Chapter Four

 

Ella’s POV

 

I sat in front of the mirror, staring at my reflection. My personal maid had just finished my makeup—a full glam look that shimmered beneath the chandelier light. I slightly detested it. I preferred my natural skin: bare, fierce, and unyielding, like the Alpha blood running through my veins.

 

But appearances were weapons too.

 

My first mission was to make Rohan Sylvia fall in love with me—and that alone felt like suicide.

How was I supposed to make a man like him leave his chosen Luna and choose me?


Not just anyone… but his enemy’s daughter. What was Father thinking?

 

I wanted to scream, to shift, to tear something apart. But I couldn’t. The moment I returned to this territory, I knew there was no backing out.

 

I wiped the lipstick off and leaned closer to the mirror.


If I was going to do this, I needed a plan—and a damn good one.

 

“Seriously? And you think you can pull that off?” Ria’s voice snapped from the doorway.

 

She was my assistant, my best friend, and Mrs. Bale’s youngest daughter—practically family. She’d been with me since I came back to the kingdom.

 

“I’m happy your eyes are finally open,” Ria muttered, folding her arms. “You left that bastard—that flea-bitten mutt—sorry, I mean he left you. Same thing. But seriously, how could you agree to that condition from your father?”

 

“It would be better to just rip his throat out and burn the remains rather than attempt something this dangerous,” she added.

 

Three years ago, she’d begged me not to marry a human, Luciano. But I hadn’t listened. And now, every time she roasted him, I knew I deserved it.

I sighed.


“I’m not killing Luciano,” I said. “He’s not worth a quick death. I want him to see me where he can’t reach, to suffer slowly. I’ll make Rohan fall for me. He won’t even see it coming.”

 

Ria blinked. “Do you even know who we’re talking about? The Alpha of the IronClaw Pack? The one who despises your father? You think he’ll destroy his bond for you? Rumor has it he’s madly in love with his Luna-to-be.”

 

“Do you forget who I am?” I smiled, twisting a lock of hair around my finger. “All men fall for me at a single glance.”

 

Ria snorted. “And yet Luciano left you for that wench—an ordinary human?”

 

“Ria!”

 

“Just saying.” She shrugged.

 

“Believe it or not, I’ll pull it off at the Gala tomorrow,” I declared.

 

“You’re seriously going?”

 

“Yes,” I said, firm and cold. “I’m done being the weak one.”

 

***

 

The gala was exactly what I expected—power, dominance, and quiet rivalries disguised as smiles.

It was the most exclusive supernatural event of the year. Alphas, Betas, Lunas even Elders of the highest ranks attended.

 

Crystal chandeliers dripped silver light, and the air was thick with the scent of wolves, money, and magic.

 

I wore a purple satin gown that hugged every curve. It wasn’t just beautiful, it was lethal. My presence demanded attention, and I could feel every gaze drawn to me like moths to a flame.

 

All except one.

 

I reached for a glass of sparkling bloodwine from the nearest waitress, my gaze fixed on him: Alpha Rohan Sylvia.

 

He stood in the center of the room, surrounded by powerful allies. His aura was overwhelming—calm, dominant, dangerously composed. Even from across the hall, I could feel his wolf pulsing beneath his skin, commanding silence around him.

 

It had been years since I’d seen him, and he looked even more handsome than I remembered.

 

Suddenly, he turned mid-conversation. Our eyes met. For a moment, he froze. His breath seemed to still.

 

His sharp ocean eyes locked on me. His expression didn’t change—no smirk, no smile. He simply watched, studying me, scanning every detail as if undressing me with his gaze.

 

I could feel his energy brushing against mine, a quiet current pulling at the air.

 

The moment stretched, long and heavy. Something hooked between us.

 

Then he took a step forward.

 

I smirked. Perfect. The great Alpha Rohan couldn’t resist me after all.

 

“He’s coming,” Ria whispered.

 

“Of course,” I said, confidence dripping from my voice. “They all do.”

 

But just as he neared… he brushed past me.
Didn’t stop. Didn’t even glance down.

 

His cologne lingered—wild cedar and smoke—mocking me as he walked straight toward her.

Brielle.

 

The woman the entire kingdom called his fated mate. She wore a white gown that made her look divine, untouchable. He smiled at her, held her hand like she was his moon.

 

Ria’s voice cut through my fury. “Told you. He only sees her.”

 

I didn’t answer. My claws itched beneath my skin.

“Get me a few men,” I said quietly.

 

Ria blinked. “For what?”

 

I turned, lips curling into a dangerous smirk. “For something big.”

 

Few weeks later…

 

“The whole nation awaits the Luna Ceremony,” the news blared. “Alpha Rohan Sylvia will officially claim his mate, Brielle, under the full moon tonight.”

Ria slammed the remote. “Seriously?! You’re just sitting there eating cookies while he’s about to bond with her?”

 

I chuckled softly. “Relax.”

 

“You said you had it under control!”

 

“I do.”

 

“Then what is this?”

 

“My greatest plan,” I said, rising from my chair and brushing the crumbs off my fingers.

 

Ria stared, horrified. “You didn’t even tell me!”

 

“Get dressed. Gather the men. We have a Luna Ceremony to attend.”

 

***

 

The IronClaw territory glowed under the full moon. The sacred courtyard shimmered with silver light reflecting off every stone. Wolves in fine clothes and glittering jewelry filled the space, their scents a mix of dominance and envy.

 

I walked through the grand entrance, my heels clicking against the marble. Every gaze turned toward me, whispers following like shadows.

 

The priest of the Moon Goddess stood before the altar, his robe glimmering faintly with enchantment.

“Under the sacred eye of Selene,” he began, “we unite this Alpha and his Luna in heart, soul, and bond.”

