Bound by Blood: The Alpha's Forbidden Mate

Chapter 2 – Fated CollisionCia’s POVSweat trickled down my back, soaking into the fabric of my dress as I pressed my palms hard against my ears, desperate to block out the deafening sound of the bass. The club was suffocating, a chaotic mix of flashing lights, dancing bodies, sweat and intoxicating scents.I pushed through the thick crowd, panicking beneath my skin. Where the hell is Gabrielle?“Gabby!” I called out, but my voice drowned under the loud music.To my left, a girl spun on a silver pole, her movements slow, calculated, and very seductive. Her bra landed on a sprawling gambling table, her wicked grin cut across her face as she peeled off her panties and tossed them into the crowd of men hypnotised by her, their eyes glazed, drunk on lust and power.The stench of sweat, alcohol, and raw desire choked me. My stomach twisted and I almost puked. I needed to get out immediately. I went back to my seat and my trembling fingers scrambled for my phone. A message blinked across

Chapter 4: Shattered BondsCIA’S POVThe moment I stepped into the house, the scent hit me, rich, savory, mouthwatering. But beneath it, something else, something primal…his scent, laced with sandalwood and rain. It coiled around me, burrowing into my senses, claiming me silently. My wolf, Nira, stirred immediately, restless, prowling beneath my skin. Mate. The word burned through me, an ache, a need, a storm waiting to break.I paused in the hallway, my heart pounding wildly as my gaze landed on Ale. He was casually setting the table, sleeves rolled up, his muscles flexing with each graceful move. His focus, his care, it wasn’t just a dinner for me. “You cook now?” I teased, my voice barely steady.He looked up, and the pull hit me hard. His gaze locked onto mine, not just seeing me, but claiming me. The air thickened around us.Our mate, Nira purred, pacing with growing urgency. The bond is awakening.Ale’s steps toward me were slow, deliberate, his energy radiating a commanding pr

The Full Moon Festival.The night when the Garcia Pack abandoned all hierarchy. A sacred convergence of bloodlines where wolves, purebreds, half-bloods, and even rogues gathered beneath the blessing of the Moon Goddess. Tonight, they were equals and all that mattered was loyalty to the Alpha.But for Gabrielle, tonight was war.The bonfire roared in the center of the courtyard, sparks dancing into the night sky as wolves howled in celebration. The air pulsed with dominance, pheromones, and the ancient rhythm of the drums calling to the wild inside them.Her wolf quivered under her skin, restless but terrified.This is suicide, it whimpered. Turn back. Kneel. Submit.Gabrielle’s hands trembled against the fabric of her dress as she weaved through the crowd of shifting bodies. Her heartbeat pounded in her throat.What if they don’t believe me?What if I fail?What if Alejandro exposes me?Her wolf cowered inside her, whispering that this was a dangerous path. Approaching the Alpha and L

Chapter 8: Trapped Gabrielle’s POVMarco’s fist cracked across my cheek, and at that moment my vision became blurry and my head spun around making me dizzy. Pain exploded in my skull as I slammed into the stone wall, my knees buckling and I started bleeding from a cut I had just sustained from the fall. Unknown to me, that was not the only part bleeding.The taste of blood filled my entire mouth.“You filthy little rat.” His growl vibrated through the walls, a brutal echo shattering the serene ambiance of our secret love nest. His claws unsheathed, long, lethal, glinting under the moonlight.His hand clamped around my throat. Tightly crushing and gradually sniffing the life out of me. I clawed at his wrist, my legs kicking, my wolf inside me panicking, clawing to break free.“Please! Let me breathe.”“Please, don't kill me.” I kept pleading. “Were you eavesdropping on me?” His snarl rattled my bones. “I should rip your throat out and watch you bleed out like the worthless Omega

Chapter 10: The Truth That Broke EverythingNana’s voice faltered, a look in her eyes with the weight of unsaid horrors. "One day, after almost everyone had gone out, your father came home early. He called Elisabetta to bring his food to his room.""I thought nothing of it, because Elisabetta was like a daughter to Mr Rossi, and as such she had access to everything a daughter would have in her fathers house, which includes a loving father to daughter relationship. Until I saw Elisabetta come out of Mr Rossi's room an hour later, crying, blood staining the back of her dress."My breath snagged. "No…" I whispered."I followed her. Elisabetta broke down and told me your father had forced himself on her.She pleaded with him, but he didn't stop. And afterwards, he warned her to keep shut about what he had just done."The room spun around me. My ears rang.Nira snarled low, but she was so far, so faint, I barely heard her."I told her to run.” Nana continued almost like a whisper, “But sh
