BOUND TO THE RUTHLESS ALPHA のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 171 - チャプター 180

Darius's PovWe moved through the storage room and into a corridor. The fortress was made of dark stone and lit by torches mounted on the walls. Everything looked old and the air smelled like mold and decay.The mate bond was pulling me forward and I followed it like a compass. Soraya was close. I could feel her fear through the bond and it made the curse stir in my chest."Stay focused," Dante whispered from behind me. "We need you in control.""I am in control.""For now. Just remember the plan. We get Soraya and we get out. No unnecessary fights.""I know the plan."We reached a corner and I held up my hand to stop everyone. I could hear footsteps coming from the other direction. They were Guards.I signaled for everyone to press against the wall and we waited. Two guards walked past talking to each other in low voices. They did not look in our direction and kept walking.Once they were gone we continued forward. The bond was getting stronger with each step and I knew we were getti

Dante's PovWe waited in position about a hundred yards from the main gate hidden behind a cluster of large rocks. My team consisted of Connor, Julia, Sam, Blake, Riley, Jake, and Marie. Eight of us total to create enough chaos to draw the guards away from Darius and his infiltration team.I checked my watch. "Two minutes. Everyone ready?""As ready as we will ever be," Connor said. He was holding his rifle and I could see his hands shaking slightly."Remember the plan," I said. "We make noise. We draw attention. We do not try to breach the gate because that would be suicide. As soon as things get too dangerous we pull back and head to the extraction point.""How will we know when things are too dangerous?" Riley asked."You will know. Trust me."I looked at each person and saw fear in their faces. They knew this was dangerous. They knew some of us might not make it, but they were here anyway."One minute," I said looking at my watch again.The seconds ticked by and I felt my heart po

Soraya's PovThe moment he helped me, I felt something inside me explode. It was like a dam breaking and water flooding through. Power surged from my chest down my arms and into my legs.The wolf. It was waking up.Pain shot through my wrist where the seal was and I looked down. The mark that had been there my whole life was cracking. Lines spread across it like broken glass and it glowed with a faint silver light."What is happening?" I gasped."What is wrong?" Darius asked. He was working on the chains around my ankles."The seal. Look at it."He looked at my wrist and his eyes widened. "It is breaking.""I can feel something inside me. Something trying to get out."The wolf pushed against the seal harder and I felt my consciousness shift. For a moment I was not alone in my own head. There was something else there with me. Something ancient and very angry."Let me out," a voice said in my mind. It was not my voice. It was deeper and colder. "I have been trapped for too long.""No,"

Soraya's PovI sat against the cold wall watching Darius and the others fight the guards. They were trying so hard but there were just too many enemies. We were going to lose this fight and probably die here.The seal on my wrist cracked further and sharp pain shot through my arm. The wolf inside me pushed harder against what remained of the seal wanting desperately to break free."Let me out little one. I can help you fight these men.""No. I do not trust you.""Then you will die here. All of you will die. Is that what you want?"I looked at Darius fighting off multiple guards at once. He was already covered in blood and breathing hard. The curse was making him incredibly strong but even he had limits. He could not keep this up forever.I could not just sit here doing nothing while everyone died protecting me."Fine," I said to the wolf inside my head. "But I stay in control. Not you.""We shall see about that."I pushed myself up from the floor using the wall for support. My legs we

Darius's PovWhile Soraya fought Kayla in the middle of the corridor, I heard loud footsteps echoing from behind us. I turned around quickly and saw more guards pouring through the doors we had just come from. At least fifteen of them all heavily armed and moving fast toward our position."We have more guards coming from behind!" Marcus shouted urgently.I looked back at Soraya who was still fighting Kayla with everything she had. Then I looked at the advancing guards getting closer with each passing second. I had to make a choice and I had to make it fast because we were running out of time."Darius what do we do?" Eliza asked with panic in her voice."I do not know yet. If I go help Soraya the guards will cut off our escape route completely. But if I fight the guards Kayla might hurt Soraya while I am not watching.""She seems to be holding her own against Kayla right now," Dante said looking over at the fight."I know but what if Kayla suddenly gets the upper hand? What if she kill
