Lahat ng Kabanata ng Bound by His Mark, Freed by His Betrayal: Kabanata 291 - Kabanata 300

Horace’s POV“What the hell did you just say?” I finally asked after taking my time to look at him like he was the craziest person in the world.Kane smirked. “Come on, Alpha, you don’t have to make me repeat myself. I’m very sure you heard me clearly. And I believe it will be a great way of ensuring a continued relationship between our two packs since we are now one of your daughter’s hosts. Trust me, the alliance will do great for both of us.”My jaw tightened as I heard the words fall out of his lips. How dare the bastard say something that silly to me?I heard the rumors swirling around me, and I knew my eldest. We’re already expecting trouble from me. They knew me very well and also knew that Kane had gone too far with his request.I smirked, my vision darkening all of a sudden.“Alpha, how old is my son, and how old is your daughter?”“Oh, simple. Aren’t they around the same age? Eight, of course.”“Exactly. And you are already proposing a marriage between them?”He laughed out

Horace’s POVAnother meeting, which I knew would piss me off, but I had no choice but to be there.“Alpha, I think you should accept the proposal of Alpha Kane,” the chief elder said.My jaw tightened. “And why will I do something like that? What is the purpose of marrying my son off at this age?”“It is nothing new, Alpha. For centuries, we have always done it.”“That doesn’t concern me. It wasn’t done for me, and I won’t be doing it for any of my children.”I paused, taking a moment to just think about your stupidity. “Do you guys not see what they’re trying to do, or are you just trying to get on my nerves?” I asked straightforwardly.“What do you mean, alpha?”“Chief elder, I don’t think you should be asking me questions like that. You should already know what I mean. First, they want access to my daughter because of her gift. I decided to concur after listening to your advice and for the sake of peace.Now, they want access to my son. Do you not see what they’re trying to do, or

After I excused myself from the living room, I stood outside the door, feeling bad for a moment. The woman seemed to be in trouble, but unfortunately, all I could think about at that point was my children.It was something I also wished she could do for her daughter instead of trying to push her into the same situation she was pushed into.It was always right for every parent to do better than they experienced because that was the only way real change could come about.With nothing more to do, I made my way to the only place that gave me joy.My children’s playroom.And sure enough, the closer I got, the more I realized why they were my joy givers.Ever since my daughter regained her speech, she and her brother had basically turned the house upside down with their noise, but I didn’t mind. It was exactly what I wanted. Their nose. It was the very thing that gave me peace.As I got close enough and was about to go in, I noticed that their voices had suddenly gone down. It was such a qu

Horace’s POVElena and I got dressed for the big day ahead of us. Our children were also being put together in their individual rooms, and when we were done, we all met in the living room, prepared to leave.“How do I look, papa?” Ellie asked, smiling widely.I carried her onto my shoulder. “You look great, Angel. Just like you always do.”Her smile grew wider, and I turned to look at my son, who had his full teeth out in a smile as he whispered something to his mother.We went out and got into the car. It didn’t take long for us to get to our destination and the special event for the day.The Dominion Gala, which was also known as the heir presentation ceremony.As soon as we got out of the car, we were back with the last face any of us wanted to see.Kane and his family.His wife stood beside him, holding their two daughters. And of course, his healer stood at the other side, smiling.“Alpha,” he called out, smiling at me.My jaw flexed, and I just waved my hand before taking my fam

Horace’s POVElena and I stared at the invitation on the table. The one Kane sent to us for a small gathering in his residence. A residence that belonged to me that I gave him to use. I let out a dry chuckle, marvelling at his audacity.“I must say, he’s very audacious,” Elena spat, still reading through the letter.“That was the exact same thing I had on my mind. He’s something, I must say.”She exhaled. “So what are we doing? Are we going for the invitation to our own house?”I smirked. The image of the man crossed my mind. We hadn’t seen each other since his little charade at the gathering. I thought about refusing the proposal and even using it as an opportunity to send him out of my pack. However, on second thought, there was no need for that. It was better to go and here with the bastard had to say. After all, it was still my pack. My land. My house.I couldn’t run away from it.“We’ll go. We’ll hear whatever he has to say.”She nodded. “Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. B
