Jenn’s POV

“Alpha… King,” I breathed, my heart rate spiking immediately. My eyes widened as they touched him, registering the amusement that flickered there. What was he doing here? Could he have followed me –

No, the thought was absurd. He would never do something like that. The Alpha King was a busy man. Why would he be stalking a woman like me? Still, the thought of him doing that didn’t make me as uncomfortable as I thought I would be.

“Liam,” he smirked, his brows lifting slightly as a

  • Bound By Deception:The Alpha’s Betrayal    Draw Them Out

    Jenn’s POV Liam’s hand caught my arm. His grip was gentle but his eyes were blazing. “No.” he ran a hand through his hair. “Why do you always feel the need to sacrifice yourself for us? You have nothing to prove, Jenn. There’s no need to prove anything to us!” The anger that seeped out of him provoked something inside me, but I pushed it down along with my Alpha aura which was fighting to burst out of me. “It’s the only way – ” “I said no.” He pulled me aside, away from the others, his voice dropping to a fierce whisper. “You’re not offering yourself up as bait. Not now. Not when you’re carrying our child. Not when I too promised not to do anything careless.” I reached up and cupped his face in both hands. His jaw was tight under my palms, the muscle jumping. Through the mate bond, I could feel the full weight of his fear – the fear of losing me. The same fear that had nearly swallowed him when the Mad Alpha’s venom had almost taken me from him. The same fear I had felt when I tho

  • Bound By Deception:The Alpha’s Betrayal    I Know Where To Find You

    Jenn’s POV The place Osiris was talking about was a mountain known as The Spire. I’d always thought it was a myth or no longer in existence because the place was mostly written about in books, especially the ones my mother shared with me sometimes. In the ancient times, it had been home to the druids who were once part of the realm, but according to the stories, they’d been wiped out during the Great war that led to separation of the realm. If that place still existed and Selene who had a compulsion power lived there, there was only one conclusion to come to. I sighed, rubbing my temple. I hoped I was wrong about it. “The Mad Alpha is still our target.” I turned to face them all.The dark wolf was at the surface now, pressing against my skin. “He took my parents. He – through Selene – violated my sister. He’s been hunting me since before I knew my own name.” I looked up at Liam, and felt his quiet support. “I’m done running. I’m done waiting for him to come to me. We’ll find Sel

  • Bound By Deception:The Alpha’s Betrayal    The Whole Picture

    Jenn’s POV I nodded slowly. “She wore a ring,” Alice continued, her voice growing quieter. “Silver, with a dark stone. Obsidian, maybe. She’d twist it on her finger whenever she was about to use her ability. It was like a tell. A habit she couldn’t control.” “Is there anything else you remember? Anything at all?” Alice was silent for a long moment. “Her voice. There was an accent I couldn’t place. She hid it most of the time, but when she was angry or impatient, it would slip through. And there was something else – she knew about the heirloom. Not what it was, exactly, but that it existed. She asked about it more than once. She wanted to know if you’d found it yet, if you’d told me anything about where your parents might have hidden it.” I filed the details away without responding. Alice finally looked up at me, her eyes red and swollen. “I’m sorry, Jenn. I know that doesn’t fix anything. I know it doesn’t change what I did. But I never wanted to hurt you. I only wanted to prote

  • Bound By Deception:The Alpha’s Betrayal    Processing The Truth

    Jenn’s POV I didn’t sleep. The bed was soft and the room was quiet and Liam’s arm was warm around my waist, but every time I closed my eyes, I saw Alice’s face through that glass – her dark eyes wide and terrified, her hands pressed against the cold surface, her voice cracking on my name. “Jenn, please. I’m your sister.” I must have drifted off at some point, because I woke to pale morning light filtering through the curtains and Liam’s side of the bed was already empty. He’d left a note on the pillow beside me, written in his sharp, precise handwriting. “Gone to coordinate with Luke. Alva will take you to Alice when you’re ready. Come find me after. – love, L” I traced the letters with my thumb, letting his steady presence ground me even in his absence. Then I pushed myself up, ignoring the ache in my back and the protest from every muscle in my exhausted body. I’d told Alice I would come back. I wasn’t going to make her wait any longer than necessary. Alva was already outs

  • Bound By Deception:The Alpha’s Betrayal    The Root Of All Evils

    Jenn’s POV Mark started clicking away at his keyboard and spoke without bothering to look away from the screen. I didn’t know much about the man, but one thing was certain: he was deeply invested in this case. And I had no idea why. “Clearly, we need to figure out what they were holding over her,” he said, still keeping his eyes on the screen. I glanced up as he spoke, my brows scrunching up. “…and not just because the fucking operative needs to die for involving your sister in it. Alice was a huge asset to your pack, both personally and strategically, but there’s a lot of other people living inside these walls. If the mad Alpha has leverage over Alice, he could have leverage over others.” He turned to Luke. “Did you know that Vicktor’s head of security has a sister in the Eastern territories? If Selene gets to her, then we’re fucked. Not to mention the Vale Pack elders and their families. Oh, and then, I don’t know, your entire inner circle. If someone got the jump on you thro

  • Bound By Deception:The Alpha’s Betrayal    Family

    Jenn’s POV Liam caught my face in his hands and tilted my head back until he was staring into my eyes. Whatever he saw there – the exhaustion, the grief, the thousand tiny fractures I was barely holding together – made his mouth harden even more. He leaned forward just a little, his body shielding us both from everyone else’s view as he murmured to me quietly, “Go home and get some rest. I’ll take care of this. Stay with Alva and just leave it to me to handle.” “Jenn?” Alice’s voice came from behind me, trembling a little. Even though it hurt me, I finally turned to look at her through the glass of the holding cell. She was standing now, her hands pressed against the cold surface, her dark eyes wide and terrified. She looked broken. The words tumbled out of me as I pressed my own palm against the glass, mirroring hers. “I’ll be back, Alice. Just… just tell them everything. Whatever they’re holding over you, whatever Selene has on you, we’ll figure it out. We’ll figure it out toge

  • Bound By Deception:The Alpha’s Betrayal    A Grave Error

    Wade’s POV Was it possible that she was a fox? I’d never asked her to shift. Mostly because I knew her background and though I hate so much to admit it, I’d been ashamed of the single fact that her father was the mad Alpha. But now… That thought scared me. Because if it was true, then I’d lost Je

    Wade’s POV Morgan was nowhere to be found and Jenn was livid! I stared at her in astonishment. Was she even serious right now? “I am going to repeat my question, Jenn,” I growled, “What have you done to my mate?!” “What have I done to your mate?” She shot her brow up at me, “Your so-called mate

    Jenn’s POV “Oh, is that what this is about?” I raised an eyebrow, letting my lips curve slightly. “And here I thought the mad Alpha wanted me alive.
