All Chapters of FATED TO A TYRANT: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

WILLA’S POVFor nearly all of my life, I had dreamed of the moment I would finally meet my fated mate. But never in my wildest imagination did I ever think I would meet him in the middle of a violent battle, fighting for opposing and irreconcilable causes.And yet… Here I was.I stood frozen in place as my hold around my daggers loosened slightly.It seemed as if the world blurred into nothing, while time took on an odd shift, moving sluggishly in slow motion. But my heart defied the seemingly slow ticking of time as it thundered in my chest, clamoring for the magnificent wolf standing in front of me.His thick pelt that was darker than the gloom of the bloody night looked unfairly silky underneath the brilliance of the waxing gibbous moon. His eyes glowed a vibrant amber, so beautiful in their depth that they almost looked like an endless pool of liquid gold.“My mate,” I called out even though I knew my voice would simply drown in the noisy din of the battle.But the wolf seemed to h

GALLAHAN’S POVMy knot had finally abated after nearly a fucking hour, and I slipped out of Willa as carefully and as quietly as I could so I wouldn’t accidentally jostle her awake. Even pulling out nearly had me moaning, my sensitive cock twitching in interest.‘I am a man with a well-functioning head. Not a beast with nothing but instincts,’ I mentally reminded myself, willing the desire to bury my traitorous cock inside her hot and welcoming channel that felt so snug around me.I had to take a slow, shuddering breath to calm myself and my inner wolf.Willa whined softly in dissatisfaction as I shifted on the bed. She rolled around, turning to face me, her eyes closed and her eyebrows furrowed.The lines between her brows eased and disappeared once she had burrowed herself against my chest. The sight of it nearly made me burst at the disgusting affection that swelled inside of me. To make matters worse for my weakening heart was the fact that the contours of her body fit so well aga

WILLA’S POVOf all people, my fated mate had to be Gallahan Wick.Was this a cruel trick? What did I do to deserve a man who, at eighteen, formed and led the Alpha King’s Culling Army to seize and loot human kingdoms, and capture, torture and subjugate innocent humans.His hands were not only tainted. They were soaked with the blood of hundreds of people, both humans and werewolves, and I had let the very same hands hold me so intimately.Guilt roared to life inside my chest all of a sudden, clawing at my lungs and heart. I felt like I had betrayed those who had entrusted the League of the Moon to fight the tyrannical regime of the Alpha King and his son.I knew I already did when I turned my back on my comrades in the middle of battle. But this was a whole different story, a different kind of betrayal.Gallahan was the real enemy. He wasn’t just a mere soldier of this war. Gallahan himself had led the crusade against humans, even fighting his own kind who couldn’t stomach his ideologi

WILLA’S POVI never knew I could still be grounded at my grand age of twenty-one. But here I was, sequestered in my room for my negligence during the battle in the Ferndell Forest and for not coming back sooner than I should’ve.But I actually had no qualms about the punishment dealt to me, because it allowed me the quiet time alone to muse on my time with Gallahan and to sort myself out before having to face other people.The solitary quiet stretched for almost three weeks when a patterned knock—one that my twin and I made at the age of eight to let each other know it was us on the other side of the door—disturbed my pathetic wallowing on my bed. The door then slightly opened without my permission, and William poked his head in.“May I come in, dear little sis?

WILLA’S POVMy heart nearly leapt to my throat as I heard what Brandon had said.A missive from Gallahan.A million possibilities flashed in my mind one after another.Was he looking for me?Was he trying to win me back?Was he declaring to formally court me?Or was he simply baiting me?Was he trying to use our connection as fated mates to manipulate me or gain an upper hand in the war?I swallowed thickly as I tried to remain as calm as possible, fully intent not to let myself show even a sliver of my inner turmoil.
