All Chapters of Fated Bond: Chased By My Alpha Mate: Chapter 1 - Chapter 7

Lorraine's Pov The day had come. The day I had heavily anticipated for years. There were many dragonflies in my belly and lots of jumbled nerves. I paced around my room, thinking of whether he was going to show up. He hadn't replied to my last letter, which was a lot to take in. "Perhaps he wants to surprise you?" My subconscious whispered. I facepalmed myself, knowing Callum knew I was not too fond of surprises. I decided to get dressed and hope for the best. Callum's favorite color was red, and it seemed like a befitting color to wear. Alpha Callum was the definition of sweet and fiery hot. He was perfect, the kind of man who knew how to push a lady's button, and he was mine alone. I giggled at my thoughts, applying the final touches of my makeup and wearing the necklace that Callum had gifted me. He made with tourmaline crystals, which he had hunted by himself, and he had given the order to the best jeweler in the city. I heard the trumpet sound, indicating the arrival o

Callum's PovAnother Friday afternoon, another bowl of popcorn and another glass of orange juice with Theo.It had become a routine for both of us. Every Friday, the little man would skip school and stay back home with me, claiming he wanted to be like me because I didn't go to the company on Fridays. At first, I found it strange, but lately, it had grown on me.We sat on the couch in the living room, staring at the flat-screened television, trying to find something exciting. The sound of the television in front of us was a bit distracting as I was trying to converse with Liam, my beta, through our mind link. I wanted him to bring in more snacks and maybe a bottle of wine for me.Theo seemed pretty invested, though, taking deep sips from his lidded cup while he stared at the screen.Why he still uses a sippy cup at six, I'll never know.“Dad?” The little thing cocks his head in that precocious little gesture toward the TV screen. "Who's that?"I turned my attention to the screen and

Lorraine's Pov I couldn't help but feel a deep, seething anger. How could Callum be so callous, so insensitive, to bring a child into my life?My jaw clenched as I stared at the beta and the child who looked much like the man I had loved. "Please go away. I don't want to see you or that child in my office." I said desperately, trying to calm down with my eyes glaring at Liam. I felt a deep sense of embarrassment. Embarrassment that I expected Callum to come, but instead, I had found his child here.There was a small part of me that believed he had changed, and I was angry at myself for believing such nonsense. "No, I don't want to go. " The child mumbled"I want this pretty journalist to help me to find my mother. "Immediately, I heard his voice; something snapped in me. "Get out right now, and I don't want to see you or this child ever again." I said to Liam.Neither Liam nor the baby moved."Please, I just want to find my mom." His voice even had an uncanny resemblance to Call

Callum's PovThe war didn't start with fire. It started with silence.I remember standing at the border of my late father's territory, watching three of our scouts get carried back in pieces. Not dead. But worse, marked. Someone wanted us to know they could have killed them and chose not to.That was the kind of enemy we were dealing with. Patient and cruel in a way that made your skin crawl before you even knew why."You're thinking about it again." Mace's voice rumbled low in my head.I have to."No. You don't. What's done is done." I ignored him and let the memory keep playing.Back then, Lorraine didn't have her wolf yet, still don't know if she does now. But she couldn't shift. Nothing to defend herself with except me. And I had a war on three fronts and enemies who specialized in finding exactly what you loved most and burning it to ash in front of you.My father had called me into his study the night everything changed. I still remember the smell of that room—old wood, whiske
