Bound To The Ruthless Alpha CHAPTER 26: Part 3
Mira’s lips pressed together, forming a thin line that made her look older than her years. Her gaze flicked briefly around the room—to the door with its heavy lock, to the windows with their view of the darkening sky, to the shadows gathering in the corners—as though checking whether Kael himself might be lurking nearby, might appear at any moment like a predator materializing from darkness.Then, at last, she looked back at me. When she spoke again, her voice was even lower, even more careful, shaped by caution and concern in equal measure.“Everyone is… unsettled,” she said, choosing her words with the precision of someone walking through a field of hidden traps. “When word spread that he brought you here—”I frowned, my brows knitting together in confusion. “Here? You mean to his quarters?”She nodded once, a sharp, solemn movement of her head. “To his room. To this room, specifically.”A shiver rippled through me, starting at the base of my spine and spreading outward like ripples

I stared at her, really looked at her, at the way she sat so openly in this room where she had no right to be, where her presence was a violation of rules older than either of us. At the way her hands remained folded calmly even though I could see the tension in her shoulders, the tightness around her eyes that spoke of fear held carefully in check.Fear surged through me, sharper than before, cutting through the panic with surgical precision. Fear for her. Because if Kael found her here, if he discovered that she had dared to enter his private sanctuary without permission—“You shouldn’t be here,” I said quickly, the words tumbling over one another in my haste to get them out, to make her understand the danger she was in. “Mira, you can’t be here. What if Kael finds out? What if someone tells him? He’ll—” I couldn’t finish the sentence. Couldn’t give voice to the terrible possibilities that flashed through my mind. The punishments he could inflict. The ways he could make her suffer f
Bound To The Ruthless Alpha Chapter 26: The Forbidden Room
I didn’t remember when my body gave out. When the last threads of consciousness slipped through my fingers like water I couldn’t hold.One moment, I was trembling beneath Kael’s touch, every nerve ending alive with sensation I didn’t want, didn’t ask for, couldn’t escape. My skin aflame from where his lips had branded me—on my throat, my collarbone, the sensitive spot behind my ear that made me gasp despite myself. My body buzzing with fear and something I refused to name, something darker and more dangerous than fear, something that felt like wanting even though I hated him, hated this, hated myself for responding at all.The next moment, I was gone. Simply gone. Dragged under by exhaustion so heavy, so complete, I couldn’t fight it. Like being pulled beneath dark water, down and down until even the light disappeared and there was nothing but darkness and the blessed numbness of oblivion.-----When my eyes finally fluttered open, the world came back to me in fragments. Blurred shape

The maid’s eyes met mine, and I recognized her. Elira’s shadow. One of her handmaidens, who had trailed her like a wraith, who had witnessed her every bruise, her every scar. She knew the truth of what Roran Vale had done. Had seen Elira’s suffering firsthand.And now she had spat venom at Aria because of it.A muscle ticked in my jaw as I stepped toward her, slow and deliberate. Predatory.“Do you know why you’re standing here?” I asked, my voice low, dangerous. Each word carefully controlled, which somehow made them more threatening than if I’d shouted.She lifted her chin, trembling but trying to stand tall despite the broken bones in her body. Despite the obvious pain. “Because I spoke the truth.”My wolf surged at the insolence, snarling to be let loose, demanding I rip her throat out for the disrespect. But I held him back—barely.“The truth,&rdqu

“Alpha,” one of the generals said carefully, his voice breaking through the suffocating tension. He was young, newer to my ranks, and the fear in his voice was palpable. “We had reports of movement near the southern border. It may be the Vale scouts testing our patrols again.”Vale.Rage ignited instantly, a white-hot fury that burned away everything else. Her father’s pack. The reason she was here. The reason my wolf was unraveling. The man who had killed Elira.Elira.The name echoed in my mind, and I waited for the grief to come. The rage. The hollow ache that had consumed me after her death.But it didn’t come.Instead, all I could think about was Aria’s taste on my tongue.The realization made me sick.I should thank Roran for sending her to me—if only so I could break her piece by piece and send him the scraps. Show him what happened to his pr

I pressed my forehead against my knees, a bitter laugh catching in my throat. For years I thought being wolf-less was my curse. The great shame of my life, the thing that made me less than everyone around me. But now I had a wolf, and she was a bigger mystery than the silence that had haunted me for nineteen years.At least the silence had been empty. This—this was full of shadows and secrets I couldn’t name.She whispered again, soft this time, almost kind: “Learn, Aria. Because if Kael ever realizes what I am, what you are, neither of us will have the choice to fight back.”The words sent ice through my veins. What I am. What *we* are. As though I was something other than what I’d always believed. As though there was more to my existence than just being Roran Vale’s disappointing daughter.“Then tell me,” I whispered aloud, my voice hoarse. “Tell me what we are.”But

Some mornings it came easier than others. Some mornings I could speak without my throat closing around the words. Today wasn't one of them. But Mira never made me feel like silence was failure.She moved toward the pot near the window, and I sat on the edge of the bed, watching the fire catch in th

I could feel their eyes like physical weight pressing down on me. Some curious, some pitying, some calculating what my presence here meant for their own political positions. None of them looked at me like I was a person—only like a piece in a game they were all trying to understand.Even the ones w

The revelation sat strange in my chest. Relief and confusion tangled together until I couldn't tell which was stronger.I blinked once.Then smiled — a strange, broken curve of a smile."Oh," I whispered. "So he's waiting."Mira didn't respond."He wants it to matter," I said. "He's saving it. For

I turned back to the mirror and stared at myself.The dress was simple, fitted in a way that flattered without inviting. The color: midnight blue. Regal. Cold. The neckline dipped just enough to draw the eye, and the sleeves bared my shoulders.Mira had chosen it carefully. I could see that now. Bl
