All Chapters of Bound to The Enemy of My Mate : Chapter 101 - Chapter 107

The silence shattered as the main doors burst open. Royal Guards flooded into the hall, but these were not the ceremonial sentries from outside. These were the King's Hunters, clad in reinforced leather, their faces set in grim masks. They moved with terrible, practiced efficiency, and in their hands were not standard spears, but cruel-looking manacles and chains, all forged from the same cursed silver as the necklace.Elira was still reeling, her body caught between human form and wolfish instinct, the broken necklace a fading brand on her throat. She had no time to react before the first weighted net, woven with fine silver thread, was thrown over her. The moment it touched her skin, a fresh wave of agony ripped through her. It was a thousand times worse than the necklace - a smothering, all-encompassing burn that stole her breath.

The morning after the banquet, the palace was no longer a place of celebration. It was a nest of buzzing, outraged hornets. The news did not simply spread; it exploded, flying from noble to servant, from guard to merchant, until it seemed the very stones of the city whispered it.“A werewolf! She lived among us!”“The Duchess is a monster!”“She deceived the Wolf Hunter himself!Shared his bed! What dark magic did she use?”In the grand houses of the nobles, the reaction was not just fear, but a deep, insulted fury. They felt personally betrayed. That a creature they had been forced to toast, a woman from a traitorous bloodline they had reluctantl

The first light of dawn was staining the sky a pale gray when Kael was finally led down into the dungeon. The King's signed order, still damp from the royal seal, felt like a death warrant in his hand rather than a pardon. Each step downward into the bowels of the palace felt like descending into a grave. The stones wept with moisture, and the air grew thick with the stench of rust, stagnant water, and human misery. The guard, a young man whose face Kael recognized from the training yards, could not meet his eyes as he unlocked the heavy iron door and stepped back, granting him entry.The sight in the cell stole the air from his lungs and the strength from his legs.Elira was curled on the bare, damp stone floor, a small, broken thing in the tattered remains of her once-beautiful gown. The heavy silver ma

Inside the rolling carriage, the world was reduced to the steady rhythm of wheels on dirt and the shared warmth of two bodies. Elira lay against Thane's chest, her head tucked beneath his chin. For a long time, there was only the gentle, rocking silence and the slow, steady beat of his heart under her ear.Then, a change. A warmth that was not from the sun-warmed wood of the carriage began to spread through her. It started where their bodies touched—his hand on her back, her cheek against his chest—and seeped deep into her bones, chasing out a cold she hadn't even realized had taken root in her marrow. It was the mate bond, a silent, persistent current of life flowing from him into her. The last of the silver's poison, a hollow, aching emptiness in her very core, began to stir, slowly filling with a low, humming energy that felt like coming home after a l
