All Chapters of Bitten, Branded And Bare: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Lisa's POVI was curled up on my bed, one leg tucked under me, absentmindedly running my fingers along the seams of my pillow when a knock came at my door.Before I could answer, Calla popped her head in, grinning like she’d just won a lottery.“Guess what I brought,” she said in that singsong tone she used whenever she wanted to bribe me into doing something.I sat up. “If it’s anything green and pretending to be healthy, take it back.”She stepped inside, holding up a tray with chips and a bottle of juice. “Do I look like I’m trying to torture you? It’s the salted kind you like.”I reached over quickly, grabbing the chips before she could change her mind. “Now that’s what I’m talking about. You may enter.”She laughed, closing the door behind her and settling onto the chair by my desk. I popped a chip into my mouth, savoring the salty crunch, but the way she kept shifting in her seat didn’t escape me.I narrowed my

Alpha Enzo's POVThe morning sunlight poured through the tall windows of my study, casting a warm glow across the polished mahogany desk. I stood before the mirror, adjusting the dark blue tie that matched the deep hue of my suit. Today wasn’t just another day of pack affairs — it was the day of the pack alliances meeting, a gathering that demanded formality, diplomacy, and unwavering focus."Your schedule is tight, Alpha," Beta Ash said, standing just behind me with a folder in his hands. His steady voice carried that familiar calm that had always kept me grounded before important events.I glanced at him in the mirror. "Remind me again, Ash, who’s confirmed attendance?""Alphas Knox, Rowland, and Whitaker are already on their way. The Crescent Moon pack sent word that Alpha Turner will be arriving shortly after we start. And…" He flipped through the folder. "…there’s been no update from Alpha Hughes yet."I exhaled slowly, straightening

Alpha Rowland's POVI had been pacing for the past ten minutes, but it felt like ten hours. My boots thudded against the wooden floor in a rhythm I couldn’t stop. Every step was a coil of frustration winding tighter in my chest. I didn’t care that my pacing had worn a faint path in the floor. My mind was on one thing only—my daughter, Irene.The moment I’d heard she was in Enzo’s pack, my blood had run hot. My pack members knew I could be patient in politics, but when it came to my family, patience was not in my nature. Irene was my only child. I’d done everything to keep her out of dangerous situations, and yet here I was, unable to understand why she was in enemy territory.I pulled my phone out and called my beta. My voice was sharp, leaving no room for excuses.“Get outside. Now.”I didn’t wait for a reply before ending the call.My hands clenched into fists, the tips of my nails digging into my palms. My wolf was restless be

Alpha Enzo's POVI pushed open the doors to the meeting hall, the deep murmur of voices inside pausing for a brief moment before resuming. Every eye that glanced my way seemed to question my short absence. I straightened my shoulders, not missing a step as I walked back to my seat at the head table.“My apologies for the abrupt leave,” I said, letting my voice carry across the room without raising it. “Something required my oversight for a few minutes. Let’s proceed.”Ash gave me a small nod, stepping forward. He always looked like he was born for this—steady gaze, calm tone, no wasted movements. “As I was saying,” he continued, “the rogue wolf attacks have been sporadic but coordinated enough to suggest they’re operating under a central command. We’ve identified three possible strongholds—northern ridge, east canyon, and the abandoned quarry. None of them have been confirmed yet, but we’ve seen tracks and scent trails leading toward these locations.”

Bryan's POVThe ride back to my pack felt longer than it should have. Even with the steady hum of the tires on the road and the occasional snap of branches as we cut through the forest trail, my head wouldn’t quiet. I had too much to think about, too much I wanted answers to, and not enough patience to keep my thoughts in check.By the time the familiar scent of home hit me, I was already tense. My pack’s land spread wide, the tall wooden gates opening as two guards spotted the car. They bowed deeply as we passed, and I didn’t bother acknowledging them. I wasn’t in the mood for formalities.The car rolled to a stop in front of the main house, and before I even stepped out, the front doors opened. My father—Alpha Baron—was standing there, shoulders squared, the kind of posture that reminded everyone exactly who he was. Beta Henry was right beside him, smiling like the loyal shadow he’d always been.“Bryan,” my father’s deep voice cut through the cr
