Lisa's POV

The 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

    Lisa's POVThe name itself sent a cold shiver down my spine.“What do you mean by death valley?” I asked, my voice quieter than I intended.Derek didn’t answer immediately. He crouched low, brushing his fingers over the damp soil, then sniffed the air. His expression hardened. “It's a cursed route,” he muttered. “a graveyard for any supernatural being that dares to cross it, even witches.”My stomach tightened. “You brought us here on purpose?”He straightened, eyes flicking to mine. “No. We didn’t have a choice. This is the fastest route to get beyond their reach. If we turn back, those demons, or worse, will find us before nightfall.”I didn’t like it. Every instinct in me screamed that this place was wrong. I tried to calm my pounding heart.“Derek,” I stepped closer. “What if there are more creatures here? What if what we see in this valley is far more cruel than the ones we saw in the forest?”“Like I said, we don't have a choice,” he cut me off, his vo

  • Dark Chains: Bound by Fate & Passion   Chapter 27

    Lisa's POVI could not take one single step. My legs felt anchored there, into the wet earth, and froze at the sight of those green-eyed beasts.My claws twitched a little, but my body could not respond. I could barely take breath as I was looking at them."Lisa." The name echoed through the haze, sharp and authoritative.I slowly turned my head. In the meantime, Derek had reached to stand right next to me, his body tautly hard, his eyes dark with moods brewing.He saw them, the ugly looking forest demons hiding behind the trees; their glowing eyes locked on us.And without ever seeing hesitation, Derek shifted.The sickening sound of bones snapping, skin tearing, and rebirthing into fur sent an icy shiver up my spine.I have seen him shift once or twice, but never like this. Never with such swiftness. It was akin to watching some wild thing tear itself free from a maw. His wolf stood taller, darker, more terrifying than I remembered: Muscles rippled underneath the thic

    Lisa's POVMy scream caught in my throat. The canoe rocked hard. Water splashed into it. Derek grabbed the sides to steady it, his eyes scanning the water fast.“What was that?” I whispered, heart racing.He didn’t answer right away. His jaw clenched tight. “Something’s under us.”I looked into the water, but all I saw was our reflection shaking with the ripples. The river was dark now, deep and wide, and everything around us suddenly felt colder.“Derek?” I said again, my voice thin.He didn’t blink. “Hold onto the canoe. No matter what, don’t fall in.”Another hit came, this time from the other side. We both leaned to balance it, but I was shaking too much to stay calm.Then I heard the same voices again. They were whispers, and louder this time around.I held onto the wooden edge with both hands. “They followed us! The magic, it's still here.”Derek’s eyes turned sharp, red flickering like fire in them. “They shouldn’t be able to follow us on the river.”“Well,

  • Dark Chains: Bound by Fate & Passion   chapter 25

    Lisa's POVI walked down to the river and had a quick bath. The water was cold, but I didn’t mind. My body still felt weird after everything that happened. When I came back, Derek was already sitting by a fire, roasting a deer. I had no idea how he caught it so fast. My eyes widened. "You caught that?" I asked, stepping closer.He didn’t look at me. Just turned the stick the meat was on."Yeah. Saw it when I was out earlier. Figured we needed food."I didn’t ask how. I didn’t want to know. He always did things I couldn’t explain."You can eat," he said. "I need to bathe."And with that, he stood up, wiped his hands on his pants, and walked toward the river. I watched him go. His back muscles moved like ropes under his skin. I sat beside the fire, picked a piece of the roasted deer, and started eating slowly. It tasted better than I expected. I guessed I was just very hungry.But then something strange started happening.I began to hear voices. Soft whispers.

  • Dark Chains: Bound by Fate & Passion   chapter 24

    Lisa's POVI had the worst dream of my life.Derek was standing in the middle of a village, blood dripping from his claws, and bodies scattered around him. Women, children, old men… all of them. Slaughtered. Their eyes were still open, staring at nothing. Their mouths frozen in screams. Derek didn’t flinch. He walked through the corpses like they were dirt, his red eyes glowing, his skin covered in blood. And then, he looked at me."You’ll be next," he whispered, and smiled.I screamed.The sound of my own voice jolted me awake. I sat up with a gasp, heart pounding against my ribs. My skin was clammy with sweat, and for a moment I couldn’t tell if I was still in the dream or not.The sun hadn’t risen yet, but the sky was already turning pale. Early morning light spilled softly over the trees. Everything was still. I didn’t move. I couldn’t. My limbs felt numb, heavy. I stared at my hands, flexed them slowly, but it was like I wasn’t in my body. Was it the mark? Was it doing

  • Dark Chains: Bound by Fate & Passion   Chapter 23

    Lisa's POVDerek turned to me, his voice calm but firm. “You should bathe in the river. It’ll help. Wash the dirt and blood off. The water’s clean.”I hesitated. My eyes scanned the clearing warily. “What if Alex’s men catch up with us here? This place is too open.”He looked at me, eyes sharp and sure. “Don’t worry about that. It’s my turn to watch. If there’s more trouble than we can handle, we’ll swim through the river and vanish. No one can follow us that way.”I bit my bottom lip, weighing the risk. A cold wind brushed against my damp clothes, reminding me of the filth clinging to my skin. Finally, I nodded. “Okay. But don’t look.”He smirked. “I’ll give you space.”“No, don’t leave. Just turn around. Face the road.”He obeyed without question, turning his back to me, a few paces away. I watched him for a moment, making sure he wasn’t cheating. When I was sure he wasn’t looking, I undressed slowly, the air sending goosebumps across my skin. My heart pounde
