Lahat ng Kabanata ng Bound by Blood, Fated to the Two Alphas : Kabanata 81 - Kabanata 90

THIRD PERSON POVSeraphina sat perched on a weathered stone bench nestled within the gardens outside the palace walls, her gaze drifting listlessly over the vibrant blooms. It had been five days since Kael's departure, yet each agonizing hour left like an eternity stretched thin, a relentless testament to her growing discontent.Actually, even living with Kael had become an exercise in endurance, as unbearable in its own way as his current absence...if not worse.He was like a ghost in her life. A couple in name alone, but a stranger in their bed, never once graced her with a genuine display of affection nor a tender touch or even the simple comfort of his presence. Her hormones, already in a state of chaotic rebellion due to the subtle shift in the moon's cycle, were now engaged in open warfare, wreaking havoc on her emotions and pushing her close to the brink of madness.A heavy sigh, laden with frustration and a deep seated sense of loneliness, escaped her lips as she absently tra

THIRD PERSON POVSeraphina whirled around, her eyes widening as she saw Ryker standing beside a book shelf. He was dressed in a dress pant and button up shirt with the sleeves rolled at each hand, his muscular physique accentuated by the tight-fitting clothes."Uh...hi," she stuttered, avoiding eye contact. The room seemed to shrink, the air thickening with an unspoken tension. Despite the fact that the air was cold, Seraphina felt hot.He walked closer and stretched out his hand, his eyes never leaving hers. She hestiated for a moment, then placed her hand in his. His touch sent a jolt of electricity through her, making her skin prickle. Ryker chuckled softly as he noticed the effect his touch had on her. Without saying a word, he led her towards his office desk where she sat down on a plush velvet chair opposite the massive imposing seat behind it. He causally leaned against the edge of the desk, close enough that she could feel the warmth radiating from his body."So...you came," he

THIRD PERSON POVThe inside of the abanonded cabin smelt like dirt and old leaves. Ryker pulled his threadbare cloak tighter, trying to block out the damp chill. It had been days since he'd busted out of Kael's dungeon with the help of Seraphina. She had risked everything to get him free.He was grateful, sure, and shocked at the length she would go for him. But what was most important to him was the burning need to make Kael pay.Seraphina was already inside the room, pacing around like a caged animal. Waiting for Ryker's return.As soon as the door creaked open, she rushed out. A sigh of relief escaped her lungs as Ryker walked in, a smug look on his face."I was worried sick!" She snapped. "How could you walk freely when you know we are being wanted?!"Ryker simply shrugged and walked towards her. "I'm fine," he said, his expression now hardening. "You don't have to worry about me. You should worry about our plan instead.""Our plan?" She scowled at him, her eyes following him as h

ELARA'S POVWhen I woke up, the throbbing in my head was the first sensation I felt. It was like a dull, persistent ache that echoed the fear pounding in my chest. The air was thick, heavy with the smell of something foreign, but slightly unpleasant...perhaps something acrid or metallic? whatever it was, it made my stomach churn.I tried to sit up, but a sharp tug at my ankles stopped. My eyes widended as panic flared. I looked down. Chains.Heavy, iron chains were shackled to my legs, binding me to the rough mattress that I laid on.My heart hammered against my ribs. This wasn't a nightmare. This was real. I was actually kidnapped and fell into a trap.I forced myself to take a slow, steady breath, trying to calm the rising tide of panic. I needed to think, to assess the situation.Where was I? Who had taken me? And most importantly....A gasp escaped my lips as I placed a trembling hand on my stomach, my fingers gently rubbing my slightly swollen stomach.My baby....A wave of icy

ELARA'S POVThe slam of the cell door still echoed in my ears. The cold stone walls of the cell felt like hell against my skin, my clothes weren't doing much in aiding to cover my body.A prisoner in Darius's personal hell.The thought and reality of this sent a shiver of rage and grief through me. I dropped to my knees, the rough stone biting into my flesh, I gazed up to look at the small window that was way above, making it impossible for anyone to escape, it was even too small for someone to crawl through. "Moon Goddess," I whispered, my voice hoarse from screaming and begging. "Grant me strength to survive this and protect my child. Also guide Kael and Ronan. Please, protect everyone from this monster."A tear slid down my cheeks as I finished praying. Could hope really be lost? I tried so hard to escape Darius, and now that he finally caught me I can't even heal his daughter.If Celetse isn't healed once and for all, Darius would do more than just capture every blood healer that
