All Chapters of Bitten, Branded And Bare: Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

Bryan's POV I was dead asleep when someone shook my shoulder hard. I groaned, pulling the pillow over my head. Whoever dared disturb me at this hour clearly had a death wish. “Bryan,” a deep voice said firmly. “Wake up.” I cracked one eye open and glared. “Beta Henry, for the love of the moon, it’s too early for this.” He stood by my bed, arms folded, brows arched like a lecturing elder. His expression screamed no-nonsense, but I still wasn’t impressed. I rolled over, dragging the blanket with me. “What time is it?” I muttered, my voice raspy with sleep. “It’s time you were already awake. The council elders are waiting downstairs,” he replied curtly. That made me crack both eyes open. “Council elders? Right now? You have got to be kidding me.” “I don’t joke,” he said flatly. “Alpha Baron said if you’re not down in five minutes, you’ll be dragged by your neck. And y

Lisa's POV I adjusted the hem of my dress for what felt like the hundredth time as I walked along the long hall with Kael. The entire estate was bustling with people getting the final touches done for the annual pack celebration. Servants ran about, decorators hung the last of the drapes, and the kitchen was full of frantic movement. It looked perfect to me already, but Kael wasn’t satisfied until every last detail was locked into place. “Check the list again,” he said, his eyes sharp as ever as he flipped through the papers in his hand. “I’ve checked it three times already,” I muttered, brushing hair from my face. “The lighting is done, the tables are set, the decorations are in place, the musicians confirmed their arrival. Everything is in order.” He hummed, unconvinced. That was Kael for you—perfectionist to the bone. I rolled my eyes slightly but didn’t let him catch it. We walked out into the open courty

Lisa's POVI jolted awake to the shrill sound of the alarm, its piercing ring slicing through the quiet of my small room. My hand fumbled across the wooden nightstand until I found the clock, shutting it off with a groggy sigh. The morning had arrived too soon, and my bones ached with the exhaustion of yesterday’s endless chores. But today wasn’t just any day—it was the day the celebration truly began, and I knew every servant in the estate would be expected to move faster, work harder, and appear more flawless than ever before.I pushed myself upright, rubbing my eyes before swinging my legs over the edge of the bed. The wooden floor was cold beneath my feet, sending a shiver up my spine. No time to linger. I needed to move. With practiced swiftness, I pulled on a fresh set of clothes, washed my face, and tied my hair back into a neat braid. By the time I looked into the mirror, I already looked like a maid ready to serve, though there was still that tired shadow

Lisa's POVI stood before the mirror, smoothing down the uniform Calla had given me. The fabric clung neatly against my body, plain yet clean. For a moment, I just stared at my reflection, tilting my head slightly to the side. My brown eyes were tired from the lack of sleep, but I forced them to glisten. My lips tugged upward until a bright smile broke across my face.“You’ll be fine,” I whispered to myself. “Just smile. Just… keep smiling.”The sound of the horn blowing outside shook me out of my thoughts. My heart skipped. That was the signal. Guests were arriving. I pressed my hands over my uniform, inhaled deeply, and rushed out of the maid’s quarter.The courtyard buzzed with life. The strong scent of freshly cut grass mixed with the faint aroma of roasted meat coming from the kitchen halls. The other maids moved swiftly, arranging themselves. I joined them, my practiced smile in place.“Remember, Lisa,” Calla’s voice whispered as I

Alpha Enzo's POVI was in the study, sitting behind the large oak desk with Ash leaning casually against one of the shelves, thumbing through a thick book as if he wasn’t even paying attention. He always did that when he wanted me to think he was relaxed. But I knew him well enough—Ash never relaxed, not completely. His ears twitched at every sound, his eyes flickered across the room every now and then. He noticed more than most.I rubbed my temples, the faintest throbbing in my head from hours of pouring over reports. The packs had been restless lately, too many tensions boiling under the surface, too many fragile egos clashing. I was already irritated when the sudden voice of Kael crashed into my mind through the link.“Enzo! It’s Lisa—she’s been attacked. Irene and some other Lunas. They ganged up on her in the hall, accusations flying, and one of them smashed a bottle over her head.”My whole body went still. For a second I wasn’t even breathi
