All Chapters of Bound by Blood: The Alpha's Forbidden Mate : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Chapter 32 – GiovanniLucian’s POVThe fire burned in front of me, low and too calm for the storm brewing in my head."Marco again?" My brother's voice cut through the quiet, calm as ever. He lounged on the armrest like he owned the room.I rolled my neck, muscles tight from handling too many responsibilities. “He’s panicking because Gabrielle is alive.”He whistled low. “Wasn’t she the one who's married to his brother in law, yet having an affair with him?”I didn’t answer.I didn't need to.Instead, I reached for the glass of whiskey at my side and downed it in one slow burn.He shrugged. “So what's your angle again? I know you didn’t get involved just to babysit your friend’s mistakes. I don't like Marco, his motives are pure evil and if you would listen to me, please stay away from people like that.”My jaw tightened.“The Rossi company, bro.” I said. “Once this mess is cleaned up, it’s mine. I already have this playing out well. If not for every clumsy mistake Marco keeps making,

Chapter 34 – The Man Who Never ForgotCrystal’s POVThe hallway was too quiet.Alejandro’s scent lingered in the air, and I was so tense when Alejandro called the man who came in Giovanni. Is he the same Giovanni that saved my mom?Is he the same man who took care of my mother and I while she was pregnant?The same man who was in the car with my mother when the car crashed?My mother’s first and possibly only love?My head kept getting hot because of all the theories I was making in my head concerning this strange man.Why is Alejandro taking so much time with him, I kept thinking about, pacing worriedly.I froze the moment Alejandro stepped into view. His eyes locked on mine. I couldn’t make anything out of it, because the look in his eyes was unreadable, intense.“Crystal,” he said, in a low and hoarse voice, almost like he had just finished crying. “There’s someone here to see you.”I blinked. “Who?”His jaw tensed, and his Adam’s apple bobbed as he spoke. “Come.”He said.Just on

Chapter 36 – A baby worth saving Gabrielle’s POV That morning, I knew something was off. Nana went to help Mrs Rossi a day before and told me she wouldn't be coming back home, but she made sure I was fine, and I had everything I needed to make me comfortable. I slept off early and was awakened by the sound of cars coming into my condo. I was scared and I quickly put on better clothes because, if the security at my gate had allowed them in, then I know for sure that's the devil. The way the guards shuffled in and the way Rossi’s jaw tensed when he entered and didn't see me at first, got me scared. But I couldn’t keep quiet anymore, because of how uncomfortable pregnancy is, and I was caught. Then he grabbed me by the arm, shoved a gag into my mouth and tied my wrists so tight I thought my bones would snap.“You’re almost due for childbirth. And we can't let that happen, because we both know that child is Alejandro’s," he muttered under his breath. “This ends today.”I screamed for

Chapter 38 – The Road to Freedom Gabrielle’s POV We were barely a mile into the forest when the lights hit us.Headlights from another car.Giovanni cursed and killed the engine, turning sharply into the edge of the forest road. His jaw clenched as the lights grew brighter in the rearview mirror.“Shit. Patrol car.”I looked up from where I lay in the backseat, covered in a worn brown blanket and empty supply bags. My body screamed from exhaustion, my ankles were swollen, my lips chapped, and my stomach twisted with hunger and nausea.“They’re going to stop us.” Giovanni reached behind, covering me properly. “Whatever you hear, just don’t move. Don’t make a sound. You hear me?”I nodded. My chest was tight, and my breath shallow. I peeped a little bit through the tinted glasses and I saw the patrol SUV drive slowly towards us, then stop.I hid immediately, so I wouldn't get caught, but I heard the doors on both sides of the car open, which means it wasn't just one person. “The Car

Chapter 40 – A night that never happened Alpha Rossi’s POV I stopped at the entrance of my villa, the guards straightened instantly. My eyes narrowed on the soldier closest to my car.“You,” I barked. “Anything unusual while we were gone?”He stiffened. “No, Alpha. There was no movement at the gate, and no calls came in either.”“Good.” I signalled for him to come closer, lowering my voice to almost a whisper. “Did my Luna ask for me?”He hesitated and I became uncomfortable.My eyes darkened. “Did she?”“She… she asked once, Alpha. She said she had a strange feeling, but a servant distracted her by letting her know her tea was ready and she went to bed shortly after.”The sleeping drug. It must’ve worked.Still, something crawled under my skin.I don’t like whenever she starts having “feelings.” Whenever she starts saying this, she starts to dig into secrets that are way beyond her. It makes her suspect everything I do and I am not ready to go through the torture of hiding anything
