Moon bound to the ruthless alpha

Moon bound to the ruthless alpha

For twenty years, Anna Vale has lived with a truth she never chose: she’s the only daughter of a powerful Alpha bloodline who has never shifted. Branded weak, pitied by her pack, and haunted by the feeling that something inside her is missing, she’s learned to survive the whispers and keep her head down. Until the night everything burns. A ruthless rogue Alpha slaughters her pack, leaving behind nothing but blood, ashes, and one terrifying realization—Anna was the target all along. Her escape leads her straight into the territory of Kael Nightshade, the most feared Alpha in the werewolf world. Cold, relentless, and dangerously unreadable, Kael offers her protection, but life inside Ironfang is anything but safe. Every day becomes a battle of wills as Anna refuses to bow to an Alpha who thinks he can command her, while Kael finds himself drawn to the one woman bold enough to challenge him. Their constant clashes ignite a tension neither can ignore, and with every lingering touch and heated exchange, the line between hatred and desire grows dangerously thin. Just when Anna begins to question whether there’s more to Kael than the ruthless mask he wears, Desmond Ashford enters her life. Kind, charming, and everything Kael isn’t, he offers her comfort in the middle of chaos, forcing Anna to choose between the man who makes her feel safe and the one who sets her soul on fire. But hearts can wait. Someone is still hunting her, and the truth buried within her bloodline is powerful enough to ignite a war between wolves, witches, and every ancient force that has remained hidden for centuries.

Chapter: Chapter Seven
The rest of the world slowly faded away.The warriors surrounding us, the blood covering the ground, and the dead rogues scattered across the clearing all seemed to disappear. None of it mattered anymore.My eyes remained locked on Kael’s wolf. He looked completely lost in my gaze, as though he was seeing something that shouldn’t have been possible.Then something inside me stirred.A sudden chill rushed through my body, stealing the air from my lungs. Every hair on my arms stood on end as a strange warmth spread through my chest.I froze.For the first time in my life… I felt her.My wolf.She wasn’t speaking, but I could feel her.She was alive.Her emotions poured into me like a rushing river. Excitement. Curiosity. Happiness.It was as though she had finally woken after years of silence.I could almost reach her.Almost.But something invisible continued holding her back.No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t cross whatever stood between us.A soft sound suddenly came from Kael’s

Chapter: Chapter Six
Anna’s POVSilence settled over the forest.The rogues who had been holding me exchanged uneasy glances. Even the one gripping my wrist loosened his hold without realizing it.The scarred rogue was the first to recover.A slow smile spread across his face as he looked Kael up and down.“So the mighty Alpha of Ironfang really came alone.” He chuckled. “I almost expected you to bring your entire army.”Kael didn’t respond.His cold gray eyes never left the rogue standing closest to me.“I won’t repeat myself.”The warning was quiet, yet every word carried enough authority to make the air feel heavier.The scarred rogue laughed louder this time.“You’ve always had a reputation for being fearless.” He slowly drew his sword. “Let’s see if the stories are true.”He raised a hand.“Kill him.”The rogues didn’t hesitate.They attacked from every direction at once.I sucked in a sharp breath.“Kael!”He moved before the first blade could reach him.One moment he was standing still.The next, t

Chapter: Chapter Five
Anna’s POVThe smile on the scarred rogue’s face widened as more wolves stepped out from the shadows, their eyes fixed on me with the same predatory hunger.Moonlight filtered through the trees, revealing at least a dozen rogues surrounding the clearing. Some carried swords stained with fresh blood, while others remained in their wolf forms, pacing slowly as though they already knew I had nowhere left to run.Only then did I understand how badly I’d miscalculated.I hadn’t cornered one of the wolves responsible for the destruction of my pack.I’d walked straight into the trap they had laid for me.The scarred rogue folded his arms across his chest and let out a low chuckle.“Our Alpha was right,” he said. “Your need for revenge blinded you. He knew the moment you recognized me, you’d chase without thinking.”My fingers tightened around the dagger in my hand until my knuckles turned white.“Then tell your Alpha he underestimated me.”His laughter echoed through the clearing.“I don’t t

Chapter: Chapter Four
Anna’s POVAnother explosion tore through the ceremony grounds, sending splinters of wood and stone flying into the air.The joyous celebration dissolved into chaos.Parents grabbed their children and rushed toward the safety of the pack house while warriors barked orders over the terrified screams echoing across the clearing.“Protect the elders!”“Get everyone inside!”Several wolves shifted instantly, their massive forms bursting through torn clothing as they charged toward the eastern gate.I instinctively reached for the dagger hidden beneath my dress.Kael looked over his shoulder, his sharp gray eyes finding mine.“Stay with Grams Becky.”“I can fight.” “I know you can.” His voice remained calm despite the chaos around us. “That’s not a request, Anna.”Before I could argue, he was already gone.He strode toward the broken gate with steady, unhurried steps, as though the invading wolves posed little threat to him.My eyes followed him until Grams Becky grabbed my arm.“Anna, co

Chapter: Chapter Three
Anna’s POVLater that evening, I slipped into the navy-blue dress Grams Becky had picked out for me.The soft fabric hugged my body perfectly before stopping just above my knees. The sleeveless design left my arms bare, while the open back added a touch of elegance that made me feel both confident and strangely exposed.I turned slowly in front of the mirror.Not bad.A knock sounded on my bedroom door before it opened a second later.“There she is.” Grams Becky walked in carrying a pair of silver earrings, her warm brown eyes lighting up the moment she saw me.“I knew this dress would suit you.”I smiled, shaking my head.Ever since Kael had brought me to Ironfang after the attack on my pack, Grams Becky had been the one responsible for looking after me. She wasn’t related to me by blood, but somewhere between making sure I never skipped meals, treating every bruise I came home with, and scolding me whenever I overworked myself, she’d quietly become the closest thing I had to family

Chapter: Chapter Two
Anna’s POVTraining was finally over, but my mind refused to settle.Why had Kael summoned me to his office?Whatever the reason was, I was sure of one thing.He was going to find a way to irritate me.Just like he always did.“Anna!”I barely had time to turn before Emma threw her arms around me, hugging me so tightly my feet left the ground.I laughed despite myself.“Emma! Put me down before you break my ribs.”She finally let go, grinning from ear to ear.“Never.”I shook my head with a smile.Emma, the Beta’s younger sister, had been my closest friend ever since I arrived at Ironfang a year ago. If it wasn’t for her, I honestly didn’t know how I would’ve survived living here.“So glad to see you,” I said.“You too.” She linked her arm through mine as we walked away from the training grounds. “Training with the Gamma team was terrible today. I swear they were trying to kill us. I wish I had been assigned to your group instead.”I raised an eyebrow.“You call getting punched in the
