Bound (Mate Series #2✔)
Alpha Maksim, restless and yearning for his fated mate, finds his world irrevocably altered during a mission to quell a pack riot. Octavia, a strong-willed spinster devoted to orphans, has long accepted a life alone. But destiny has a surprising, explosive plan. When their paths collide amidst chaos, an undeniable connection ignites. Can two souls, both resigned to solitude, embrace the unexpected sweetness of a bond they thought lost forever? Dive into a tale of fated mates, pack politics, and a love that binds them against all odds.

The air crackled with a volatile tension, a thick, suffocating blanket woven from the desperate cries of a neglected pack. Below, nestled in the valley between two imposing hills, Alpha Hansen’s territory seethed. Maksim, his wolf’s fur ruffling in the wind, observed from a distance, the chaos unfolding like a grotesque play.

Warriors, crude and unrefined, struggled to contain the furious mob pressing against the pack house. No one guarded the borders, a glaring oversight that spoke volumes of Alpha Hansen's incompetence. Beside Maksim, Darren and Roman, fellow Alphas and trusted friends, exchanged grim glances.

"Irresponsible and poorest excuse for an Alpha," Roman muttered, his voice laced with disgust. Antonia, Maksim's Beta and practically a sister, smirked at the mention of the Alpha King's offer – hunting land, a tempting reward for quelling this escalating disaster. They descended, the rhythmic thud of their pack warriors’ paws shaking the very ground, a silent promise of intervention.
