Author's POV

Madame’s fingernails dug into the armrest of her throne-like chair, sharp enough to shred the velvet lining beneath her palm. The scent of incense wafted across the candlelit room, but it did little to mask the stifling fury radiating from her.

“She got captured,” Madame hissed, her voice laced with venom. Her lips barely moved, her expression carved from stone. “After all my warnings… that foolish woman went ahead with the attack. Without my word.”

Across from her, her personal assistant—Paxton, a lean man with wiry limbs and hollow cheeks—stood rigid. The tremor in his hands betrayed the calm mask he desperately wore. He’d never seen Madame this angry, not even when Zev betrayed the inner circle years ago.

Paxton cleared his throat lightly, wary of her mood. “It appears… both hospital strikes were immediate failures. The secondary team was wiped out within the first five minutes of engagement. Widow’s team encountered resistance. Heavy resistance.”

  • BLOODBOUND: The Wolf, The King and The Killer   156

    Killan's POV I woke up before the sun, the way I always do when something heavy is sitting on my chest. Nikolai was still asleep, one arm flung over my waist, his breath warm against my shoulder. Declan was on my other side, curled into a tight ball like he was trying to take up as little space as possible. He’d cried himself out sometime around three, and now his face was puffy, hair sticking up everywhere. He looked younger like this. Fragile. I hated seeing him like that.I eased out of bed without waking either of them, pulled on jeans and a hoodie, and slipped out of the room. The house was quiet. Too quiet. I could feel Rhett’s absence like a missing tooth. His door was closed when I passed it, but I didn’t stop. He’d asked for space. I was going to give it to him, even if it killed me.The garden was cold. The grass was still wet from last night’s rain, and the air smelled like wet leaves and woodsmoke. I carried two mugs of tea out to the old iron table under the oak tree, th

    Declan's POV I stood in the hallway outside Rhett’s door longer than I should have. My hand was still raised like I might knock again, but I didn’t. He’d told me to get out. Not in those exact words, but the way he said my name, low and tired and final, was worse than yelling. I’d never heard him sound like that before. Like I was someone he didn’t even want to look at anymore.My chest felt tight, like someone had wrapped a belt around my ribs and kept pulling. I couldn’t breathe right. I couldn’t think. All I could do was replay the last ten minutes in my head. The way his face went blank when I tried to explain. The way he turned his back to me. The way he said, “Just go, Dec.”So I went.I don’t even remember walking. One second I was in front of his door, the next I was standing outside Nikolai’s, staring at the dark wood like it might bite me. My fist hovered. I almost turned around. Almost went back to my room and locked the door and didn’t come out for a week. But I had the g

    Rhett's POV I returned to the pack house after what felt like the longest day I had lived in years. The investors had dragged every minute out of me, asking for explanations about events they barely understood, demanding answers I did not owe them, and trying to test my standing after my absence. Walking across the front steps and through the familiar doors should have comforted me, yet all I felt was exhaustion clinging to my skin like a second shirt.The moment I stepped inside, one of the council members hurried over. He bowed his head in a way that told me he had been waiting for me for a long while already.“Alpha Rhett, the council requests your attention,” he said.I exhaled slowly, feeling the pressure push against my ribs. “Tell them I need a few minutes to freshen up. I will meet them soon.”“Yes, Alpha,” he said before stepping back.I started toward the stairs with the intention of walking straight to my room. I want

    Colt's POV I woke up that morning feeling lighter than I had in days. Everything inside the packhouse had been tense for so long that the quiet felt almost strange, like the world had suddenly decided to breathe again. I got ready without rushing myself. I brushed my hair, changed into clean jeans and a simple shirt, and stood for a moment in front of the mirror trying to convince myself that today would actually be normal. I doubted it, but I was willing to pretend.I had barely finished adjusting my shirt when someone knocked on my door. The knock was gentle at first and then impatient, which made me smile because only one person knocked like that. I opened the door and Declan stood there with a small smile that looked like it was trying very hard to stay calm. I could tell he was nervous even before he spoke.Rhett told me I could convince you to take a break with me today he said.That was a lie and I knew it instantly. Rhett barely had the e

    Killian's POV I started the morning already feeling the weight of too many things at once. The company reports were all over the desk and Rhett had already pulled out the files he wanted to start with. The office lights were warm even though the day was still young and the quiet inside the room made it feel like everything outside had slowed down for a moment. I took my seat beside him and tried to calm my mind because I knew the day would be a long one. When Rhett was focused like this he barely spoke except when he needed something. I respected that so I tried to match his pace without distracting him.We had been going through numbers for almost an hour before he spoke. He did not look at me at first. He just asked for another one of the financial reports and I handed it to him. I could tell he was thinking about something else though because there was a heaviness in the way he sighed. I kept sorting through my own pile and decided to give him space until he came around. He always

    Nikolai's POV I woke up to something soft pressing against my lips. At first I thought it was part of my dream and tried to move away, but the soft pressure followed me and turned slightly, almost like it was claiming more space. I blinked my eyes open and nearly jumped out of my skin when I saw Killian hovering over me with that irritatingly innocent expression he uses whenever he is doing something completely not innocent.He pulled back slowly, looking far too pleased with himself. His hair was already styled. His shirt was tucked in neatly. His boots were polished. He looked like he had been awake for hours.I grabbed the blanket and covered half my face.I said, “You are cheating. This is cheating. You did not even try to wake me up properly the moment you opened your eyes. You did not shake me. You did not call my name. You did not nudge me. You just kissed me awake so you can brag that you dressed up first.”Killian burst into laughter so loud that I thought the walls would sh
