LORRAINE’S POV

My heart raced as I stood before the massive doors separating me from the masquerade ball.

You can do it, Lorraine. No one will recognize you.

Clutching my pendant, I took a deep breath. The moment I took a step forward, the doors swung open.

The sound of a piano filled the ballroom as I stepped inside. Guests stood in elegant clusters, their masked faces turning briefly in my direction.

My eyes wandered across the sprawling ballroom, searching for the main character of the even

    ALEXAVIAN’S POV“The phone,” I said, standing beside the bed and stretching my hand out toward her. “Lorraine,” I called out again after she continued staring at the screen, completely ignoring my presence.She groaned, reluctantly handing the device over. “It was just getting to the good part.” She met my gaze, her eyes narrowing playfully. “And don’t think you can just take it back whenever you feel like it just because you handed it to me.”I scanned the incoming text messages for anything unusual, but it was exactly as she had read. Andreus was not the type of man to return to the Crimson Pack for trivial matters. He loathed this territory and had made his stance on the pack clear years ago.“You don’t even use it anyway, and I don’t have a phone,” she pressed on, leaning back against the propped-up pillows. “Technically, it should automatically be mine now. I’m your guest, and I’m sick. Right?”“Hmm,” I answered absentmindedly, my thumb tapping the glass screen.Alexavian: Why?

  • BOUND TO THE IMMORTAL ALPHA   CHAPTER 16 - BEHIND CLOSED DOORS

    LORRAINE’S POV The throbbing ache in my muscles hit me like a violent wave the second I regained vconsciousness. Even twitching my fingers felt like a chore. The last thing I remembered was pouring blood mixture over the counter-array, watching the statues shatter and then…total darkness. I wasn’t actually dying… was I? My eyes flew open as the door creaked, bringing Jules into view carrying a tray. A weird sense of déjà vu washed over me. Except this time, I didn’t wake up to discover my fiance’s betrayal and I had given my blood willingly. “Miss, you are awake!” Dropping the tray onto bed bench, he rushed to my side. Just then, a secondary door, one that clearly connected to a bathroom, swung open. Alexavian strolled out wearing nothing but a black bathrobe, casually wiping his damp hair with a towel. “My lord, she is awake,” Jules announced. Alexavian immediately paused, dropping the towel around his neck as he walked over to the edge of the mattress. He reached out, his

  • BOUND TO THE IMMORTAL ALPHA   CHAPTER 15 - A HEARTBEAT STOLEN

    LORRAINE’S POV "No... no, this can't be happening.” A broken sob escaped my throat as I painstakingly pushed myself up. “You saw it, right? It worked! Why are they still the same?” What did I do wrong?“You tried your best,” Alexavian said, his voice dropping into a heavy tone as his fingers tightened around me.With every once of strength I had left, I violently peeled his hands away. “So why are they still stone?” my voice trembling with each word. “Tell me!”I grabbed the fabric of his coat, shaking him, but his lips clamped firmly shut as he avoided my gaze.“Jules,” I turned to him, my breathing ragged. Jules’s lips parted slightly, a heavy conflict flashing across his features as glanced at Alexavian before he said, “The curse has been stopped from spreading, but what was already done cannot simply be undone.”“But… I promised,” The words left my lips as I crawled back toward the array, my knees scraping against the gravel beneath me.The dried blood on my fingers caught my e

    LORRAINE’S POVTaking a deep breath, I forced the brightest smile I could conjure onto my face. “I’d like to see this curse you claim I participated in.”We were nothing more than two strangers using each other, and I never expected his trust. Yet, the disbelief in his eyes cut deeper than it should have.“You need not involve yourself further,” Alexavian replied, his expression turning away from me. Turning to Jules, he ordered, "Escort Miss Silvius back to her chambers. She is not to leave without my permission."“You can’t do that,” I protested, stepping forward and catching his arm just as he made a move to brush past me. “I’m not your prisoner, Alexavian. That was never part of our deal.”“That was until you broke it,” he said, his fingers wrapping around my hand to peel it off his sleeve. But I tightened my grip, holding him firmly in place. “This land has known no witch presence for centuries. Yet this curse manifests only after your arrival."“I don’t know why it's there,” my

  • BOUND TO THE IMMORTAL ALPHA   CHAPTER 13 - THE PRICE OF TRUST

    LORRAINE’S POV ​“Are you here to finish what we started?” Casimir asked, a lazy smile tugging at his lips as he leaned back against the velvet couch, a glass of wine balanced between his fingers. ​I had run after every single guest, trying to find him, only to discover that he had his own private guest room right inside the manor. ​I ignored his teasing, taking a look around the well-furnished room. “If Alexavian treats you so well, why did you arrange for his death?” The amusement faded from his face, “do not confuse hospitality with kindness, Miss Silvius.” He stood, walking toward the window overlooking the manor grounds. “Alexavian is many things. Generous is not one of them. Every action he takes has a purpose. Every favor has a price.” “Then tell me?” I asked. “Why does he hate witches?” He turned slightly, his expression unreadable. “His parents were killed by witches. That much is common knowledge.” He looked away. “What most people do not know is that they took somet

  • BOUND TO THE IMMORTAL ALPHA   CHAPTER 12 - A CRACK IN THE ICE

    ALEXAVIAN’S POV "Should you remain undecided on the appropriate gift, perhaps you might entrust Lady Lorraine to my care instead. ” Casimir mused.A spark of irritation stirred within me.I had never intended to grace this ridiculous charade of a ball with my presence. But, the witch had managed to plunge herself into chaos on her very first day in the Pack territory.“What do you mean, entrust?” Lorraine snapped from behind my shoulder, her head peeking out past my back, her eyes narrowed. “Am I some sort of property to you people?”Casimir simply winked at her, entirely unfazed by her bite. "Beauty is meant to be appreciated. He would rather look at his books than you.”“Right. Because between the nerd and the traitor who just tried to have us assassinated on the highway, I definitely prefer the nerd,” she retorted.Casimir’s sarcastic gaze shifted from the witch to me, his smile taking on a sharper edge. “And what if your protector is actually a much greater threat to you than I c
