Between A Fated Bond And Curses
Vaelora “Elyndra” Rhydian is the last of a broken bloodline, the cursed heir of NightMoor’s fallen Beta family.
Orphaned by war, suffering from horrible PTSD from being raised by an abusive stepfather, and haunted by a wolf that won't fully awaken, her life has been nothing but loss. At 22, she still can’t complete her transformation. Each attempt nearly kills her.
Plagued by nightmares and a mysterious voice inside her, she searches for answers, and her mate.
But when she finally finds him at the Moon Festival, it’s not salvation that greets her.
It’s rejection.
Zarek Vortan Blackmoor, the feared Alpha of the NightMoor Pack, is cold, brutal, and cursed, just like her.
Believing he doesn't have a mate and unworthy of love, he’s prepared to marry another. But fate intervenes.
When Zarek discovers Vaelora is his fated mate, the one woman who could unravel his most dangerous secret, he rejects her in front of the entire pack.
But destiny isn't so easily defied.
When Vaelora offers him a deal that could save them both, they’re forced into a reluctant alliance; one built on secrets, betrayal, and a bond neither of them can sever.
He’s the Alpha cursed to fall.
She's Luna, destined to rise.
Will pride, pain, and prophecy tear them apart, or can they heal each other before darkness consumes them both?

Chapter: Chapter Fourteen: Stranger In DistressChapter Fourteen Vaelora's POV I take a step back with shaky breaths as he stares at me with glowing red eyes.“Zarek.” I call out in a low tone, trying to look away but can't.He blinks and when he opens his eyes, the red is gone, just like it never came.He looks aways, his jaw clenching as he balls his hands into fists.My entire body is shaking with fear, my eyes never straying away from him. Flashes of the wolf in the woods chasing floods my mind but I blink it away, still fixating on him.“What are you talking about?” He questions without looking into my eyes.With a swallow, I clear my throat and bite hard on my bottom lip before speaking.“Make a deal with me. One that'll be a convenience to us, including your father.”He doesn't say a word but his eyes are back on me and this time, I long to touch him. To hold him and stay in his arms for as long as I deem fit but that might probably get me killed right now.“Go on.” I shake my head. “I'll only tell you if you promise to a

Chapter: Chapter Thirteen: Striking A DealChapter Thirteen Vaelora's POV My lips are parted in shock as we both stare at each other, words unable to come out.He doesn't blink and the silver in his eyes are beginning to swirl around and I think I see a glint of gold in them.“H-How is that even possible?”He shrugs and finally looks away, his jaw clenching even harder. I swallow but I don't take my eyes off him.“I guess I heard your friend call after you when you ran out?”Blood rushes to my cheeks and I dig my fingers into my palm, embarrassment clothing me heavily. No way he saw me running out.“So why?” I ask, my head dropping down to my chest again. “Why did you choose someone else when you felt it?”“I love her.”In that moment, my heart stops beating and I don't know if it ever will again. His words are clear and uncut, sharp as a sword piercing through the very organ that pumps blood into my body and draining it whole.Tears pool at the corners of my eyes, my fingers pressing even deeper into my palm and drawing blo

Chapter: Chapter Twelve: I’ve Always Known Your NameChapter Twelve Vaelora's POV The chilling aura of the mansion sweeps into my vein as we arrive at the gate.I hesitate for a second, daring to look up at their cathedral-like building before letting my gaze settle on Ashton who looks like he's having a hard time understanding why this house is in the middle of nowhere.“Are you sure this is where you want me to drop you off? It doesn't….look safe, Vaelora.” He turns to look at me, worry etched on his forehead.I give him a small smile. “ It is, Ashton. And thank you for looking out for me but I think you need to head back now before it gets late.”“I can wait and drive you back home. It's no trouble at all.”“I know, but I'll be fine by myself, trust me.” I press, slightly uncomfortable with his insistence.He nods. “Give me a call once you're ready to leave, okay? I'm worried about you.”I bob my head forward and pick up my bag, stepping out of the car with shudders of anxiety.As I walk to the gate, I turn back around and watch As

Chapter: Chapter Eleven: Risky RoadsChapter ElevenVaelora's POVI'm burning with rage as I sign the bail papers before handing it over to the Inspector who's looking at me with pity in her eyes.I turn to Micheal who's half asleep on the wooden chair and tap him roughly on the shoulder.“I think you should head home now, Micheal.” I say politely but it's taking everything in me not to punch him in the face right now.There's a bit of drool on the corner of his mouth and as much as I'd like to wipe it off him with a blow to the gut, I ignore it and thank the officer before heading out of the station with Micheal strolling behind me.“You can't even give me a helping hand, you fucker.” He fumes but I ignore him again, calling on a taxi and handing him my address as I hop in the front seat.Micheal enters the back and hiccups. I close my eyes and pinch the bridge of my nose in frustration as I hope that he doesn't throw up in the car.The ride to the house is silent with only Michael's soft snores disrupting the peace in

Chapter: Chapter Ten: Gateway To HellChapter TenVaelora's POV Maya's hands are cold as she fumes to the door with me calmly following behind her.I swear, she is scary sometimes.She turns around to glare at me before opening the door wide enough for me to enter.I swallow hard as she bangs the door shut and gestures for me to sit at the last booth in the cafe, walking ahead to order drinks for us.Whatever she's doing, I know that she's really upset and I'm the cause.I shouldn't have told her about Zarek. Gosh, I'm stupid sometimes.“It feels like taking my man but I don't even know why I'm so angry.” She spits as she walks over to the table and takes a seat opposite me, passing me my drink.It's freezing cold so she got me a piping hot coffee.I take a sip and set the cup down on the table before folding my arms over my chest and exhaling.“Maya, I don't think being this angry is going to do any good.”She shoots me another glare and I look away, a snicker lodging in my throat but truthfully, I want nothing more tha

Chapter: Chapter Nine: Choosing HerChapter NineVaelora's POV My breath catches in my throat as I stumble on a big rock in front of me that I didn't notice was there.I hear the crack of bone and hiss, the sting pushing through the entirety of my legs as I push myself off the floor. Without daring to look back, I pick up the pace and race forward, slower this time.A loud bang shakes the whole forest but I don't stop, wiping furiously at the tears that's spilling from my eyes.It growls again and I cuss under my breath, ignoring Blair who's niggling at me to shift. It won't do any good for me to wait and shift while this big, black guy is chasing me with full force.He'd kill me with just one swipe to the neck.Another loud bang reverberates through the forest again and I halt, the wind suddenly so heavy that my feet begin to drag me backwards. Fear grips me and I glance back to see it staring at me with its eyes glowing red but I notice something.Those eyes…. They look familiar, like I've seen them before.Silver sp
