Bound By Bloodlines ย ย ย Chapter 37: IT'S FATE
Dorian's presence was an imposing force as he stepped forward. His broad shoulders seemed to fill the room, his intense gaze like the weight of a storm about to break. Every step he took was measured, a deliberate statement of dominance. There was no need for words, his very aura commanding the space. Elder Qwin watched him carefully from the entrance , her hands clasped behind her back. Her posture remained rigid, her head slightly tilted as she scrutinized him, the barest flicker of amusement in her cold eyes. "You never needed an introduction, Dorian," she remarked, her voice quiet but laced with steel. "Even as a boy, your presence always preceded you."For a moment, the tension between them hummed like a live wire, unspoken history crackling in the air. Dorianโs jaw tightened, his gaze unwavering. "I see you havenโt lost your charm, Grandmother," he replied, his voice carrying a respectful edge, though there was a note of controlled irritation underneath.Elder Qwinโs thin lips

Qwin turned to face him, eyes piercing through his defenses. "You think you can outmaneuver them, boy? The council has had their hands in your destiny long before you realized, because you gave them the upper hand."Dorianโs frustration broke through. " Sheโs irrelevant to me. I didnโt ask for this, nor do I need her."Qwin stepped closer, her voice barely a whisper. "But you didnโt reject her Dorian? Sheโs still bound to you, even if you refuse to see it."Dorian remained silent, his throat tightening at the question he hadnโt allowed himself to consider. Why hadnโt he sent Irwin away? But Irwin was different. She stirred something within him, a protective instinct he couldnโt quite understand.Qwin, sensing his internal battle, took a step back and crossed her arms, her expression one of contemplation. "Dorian, your choices reflect not just your desires but the responsibilities that come with your position. She's just a puzzle"Dorianโs frustration surged again. "You think I care ab

The sun had barely begun to rise, casting long shadows over the path as Irwin rode her white horse, charging down the road as if trying to escape her thoughts. Each beat of the hooves seemed to mirror the hammering of her heart, which was filled with frustration and anger. The cool morning air felt sharp against her cheeks, but it did nothing to calm the burning rage that coursed through her.Her breath came in short bursts as she replayed last night over and over in her head. What had she been thinking? A tiny flicker of hope had tricked her into believing that maybe, just maybe, there was something more between her and Dorian. But, She had been wrong. She shook her head, tightening her grip on the reins as the horse galloped forward. โDamn you, Dorian,โ she muttered under her breath, her voice breaking slightly. โDamn you for making me believe there was something.โThe horseโs pace quickened, as though sensing her fury and desperation. The world around her became a blur of green an

Irwinโs heart skipped a beat, and she slowed the horse further, unsure of what to make of the man. He stood still, almost as if he were waiting for her. The man has an aura of mystery surrounding him. Irwin tensed as she leaned slightly forward on the saddle, her eyes locked onto him.โI have nothing to offer,โ she called out, her voice steady despite the unease creeping up her spine. โIโm just passing through.โThe man didnโt move. โA lady? Moving with such great speed?โ he replied, his voice smooth, with a hint of amusement. He slowly lifted his head and removed his hat, revealing his face.Her breath caught in her throat as recognition slammed into her like a tidal wave.โValen?โ she gasped, her eyes widening.Valenโs eyes widened in surprise as he stared back at her. โLovethe,โ he whispered in disbelief, the nickname rolling off his tongue with familiarity. His gaze softened for a moment, his surprise mingling with something warmer.The name cut through her like a knife, and Irwi

"I will go with you," Irwin said quietly, her voice almost lost in the morning breeze. She placed her hand on Valenโs, her grip steady but hesitant. She still couldnโt read him fully, but something in his demeanor made her want to trust him or at least, to understand him better.Valen smiled, his gaze softening as he helped her mount the white horse. The ease with which he did it made Irwinโs stomach twist in knots. His touch was gentle, almost too familiar, as if they had done this countless times before. He mounted his own horse beside hers, and they began their journey deeper into the thick forest.The ride was mostly quiet, but not uncomfortable. Valenโs presence had a strange calming effect on her, though she didnโt want to admit it. Every time he looked over at her, his eyes seemed to glimmer with unspoken words. And every time he said something, it was enough to keep her mind spinning in multiple directions.โSo, Lovethe,โ Valen said suddenly, his voice breaking through the r

Valen opened the door to his house, gesturing for Irwin to enter first. She hesitated, glancing back at him for a moment before stepping inside. Wooden furniture, clearly handmade, filled the room. A large fireplace crackled warmly in the corner, giving the space a welcoming glow. Yet, despite the warmth, an undercurrent of loneliness and isolation seemed to seep into every crevice.โMake yourself comfortable,โ Valen said softly, his voice almost a whisper as he followed her inside and closed the door behind them. He moved with such ease and grace that for a moment, Irwin felt out of place.Irwin walked further into the room, glancing around. Everything in Valen's home appeared to have been crafted with care and purpose. The walls, lined with books and odd trinkets, seemed to tell stories of their own. She turned to face him, her mind swirling with questions. He had rescued her from the hate brooding inside of her, but there was still an aura of mystery surrounding him that Irwin co

