All Chapters of Chained By Fate: Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

FAITH Within a few minutes of Kaiden leaving, I was dressed and opening the hidden panel in the wall by our bed. If he thought I wasn’t going to follow him and be a part of this, he was so wrong. Even if I wasn’t directly in the conversation, they were discussing my life and my future. He should damn well expect me to want to hear what was said about whether I would live or die.I moved through the walls silently, counting each turn until I reached the stairs and then tracked the rooms I was passing with my fingers trailing across the dirty wall. When I reached where I thought the briefing room should be, I pressed my ear to it, listening closely for a moment, and was relieved to hear Kaiden’s voice. I waited a beat until he started talking again before opening it just enough that I could look through the crack. Anyone who looked in my direction would be able to see the wall was open, though, so it wasn’t my best plan, but it was all I had. The light was off in the briefing room,

FAITH“This is absurd,” I muttered as I pedaled the bike faster. Never in my life did I think I would have to steal a bicycle from one of the unshifted kids in the pack. Let alone one where my knees were almost hitting the handlebars. My thighs were burning, and my butt was hurting as I sped over the uneven ground. I knew where I needed to go, I just had to get there without leaving a trail for them to follow. I wasn’t sure how long I had been riding before I hit a dirt road and began down it, panting as sweat dripped down my face and back. The crunching of gravel beneath me was almost soothing as I hit a rhythm, moving faster than before on the smoother surface, the ride becoming easier.I almost jumped out of my skin when I heard a motorcycle approaching, and I quickly dove off the road heading for the trees once more as the engine cut off behind me. The sudden transition from worn, packed dirt to the rough and uneven landscape of the natural forest was jarring. “Faith!” The man

FAITH“Wait!” I shouted as she turned to walk away, and was surprised when she actually paused. “What can I do to get just five minutes of your time? Please! Without your help, both of your children will die! Is that what you want?” “I would never wish harm to any of my children!” She shouted over her shoulder. I chuckled bitterly at the realization that she couldn’t even look at me as she said it. There was no conviction there, just irritation that I was accusing her of not caring. “No, you’re just turning your back on them!” I said, my hand smacking against my thigh as I dropped my hand in defeat.“Faith, shut up!" Will whispered, sounding scared, but I could hear him digging away, trying to free himself. I didn’t see a point. If Joan could drop us into the Earth at will, then digging us free would be futile. There was no point in struggling when the battle here was mental.If we couldn’t get through to them, we would die no matter what, and I refused to spend my last few minutes

FAITH My wolf rose stronger at her submission, and I took a step away from Will as the shaking intensified. Even when I was the Luna of the Midnight Pack, no one had ever really, fully submitted to me. They only ever submitted to Ryan. Yet, one by one, the white wolves began to drop, and the bubbling of my power intensified beneath the surface of my skin as they did so, showing me their neck. “What is going on?” Will asked, and I shook my head, unsure. I still felt empty emotionally, and while I tried to reach for Kaiden, I couldn’t. My wolf and magic were too strong, taking over every part of my being until I had no choice. She needed to come out, and I needed to feel her, to know that she was real and that I hadn’t lost her. I couldn’t go another day without her now that I had her back, and if she was gong to show herself, I was going to let her be free, too. “Let’s go,” Will whispered, gently pulling at my bicep to keep me behind him. Still, I kept my line of sight on th

FAITHThe land was beautiful, but the village they had built was even more so. There were ancient stone structures thrumming with power, huts, and even shops. Runes marked every door, and gardens lined every home, filling the space with life and power. Will and I were both on high alert, scanning the area every few seconds, waiting for an attack, but it never came. Instead, they all bowed as I walked further into their land. The hostility that had been there only minutes ago was gone, but I still didn't trust them.The elder woman walked through the packland with all the confidence in the world, not bothering to turn back to look our way. It was like she knew that no one would attack us, but I wasn’t so sure. It was also insulting because she knew we wouldn't attack her either.More movement to the side caught my eye, and I glanced over to see a group of women huddled together, watching me. It was unsettling, and I regretted ever agreeing to set foot on their land.If I didn't need
