BOUND TO THE ALPHA KING Chapter 34
KATHERINEStephen walked ahead while I followed him toward the area the guards had blocked off and I didn’t say anything because I didn’t want him to think I was concerned for him, I only needed information and I wanted to know if anything here could help me bring him down or damage his name and that was the only reason I stayed close. The courtyard smelled of smoke and the air felt unsettled and the Citadel guards were already rounding up the smugglers who had been hiding in the abandoned building at the edge of the palace grounds and more guards kept moving in until the whole place looked like a full operation.Stephen gave out orders in a calm voice and told the guards to keep everyone indoors and he moved with that cold focus he always had during tense work and I stood a little behind him while he questioned one of the smugglers. When he stepped away to check another area I took my chance and slipped past two guards who were dragging a group of smugglers toward the transport vehi

KATHERINE’S POVThe man froze the moment he saw Stephen and it irritated me that I found that look on Stephen attractive, he didn’t move or blink and it made everywhere uncomfortable while Stephen stepped closer and asked him what the stacks were for but even when Stephen told me to leave, I stayed because I wanted to hear everything.The man swallowed hard and said the goods were for rebels in the Southern Highlands and he added that Lord Shekel was one of their suppliers. Stephen’s jaw tightened and I could see how angry he was, his eyes were sharp and cold and his voice dropped lower as he questioned the man again. I had never seen him like that and it made my chest feel tight, not from fear of him hurting me but fear of what he might do to the man if he lost control.I didn’t know anything about rebels and it confused me so I stood quietly and watched Stephen and Alaric speak. They didn’t raise their voices but I could hear enough, they said the rebels must have a chain of supplie

KATHERINEJessie and her mother stayed close together while they talked about the high lord heirs they wanted Jessie to meet at Lord Shekel’s ball and they both looked excited as we all moved toward the vehicles and the guards spread out around us and the staff kept opening doors and bowing as if the whole morning was planned around Jessie’s introduction into that world and I stayed a little behind them because the more they talked about heirs and alliances the more obvious it was that I didn’t fit into their conversations.Stephen came out of the manor before they entered the cars and he stopped in front of me and said he was going to the ball as well and that I should come with him and I didn’t bother arguing because we both knew he would drag me there anyway and he looked too calm for me to waste energy fighting him on something small like a ride.The drive to Lord Shekel’s estate wasn’t long but it felt slow because Jessie’s mother kept fixing her daughter’s hair and Jessie kept a

STEPHEN POVThe meeting room was quiet when I walked in and the air felt tense because Elder Cassian was already seated with the military elder beside him and Alaric stood near the window, and they all looked ready to begin. I sat at the head of the table and waited for the guards to close the doors, and the sound faded quickly which made the silence heavier. Cassian cleared his throat and opened the meeting with reports from different regions, and I listened until he reached the Highlands because that was the only one with real trouble right now.The rebels had moved again, shifting deeper into the mountain routes, and Cassian said they were taking advantage of the weather and the scattered villages around that area. The military elder opened a map on the table and pushed it toward me, and he used markers to show their last known positions. I studied it for a moment, and it was clear that they were getting bold again which meant they were getting comfortable.“We weaken them by cutt

KATHERINE’S POVOne of them, Elder Mara, spoke finally“We cannot delay this any longer. The alliance requires a public oath, and the people want a clear sign of unity.”Stephen didn’t move. “No,” he said calmly, “not yet.”Another elder raised his voice. “You cannot keep postponing this. It weakens your rule and creates questions we cannot answer.”Stephen stayed calm, and that annoyed them even more. “The kingdom is not stable,” he said, “and I will not perform any public ritual until it is. You all know the borders are still unsettled and the packs near the south are restless.”“That is exactly why you must do it now,” Elder Mara said, “show them strength.”Stephen shifted his stance but didn’t raise his voice. “Strength is not shown through rushed ceremonies. If you want unity, then let me finish securing the kingdom. After that, we will discuss it again, not before.”I could feel the heat rising between them even though none of them shouted.Another elder sighed loudly. “You are m

KATHERINE’S POVI waited until evening to leave my room, moving quietly and counting every step, every turn, every patrol I took. The guards were predictable, their routines memorized, and I slipped past without being noticed. At the courtyard, a black car waited, the driver already inside. I slid in and closed the door, the engine started, and we moved through the gates unnoticed. My stomach twisted, but I kept my face calm, hands folded on my lap and head down.The estate was larger than I expected, multiple garages and buildings stretching across the property, lights illuminating rows of vehicles. Security guards froze when they saw me, their surprise obvious, but I ignored them. The old manager appeared, thin and hesitant, eyes flicking between me and the door. I forced a polite smile.“I want to buy a car,” I said, keeping my tone casual.He blinked, clearly nervous, and gestured for me to follow him. He explained the models, the engines, the features, and I nodded, asking quest
