All Chapters of Spirit bound by the Alpha's curse: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Tears blurred my vision as I staggered away from the table. Behind me, Julietta sniggered. No one said anything else as I left the house with tears running down my cheeks. How could they do this? My own parents? Even though Cassian was next in line to be the alpha of his pack, no sane woman wanted to marry him. No one even hoped they were his fated mate. He was a monster. Ever since my Dad chose Julietta to be his heir instead of me, I knew exactly where I stood in the family. But I also thought that with Julietta as alpha, I could remain in the pack, or leave if I found my mate and he was from a different pack. I was so happy that Axel was my mate. That meant I would be the Beta female. I didn't even care that I could be my sister's direct subordinate. All that mattered was that I would be my mate. But now I was being sent off to die in the hands of a man who wasn't a man but a feral creature? I didn't realize my legs had led me to the pack house until I was standing right in f

I passed out shortly after Mom left, and when I woke up, I was morning. Slowly, I made my way out of the basement, only to find Mom and Dad dressed up, having breakfast. Julietta was nowhere in sight. They looked surprised when they saw me. "You aren't dressed yet?" Mom shouted. "What is wrong with you?" I stared at her in shock. What did she want now? Dressed for what? I looked around. Everything looked pale and wan. My hearing was no longer acute, and so was my sense of smell. This was what life felt like without a wolf. Dull. Lifeless. "Don't just stand there staring," she screamed at me. "Go upstairs, get dressed, and come back here. We're running late."I didn't care about whatever they were running late for, but I forced myself to ask. "Are you going somewhere?" Dad glared at me. "Is this a joke to you? Today is the signing of the alliance. You know this. We're leaving for Silver Creek Pack in fifteen minutes whether you're ready or not. Prince Cassian isn't going to car

Murder and treason. Those words kept circling in my mind over and over. I couldn’t believe what the guards had said. I mean… How was that even possible? Who did I murder? My parents? I was in the car with them. It was an accident. How could they…I heard the sound of my cell door being pulled open and looked up. It had been a few hours since I woke up inside this cell, but I didn’t know how long had passed when I was unconscious. After that initial moment, the guards refused to talk to or even look at me. One of them stood in front of my open cell door now, watching me with barely concealed disgust on his face. “The Alpha and Luna will see you now.” Alpha and Luna? Did that mean Julietta and—“That means get on your feet, traitor!” He snarled. I stared at the guard for a long moment, then slowly got to my feet. How could he treat me like this? Call me a traitor? He grew up in the pack like me. He knew I would never…He seized my arm In a death grip and yanked me ou

Wrath boiled under my skin as I prowled the halls of the Alpha house — my parent's home — looking for something, anything, to unleash my anger on.They were dead. Their bodies cold, their eyes lifeless. And Sage. Sage was gone. My sister. Kidnapped. By those filthy Red Moon trash. I would kill them. I would slaughter them all, crush their skulls, and bathe in their blood. My hands were tight fists, and as my claws extended, they pierced my skin, leaving a trail of blood behind me as I walked. I could feel myself shaking, my body struggling to control the change. My wolf was fighting to get out, and I was fighting to keep it in. If I lost, things would get a lot worse. I needed to be calm right now. Calm enough to plan my next actions. Calm enough to plan my revenge. My skin pricked as fur struggled to come out, and my vision sharpened almost painfully, then dimmed again. My parents. My sister. My family. Broken, because of the Red Moon Pack. I remembered the fury

That morning, I knew. I felt it in my bones. The day had come. The day of my death. Even though I hadn't been able to previously tell how many days had passed, I just knew that it was time. Maybe it was because over the past days, the voice in my head had only grown more insistent, almost fevered in its need for me to come. To find it. Whatever it was. Every time it spoke to me, my answer remained the same. Leave me alone. I didn't want to find a random voice that ordered me to find it without explaining why. I wanted to be left alone to my fate. Escaping hadn't even crossed my mind. What was the point? What would I do if I escaped? Where would I go? Julietta would probably order a manhunt for me anyways. And the Bloody Prince. I shivered as I remembered him. Remembered the hateful look in his eyes. If he believed what Julietta and my pack believed, he would probably be all too happy to rip my throat out too. And if by some miracle I managed to not only escape Red Moon, but a
