She was born to serve, never to dream. Ravyn spent her life caged in abuse and servitude, an orphan raised on bruises and silence. Her only hope? The sacred bond of a mate. But when her destined mate, Prince Lucien, rejects her in front of the world, she's cast aside like nothing more than a stain on royal blood. Then she's forced into marriage with Darius Blackthorn, a cursed, dying prince, broken in body and hunted by traitors. Her new role? Be his burial bride. But Darius, cold and cruel at first glance, is not what he seems. Beneath the rot and resentment, Ravyn uncovers something rare: kindness. Trust. A man worthy of her love. And when her blood reveals a secret powerful enough to save him, she offers everything-her heart, her body, even her future. Only to be betrayed. Years later, a queen rises from the shadows. She wears Ravyn's face, bears Ravyn's fury, but carries none of her mercy. She did not return for forgiveness. She came for vengeance. Bound to the Dying Alpha Prince is a tale of survival, betrayal, and rebirth. Where love blooms in ruin, and a girl who was meant to mourn... learns to burn.

Bound To The Dying Alpha Prince Chapter 1 The Caged Howl

Ravyn's POV

"Please! Please stop! I swear I won't rest anymore. I-I'll keep working. Just tell me what you want, just stop!"

My voice broke with desperation, echoing in the cold stone room. But the blows only got harder.

"Ungrateful little wretch! We feed you, clothe you, let you stay under our roof and this is how you repay us. By slacking off?"

Her voice struck deeper than her fists.

"And wipe that look off your face. If you glare at me again, I'll claw your eyes out myself."

Kimberly-my so-called foster mother snarled the words like venom. I have no memory of my real parents. The Ashridge family claimed they found me in the woods, bleeding and half-eaten by a lion. They 'rescued' me. But they didn't save me.

They enslaved me.

The food they gave me? Scraps, picked clean by others. The clothes? Threadbare rags cast off by the maids. The home? A mildew-infested shack tucked away at the edge of the estate. It barely kept the cold out. I had been their maid, their servant, their scapegoat. Since I was old enough to walk, I've toiled for their approval. Cooking, cleaning, tending livestock. But to them, I was less than the servants. Less than human.

If I'd known what their version of 'mercy' looked like, I would have chosen death that day in the forest.

I turned eighteen today. At midnight, I would finally gain my wolf. That sacred moment I had waited for my entire life. Just one day, just one I wanted to rest. But when I hesitated at another pile of chores, Kimberly snapped.

Her slap whipped across my face, pain blooming instantly. My vision swam. The kicks came fast, sharp and punishing. Each strike lit my nerves aflame. I crumpled, weak and unable to shield myself. When they were done, they left me crumpled in the barn, like discarded refuse.

Tears carved hot trails down my cheeks. My body trembled.

"Moon Goddess," I whispered into the dark. "Please... if you're real, grant me a strong wolf. Let me break free. Let this be the end of my cage."

Midnight crept in quietly. The moonlight filtered through the wooden cracks in the barn walls, bathing the floor in silver.

And then I felt it.

A surge. Fierce and wild. It roared through my veins like a storm waking from centuries of slumber. My bones ached and cracked. Fire danced beneath my skin. I screamed, not from fear, but from raw power bursting to life.

Then everything changed.

I shifted. My form expanded, reshaped. Fur silver as moonlight covered me. In the reflection of a puddle, I caught sight of her, my wolf. Powerful. Elegant. Breathtaking.

But my body, battered and broken, could not hold the form. Darkness dragged me under.

When I woke up, I was back inside the Ashridge home. Dazed. Weak. My body is still aching.

"Put this on," Kimberly snapped, tossing a white dress at me. Her eyes gleamed with something I couldn't place, malice, maybe. Satisfaction.

I caught the dress, confusion weighing down my limbs.

Then came the voice I hated most-Seraphina.

"Aww, poor Ravyn. That's the nicest thing you'll ever wear. Don't worry. You'll only need it for your wedding today."

Wedding?

My stomach dropped.

"To whom?" My voice trembled.

Seraphina grinned like a cat playing with a wounded mouse. "To Darius. The dying Alpha. You should be thankful. "If it weren't for this, you'd never have gotten within sniffing distance of Alpha blood."

Darius? The one with the reputation for cruelty? The Alpha whose wives kept dying under mysterious circumstances? Rumors whispered he was cursed. Or worse, he was the curse.

They were selling me to a man on his deathbed.

"No. No, I won't do it," I gasped.

Kimberly's face twisted. "You think you have a choice? We've fed you for eighteen years. It's time to repay your debt."

"You didn't raise me! You used me like a slave! You never cared whether I lived or died!"

