Bound By The Alphas Novels & Stories

"Yes, and that's the fucking problem. It clearly says on the engraving that the owner is Alpha Lenox, the youngest of mad Alpha's triplets. Have you heard of them?" "I think I have heard something about the mad Alpha," I shrug. In school, we hear a lot about the different Alphas of all the shifters, but I've never paid attention to the ones who aren't cat shifters. I couldn't care less who they are or what they do.

a voice boomed, sounding like the closing of a heavy vault door. The First Alpha sat upon a high, crystalline bench that towered a hundred feet above us. He was not a wolf or a man in this layer; he was the Personification of the Limit. His skin was made of obsidian-glass, and his eyes were two unmoving portals of Absolute Precedent. In his hand, he held the Legal-Scythe, its blade flickering with the text of the Thirteenth Cycle’s founding debt.

Obediently, I reached out and the moment my fingers touched the paper, my body went still. My breath hitched. Because in that moment, an electrifying sensation rushed through me, and the next time I blinked, the words on the paper began to slowly appear. My eyes widened so much they almost popped out as the ink formed. Bold black letters spelling out something anyone could understand at a single glance: This is a binding agreement between the three Alphas—Alpha Lucien, Alpha Claude, and Alpha Silas of the Fangspire Pack and the Omega, Lilith, daughter of the late Beta Jayden.

Maybe I should show him why I am the Alpha of Alphas. Fear crossed his eyes, but it quickly disappeared. He jutted his chin, unfazed. "We are Alphas, and it is our duty to keep the boundaries. What business does the alpha have with runaway wolves in Bayview? They could be rogues for all I care!" The other Alphas nodded in agreement. They are bent on defying my rules. "Do you want me to do something about it since you are too weak to do anything?" Alpha of Alphas muttered in my head.

His chest rose and fell with every breath, a silent warning that something was coming — something deadly. "Stay close," he muttered, pulling me against him, his arms circling around my waist. A growl echoed through the trees, deep and menacing. Thorne’s body tensed, his muscles coiling as he prepared to fight. I could see it in his eyes — a wild, untamable rage. He was no longer the broken, vulnerable man I’d first met. He was the Alpha, the beast inside him awakened, and I couldn’t tear my eyes away. "Thorne," I whispered, my voice shaky. "What’s happening?"

His eyes darted back and forth from Damien and me, but his body looked as though it was frozen in place. “Let him go,” I said again, my tone never changing. “You aren’t allowed to touch either of us. So, release him.” With reluctance, he released his hold on Damien, letting him drop to the floor. The Alpha stood in place, staring down at Damien with a hidden threat in his eyes. I heard Xaden and Harley both inhaling a deep breath and the light chuckles of Zach in the background. “How did you do that?” The Alpha asked, turning to look at me. “You used an Alpha command on me; one I could not break. How is that possible??”

“Alphas with strong bonds can issue direct orders. Sit. Stay. Come. They don’t need to shout. It flows through the bond like a whisper soaked in blood. And most times, the mate obeys without even knowing why.” I clenched my fists. “This is why Albert keeps going back to him?” I muttered. “Parlty, yes,” Bibi said. “But not just because of control. Because the bond punishes resistance. The more Albert fights it, the more pain he’s in. It’s nature twisted into a noose. And worse, if Albert is in love with him, Edward's hold over him would even be greater.” The vision changed again. This time, I saw wolves fighting in the woods; two packs clashing, snarls and teeth and blood everywhere. And then

The female of the group laughed. Dove jumped out at them, fully released. “Who holds Briar’s chains, where is she, and is she still alive?” “Who the hell are you?” the female asked, wide eyed. “What is your business here?” the tall male asked. “Are you an Alpha?” Dove asked. “We are all betas. A doesn’t allow Alphas outside his inner circle.” The female said, as A had planned, he knew betas could be controlled, and Alphas sent the wrong message.

The moment he said this, other Alphas jumped down from the trees around them, and the next thing they knew, they were surrounded. Anna turned and counted all the Alphas. They were twelve in number. Beads of sweat formed on her forehead and she kept looking around her in fright. "Relax," Matt, who was standing behind her, said. "Alex, what is going on here? Why are the Alphas of the forbidden pack surrounding us?" "What do you all want?" Evans asked the alphas. "Listen, we have rules. Our paths are not supposed to cross. You're all forbidden from having any dealings with us."

"And Lyra? Be careful who you tell about the father." My throat tightened. "How did you know...." "I've been around long enough to recognize that look." She stood, her expression sad. "Alphas don't take responsibility for omega bastards. Especially not the heirs." She left me there on the cold tile floor, and I knew she was right. I was completely, utterly alone.
