Bound to the Alpha of My Undoing 20. New Rules
Aurela The silence in Lucan’s bedroom was heavy enough to drown in. For hours after he left, I didn’t move. I stayed pressed against the headboard, my knees pulled tightly to my chest, waiting for the other shoe to drop. Waiting for the kindness to curdle into cruelty. But no one came bursting through the door to drag me back to the training room. No enforcers arrived with iron cuffs. There was only the quiet crackle of the hearth and the steady, rhythmic thrum of my own heartbeat. And beneath that, something else. A strange, humming warmth in my veins. I looked down at my arms. The deep, purple bruising that had blossomed across my skin from the sheer force of Lucan’s dominance was already turning a faded, sickly yellow. By nightfall, it would be gone completely. My unnatural healing. The thing I had spent my entire life hiding. I pulled the sleeves of my oversized shirt down to my wrists. It didn’t matter how fast my body stitched itself back together. My mind was stil
Bound to the Alpha of My Undoing 19. Elevated Status
Lucan The heavy oak door clicked shut behind me, sealing me in the cold, dimly lit corridor. I stood there for a long time, my hand still resting on the iron latch. The silence of the hallway was a stark contrast to the deafening roar of my own thoughts. Alternating Extremes. I let out a harsh, bitter breath, tilting my head back against the stone wall. She thought my apology was a tactic. A calculated move pulled straight from the pages of the books I had given her. And the worst part? I couldn’t even blame her. If I were in her position—surviving ten years of torture, starvation, and isolation, only to be forced into marriage and subjected to a brutal test of dominance—I wouldn’t have believed me either. I had handed her to Gareth like she was nothing. I had watched her break. My wolf, Kael, let out a low, mournful whine in the back of my mind. He was pacing endlessly, clawing at the edges of my consciousness. *We hurt her,* he snarled. *She looks at us like we are the
Bound to the Alpha of My Undoing 18. A Changed Lucan
Aurela The first thing I registered was the smell. Pine needles, frost, and something distinctly, suffocatingly male. His scent. My eyes snapped open, but the sudden rush of light sent a spike of agony straight through my skull. I squeezed my eyes shut, a breathless gasp tearing from my throat. My body felt like it had been crushed beneath a boulder and hastily pieced back together. My limbs were leaden, my chest hollow, and my mind… my mind felt bruised. The phantom weight of his Alpha dominance still pressed against the edges of my consciousness, a terrifying reminder of how easily he could snap my will if he chose to. I tried to push myself up, my fingers digging into the impossibly soft silk sheets beneath me. "Don't. You need to rest." The voice was low, rough, and entirely too close. I froze. Slowly, I turned my head. Lucan was sitting in a high-backed armchair drawn right up to the edge of the bed. He wasn’t wearing his formal lord’s coat or his polished armor.
Bound to the Alpha of My Undoing 17. A Vow Unspoken
Lucan Her body slumped before I could think. One heartbeat she was staring at me with those broken eyes, the next she was falling. A snarl ripped from my throat—raw, panicked—and before she hit the ground, I shifted mid-stride, fur and claws giving way to skin and hands, and caught her against me. She was so light it terrified me, her head resting against my chest, her skin clammy with exhaustion. “Aurela,” I breathed, shaking her gently, but she didn’t stir. Her lashes lay against her cheeks, still damp with tears, her lips parted as though the fight had finally drained her. I’d seen wolves endure wounds that should have killed them, but this—this was worse. The pain I’d subjected her to had broken her from the inside, and I had stood there, watching, as though she weren’t mine to protect. I gathered her in my arms and strode for the door. She needed treatment, fast. Gasps rippled through the air as I emerged with her in my arms—sharp, hushed intakes of breath. I didn’t need to
Bound to the Alpha of My Undoing 16. The Fall
Aurela I gave a bitter laugh, the sound harsh in my throat. How foolish of me to think something was beginning to shift between us, that perhaps—just perhaps—Lucan was starting to see me as more than the cursed girl bound to him. I’d been deceiving myself all along. The golden-eyed wolf across the room pinned me with his gaze, unrelenting and burning. For one terrifying moment, I thought he would lunge at me, tear me apart with those gleaming fangs and powerful jaws. But he didn’t. He just paced, back and forth, muscles rippling beneath his dark pelt, claws scraping lightly against the floor. His ears flicked toward me, his chest heaving as though every breath was a war. He wanted to approach. I could feel it in the restless way he moved, in the way his eyes softened when they caught mine—but he held himself back. Skeptical. Cautious. Almost… apologetic. That look enraged me more than anything. How dare he wear that sorry look when he was the one who caused me this pain? How dare
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
