Semua Bab Chained By Fate: Bab 21 - Bab 30

FAITHI shoved at Nova as she held me down, twisting my body to reach for the woman who had thought she could get away with hurting Kaiden. The bond pulsed through me, and I could still feel Kaiden’s command through the amulet. It was dull, but it was there, feeding my desire to end the unconscious witch next to us.“Fascinating,” Juliana said, the witch appearing over Nova and me. She didn’t look aggressive or malicious, but I didn’t trust her. Where had she been while the other witch attacked Kaiden, and why was Nova protecting the little witch?I felt a burst of cold air wrap around me until my body felt frozen. Only then did it get sucked into my amulet until the metal, too, had cooled and the blood lust that had been fueling me was gone. “I’ve never seen a connection that strong between a Bearer and a Bound.”The back of my head rested against the ground as I panted, trying to calm myself as my desire to end the witch faded.“She should have been killed,” I said, ignoring Julia

KAIDENI could see why Victor Cain wanted Faith so badly. Her power was extraordinary. I had felt it pulsing through me as she used it. It had been so powerful that I could almost taste it.And one taste wasn’t enough. How could any man ever reject her and give up that power? She was extraordinary. “I want a list of all missing persons or people who have left the pack in the past five years on my desk within the hour,” I said, knowing Cain had never been shy about sending messages. Whoever the smoking body belonged to would be someone important or recognizable. He wanted to make us hurt, and I did not doubt that he would.“Alpha,” My Gamma, Jackson, said, and I turned to look at him, suddenly realizing that he was no longer my Gamma. He was my Beta now. My Beta, Henry, had been my best friend, and he had been working for Cain. He had stabbed me, and in return, I had ended his life for his betrayal. “Beta Jackson,” I greeted, and watched as he stood straighter at my first acknowl

FAITH“What the fuck is your problem?” I snapped, sick of her attitude. She may be bigger than me, stronger than me, and from Alpha blood, but I was a white wolf. I had magic that she could only dream of having, even if I couldn’t use it yet. After Kaiden fell asleep, I stared at the amulet on his bare chest, determined to get my hands on it one day at any cost.One day, I would steal my freedom back and never be owned again. “Don’t you think we have bigger things to worry about right now?” I asked, gesturing to the door where the last of the guards were following after Kaiden, ready to prepare for battle. “You’re right,” Nova sighed, holding my stare for a moment longer before looking away. It was unsettling, and I didn’t trust it. I hadn’t known Nova long or even interacted with her more than a few times, but I knew from the first moment I met her that Nova would never submit to me.Still, she looked sincere the next time she looked up, and I took a deep breath to try to calm t

KAIDEN I stared over the bodies in the field, furious because I knew this was just another distraction. He had sent weak and malnourished wolves, prisoners most likely, as they had burns and bruises on their wrists and ankles, to fight his battle for him. It had been like a wave of zombies running in, their eyes full of blood lust as if they were blindly following orders. They hadn't seemed motivated to win or make it past us to the pack house. Cutting them down had been easy enough, and looking around the corpses littering my land infuriated me. Cain was wasting my resources, which was expected of war, but he could have at least made it worth my time and energy. This wasn’t a battle at all. This was a slaughter. “Burn the bodies at the border. I want him to see the smoke from his pack land.” I ordered, knowing he was probably sitting back on his throne, laughing at the lives he had just sacrificed and the trouble he had caused. Even with them dead, he would be gloating that

FAITH“Fucking witches.” Nova cursed as we limped out of the building. “You might want to get out of here fast. I have a message to send.” The woman, Joan, chuckled before her body shook, and I watched transfixed as she turned into a wolf. Her fur was as white as snow, and she stomped her paw at me before taking off into the forest.“Not a witch,” I corrected as the wolf sprinted away. I didn’t know who she was or what she wanted, but she made it clear that she didn’t want us involved, and I wasn’t going to complain. I was just grateful to be free. Being Cain's prisoner and being Kaiden’s prisoner were two different worlds, and I couldn’t find it in me to be upset by Kaiden controlling my magic anymore when it was nothing compared to what Cain had planned for me. The devil I knew was better than the devil I didn't. “She must be part of the rebels,” Nova muttered, still glaring with disdain. “What? What rebels?” I asked, and she curled her lip in disgust. “They are just a rumor
