All Chapters of BOUND BY THE ALPHA: Chapter 1 - Chapter 5

The moment the car struck me, I never expected my life to end so abruptly. The screech of tires, the blinding headlights, the sickening thud of my body hitting metal — it all happened too fast for me to even scream. Pain exploded in every nerve, and then... nothing.Silence.Darkness.Cold.But death didn’t welcome me. Instead, when I forced my eyes open, I found myself lying in the middle of a dense forest. Mist coiled low around the gnarled roots and towering trees. The air smelled damp, earthy... and strange.“Hello,” a calm, feminine voice echoed in my ears, as clear as if she stood right beside me. “I am your assistant, Ava. Welcome to the world of werewolves.”I sat up with a jolt, heart pounding. My hands trembled. “W-what?”“If you complete the task assigned to you, you will have the chance to return to the human world.”A task? Was this some weird afterlife?“What’s the task?” I rasped, my throat raw.“In three years, a werewolf named Thorne will spark a bloody massacre. Your

I barely had time to scream.The giant wolf lunged for me — claws out, teeth bared.I stumbled backward blindly, my back slamming into the broken wall.

He drove it deep into the creature's throat, a wet, tearing sound filling the cabin.The wol

CHAPTER 5Thorne's grip on me was unrelenting, his breath hot against my neck as we sprinted through the thick forest. His body was a shield, wrapping around me as we fought to stay ahead of the wolves closing in on us. His pulse hammered beneath my fingers, a rhythm that matched the urgency of our escape."I thought you were supposed to protect me," I gasped, heart racing, feet stumbling over roots and uneven ground."Just hold on," he growled, eyes flicking over his shoulder. His gaze was sharp, predatory, as if he could sense the wolves closing in. "We’re almost there."I had no idea where "there" was, but at this point, I didn’t care. I was too lost in the electric pull between us, the undeniable bond that had ignited between us the moment Thorne had touched me.As if to answer my unspoken thoughts, his hand slid down to the small of my back, pulling me closer, his lips grazing the edge of my ear."Don’t you dare try to run from me," he murmured, his voice dark with promise. "You’
