The Darkness Takes Hold

Diva’s POV

The forest blurred around us as we ran.

My breath came in sharp gasps, my chest aching from more than exhaustion. The curse coiled inside me, pressing against my ribs, whispering in my ear.

Let go.

I clenched my fists. No.

Derek ran beside me, his golden eyes flicking to mine every few seconds, like he was afraid I’d collapse—or worse—lose control.

Alec led the way, silent. Focused. Not looking back.

Because we all knew the truth.

If I gave in to the power inside me…

There would be nothing left of me.

---

The Elders’ Judgment

The Elder’s Keep loomed ahead, carved into the mountain itself, its towering gates covered in ancient runes.

The moment we stepped inside, I felt it.

A weight pushing down on me.

The air here was different—alive.

Torches burned with blue flames, lining a long stone hall that led to five figures.

The Elders.

They sat on throne-like chairs, faces hidden beneath deep hoods. Their power hummed in the air, ancient and unreadable.

One of them spoke, their vo

  • Bound To The Fearful Alpha    The Devil In Her Blood

    Derek’s golden eyes locked onto mine.But something was wrong.Something cold.His grip on my wrist was tight—too tight. Like he was holding onto something that might slip through his fingers. Like he was trying to convince himself I was still the woman he knew.His chest heaved, his muscles tight beneath his torn shirt. Blood streaked his lips, but he didn’t seem to feel the pain.Because he was too busy looking at me like I was a stranger.Like I was the enemy.A sharp, ice-cold panic surged through me. “Derek, it’s me.”He flinched.I reached for him—instinct, desperation—but he stepped back like my touch burned him.The breath caught in my throat.No.No, no, no.This wasn’t happening.I took another step forward. “Please.”His hands clenched into fists. His breathing was too fast, too uneven. And his eyes—They had never looked at me with fear.Not until now.“What did you do?” His voice was hoarse, almost broken.I opened my mouth, but I had no answer.Because deep down, I alrea

  • Bound To The Fearful Alpha    The Devil's Claim

    Ronan’s fingers tightened around my throat. Cold. Unrelenting.I clawed at his wrist, twisting, kicking—nothing.He didn’t even flinch.He only smiled.“I missed you, little wolf,” he murmured. “Did you miss me?”His voice was a whisper of silk over steel. A noose disguised as comfort.I tried to shift. Tried to call my wolf.Nothing.An empty void sat where my wolf should have been.Panic clawed up my ribs. “What did you do to me?”Ronan tilted his head, watching me like a wolf admiring a wounded deer.“I didn’t do anything,” he said. “This… this is all you.”I gasped as black mist curled around my hands, twisting up my arms like living shadows.No.No, no, no—I willed it to stop. It didn’t.The darkness only grew. Tightened. Wrapped around me like a lover’s embrace.Ronan’s lips curved. “You’re finally waking up.”Something inside me snapped.I lashed out, my foot slamming into his ribs.He grunted, his grip loosening just enough for me to break free.I staggered back, sucking in s

  • Bound To The Fearful Alpha    A Choice Made In Darkness

    The forest pressed in around me, thick with silence.The wind carried a warning, a whisper against my skin.I should turn back.I didn’t.I kept moving, step after step, deeper into the unknown. I had made my choice.Find Ronan. Get answers. Before it’s too late.The black mist curled around my fingers again, restless. Hungry.I clenched my fists. It flickered, resisting me before it faded.Not gone. Just waiting.I swallowed hard.Something inside me was changing.And I didn’t know if I could stop it.—A sound behind me.A rustling. Steady. Measured.Not Ronan.But familiar.Derek.The scent of him hit me before I turned.He emerged from the trees, his frame tall, rigid, his golden eyes burning with something I didn’t want to name.Anger.Frustration.Relief.And something else—something worse.I exhaled slowly. “You shouldn’t be here.”Derek’s jaw clenched. “Neither should you.”His voice was rough, edged with something raw.I crossed my arms, keeping my face neutral. “Did Alec sen

