All Chapters of SINFUL BOND: MATED TO THE CRUEL ALPHA : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

CHAPTER 11: Nightmare Hana gasped as she thrashed about on her bed, with her mind caught up in the labyrinthine corridors of her memory.Hana was back home where it was safe and sound; a small but sturdy wooden cabin located right at the heart of her pack’s territory. The smell of pine and soil filled Hana’s nostrils; the forest itself seemed to be whispering to her. Her mother would be humming softly as she cooked dinner with the rhythmical chopping of vegetables. Around that time, Hana remembers her father’s deep voice booming from inside their meeting room during a talk with other elders.The air suddenly turned cold and Hana felt an uncomfortable shiver run down her back. She went outside and looked around, scanning all along the tree line. There was an eerie silence that fell over the serene forest which now seemed to hold its breath for some reason. Her heartbeat pounded in her chest when she heard a low growl from amongst the shadows.Without any response chaos broke out. Sh

CHAPTER 13: Unwavering Determination Jarrel was a monster in every sense of the word, a man with no compass in his heart who loved to cause people pain just for the sake of it. She wanted to know what really happened to him to become like this but she rejected the negative train of thought. The details of how they turned him into a monster did not matter and all that mattered was that he had inflicted a lot of pain. She tried to think of the Moon Goddess and why she had let such suffering happen in the world. Had the Goddess sent Jarrel to inflict pain on people, to suffer? Will Hana ever find it? Or is there a bigger picture that is hidden in her eyes? The questions ran through her mind and the set of them raised her increasingly uneasy feelings. Hana started to think about her own position now too. She found herself living in this kind of hell where she was a mate to a man who was known to be a brute and a cruel one at that. Nothing would change the fact that she needed to sur

CHAPTER 15: Shadows of VengeanceHana woke up hearing the terrible shuffling sounds of metals against stones that were reverberating through the dark hallway of her room. She sprang up in an upright posture, with an intuition for disaster hammering heavily in her heart. In no time at all, there was a loud bang at her door and Mia, stepped in looking so frightened or as though she had seen something alarming."My lady," Mia whispered urgently, "the Alpha commands your presence in the hall immediately."Hana's blood ran cold. She had learned to dread Jarrel's summons, each one more cruel than the last. She quickly dressed and followed Mia through the dimly lit hallways, her mind racing with terrible possibilities.The tremors in the low murmurs of the pack members inside the hall grew louder as Hana got closer. The big doors snapped open, and an almost audible gasp escaped her lips as she stared at the grand hall in front of her.The nanny who had been a motherly figure to her since ch

Chapter 17: Threads of DeceptionThat night, when she got into bed, Hana was full of thoughts. She needed to be cautious and wait for the right time. Jarrel was strong and dangerous, but with Wolfsbane, she would finally have a chance to stop his reign of terror.She closed her eyes, thinking of his face, how cruel his mouth seemed as he ordered the nanny’s death. This picture made her more determined than ever. It was clear that she would win.Her patience and bravery were tested to the core in the subsequent days. Hana went to perform her role by interacting with the pack members in an endeavor to win their trust, although she had other hidden motives. She kept the wolfsbane hidden in her quarters, waiting for the right moment to strike.Finally, the day came when the man returned with the wolfsbane. Hana took it, her hands trembling slightly as she hid it away. Now, she just needed to find the perfect opportunity.The following day, Hana was stared up with a clear and focused mind.

CHAPTER 19: Smiles Faded The atmosphere in that room was heavy with tension while Hana gazed at Mia whose face and body were pale and wasted on the bed. Her eyes, which had once been bright and warm, now looked like empty shells reflecting all much pain she was going through. The healer then asked a question that still hung in the air, “Did you consume any substance containing wolfsbane?”Hana’s heart skipped a beat. Wolfsbane? The word alone sent a jolt of fear through her. She knew the deadly herb all too well—it was the key to her plan to end Jarrel’s life. But now, the possibility that Mia had ingested it made Hana’s blood run cold.Mia shook her head weakly, too feeble to speak. The healer glanced at Hana, his expression unreadable. "Please excuse us for a while, sir," Hana managed to say, her voice barely steady."Of course, my lady," the healer replied, gathering his things. "I will use the time to prepare her medication outside." He walked out, leaving Hana alone with Mia,
