Alanza’s POV

"You don't need to check in every hour, Luciano," I said into the phone, my thumb hovering over the end-call button.

He sighed on the other end, a sound full of that protective weight he always carried. I didn't wait for his rebuttal before hanging up. Following Lucia’s advice, I had switched to texting him yesterday. It was easier to ask for space through a screen than to hear the hurt in his voice, even if that hurt was wrapped in layers of Alpha autho

  • Bonded to the Bastard: My Rejection, His Obsession   Chapter 107

    Luciano’s POV"Tell me exactly what you mean by unconscious," I snapped into the phone.The interior of the SUV felt like a cage. I could see Lindsie’s eyes darting toward the rearview mirror, catching the jagged edge of my temper. On the other end of the line, Karlos’s breathing sounded heavy, layered with the static of a bad connection."Her heart rate is steady and her breathing is fine, but she won't wake up," Karlos said. "The specialists are hovering, but they can't find a single physical scratch or a chemical reason for it.""Then explain to me why she is hooked up to a hospital bed," I growled. My skin felt too tight for my body, my pulse a rhythmic hammer against my ribs. My wolf was a caged heat beneath my lungs, pacing and snarling at the thought of our mate in a sterile room. "What did London do to her?""This isn't on him, Luciano. She wasn't near him. She just dropped at the house right after she finished training."

    Alanza’s POV"Just keep your head down and try not to trip over the threshold," Lucia muttered, her voice thick with exhaustion.I didn't have the energy to reply. My legs felt like lead weights as I dragged them through the front door. The second I cleared the frame, I didn't even look for a blanket. I just collapsed face-first onto the sofa. The fabric was scratchy against my cheek, but it was the most beautiful thing I had ever felt.Next to me, Lucia didn't even make it to the couch. She steered herself toward the recliner and sank into it. She pulled her knees up to her chest, curling into a tight ball. "I am staying in this exact spot until tomorrow," she groaned into her knees. "Don't move me. Don't talk to me. Just let the floor swallow me whole.""I’m right there with you," I mumbled, my voice muffled by the cushion. I rolled onto my back, stretching my limbs out until my joints popped.Karlos was already in the kitchen. I coul

    Alanza’s POV"Why are you stopping?"London appears out of thin air when I am only halfway around the track. He is the only person I have ever met who I genuinely want to punch and hug at the exact same time. It is a complicated feeling. My family is a mess of toxic love and sharp edges, so I am used to conflicting emotions, but this man is on another level."I am... moving," I grunt.I force my body into another lunge. My legs stretch out, but my arms are the real problem. They are not just shaking. They feel like warm cake batter. I can barely keep the weights at my sides, let alone lift them. Every muscle fiber is screaming at me to just lay down in the dirt and stay there. I refuse to give him the satisfaction of seeing me collapse."Back straight," London orders.He circles me like a predator looking for a weak spot in a fence."Tighten your core. You are wobbling like a newborn pup."I adjust my hips and try to find

    Alanza’s POV"Why are you staring at the dirt when you should be moving?"London’s voice cut through the humid air of the training grounds. I didn't look up. I just focused on the rhythmic thud of my sneakers against the packed earth. If I stopped, the thoughts would catch up to me. If I stopped, I’d have to think about Luciano, or Leyton, or the absolute mess my life had become.Physical pain was a much better distraction. I pushed my legs harder, welcoming the burn in my quads. My body was a map of fading purple and yellow marks. Every day, new bruises formed from the intensity of the drills, and every night, my shifted metabolism knit my skin back together. Beside me, Lucia wasn't as lucky. Her bruises stayed longer, blooming across her pale skin in various stages of healing.I was determined to stay in this bubble of exhaustion for as long as possible. It was safer than dealing with reality. Maybe it wasn't the healthiest way to cope, but surviving th

    Luciano’s POV"You aren't going to make this easy, are you?"I mutter the words under my breath, watching the white-and-gray blur of the husky weave through the dense thicket of the Crystal Lake border. Sombra doesn't even glance back. She has been leading this silent charge since we crossed the pack lines, her nose glued to the earth and her tail set in a rigid, determined line. Every time I try to nudge her toward the Alpha’s estate, she darting around my wolf with a grace that borders on insulting.My wolf is no help. He is currently a puddle of pathetic whimpers inside my skull, pacing circles and pining for a creature that isn't even our species.She won’t talk to us, he moans, the sound vibrating through my ribs. She’s ignoring us. It’s your fault. Everything is your fault because you pushed our mate away."She's a dog," I growl internally, though the argument feels thin even to me. "Dogs don't have telepathic li

  • Bonded to the Bastard: My Rejection, His Obsession   Chapter 102

    Luciano’s POV"She is actually going to his house," I snapped, the words tasting like acid.I paced the length of my rug, my boots digging into the expensive fibers. The walls of my office felt like they were shrinking, pressing against my chest until I could hardly breathe. Alanza wouldn't pick up my calls. She wouldn't even text me a one-word reply to let me know she was breathing. But she had no problem making time for Leyton.The thought of them together, talking in low voices while the moon climbed higher, made my blood boil.You did this, my wolf rumbled. His voice was a heavy weight in the back of my mind, cold and dripping with a judgment that made my skin itch. This is your fault."I know," I hissed, stopping in front of the window to stare at the dark treeline. "I’m trying to fix it. I’m doing every single thing I can."You threw her away, he reminded me, his tone sharp enough to draw blood. We had her. We had our