The question hung in the air like a shadow, and Irwin felt her heart skip a beat. She looked at Valen, unsure of what to say next. His deep gaze held hers, waiting for her to respond. It was a moment where the silence between them spoke louder than words. She shifted awkwardly, trying to break free from the tension that seemed to coil around them.Irwin could feel Valenโs eyes on her, waiting, searching for the truth she had tried so hard to hide. But instead of pressing her further, Valen sighed, walking back to his chair by the fire.โI didnโt mean to pry,โ Valen said, his voice soft but firm. โWe all have our secrets, Lovethe.โThe name struck Irwin again. "Lovethe" a name she had given him to shield her true identity, yet now, every time he said it, it sounded more intimate, more personal. She swallowed hard, her mind racing.โYouโre right,โ Irwin finally admitted, her voice barely above a whisper. โWe do.โThere was a silence between them, the crackling of the fire the only sound

The sun filtered through the window, casting soft light across the room as Valen continued sharing parts of himself he had long buried. His voice had dropped lower now, more intimate, as if peeling back layers of armor he had worn for far too long. Irwin sat quietly, absorbing every word. โI was supposed to be the strongest in our pack,โ Valen began, his voice carrying the weight of untold pain. His eyes, dark and stormy, seemed to flicker with memories long buried. โBut when the time came to prove it, I was cheated. The man who betrayed my parents? He set up the fight.โIrwinโs eyebrows knitted together as she leaned in closer. Her heart clenched, hearing the deep ache behind his words. She had always known Valen as a fighter, but thisโthis was something far deeper. โHow did he cheat?โValenโs lips curled into a bitter smile, a mixture of anger and sadness flashing across his face. โThere was a fight, a test of strength to see who would lead our group.

