On the night she was meant to shift for the first time, Lyla Vale is taken. Dragged from her bed and delivered in chains to the frozen North, Lyla wakes to a fate she never chose — claimed by a powerful Alpha and bound to him by a mate bond that ignites through fear, not desire. The bond burns instead of comforts, pulling at her instincts while threatening to strip away her autonomy. Lyla refuses to submit. To the bond. To the Alpha. To the destiny others have decided for her. But the North is more than a prison. Ancient laws govern its people, blood debts tie packs together, and a war long buried beneath treaties is beginning to stir. As Lyla’s first shift looms — unstable, dangerous, and tied to a power even the North fears — the truth behind her abduction begins to surface. The man she is bound to is not the villain she expected. And the real enemy may not be across the border… but closer to home. In a world where fate can be weaponized and love can become a leash, Lyla must decide whether to break the bond threatening to consume her — or turn it into the sharpest weapon of all. Because in the North, survival isn’t earned by obedience. It’s claimed.

I didn’t know where I was going with this just yet. I thought it best to beat him at his own game. Maybe if I wasn’t a threat, he would remove the chains. “Hmm, let me think of all the punishments suitable for you.” He added, greeting my tone with more of the same. He was enjoying this. I decided to play it right. Standing to my feet and walking out of the room. He locked the door behind me and chuckled to himself with that charmingly devilish grin. “That’s a good girl.” He muttered as he gripped onto my chains and led me down a hallway to another door. It was pleated with leather and as he opened it, I could tell the room itself was soundproofed. I wondered if this was where he took Lilith. Everything in this room was leather, flourished in the colour red. There was a beautiful crystal and gold chandelier that hung from the ceiling, lighting up the room to reveal all the contraptions that roamed within. The bed was the plainest thing in the room and the thought of the rest of the stuff churned my stomach, leaving me nauseated. A scent lingered in the room; however, it wasn’t the Alpha’s. Someone else had been in here recently and the scent was intoxicating. Oh god! I thought as my wolf howled in my head. I sniffed the air harder, trying to grasp onto it, filling my nostrils with it. “What the fuck are you doing?” The Alpha remarked at my actions. “Mate.”

"You thieving little bitch." She growled as she paced towards me, panting with rage. I began to shake, freezing on the spot with fear, waiting for her to grab me. Thieving? I questioned in my head. What could I have possibly done now? I gulped, tears already beginning to fill my eyes. I braced myself as she came towards me, grabbing a handful of my hair and dragging me back towards the ranch house. I tried to muffle the scream as she dragged me along with her. "Please. Rhonda. I have done nothing wrong. Please." I begged through tears as she continued to drag me towards the porch, throwing me into the front door. "Nothing wrong? Get to your room now!" She barked her orders. I quickly stumbled to my feet, opened the door and ran into the ranch house towards my bedroom. Emelia and Antonio sat on the couch staring at me as I rushed into the house. "Well, well, well. If it isn't the thief," Emelia muttered in disgust. I ignored her taunts, following my orders and running straight into my room. I gasped in horror when I saw that my entire bedroom had been trashed. The mattress had been ripped from the bed and my money was gone. I knew my presence being ignored earlier was too good to be true. Tears streamed down my face as I knew I was facing an impending doom. "How dare you steal from me!" Rhonda shouted. I could hear the thudding of her stumbling steps, making her way closer to my bedroom. I began to panic, my heart pounded so loudly it drowned out the sound of her shuffling feet. My senses were all over the place as I began to have a panic attack. "Please Rhonda, I didn't steal it from you." I pleaded as she paced to my bedroom door. "You lying, ungrateful bitch!" She growled as she lunged towards me, kicking me in the stomach, sending me falling to my knees. It knocked the wind out of me and instantly I began to struggle for air. I pushed through the pain in the complete realization that she could possibly be about to kill me. If this was the end for me, I had a few choice words in mind for her. "Fuck you." Were the only words I could muster as I coughed blood onto the floor in front of me. The sound of her gasp filled the air, pulling me to reality. I couldn't decide at that moment if I had just been incredibly brave or incredibly stupid. Before my brain could muster another thought, agonizing pain ricoched through my head with such force that I hit the ground hard. My head bounced against the hard wooden floor beneath me. My vision began to blur, and the sound of white noise filled my ear drums. After a few seconds I came back round, turning my head slightly to see Rhonda in my line of sight. Blood dripped from the rings on her fingers as she waved her clenched fist in the air. Without a moments noticed, she jumped onto me, raising her fist in the air again, ready to swing for another hit. I closed my eyes, bracing for the next impact that would possibly end my miserable life. My vision blurred in and out of focus and I could swear that a black silhouette appeared behind her. A loud roar shook the room, startling both of us. "GET THE FUCK OFF MY MATE!" A familiar voice growled behind Rhonda. Before she could even turn her head to acknowledge the angry man behind her, he grabbed her. Launching her across the room into the bedroom wall. Her body bounced from it, hitting the floor hard, knocking her unconscious instantly.
