All Chapters of THE ALPHA'S DEFIANT MATE: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

The scent of blood filled the air so much that it was thick and suffocating. Several screams echoed in the distance, and they were all familiar voices, the ones of people I loved. My legs refused to move as I stood frozen in the center of the carnage. The dead bodies of the family were littered on the ground, and their lifeless eyes stared back at me in accusations and condemnation.“Dad! Mom! Sera!” I called out their names one after the other, but none of them responded.My entire world of the sixteen-year-old me came rumbling as the realization dawned on me. They had been brutally murdered beyond recognition. Their bodies were filled with claw marks and holes.Before I could register the scene, a low growl rumbled behind me. I turned slowly, my heart pounding against my ribs. His eyes were golden and bright. It carried a ruthless and predator-like look that scared the life out of me as it locked with mine. I was standing right in front of the monster that destroyed my family.“Run,

The smell of the damp earth mixed with the ones coming from the pine wood filled the cold air. Everyone had gone to sleep, and all the stores were closed. I stayed late at the bookstore, consumed with the thought of being caught.The stranger’s warning kept lingering in my thoughts, and I could barely focus throughout the day. Mrs. Porter had left a few hours ago after warning me strictly to have a good rest that night. But how was I to rest in all of these?Finally, I summoned up the courage to leave the bookstore. My boots were clicking softly against the pavement. I had to pick up a package that was delivered to the store next to us before closing for the day.I clenched my fists, inhaling slowly to keep my nerves calm. trusting my instincts was one of the things my mother taught me as I grew up as a wolf.A rustling noise came from behind. I stopped abruptly, my heart hammering hard as I listened, but there was nothing. I quickened my pace, my breath hitching as I reached my desti

Damian Blackwood is the infamous Alpha of the Shadow Moon Pack and is known for his ruthlessness. He was merciless in every story ever told and a huge predator among wolves. The thought of having someone like him as a mate was terrifying and infuriating.The mate bond was undeniable because it tugged hard at my soul, leaving no room for me to breathe, but I would never be his. I’d rather die than let him have me, and he was not letting me make any of those decisions.He had forcefully taken me along as he left the human town. I was tied hard and placed next to him in his chariot as we moved out of the town that had shielded me for four years. How he found me, I knew not, but I had never dreamt of meeting him this way.All I wanted was to hate him peacefully till my last breath because I knew getting revenge was useless. He was way more powerful than I could ever be, so there was little to nothing I could do to avenge my family.As the rough road threw us closer to each other, he refus

The journey back home was a quiet one. Only the sound of the chariots was heard as the horses raced back to the pack. No one said a word to each other, and I was just too tired to speak or react. The failed escape made me realize that I shouldn’t try anything silly with him till I got another chance to escape.His strength was unimaginable. He didn’t even need to do much before he caught up with me. Thanks to my frail frame, he tossed me over his shoulder like some sack of sawdust and brought me back. His headguard proposed punishment, and he was slammed with the scariest howl I have ever heard.“Don’t you dare open your mouth to propose; she gets punished! She’s only mine to handle. Only I have the say over her,” he declared.The headguard only trembled in fear. His alpha voice rippled through every living thing; even I was afraid.My eyes were closing on their own as we approached the end of another space. I couldn’t control it anymore and just let myself sleep the stress away. Ther

I would have protested by not eating the meal, but I was hungry beyond the drama. No one would care, and they might probably pack it up. The Alpha is far away, so my protest might not even reach his ears. I decided it would be best to start the hunger strike when I get familiar with the environment.Also, the journey was a long one. I had exhausted all my energy. The bath must have had a nice feel in my system because I snored away immediately after I finished eating. Strangely, I could sleep without a nightmare, the first time in several months.I would always wake up with puffy eyes because of the nightmare, but this time around, I slept deeply. No one was in the room when I woke up; I looked around to see only me in the large room.It was late in the night and the only sources of light were the ones coming from the hurricane lantern hung at several points in the room. It was bright enough to light up the room perfectly. My feet connected with the warm floor as I took a proper look
