All Chapters of Bound by His Mark, Freed by His Betrayal: Chapter 201 - Chapter 210

Elena’s POVAs the music drifted easily through the air, I couldn’t stop myself from smiling widely.I watched as the people dressed in colorful, traditional attire dance around happily in a celebration for me.These people… these people are here to celebrate me. To celebrate my life and thank the moon goddess on my behalf for bestowing me with divine healing.And I say divine because just as the illness had come unexplainably, so did the healing. It basically came from nowhere, and I couldn’t put any explanation to it, but I was so grateful regardless.I turned my gaze back to the man beside me, who held onto me in a somewhat possessive, but appreciated manner, reminding me that I had a protector beside me all the time who would go through anything to see me safe and sound.He squeezed my hand gently, pulling me out of my thoughts.I turned to him, sending my hand to his chest in a playful manner.“You knew all this while that they were planning something like this?”He grinned. “Of

Elena’s POVI stood at the sink in my office bathroom, washing my hands in preparation for the day ahead.My eyes flicked to my stomach instinctively, and I let out a small smile.I reached for the hand towel, dried my hands before turning back to my desk, my mind still lingering on my stomach. When I walked back to my desk, I settled my hand gently on my stomach, my smile widening as I thought of the life growing inside me day by day. I couldn’t be more grateful to the moon goddess for pulling me out of whatever it was that had seemed to be after my life.“Thank you,” I whispered into the air.Still, not everything had returned to peace.I turned my gaze towards the window where the blinds were partially drawn. Beyond them, I could still see the movements of uniform officers, questioning and searching amongst the staff.The false accusations about hospital funds hadn’t disappeared overnight simply because I had recovered. If anything, the pressure had only worsened. And although th

Horace’s POV.For the first time in weeks, everything around me felt lighter.Even the sound of news being broadcast on the television didn’t annoy me as much as it had done a few weeks earlier, when everything in my life seemed grey. When my wife seemed to be hanging by a thread and I began to question the worst of everything around me.All that had been pushed behind us, and although we still had some things to deal with in regards to the diverted funds investigation, I knew that it would eventually be handled because my wife was innocent. I settled into my chair, signing off on budget and approvals with steady hands.Life was already better, but the surprise party the elders had thrown for her lifted her mood to new heights. Contrary to what she was thinking about being hated by the whole pack, it showed her that the people who still cared and believed in her.Although I tried to get her to still take a few days off, she had gone back to work. I decided not to push her too much

Horace’s POVMy car was basically at full speed as I rushed to the one place I had in mind. As soon as I got there, I stopped right outside the spot, got out, and made my way slowly into the woods.It looked exactly as I remembered it. Quiet and carrying an air of secrecy and privacy.My heart began to pound against my chest as I hoped my suspicions would turn out right.As I went deeper into the forest, it didn't take long before I set my eyes on her.She didn’t see me at first as her eyes were off to the other side, so I just stood there, taking a deep breath, happy that I had finally seen her.She was seated on a large stone near the edge of the forest overlooking nothing in particular. Her shoulder rose and fell slowly, and I could hear the quiet sobs breaking the silence of the forest.The sight of her like that broke something in me.I walked further, eager to finally lay my hands on her. As I got closer to her, that was when she finally perceived a presence.She turned towards

Vivienne’s POVAs I thought about how I hadn’t really been spending enough time with my nephew, as I had been too preoccupied trying to protect this place on the throne, I decided to start that night.It wasn’t just about securing his place; I also needed him to feel the love—his mother’s love through me, so I picked up some of my extra pillows and made my way towards his room. I needed to create that bonding with him so he could know he had someone outside the palace in case anything ever came up.I dismissed the attendants, deciding to handle whatever was needed myself.“What are you doing here, Aunty?” His tiny voice spoke out to me as soon as he saw me standing in the middle of his room.I smiled. “Ethan, Aunty will be sleeping here tonight. You and I, we are going to be creating some bonding experiences. We can play games or watch whatever you want on TV. Is that alright with you?”He stared at me as if I were speaking another language. “I thought I was supposed to spend the nig
