All Chapters of Bound by Loyalty, Torn by Fate: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

“Right, ladies!” Serena called out. “Our Luna needs you out on patrol tonight, so report anything suspicious, anyone you don’t recognise.” Lucille sat back in her armchair, pinching the bridge of her nose as the beginnings of a headache tickled at the edges of her mind. “Luna, if you need to rest, I can handle things from here,” Serena suggested, her tone laced with concern. She sat at her Luna’s feet, her eyes flicking from Lucille’s gaze to the fresh mark on her shoulder and the surrounding bruises. Lucille placed a gentle finger under her friend’s chin, offering a subtle smile. I’m fine, she told her through the mind-link.The mind-link was a powerful tool within packs, enabling them to communicate telepathically, keeping conversations private and secure. Typically, rogues forfeited this ability, as it required the close-knit connection of a pack, which most rogues lacked as stray wolves roaming alone. Another benefit to the wolves in her pack thanks to Joseph bringing them togethe

The moment they stepped into rogue territory, Zach’s skin prickled with unease. There was something unsettling about this place—the volatile, untamed scent of wolves who lived outside the laws of the packs. It was wild and chaotic, a direct challenge to everything he stood for. His instincts bristled, his wolf pacing restlessly beneath the surface. He hated rogues.Wolves who couldn’t follow pack law or submit to a hierarchy were banished, deemed too dangerous to remain. Stripped of community, they often nursed bruised egos and burning resentment, driven to prove they were stronger without the order of a pack. It often led to sporadic attacks on established packs—his included.That’s how he’d lost his mother.The memory was like a fresh wound, even after all these years. A rogue raid had swept through their borders, leaving devastation in its wake. His mother had laid down her life to protect the pack, fighting until her last breath. By the time Zach and his father had reached her, it

He couldn’t tear his eyes away from her. If this was what it felt like just dancing with the female, what would it feel like to have her in his bed, screaming his name? She truly was intoxicating, and he couldn’t help his arousal when he saw that she was leading them somewhere more private. The two minutes it took for her to lead Zach out the back felt too long, and it took all his willpower not to tear off her dress and take her then and there. But no, he wanted to savour this. The minute the door to the room clicked shut, he was on her. His lips hungrily ravished her own, his tongue desperate to taste every inch of her mouth. She wrapped her arms around his neck, her hands tangling in his hair, pulling him closer.She wrapped her leg around him, the split of her dress exposing her skin, allowing Zach to slide his hand under the fabric and reach around to grab her behind, his fingers digging in as he pulled her hips into him, grinding the bulge in his jeans against her. She let out a

As Lucille reached the door to Joseph’s room, the handle turned, and out stepped Cacey. Lucille rolled her eyes at the testosterone-filled male.“Ah, Lucille. Alpha was just about to request that you come and report to him. Perfect timing,” he smiled, though it didn’t reach the coldness and hatred shown in his eyes.“Yes, well, I first had to gather everything from my girls. I didn’t want to report to Joseph without all the information; that would be silly for anyone to do,” she replied coolly, a fake smile fixed on her face.“Of course, Luna. I’ve already told him that you saw to one of the intruders personally. You are very dedicated to your work.”“Everything I do is to protect my pack and serve our Alpha.”“How… loyal of you, my Luna. I just hope Alpha sees it that way,” he retorted, walking away from her. Goddess, that wolf made her skin crawl. He’d had it out for her since they first met. Joseph had always told her how Cacey occasionally mentioned that he’d love to have her in h

It had been a few days since the night with the intruders, and luckily for Lucille, Joseph had been busy in discussions with different packs, trying to get his pack officially recognised and form alliances. This meant she was left to get on with her own work, and the she-wolves were able to rest easy. Itching for fresh air, she decided to take a walk through the woods that circled the border of her pack. She pulled at the choker around her neck, attempting to alleviate an itch. The ground was uneven, a mixture of debris from the trees above and rocks, which caused her to slip and fall. Sitting on the ground, she let out a huff. Her body ached to shift, to run as her wolf between the trees, feeling wild and free. Yet she knew Joseph would not allow it. Closing her eyes, she tilted her face up to the sky, letting herself feel immersed in her surroundings. The breeze blew through her chestnut hair, carrying with it the smell of pine and earth. Goddess, what do you have in store for me? s
