CHAPTER 13 — “Mistaken Bonds”

last update Last Updated: 2025-05-09 01:54:26

Eva – POV

“Nothing, my King. I was just trying to tell this little human that the kitchen is on the other side,” Sonia says with a tight smile, attempting a joke.

But no one laughs.

“Did I ask you to do that, Sonia?” the King asks, his voice cold and sharp like broken glass.

“No, my King, but—”

“You are dismissed.”

“My King.” She bows stiffly and retreats to her group, her pride clearly dented.

I turn to face the King and the Beta—and it takes every ounce of control not to flinch. He’s tall, radiating strength and command. His black hair is perfectly styled, but it’s the eyes that hold me still—icy blue, flickering with something feral just beneath the surface. His wolf is close. Watching me. Judging me.

He steps forward slowly, nostrils flaring slightly as he takes in my scent.

“What is your name?” he asks, almost gently.

“Eva, Your Highness. My name is Eva.”

“And how old are you, Eva?”

“I’m seventeen,” I reply, standing straighter. “Is there a problem with my age?”

  • The executioner and the Alpha King   Chapter 302 – The Labyrinth Seeker

    Sonia’s Point of View I wake up in Crete with aching feet, a full heart, and a slightly irrational urge to kidnap a history professor. After a whole day of trudging across Santorini’s dreamy white cliffs and a night ferry ride that made Michael threaten to throw up every ten minutes, we’ve finally landed on this myth-soaked island—and I don’t care how tired everyone is. I need to see everything. They can search for Eva. I’m searching for magic. “You know,” I say over breakfast, stirring my coffee with unnecessary intensity, “if we die here, make sure they bury me near the caves.” Theo looks up from his eggs, half-asleep. “What caves?” “The caves,” I say, eyes sparkling. “The caves. You know—the ones where the ancient labyrinth was supposedly hidden? The one with the Minotaur? The one Daedalus built? That labyrinth.” Marcus grunts. “She’s broken.” “I’m serious!” I slap the table dramatically. “I don’t care if it collapses on my head. I need to see it. I didn’t come to the isla

  • The executioner and the Alpha King   Chapter 301 – Operation Beach Hunt

    Theo’s Point of View Santorini looks like it fell straight out of a dream. Whitewashed buildings stacked like sugar cubes against a backdrop of endless blue. Sunlight dances on the sea, and the air smells like wine, salt, and every reason to stop searching and just stay forever. But I’m not here for paradise. I’m here for her. And I don’t even know where here is. Parker steps off the ferry next to me, sunglasses sliding down his nose. “Okay. Not to be dramatic or anything, but if I lived here, I’d never tell anyone either.” Michael groans. “Great. So she could be anywhere with a coastline, eating olives and painting sunsets, while we’re out here playing Guess That Beach.” “Maybe it’s not about the beach,” Elias says thoughtfully. “Maybe it’s a metaphor.” Lenny perks up. “Like… the sea is actually her soul, and we have to dive deep into—” “Lenny,” Marcus deadpans, “if you say soul dive one more time, I’m pushing you into the caldera( which is a volcanic crater).”

  • The executioner and the Alpha King   Chapter 300 – The Voice in the Tide

    Eva’s Point of View The canvas dries under the sun, and I stare at it, unsure if it’s finished or not. The waves came out softer than I intended—more dream than sea—but maybe that’s okay. The cabin, tucked in the corner with its faded roof and the flowers I didn’t plant but pretend I did, looks… cozy. Safe. Like a memory I’ve never had. I bite my lip. “Artemis?” “Yes, my darling?” Her voice is far too smug today. “Does it look stupid?” “Stupid? No. Delicious? Yes. I would lick that painting if I had a tongue.” I snort and cover my mouth with paint-stained fingers. “Please don’t ever say that to anyone else.” “Why not? I told you, I once licked a statue of Apollo. Marble cheeks are surprisingly—” “Nope. Don’t finish that sentence.” “You’re no fun.” I roll my eyes, pick up the canvas, and start toward the main house. Paris is out front repairing a loose gate with Nikos when I reach them. His salt-and-pepper hair is tousled, and there’s a streak of dirt across his shirt. He

  • The executioner and the Alpha King   Chapter 299 – A Voice from the Past

    Theo’s Point of View I can’t sit still anymore. Dreams are something, not nothing. I know her soul reached for mine. Even if she didn’t recognize me… even if she said she didn’t love me… she dreamed of me. That has to count for something. Aries agrees. He hasn’t shut up in my head all morning. “We act now. While she’s still dreaming of us.” So I call them all. By midmorning, we’re gathered around the long war table in the strategy room. Not for battle. Not for politics. For her. Parker. Trixie. Michael and Lenny. Elias. Marcus. And Sonia. The air is thick with worry, but there’s something else beneath it—determination. “She’s alive,” I start. “And I think… I think she reached me last night. In a dream.” Trixie leans forward, eyes wide. “Like a real dream? Soul-to-soul kind of thing?” I nod. “She didn’t know who I was. She told me she didn’t love me. But she was there. We were on a beach. The sky was orange. Sunset, I think. She looked like herself… but different. Sof

  • The executioner and the Alpha King   Chapter 298 – If You Don’t Remember Me

    Theo’s Point of View A week has passed. Seven days of silence. No sign of her. No bond. No voice. Nothing. Just the slow suffocation of hope. Nathaniel says she’s safe. That the spell took her somewhere protected. That we shouldn’t interfere. That we should give her space. But how am I supposed to breathe in a world that doesn’t have her in it? I’m Alpha. I’m king. I’ve led armies and bled for my people. But I’ve never felt so useless. The castle feels heavier with every passing day. Every corridor echoes with her absence. I can still hear her voice in the halls, like a ghost just out of reach. She’s gone. And worse… she chose to be. I lie in bed, staring at the ceiling, the weight of the silence pressing down on my chest. I haven’t slept properly in days. The bond was quiet before, but now it’s gone completely — as if something has been severed. Not cut. Muted. “I miss you,” I whisper to the empty room. “I’m sorry. I’m sorry I didn’t protect you from me.” The moonlight

  • The executioner and the Alpha King   Chapter 297 – The Pull of the Tide

    Eva’s Point of View The pack house smells like roasted garlic, warm bread, and too many stories I haven’t heard. The laughter echoes through the stone walls and wood beams like it’s been waiting for generations to stretch its legs. I step inside and nod politely as Kristina waves me in from across the long table. Kostas is already sitting, arguing over something ridiculous with Katerina — I think it’s about whose turn it is to wash the breakfast dishes from yesterday. I sit beside Kristina, and a plate is placed in front of me without question. Grilled fish, lemon potatoes, and bright vegetables dripping in olive oil. It smells like home. Not my home. But someone’s. “Everything alright, dear?” Kristina asks quietly, as the others fall into another round of laughter. I nod once. “Yes. Thank you.” I don’t mention the painting. I don’t tell her about the man who came to life beneath my fingers. I don’t know how to explain him. Instead, I eat slowly. I listen. I smile when it fe
