Bound By Love And Prophecy
"Yield Jessica! You know you can't defeat her!"
"This is foolishness, Jess! You have to end it. Your bones are broken, and you are bleeding. If this continues, she will kill you!"
They said to her through the mind-link. With her eyes glaring at her opponent, and a grin playing on her busted lips, she said the word, "Never."
Everyone thought she was insane and stupid, but not him—not the Alpha of the Blackwood pack.
Michael sat in his chair, staring at her. She wasn't a Warrior or a Shifter; she wasn't even an Awakened yet. He couldn't explain what was going on. He was drawn to her, and he didn't know why.
Never in Jessica's life did she think a day like this would come. Being the weakest person in the Redwood Pack, she was always treated badly. From the day she was brought to the pack, she was considered a nobody. But that all changed when Alpha Michael arrived.
As mysteries begin to unfold, and prophecies resurface, will things get better for Jessica, or will it all get worse?

Chapter: 90_Using The Powers Within Again Jessica's POV“Jessica!” Someone screamed.Eric was beside me in an instant, his sword glowing with a faint silver light.He swung at the wraith, the blade passing through it — not solid enough to kill it, but enough to make it recoil with a shriek."What the..." My voice faded.I was stunned.This was bad. The sword didn't cause much damage to it like before.Jake and Chris fought back-to-back, Chris’s blade cutting through the air while Jake hurled daggers made of pure silver. They didn’t kill the wraiths, but they slowed them down, making them dissolve into mist before reforming again.“They don’t die!” Jake shouted. “Why?”“Because these are souls bound by blood magic!” Evelyn yelled, her hands glowing even brighter. “We have to break the magic holding them here — or they’ll just keep coming!”My eyes shut to her.That was new information.How did she know?One wraith darted toward her, but before it could reach her, Evelyn threw out a bolt of blue light.It struck the creature, m

Chapter: 089_On Werewolf Soil?Jessica's POVWe headed on our way again, through the forest.This was the second day, and hopefully, we were closer to the Redwood Pack.Crossing a line of weirdly shaped trees, my stomach twisted.That smell hit me again. But I didn't say anything about it.There was no need to spark a flame of fear in others.But the more went deeper, the more the smell grew stronger.The scent of blood thickened with every step — sharp, metallic, and cold. It clung to the air, heavy and suffocating, but there was something else beneath it — a sickly undertone — just like the one back at the Pack that led me into the woods.The smell of death.No one said a word, but from the looks of things — this time — I wasn't the only one who caught the scent.Jake, usually the first to crack a joke, was silent, his hand resting on the hilt of his blade. Chris moved like a shadow beside him, his sharp gaze flickering between the trees, every muscle in his body coiled like a spring. Evelyn's fingers glowed f

Chapter: 88_Everyone Has A Sad StoryJessica's POVI didn’t speak. I didn’t know what to say.Her voice cracked — slightly. "We didn’t know why they attacked. They came at dusk — an entire pack. We tried to fight back, but our magic…" She swallowed hard. "It was gone. Spells fizzled out of our fingertips like smoke. The elders — the same ones who could bend fire and summon storms — were left defenseless."My heart pounded. "What happened?"Evelyn's eyes darkened. "They killed everyone. Tore through the village like it was nothing. I was a child — I didn’t understand why the magic wasn’t working. I hid under a cart while the wolves ripped through the elders like they were made of paper. The trees — the same ones that once shielded us — did nothing. The rivers stopped glowing. It was like Mother Nature herself had abandoned us."The hair on my arms rose.Eric’s jaw was tight, his silence heavier than the night closing in around us.And suddenly, the air felt colder.I couldn’t shake the image from my mind — a land so conne

Chapter: 087_A Witch's Side Of The StoryJessica's POVThe silence grew wider, spreading like a fog around us.“What?” I blurted, my face instantly heating.Evelyn bit back a laugh, and Chris’s stoic expression cracked — the corner of his mouth twitching into a smirk.Jake leaned forward, clearly reveling in my discomfort. “You heard me.”I looked at Eric. He didn’t move, didn’t blink — just stared at me across the fire with an unreadable expression.My stomach flipped. “No.”Jake clutched his chest dramatically. “Aw, come on. It’s just a kiss.”I shook my head, heat creeping up my neck. “I’m not kissing him.”Jake's grin only grew. “Then you know what that means.”I blinked. “What?”Evelyn sighed. “If you refuse a dare, you get a punishment.”Jake tapped his chin in mock thought. “Let’s see… I dare you to walk to that tree.” He pointed to a tall, gnarled tree at the edge of the clearing, its trunk twisted and dark. “With your eyes closed.”I frowned. “That’s it?”Jake smirked. “Oh, you’ll love it. Just you, the dark, and wh

Chapter: 086_A Human Game Jessica's POV"Jake!" Eric Groaned."What?" Jake grinned. "I’m just saying — it's better for her to stick with us than wander off alone."Despite myself, I felt a flicker of amusement. They weren’t exactly welcoming, but they weren’t as stiff and cold as I first thought.Evelyn adjusted her bag again. "We’re here to help, Jessica. Like it or not."I met her gaze for a long moment before finally — reluctantly — uncrossing my arms."Fine," I muttered. "Let’s just get moving."Eric’s smirk was back, but he didn’t say anything this time.The forest seemed darker than I remembered.The trees loomed high above us, their gnarled branches reaching out like skeletal fingers.Shadows stretched long and thin across the narrow path, twisting with every flicker of wind.Somewhere in the distance, a raven cawed, its echo slicing through the silence.I walked near the back of the group, keeping a deliberate distance from Eric and his companions.My thoughts were a tangled mess — Scarlet, the prophec

