BOUND TO THE ALPHA KING Chapter 53
CHAPTER 53KATHERINEThe car slowed as we approached the academy, and my eyes were already scanning the grounds. I looked for Alex without making it obvious, checking the walkway, the entrance, the side road where students sometimes cut through. I didn’t see him, and that didn’t relax me the way it should have.I stepped out and adjusted my bag, keeping my posture easy, my face neutral. I’d been careful in the palace, quiet, subdued, letting them think the backlash had broken me. Stephen needed to believe that. Everyone did. If they thought I was done planning, they’d stop watching so closely.The truth was, I’d done more thinking in the last day than I had in weeks.The rebels weren’t the way forward.I’d wanted them to be, because they were loud and angry and visible, and it felt good to imagine Stephen losing everything the same way I had. But even if they succeeded one day, it wouldn’t be because of me. I’d just be another name on the list of people they used and discarded, and th

STEPHENI sat alone in my office long after she left.The room was quiet, but my head wasn’t. I kept replaying her face when I scolded her, the way her jaw tightened, the way she tried not to react, and it had affected my wolf more than I wanted to admit. He didn’t like it. He didn’t like the distance, didn’t like the disappointment, didn’t like that I had pushed her away when she was standing right in front of me.But it had to be done.She crossed a line. She ignored orders, exposed herself, exposed the throne, and I couldn’t forgive that easily, not when the kingdom was watching, not when weakness invited chaos.I leaned back in my chair and rubbed my face, my jaw tight.A knock came, firm and familiar.“Come in,” I said.Alaric entered with a tablet in his hand, his expression serious, calculated, controlled like always.“We have reports from the south,” he said, stepping closer. “Confirmed casualties.”He placed the tablet on my desk and turned it toward me.I read the numbers on

KATHERINEThe door opened without a knock.I didn’t need to look up to know it was Stephen. I felt him the moment he walked in, the air shifting, my wolf reacting, my heart picking up speed even before he said a word.He shut the door behind him and stood there, arms crossed, jaw tight, eyes cold.“Where were you,” he asked.I swallowed and lifted my chin. “You already know.”His eyes darkened. He took a step forward. “Don’t play with me, Katherine.”My heart started racing harder. He wasn’t shouting, and that scared me more than if he was. His voice was calm, controlled, the kind that meant he was already angry and deciding how far he was willing to go.“What were you doing there,” he asked.I shrugged lightly, pretending I wasn’t nervous. “Looking.”His hand was around my neck before I could react.Not tight, not choking, but firm enough that I froze instantly. His thumb pressed under my jaw, forcing my head up so I had no choice but to look at him.“Enough,” he said quietly, and th

KATHERINEI drove my car and parked a little far from the place. I didn’t want anyone to see me. My heart was beating really fast. Like, really really fast. I was so scared but I had to do this. I looked through the windshield. The delivery bus was already gone. I groaned. “Ugh, why now?” I muttered. I hated being late.I got out anyway. My feet made soft noises on the ground. Everything was quiet. The streets were empty. No one was around. I kept walking slowly, looking at the shops and stalls. I felt like someone was watching me. I pulled my hood over my head more. I didn’t want anyone to see me.Then I bumped into someone. I almost fell. “Ah!” I squeaked. I looked up. It was Rowan. “Rowan!” I whispered. “Where were you? I thought I was gonna die or something!”He didn’t answer. He just pointed ahead. “Look. Two men. Loading boxes. Into a van. But it’s not registered.”I squinted. Oh yeah. I could see them. Two men, sweating, lifting boxes. Big boxes. Heavy ones. They looked scare

STEPHENI was standing in the big private room with Lord Payne and some of the elders, talking about boring stuff like duties and responsibilities. Lord Payne was trying really hard to sound important, making jokes about how hard it would be to manage all the other high lords. I forced a smile, but honestly, my mind wasn’t even on the conversation. My thoughts kept drifting to Katherine.Then, we got to talking about my mate, the Lady of my house, which obviously meant Katherine. Everyone started laughing, joking about how hard it would be to control their mates. Some elders whispered things under their breath, smirking. I didn’t laugh. I didn’t even smile. My chest felt tight, like someone was squeezing it.And then, out of nowhere, one of my guards barged in. Not properly, just like, leaning in and whispering. “Um, Lord Stephen… there’s something online. A video.”I frowned. “A video? About what?” I asked, trying to keep calm.He hesitated, whispering even quieter. “It’s… about… Kat

KATHERINEMy heart was pounding so hard I thought it would explode. I could hear it in my ears, like thump-thump-thump, and I kept taking deep breaths, but it wasn’t helping. Rowan was standing there, fist raised, ready to hit Alex. I froze for a second. My brain didn’t work. I didn’t know what to do.“No! Stop!” I yelled. My voice was loud and shaky.Rowan froze mid-motion. His eyes flicked to me, confused. His fists were clenched so tight his knuckles were white. “Katherine…?” he started, his voice low, warning-like.“I said stop!” I shouted again, my chest heaving. “You’re not hitting him. I’ll handle it. Go get the car ready, now!”Rowan frowned. His jaw tightened. I could see the anger in his eyes, but also the hesitation. Finally, after a long pause, he muttered, “Be careful.”I nodded quickly and turned to Alex. He was sitting there, looking terrified, hair messy, eyes wide. He was muttering nonsense, words I couldn’t even understand. It was frustrating. “Come on,” I whispered,
