Books lined every available surface. Stacks of them. Shelves. Boxes. Piled neatly like they had been prepared for a long time ago.

But I knew better. This… was because of one conversation. Was he testing me again? Or is he beginning to soften towards me?

I quickly dismissed the thought, the former made more sense.

It's just that this was really an unexpected move. Beyond the scraps of knowledge I’d picked up from the streets, or the rare stolen books on self-defense and war strategy Riven had smuggled to me over the years, I hadn’t had any formal education since my parents died. And when it came to my body—my wolf spirit—I barely understood the basics.

I let out a soft sigh and picked up the first book. What started as casual reading became a full-blown study session. Page after page, I became immersed—drawn in by the clarity, the structure, the truths I’d never had access to.

  • Bound to the Alpha of My Undoing    15. Battle of Dominance

    Lucan I stared at Aurela until the room blurred at the edges. The bond, eager to be consummated, throbbed between us—a pressure that made my palms ache to pull her close and kiss her until she couldn’t breathe. But I had promised myself I wouldn’t. The day before, I had intercepted a letter she was sending. She thought she had been careful enough, but she didn’t know I had placed Gareth and Cole on her watch day after day. They were good at staying in the shadows. We had traveled to different territories and trained in the wild together for ten years—they read tracks and body language the way others read a map. Aurela might have outsmarted most people, but not those two. The letter’s contents were exactly what I had expected: she was in contact with rogues. There had been no mention of plans, only hints and careful phrasing. I supposed she had done it on purpose, always preparing for the worst-case scenario, where a letter got intercepted. That left one certainty—there had to be so

  • Bound to the Alpha of My Undoing    13. A Dark Promise

    Aurela He pushed me onto the bed, and I fell back without resistance. There was no kiss. No tenderness. No warning. Just the harsh sound of fabric tearing as he ripped my dress down the middle, exposing me with a violence that was almost reverent. His mouth dipped to my neck, not to kiss—but to inhale. Like my scent repulsed him… and yet, he couldn’t stop breathing me in. A low groan rumbled from his chest. Dark. Dangerous. Wanting. His hands slid beneath the ruined fabric, finding my breasts and cupping them with a roughness that left me breathless. I gasped. A soft, involuntary moan slipped past my lips as his thumb brushed over my nipple—again and again, until my back arched despite myself. I didn’t mean to react. But my body betrayed me. His breath faltered for half a second. Just a flicker. Then he dragged his mouth down the slope of my throat, slow and searing, stopping just above my collarbone. I thought he might bite—but he didn’t. Instead, his fingers gri

  • Bound to the Alpha of My Undoing    12. Officially Bound

    Lucan I sent my enforcers to pass the news and set everything in place while I got ready. I hadn’t even changed out of my shirt when the summons came. Figures. They were waiting for me in the council chamber—my father and six elders seated around the crescent-shaped table. Their expressions varied: disbelief, anger, cautious curiosity. But one thing was clear— None of them approved. “Lord Lucan,” Elder Varrin began without preamble, his voice low and bristling with disapproval. “We heard troubling news—about your decision to wed the girl. The traitor’s daughter.” I didn’t take the offered seat. I remained standing. Silent. The tension between us thickened. “She’s your destined mate, that’s understandable,” another elder added. “But that doesn’t mean you must marry her. You can reject the bond. Many have done so for far less.” I turned my head slowly toward him, fixing him with a stare that stripped the false diplomacy right off his face. “Do you make a habit of

  • Bound to the Alpha of My Undoing    11. A Dangerous Game

    Aurela I got up and made my way back to my room, determined to defy whatever that was. I wasn’t completely recovered yet, but I forced myself to go about my normal duties. Anything to keep up appearances. No one looked at me strangely. No whispers, no stares, not even a sideways glance about my sudden awakening—or the fact that I’d been gone for a week. That could only mean one thing: someone had covered for me behind the scenes. I didn’t need to guess who that someone was. I slipped through the back corridors of the training hall, clutching a stack of linens I was taking to the laundry. A pair of trainees brushed past me, giggling. One shoved my shoulder without even looking. I staggered. “Sorry,” I muttered, stepping aside. The linens spilled to the floor. They didn’t help—of course. But behind me, a voice cut in—low and cool. “She apologized. You didn’t.” My breath hitched. It was him again. The girls stopped mid-laugh, eyes wide. Lucan stood at the corr

  • Bound to the Alpha of My Undoing    10. No Way in Hell

    Aurela “Stop touching yourself?" The moment I heard that through the bond link, I knew I couldn’t deceive myself any longer. He was aware. From afar, I could hear footsteps approaching the tunnels—swift, purposeful. They were coming for me. I had sent Riven away earlier. I told him I wanted to be alone, that I’d be fine. The truth was, I needed to try relieving the pressure in my own way, hoping maybe I could fight the bond myself. But who would’ve known he’d feel me? Even from a distance—he felt me. My breath caught, my chest heaving from the effort, but I forced myself to move. I had to escape. I couldn’t let whoever he sent find me in this state—weak, exposed, begging silently for relief. If they caught me now, I wouldn’t be able to resist. My body would betray me. Afterwards—when this was over—I could find him myself. To reject him. I used the last bit of strength in me to wipe any trace of Riven from our hideout. I couldn’t expose his existence to them. That w
