All Chapters of Bloodbound: The Lycan's Claim: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

. Ironhaven Asylum. "Your blood will make me stronger and the most powerful in the lycan world," his voice echoed relentlessly in her mind, like a chilling reminder of her fate.Valtor’s icy blue eyes locked onto hers, glowing with an intensity that sent a shiver down her spine. "You're mine! No matter how hard you try, you can never escape me, Gaia." His voice was low, but it held an authority that shook her resolve.Gaia squeezed her eyes shut, as if by doing so, she could block out the sight of him and the unsettling world she was trapped in.This place was unlike anything she had known, the forest stretched forever in all directions, trees with grass-like bark, and leaves that had sharp teeth. Shadows in this place didn't stay still. They slithered along the ground, their shapes shifting into things that shouldn't exist. Here, Gaia could understand the language of animals and speak to humans with claws like those of wild predators. It was a world she never wanted to experience

Gaia’s body hit the ground with a soft thud, her eyes fluttering shut as she lay motionless at Valtor’s feet. He barely spared her a glance, his attention already on the man stepping forward from the shadows—a figure almost as tall and imposing as Valtor himself, with a hardened glare that spoke of countless battles.“Well, well, Valtor,” the man sneered, circling slowly. “Never thought I’d see the day you'd stoop to guarding a mere human. Or is she?”Valtor’s lips twisted into a dangerous smirk, his eyes gleaming with a cold, lethal light. “You speak as if you understand the stakes here,” he replied, his voice dripping with contempt. “But I wouldn’t expect a half-breed like you to understand loyalty.”The man let out a low growl, his fists clenching. “Loyalty? Is that what you call it?” He laughed bitterly. “Or are you just afraid? Afraid of what I could do if I take her from you?”Valtor’s form shuddered, beginning to shift, his claws lengthening as his features took on a more feral

Valtor stepped into the dimly lit room, his presence commanding yet cautious. Gaia was sitting up on the bed, her eyes wide with confusion and a touch of fear. Damon lingered by the door, silently observing their interaction, while occasionally glancing at Valtor’s still-throbbing wound.Gaia lay on the simple bed, her eyes half-closed, but the moment Valtor entered, she stirred. The air around her seemed to hum with a faint energy, causing Valtor to pause for a moment, feeling the hair on the back of his neck stand on end.Gaia’s gaze locked onto Valtor as he approached, her voice hoarse but firm. “What do you want from me?” she demanded, her fists clenching around the bed sheets.Valtor raised his hands i, chuckling softly. “Whoa... stay calm,” he replied, his tone steady and measured. “I don’t mean any harm. You’re safe here.”“Safe?” Gaia scoffed, her eyes narrowing with suspicion. “You dragged me into your world, into your battles, and now you expect me to believe I’m safe? After

Dreadfall Citadel.“You’ve arrived… faster than I expected,” the man said, his deep voice eerily calm.The air was heavy, dense with mist that clung to Gaia’s skin. She glanced around, disoriented. The last thing she remembered was the void consuming her. Now, she stood in a strange land—twisted, lifeless trees stretched upward like skeletal fingers, and the ground beneath her feet pulsed faintly, as if it were alive.“Where am I?” she muttered, her voice trembling as her breath filled the air.“Lost, are we?” A low chuckle echoed behind her, sending a shiver down her spine. She spun around, her heart hammering in her chest. Emerging from the swirling mist was a figure cloaked in black, his glowing amber eyes locking onto hers.Gaia took a cautious step back, her fists clenched. “You again? What do you want from me?”The man tilted his head slightly, a faint smirk playing on his lips. “I am Caelum,” he said, his tone almost mocking, “a watcher, a guide, perhaps even a foe. That depend

The world was a haze when Valtor’s eyes fluttered open. Pain pulsed through his body, dull yet persistent, as if his very blood had been set on fire. He groaned, his hand unconsciously moving to his side, where the wounds should have been. Instead, his skin was smooth, its earlier ugly sides gone.“What the—” he muttered, his voice hoarse. Memories of Gaia flashed through his mind, her tears, her blood spilling onto his injuries, and then…darkness.“Gaia,” he muttered, panic forming in his chest as he pushed himself into a sitting position. The world around him spun, but he fought against the dizziness, reaching for the floor to steady himself. The bed felt too empty.Where is she?A rush of adrenaline sent him to his feet. His body swayed, but he quickly managed to compose himself, staggering toward the door. His hand gripped the handle, and he pulled it open with force.“Where is she?!” Valtor demanded, his voice sharp and commanding.Damon, his Beta, stood in the doorway, eyes wide