Her hand flew again. This time, it knocked me off my feet. My cheek burned, but something inside me... cracked.

I wouldn't let them use me anymore. I wouldn't be their pawn.

They locked me in my room. Starved me. Warned the servants to stay away. But I overheard their whispers.

The truth.

Seraphina was supposed to marry Darius. That was the agreement with the royal family. But Kimberly chose me instead, the orphan no one would miss.

That was all I needed to hear.

When they dragged me out to dress me for the ceremony, I didn't resist. I waited.

I watched.

And when the gate opened, I ran.

On my way out, I slammed into someone.

I stumbled back. And that's when I smelled it.

That scent, earthy, wild, powerful. It crashed over me like thunder and wrapped around my senses. My breath caught.

Mate.

My wolf surged within me. I looked up slowly.

Lucien.

My foster sister's boyfriend.

Shock froze me. My body trembled as the others caught up, their eyes bouncing between us.

"Lucien?" Seraphina's voice dripped with disbelief. No. She can't be, she's a filthy Omega. You can't be serious."

Shame flushed through me. I dropped my gaze.

Then his hand gently tilted my chin up. His eyes held mine. Something sparked.

Hope.

Was it possible? Could he accept me?

Lucien was next in line to lead the entire pack. If he claimed me, he could destroy everything the Ashridges had built.

For years, I'd loved him in silence. But I was invisible to him.

Until now.

"Mate," I whispered, my voice trembling.

He smiled.

For a moment, my heart soared.

Then his lips parted and shattered me.

"Honestly... you're a disappointment."

My heart stopped.

"You're nothing like the mate I imagined. It's almost funny, really."

I swallowed, unable to breathe. "What... what did you say?"

He didn't flinch.

"I reject you, Omega. I refuse to accept you as my mate."

And just like that, the bond snapped and I broke.

For two years, I was the invisible force behind tech billionaire Kieran Douglas, convinced that our "private" romance was his way of protecting us from the tabloid spotlight. I managed his mergers, warmed his bed, and waited for a future that didn't exist. The illusion shattered at 6:00 AM when a Page Six alert debuted Kieran’s "real" romance with socialite Aspen Schneider. Before I could even process the betrayal, Kieran sent me a cold, professional text: "Order flowers for Aspen. Pink peonies. Her favorite." When I tried to walk away, my own mother called me a disgrace and threatened to lock my inheritance forever unless I married a sixty-year-old businessman to save her failing estate. At a high-society gala that same night, Aspen intentionally crushed my burned hand in front of the cameras, while Kieran stood by and dismissed me as a "mediocre assistant" who had overstayed her welcome. I stood in the cold New York rain, drenched in champagne and humiliation, realizing that every sacrifice I made for Kieran was a joke. I was a ghost in a penthouse that was never mine, discarded the moment his "soulmate" returned. To the world, I was just a placeholder whose time had run out. But Kieran forgot one thing: my father’s multi-million dollar trust fund unlocks the moment I legally marry. I didn't need love; I needed a signature and a shield. I walked into a discreet law firm and signed a marriage contract with a man I believed was the city’s most notorious, scandal-ridden playboy. I thought I was marrying a degenerate "beard" to buy my freedom and secure my revenge. I didn't realize the man who signed that paper wasn't a playboy at all, but Gaston Collins—the most powerful and dangerous man on Wall Street—and he had no intention of letting our fake marriage stay fake.

I stood at my mother’s open grave in the freezing rain, my heels sinking into the mud. The space beside me was empty. My husband, Hilliard Holloway, had promised to cherish me in bad times, but apparently, burying my mother didn't fit into his busy schedule. While the priest’s voice droned on, a news alert lit up my phone. It was a livestream of the Metropolitan Charity Gala. There was Hilliard, looking impeccable in a custom tuxedo, with his ex-girlfriend Charla English draped over his arm. The headline read: "Holloway & English: A Power Couple Reunited?" When he finally returned to our penthouse at 2 AM, he didn't come alone—he brought Charla with him. He claimed she’d had a "medical emergency" at the gala and couldn't be left alone. I found a Tiffany diamond necklace on our coffee table meant for her birthday, and a smudge of her signature red lipstick on his collar. When I confronted him, he simply told me to stop being "hysterical" and "acting like a child." He had no idea I was seven months pregnant with his child. He thought so little of my grief that he didn't even bother to craft a convincing lie, laughing with his mistress in our home while I sat in the dark with a shattered heart and a secret life growing inside me. "He doesn't deserve us," I whispered to the darkness. I didn't scream or beg. I simply left a folder on his desk containing signed divorce papers and a forged medical report for a terminated pregnancy. I disappeared into the night, letting him believe he had successfully killed his own legacy through his neglect. Five years later, Hilliard walked into "The Vault," the city's most exclusive underground auction, looking for a broker to manage his estate. He didn't recognize me behind my Venetian mask, but he couldn't ignore the neon pink graffiti on his armored Maybach that read "DEADBEAT." He had no clue that the three brilliant triplets currently hacking his security system were the very children he thought had been erased years ago. This time, I wasn't just a wife in the way; I was the one holding all the cards.

