Moonbound: The Alpha's Claim Novels & Stories

I uttered coarsely. "Alpha Herveaux, calm down, you are the supreme Alpha," Alpha Adolph said solemnly.Everyone was enjoying the whole process except me. They don’t understand that these same people would mock him for taking on a woman’s role. If he eventually takes my post as the next alpha, it would be hard for him. "I must not let this continue." It was time for the new prophecies from the moon goddess. We all stepped out of the sacred place, and Dante and Great Alune were the first to mount the mountain right under the full moon. It would remain still until the moon goddess departed.

One morning as Mj, Mathew, and his sister Billie were dragging six dead moonwalkers toward the tree line, Mj was met with the almost enthusiastic face of Ace and Moxie. Mj dropped the stinking mutilated bodies of the deceased moonwalkers and approached the excited hunters, “what's got you in a good mood?” she asked Ace and the Commander only grinned, “Alpha says it’s go time,” he said with an excited growl as Moxie nodded like an eager child, “yea he says we can head out as soon as you are relieved,” he chirped and Mj smiled as the normalcy to Moxie’s demeanor seemed to have returned from their time in the swamp.

From what I know, Moonshade dust was outlawed—used to clone scents, dull mate bonds, to trick the senses, to manipulate fate. And she…. were there talking about me? The world tilted. Alpha Deric looked around. “Does Jaxon know?” “No,” Ronan said quickly. “He thinks she’s just a complication. That’s why I summoned you. We have to fix this before the Bloodmoon fully rises.” Their voices drifted away as they walked down the passage. I leaned against the wall, my legs weak.

And for the first time, Leora saw him not as the cold, distant Alpha, but as a man who was just as afraid of the bond as she was. He nodded slowly, the weight of the moment pressing down on them. "We’ll figure it out," he said, his voice steady but not without emotion. "Together." And in that moment, as the full moon bathed them in its light, Leora knew that this was only the beginning. The beginning of something powerful, something that neither of them could fight anymore.

As much as I want to it somehow draws you in. “This is broadcasting now — not just here, but to every pack. The New Moon Alpha.” Gaia leans back as the chat explodes. Hundreds of horrified faces now see him for what he is. “They’re calling for another Alpha,” she says, voice soft with satisfaction. Even Braden won’t claw power back from this. Not even with all his lies. Not without Gaia's help. “Should we go back?” I ask, eyes locked on the grotesque spectacle even as I long to look away.

It was finally time to end the menace that calls himself Luis Moon and his cohorts. Tia and I walked into the hall hand in hand, followed by my father, Stacy, and then Mike and Mark. We were given seats. Stacy sat beside my father, and Tia sat beside me. Caleb was there, and he nodded. The Alpha of Bravadome was there. He was the only one that was genuinely Loyal. The rest of the Alphas defected, and they would pay for it dearly. Once we were settled, I nodded, and Caleb ordered them to bring the prisoners. I watched them march the Alphas shirtless and in silver chains; some looked defeated and remorseful, but two looked proud. If they knew what I had in store for them, they would be praying

“All of you! You think you have the upper hand now? Wait until they get tired of you, then you'll be next. Just you wait and see.” “Security!” I shouted and watched them run up to where we stood. “Take her away,” I said. “You will pay for this!” she shouted as their arms wrapped around her. “Just you wait. You will pay, Sloane Moon!” she shouted as they dragged her away, right in front of me. And for one horrible second, I let out a breath of relief.

I wasn’t sure what to say. Damien squeezed my hand and looked at me. In a moment of sheer vulnerability, I reached out to him through our mind link, “I don’t know who I am.” “Who do you feel like you are?” “I don’t know. I was Alpha in Waiting of Iceclaw. I am your betrothed and mate. I am, maybe, the Moon Goddess’ heiress and promised princess?” I questioned touching the glittering moonstone that was warm and beginning to glow as we traveled North. It’s like it knew it was going home at long last.

The energy clash was blinding a gold and silver supernova in the heart of the Dead Lands. The wolf’s snarl turned into a whimper. He stopped fighting. He pressed his massive head into the crook of my neck, his hot breath huffing against my skin. The wild, untamed Alpha recognized the Moonbound. The two halves of the prophecy had finally met. For a moment, there was peace. A terrifying, beautiful silence where our souls fused. But the silence was broken by the sharp, metallic clink of a crossbow bolt hitting the cave floor. I looked up, my silver vision piercing the darkness.

Choice. Freedom from the bond that's been choking her for five years. I'll offer her all of it. And when she takes it, when she places her trust in my hands, I'll have won. The invitations go out at dawn. By noon, I receive confirmation from both parties. Alpha Draven accepts. Professional. Terse. The Moonshadow accepts. Cautious. Curious. Exactly as I predicted. I lean back in my chair, studying the map of territories spread across my desk.
