• FANGS OF DECEIT (Bounded by Blood and Lies)   PROVE YOURSELF

  Chapter 54: Prove Yourself Louis POV….The air was thick with tension, and the darkness swallowed the entire room. It was small—barely enough space to move around.I sat on a long bench, waiting for the boss to arrive. I had heard he never showed up to meetings on time, but I prayed he would make an exception this time.“Alpha Logan.”I’d heard so much about him—deadly things. That alone was proof he was the right man for this job. But the most important reason? He hated Damien with a passion. That hatred was likely the only reason he agreed to honor my invitation.I couldn’t wait to see him—to finally lay eyes on the man I’d only heard whispers about. I had never met him before, and this was the perfect opportunity.I was ready to wait for hours, even the entire day, if that’s what it took.Still deep in thought, the door creaked open. I jumped to my feet, heart racing. Was it him? I realized I wasn’t expecting him so soon.My eyes fixed on the door, my chest tight with anticipa

• FANGS OF DECEIT (Bounded by Blood and Lies)   I Promise

  Chapter 53: I promiseDamien POV….I left her room, my mind spinning with thoughts—none more troubling than the sudden change in her demeanor. One minute, she was excited about the phone, and the next, she went cold.“I hate that I can’t read her thoughts anymore,” I muttered in frustration. “It’s another damn sign that I’m growing weaker.”Now that I’ve lost access to her mind, how do I really know how she feels about me? Was she starting to love me? I doubt it. There’s no sign—nothing at all—to suggest that.But I know what I must do. I’ll keep trying until she finally gives in. I won’t leave her with a choice. I’ll make her fall so hard she won’t be able to breathe without me. That’s a promise.A sly smile crept across my lips as the thoughts settled in my head. All I have to do is play my part, and everything will fall into place.I walked into my room and slammed the door shut behind me. Then I tossed myself on the bed and immediately pulled out my phone, typing into Google: “W

  Chapter 52: You bought?I sat on my bed, still drowning in shame. The last thing I ever expected was to be caught—by them—and in such an embarrassing way. The image of me falling flat like a fool replayed in my mind, and I wished the ground would just open up and swallow me whole. I really did.The AC was on, but it wasn’t doing a thing to cool me down. Of course—it never works when I’m anxious. I’ve accepted that as my curse. My mind kept racing. How were the men going to look at me now? The thought alone made my skin crawl. “Oh, you eavesdropper,” I imagined Damien sneering, and my heart nearly exploded from mortification.How am I even supposed to face them now? It’s going to be impossible. I’m sure they mocked me the moment I left. The way they looked at me… God! I should’ve just stayed in my room. But no, I had to let curiosity win, and now I’m paying the price.The worst part? I didn’t even hear anything. Not a single sound came from that room. It was like no one was in there. I

  Chapter 51: SillyI didn’t expect it, but as soon as the door swung open, someone tumbled into the room.The thud from the fall was heavy—like a log of wood crashing to the floor. I jumped back, startled, trying to process what had just happened right before my eyes.Regaining a bit of composure, I leaned forward for a closer look at whoever had been eavesdropping on our conversation.“Anna?” I gasped. “Oh no… Did she hear anything?”There was shame in her eyes as she slowly rose from the floor. I watched as she dusted off her gown out of sheer embarrassment. The room was spotless—no dirt on her dress—yet she kept brushing herself off, as if it would hide her awkwardness.“Uhm… I was passing by and…” she mumbled, scratching her hair with her left hand. Her face said it all—shy, embarrassed, and caught red-handed.I wanted to be angry at her for eavesdropping. More than that, I was nervous. What if she really heard everything?But I couldn’t stay mad. Her reaction was so adorably f

  Chapter 50: FINAL CHOICEAnna’s POV…I sat on my bed, my patience wearing thin. I couldn’t shake off the feeling that something was wrong. The way Damien had dragged Louis out of the room—there was just something off about it. Something I couldn’t quite place.I really wanted to see what was going on. I needed to know what was happening between the two brothers. I didn’t want to be left in the dark. I hate being left in the dark.And the worst part? I was almost certain something was wrong.I shot up from the bed in a rush. I wasn’t going to stay confined in here, replaying a thousand imaginary scenarios in my head, when I could just go and find out the truth myself. I needed to get to the root of it—and I needed to do it now.Slipping my tired legs into my squeaky bedroom slippers, I got ready to poke my nose into whatever drama was unfolding between the brothers. My steps were slow and calculated as I slid quietly out of the room.I didn’t want to alert anyone—not even the walls tha

• FANGS OF DECEIT (Bounded by Blood and Lies)   A REQUEST

  Chapter 49: A Request Damien POV…..I dragged Louis through the house, barely noticing the chaos I was causing—my anger was only getting worse. He struggled to free himself from my grip, but I wasn’t letting go. Not yet. Not until I was done.When we finally reached my room, I shoved him against the wall without a second thought.“What the hell are you doing?” he snapped, trying to fix his crumpled shirt. “Who gave you the right to manhandle me like that?”I said nothing.“Answer me!” he barked, his voice rising as he took a threatening step closer. “Why did you do it?”I stayed silent, letting him scream, letting him spill whatever fury he had. He wasn’t ready for what was coming.Frustrated by my silence, he suddenly raised his hand, aiming a blow at my face—but I caught his wrist mid-air, faster than he could register. His eyes widened, stunned by my speed and strength.I shoved his hand away. “It seems you’re forgetting something,” I said coldly, my anger bubbling to the surfac
