Bound to The Devilish Alpha

Five years ago. LYNEXIA Some may doubt that true love exists but my life is a testament to true love. From a young age, I met my soulmate. Despite being unaware that he was my mated partner we had an undeniable chemistry. Our first encounter was a page ripped out of a fairytale. It was love at first sight for us. We were a match made by the moon goddess. And today, I'm getting married to the love of my life. I look over the sea shimmering under the cloudless sky. The faint sound of laughter and music from the town of Shadow Pack drifts up the cliff.Fields of green stretch towards the horizon fitted with various colors of wildflowers in every corner. I'm draped in a crisp white wedding dress designed sparingly with intricate gemstones gifted to me by Dimitri. Today, I will be tying the knot with my first love and it should make my heart hammers with a joyous rhythm against my ribs. Yet, the chilling memory of the nightmare I had last night fills me with dread. I can't stop thin

LYNEXIA They say you can sense when someone is falling head over heels for you, but never when they start falling out of love for you until it's too late. One moment, Dimitri and I were so in love and hopeful about our future filled with dreams, laughter and joy. Then the war wreaked havoc, destroying and tearing the shadow pack apart, and the love me and Dimitri shares. Perhaps our love wasn't destined to withstand the test of war. Our love was born to fail from the beginning without the war.Everything started to go down the hill when I was taken captive by the Barbarians. I lived amongst them in captivity. The Barbarians were also with werewolf blood in the nation of Aethelgard that houses territories of Four werewolves pack. The shadow pack. The mooncrest pack. The moonstone pack. And the Barbarians, the blackstalker pack But while the Shadow pack was raised to see the good in everything and appreciate the nature, The Barbarians were raised with violence and unquenchable thirst

LYNEXIA Upon getting to the human world I was able to blend in. It was just like the werewolf world but without fangs and furs. A kind family, the Millers took in me and offered me a house in exchange for me working at their restaurant.Dimitri still haunts me up to this moment. I have come to terms with it that though our love didn't last forever, my love for him will never dim. I still think about my best friend, Zephyr. At the beginning of the war, we were both taken while the Barbarians returned me, they didn't do the same for my best friend. I hope that she has been found by now. Deep down, I hope the Barbarians aren't wreaking havoc anymore. Each day, my belly keeps growing and I keep counting down to my delivery day. It fills me with joy and happiness that I will meet my unborn child soon. Now, in my third trimester, every movement is a struggle. A groan escapes my lips as I lift a tray due to the pull in my swollen belly."I told you no more work!" Sarah, the woman who save

DIMITRI Another day, another string of bad events. Or, rather, this is the norm for me now ever since...I shake my head, forcing the unwelcome memory from my mind. No thinking about her. Not going to spare a thought about her. I didn't for five years and I won't start now. Keep deceiving yourself. A voice in my head clamors. Clenching my jaw, I force my attention back to the meeting. The meeting between Moonstone and Shadow pack. Five years ago, desperation drove me to ally with the the alpha of moonstone pack, Alpha Henry. Ever since then, there hasn't been a day I didn't regret my decision. Alpha Henry is notorious for his greediness and selfishness but I didn't have a choice then. It was the only way to drive out the barbarians. Henry's assistance came with a price. A quarter of the Shadow pack's gold.I fulfilled his demands immediately after the war ended. But Henry's request didn't end there. He started by making minor requests like relocating a few moonstone families into

LYNEXIA I jolt upright, my hands balling beside me into fists of rage. "Are you insane?" The fact that he has a condition attached to this appalls me, not to talk of the condition itself. Dimitri scratches his jaw leisurely as if he can't be bothered by my sudden outburst. His calm gaze tightens around my gut. He is so unfazed, almost bored while a stream of anger begs to be let out from me. He sighs and says with a bored tone. "Take it or leave it." My mouth falls agape in disbelief, and the space between my brows creases into a deep furrow. I can't believe that I'm witnessing this. "Take it or leave it?" I repeat. The words roll on my tongue like black tar. "This is your daughter, Dimitri. Our daughter. How can you have a condition tied to saving her?" A vein ticks in his jaws and briefly a flicker of something I can't decipher creases his face before his mask of indifference slides back into place. "Are you doing this to punish me? Teach me a lesson?" I ask, my voice cracking
