Bound by Blood, Freed by Fury Selene was born into the Crescent Moon Pack, the daughter of a powerful Beta. She was loyal, strong, and ready to serve. But when the Alpha's son falsely accused her of treason, she was cast out, beaten, and left to die. The pack she once loved turned their backs on her. She survived. With the help of rogue wolves and a mysterious mentor, Selene became something more-stronger, faster, deadlier. She abandoned the weak girl who begged for mercy and became a warrior fueled by vengeance. The pack that betrayed her thought she was gone forever, but she has returned, no longer bound by their rules. One by one, she will tear down those who wronged her. The Alpha who gave the order, the warriors who carried it out, and the mate who stood by and watched. They thought blood made them family, but she will show them that fury is stronger than any bond. Now, she is back-not as the helpless girl they exiled, but as the storm that will drown them all. And this time, no mercy will be given. She was bound by blood. Now, she will be freed by fury.

Chapter 1 The Fall

"Get up, Selene."

The harsh voice of the Crescent Moon Pack's training master echoed across the field. Selene groaned, her body aching as she pushed herself up from the dirt. The early morning sun cast long shadows on the training ground, but she barely noticed. All she could focus on was the pain in her ribs and the sharp taste of blood in her mouth.

Across from her, Owen, one of the stronger warriors-in-training, smirked. His knuckles were red from their last exchange. He rolled his shoulders, ready for another attack.

"Too slow," he taunted.

Selene clenched her fists. She wasn't weak. She had trained for this moment all her life. As the daughter of the Beta, she was expected to be strong, to protect the pack, to serve her Alpha. She had dreamed of becoming an elite warrior, someone her people could be proud of.

She charged at Owen again, twisting at the last second to dodge his strike. Using his momentum against him, she drove her elbow into his ribs. He stumbled, cursing. The other trainees murmured in surprise.

"Enough."

A deep voice silenced the whispers.

Lucian.

The Alpha's son.

Selene stiffened as he approached. His golden eyes gleamed with amusement, but she knew better than to trust his smile. Lucian was cruel. He enjoyed watching others suffer-especially her.

"Training is over," he announced. His gaze lingered on Selene before he turned away. "The Alpha has called for a gathering. Be there in five minutes."

The trainees scattered, eager to obey. Selene wiped the sweat from her brow, trying to shake off the uneasy feeling creeping up her spine. Something about Lucian's tone made her stomach twist.

She didn't know that this was the last time she would stand among them as one of their own.

The entire pack gathered in the clearing near the Alpha's home. The air was thick with tension. Selene stood near the front, her father beside her. Beta Nathan was a strong man, his dark hair streaked with silver, his face lined with years of loyalty to the pack.

Alpha Gregor stood at the top of the stone steps, his powerful frame radiating authority. Beside him was Lucian, smirking as if he had already won a game only he knew the rules to.

"A crime has been committed against this pack," Alpha Gregor's voice boomed. "A crime of betrayal."

Murmurs spread through the crowd. Selene's frown deepened.

"Selene, step forward."

Her breath caught in her throat. Every eye turned to her. Confused, she stepped forward.

"Selene," the Alpha said, his expression unreadable, "you are accused of plotting against the pack. You have been caught conspiring with rogues."

The words hit her like a physical blow. Her chest tightened. "What? No! I would never betray the pack!"

Lucian took a step forward, his eyes gleaming with false sorrow. "Selene, I saw you. You met with a rogue beyond the borders last night. I heard your plan to overthrow the Alpha. You were going to weaken our defenses, let them in."

The crowd erupted in gasps and growls.

Selene's heart pounded. "That's a lie! I never left the pack last night! I was in my home!"

But no one listened. The Alpha's face hardened. "You have broken our laws, Selene. The punishment is exile-or death."

Her father turned to the Alpha, his voice strained. "Alpha, she's my daughter. I know she would never-"

"Enough," the Alpha snapped. "Do you question my judgment, Beta Nathan?"

