BOUND TO HER WILL CHAPTER ONE
CHAPTER ONETalia Elowen hated mornings.Not because she wasn’t a morning person—she was, begrudgingly. She got up before her alarm, drank her coffee black, and walked to work like the world wasn’t slowly bleeding her dry. No, what she hated was the way the world insisted on shoving itself into her peace before she had a chance to armor herself.By 8:47 a.m., the office was already a warzone of ringing phones, passive-aggressive emails, and half-hearted small talk. The fluorescent lighting buzzed faintly overhead like a nervous tic. The building was old, the kind of beige-and-bland structure that seemed designed to kill ambition.Talia didn’t mind. It was the perfect place to be invisible.Her desk sat neatly at the center of the admin floor—a sea of cubicles and chaos surrounding her like noise she’d long learned to tune out. Her inbox was already stacked with tasks, approvals, and calendar requests that made other people twitchy. Not her. She found comfort in the order of it all. Pr

CHAPTER TWOPuya Ridge Book Nook – Thursday, 7:12 p.m.Talia pressed her finger into the crease of her worn paperback, eyes skimming a familiar paragraph even though she wasn’t really reading anymore.Around her, the book club hummed with soft chatter and the comforting clink of mugs. In the corner of the cozy bookstore café, surrounded by the scent of cinnamon tea and old paper, she should have felt at peace. She usually did. The lighting was warm, the chairs mismatched and cozy, and the shelves overflowed with books—her sanctuary since she was a teenager.But tonight, something in her wouldn’t settle.“Tell me you’re not rereading that scene again,” Harper murmured beside her, nudging her elbow.Caught, Talia glanced down at her book. “Maybe.”Harper smirked, sipping from her mug. “You always go soft for the tortured antihero types.”Talia arched a brow. “I like complexity.”“You like emotionally unavailable men with violent pasts and a jawline sharp enough to cut glass.”Talia huff

CHAPTER THREERonanThe first time Ronan felt her presence, he was over a hundred miles away.It came as a shift in the air—sharp, sweet, and wrong. A scent threaded through the wind, whispering through his senses like a secret meant only for him.It shouldn't have been possible.He’d trained his mind and body to resist everything. Hunger. Attachment. Even fate. Especially fate.But her scent cleaved through him like lightning, and with it came something more dangerous than curiosity.Recognition.He’d been standing in the middle of a negotiation with the Westborne pack when it hit him—so hard he’d staggered a step backward. Everyone noticed. No one questioned it.They wouldn’t dare.He dismissed the meeting early and drove. Didn’t tell his Beta where he was going. Didn’t know himself.But the pull was relentless.And then he saw her.In the grocery store of all places, tucked between shelves of canned soup and herbal tea, frowning softly as she read the back of a label. Mundane. Ordi

CHAPTER FOURTaliaThe bookstore should have been a sanctuary.It was where she went when the world felt too loud—where stories soothed the static in her chest. But tonight, even the scent of old paper and coffee couldn’t calm the storm inside her.She hadn’t been able to focus all day. Her skin prickled like something was watching her. Every shadow seemed deeper. Every glance over her shoulder sharper.And then there were the dreams.They'd started after she met him. That man. Ronan.She hadn’t seen him since the strange message at the café—the one that had chilled her to the bone.“I’m not here to hurt you. But you need to stay out of the woods.”She didn’t even remember telling him her name.And yet something in his voice—deep and graveled, laced with unspoken things—had left her shaken for days.She stared at the book in her hands and realized she hadn’t read a single sentence. Her best friend, Lani, sat across from her at their usual table, already halfway through the new fantasy

CHAPTER FIVE Ronan She was waking up. Ronan felt it like a current in his blood, a subtle shift in the air that told him Talia Elowen was no longer just dreaming—she was remembering. Sensing. Reacting. He leaned against the edge of the stone railing on the upper balcony of the Thorne estate, the sprawling woods of Puya Ridge stretching into the distance, blanketed in dawn mist. From here, he could see the edges of town, smell the sleepy stir of its human occupants. But there was only one scent he cared about lately. Her. Talia’s scent lingered in his mind like a splinter he couldn’t pull out. Clean linen. Jasmine. A hint of something sweeter beneath it, something elusive. Not perfume—her. And she was pulling him in. He hated that. He clenched his jaw as the ache in his chest pulsed again—low and sharp. The bond wasn’t just forming—it was fusing. And he didn’t want it. He hadn’t asked for this. But she had triggered it. Not by choice—no, this wasn’t her fault. This was hers

CHAPTER SIX Talia Something was wrong with her. Talia stood at the mirror, hands pressed against the cool edge of her bathroom sink, studying her reflection like it held answers. She didn’t recognize the person staring back—not completely. Her eyes were tired. Not from lack of sleep, but from the weight of confusion. Restless nights. Dreams that clung to her skin like silk threads, impossible to shake. She saw him again last night. Ronan. Not just in the usual fleeting way—this dream had been different. His hands were on her waist. His mouth near her throat. The air between them so thick with need she could barely breathe. She could still hear the rasp of his voice, the way it curled around her name like a promise and a warning all at once. It had felt… real. Too real. She touched her neck. No marks, of course. No logical reason to believe anything she saw in those half-lit moments was anything more than a dream. But her body didn’t care about logic. It remembered. Worse, it

