In the Chains of the Alpha

In the Chains of the Alpha

“True, I don’t like the circles under her eyes. Can we take her to the medical centre? Or do you insist on keeping her here?” It surprised Cal as much as the healer with his strong emotional response to this inquiry. “No, she stays here.” Cal watched Jaxon with the chains. He was looking at them speculatively, and Cal knew his thoughts. Jaxon hadn’t witnessed Cal’s claim to her. However, Jaxon knew they weren’t the standard one-night issue chains kept for the curious to play at being a submissive. These were Cal’s personal chains. He placed on women he claimed for a time.

Shattered Vows

Shattered Vows

I made sure they paid—in the cruelest, most humiliating way possible. I tore my father’s company apart, crushed his legacy, and gathered allies who wanted him ruined just as much as I did. And just when I thought I had nothing left to lose, I found my fiancée in bed with my half-brother, Gregory. Chanel had been the last illusion I had about love. And when that illusion shattered, I stopped believing in anything. I swore off women. I lived recklessly, throwing myself into work, into power, into winning.

Chains of Gratitude

Chains of Gratitude

T he crowd burst into applause, and every eye in the room turned to me. Lucien's gaze was full of love, waiting for me to join him on stage. Suddenly, a massive crash erupted in the ballroom. The immense champagne tower beside me came down with a roar. The champagne tower beside me toppled, glass shattering in a violent cascade. Cold liquid soaked my skin as shards bit into me. Screams echoed, guests scattering. I couldn't move. Any step sent pain lancing through me.

No Child, No Chains

No Child, No Chains

Seth also thinks you're not worthy of me, so you'd better take care of yourself. Seth looked at me with disgust. "Mommy, Jane treats me very well, and she's not like you. She's never been to prison. I don't want a mother like you!" From my time in prison, I already had health problems. Their shamelessness literally drove me to my grave. Remembering how miserable I had been in my past life, while Declan climbed to success and lived happily with Jane, made the hatred in my chest burn even hotter. I said sarcastically, "Him? A great father? That's not necessarily true. I said I had a cold and went to the hospital, but Declan didn't care at all. Looks like he treats you way better than me."

Shattered Vows

CHAPTER 55 – BREAKING CHAINS Althea’s POV There are moments when you don’t hear the chains until they loosen. For years, I thought freedom would feel like relief. Like breathing after being underwater too long. Like a door swinging open. I was wrong. Freedom felt like fear. It came to me slowly, creeping in during the quiet hours of the night after Samantha’s threat, after Damian’s cold resolve, after Darius’s protective fury. It arrived when the noise finally faded and I was left alone with one unbearable truth:

Behind Chains and Coffins

Behind Chains and Coffins

Gently, I lifted my fingertips to the shadows beneath my eyes, touching it gingerly, caressing the mark of my enslavement as I gazed into one of the many mirrors that adorned the gilded walls of the throne room Enslavement. My teeth ground together at the thought of the word, my fangs threatening to burst forth. Breathe. He can sense weakness. Heavy, hot, and uncomfortable, shame washed over me, settling itself familiarly into my bones. We were once strong, feared. Now we live in fear, we are made to be weak. Me and my werewolf brethren, gods turned to slaves. Burning, the air filled my lungs, each breath both a gift and curse. Breaking the silence, the sound of a lively fire filled the larg

The Forgotten Heiress: Rise of The Lycan Queen

The Forgotten Heiress: Rise of The Lycan Queen

The Chain cracked. Not with a scream.Not with an explosion. Just a single, hollow sound, like a rib breaking in a sleeping god’s chest. Like history holding its breath, and exhaling. Seren stood still. Ash curled around her legs like thread from a forgotten loom, stirred by wind that came from nowhere and carried everything. The Chain of Thrones lay shattered at her feet, each link pulsing faintly as if torn between dying and being remembered. Some were red. Others smoked grey. A few whispered names too old for any mortal ear to recognise.

 Became His Mate By Accident

Became His Mate By Accident

The sobs kept coming, softer now, like he was running out of tears. And every single one carved another piece out of me. I slid down the wall until I was sitting again. Head in my hands. Chains clinking. Waiting for morning. I would be free from this torment within. Waiting for screams. Waiting for anything that made sense. Because right now, nothing did. Then coldness spread to the top of my hands. Slow. Numbing. I was too lost in the mess of my head to notice. I only noticed when the silver chains shattered.

The Reaver Chronicles: Raziel (Book 1)

It was time to move on. The Shadows convulsed and oozed towards the urn with a ravenous intensity. But before I could change my mind, they engulfed it… shattering it into 1,000 pieces. Silver and black shards exploded into the air, piercing my chest and scattering across the room like a dark, malevolent rain. I fell to my knees as my heart shattered, once again, the shards piercing my very soul. I clasped my hand over my heart, struggling to draw breath, and fought to stem the tide of tears that threatened to overwhelm me.

Banished By The Alpha King:Claimed By The Cursed Lycan Beast

Get to her. I yanked against the chains. They held. Of course they held. They had never failed before. The scream tore through me again. We must save her. Our mate. The beast’s voice slammed into my thoughts. Not a suggestion. A command. Impossible. “No,” I growled through gritted teeth. “Stop.” The chains creaked. Then they snapped. Metal links exploded across the room like shrapnel. I stared at my freed wrists in shock. Nothing had ever broken these chains. Nothing.

I am already hooked already by the introduction. I hope this is a completed story. i I am not one to complain, becuz authors need time with their family or need a break to rest. Werewolf stories are my all time favorite stories to read.

Just finished the book, caught off guard by the whole science angle and the seemingly sudden relationship between the Betas that wasn't supported throughout the story. Other than those two areas, excellent writing and imagery. Love the "unexpected" helper's redemption. Won't read the sequel.

Frequently Asked Questions

Man, I stumbled upon 'Chains' years ago during a deep dive into historical fiction, and Laurie Halse Anderson's name just stuck with me. The way she writes—raw, unflinching, yet deeply human—totally grabbed me. I remember finishing the book in one sitting because I couldn't let go of Isabel's story. Anderson has this knack for blending brutal history with characters that feel like friends. If you haven't read her other works like 'Speak,' you're missing out—she tackles tough topics with grace.

What's wild is how 'Chains' doesn't just stay in the past; it mirrors so much of today's struggles. Anderson doesn't spoon-feed you the themes either—she trusts you to connect the dots. That’s why her books linger in my mind like half-remembered conversations.
