“I just wish everything would go back to normal,” I confessed, feeling the weight of my emotions press down on me. “I didn’t ask for any of this to happen.”

Zane nodded, his expression thoughtful. “None of us did, but this is now part of your story. How you handle it defines you, Avery.”

“Intense words for a playboy Alpha,” I teased lightly, a smile breaking through my despair as I recalled his reputation.

He chuckled, a deep, warm sound that reverberated through the air. “Believe it or not, there’s more to me than just my reputation. I’ve had my share of struggles.”

“What kind of struggles?” I ventured, curiously peeking into the man behind the title.

Zane’s eyes took on a distant look as he reflected. “I’ve faced my own tragedies and losses. Learning what’s really important requires time. I failed to cherish someone dear to me, thinking I had all the time in the world.”

“Is that why you…never seemed to settle down?” I asked tentatively. “Because you were afraid?”

“Perhaps. It can be

  • Bound To My Alpha Mate    Change of mind

    Craig's POV "I cannot let this happen another day, I have to face up to my past, even if that means facing them." I stood up and clenched my jaw. Carolina stared at me in surprise, her eyes wide. "What are you talking about? You know how dangerous that is out there." She scrambled up and yanked my hand, a sense of desperation in the way she spoke. "No, I have made up my mind, Carolina. I have to do what is right. Avery never deserved this and I should have faced Zane head on. I will not sit by and continue to feel like a coward." I scrunched my fists tightly that my knuckles almost turned white. I was more sure than I had ever been before. This was it now. My entire life had been nothing but a darn lie and it was time to put things right. Once and for all. "It is far to dangerous, he will kill you." Carolina started to panic, her eyes filled with tears. I sighed and shook my head. Iknew that this would be hard for her to accept. But my mind was already made up. I could feel the

  • Bound To My Alpha Mate    Darkness

    The room seemed to hold its breath, the storm outside echoing the tumult inside Zane’s mind. His trembling fingers tightened around ours for a moment before loosening, as if testing the strength of his own resolve. The flicker of hope in his eyes grew brighter, flickering like a fragile flame that refused to be extinguished, no matter how fierce the wind.Avery’s hand lingered on his shoulder, her presence a steady anchor amid the chaos. “You’re not alone in this,” she repeated softly, her voice filled with unwavering conviction. “We’ve faced darkness before, and we’ve come out stronger. You can too.”Zane’s lips quivered, a silent acknowledgment that he was listening, that he was trying to believe. His shoulders sagged, but there was a faint, almost imperceptible nod—a small surrender to the possibility of healing, of redemption.I looked into his eyes, seeing the faintest glimmer of something familiar—resilience buried beneath layers of pain. “Remember the light you carry inside,” I

  • Bound To My Alpha Mate    With you

    The room remained silent for long, heavy moments, the only sound the steady drumming of rain against the windows and the distant rumble of thunder. Outside, the storm showed no signs of relenting, but inside, a different tempest was slowly beginning to settle—a fragile, tentative calm that hovered on the edge of something greater.Zane’s trembling figure on the floor seemed smaller, more vulnerable than I’d ever seen him. His shoulders shook as he fought to control his breath, tears streaking down his dirt-streaked face, remnants of the chaos that had engulfed him. The darkness that had been clawing at his soul clung stubbornly, shadowing his expression with despair and hopelessness. It was as if he had been swallowed whole by the storm within, lost in a labyrinth of pain and regret.Avery’s trembling figure nearby caught my eye. She looked exhausted, her face streaked with dirt and tears, but her eyes shone with a fierce determination. Despite her fragile appearance, she was the anch

  • Bound To My Alpha Mate    Avery

    The rain continued to pour outside, a relentless torrent that seemed to echo the storm raging within us. Every strike, every block, felt amplified by the thunder overhead, a symphony of chaos that threatened to drown out reason. Zane’s fists were a blur, fueled by anger and heartbreak, but I held my ground, refusing to give in to the fury that threatened to consume us both.In the corner, Avery’s trembling figure caught my eye—her face streaked with dirt and tears, yet alive. I could see her fighting to stay strong, to hold onto hope. Her presence was a fragile anchor amidst the chaos, a reminder of what we were fighting for.Zane’s attacks grew more vicious, each one laced with pain and betrayal. I knew beneath that rage was a man broken, lost in the darkness he’d willingly embraced. I had to reach him—before it was too late.“Zane!” I shouted, voice hoarse but resolute. “Remember who you are! This isn’t you! Fight it!”For a moment, his eyes flickered with recognition—just a flicker

  • Bound To My Alpha Mate    A blur

    Craig’s POV The rain hammered down harder, each drop a percussion of chaos echoing in my ears. Lightning flashed across the sky, illuminating the twisted shadows of the forest around us. Every step felt heavier, as if the storm itself sought to hold me back, to drown out my resolve.Carolina’s grip remained firm on my arm, her breath ragged but determined. I could feel her fear — but also her fierce loyalty. She believed in this fight, in Avery, in us. And that belief fueled my own resolve.Ahead, the dark outline of Zane’s domain loomed—an abandoned cabin silhouetted against the storm, windows like hollow eyes staring into the abyss. That’s where Avery was. I could feel it in my bones. I could sense her presence, faint but persistent, like a whisper carried on the wind.Marcus’s voice echoed in my mind—his words about darkness, about lines crossed. I knew he was right in some ways. Zane had gone too far, spiraling into something unrecognizable. But I also knew that if I hesitated no

  • Bound To My Alpha Mate    Stop

    Craig’s POV Suddenly, a deep voice cut through the storm’s chaos, resonant and commanding. “Stop right there.”I froze, heart pounding, as a figure stepped out from the shadows—a towering man, broad and weathered, eyes blazing with authority and warning. His presence was like a wall of steel, unyielding and intimidating.“Who are you?” I demanded, voice wary, tightening my grip on Carolina.The man’s gaze shifted to me, then to Mira with a mixture of recognition and disdain. “I’m Marcus,” he said, voice gravelly. “Zane’s father. And I won’t let you pass.”Mira stiffened, defensive. “He’s just trying to find Avery,” she said quickly. “He means no harm.”Marcus’s eyes flicked to me, then to Carolina, assessing. “Avery is gone because Zane took her,” he said grimly. “And I’ve spent years trying to keep what’s left of this place from tearing itself apart. I won’t let Zane’s reckless obsession drag us all into chaos.”I clenched my fists. “I need to see him. Zane’s my brother. I have to s
