Lahat ng Kabanata ng Bound by His Mark, Freed by His Betrayal: Kabanata 281 - Kabanata 290

Horace’s POV“So what are you saying, Alpha?” I asked, my jaw tightened.“All I’m saying is that we should put your daughter’s gift to good use.”“And what is your definition of good news? We already told you there’s nothing super special about what she’s doing. She’s just a child. And they are bound to be very imaginative,” I replied.“Bound to be imaginative? That I do not disagree on. But come on, Alpha, even you must accept that this is more than just a child’s imagination. This is precision,” he spat, pointing to the drawing.“Okay, this is reality. A historical reality. One that happened so long ago, we could have been just kids ourselves.”I swallowed, saying nothing.Just then, his healer joined us. “Alpha, Luna, you may not want to believe or accept it. Although I do not think there’s any reason for that. If your daughter has a gift, it is nothing to be ashamed of.”“We never said we were ashamed of anything,” Elena’s voice caught in sharply, and I could tell that her temper

Horace’s POVA few days passed with no more talk of gifted children and cultural exchange, and it left me satisfied. At least, that has been dealt with. For now.At least that was what I thought until a maid came to our room and announced the presence of a visitor.Kane. I didn’t go to work that day. Elena and I were just in the room, still going over some things regarding the matter, when the knock came in, and the maid made the announcement. “What do you think he wants?” Elena asked, I say put myself into proper clothing.I let out a sigh. “Although I don’t know what it is, I think we both have an idea what it could be about.”“He still doesn’t want to drop it. Why is he so obsessed with this?”I sighed again. “Knowing Kane, I am not surprised. I had remembered that he tried for years to think of ways to conquer our pack, but couldn’t. Perhaps, he somehow got a whiff of this early and decided it was a chance to at least have a relationship.”“So because he can’t conquer, he want

Horace’s POVAnother day, another meeting. And as I sat at the head of the table, watching all of them murmur amongst each other, I couldn’t wait to be done with it.“Why have you called this meeting today?” I asked, straight to the point.The chief elder cleared his throat, rising to his feet. “We have called this meeting regarding the trending matter that has been going around the pack in recent days.”I squinted my brows. “Trending matter?”“Yes.”“And what exactly would that be?” I asked, voice cold and unwelcoming. I did this intentionally to let them know I was not in the mood to tolerate any nonsense because I already knew what the trending matter was all about.And it worked. The whisper doubled in the crowd. Perhaps, they were trying to confirm if they were making the right decision by bringing the matter to me again.“Alpha, forgive me, but I think you already know what this matter is,” the chief replied.“And trust me if I did, I wouldn’t be asking you.”He swallowed. “ Alp

Horace’s POV I was halfway through some reports when I heard the loud alarm going off.I paused, and the alarms in my head started going off immediately.I jumped up, rushing out of my home office. It didn’t surprise me to see my head of security also rushing towards me.“What is going on out there?” I asked quickly.“Alpha, there has been a breach of security,” he replied swiftly.“What do you mean?”“There are strangers in the White House?”My heart sank. “Strangers?”He nodded, opened his mouth, and was about to say something else when I heard a loud scream from upstairs. We both paused and quickly flicked our heads towards it.It was my daughter’s room.Upon this realization, I didn’t even wait for anything else.“Disperse the man around the property,” I instructed him, dashing up the stairs.I didn’t even know what he did next because all I had on my mind was my little girl.By the time I got to her room, I saw that Elena and my son were already with her. The history of them h

Horace’s POVI knew they were desperate, but I didn’t know just how far they were willing to be able to show it, so when they finally did, it left me feeling shocked.Fighting to get my daughter in public was one thing, but sending someone to break into her room for whatever reason was a completely different, diabolical thing to do.But of course, they left no evidence behind, so there was no way to accuse them without causing trouble for ourselves. He knew this. He knew what accusing him blindly would cause us, so he knew we wouldn’t even do it. However, what he didn’t know was how far I was going to protect my family.Even if it’s meant to pretend to hold my enemies' hands.Thankfully, Elaine had begun to come out of her shell, and it lifted my spirit a little because seeing my little girl in a state where she couldn’t even talk was completely devastating.This was another reason why I had to do all I could to get the unwelcomed ones out of our land as soon as possible. Clearly, le
