The rain hammered down in relentless sheets, turning the forest into a slipping, shifting mess of mud and water. The tall, twisted trees around us seemed to lean in closer, their branches dripping and creaking under the weight of the storm. Every crack of a twig or rustle of leaves sounded deafening, amplified by the storm’s fury. It was chaos—nature’s own alarm, but it worked in our favor, masking most of our movements in the deafening rain.

My boots squished fiercely into the muddy earth, each step a delicate balance of silence and caution. I kept low, muscles tense, heart pounding in my chest like a drum. Carolina was behind me, her breath shallow, eyes flickering between the shadows and the darkened path ahead. Her grip on her coat was white-knuckled, trembling from the cold and something else—fear, maybe. Or maybe just the weight of what we were about to do.

  • Bound To My Alpha Mate    Baby

    Zane’s POVThe first light of dawn slipped softly through the curtains, casting a warm, amber hue across the room. The quiet hum of the city outside was just faint enough to be a distant murmur—no hustle, no chaos, just the gentle rhythm of morning settling in. I lay there, still and silent, watching Avery sleep. Her face was peaceful, her brow smooth, her lips parted slightly as she breathed in steady, even breaths. For a moment, I allowed myself to simply take in the serenity of her—this rare, fragile calm that had settled between us after everything we’d been through.Her hand rested lightly on her belly, fingers splayed out as if trying to hold onto something precious. I watched her, my gaze softening as I felt her warmth, her quiet resolve. There was a stillness in her that I hadn’t seen before, a vulnerability that made my chest tighten. She looked so small and vulnerable in that moment, yet there was an undeniable strength in her—something fierce that refused to break, even in

  • Bound To My Alpha Mate    Lurking

    Avery's POV The quiet lingered between us, filled only by the faint sound of my ragged breathing and the distant hum of the night outside. For a moment, I allowed myself to simply exist in that fragile space—held, protected, and painfully aware of the shadows still lurking just beyond reach.Zane’s hand stayed warm against my face, his thumb still softly brushing my skin. His presence was a steady anchor, grounding me in a way words never could. I looked into his eyes, searching for the reassurance I desperately needed, and found it there—steadfast, unwavering.“Tell me,” I whispered, voice trembling but determined. “What’s really going on? With them—Carolina and Craig. Why do I keep seeing their faces? What am I missing?”He hesitated for a moment, his brow furrowing as if weighing the right words carefully. Then he exhaled slowly, his gaze softening with something like regret.“I don’t have all the answers,” he admitted quietly. “But I know they’re tied to something bigger than you

  • Bound To My Alpha Mate    Haunted by their faces

    Avery's POV The room was heavy with silence, thick enough to almost suffocate me, yet strangely comforting in its stillness. My trembling hand clutched the sheets, trying to steady the storm raging inside me. The nightmare’s shadows still flickered behind my eyelids, haunting me like stubborn ghosts refusing to fade. I could still see Carolina’s terrified face, hear her desperate whispers—so real, so vivid—and Craig’s furious, anguished eyes burning into my mind.Zane’s hand was warm and grounding on my shoulder, a steady presence amidst the chaos. His touch was familiar—calm and reassuring—and I found myself instinctively leaning into it, desperate for the anchor he offered. I took a shallow breath, trying to push back the waves of fear that threatened to drown me again.“Thanks,” I managed, my voice trembling as I spoke into the quiet darkness. “I don’t know what I would’ve done without you.”His grip tightened just slightly, a silent reassurance. “You’re not alone in this,” he sai

  • Bound To My Alpha Mate    You can't escape

    Avery's POV The nightmare stretched on, the forest dissolving into an ocean of swirling mist and shadow. The ground beneath my feet shifted like quicksand, pulling me deeper into the darkness. The distant screams of Carolina echoed faintly, muffled and distorted, as if submerged beneath icy water.Suddenly, the air grew colder still, and a heavy fog parted to reveal a narrow, winding path lit by flickering, ghostly lanterns. Each step I took felt weightless, as if I were floating—adrift in a liminal space between reality and nightmare.Ahead, a figure emerged—a tall, cloaked woman with hair flowing like black silk, her face obscured by a porcelain mask cracked and stained with age. She beckoned softly, her voice a whisper that cut through the silence:“Come closer... you’ve been waiting for this.”As I hesitated, the ground trembled beneath me, and the scene shifted again. I was now standing at the edge of a vast, desolate plain, where the sky churned with dark, swirling clouds. A si

  • Bound To My Alpha Mate    Nothing but the wind

    The silence in the room stretched unbearably, thick with dread. My trembling hands clutched the sheets as if holding onto a fragile thread of sanity. The shadows seemed to deepen, twisting and flickering at the edges of my vision, whispering secrets I couldn’t quite hear but felt in my bones.Suddenly, a faint, deliberate tapping echoed against the windowpane—a slow, rhythmic pattern that sent a jolt through my body. My eyes darted toward the glass, heart pounding like a drum in a storm.“Did you hear that?” I whispered, voice trembling with a mixture of fear and hope.The doctor moved cautiously toward the window, gaze fixed on the dark outside. “Probably just a branch,” he said softly, trying to reassure. “Or the wind.”But I knew better. I could feel it in my bones—this wasn’t the wind. Something was there. Waiting.The tapping stopped abruptly. An oppressive silence fell over the room, thick as fog. I held my breath, listening—waiting.Then, a whisper, faint but unmistakable, drif
