Bound to the Alpha She Was Raised to Hate Chapter 120
Odessa's POV"No," I said.It came out faster than I expected, no hesitation in it at all, and something about hearing my own voice say it so plainly surprised me almost as much as it seemed to surprise Marsh."No," he repeated, studying me carefully. "Just like that.""Just like that," I said. "I appreciate the offer, I really do, but I can't sit in that chamber, Councilor Marsh. Not now. Maybe not ever.""May I ask why?" he said, his tone carrying curiosity rather than any real pushback.I thought about how to explain it, my mind still exhausted, still raw from everything the last twenty-four hours had put me through."Because that chamber's been the center of every terrible thing that's happened to me since I was twelve years old," I said finally. "My parents' deaths were quietly buried in a room just like that one. My own future got decided there without my consent, more than once. Corvin sat in there for years, running that entire program with nobody in that building ever botheri

Odessa's POVThe presiding elder called for a vote within the hour, and I stood beside Ronan near the front of that packed chamber, my heart pounding despite everything I already survived to reach this moment, some small, stubborn part of me still bracing for a different outcome than the one I desperately hoped for."Those in favor of formally dismissing all charges against Odessa Ravencourt," the elder said, his voice carrying steady across the chamber, "given the evidence presented regarding their fabrication under Magistrate Ashgrave's direct orders."Hands rose across the council table, one after another, and I watched with something close to disbelief as the count climbed past what I cautiously allowed myself to hope for."Those opposed," the elder said.Silence. Not a single hand."The charges are formally dismissed," the elder said, and the crowd erupted into a mixture of applause and relieved murmuring that took a long moment to settle.I felt Ronan's hand tighten around mine,

Odessa's POVThey gave us a few hours to be seen by healers, patched up in a quiet side room while the sky outside slowly turned from black to gray, and by the time someone came to tell us the council chamber was already filling, none of us had managed more than a few stolen minutes of actual sleep."You don't have to go in there," Ronan said, watching me flex my bandaged hand carefully, the burns from earlier already fading faster than they had any right too,given everything else my body had just been through."I do," I said. "This isn't something I can watch happen from the outside."He didn't argue further. He just took my hand, careful of the bandage, and we walked together toward the chamber, Briar and Micah trailing close behind, all of us bearing marks from the night in one form or another.Nothing could have prepared me for what waited inside.The tribunal from the day before had felt crowded. This was something else entirely. Every seat filled, every aisle packed with people

Odessa's POVThe sound of boots came before anything else, dozens of them, pounding fast down the corridor toward the shattered doorway, and every muscle in my body locked tight all over again despite the exhaustion still dragging at my bones."More of them," Micah said, his voice rough, still braced in the doorway despite the blood soaking through his shirt. "Damnit, how many did he have stationed here.""I don't know if they're his," Briar said, straightening beside him, her weight still favoring the good ankle, though something steadier had settled into her posture now. "Listen."I forced myself to listen too, my heart hammering, and beneath the pounding boots I caught fragments of voices, none of them shouting orders the way Corvin's enforcers had earlier. Just confusion. Overlapping questions. Someone repeating a name that wasn't mine or Ronan's or Corvin's, some council title I didn't recognize."They don't sound coordinated," Ronan said, pulling himself upright beside me, one a

Odessa's POVMy knees hit the stone floor, my strength buckling under the sheer weight of Corvin's final push, and for one terrible second I genuinely thought this was it, that everything we fought through, everything we survived, was about to end here in a cell that was never meant to hold either of us alive.Ronan didn't stay down.I felt his hand tear free of mine, and through the roar filling my ears I heard him force himself back up, one knee, then the other, his whole body shaking with the effort, blood still smeared across his jaw from the fight in the corridor."Ronan," I gasped, straining to keep my own head up. "Don't..""Not finished," he said, his voice cracking, though nothing about the set of his shoulders looked like a man ready to quit.Corvin's focus had narrowed entirely onto me, every last reserve of his power funneled into keeping me pinned, and I understood, watching Ronan drag himself back to his feet through sheer stubborn will, that Corvin hadn't accounted for

Odessa's POV"You're afraid," I said, and hearing myself say it out loud made it feel more real than anything else that had happened in that room so far. "For the first time since I've known you, you're actually afraid.""Careful," Corvin said, the warning carried none of its usual weight now, his voice thin, stretched, a man scrambling to hold onto authority that had already started slipping through his fingers. "Fear doesn't mean I'm without options.""Then use them," I said.I didn't wait for him to decide whether he would. I moved first, my whole body finally answering to instinct instead of struggling against restraint, and the light gathering beneath my skin surged forward the moment I willed it to, meeting the flickering edges of his second sigil head-on.The impact rattled the whole room.Stone dust rained down from somewhere overhead, and I felt the floor buckle slightly beneath my feet, cracks racing further outward from where the first symbol had already shattered.
