BOUND BY THE ALPHA'S DARK SECRETUpdated at Oct 23, 2024, 06:01
Betrayed. My world fell apart the instant I entered Luca, my mate, in bed with my sister. The suffering of the broken mate connection wrecked me—my wolf howling in hopelessness and my heart yearning for retribution. But I am no more the shattered girl he may have destroyed. If pain had lessons, they would be that retribution is a potent weapon. I have Alpha Sebastian, Luca's estranged father, in mind. He is the type of power my wolf yearns for—dangerous, fierce, and merciless. I intend to use him, flirt with him, and have Luca pay for every ounce of suffering he brought about for me. But I made a mistake about Sebastian. Benevolent on the surface, underneath which hides a darkness reflecting my own brokenness that draws me in. Having watched me for years, he now wants my heart, my soul, and the relentless allegiance of my wolf rather than simply my body. Sebastian has awful secrets, though. My need for retribution clashes with something far more frightening than I could have ever imagined as I descended into his universe. Every touch, every murmured promise blurs the line separating need from retribution. I should go even if my heart no longer feels like mine. Still, Sebastian has a strong hold, and my wolf already rests with him. I stand now at a crossroads. Should I give in to a love that could ruin us both or hang onto the wrath that used to drive me? Old wounds festering and ancient pack rivalries threatening to separate us force me to consider if retribution is worth the risk—or whether it would bring about our total ruin. Ariana is my name; hence, this is not only a fight for retribution. I struggle for my soul here.
