Jenn’s POV

Mornings arrived too early.

I stood at the window of our borrowed quarters, watching the first pale light creep over the mountains. Liam’s arms were wrapped around me from behind, his chin resting on my shoulder, his breath warm against my neck. Neither of us had slept well. The baby had been restless, and my mind had been even more so.

“He’ll be fine,” Liam murmured, as if reading my thoughts. “Tristan is stronger than he looks.”

“I know.” I pressed my hand against the glass. “I

  • Bound By Deception:The Alpha’s Betrayal    The Spy Is Her

    Jenn’s POV I left Morgan’s room with her plea still echoing in my ears. She’d sounded really distressed when she spoke about Tristan.But even then, I was worried myself. No one has heard anything or news about him since he left to see his mother. Plus there was nothing on the news about any dissolution of the treaty they had with the Mad Alpha. Liam was in Vicktor’s study when I found him, his laptop open in front of him, a map of the Mad Alpha’s territory spread across the desk. Vicktor sat across from him, a glass of amber liquid in his hand, his expression unreadable as always. They both looked up as I entered. Whatever was on my face made Liam straighten immediately, his blue eyes sharp with concern. “What’s wrong?” “Its about Morgan.” I crossed to him, letting his warmth steady me as I leaned against the edge of the desk. “She felt Tristan through their bond. He’s in distress. Something’s wrong.” Liam’s brow furrowed. “The bond is incomplete. She could be imagining –” “S

  • Bound By Deception:The Alpha’s Betrayal    The Baby Is On Its Way

    Jenn’s POV The silence that followed wasn’t uncomfortable – not anymore. Somewhere along the way, between the daily medications and the conversations I’d never meant to have, we’d found a strange kind of equilibrium. She was still the woman who’d destroyed my marriage and nearly killed me. I was still the woman she’d been sent to break. But we were also two people carrying the weight of choices we couldn’t undo, trying to figure out who we were supposed to be now that the dust had settled. “I talked to Simon,” I said finally, the words slipping out before I could stop them. My voice came out rough, scraped raw by a week of sleeplessness and the constant, gnawing fear that had taken up residence in my chest. “He’s been going through the communication logs from the Vale Pack. Cross-referencing them with the names Osiris gave us and the timelines of known information leaks.” Morgan turned from the window, her sharp eyes fixed on my face. She didn’t speak, didn’t interrupt. She j

  • Bound By Deception:The Alpha’s Betrayal    Give Me A Break

    Jenn’s POV A full week had passed since Simon handed me that folded piece of paper and watched my world shrink to four names. Seven days of pretending everything was normal while my mind ran in circles like a caged animal, gnawing at the same questions over and over until they bled into each other. What if it’s Alice? What if it’s not? What if I never know? What if I find out and wish I hadn’t? I slept in fragments now – an hour here, thirty minutes there – snatched between the baby’s restless movements and my own racing thoughts. Liam had stopped trying to coax me into proper rest somewhere around the fourth night, when I snapped at him for hovering and then immediately burst into tears because I didn’t mean it. I was just so tired, so scared, so full of everything I couldn’t say out loud. He’d held me through the crying jag without a word. Just wrapped his arms around my shaking shoulders and let me soak his shirt with tears I’d been holding back for weeks. When I finally quie

  • Bound By Deception:The Alpha’s Betrayal    The Angel I Don’t Know

    Jenn’s POV He was a contradiction. A mess of good intentions and terrible choices. And I had no idea if he was capable of betraying me again. Wade’s eyes narrowed as he studied my face. He’d always been able to read me – sometimes better than I could read myself. It was one of the things that had made our marriage work for as long as it did. And now, watching him piece together my silence and my stiff posture and the distance I’d put between us, I saw the exact moment understanding dawned. “You’re wondering if it’s me.” His voice came out flat, stripped of its earlier warmth. “I’m the spy. You’re standing there trying to figure out if I’m the one who’s been feeding information to the Mad Alpha.” I couldn’t deny it. What was the point? He’d already seen through me. “You were the closest person to me for five years.” My voice matched his – flat and detached, like I was reciting facts from a report instead of talking to the man I’d once promised to love forever. “If anyone had secre

  • Bound By Deception:The Alpha’s Betrayal    The Devil You Know

    Jenn’s POV A week after Osiris told us there might be a spy in my pack, among my own close friends, I found myself sitting with Morgan. The last person I ever thought I’d go to or talk to about things like this. But for some reason, talking to her felt oddly relaxing. She didn’t interrupt. She didn’t offer empty reassurance or tell me I was being paranoid. She just listened, her sharp eyes fixed on my face, her expression unreadable. And somehow, that was exactly what I needed. Besides, if anyone should know who the spy among my group of friends was, it had to be her. She’d spent months embedded in my life, watching my every move, reporting back to her father. If there was another operative close to me, someone who’d been feeding him information since before I reclaimed my pack, she would know. Still, try as I might, I couldn’t bring myself to ask her that question. Because asking meant acknowledging that it might be true. That one of the people I loved most in this world had be

  • Bound By Deception:The Alpha’s Betrayal    The Spy In My House III

    Jenn’s POV I didn’t sleep that night. Liam had given up trying to coax me into rest somewhere around the third hour of my restless shifting. He lay beside me now with one arm thrown over his eyes and his breathing slow and even, though I could tell from the tension in his shoulders that he wasn’t actually asleep. He was just giving me space to wrestle with my demons in peace. I loved him for that. I loved him for a lot of things. But love didn’t stop the Beta’s words from spinning through my head like a broken record. Hesitant. Someone with something to lose. A secret they wished would never come out. I pressed my palm against my stomach and felt the flutter of movement and leaned into it. Hoping my baby could give me some kind of strength I was lacking. Something – anything – to help me move past this phase. The baby kicked in response, sharp and insistent, and I took it as guidance. The next morning, I found Alva in the kitchen. She was perched on a stool near the window wit

  • Bound By Deception:The Alpha’s Betrayal    A Threat On His Life

    Jenn’s POV My lips parted in surprise. I hadn’t seen Simon make his choice. I’d just assumed he would stay with Wade. “You’re not serious,” Wade growled, the weight of the day finally breaking through his composure. “I am.” Simon released Elayne’s wrist. “I’m sorry, Wade. But you lost your way.

  • Bound By Deception:The Alpha’s Betrayal    Going Our Separate Ways

    Jenn’s POV Things were going more or less the way I expected it to go. At that moment, my crowd was much bigger than Wade’s, but that was a given since we were standing on land that had belonged to my father long before the merger. Not everyone was present here, and I knew this was only the begin

    Jenn’s POV The training grounds filled quickly. Word spread through the pack like wildfire – the Luna was back, the Alpha was calling a gathering, something big was happening.

    Jenn’s POV I waited for them in the conference room, my arms folded across my chest, Alva and the two soldiers the Alpha King had assigned flanked me. It didn’t take long for Wade to appear. Morgan was right behind him, of course, her hand pressed to her stomach in that way she’d perfected. The w