The heavy thud of the release stamp was the only goodbye I got from the warden after five years in federal prison. I stepped out into the blinding sun, expecting the same flash of paparazzi bulbs that had seen me dragged away in handcuffs, but there was only a single black limousine idling on the shoulder of the road. Inside sat my mother and sister, clutching champagne and looking at my frayed coat with pure disgust. They didn't offer a welcome home; instead, they tossed a thick legal document onto the table and told me I was dead to the city. "Gavin and I are getting engaged," my sister Mia sneered, flicking a credit card at me like I was a stray dog. "He doesn't need a convict ex-fiancée hanging around." Even after I saved their lives from an armed kidnapping attempt by ramming the attackers off the road, they rewarded me by leaving me stranded in the dirt. When I finally ran into Gavin, the man who had framed me, he pinned me against a wall and threatened to send me back to a cell if I ever dared to show my face at their wedding. They had stolen my biotech research, ruined my name, and let me rot for half a decade while they lived off my brilliance. They thought they had broken me, leaving me with nothing but an expired chapstick and a few old photos in a plastic bag. What they didn't know was that I had spent those five years becoming "Dr. X," a shadow consultant with five hundred million dollars in crypto and a secret that would bring the city to its knees. I wasn't just a victim anymore; I was a weapon, and I was pregnant with the heir they thought they had erased. I walked into the Melton estate and made an offer to the most powerful man in New York. "I'll save your grandfather's life," I told Horatio Melton, staring him down. "But the price is your last name. I'm taking back what's mine, and I'm starting with the man who thinks he's marrying my sister."

I arrived at the hotel with Julian's favorite takeout, ready to surprise my fiancé before our big merger. But the moment I swiped the keycard, the silence of the hallway felt heavy and wrong. Inside, a red-soled stiletto lay on the marble floor-the same one I'd watched my best friend Lila try on at Saks last week. Through the cracked bedroom door, I watched Julian's back arch as Lila looked me straight in the eye and smiled, wrapping her legs tighter around him to mock my heartbreak. I fled to the penthouse to hide, only to find Grafton, Julian's "crippled" brother, waiting in the dark. To my horror, the man who was supposed to be paralyzed stood up from his wheelchair, gripped my chin with cold fingers, and forced me to sign a contract that gave him control of my family's shares. He knew about my mother's secret medical bills and used them to buy my silence, effectively turning my life into a calculated game of corporate chess. The betrayal tasted like acid, and the injustice of it all burned in my throat. My fiancé was a liar, my best friend was a thief, and the man now controlling my fate was a predator who had been faking his disability for years. I couldn't understand how everyone I trusted had turned out to be a monster. I was trapped between a man who cheated on me and a man who wanted to own me, with no way out and no one to turn to. But when Julian came looking for me, Grafton didn't hide; he stood tall, looming over me with a possessive glint in his eyes. "Help me destroy Julian," I rasped, realizing that to survive the Faulkner men, I had to become the most dangerous player of them all.

I lived as the "scarred ghost" of the Stephens penthouse, a wife kept in the shadows because my facial burns offended my billionaire husband’s aesthetic. For years, I endured Kason’s coldness and my family's abuse, a submissive puppet who believed she had nowhere else to go. The end came with a blue folder tossed onto my silk sheets. Kason’s mistress was back, and he wanted me out by sunset, offering a five-million-dollar "silence fee" to go hide my face in the countryside. The betrayal cut deep when I discovered my father had already traded my divorce for a corporate bailout. My step-sister mocked my "trashy" appearance at a high-end boutique, while the sales staff treated me like a common thief. At home, my father threatened to cut off my mother's life-saving medicine unless I crawled back to Kason to beg for a better deal. I was the girl who took the blame for a fire she didn't start, the wife who worshipped a man who never looked her in the eye, and the daughter used as a human bargaining chip. I was supposed to be broken, penniless, and desperate. But the woman who stood up wasn't the weak Elease Finch anymore; she was Phoenix, a tactical predator with a $500 million secret. I signed the divorce papers without a single tear, walked past my stunned husband, and wiped the Finch family's bank accounts clean with a few taps on my phone. "Your money is dirty," I told Kason with a cold smile. "I prefer clean hands." The cage is open, the hunt has begun, and I’m starting with the people who thought a scar made me weak.