CHAPTER SEVEN Ronan The wind carried her scent before he saw her. Subtle. Clean. Hints of citrus and something soft, like jasmine after a summer storm. Ronan was standing across from the café when the breeze stirred, brushing her presence against his senses like a whisper meant only for him. He didn’t move. Didn’t blink. He just watched. There she was—Talia—sitting in the window beside her friend, laughter caught on her lips, the sunlight kissing the edge of her cheek. Completely unaware of the way the world shifted around her. Of how the curse tethered him to her like a chain around his ribcage. He’d been careful up until now. Careful not to let himself be seen. Careful not to go near her when the moon swelled or his instincts howled. But today? Today felt like something inside him had frayed. The dreams were getting worse. The urges, too. She haunted his sleep like a ghost he’d once known. But she wasn’t a memory. She was real. And the bond—unnatural as it was—only grew mor

CHAPTER EIGHT Talia There was something oddly comforting about the produce section. Maybe it was the bright lights or the way everything had its place—tomatoes stacked like obedient little soldiers, greens misted and perky in their bins. It felt orderly. Predictable. A quiet moment in a day that had been anything but. Talia reached for a bundle of fresh basil, twisting the tie to check the leaves. It wasn’t the best quality, but it would do. Amara had sent her a new recipe, and for once, Talia didn’t want to go straight home and collapse into bed. Cooking kept her hands busy and her mind quiet. Both were necessary lately. Her phone buzzed in the cart. She glanced at the screen. Amara: Tell me you’re not making pasta again. Talia smirked and typed back: Don’t judge me, it’s therapeutic. She dropped the basil into her cart and turned the corner into the next aisle—and collided with something hard. Someone. Strong hands caught her before she could stumble back. “Easy.” The voi

Chapter Eighteen🩷Talia🩷She hadn’t meant to lean into him.But when the knock shattered the moment and Ronan’s warmth pulled away, a strange ache settled in her chest—quiet and unfamiliar. Now, alone in his room again, she sat on the edge of the bed, fingers curled around the edge of the blanket, staring at the closed door like it held answers she wasn’t ready to face.Everything about this place felt too still. Too quiet.Except for him.She could hear him—low murmurs of his voice just outside, the scrape of booted feet across hardwood. He hadn’t been gone long, but her skin still hummed from his nearness. From the way his fingers had brushed against her wrist when he passed her the tea. From the way his gaze lingered on her mouth like he was memorizing it.She hated how aware she was of him. Of the clean, woodsy scent that clung to the room, grounding and wild. Of the way her pulse betrayed her every time he came too close.Talia closed her eyes and exhaled slowly.She wasn’t thi

Chapter Seventeen🩵Ronan🩵The cold air sliced through the forest, the crisp scent of pine mixed with the lingering bitterness of something foul—a residue from the magic still swirling in the night. The moment Elias had left, the familiar weight of responsibility settled back into Ronan’s chest.He wasn’t sure what he feared more: the battle ahead or what might be happening to Talia while he was gone.But there was no time to hesitate. He had a pack to protect.The northern ridge was where the wolves gathered to stake their claim. It was where they drew their strength from the land, where the earth seemed to hum with power. But tonight, it felt wrong. The land was still, a disturbing calm that made Ronan’s wolf pace uneasily inside him.Ronan’s steps were calculated, purposeful as he moved through the trees, the dense undergrowth brushing against his legs. Every movement of the wind, every rustle of leaves, made his senses sharper. His claws ached to be unsheathed, but he kept his fo

CHAPTER SIXTEEN 🩵Ronan🩵 The ground split beneath his feet as the beast lunged, scales catching firelight, wings blotting out the moon. Its roar was a curse made flesh, rattling the bones of the earth. And in its claws—Talia. Ronan didn’t think. He moved. His body blurred into motion, claws slicing, power thrumming through his veins like a war drum. He launched himself at the creature’s exposed flank, teeth bared, intent clear—rip it apart or die trying. Above the frenzy, Seraphina laughed. “You’re always too late, Ronan.” He didn’t answer. Couldn’t. Rage and fear fused into something feral, something old. Talia screamed his name. And that was all it took to break the leash inside him. --- The beast twisted midair, wings cracking like thunder as it rose higher, claws digging into Talia’s shoulders. She writhed, kicked, fought with every ounce of strength she had—but it wasn’t enough. Ronan's wolf roared inside him. He leapt from the rock ledge, power coiling in his legs,

