All Chapters of Bound by His Mark, Freed by His Betrayal: Chapter 191 - Chapter 198

Elena’s POVHorace and I walked side by side towards the new hospital lobby that shimmered like frozen stars. The cameras around us flashed viciously the moment they set eyes upon us, followed by questions and praises for us. My hand tightened a little bit more on his arm, as if letting go might make him disappear from my sight. He obviously had no opposition to it and was always ready whenever I pulled tighter.At one point, we stood shaking hands and replying to the greetings of dignitaries who came up to us.My bump was already showing itself a bit, so congratulatory messages flew all around us from people who seemed genuinely happy.As we walked into the hall, I was immediately left amazed. The decorations outside the lobby were nothing compared to what was inside.After all the greetings were done, the performing host introduced us to everyone, which was quickly met with bows and more greetings before Horace was finally called to the stage. He began talking, introducing the ne

Vivienne’s POVI walked beside her slowly as we made our way to the guest living room, where the police officers were already waiting.I could feel the tension in the air, which made my heart flutter more.She looked pale and swollen with stress, and one could easily tell that she had probably spent all night thinking about the whole case.I touched her shoulder gently in a comforting manner. “Don’t worry, I’m here for you. You don’t have to let it get to you, okay. Think about the baby, about your son, Ethan. Everything will be fine. It’s not like the alpha will sit back and let them go crazy.”She sighed, giving me a weak, grateful smile.“It’s not even any of that I’m worried about.”“So what is it?”“I just can’t seem to wrap my head around it. There is something deeper at play here, I know it, but I can’t seem to pinpoint it down to what or who it could be.”Hmmm. At that moment, I wondered if my name had crossed her mind. Then I realized I really had been so stupid with my earl

Horace’s POVI stood by the main door, watching as the guards escorted the police towards their car before making my way back up to the bedroom.When I got in, I saw her looking spaced out on the bed, and I was so pissed to see her like that. I just wanted to find the bastard who was behind everything and teach them a lesson myself.You could mess with me in any way and even get away with it because I wouldn’t care, but coming after my family, my pregnant wife, was the absolute height of madness. And no one got away with that height of madness from me.“Elena.”She turned, got up, and ran into my arms immediately.“Hey, hey, I’m right here, okay. You’re fine. Nothing is going to happen to you, you’re fine with me.”“Oh, Horace, I should’ve listened to you. I shouldn’t have done that silly interview; it only ended up messing with me more.”After a while of locking her in my arms, I pulled back a little, cupping her face in my hands.“Hey, look at me, no regrets, okay. You did what you

Horace’s POVI opened my eyes quickly, turning to the body beside me.I was met with silence, but not the peaceful kind. It was wrong, eerie in fact. My heart thudded as I ran my eyes over her body. Her skin looked washed off its normal color, lips faint, and lashes trembling as if even sleep was too unbearable for her. “Elena,” I murmured beside her ear. “Baby?”Her lashes fluttered open, and then she lurched.I jumped out of bed in an instant, catching her hair as she leaned over the edge, body heaving violently.But there was barely anything to come up. She sagged once it passed, trembling.She looked so weak, and the sight made my heart twist painfully.“I’ve got you,” I said, patting her back gently.“I’ve got you, baby,” I repeated.“I’m fine.” She mumbled.But she wasn’t.My wolf purred under my skin, uneasy and growling low.“'Cause you’re not going to work today.” I said.She tried to set up, preparing to argue.“I’ve got rounds, Horace. I’ve been missing too much. I just
