Fractured Bond: Hiding the Alpha's heir 125. The reckoning
Draven POVGeorge Hunt was the first to take action.After spending time with my family at the park, I drove straight out of neutral territory and headed for LongClaws. It was Sunday, but George was working. I suspected he had deliberately made himself available, especially after the looks he'd been giving me recently. He knew something. He had been asking questions about my pack and Bronze Crescent's history, and he knew Layla was originally from there. Whatever he had uncovered, it was clearly weighing on him.But that wasn't why I had come to see him, so I kept my questions to myself. He made no attempt to bring it up either. He simply watched me as I entered, his expression guarded, as though he was waiting to hear what I had to say before deciding whether I deserved even a moment of his time.I didn't waste it.I told him about Carla's confession, including what she had said about Gordon drugging him and Layla that night. I explained that Elder Charles Reagan had witnessed the c
Fractured Bond: Hiding the Alpha's heir 124. The brother's notice
Layla POVWhen he finished, he carefully returned the documents to the envelope and placed it back on the table. His movements were so controlled that, for a moment, I found myself more unsettled by them than I would have been if he'd lashed out.I remembered the male who had appeared out of nowhere and kidnapped me in front of that restaurant. The fury I'd seen in him then had been unmistakable. Now, looking at his face, I could almost imagine that same anger gathering beneath the calm surface."Luca, he will pay for his crimes," I said quickly. "I'm taking those documents to the High Council first thing tomorrow."He only nodded. His jaw was still clenched, but he made no comment about Gordon or the evidence he'd just read. Instead, he said, "I've prepared a place for you two. It's bigger than this one. More comfortable."I stared at him.That was it? Not a question about the documents, not a comment about Gordon, not even an expression of disbelief at what he'd discovered. He simpl
Fractured Bond: Hiding the Alpha's heir 123. The new uncle
Layla POV"You know him?" I asked Aiden, still surprised by how familiar he seemed with Luca."Yes. He's Mister Clyde's friend.""I'm also your uncle," Luca said before I could respond.I glanced at him, uncertain whether this was the best way to introduce them. Aiden had only just met him, and there was quite a difference between knowing someone as Mister Clyde's friend and suddenly discovering that he was family. But Luca had already made the announcement, so I decided to follow his lead."Aiden, he's right. He's not just Mister Clyde's friend. He's your Uncle Luca. My brother."Luca's expression softened. He looked at Aiden with a smile that seemed to hold more warmth than I'd seen on his face since we reunited. Aiden studied him for a moment, apparently taking in the new information, before accepting the introduction without any of the questions I had expected. Perhaps, to a six-year-old, having another uncle was simply something to be pleased about.Once they had exchanged a fe
Fractured Bond: Hiding the Alpha's heir 122. The son's secret friend
Layla POVMy life had become one problem after another, each demanding something from me before I had time to recover from the last. Tomorrow, I had to begin the process of bringing Gordon to justice—a male I had once called Dad. There were statements to make, evidence to submit, questions I would have to answer about the years he had controlled my life. And then there was the surgery.I wasn’t even sure I wanted to go through with it.I had lived wolfless for all of my adult life until now. I had built a career, raised a son, and made a life for myself without a wolf. What difference would it make now? I had learned to live with the limitations, the insults, and the way some werewolves looked at me as though I were incomplete.But that wasn’t the whole truth. I wanted my wolf.I wanted the right to stand among my kind without being reduced to the word wolfless. I wanted people to know I wasn’t some ordinary orphan who had somehow managed to survive. I was Beta-born, a ranked she-wolf
Fractured Bond: Hiding the Alpha's heir 121. The brother's question
Layla POVDraven and I walked back to the park in silence.He didn’t ask me anything about Luca, and I didn’t offer an explanation. George had told me that Draven had seen the photographs of the wolves who kidnapped me. Now he knew one of those men was my brother. A blood relative who hated him and would never accept the idea of us together.I could almost hear the questions gathering behind Draven’s silence. Who was Luca to me beyond being my brother? Why had he been watching us? I was prepared to answer none of them. Thankfully, he didn’t ask.Aiden was playing with two other children when we returned. He was laughing, chasing the ball across the grass, completely unaware of the confrontation that had taken place in the woods. When he noticed us, he waved enthusiastically. I lifted my hand in response, then made my way to a bench where I could watch him.Draven sat beside me.He didn’t crowd me nor speak. He simply settled on the bench, his attention moving between Aiden and me. The
Fractured Bond: Hiding the Alpha's heir 120. Alpha's other worries
Draven POVI couldn’t believe she thought I was worried about people’s opinions. But I couldn’t blame her for thinking that. I had hidden her from the entire pack when I learned she was my mate, afraid of what they might do to her or say about an Alpha heir choosing a wolfless female. I had given her every reason to believe I cared more about appearances than about her.Still, some small, foolish part of me wondered if her assumption meant something had changed between us. Maybe she was beginning to believe I wanted her for herself, not because of what the pack expected or what the bond demanded. Maybe she was starting to reconsider me. Us.I watched her weigh my words, her expression difficult to read, before she let out a quiet sigh.“I know things have been all over the place these last few days,” I told her. “It’s not something you need to do right away. But the sooner, the better.”“I don’t know if it’s necessary.”I wanted to insist that it was. The thought of her living with th
