All Chapters of Moon bound to the ruthless alpha: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Anna’s POV Vanessa’s fist slammed into my jaw before I could dodge.Pain exploded across my face, and the force of the blow sent me crashing onto my hands and knees. Dirt scraped against my palms while the metallic taste of blood filled my mouth.The training ground erupted with cheers.I wiped the blood from the corner of my lips and slowly looked up. Vanessa stood a few feet away, wearing the same smug smile she always wore whenever she thought she’d won.“That’s where you belong, you wolfless bitch,” she sneered. “On the ground.”More laughter echoed around us.I clenched my jaw and swallowed every insult threatening to escape my lips. I’d spent twenty years without a wolf, and although I’d only arrived at Ironfang Pack a year ago, the names had followed me everywhere.Wolfless.Useless.Freak.No matter where I went, people always found a new way to remind me I was different.Vanessa folded her arms across her chest as she basked in the attention.“I still don’t understand why you

Anna’s POVLater that evening, I slipped into the navy-blue dress Grams Becky had picked out for me.The soft fabric hugged my body perfectly before stopping just above my knees. The sleeveless design left my arms bare, while the open back added a touch of elegance that made me feel both confident and strangely exposed.I turned slowly in front of the mirror.Not bad.A knock sounded on my bedroom door before it opened a second later.“There she is.” Grams Becky walked in carrying a pair of silver earrings, her warm brown eyes lighting up the moment she saw me.“I knew this dress would suit you.”I smiled, shaking my head.Ever since Kael had brought me to Ironfang after the attack on my pack, Grams Becky had been the one responsible for looking after me. She wasn’t related to me by blood, but somewhere between making sure I never skipped meals, treating every bruise I came home with, and scolding me whenever I overworked myself, she’d quietly become the closest thing I had to family

Anna’s POVThe smile on the scarred rogue’s face widened as more wolves stepped out from the shadows, their eyes fixed on me with the same predatory hunger.Moonlight filtered through the trees, revealing at least a dozen rogues surrounding the clearing. Some carried swords stained with fresh blood, while others remained in their wolf forms, pacing slowly as though they already knew I had nowhere left to run.Only then did I understand how badly I’d miscalculated.I hadn’t cornered one of the wolves responsible for the destruction of my pack.I’d walked straight into the trap they had laid for me.The scarred rogue folded his arms across his chest and let out a low chuckle.“Our Alpha was right,” he said. “Your need for revenge blinded you. He knew the moment you recognized me, you’d chase without thinking.”My fingers tightened around the dagger in my hand until my knuckles turned white.“Then tell your Alpha he underestimated me.”His laughter echoed through the clearing.“I don’t t

The rest of the world slowly faded away.The warriors surrounding us, the blood covering the ground, and the dead rogues scattered across the clearing all seemed to disappear. None of it mattered anymore.My eyes remained locked on Kael’s wolf. He looked completely lost in my gaze, as though he was seeing something that shouldn’t have been possible.Then something inside me stirred.A sudden chill rushed through my body, stealing the air from my lungs. Every hair on my arms stood on end as a strange warmth spread through my chest.I froze.For the first time in my life… I felt her.My wolf.She wasn’t speaking, but I could feel her.She was alive.Her emotions poured into me like a rushing river. Excitement. Curiosity. Happiness.It was as though she had finally woken after years of silence.I could almost reach her.Almost.But something invisible continued holding her back.No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t cross whatever stood between us.A soft sound suddenly came from Kael’s

I frowned.“My punishment?”Kael held my gaze, his expression unreadable.“You’re no longer allowed to leave Ironfang territory without my permission.”A dry laugh escaped me.“That’s your grand punishment?”“It isn’t finished.”Of course it wasn’t.“You’ll be escorted wherever you go until I decide otherwise. Your training will continue under approved supervision, and if you want to leave the mansion, someone will know where you’re going.”I folded my arms across my chest.“So I’ve officially become a prisoner.”“If you were a prisoner,” he said evenly, “you wouldn’t have been eating honey cake in my kitchen this morning.”I blinked.“Were you spying on me?”“I don’t need to spy.”His mouth curved into the faintest hint of a smile.“The guards report to me.”I groaned.“Wonderful. So now I can’t even eat in peace.”“You can eat all the honey cake you want.”He crossed his arms, mirroring my posture.“You just can’t disappear into the forest again.”“I wasn’t trying to disappear.”“Yo
