Semua Bab Bound by Blood: The Alpha's Forbidden Mate : Bab 21 - Bab 30

Chapter 21 : The Price of PowerMarco’s POVThe Outskirts of Silver Claw Pack. The leather folder was heavier than it looked. I guess that describes the weight of betrayal, because it's not just about lies and deception, it's filled with ruined legacy, and blood.“Frances would definitely sign, because I know how much she loves and trusts me. She’s weak. She has always been weak. And as the spoiled daughter of Mr Rossi, she's too soft, loyal and too stupid to see she’s nothing but a puppet.”All I need to do is whisper lies in her ears, when I'm between her legs.”Lucian’s amber eyes watched me like a wolf studying prey. “Are you sure this would work?”Deniro’s fingers twitched beside his untouched scotch without saying a word. Weak men always trembled when history changed in front of them. I'm sure he's just here for his money.“We will meet the Garcia Elders in four days,” I said, my voice interrupting the silence. “We will meet here at Silver Claw. No cameras, no press, nothi

Chapter 23 – Chaos between allies Marco’s POVI stood behind Frances's desk, pr should I say my father in law’s desk. Glaring at the blood red Rossi crest carved into the wood. I really can't believe Frances runs this company now. And the most annoying part is the workers and even the clients adored her. And to top it off, the investors praised her brilliance.I was just her husband. The forgotten name on the press releases.This doesn't look like it would be easy but nevertheless, I must get her to sign those documents no matter what. The office reeked of her.Rosewood and cinnamon.She had just left for another board meeting, dressed like a queen. With her back straight and a sharp voice, the entire company followed behind her scent like obedient pups.And I, Marco Rossi, was the ghost in her damn shadow.I stood in her office, pacing, waiting for her like a steward waiting for his master's orders. My wolf prowled beneath my skin, restless, hungry, cornered.This wasn’t how it wa

Chapter 25 - Enemy as allies.Alejandro's POV"I have an idea. One that could save everything."Crystal's voice echoed through the silence. She stood at the center of the living room, moonlight streaking across her face. Her eyes held fire, but not the kind that burned to destroy, the kind that spoke positively. "This could help us save our pack, the company, and finally vindicate us and clear our names. But we have to move fast."I stood up slowly from the chair I had been sinking into for hours. "Talk to me."She stepped forward, gripping the edge of the table, her face very serious. "Someone needs to go to Gabrielle. That person will pretend to be the cleaner Marco hired. He will make her believe she's about to die and scare her into releasing the webcam footage. When we have enough proof, then we tell her the truth about Marco, about the hit, about how she’s just another pawn in his game."My jaw clenched. My wolf growled low, applauding her wisdom. "Hmmm…That's smart. I could n

Chapter 27 : Blood SecretsNana's POVI stood outside Alpha Rossi's study, my heart pounding like a war drum.The villa was quiet, moonlight casting shadows through the corridor. I clenched my fists, my palms slick with sweat. My bones ached with memories. Painful memories that bring me to my knees wailing, whenever I remember them.But tonight, I will not be silent.Not anymore.I pushed the door open.Alpha Rossi looked up from behind his mahogany desk, eyes cold, silver gleaming in the low light."What do you want?" he asked.I stepped in and shut the door behind me."You wicked bastard."He tilted his head, amused. "You’re shaking, old woman. Is that fear or rage?""Gabrielle is my daughter."Silence."And yours."The look of dread on his face was satisfying. His glass of whiskey stopped halfway to his mouth. "You have lost your damn mind."I walked closer, boldly with an angry face. "She has the birthmark. The crescent birthmark, just above her waist, is the same as mine."He sto

Chapter 29 : The Truth ALEJANDRO’S POVThe air was thick with silence as I stood in the bedroom where I was treated, my heart was pounding because I couldn't believe all I heard from Gabrielle the night I saved her, and killed the cleaner. My mother came in with trembling hands as she placed her hands in mine. Her eyes were red and heavy, and this gave me a reason to be concerned.“Are you alright mama?” I asked.“My dear child. You have suffered so much because of your father. You need to hear everything,” she said softly.I followed her and we both sat down on the bed, she turned to face me, her lips parting slowly.“Gabrielle just confessed. You were never intimate with Gabrielle,” she began.I froze.I was grateful to hear that and very relieved. But then reality hit me, Gabrielle tricked me into marriage, by saying I got her pregnant. Knowing very well it is an abomination to raise a child from the alpha bloodline out of wedlock. So the baby was never mine to begin with. Whose
