Soulbound Alpha: Enemies to Lovers Arranged Marriage Fated Mates Paranormal Shifter Romance (Bloodbound Fates Book 4)

❖ SOULBOUND ALPHA ❖ I've lived my whole life in cages—iron bars, spell-locked rooms, the cold eyes of the people who owned me. Today’s cage just has leather seats, security sigils, and a white dress that smells like lies. I am Seris Thorne, the unwanted daughter of House Thorne. A Remembrancer. A Lightbearer. One brush of my bare skin can steal your memories, fracture your mind, or illuminate every secret you’ve ever tried to bury. My father spent years trying to weaponize me. When he couldn’t control me, he sold me. To Dorian Valtara. Ruthless Alpha. Guardian of a coastal pack standing between our world and the Hollow—an ancient darkness that eats territory, wolves, and souls. To him, I’m a political bargain and a potential threat, delivered to his cliffside fortress as an “unwanted bride” and locked away in an isolation wing with no mirrors and far too many cameras. He thinks distance will keep his pack safe. He’s wrong. The first time my skin meets his, the bond snaps into place—raw, electric, undeniable. My light crashes into his shadows; his memories pour through me like wildfire. I see the blood on his hands, the sister he couldn’t save, the weight of an Alpha who’s been bleeding for his people for far too long. And he sees me. The girl everyone feared to touch. The weapon who never asked to be forged. Our connection wakes more than just the mating mark. The Hollow stirs, tracking my scent, responding to every surge of our power. The stronger our bond grows, the hungrier it becomes. If I lose control, I could break his mind, his pack, his world. If he loses control, he’ll burn everything to keep me from being used again. In a territory where stone remembers every drop of spilled blood and the darkness is learning my name, I have one choice left: Be the monster they sold… or become the light that even an Alpha can’t survive without.
