CHAPTER 52: THE BATTLE LINE IS DRAWN

ELENA:

The darkness in this dungeon wasn’t just the absence of light; it was a physical weight. Three days. Three days of rot, silence, and the agonizing throb of hunger in my belly. My skin felt like it was crawling with every insect that skittered across the cold stone floor, and my throat was so dry I could barely swallow. I hadn't bathed, I hadn't eaten, and I hadn't seen a single ray of the sunshine.

I was being punished for being a hero.

Adrian didn’t

  • BOUND TO THE ENEMY ALPHA    TRICKING ELENA'S FATHER

    CHAPTER 74: TRICKING ELENA'S FATHER ADRIAN:I sat in the dim light of my study, Elena's new phone resting on my desk like a live grenade. The screen glowed, casting long, sharp shadows across my hands. When I first took the red dress from Elena's room some weeks ago, I kept it locked away in a secret room, with the intention that later, I will use it as evidence against Darius for breaching our peace alliance. But he could actually deny any wrongdoing, claiming he was only trying to keep in touch with his daughter. But this time, I wanted to do things differently.Darius thought he was the puppet master. He thought he could plant his daughter here, manipulate her, and tear my pack apart from the inside out. He thought he was playing chess with a novice.He had no idea he was playing with a ghost.I pulled out my laptop and began the work. I’d spent the last few hours recording every word out of Elena’s mouth—every laugh, every gasp, every sentence spoken in anger or exhaustion. I fed

  • BOUND TO THE ENEMY ALPHA    I HAVE MY PLANS

    CHAPTER 73: I HAVE MY PLANS ELENA:“Things will be different between us, if you stay faithful and loyal.”Those were Adrian's last words before he stood up and left the master suite. I stared at the ring in my finger, the weight of it feeling like a crown. It wasn't just gold and stone; it was a stake in the ground. Adrian had chosen to start over, and for the first time since I’d been dragged into this nightmare, the suffocating fog in my mind began to lift. I wasn't just a prisoner or a pawn; I was the Alpha's mate, and I was going to wear that title with everything I had.I didn't wait. As soon as the door clicked shut behind Adrian, I stood up and smoothed my dress. I had an appointment with fate. I headed straight for Alpha Silas’s chambers, my boots echoing with purpose through the grand hallway.I knocked once, hearing his steady voice invite me in. Silas was exactly where he always was—reclining on his sofa, his nose buried in a newspaper that seemed to be his only companion.

  • BOUND TO THE ENEMY ALPHA    A NEW START

    CHAPTER 72: A NEW START ELENA:My heart gave a violent lurch, skipping a beat as the accusation hung in the air. The look of pure, unadulterated fury on Adrian’s face was enough to make a weaker woman faint. But my survival instinct kicked in. Before he could move away with the device, I moved with a speed born of pure desperation, my hand lashing out and snatching the phone from his grip.I glanced down at the screen. My eyes scanned the text message, my pulse thrumming in my ears like a war drum. “I haven't heard from you in days. Hope you're okay. If you're reading this message, that means the phone has been delivered to you. Get in touch as soon as you can. Dad.”I heaved a sigh of relief, the tension in my chest loosening just a fraction, though I knew I wasn't out of the woods yet. I looked up at Adrian, his towering frame casting a shadow that seemed to swallow the room."Where in this text does it indicate that I’ve been spying on you?" I challenged, my voice sharper than I i

  • BOUND TO THE ENEMY ALPHA    YOU'VE BEEN SPYING ON ME

    CHAPTER 71: YOU'VE BEEN SPYING ON MEELENA:I spun around, and my soul nearly left my body. My breath hitched, catching in my throat like a jagged piece of glass. Adrian was standing there, inches behind me, his shadow looming over me like a shroud. I thought he left. How was he here now, lurking like a shadow?His eyes were darker than I had ever seen them, looking like bottomless pits of obsidian. He didn't rush, he didn't shout; he just stood there, vibrating with a cold, terrifying stillness."Will you tell me what the hell is going on?" he asked, his voice dropping so low I barely heard him. "Or do you want me to find out myself and punish you for it?"My heart was doing a frantic, uneven rhythm against my ribs, like a trapped bird desperate to escape. Instantly, my mind became a battlefield. Should I continue to lie to him? Pretending nothing had happened? But then, I remembered our conversation last night in his study. Adrian had told me about Marcus's betrayal and how he had

  • BOUND TO THE ENEMY ALPHA    A VISIT FROM THE THORNE PACK

    CHAPTER 70: A VISIT FROM THE THORNE PACK ELENA:The figure standing in the doorway wasn't what I was expecting; it was an unexpected visit from the Thorne Pack."Kamala?" I screamed, my voice rising.Kamala was my childhood best friend, the daughter of the Thorne Pack Beta, the girl who had braided my hair at summer festivals and helped me handle my chores. She was standing there in the flesh, looking like a woman on a mission. I didn't waste a minute as I lunged forward, grabbing her by the arm and yanking her into the room before slamming the door shut."Kamala? What are you doing here?" I whispered, my voice frantic, my eyes darting to the door. "How did you even get past the guards? How did you get onto Adrian's floor? Do you have any idea how dangerous this is?"Kamala crossed her lip with her index finger, trying to shush me. Her expression was calm despite the sheer madness of her breaking into an Alpha’s private sanctuary. "Slow down, Elena! You’re going to give yourself an a

  • BOUND TO THE ENEMY ALPHA    THE RESTLESS NIGHT

    CHAPTER 69: THE RESTLESS NIGHT ELENA:I sat in that chair, staring at the polished wood of Adrian’s desk, feeling like the air had been sucked out of the room. My head was spinning. Everything I’d ever stood for, every memory I held onto, was rotting right in front of me. Marcus, my "sweet" Marcus, had been a traitor, a spy, and a murderer. And my own father? He’d orchestrated the death of the woman who had meant so much to Adrian, the woman whose death had set off this entire cycle of hate.No wonder Adrian was determined to wipe out the entire Thorne Pack, no wonder he looked at me like I was a disease. I was the daughter of the man who’d masterminded the killing of his mother, and the love of my life was the man who’d facilitated the process.The irony was a bitter pill to swallow: I was just as much a victim of this web of deceit and cruelty as Adrian was."I… I need to rest," I managed to choke out, my voice sounding small and foreign. I didn't wait for him to respond. I just st