  • Bound To The Fearful Alpha    The Cage You Walked Into

    The forest was silent.Too silent.The deeper I went, the more the night closed in. The trees seemed taller, darker—watching. Or maybe that was just the paranoia curling around my ribs.The black mist flickered at my fingertips again, restless, eager. It knew.It sensed what I was heading toward.Ronan.The name sent something sharp through me—anger, fear, something deeper I didn’t want to name.I needed to find him. Needed answers. Needed to understand what I was becoming.Derek’s voice echoed in my mind—his warnings, his doubt.I shoved them aside.I couldn’t afford hesitation.Not now.Then—the wind shifted.A scent. Familiar.Not Ronan.Someone else.I stopped. Tensed.A presence.Then—“You’re a fool to come here alone.”A deep, taunting voice.My heart clenched. I turned sharply, muscles coiling, ready to attack.Lukas.Ronan’s executioner. His shadow.The man who had once hunted me down like prey.He stepped out of the darkness, moonlight catching on the sharp angles of his fac

  • Bound To The Fearful Alpha    The Queen's Reckoning

    Diva’s POV"Welcome home, little wolf."The words slithered over my skin, wrapping around me like a second set of chains.I stared at Ronan, my pulse roaring in my ears. The black mist coiled around my wrists, inching toward him like it knew him. Like it recognized him.No.I wasn’t his.I yanked at the restraints, ignoring the burn in my wrists. “You think I belong here?” My voice was raw but firm.Ronan tilted his head, eyes gleaming with quiet amusement. “You don’t see it yet, do you?”A slow, creeping smile. “This power in you… it was never meant for Derek. It was never meant for your old life.”I gritted my teeth. “You’re wrong.”He stepped closer, golden gaze steady. “Then why does it respond to me so easily?”The mist shuddered, trembling in my grip, pulled between us. Betraying me.I clenched my fists. “You’re manipulating it.”Ronan chuckled. “Or maybe… it knows its true master.”A cold chill raced down my spine.No.That wasn’t possible.This power—**my power—**was mine alon

  • Bound To The Fearful Alpha    The Breaking Point

    Diva’s POVThe battle was a storm.Claws, fangs, and the scent of blood filled the air. Wolves tore into each other, their growls echoing off the stone walls. Every strike sent a shockwave through the chamber.Derek fought like he was made of rage and fire.Every movement was lethal. Every strike meant to kill.But so was Ronan.Their blows were brutal, bone-breaking. Derek’s claws slashed deep across Ronan’s chest, and for a moment, I thought—this is it.Then Ronan laughed.A cruel, twisted sound.My stomach twisted.Derek lunged again. They clashed mid-air, their bodies colliding with a force that shook the very ground beneath us.I yanked against my chains, pain searing through my wrists. I had to help him.A shadow moved toward me.Lukas.His lip curled into a smirk, but I saw the hesitation in his eyes."Still want to fight?" he murmured.I bared my teeth. "Try me."Lukas sighed, almost regretful. Then he raised a dagger.Silver.My heart lurched.He aimed for my shoulder, but I

  • Bound To The Fearful Alpha    The First Alpha

    Diva’s POVThe silence after the battle felt too loud.Derek held me, his heartbeat strong beneath my cheek. Warm. Solid. Alive.But something had shifted inside me.The power I’d unleashed still lingered beneath my skin, pulsing like a second heartbeat. It wasn’t fading. It wasn’t done.And neither was Ronan.He hadn’t lost.He had wanted this.Derek’s fingers brushed against my jaw, tilting my face up. “You with me?”I swallowed hard. “Yeah.”His eyes searched mine, golden and fierce, but beneath the fire, I saw it—the flicker of doubt.Not in me.For me.The sound of footsteps snapped our attention toward the shadows.Lukas.Bloodied, exhausted, his usual arrogance dulled. His gaze flicked between us before settling on me.“I didn’t know he’d do that,” he muttered.Derek stiffened beside me, his voice a low growl. “You helped him.”Lukas raised his hands, wincing. “I didn’t have a choice.”I crossed my arms. “Why should we believe you?”Lukas exhaled sharply. “Because I know where

  • Bound To The Fearful Alpha    The Heir To The Darkness

    Diva’s POVThe silence after the battle was unbearable.The ruins still reeked of blood, of burnt magic, of something unholy.Derek’s arms were wrapped around me, his grip solid. I clung to him, to his warmth, to the reality of him being alive.But the way he looked at me—Like I was different.Like I wasn’t just Diva anymore.And maybe I wasn’t.The power I had unleashed still pulsed beneath my skin, whispering, curling, waiting. It had listened to me. Obeyed.And it wasn’t gone.A groan pulled me from my thoughts.Lukas.He staggered to his feet, face pale, his usual cocky smirk nowhere to be found.“Well,” he muttered, running a hand through his blood-matted hair. “That was… horrifying.”Derek ignored him. His golden eyes were locked on me. Searching. Questioning.I could feel what he wasn’t saying.What are you?I took a shaky step back. Derek’s hands dropped from my arms. The loss of his touch sent a chill through me.“I—” My voice cracked. “Is it really over?”Derek’s jaw tighte

