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.

    Chapter 154Ella POVSome truths don’t arrive as answers and rather arrive as poison. My father’s words had not simply planted doubt in my mind—they had shattered the ground beneath everything I believed about myself.Even hours later, his sentences kept echoing inside my head, each repetition sharper than the last. I sat on the edge of the bed in the guest wing of Rohan’s estate, my hands clenched together so tightly my knuckles had turned white.Outside the tall windows, the territory slept under the quiet watch of the moon. Wolves moved along the perimeter, guards changing shifts, life continuing as if nothing had happened. But inside me, everything had already begun to collapse.Ria had stayed with me earlier, speaking softly, trying to calm the storm she could clearly see brewing behind my eyes. She had told me my father was angry and he was trying to manipulate me. She has said I should wait until morning when things would be clearer but the problem with doubt was that it didn’t

  • Bound to the Enemy Alpha   Ghosts of the Old Alpha

    Chapter 153Rohan POVThe moment Alpha Ethan Dracula left the courtyard, the silence he left behind felt heavier than any roar.I had seen many battles in my life—political ones, physical ones, even wars fought through whispers and manipulation. But nothing had ever landed a blow like the sentence he had just spoken. Enjoy yourself with your brother.The words kept replaying in my mind like a cruel echo. I stood in the courtyard long after Ethan disappeared beyond the gates, my body rigid, my thoughts racing through possibilities I did not want to consider.Beside me, Ella looked like the ground had vanished beneath her feet. Her breathing had turned shallow, uneven. I reached for her instinctively. “Ella—”She stepped back, putting enough distance to make the gesture feel like a wall. My chest tightened.“Did you know?” she whispered.The question sliced deeper than any accusation.“No,” I said immediately.She searched my face, as if trying to see past my answer into the truth bene

  • Bound to the Enemy Alpha   A Father’s Cruel Truth

    Chapter 152Ella POVThe day my father arrived, the sky felt heavier than usual. As if the air itself knew something was about to break.I stood near the balcony overlooking the courtyard of Rohan’s estate, watching the guards shift their positions below. They weren’t panicking, but they were alert more than usual. Ever since Amanda’s public broadcast and the quiet war she had started, tension had wrapped itself around the territory like a tightening coil.But this felt different and more personal. I sensed the disturbance before anyone told me what it was. Wolves felt things like that—the subtle ripple of dominance entering territory, the pressure of a powerful Alpha crossing borders without asking permission.A shiver ran through me. Then the door behind me opened. Ria stepped in quickly, her expression tight in a way that immediately told me the day had just changed direction.“Ella,” she said quietly. “Someone’s here.”I turned to face her fully. “Who?”She hesitated. For the firs

  • 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