 

Rohan’s expression was softer than I had ever seen it. He actually looked happy—a sight I didn’t expect.

 

Too bad.

 

I was about to ruin it.

 

“Do you, Alpha Rohan Sylvia, accept this woman as your Luna, your partner in bond and rule?” the priest asked.

 

“I do.” He didn’t hesitate.

 

“And do you, Brielle—”

 

The priest never finished.

 

“I OBJECT TO THIS UNION!” 

 

The words echoed across the courtyard like thunder.

 

Every wolf froze. The crowd gasped. The air thickened with shock and power.

 

Heads turned. Eyes widened.

 

And I stood there—unbothered, a smirk curling at the corner of my lips.

 

Showtime.

  • Bound to the Enemy Alpha   The Cost of Standing Still

    Chapter 151Rohan POVThe first mistake people made about power was assuming it announced itself. The second was believing restraint meant hesitation.I watched the estate wake from the balcony outside my office, the morning light cutting clean lines across stone and glass. The grounds were calm, orderly—too orderly for what was coming. When systems were about to fracture, there was always a moment like this: the stillness before pressure forced everything to choose a direction.Ella stood somewhere inside the eye of that pressure now. She was letting the world tilt around her while she stayed maddeningly still.Amanda had adjusted her tone overnight and that alone confirmed what I already knew—Ella’s silence was working. It didn’t mean it was safe.Nikolai entered without knocking. He understood that knocking implied permission, and at this stage of escalation, permission was a luxury we no longer pretended to need.“She’s calling for dialogue,” he said, tossing a tablet onto the des

  • Bound to the Enemy Alpha   The Quiet After the First Strike

    Chapter 150Ella POVThe war did not arrive with sirens or shouting. It arrived the way real danger always did—quietly, wrapped in polite language and public concern, disguised as reason.By the time Amanda’s broadcast finished circulating, the estate felt different. It was just alert, like a body that had sensed pain before the nerve fully fired. I felt it in my chest first.Rohan did not say much after the announcement. He did not pace or bark orders or retreat into the cold efficiency he once used like armor. Instead, he stayed close, not hovering, not guarding, simply present. That alone told me how seriously he was taking this. Rohan only went still when he was preparing to move with precision.I excused myself after the council briefing ended, telling Nikolai and the others that I needed air. No one questioned it. That, too, was new. A few months ago, my absence from a room would have triggered scrutiny. Now, it triggered me to take a moment and recalculate.I walked the outer

  • Bound to the Enemy Alpha   Stronger After Survival

    Chapter 149Rohan POVI had spent most of my life believing that survival was about dominance, striking first, standing taller, and being feared enough that no one dared to test you. That belief had shaped me long before I ever wore the title of Alpha, long before the packs learned my name.I knew better now. Survival, real survival, was about what endured after the strike landed. It was about what remained when the lies were exposed, when the armor cracked, when the world saw you without the mythology you had built to protect yourself.Ella and I had survived the truth and that realization settled over me as I stood alone in my office, watching the estate grounds through the tall windows. The media presence outside had thinned, but the tension had not. It lingered in the air, coiled and watchful. The kind of tension that didn’t explode immediately, but waited for the right moment to strike.Our enemies had expected us to fracture. They had assumed that exposure would weaken us, that

  • Bound to the Enemy Alpha   Love After Truth

    Chapter 148Ella POVThe morning felt different before anything actually happened and that was the unsettling part.I woke with the strange clarity that usually came before impact, the kind that settles in your chest when instinct has already registered what your mind is still pretending not to see. The estate was quiet, but not peaceful. There was movement beneath the stillness, like a held breath stretched too long.Rohan was already awake. I could sense him before I saw him, the familiar weight of his presence moving through the space like gravity. When I stepped into the sitting room, he was standing near the windows, jacket folded over his arm, his posture calm in a way that told me he was braced for something.He turned when he heard me. There was no hesitation in his eyes, guilt or guardedness. Whatever Amanda was preparing, whatever shadows were gathering, he had already decided how he would meet it. Together.“You don’t have to do this,” he said, not as a warning but as a

  • Bound to the Enemy Alpha   Breaking Bad

    Chapter 147Amanda POVI had always believed that love was the most reliable weakness a person could offer the world.It was not because it made people foolish. I knew that was the lie people liked to tell themselves. Love did something far more useful. It made people predictable. It narrowed their vision and convinced them that transparency was courage and that truth, once confessed, could somehow absolve strategy.I watched Ella and Rohan from a distance, figuratively and literally, as their reconciliation unfolded. It was not through hidden cameras or stolen whispers, but through patterns and public choices. The subtle way power shifted when two people stopped pretending they were alone in it.They thought they had survived the worst of it and that was their mistake. I did not feel anger watching them stand together. I felt confirmation. Everything I had anticipated was arriving right on schedule. Rohan had chosen openness. Ella had chosen presence. Together, they had chosen visibi

  • Bound to the Enemy Alpha   Love Without Illusion

    Chapter 146Rohan POVI stayed where Ella left me long after the door closed.The room felt altered, as if the truth had rearranged the air itself. I had faced wars with clearer footing than this moment, because battle at least came with rules. This had none. Only consequences, layered and unavoidable.Love born in lies. I turned the phrase over in my mind, testing its weight. It would have been easier if it felt counterfeit. Easier if I could dismiss it as manipulation that had gone too far. But that was the problem. It hadn’t stayed false. It had grown teeth and warmth and permanence. It had become real while we weren’t paying attention.I had chosen Ella believing she was honest with me. Now I was choosing her knowing exactly who she was, and who she had been sent to be.That difference mattered.I left the room before doubt could turn into retreat. Cowardice had already cost me too much.Nikolai was waiting in the corridor, arms crossed, expression unreadable in the way only someo