  • Bound To The Fearful Alpha    The Echoes of Shadows

    The relic was gone.Derek looked at the shattered pieces of the obsidian box, its jagged rim catching a faint glint from the fading light. It had once vibrated with promise. Now, it vibrated with nothing. Mira was standing next to him, her hand against his arm in a shaking motion. She didn't say anything. There was nothing to say.The silence after the storm was always so loud.They stood within the clearing where it had begun—or ended. The wind shifted oddly, bringing with it the scent of ash and something far older.Eamon knelt at the perimeter of the shattered circle, eyes closed, lips moving in the darkness. Prayers to gods they no longer wanted to believe in. Behind him, the surviving warriors of the old alliance stood silent ranks. Bruised, battered, broken—but not bent."She's gone," Derek finally breathed.No, Mira whispered, her voice shaking. "Not gone. Changed."The words hung in the air like a query no one knew how to respond.---It had all transpired so suddenly. One mom

  • Bound To The Fearful Alpha    DEREK'S BOND

    They left the forest behind, though it hung on their heels in every nightmare. The world was lighter—the curse was undone—but Diva and Derek walked in darkness. Their coming together was strained, and every look held the anguish of what they'd lost. Farmers bowed their heads in silent thanks. Children smiled when they saw any troops who had protected them. Life continued.That night, camped by a lake, Eamon appeared at Diva. "There is a city devastated, far to the east—Arknor. There is a relic there that has the power to restore bonds torn apart by darkness. You and Derek will go there."Diva's heart jumped. Eamon nodded. "But you will not go alone."Derek's eyes snapped up. "I'm going.""No," Eamon shook his head. "This relic is dangerous. You two will not be together when you go in and retrieve it."Diva stared at him in horror. "Why?"Eamon's eyes were compassionate. "Because it demands unity of purpose. Not of heart. If you are bound by love, the relic will refuse you."Derek's f

    They rode hard.The woods darkened. The sky chilled. Magic writhed awry.Half-way through, they were ambushed.Not by soldiers. By illusions. Memories embodied.Diva battled her mother's ghost. Weeping. Bleeding. Accusing."You let your sister die. You chased your pride."Derek saw his former pack. Their deaths. Their screams.Eamon relived the fight he lost to save his temple.Each memory warped their ability. Pulled on old wounds.But Diva clenched her fists. "This isn’t real."She flung raw truth outward. Light from her core.The illusions shattered.---At the edge of the northern pass stood the ruins of a forgotten city. Smoke curled from its towers. Shadows roamed its streets.And on a throne of bones, Ronan sat.Older. Scarred. Smiling."Welcome, children," he said. "Come to see your god?"Diva stepped forward. "You’re no god. You’re a coward hiding behind lies.""Lies?" he laughed. "No, girl. I gave your world meaning. Without me, you're nothing but beasts chasing after the mo

  • Bound To The Fearful Alpha    THE FINAL ECLIPSE

    Suddenly, a thundery roar resounded out from inside the earth, and the floor beneath their feet shook. Slivers of stone spattered every way across the ground, and an eyeburn-ing light flared out out of the abyss before them, so that they protected their faces with their arms. From the light stepped a figure shrouded in darkness, its form rippling and flowing like smoke. Diva's breath stopped in her throat as the figure advanced, and a face familiar yet strange burst out. "Liora," she breathed, horror and astonishment mingling in her voice. The figure snarled, her eyes burning with malice. "Surprised to see me, sister?" Diva's head spun trying to understand the impossible. Liora had been consumed by the darkness, submerged by the same force that they fought against today. Yet here she was before them, upright, fiercer and deadlier than she ever was. "You would have stayed hidden if you'd kept your distance," Diva snarled, her voice holding strong above the chaos raging within. "W

