd poisoned himself before we could get any information out of him. Another dead end.The Fishers were a twisted bunch. Part of me relished the thought of wiping them out for good, to rid the world of their poison. Isla had slipped through our fingers, and I was beginning to fear we’d never find her. If I could only get my hands on her, I would make her pay for taking Celio. She would wish she had never been born.Blade had been another disappointment, another dead end in our search for Celio. We had pushed him to his absolute limits, hoping that the pain and pressure would force

Jaselyn's POV“Maybe we could…shower together?” I suggested hesitantly. “It might help me relax.”Rion smiled softly, his eyes filled with understanding. “That sounds like a great idea. Come on, let’s get cleaned up.”We both undressed completely, and I followed him into the bathroom. He turned on the shower, adjusting the water temperature until it was just right, then we stepped under the warm spray together.The water cascaded over us, washing away the tension and the grime from the day. Rion wrapped his arms around me from behind, holding me close as the water streamed down our bodies. I leaned back against him, feeling the steady beat of his heart against my back. His touch was gentle, his hands moving over my skin with care, never lingering too long in one place.He washed my hair, his fingers massaging my scalp in slow, soothing circles. I closed my eyes, letting myself relax under
Cruel Fate: Chained To The Alpha Chapter 254
Jaselyn's POVI agreed to see Nae, but only because I needed to know if she could give me any information about where Isla might have taken Celio. It was my only lead, and I wasn’t about to let it slip through my fingers, no matter how much I despised Nae.Before heading to see her, I turned to Rion. His clothes were torn and stained with dirt and blood from the battle. He looked tired, and I could see the weariness in his eyes despite his usual confident stance. He needed rest, and he needed to be taken care of. After everything he had done for me, it was the least I could do for him.“Come with me,” I said softly, taking his hand. I led him back to our bedroom, feeling a mixture of nerves and determination. “Rion, I want our lives to go back to normal,” I began, my voice wavering slightly. “I want to feel close to you again.”He looked at me with a mix of surprise and concern. “Jas, you don’t h
