All Chapters of BOUND TO THE MOONCREST ALPHA : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

CreightonSeeing Scarlett collapse on the cold marble floor turns my blood into pure ice.Blood drips from her mouth, and she writhes in agony before going still.An extreme internal panic hits me hard, instantly taking over every thought in my head.My wolf loses all control inside me, clawing at my chest and clawing to burst right out.I don't think about rules, the elders, or the stupid ritual anymore.I leap right over the wooden balcony railing, dropping down to the main floor with a thud.The whole room erupts into chaos around us.People are screaming, pushing each other, and backing away from the altar in terror."Get the physician right now!" I roar at the top of my lungs, my voice echoing off the stone walls.Nobody moves fast enough, so I push past three elders, nearly knocking them down."I said get a damn physician!" I shout again, pointing directly at the head guard."We need a medical team immediately!" the guard stammers out, turning to run down the hall.I drop to my

CREIGHTON She fell onto the floor with a dull thud, blood seeping down her neck. She was trembling in pure terror, scrambling backward on her hands and knees. “I... I-It’s a misunderstanding, Alpha!” she sobbed, her voice high and frantic. “I didn’t mean to... I only served her the drink! I... I swear I didn’t know it was poisoned with wolfsbane! I didn’t know! I swear I didn’t!” My eyebrow shot up. “If you didn’t do it, then how do you know she was poisoned with wolfsbane?” She froze, her eyes opening wide in sheer horror. “I... uh... I... w-wolfsbane is the only poison that could affect a wolf!” “Wrong. There was Vile at the ceremony, too. That’s a werewolf poison as well. So how did you know?” “I...” She opened her mouth to spit out yet another lie. I reacted instantly, driving the steel toe of my boot directly into her jaw. Her head slammed against the hard tile floor, the sickening sound of her skull cracking echoing through the space. The surrounding maids gasped an

SCARLETT“He killed an entire family.”The words didn't come from a dream. They floated through the sterile air, sharp and unvarnished, striking against the thick, heavy cloud of my lingering subconscious. My eyelids fluttered open, my gaze fixing on the plain white ceiling above. I blinked hard, trying to clear the haze as the hushed whispers outside my door grew distinct.“The Alpha really slaughtered the whole line?”“Yes. I understand the elder poisoned the Luna, but what did his family do? What did his children do?”My heart stilled. My eyes stretched wide in shock.I tried to turn, ignoring the blinding spikes of pain that shot through my wrists and shoulders. I forced my hand outward, reaching toward the silhouette of a nurse checking my IV monitor. She let out a sharp gasp of fear as my fingers brushed her sleeve. Two nurses froze in tandem, dropping their clipboard, their eyes wide as they spun around to face the bed.“Oh my God... the Luna is awake!”“Call the doctor! Quick

SCARLETTI froze, my eyes widening in utter disbelief at his words.“What?"“You heard me right, Scar,” he chimed in, a dark, dangerous grin playing on his lips.“I am not going anywhere with you.”“I wasn't asking.”“I am not going,” I snapped.Creighton ignored me entirely, flicking his gaze toward Martha. “Are you done with the packing?”“Yes, Alpha.”“Have it loaded into the car,” he commanded. Martha bowed quickly and hurried out, leaving me to watch the two of them decide my fate as if I had no say in my own life.“I said I'm not going with you.”He stared down at me, unbothered, then folded his arms over his chest. “Name one reason.”“I can give you ten.”“Go on.”“I don't want to move in with you.”“Why?”“I don't need a reason other than I am furious with you!”“I didn't do anything wrong.”My lips parted in sheer disbelief. I stared up at him, stunned by his icy demeanor—by the utter nonchalance in his voice.“You did,” I spat. “You slaughtered an entire family. Nothing you

SCARLETT I stilled at the guard's words. I wasn't naive enough to miss why the elders were demanding his presence. Hell, considering he had slaughtered an entire bloodline—including a sitting pack elder—it was sheer luck the pack hadn't plunged into full-blown civil war. Yet here Creighton was, casually stuffing his face, his features composed with a hint of irritation, as if the elders were nothing more than annoying flies that had buzzed into his space rather than a legitimate threat. Great. Just great. I always knew Creighton was stubborn. Hell, he had been a nightmare while growing up. He hated being told he was wrong, and whenever he handed down a decree, it became law. Back then, I was the only one brave enough to call out his nonsense. That was probably the only reason his father let us stay friends—unlike his other friends, I didn't follow him around in reverent silence. I followed him around to spit in his food, yank his hair, and pull him into utter chaos simply becau