  • Bound To The Fearful Alpha    The Echoed Flame

    The council chamber trembled with the weight of silence. Weapons were drawn, and the flickering truth-flame cast eerie shadows across the faces of the gathered leaders. In the doorway stood the woman who wore Diva’s face like a mask—a reflection twisted by darkness, a mirror to her light.Liora.Diva stepped forward, her heart pounding against her ribs like a war drum. She searched the woman’s features for some sign of doubt, of remorse, of shared memory. But there was none.Only cold triumph."How are you alive?" Diva asked, her voice barely above a whisper.Liora tilted her head with mock curiosity. "Alive? No, sister. I was never given the chance to live. You were chosen. I was cast aside. But the shadows welcomed me. They nurtured what the light rejected.” "She was a stillborn," Lady Mira murmured behind Diva. "The midwives said the second child was lost.""Not lost," Liora replied, her smile chilling. "Given. Offered. A sacrifice to the old powers that slumber beneath this world

  • Bound To The Fearful Alpha     The Gathering Storm

    The atmosphere in the cave was filled with an odd energy, the pieces of light glowing gently around Diva. Her fingers trembled as she placed a touch on each piece of light, memories flooding into her head—moments of loss, sacrifice, and love. Every piece of light pulsed with a portion of her own soul, bridging her past and future. "The enemy won't wait."Eamon nodded gravely."There are still pieces that must be found. Each is essential to the ritual. Without them, we stand no chance against the darkness."They stepped out of the cavern, the first light of day sending long shadows over the ground. The keep was abuzz with preparation, warriors hurrying to prepare for the upcoming wars. Diva's pride swelled with fear; they were eager to fight, but at a high price.When they walked along the corridors, the groundquake shook their feet. Screams were heard as if from behind the east wall. Diva and Derek exchanged glances before they sprinted in the direction they came from.They careened i

  • Bound To The Fearful Alpha    The Shattered Dawn

    Diva's heart thudded in her ears as she sprinted through the broken gate of the devastated courtyard. Dawn light fought through the dark clouds to cast a deserted battlefield strewn in chaos. Wolves—her loyal pack—poured rapidly around her, their eyes blazing with determination, but in their trail, a wire of tension crackled like lightning. Every step echoed with the urgency of a last stand. Abruptly, without precursor, a low, rasping bellow shredded the air. From ruin and wreckage, the foe appeared—faces twisted by shadow and terror. In this instant, Diva seized her sword in white-knuckled resolve. She rushed forward like a flood, fluid and untamed in action. Her cry, tempered from sheer will, rang out, "For the light and for our future!" The voice itself was a vow that the very darkness looming could not consume. Derek, bloody and marred but with the flame of a true Alpha still burning fierce inside him, stood beside her. His battle-worn eyes blazed like a guardian's whenever they c

  • Bound To The Fearful Alpha    The Veil of Retribution

    The eyes of Diva flew wide as war disappeared into heavy silence. She shuddered in released energy everywhere she looked out over Chapter 83's field of war. The walls of the fortress reverberated with the din of old wars, and broken stone at every splintered pillar reverberated with the history of pain and suffering. But here in the heavy stillness, another noise erupted—a thudding, pounding boom out of the depths of darkness. Her own heart boomed like a mad drum as she moved ahead, her bare feet squelching through rain-sodden passage. Memory of betrayal surrounded her, of hope betrayed that still smoldered beneath. For every step there was the wordless cry of rage and fierce hope that had driven her this far.His resolute and confident eyes now sparkled with uncertainty. She could feel the unspoken anguish from his eyes—a mix of frustration and helplessness—as if their mutual burden of fate had finally begun to break him from the pretence. Each spasm of the enemy lurking in the darkne

  • Bound To The Fearful Alpha    Shadows Of Betrayal

    Diva closed her eyes and breathed. The process was agonizing—a flood of memories, loss, grief, images, and love threatened to overwhelm her. She wept, the anguish running through her like an arrow. With each tear she wept, something else retreated into hiding. Finally, her heart and spirit opened to show a seething, raw energy that ran through her, full to brimming from the depths within. As she opened her eyes, they glowed with focus and determination. "I am ready to fight for our future," she murmured. As if on cue, the war horns of the enemy rang in the distance. The pack was getting ready to make one final push. Time was short. Diva stepped into the room, moving with slow determination. Derek stood waiting, his gaze sweeping hers with a silent vow and a fear. For a moment, as the initial light of morning sliced through darkness, their union stood whole and unbroken amidst all the earlier trials. "Both of us," Derek whispered, voice soft and obstinate. "Together," she repeated once