CHAPTER SEVENTEEN🩵Ronan🩵He felt it the moment it happened.A fracture in the bond—not broken, not severed, but ripped away.Ronan dropped to his knees in the center of the clearing, clawed hands sinking into damp earth, his roar shaking the trees. Not a sound of defeat. A declaration of war. Talia was gone.Taken.And the scent left behind was unlike anything he'd ever tracked. Burned magic. Scorched earth. Smoke that slithered instead of rising.And beneath it all—the taunt of a beast’s presence. Ancient. Wrong.He rose slowly, blood thrumming through his veins like wildfire. Elias was already moving around the perimeter, his jaw clenched, eyes dark.“She didn’t just vanish,” Elias said, voice low. “There was something. In the sky.”Ronan didn’t answer. Couldn’t.Because his vision was full of fire.Because the last time a creature like this roamed these lands, it took half a century to put it down—and cost three packs everything.He tilted his head, forcing himself to focus.Not

CHAPTER FIFTEEN Talia Talia’s reflection stared back at her from the café window. Her hands curled around the warmth of her paper cup, coffee forgotten as she watched the world blur past. It was one of those mornings—heavy with a feeling she couldn’t name, as if her skin didn’t quite fit right, like something waited just beyond the horizon to knock her off balance. She hadn’t slept well. Not after the dream—or whatever it was—had pulled her into something cold and crawling. Shadows twisting around a voice she didn’t recognize but felt in her bones. It whispered warnings in a language her waking mind couldn’t grasp, but her soul remembered. “You look like you’ve seen a ghost.” A familiar voice broke through her thoughts. Bria slid into the seat across from her, scarf half-unraveled, cheeks flushed from the cold. She didn’t even bother with a greeting. Just reached for the extra croissant Talia had ordered and raised a brow. “Did I?” Talia asked, trying to sound normal. “Girl, y

CHAPTER FOURTEEN Talia The wind had a bite tonight. Talia tugged her coat tighter around her body as she stepped off the bus. The streetlights cast elongated shadows over the pavement, and Puya Ridge felt quieter than usual. The kind of quiet that made your skin itch. It was probably nothing. Probably just her nerves, taut and overworked after a long day at the office and an even longer evening at book club. But she couldn’t shake the feeling that she was being watched. She turned a slow circle before continuing down the sidewalk. It wasn’t paranoia if it had happened before. That sensation—like a brush of fingers down her spine, electric and unwelcome—had been haunting her since that night outside the library. The night she thought she saw someone watching her. She hadn’t mentioned it to anyone. Not even Eliza. Not when it made no sense. The streets of downtown Puya Ridge emptied fast at night. This town went to bed early. Talia loved that about it. Safe, quiet, easy to disapp
BOUND TO HER WILL CHAPTER THIRTEEN
CHAPTER THIRTEEN Ronan The woods were too quiet. Ronan moved like a shadow between the trees, each step precise, silent. The usual sounds of nocturnal life were absent—no owls calling, no rustle of small prey in the underbrush. Just a thick, unnatural stillness that clung to everything. He sniffed the air. Something was wrong. This part of Puya Ridge was protected by old pack wards—steeped in tradition, in blood and bond. Nothing crossed into Thorne territory without him knowing. And yet, tonight, the wards had pulsed like a struck nerve. Faint, but undeniable. A vibration against his spine that had drawn him from his bed into the darkness. Someone—or something—had breached the perimeter. He came to a stop near the edge of the ridge, where the land fell into a steep slope of jagged rock and wild briars. The moon cut a silver path across the trees, but even its light felt weaker tonight, like it was being swallowed by the dark. Then he saw it. Scorch marks in the grass. A sce
BOUND TO HER WILL CHAPTER TWELVE
CHAPTER TWELVE Talia Talia didn’t remember falling asleep. One moment she was curled up on the couch with the paperback still open in her lap, and the next she was blinking into the soft grey light of early morning, her neck aching from the awkward angle. Her apartment was silent except for the occasional groan of the old plumbing and the muted buzz of life outside her window. She yawned, stretching her limbs carefully, then winced as her phone lit up. Six missed messages. Two from Amara. One from her supervisor. And three from an unknown number. She sat up straighter, heart tripping in her chest. She opened Amara's first. Amara: Book club at my place tonight. Don’t flake. Amara: Also, are you okay? You seemed off yesterday. Talia chewed her bottom lip and ignored the message from work. She scrolled to the unknown sender. Unknown: Did you sleep well? Unknown: You shouldn’t ignore what you feel. Unknown: I’m closer than you think. Her breath left her in a sharp exhale. She d
BOUND TO HER WILL CHAPTER ELEVEN
CHAPTER ELEVEN Ronan Ronan paced the confines of his office, the weight of the night pressing heavily on his shoulders. The packhouse was quiet, most of his wolves asleep, lulled by the false peace that came with darkness. But Ronan couldn’t rest. Not when everything inside him thrummed with restless energy, sharpened by the memory of her. Talia. He’d stayed too long tonight, hidden across the street from her apartment like a fucking stalker. Watching her. Protecting her. That’s what he told himself anyway. But the truth was more dangerous. He didn’t want to protect her. He wanted to claim her. Ronan’s fists curled at his sides. The wolf within him stirred, awake and prowling just under his skin, a low growl vibrating through his chest. It wasn’t normal. It wasn’t right. His wolf was disciplined. Trained. He had fought wars for control over it. And yet now, one look from her — one goddamn heartbeat — and the beast inside him had nearly broken free. He slammed his hands down
