Horace’s POV

As we stood close, the air between us tightening, our breathing grew heavy with each passing second.

“Elena!” The words rolled off my tongue like honey.

“Yeah.” She replied, hand perched on my shoulder.

“I I’m sorry about what I did earlier. I shouldn’t have said that to you.”

“Don’t apologize.” She replied, voice a wrapped sensuality. Soft. Uncertain but heavy with meaning.

“Are you sure?” I replied involuntarily, kind, my hand running up her thighs.

She had no words, just a slight nod.

A silence followed, stretching, deepening as our eyes found each other, staring deeply.

Neither of us moved out of place; we just stood still, heads occasionally leaning and pulling as if to test the distance.

But I had had enough. I was tired of waiting and imagining. I wanted her. I needed all of her.

So I leaned in, her breath seized, but she remained in place.

A moment later, my lips brushed against hers. Gently at first. Then I pulled back a bit, trying to savour the moment.

Then I w

  • Bound by His Mark, Freed by His Betrayal   Chapter 212

    Elena’s POVHorace and I walked into my office after he had basically forced himself on me, declaring that he was going to be doing his work in my office for the next few days.Even though I tried to stop him, he wasn’t having it, so I just let him be. After all, I couldn’t see that I wasn’t enjoying their attention of having my husband around me.The thoughts made me giggle to myself as I turned the key on my lock to my office.As soon as we got in, the first thing my mind registered was a strange item lying on my almost empty desk.An envelope.I stopped in the middle of the office, squinting my brows as I tried to think where it would come from.“What is it?” he asked behind me.“It’s that envelope over there, I don’t remember living anything like it.”He walked forward, picking it up and assessing it as if checking for any danger it may carry. When he was certain, there was no danger attached to it, he turned back to me.“Maybe one of the nurses left it for you. Perhaps, a messag

  • Bound by His Mark, Freed by His Betrayal   Chapter 211

    Vivienne’s POVThe morning after the night was no different from another one…for me at least. I sat across from him at one of the small outdoor breakfast tables, and he wouldn’t even look at me. However, he was busy with Meiling and playing with her and repeatedly addressing her as his mother.I was beyond sad, but I decided to chug it down and try again.“Ethan, did you finally find sleep last night?”He turned his attention to me, no anger on his face, and no special smile as he had for her. Just a polite expression.“Yes, Aunty. I slept well, all things to Mama and Papa.”I took a quick glance towards the woman beside him, watching as her laughter drifted towards the Alpha. The smug smile on her face was very apparent. She knew exactly what she was doing.“Oh, that’s very good. I’m happy you didn’t get any more nightmares.”In a bid to stop the silly wide grins on their faces, I decided to bring up another topic.“So, Ethan, does he usually have nightmares like that? I mean, he s

    Vivienne’s POVAs I thought about how I hadn’t really been spending enough time with my nephew, as I had been too preoccupied trying to protect this place on the throne, I decided to start that night.It wasn’t just about securing his place; I also needed him to feel the love—his mother’s love through me, so I picked up some of my extra pillows and made my way towards his room. I needed to create that bonding with him so he could know he had someone outside the palace in case anything ever came up.I dismissed the attendants, deciding to handle whatever was needed myself.“What are you doing here, Aunty?” His tiny voice spoke out to me as soon as he saw me standing in the middle of his room.I smiled. “Ethan, Aunty will be sleeping here tonight. You and I, we are going to be creating some bonding experiences. We can play games or watch whatever you want on TV. Is that alright with you?”He stared at me as if I were speaking another language. “I thought I was supposed to spend the nig

    Horace’s POVI gave Tom the other quietly.“Start from the beginning, look into everything that has to do with this case. I want results.”Tom nodded from across my desk, posture, streets, and eyes sharp as he listened to me.“Alpha, do you have any particular person in mind? Something that can help you work hastening up,” he asked. I shook my head. The only person I have in mind turned out to be a dead end. A victim of the situation at hand so at that point, I really didn’t have much to give either.“It’s fine, Alpha. I’ll start from the top as you said, and I’ll have to look into the palace staff, if that is okay with you?”“Of course. You are allowed to look into everyone. The attendants, drivers, guards, and even the healers. You can even extend it to the hospital staff and every other staff in the other sectors, Tom. I don’t want any stone left unturned. I need results to come out of this. Results that I can use to put an end to this immediately.”He nodded, bowed and walked ou

    Horace’s POVMy car was basically at full speed as I rushed to the one place I had in mind. As soon as I got there, I stopped right outside the spot, got out, and made my way slowly into the woods.It looked exactly as I remembered it. Quiet and carrying an air of secrecy and privacy.My heart began to pound against my chest as I hoped my suspicions would turn out right.As I went deeper into the forest, it didn't take long before I set my eyes on her.She didn’t see me at first as her eyes were off to the other side, so I just stood there, taking a deep breath, happy that I had finally seen her.She was seated on a large stone near the edge of the forest overlooking nothing in particular. Her shoulder rose and fell slowly, and I could hear the quiet sobs breaking the silence of the forest.The sight of her like that broke something in me.I walked further, eager to finally lay my hands on her. As I got closer to her, that was when she finally perceived a presence.She turned towards

  • Bound by His Mark, Freed by His Betrayal   Chapter 207

    Horace’s POVAlthough the speed was at its highest it could be, the drive still felt so damn slow.Every red light pissed me off, and at a point, I even stopped waiting on them.Finally, I reached the hospital and jumped out of my car immediately. I just wanted to be in her office, hold her in my arms as soon as I could.As I was about to enter the lobby, I paused, not really sure why, but it felt as if there was a familiar pool at the entrance calling on me.I looked out for a second, hoping to see something I recognized, but when I realized no one else was there, I chugged it down as my own wild, disturbed imagination and marched into the lobby.As soon as I marched in, the bows and greetings began, the stares and whispers followed, but that was the least of my problems.I headed straight for her office, and as I got here, I pushed it open.“Bab—.”Silence. Emptiness. These were all I met with in her wide-open office.My heart skipped.I stepped inside, scanning the room, hoping to