Her father's jaw clenched. "No, Alpha."

Selene turned to her mate, Darius, her last hope. He stood among the warriors, his green eyes locked onto hers.

"Darius, please," she whispered.

He said nothing. He did nothing.

Her heart shattered.

Then, before she could react, warriors grabbed her arms, forcing her to her knees.

"You will pay for your betrayal," Lucian whispered as he passed her.

The next thing she heard was her mother's scream.

Then the sound of claws ripping through flesh.

Blood splattered onto the ground.

Selene turned her head just in time to see her mother fall, her body lifeless, her eyes empty.

For a moment, the world stopped.

Then the pain came, sharp and unbearable. A scream tore from her throat, but no one cared. The warriors dragged her toward the gates as her mother's body lay behind her, forgotten.

The cold night air stung her bruised skin as she was thrown onto the hard ground outside the pack's borders.

"You are no longer one of us," the Alpha's voice rang in her ears. "If you return, you will die."

The gates slammed shut.

Selene lay there, her body aching, her heart broken. The people she had loved, the pack she had been willing to die for, had cast her out.

She was truly alone.

Selene lay in the dirt, her body trembling from pain and shock. The cold night air wrapped around her like death's embrace, chilling her to the bone. The metallic taste of blood filled her mouth, and every breath sent a sharp ache through her ribs. But none of it compared to the hollow, crushing agony in her chest.

Her mother was dead and her heart ache as she recalled the scream of her mother.

Her mate had abandoned her.

Her pack had thrown her away like she was nothing.

Tears blurred her vision, but she refused to let them fall. She had cried enough.

A distant howl echoed through the forest. A warning. The night belonged to the wild-rogues, beasts, and creatures that would tear apart anything foolish enough to be alone.

And she was alone.

A rustling came from the trees ahead. Low, guttural growls followed. Glowing eyes flickered between the branches.

Wolves.

But they didn't look like her pack.

They were Rogues.

Selene tried to push herself up, but her limbs were weak. She had no strength left. The growls grew closer. A dark shape stepped out of the shadows, its yellow eyes locked onto her like she was prey. She would rather die to the rogues than bear the pain of her mother's death. Her father stood there doing nothing.

As she was deep in her thoughts , the wolf lunged.

And everything went black.

I sat on the cold tile floor of our Upper East Side penthouse, staring at the two pink lines until my vision blurred. After ten years of loving Julian Sterling and three years of a hollow marriage, I finally had the one thing that could bridge the distance between us. I was pregnant. But Julian didn't come home with flowers for our anniversary. He tossed a thick manila envelope onto the marble coffee table with a heavy thud. Fiona, the woman he'd truly loved for years, was back in New York, and he told me our "business deal" was officially over. "Sign it," He said, his voice flat and devoid of emotion. He looked at me with the cold detachment of a man selling a piece of unwanted furniture. When I hesitated, he told me to add a zero to the alimony if the money wasn't enough. I realized in that moment that if he knew about the baby, he wouldn't love me; he would simply take my child and give it to Fiona to raise. I shoved the pregnancy test into my pocket, signed the papers with a shaking hand, and lied through my teeth. When my morning sickness hit, I slumped to the floor to hide the truth. "It's just cramps," I gasped, watching him recoil as if I were contagious. To make him stay away, I invented a man named Jack-a fake boyfriend who supposedly gave me the kindness Julian never could. Suddenly, the man who wanted me gone became a monster of possessiveness. He threatened to "bury" a man who didn't exist while leaving me humiliated at his family's dinner to rush to Fiona's side. I was so broken that I even ate a cake I was deathly allergic to, then had to refuse life-saving steroids at the hospital because they would harm the fetus. Julian thinks he's stalling the divorce for two months to protect the family's reputation for his father's Jubilee. He thinks he's keeping his "property" on a short leash until the press dies down. He has no idea I'm using those sixty days to build a fortress for my child. By the time he realizes the truth, I'll be gone, and the Sterling heir will be far beyond his reach.
