All Chapters of BOUND TO MY FORBIDDEN MATE : Chapter 1 - Chapter 5

Selene's POVI shouldn't have been this close to the border.The Neutral Territory was forbidden for a reason. This was the abandoned land between the Witch Kingdom of Lunaris and the Werewolf Kingdom of Silvermoon. No one came here except those looking for trouble.But I needed the moonflowers. They only grew here, in the space between our worlds where magic was wild and unpredictable. My healing potion wouldn't work without them.I kept my eyes on the ground, searching through the dead grass for the silver petals that glowed faintly in the afternoon light. My basket was almost full. Just a few more and I could leave.A twig snapped behind me.I froze, my hand moving instinctively to the dagger at my belt. Slowly, I turned around.Three wolves stood at the edge of the tree line. But these weren't normal wolves. They were massive, easily twice the size of any natural animal.

Every noble in Lunaris had come to watch me choose my mate.Crystal chandeliers hung from the ceiling, casting rainbow light across the marble floors. Flowers decorated every surface.

Lord Marcus. Sir Aldwin. Prince Dorian. Thorne. And at the end, Adrian.Morgana sat at the high table, her face confident. She expected me to choose Thorne. Everyone did.The High Priestess stepped forward and raised her hands. The music stopped. Everyone fell silent."Today, Selene Moonshadow will choose her mate," the priestess announced. "The magic
