The Alpha's Enemy Bride

Aidora's POV“For how long are you going to lay there?” The question was accompanied by a sick kick to the stomach and I hunched over as the pain spread through my stomach. I didn't get a chance to get accustomed to the roaring pain before my hair was grabbed and I was dragged across the floor. My eyes fluttered close and I braced myself for the pain that was burning through my skin. I couldn't heal fast and I couldn't endure pain like the others. My wolf was weak, way too weak, and everyone took advantage of it. It seemed like a curse from the Moon Goddess, like she too was punishing me for the crimes levied against my parents.As they dragged me across the floor mercilessly, my wolf shrunk even further into my mind.To them, they were doing the pack a favour by ensuring the daughter of traitors endured pain every waking moment.A rancid smell hit my nose, and my eyes instantly snapped open.

Aidora I woke up, clutching my chest. I'd lost my fight with consciousness the second I was put in the recovery room, but a dream about my parents brought me back.My hand was still clutching my chest, like it was going to soften the ache I felt.Still drowning in pain when the door suddenly pulled open and Hadrian walked in. He took up space the second he was in the room.With just both of us in that tiny space, my wolf grew restless, aching to touch him. His hands were balled tightly beside him, an indicator that his wolf was probably restless as well.For minutes, we both said nothing, just staring at each other, then he cleared his throat.“What do you know about an Akatalytos bond?” I swallowed, wetting my dry throat. My father mentioned it in passing, there had been one case of an Akatalytos bond in the pack.“The bond ties two lives together.” I whispered.“Is that all?”“It cannot be broken.”His face darkened. That was clearly not the answer he was expecting, but that was a
