Dark Chains: Bound by Fate & Passion

Lisa's POV“Hasten up, Lisa, Time is not on our side!” My father’s voice echoed through the hallway, sending chills down my spine as I dressed up. Today is the day, I’ve been waiting for, my mating ceremony day and I would not allow my dad's hasty spirit and thick voice distract me from making up as I desired."I'm coming dad, just a minute." At least, I felt this response should cool him down abit.My dad is the beta leader of my pack, the Umbra pack.Ever since I was a kid, after my mum's tragic death, I was set to be the bride of another pack when I turned eighteen, and my 18th birthday was four days ago.My fiancee to be is the future leader of his pack, a very strong alpha. Alpha Cole of the Redmoon pack.“Lizzy?” I heard my dad's thick voice call out from behind me as I turned to face him. I tried to hide my panic, but my face betrayed me. “I thought you said just a minute? But it's over a minute now and you are still not ready.” He said as he care

Lisa's POVI could barely take my eyes off the man who emerged victorious, my body trembling with fear of what was to come."fascinating, isn’t it?" Cole’s voice snapped me out of my thoughts. I bit hard on my lips, swallowing the sobs threatening to escape as I turned to face the heartless alpha."I am no one’s property. You aren’t going to give me to him to use my body however he pleases," I spat, my voice sharp with defiance.Cole only chuckled. "Funny, you still have the nerve to talk back at me. One more act of defiance, and I’ll let all my fighters have you for entertainment."A violent shudder ran through me, my spine locking up at the mere thought of being forced into something so vile. But before I could dwell on the horror of his words, a low snarl caught my attention.The champion still stood in the field, his body bound by thick silver chains meant to restrain him. Even with his fresh wounds, I was stunned by his strength as he thrashed wildly,

Lisa's POVThe journey into the woods didn't seem to end. My legs screamed with every step, muscles burning from hours of running. Beside me, Derek’s breaths came in fast bursts. The rut was catching up with him, I could see it in the tension of his shoulders, the way his pace faltered. My own exhaustion dragged at me like a weight, slowing us both until we stopped running and started walking. Just when I thought I’d collapse, I sighted a small hut ahead, beside the hut was a gushing stream.“Do you think we lost them?” I asked, my voice low, barely above a whisper.Derek didn’t answer. He walked toward the stream, dropping to his knees on, and plunged his hands into the water, scooping it up to his mouth. I watched, rooted to the spot, as it spilled over his lips and down his throat. After a long moment, he sat back on his heels, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand. “We should be safe here for the night, little wolf,” he said, his voice rough and

Lisa's POVTheir eyes glowed blue, and their growls vibrated through the wooden walls. My heart slammed against my ribs, the afterglow of Derek’s touch snuffed out by cold fear. I froze, clutching the spare cloth tighter around my trembling body.“Run, little wolf,” Derek barked, his voice sharp with urgency. “Through the window. Now.”I didn’t hesitate. My legs moved before my mind caught up, stumbling toward the open window as Derek’s body began to shift behind me. I caught a glimpse of him, bones cracking, black fur sprouting over his skin, his red eyes blazing as he moved toward the intruders. The last thing I saw was his massive wolf form slamming into one of them, claws slashing through the air in the hut. Then I was scrambling over the rim, my hands scraping against splintered wood.I landed hard outside, my left leg buckling beneath me as I hit the ground. Pain shot through my shin, and I bit down a cry, wincing as I dragged myself up. Blood t

Lisa's POVThe three rogues came closer, their chuckles loud and mocking. My heart pounded, fear mixing with something new, a strange tug in my stomach, like energy waking up. I froze, my hands still on my hips, legs trembling but rooted in place.A voice spoke inside me, soft but firm. “Let me handle them for you, Lisa. I’m finally awake.”I blinked, shocked. A voice? Inside me? Before I could think, my body started to change. Heat surged through me, burning under my skin. White fur sprouted over my arms, my fingers stretched into claws, fangs pushed out of my gums, and my bones snapped, reshaping. I gasped, dropping to my knees as the shift took over. When it stopped, I stood taller, stronger, a white werewolf, my fur glowing under the moonlight.The rogues stopped dead, eyes wide. “I thought white werewolves were extinct,” one stammered, stepping back.“White or not, she can’t take all twelve of us down,” another growled. He was bigger, his voice coc
