Althea’s p.o.v

The next morning, I woke to voices outside the door. It was low at first. Almost too quiet to penetrate the fog of sleep still clinging to my consciousness. But as my brain dragged itself toward wakefulness and the words became clearer.

"You can't be serious about this. Not now."

Leo.

His voice carried an edge I had rarely heard from Xavier's usually calm Beta.

A roughness that made my chest tighten even before I fully understood what they were discussing.

  • Bound To The Alpha Who Broke Me   Forty Five - Staying

    AlLTHEA'S P.O.VThe late afternoon light spread itself across the floor and my mother watched me from her chair by the window with an expression I could not entirely read.She studied my face for a moment. Then she sat forward and took my hand in both of hers."Are you all right?"The question landed in the quiet room with more weight than it should have.I looked at her. At this woman who had been my mother my whole life and was something else underneath, who had bitten me three days ago to save my life, who had buried her wolf nature for love and had been forced to dig it up again so I could survive. I loved her. I loved her so much my chest hurt with it. And I could not, in this moment, perform for her. Not even for her."No." I said quietly.She nodded slowly. She did not look surprised. She squeezed my hand and stayed where she was."Tell me.""I do not know where to start, Mom.""Anywhere. Wherever the loudest thing is."I looked at the ceiling for a moment because looking at he

  • Bound To The Alpha Who Broke Me   Forty Four - Learning to breathe

    ALTHEA'S P.O.VThe first thing I noticed when I woke the next morning was how loud the world had become.I lay there for a long time before opening my eyes. The medical room was quiet by ordinary standards. The monitors was removed yesterday afternoon once Dr. Chen was satisfied that my new heart was steady. The IV was gone. The only sound should have been my own breathing and the small ambient noises of a building waking up.It was not.I could hear footsteps somewhere down the corridor. Three sets of them, distinct and separate. Water running in a kitchen two floors down. A bird shifting its weight on the roof tiles above the medical building. Someone was laughing in the dining hall across the compound.I could hear the wind moving through specific branches.It was exhausting before I had even fully opened my eyes.I cracked them open slowly and the light was too bright even though the morning was grey. I turned my head away from the window and pressed my hand flat against my chest

  • Bound To The Alpha Who Broke Me   Forty Three - The Alpha Who Doesn't Let Go

    Third person’s p.o.v"You don't get to be done." Xavier’s voice came out quieter than he had intended.Althea looked up at him. Her exhausted eyes were calm in a way that frightened him."I do.""No." He shook his head slowly. The Alpha in him was waking up underneath the broken man. "You don't. Not yet. Not while I am still standing. You said you were tired and I heard you. But I am not tired, Althea. I am furious with myself. I am desperate. I am every kind of foolish a man can be. But I am not tired and I am not letting you go.""The bond is broken, Xavier.""It's not."She blinked. "What?""It is not fully broken." He kept his voice low. "I said the rejection words. The pack witnessed it. But the bond does not break completely unless you speak the matching words. The counter-rejection. You haven't done that."Xavier saw Althea’s hand drift up to her chest and stay there. Her brows pulled together. She pressed her palm flat over her heart and was silent for a long moment as if she

  • Bound To The Alpha Who Broke Me   Forty Two - Done

    Third Person's POVXavier froze in the doorway.For a long second the world stopped around him. The constant low buzz of the medical machines fell into the background. Everything narrowed down to one single fact that his body had been waiting to confirm for days and was only now allowing itself to believe.She was awake.Althea was sitting up against the pillows. Pale, exhausted, the shadows under her eyes carved deep enough to look almost like bruises. But she was awake. Relief slammed through Xavier with a force that almost took his legs out from under him. He had to brace one hand against the door frame to keep himself upright. The wolf in him was howling somewhere just below his skin. The part of him that had been quietly preparing for the worst was suddenly told that it had been wrong.He did not so much walk as cross the room.He did not even register Althea’s mother starting to walk toward him. He reached Althea's bedside and his arms were around her before he had finished for

    Between Life and DeathAlthea’s P.O.VDarkness.But it wasn't empty. It pulsed softly and steadily, like a heartbeat in the void. My own? I wasn't sure.Then came the stars.One by one, they lit up the darkness above me like someone was painting light onto a black canvas. I was lying on something soft, like moss, though there was no ground.A warm breeze touched my skin, and with it came the scent of lavender and something divine and sacred.I didn't feel pain. Just peace.I opened my eyes fully, and she was there.A beautiful woman.She wasn’t made of shadows or light. She was real. Her hair looked like moonlight flowing down her back. Her eyes were deep, like they held stars inside them. Her skin glowed softly. Being near her made me feel calm and broken at the same time. My chest tightened, and I wanted to cry without knowing why."Where am I?" I whispered.She knelt beside me. Her hands glowed faintly."Between the threads of life and death. A space only the chosen may reach." Sh

  • Bound To The Alpha Who Broke Me   Forty - Anger and revelations

    THIRD PERSON'S P.O.V Three endless days of sitting in a stiff chair, Xavier’s body was aching from lack of movement and his eyes were burning from staring at the same pale figure over and over. Three days of listening to the monitors beep erratically, each pulse and flutter a reminder that Althea’s heart was fighting a losing battle. They had successfully brought her to the hospital but she hadn’t wait up till then. He rubbed his temples for what felt like the hundredth time, trying to will away the growing panic in his chest. Her chest rose and fell with shallow, uneven breaths, and every exhale felt like a knife twisting in him. Dr. Chen had told him that the body was rejecting her heart this morning. That without the bond sustaining her, her human body was realising it had a werewolf heart and was trying to destroy it. Xavier’s fists clenched at that thought. He had begged, pleaded and promised. “There has to be something we can do!” He had shouted. His voice was raw from des

    Althea's P.O.V Xavier's voice was flat with absolutely no room for argument. But he was not looking at Selene. He was looking at me. And the intensity in those silver eyes made my breath catch in my throat. It made my heart stutter. "But Alpha..." Selene started. "I said she stays." Xavier s
