DARIUS POV Last night was amazing. Daya and I connected in ways I never imagined. We didn’t just have sex. We promised ourselves to each other. We spoke about our future. I haven’t thought about my future since Calvin died. Since losing him, I’ve lived day to day, checking boxes, completing tasks, and trying to hold myself together for the good of my pack. Now, with Daya, I feel like I have a purpose again. Not that my pack wasn’t a purpose to live, but over time, I resented my role as Alpha because I had to do it, it was never a choice for me to make, or a choice I had time to process. One minute, I was the carefree younger brother of Alpha Calvin Barnett, the next, my brother was dead, and I was the new Alpha. How can I love a role that was never mine to have, not in this way at least? But Daya, fuck. She sees me. I think as an alpha female and older sister, she understands the pressure I experience. She also doesn’t stroke my ego like other she-wolves. Daya calls me out on my

DAYA POV I saw red. More specifically, I saw pink. A hot pink sports bra, with giant boobs spilling out, forcing everyone’s eyes to them like beacons. I don’t remember shifting, my wolf took control as jealousy and rage, fueled her. The need to show this bitch that Darius is mine is my only thought. I was mid-air, my claws out, ready to rip into her perfect skin and delicate body. I feel myself being jolted back by some unknown force. I hit the ground behind me and realize that Darius had grabbed me by the scruff and yanked me back before I could do anything. Why would he stop me? Did he still have feelings for Mara? My wolf whimpered at the thought. I didn’t want to show weakness in front of all these wolves. I thrashed, trying to shake him off me, but he continued to pin my wolf down. I didn’t realize how strong Darius was until this moment. “Shift!” He growls out to me, pushing his Alpha aura out. I smirk, knowing his command will not work on me, since I am an Alpha female.

DARIUS POV I don’t know what to believe, or who to believe, anymore. Justin was one of my closest friends. We grew up together. We helped each other through some of the shittiest times of our lives. He became one of the best warriors in the pack and earned his spot as lead trainer. I have no idea when he lost his way and resented me so much. Mara. I thought she was obsessed with becoming Luna and having power. Maybe she still is, and somehow Justin convinced her to join him. And Daya? Is she even really my mate? Has this all been a lie? She has always kept me at a distance and hesitant to be with me. Justin was the one who found her and brought her here. She disrespected me on her first night here. She lived next door to Justin this entire time. Are they chosen mates? Everything is too much of a coincidence for me to trust any of it. I am overwhelmed. Overwhelmed by anger, betrayal, loss, pain. You name it, I’m feeling it. And Daya is right there, still trying to convince me I c

MARA POV “Bring her to the cells.” It was music to my ears to hear Darius speak those words. I hid behind the tree line and kept my scent masked. I just needed to make sure that fight wasn’t an act on his part. I need to ensure he truly hated her. I hate her. This is exactly how it was supposed to go. He was always supposed to be mine. I have been in love with Darius since I can remember; before he was even Alpha. I was on my own for so long and Darius was always so nice to me. ***Flashback 13 years ago*** “Marianna, make sure you’re wearing your black dress. We have to leave soon sweetie.” My Aunt Stella called out to me from downstairs. I was in my room, hiding under the covers. My mom is her sister…was her sister. My mom got that bad sickness that so many other wolves were dying from. I didn’t think she would get it because Daddy hasn’t lived with us in a while, but Mommy said he would come back one day. I thought mommies and daddies had to live together to get sick. I was

DAYA POV “Hey! Let us out! We haven’t done anything wrong! Fucking assholes!” “Amy, stop yelling. Nobody is listening to us. Save your energy.” “Sorry, I’m not willing to just roll over and be held captive like you, Emmy. Maybe you’re into bondage, but not me.” “Chill out Amy! We are in this together. We all told Daya we would be here with her no matter what. This is the no matter what.” “Saph is right. Can we just calm down and wait for Daya to wake up? I wish they would take those chains off her. Is she going to be okay, Saph?” “Yea, Pearl. She’s going to be fine. I’ll try and wake her again.” “No need. I’m awake. Hard not to sleep with you four squawking at each other.” I roll over, facing my sisters in the opposite cell. I flinch as the silver chains shift around my wrists and ankles, burning untouched parts of my skin. At least they had the kindness to give me a long shirt, so I didn’t have to stay naked after my fight with Darius. I hate him for putting my sist
Fearing Fate Chapter 46
DARIUS POV Scraps of paper are flying all around me. Splintered furniture is scattered all over the floor. Dust particles from the wall being punched repeatedly fill the air. My office is no longer a quiet sanctuary; it is a portal of chaos and fury. I can’t stop. I need to destroy everything. If I stop, I will feel everything. Images and brief memories threaten to invade my mind. Stolen glances with Daya. I punch a wall to forget. Holding her in my arms and feeling those wonderful sparks. I slam a chair down on the floor. Hearing her laugh while we run through the woods together. I scream and roar to drown out her beautiful voice. I don’t even hear Lucas creep into my office. “Darius, you have to stop!” He shouts to me. I don’t know how long I’ve been in self-destruct mode. I reach for a photo of Calvin that made its way onto the floor. I clutch it tightly in my hand and bring my arm back, ready to smash it against the wall. Before I can release the picture frame, I feel

DAYA POV “Daya?! What’s wrong? Is it the chains?” Pearl asks in a complete frenzy. I am unable to answer as my body is wracked with intense pleasure and surges of energy. My wolf is pressing forward, trying to take control. But the silver in the chains is forbidding the shift and causing her pain. It’s a crazy see-saw of pain and pleasure I’m experiencing. “What the fuck?” I hear Amy’s confusion as well. I almost want to laugh at her response. But all my focus is on trying to placate my wolf. She is battling me for control, even more, this second full moon, unwilling to not have the mate bond confirmed. “Amy, Pearl, relax. She is okay. Sort of. It’s a full moon. The mate bond is manifesting again. It will be like this all night until the moon is gone,” Amy says solemnly. I turn away from my sisters, facing the cold, concrete wall. I can’t bear to see them pitying me in this state. I have officially hit the lowest point in my life- bound in silver chains, in a dungeon, sufferi
Fearing Fate Chapter 48
DARIUS POV One minute, I’m uncovering hidden secrets about my brother. The next, I’m feeling the intense, and all-too-familiar pull of the full moon. The mate bond. My wolf is pushing forward, trying to take control. He is fighting me more than last month. “Are you okay, Darius?” Lucas asks me with a combination of confusion and concern. All I can do is nod. I struggle against the urges of my wolf and practically run out of my office. I hear Lucas right behind me. I’m briefly forced to the back of my mind. When I regain control, we are standing outside the building that holds the dungeons. I begin pacing back and forth, my hands running through my hair. “She’s here…” I growl. “Who is here?” Lucas asks. “My mate. She is here. In the dungeons,” I say angrily. I’m angry at myself for having my mate locked up. I am also angry at her still. She lied to me over and over. I don’t know if I can truly trust this bond. My wolf is going crazy, fighting me for control to find our
