All Chapters of Betrayed Bonds: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Kiana- I was lying in bed, and the soft light in the room took me to a dream world where the past came back to me like a vivid memory. I was standing in front of the packed school's enormous gates as a five-year-old. My platinum blonde hair was in ringlets around my face, and my eyes were a strange shade of purple.I saw the scene play out. Before I went into the schoolyard, I paused. My small hand held the strap of my backpack. The sound of laughter filled the air. But the laughter turned to whispers when the other kids saw me as the new kid who looked different."Look at her hair! Is it even real?" One child sneered, triggering giggles from the others.I felt a knot tighten in my stomach, trying to shrink away from the prying eyes. The teasing continued, making me feel even more self-conscious. I took a deep breath, reminding myself that I was strong and unique. That's what Mum told me. "Hey, purple eyes! Are you a vampire?"Another child called out, causing the laughter to escal

Lucas -From the edges, I watched Kiana fight against her opponent with a mix of interest and disappointment. She wasn't as graceful as a trained fighter, and every move she made showed that she wasn't good at fighting. Even my beta, James, who is always quick with a sharp statement, couldn't help but say something about how badly she did."She's such a hopeless amateur," my beta scoffed, a tone of mockery colouring their words.Even though I knew Kiana wasn't very good at fighting, seeing how weak she was shocked me. It was time to put a hunch I had had for a while before the test. My strongest fighter was told to step forward and fight Kiana with a subtle signal. James raised an eyebrow and seemed to doubt my choice, but I gave him a confident nod.As the warrior closed in on Kiana, her struggles became more pronounced. Her attempts at defence seemed feeble, and it was almost painful to watch. I remained composed; however, my eyes focused on the unfolding drama. This was a crucial m

In the Storm Pack, Alessia found herself the target of Dion's anger.It all started when Dion summoned Alessia to his office. The air was thick with tension as Alessia entered, her usual air of confidence momentarily shaken.Dion fixed her with a stern gaze. "Alessia, why haven't you ordered the pack's school equipment?"Alessia struggled to find her words as she stumbled like a cat in an unexpected downpour. "Equipment, huh? I did not know that was my responsibility."Dion's irritation was palpable. He leant forward, his eyes narrowing. "Alessia, take your duties seriously. I don't want to be bothered about the pack's daily affairs.""I will take care of it, my alpha." She said it with forced tears in her eyes. "I am trying my best, Dion. It's difficult."Dion looked more annoyed. "I understand it may not be easy, Alessia, but as a deputy, Luna, you must learn to handle your responsibilities efficiently. The pack relies on you to ensure everything runs smoothly."Alessia's frustratio

Lucas - As I watched Kiana depart for her room, a smirk played on my lips. How long, I wondered, would she continue this charade? I reached for my phone, dialing the number of my beta."James," I greeted as the call connected, "I need you to find out why Dion's men are in Springdale. Something doesn't add up, and I want to know what's really going on."James, well aware of my intuition, replied, "Sure thing, Lucas. I'll get on it right away. Are there any specific leads or just a general enquiry?"I lean back, pondering the possibilities. "I don't want to draw unnecessary attention; just find out what they have been up to."When James arrived at my office, his voice was filled with urgency."Lucas, you won't believe what I found. Dion's men are indeed in Springdale, but they're not here for a routine mission. They are actively searching for someone."My instincts sharpened. "Who are they looking for?""It seems they're hunting for a woman named Kiana. Looks like Dion's mate left him,

Kiana - I turned away from Lucas and walked towards the pack house; that was until I collided headfirst with Meg and Mara."Hey there, escapist!" Meg greeted me with a grin that hinted she was drunk.I was surprised, so I tried to muster up a convincing excuse. "I am just tired.""Leaving so soon? Nonsense! The actual party is just getting started," Mara declared."And you can't leave without a proper send-off!" Meg chimed in, mischief dancing in her intoxicated eyes.Meg leant in as if she were telling the party's biggest secret when she seemed sober despite being drunk. "Anya, sweetie, you can't leave without trying the pièce de résistance—our very own world-famous, special brew!""Lucas already told me about it." "Good, then you should at least try it.""Oh, no! No drinks, please." I shook my head, holding up my hands in protest. "It's not too strong, I swear." She slurred."Yeah, I can see that." I rolled my eyes.Meg's intoxicated eyes sparkled with excitement as she insisted,
