All Chapters of Alpha Reid's Bound Mate: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

RAYNESomething felt wrong about the Blood Moon Pack today. But I couldn't sit still while Reid was out there doing goddess knows what.After talking to Ava, I went searching for Elder John. I found him in his study, surrounded by maps and old scrolls."I want the security tightened," I said, cutting straight to the chase. "Triple the guards at the borders. I want eyes on every entrance to the pack house and the Alpha mansion. No one goes in or out without being vetted," I said, my voice leaving no room for argument. Elder John slowly looked up from the papers on his desk, a smug smirk spreading across his face. It was the look of a man who thought he was humoring a child playing queen. He stood, bowing his head in my direction. However, the gesture felt more like a mockery than respect. "Your wish is my command, Luna," he uttered, the title tasting like an insult coming from his mouth.I didn't give him the satisfaction of a response. I didn't tell him where I was going, either.

RAYNE"Alpha Rogan, at your service."Those words were on a loop playing in the back of my mind. They echoed over and over until they lost all meaning. I remembered the pain I felt when the arrow struck me, the black veins of the poison as it crawled up my arm.The darkness that came afterward. When my eyes finally burst open, I was met with more darkness. I was lying on a cold stone floor.The air smelled of damp earth and stale minerals. I tried to sit upright, but my arms wouldn't move more than a few inches. A sharp hiss erupted from my wrists as the skin met silver.I looked up, my eyes finally adjusting to the dark. My hands were shackled in silver chains, bolted to a rock wall high above my head. The silver was burning into my flesh like acid."Mia?" I called out into the void inside my head. "Mia, please answer me."Then, silence. My wolf was gone. The wolfsbane had buried her deep, leaving me alone inside my body. I wasn't the Silver Luna anymore. I wasn't the chosen da

RAYNE The run back was a blur. By the time The Blood Moon Pack came into view, my lungs were burning, and every muscle in my body felt like it would give in at any second. We shifted back into human form, our chests heaving in sync. The cool morning air bit at our sweat-slicked skin.Connor had finally reached his limit. He tiredly dropped to the ground, his knees hitting the dirt with a heavy thud. I watched as he buried his face in his hands. The silence that followed was deafening.I paused to stare at the horizon. The once grand pack lands were now burned to a crisp. The Alpha mansion, the place that had been my prison and then my home, was now a giant heap of ash.Reid came up from behind me. He wrapped his arms around my shoulders, pulling me back against his chest. I leaned my head against his shoulder, closing my eyes, but I could still see the smoke behind my eyelids."Alpha. Luna," a familiar voice came.Aaron came running over from the direction of the diner. He loo

REIDThe rogues thought they had won when they burned down my pack. They wanted to humble me. They wanted to use the safety of my people as a weapon against me. They thought I would go into hiding.But why would I hide? I was the Alpha Reid. My name alone was enough to make low-ranking wolves roll onto their backs in submission. I felt the shift in the air as we crossed the border of the Crescent Blood Pack. "Their border security is a joke," I muttered internally, the thought directed at Ace. My wolf let out a low growl of agreement. The sensors were poorly placed. The scent markers were weeks old and fading, and the patrol was nowhere to be found. It was an insult to the land. This will change the moment I become the new Alpha of this Pack. We didn't shift. I wanted them to see us coming. I wanted them to see the man who had survived the most brutal rogue invasion in a decade. We walked until the center of the pack came into view. It was a small city. More luxurious than

RAYNE"What is that horrible smell?" I asked Aaron, scrunching up my nose at the scent of musk, and old blood burning my nostrils. The air here was definitely different."Harlyn," Aaron blankly answered. "He probably pissed everywhere, hugged all the trees, to mark his territory," he smirked. The survivors of the Blood Moon Pack were silent behind us. As we reached the gigantic Alpha mansion, the warriors came to a halt. "Wait here," Aaron commanded, his voice tight. "No one enters until the perimeter is secure."I shared a nervous look with Aaron as we stepped over the threshold together.Inside, maids in stiff uniforms stood pressed against the walls, their eyes glued to the floor, their hands trembling with fear. Above us, the floorboards were rattling with an uncontrolled Alpha power that radiated from the master suite."His wolf must have gone feral by now," Aaron told me, his hand hovering over the hilt of his blade. "The poison isn't just killing him; it’s stripping away hi