Chapter: 085_New Sides Of The ProphecyJessica's POVI bit my lower lip, the sharp sting a cruel reminder of just how close I was to drawing blood.Eric's words hung in the air like a storm cloud.None of it made sense.Every scattered piece of information I'd tried so hard to fit together now lay shattered at my feet, a broken puzzle with too many missing pieces.And it was starting to get under my skin."So…" My voice came out steadier than I felt. "What do you suggest I — I mean we — do now?"Eric's hands slid into his pockets, his shoulders stiffening slightly. His usual careless charm was nowhere to be found."Now?" he said, his voice calm, yet firm. "I’m taking you back to your Pack."I blinked, my heart skipping a beat. "The Redwood Pack? Why?"Eric's jaw clenched for a brief moment. "That’s the only way I can think of keeping you safe." His gaze flickered to the trees behind me before meeting my eyes again. "I would’ve preferred to train you myself — to have my people help you control your powers — but—""Wait," I

Chapter: 031_The Shadow of Marcus VanceAvery’s POVThe early morning sunlight filtered through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the penthouse kitchen, and I poured myself a fresh cup of coffee while Andre stood near the counter scrolling through the morning financial papers on his tablet. The front pages were completely covered with pictures of Julian leaving the gala in total disgrace, and the local news anchor was already explaining how the Thorne board had officially stripped him of his executive voting rights during the emergency meeting at eight.I took a slow sip from my mug and leaned against the marble island, and for the first time in months, the heavy weight in my chest felt slightly lighter because my mother’s diamond ring was safely back on my finger."The board didn't even hesitate to cancel the merger agreement, Andre, and they are already discussing a full restructuring of the biotech division without Julian's input," I said, setting my coffee down as he looked

Chapter: 030_The Fall of the Sterling MaskAndre’s POVWe pushed through the glass doors and walked right back into the brightly lit ballroom because the loud shouting near the front stage meant Julian was already trying to gather his primary elite backers for an emergency vote. I kept my hand firmly on Avery’s waist to guide her through the crowded floor, and as we approached the main table, the board chairman stood up with a deeply concerned look on his face because the rumors about the warehouse discovery were already spreading among the guests."Julian, you need to explain these allegations immediately, because several investors have just received digital copies of a personal letter concerning the early Thorne laboratory records, and this looks incredibly bad for our pending merger," the chairman said, his voice carrying over the music as he pointed toward a tablet screen on the table."Those documents are completely fraudulent, Chairman, and my ex-wife is simply working wit

Chapter: 029_The Breaking PointAvery’s POV I stepped away from the terrace railing and walked deeper into the private rose garden because the cold night air was starting to make me shiver, and I needed a moment alone to clear my head while Andre went inside to check on Alexa’s position. The distant music from the ballroom was just a faint hum out here among the high stone walls, but the quiet didn't last long because the heavy sound of leather shoes crunching against the gravel driveway told me someone had followed me from the main doors. I turned around quickly and found Julian standing under the dim garden lights, his face completely pale and his fingers trembling as he pulled the folded pages of my father’s letter out of his tuxedo jacket pocket. "Did you put this garbage in my suit, Avery, or is your new billionaire boyfriend the one playing these childish mind games with my family name?" he demanded, his voice shaking with a mix of intense anger and panic as he marched directly into my personal space.

Chapter: 028_Whispers in the DarkAlexa’s POVI adjusted the catering staff vest I had borrowed from the locker room downstairs, and I slipped quietly through the service corridor behind the grand ballroom because the sound of breaking glass from the terrace area meant Julian was already completely distracted by Andre’s presence. The hallway was mostly deserted except for a few waiters rushing past with trays of empty flutes, and this gave me the perfect opportunity to move toward the private executive suites without drawing any unnecessary attention from the security team.I stopped right outside the heavy oak door of the VIP lounge when I heard the unmistakable sound of Julian’s muffled shouting from the inside, and I immediately pressed my back against the wall to catch every single word of their conversation."You need to calm down right now, Julian, because everyone out on that dance floor saw you lose your temper with Andre, and it is making the main investors incredibly nervous about our merger," Sarah’s sharp

Chapter: 027_A Wolf in the BallroomAndre’s POV"You need to keep your chin up and look straight through him when we walk into that ballroom, Avery, because Julian feeds on any sign of hesitation, and tonight we cannot afford to show a single crack in our armor," I said, adjusting the cuffs of my tuxedo jacket while we waited for the elevator to take us down to the gala lobby.The tense situation with the mysterious SUV outside our building had been resolved after a quick security sweep, and now we were fully focused on the main event of the evening."I am fine, Andre, you don't need to keep coaching me like I am about to break down in front of the board members," she answered, her voice steady as she smoothed out the fabric of her elegant evening gown, though I could still see the slight tremor in her fingers."I am not coaching you because I think you are weak, but I am doing it because Julian is going to use Sarah to provoke you, especially since they think they still hold all the cards regarding your mother's estate

Chapter: 026_The Cold ConfrontationAvery’s POVThe penthouse front door slammed shut behind us, and I finally let the heavy document folder slip from my fingers onto the marble console table because my hands were shaking too violently from the discovery at the warehouse. The elevator ride had been completely silent, and amidst the growing tension between us, Andre decided to take off his wet jacket and throw it over a kitchen barstool before turning around to face me.I stared at the wrinkled velvet pouch containing my father's letter with a look of pure disgust on my face, and I couldn't believe how weak my own flesh and blood had actually been during my mother's final months."Avery, you need to sit down and breathe for a moment, because pacing back and forth across the rug isn't going to change the text inside that envelope," Andre said, his deep voice filling the quiet room as he walked over to the counter to pour a glass of water for me."How am I supposed to sit down when my father literally wrote that he suspect
