Vanessa wanted Chapter 8: Bloodlines and Broken Bonds
The night was as heavy as a looming storm. Vanessa sat by the window, staring out at the distant silhouette of the mountains, her mind spinning with the events of the past hours. The words that had been spoken, the dangers that had been uncovered, and most of all, the bond. The bond between her and Draven.She could feel it now, pulsing beneath her skin, twisting and turning with every breath she took. It wasn’t just her wolf anymore. It was her, too. And as much as she tried to push it away, to fight it, there was no denying the truth anymore. She was bound to him. To his fire. To his curse.The knock at her door startled her, pulling her from her thoughts. She straightened up quickly, heart racing for no reason she could name. "Come in," she called, her voice steadier than she felt.Kael stepped inside, his usual cool demeanor replaced with something more serious. His eyes were darker than usual, the familiar smile nowhere to be found. Vanessa didn't need to ask. She knew whatever h
Vanessa wanted Chapter 7:Blood and Ashes
The castle’s heavy stone walls seemed to close in as Vanessa strode through the dark corridors, each step echoing in the silence. The heat in her blood hadn’t faded, but now it was a fire, contained, controlled, but still burning. It pulsed beneath her skin, like a heartbeat synced with Draven’s own, a bond that neither of them could deny.But as much as she wanted to fight it, to push it away, something in her twisted and burned with him.I’m not his.The thought was as sharp as the silence that hung between them. She didn’t need to look to know Draven was right behind her, his presence like a storm cloud at her back. He hadn’t spoken since Lysandra’s visit, his jaw clenched, his anger simmering just beneath the surface.The bond between them hummed with the raw, unspoken words neither could voice."You can’t keep doing this," Draven finally said, his voice low, dangerously calm. "Pushing me away, when you know what’s happening."Vanessa stopped abruptly, turning to face him. The fir
Vanessa wanted Chapter 6: The Night the Bond Stirred
The throne hall emptied one Alpha at a time, their shadows stretching long against the torches as they left. Yet each pair of eyes lingered on Vanessa, some with hunger, some with fear, and some with worship.She hated every one of them.Draven’s hand stayed at the small of her back, guiding her forward, but not with force. His touch was steady, grounding… dangerous. The moment they stepped into the corridor, the doors closed, shutting out the world.The castle seemed quieter now. Too quiet.Vanessa exhaled.“You should have let them leave without humiliating them,” she muttered.Draven’s jaw flexed. “They disrespected you.”“They feared me. That’s not the same.”He turned, caging her against the stone wall with his body. Not touching, just standing close enough that her breath caught.“They will learn,” he said softly, voice a growl. “You are not prey. You are power.”There it was again. That possessive fire. That dangerous certainty.And the worst part? Her wolf stirred at his words
Vanessa wanted Chapter 5: Bound by Fire
The fortress trembled long before the first horn blew.I’d been pacing my chamber for hours, unable to rest. Sleep mocked me; every time I closed my eyes, I saw his face, molten gold eyes, firelight flickering over skin that looked too human and too divine all at once.Draven Blackflame.The Hybrid Alpha.The curse and the crown of the realm.And somehow, I was bound to him.The thought made my chest twist with something I couldn’t name, part fear, part anger… part something dangerously close to longing.Outside, thunder cracked across the mountains, echoing off the obsidian walls. But it wasn’t thunder. It was dragons. Hundreds of them, roaring across the skies in warning.The Alphas had arrived.A knock came at my door, sharp and impatient. I turned, heart hammering. “Come in.”Kael entered, armored head to toe in blackened steel. His expression was unreadable, but his aura was tense, that telltale scent of danger in the air. “You’re being summoned.”I folded my arms. “Again?”“Thi
Vanessa wanted Chapter 4: The Gathering of Alphas
The fortress didn’t sleep that night.Wolves in black armor patrolled the courtyards. Dragons circled the skies, their roars splitting the silence. The torches burned blue instead of gold, a sign of war readiness, Kael had told me earlier.And somewhere at the heart of it all, the Hybrid Alpha prepared to summon his enemies into his home.I sat by the narrow window, watching the horizon bleed crimson. Every instinct screamed that I should run, that I didn’t belong here, that I never would. But where would I go? The other packs wanted me too. I wasn’t safe anywhere.My reflection glowed faintly in the glass — silver veins pulsing under my skin like lightning trapped beneath flesh.The Healer of the Eclipse.My fate had never been my own. Not since that night under the moon.The door opened with a low creak. Kael stepped inside, his armor half-fastened, expression sharp. “They’re here.”I stood quickly. “Who?”“The emissaries from the three packs. Silverclaw, Moonveil, and Nightbane.” H
Vanessa wanted Chapter 3: Fire Beneath the Skin
Sleep didn’t come.Not with the fortress humming around me like a living creature. The walls seemed to breathe. The torches flickered in strange rhythms, pulsing as if the stones themselves had a heartbeat.And beneath it all, the faint echo of a growl I couldn’t locate.When dawn’s first light crept through the narrow window, I was already standing, pacing. My reflection in the glass looked foreign, silver eyes faintly glowing, hair tangled, robe loose at my shoulders.The Healer of the Eclipse.A title I didn’t want.The thought of Draven’s words still burned in my chest. You belong here now. My Beta will ensure your safety.Safety. Right.I turned sharply when the door opened without warning. Kael stood there, holding a tray of food, dark bread, roasted meat, and a small bowl of something that shimmered faintly blue.“Breakfast,” he said flatly.I crossed my arms. “Do I look hungry?”He shrugged. “It wasn’t a question. Eat. The Alpha ordered it.”Something in his tone made me brist
