All Chapters of Bound by His Mark, Freed by His Betrayal: Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

Michael’s POVI paced back and forth in the room, finger on my chin.“What do you mean they went for the royal hunt together? Isn't that only for Lunas and Alphas?” I asked the disheveled-looking Monica, who had basically run through the properties in her house in sheer frustration.She was now seated on the floor in the middle of her room, looking as frustrated as I was.“You heard me right, Michael. They played us, all of us. They made everyone believe they are over, when the reality is quite far from that.” She paused, chuckling dryly.“I should have known something was up. He kept reaching out to Logan, but I thought it was still for the case of the fake doctors. Instead, he was preparing to show her off at the royal hunt.” She talked aimlessly without giving a proper reply to my question.“Answer my question, isn’t it only Luna’s accepted there alongside their Alphas?”“Exceptions are put in place. Especially for someone like him, who everyone is aware of his situation with Elain

Ashanti’s POVI smiled, walking around her.“Hmm. The words leaving your mouth seem a bit too enthusiastic, if you ask me.”Her shoulders stiffened. “What the hell does that mean, Ashanti?”I paused. “It means I can tell the truth. Your feelings are plastered all over your face.”She clicked her tongue, turning to me.“Stop saying nonsense, Ashanti.”She said this, but her face said something else. That I was right, she wanted Alpha Horace.Perhaps she didn’t want me to know because she was scared of me adding it to my blackmail list against her. The same list that helped me get a roof over her as I was trying to hide from the police.The incident back at the hunting grounds was being reported everywhere, so with my name on every news outlet, it was difficult to even get a decent place of rest.I had to even confiscate my phone and other gadgets just so they wouldn’t be able to trace my location. I became a living destitute with no direction to take until my mind went to the disgustin

Michaela’s POV“Hello, master,” I said, bowing slightly as my hands shook. He remained seated, puffing the smoke on his cigar.“Hello, Michael. This one you’re here uninvited, it better be good news.”“Sir, it’s actually a long story.” I stammered.He sighed. “And one I suppose will piss me off too, right? Because that’s all you do. Piss me off.”I swallowed because he was right, and I wasn’t sure how well that sat with me.“It’s—it’s something I have to say.”“Then go on with it already.”I swallowed another emptiness down my throat. This time dryer and more urgent.“Elena—.”“Yeah, what about the one simple job I gave you?”“Elena…knows. She knows everything.”As the words left my mouth, the room fell silent immediately. Even our breathing seemed to seize, and he finally pulled his cigar out of his mouth, tossing the bud onto the ashtray.He whipped his head straight to me in great urgency. “What did you just say?”I looked away, afraid to meet his gaze.“I went to the White House t

Elena’s POVI sat in the gigantic office Horace had me upgraded to, looking around it and thinking about how well my life had changed.“I guess there are many perks to being familiar with the Alpha,” I murmured, a joke to myself.Life had been so good to me in recent times, and Horace, being the man that he was, was a big part of that, if not the only part.And although he was already almost perfect before, since we got back from the trip to the haunting grounds, he had managed to outdo himself again.Going all out with everything that involved me.So of course, as I sat in the office that morning, I couldn't help the smile that stretched widely across my face.Just then, a knock sounded on my door, and when I said, 'Come in,' one of the nurses came in, holding a letter in her hand.“Good morning, Miss Elena. Someone drop this letter for you.”I squinted my brows.“A letter? What someone?”“Uhm, it was a delivery guy and he just dropped it off and left.”I stared at the letter in her

Elena’s POV“Elena, I can explain.”Horace called out again but was caught short by Monica’s voice.“What is there to explain, Horace. Tell her the truth. It’s high time she hears it.”She turned to me fully. “You don’t have a place here, Elena. I lent him to you once, but now I want to take him back.” She said with so much certainty that I couldn’t help the smirk that tugged at the corners of my lips.“Are you crazy? Are you out of your mind?” Horace snapped at her.But this didn’t even seem to bother her. It was as if she were in too much of a deep slumber to realize what she was doing. Or maybe she did know what she was doing; she had just been convinced beyond a reasonable doubt that whatever plan she came in here for would turn out successful.So it was time for me to stop pretending. All that staggering backwards and gasping shenninagans at the sight before me was enough because I certainly wasn't surprised by what I had seen.In fact, I had set most of it up as a final trap on