Bound By Bloodlines ย ย ย Chapter 132: I WILL BREAK YOU DORIAN!
The rain tapped lightly against the small, cracked windows of the cabin. Inside, the air was thick with the scent of damp wood and the faint odor of burning incense, meant to mask the staleness of the place. A fire crackled in the hearth, casting flickering shadows against the stone walls.Valen sat in a worn wooden chair, his body slumped and exhausted, his hands hanging loosely by his sides. His appearance was far from the man he once was โ strong and unyielding. The battle scars on his face, his dark eyes filled with a thousand stories of pain, now reflected only the weariness of one who had been fighting for too long. His once sharp posture had given way to a slump, a man crushed by the weight of his own thoughts.A small figure approached him. It was Rania, a child no older than ten, with dark eyes that seemed far too mature for her age. Her small hands held a simple wooden cup, filled with water she had just fetched from the nearby well. She had grown up faster than any child sh
Bound By Bloodlines ย ย ย Chapter 131: THE DAWN OF UNITY
โThis is the beginning of a new chapter for Shadowclaw,โ Dorian says, his voice powerful and commanding. The wolves around him stop in their tracks, their eyes fixed on him. They hang on to every word.โWe will no longer live in fear of enemies from outside or from within. We are strong, and together, we will ensure our packโs legacy.โDorianโs words linger in the air as if the very earth beneath them acknowledges the gravity of what he says. Irwin, standing beside him, feels a surge of pride. She grips his hand, the power of their bond pulsing through her.Irwin takes a step forward, her gaze steady and filled with conviction. โTogether, we will lead this pack into an era of peace and prosperity. The future belongs to us, and it begins now.โThe pack howls in agreement, a thunderous chorus that reverberates through the forest. For the first time in years, thereโs no fear, no angerโonly a unity that fills every wolf with pride.As the echoes of the howls fade into the distance, the at
Bound By Bloodlines ย ย ย Chapter 130: THE HEART OF THE PACK
Irwin stood on the balcony of the packโs main hall, her eyes scanning the vast expanse of forest. The stillness of the night enveloped her, but inside, her heart was anything but calm. The weight of the responsibility she now carried as Luna, Dorianโs equal, and the heart of the pack, settled heavily on her shoulders.She had spent so many years running, hiding from her nature, afraid of being rejected. But now, after the battles, the heartache, and the triumphs, Irwin had come to accept her role. She was not just Dorianโs mate anymore; she was the leader of Shadowclaw, standing beside him to guide the pack into a future they would shape together.Dorian approached her from behind, his footsteps quiet but sure. As always, his presence was commanding yet comforting, the silent strength of a leader that everyone followed. He placed a hand on her shoulder, his fingers warm against her skin."How are you feeling?" he asked, his voice low, yet filled with concern.Irwin turned to face him,
Bound By Bloodlines ย ย ย Chapter 129: THE RETURN OF PEACE
The winds had calmed, and the ominous clouds that had once hung over Shadowclaw had dissipated. The storms, both literal and metaphorical, had passed. It was an unspoken truth among the pack: the worst was behind them. Dorian stood at the edge of the packโs territory, his eyes scanning the horizon. The distant mountains loomed under the soft rays of the setting sun. The earth beneath his feet felt solid, the familiar scent of pine and earth grounding him in this moment of calm. But even as the peace settled in, he knew it was only the beginning of a new chapter. The scars of war were deep, both in the land and in their hearts.Beside him, Irwin stood silently. Her presence, once a source of uncertainty and raw power, was now a comforting constant. Her gaze was fixed on the horizon as well, but her thoughts seemed far away, lost in the same weight Dorian carried. It was in moments like these that words were unnecessary between them. They both knew the struggles they had faced, the bat
Bound By Bloodlines ย ย ย Chapter 128: A BATTLE WON BUT NOT FINISHED
The air around Dorian was thick with the scent of blood and smoke, the remnants of the brutal battle that had just taken place. The once-pristine forest floor was now a chaotic mess of broken branches, torn earth, and the shattered remnants of what had once been an unstoppable force. It was the aftermath of a battle that would mark the end of an era for the Shadow Fang pack and the beginning of a new reign for Shadowclaw. Yet, as Dorian stood over the defeated pack, the weight of what had transpired was not lost on him.His massive wolf form towered over the field, every muscle rippling with the aftermath of battle. His fur, normally sleek and dark, was matted with blood and dirt. His breathing was heavy, his chest rising and falling with each intake of air. The fight with Valen had taken everything out of him, but he had emerged victorious. He had shown Valen who was the true Alpha, the one who commanded respect, who wielded power not only through strength but through strategy, leade
Bound By Bloodlines ย ย ย Chapter 127: IRWIN'S POWER UNLEASHED
Irwin stood still, her breath coming in ragged gasps, her body trembling with the aftermath of the intense conflict. Her once-glowing hands now dimmed, the power she had just unleashed still surging beneath her skin, begging for release.She had done itโshe had defeated Vendetta, the dark witch who had threatened to tear apart everything Irwin held dear. But the victory came at a price. Irwin could feel the energy inside herโwild and uncontrollable. It was crawling beneath her flesh like a living entity. It was her power, but it was more than she could fully comprehend. It was as if the magic inside her was a force of its own, no longer confined by the rules of the world.Her heart hammered in her chest, the weight of the battle settling over her like a cloak of exhaustion. She had felt the dark magic surge inside her during the fight with Vendetta, pushing her beyond the limits of what she thought possible. And now, she stood at the edge of the forest leaving Dorian her mate behind,
Bound By Bloodlines ย ย ย Chapter 126: THE FALL OF THE SHADOWFANG
The once-proud Shadow Fang pack was now crumbling under the weight of defeat. The clash of paws, the screeches of wolves, and the harsh growls of battle filled the air as warriors on both sides fought fiercely. The forest was alive with the bloodshed, but it was clear: the Shadowclaw pack had the upper hand. The Shadow Fang wolves, those who had once prided themselves on their strength and savagery, now found themselves overwhelmed by the sheer power of Shadowclaw's resolve.Cain fought valiantly, his massive wolf form crashing through the enemy lines, his claws slicing through flesh. His eyes were wild with rage, each strike fueled by the anger and desperation that surged within him. The head guard of Shadowfang snarled as cain lunged toward him, as his fangs sank into the enemy's throat with swift precision, tearing out the life force in a flash. .Elder Lucian, watching the battlefield from a distance, knew they were losing. His senses, honed from years of experience, told him eve
Bound By Bloodlines ย ย ย Chapter 125: THE CLASHES OF FATES
The sky above was darkening with the promise of a storm, the air heavy with tension. The sounds of battle filled the air as claws were clashing, growls reverberating, and the sickening sound of flesh tearing. Irwin stood in the center of the storm, her heart pounding in her chest as she stared across at Vendetta. The witchโs twisted grin was unsettling, a mockery of her confidence. Behind her, the remnants of the Shadow Fang pack rallied, but they were losing, their warriors broken and retreating in fear.Vendettaโs magic swirled around her like a thick, toxic fog. Dark tendrils of power lashed out, aiming to strike at Irwin, to break her down. The witch had once been a powerful adversary, a threat that seemed insurmountable. โWhy are you still here, Vendetta?โ Irwinโs voice rang out, steady despite the rage that burned within her. โYouโve already lost.โThe witchโs eyes gleamed with malice. โLost?โ She laughed, the sound like broken glass. โIโve won everything, girl.

Bound By Bloodlines ย ย ย Chapter 124: THE AWAKENING OF IRWIN
" forget Dorian, he can't penetrate into here Valen. We need to focus on Irwin now" Vendetta said as she took a glimpse of Irwin by the corner of the room.The air was heavy in the darkened chamber, a very palpable tension suffocating the space. Chains forged of shadow and fire glimmered faintly in the dim light, binding Irwin to the stone pedestal at the center of the room. Her once-bright aura was muted, suppressed by the oppressive magic woven into the chains. Her head hung low, golden hair cascading over her face, hiding the determination brewing in her eyes.Valen stood to the side, his golden eyes gleaming with triumph as he watched her struggle. Beside him, Vendetta observed with a twisted smirk, her hands resting on the obsidian staff she wielded.โYou know sheโs still fighting,โ Vendetta remarked, her voice dripping with amusement. โBut itโs pointless. The chains are bound to her very soul. She wonโt break them.โValen tilted his head, a shadow of doubt crossing his face. โSh
