All Chapters of Bound by the Triplet Alpha's : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Damon's P.O.VThe interrogation room stank of fear and sweat. Beta Marcus sat chained to a chair with silver bonds, his weathered face defiant despite the burns forming where the metal touched his skin. He was an older wolf, loyal to the pack for forty years, but lately his behavior had been off. Distant. Secretive."I'll ask you one more time," I said, my voice deadly calm. "Where were you the night Darius was attacked?""In my quarters, sleeping," Marcus growled. "Same answer I've given you six times now.""Your quarters are in the east wing. Three pack members saw you in the west corridor that night. The same corridor where Darius was found bleeding out."Marcus's jaw tightened. "I was making rounds. Checking security.""That's not your job anymore. You retired from active patrol two years ago." I leaned forward, letting my Alpha power press against him like a physical weight. "Stop lying to me."His wolf reacted to the command, forcing submission, but the man fought it. Impressive

Dominic's P.O.VThe Sacred Mountains were trying to kill us.I'd known the journey would be difficult, but I hadn't anticipated this level of hostile terrain. The air was so thin that each breath felt like sucking through a straw. The temperature had dropped below freezing hours ago, and ice coated every surface, making each step treacherous. Wind howled through the peaks like the screams of the damned.And then there were the harpies."Above you!" Luna shouted.I dove sideways as a creature with the body of a massive bird and the face of a twisted woman swooped down, talons extended. Her screech pierced my eardrums, making my head ring. I slashed upward with my blade, catching her wing. Black blood sprayed across the white snow as she spiraled away, shrieking in fury."That's the fifth one in an hour," Garrett panted, his face red from exertion and cold. "How much further to the nesting grounds?"Luna, our tracker, studied the map with trembling fingers. She was small and lean, built

Dominic's P.O.VThe flames roared higher, closing in like the jaws of a predator. Sweat poured down my face, evaporating almost instantly in the intense heat. My skin felt like it was cooking, blistering under the assault of Ignatia's fire. Garrett and Luna pressed close to me, the three of us huddled in a circle that grew smaller with each passing second."Choose," Ignatia commanded again, her voice the crackle and snap of burning wood. "Which of you loves her enough to die?""This is insane," Garrett shouted over the roar of flames. "We can't just kill each other!""Then you all burn," Ignatia said simply. "And the Luna's mate dies. And history repeats itself. The choice is yours."I looked at my companions. Garrett's face was red from heat and fury, his eyes wild. Luna was smaller, more fragile, already struggling to breathe in the thin, superheated air.One of us had to die. That was the price. That was always the price for power, for magic, for anything worth having in this curse

Damon's P.O.VDarius lunged at me with inhuman speed.I barely rolled aside in time, his claws gouging deep furrows in the stone where my head had been a second before. Pain screamed through my ribs from Thaddeus's earlier attack, but I forced myself to move, to stay ahead of the monster wearing my brother's face."Darius!" I shouted, scrambling backward. "Brother, it's me! Fight this!"The creature that had been Darius snarled, a sound no wolf should be able to make. His lips pulled back, revealing teeth that were too sharp, too long. Those black eyes fixed on me with pure predatory hunger."Darius is gone," the layered voice said, launching another attack. "Only hunger remains."I shifted, my wolf form better suited for combat despite my injuries. We crashed together in a tangle of claws and teeth and fury. He was stronger than he should be, faster than any wolf I'd ever fought. The demon poison hadn't just changed him. It had enhanced him into something terrible.We broke apart, ci

Aveline's P.O.VThe world exploded into violence before I could even process what Dominic had screamed. One second, I was standing frozen in shock, staring at Lucien's suddenly cold face. The next, Dominic launched himself at the vampire with a feral snarl, his body already shifting mid-leap. His wolf was trying to emerge even though he looked half-dead, covered in burns and barely able to stand a moment ago."No!" I screamed, but my voice was lost in the chaos. Guards rushed forward from all directions. Wolves were shouting, some shifting, others drawing weapons. Lucien moved like liquid shadow, dodging Dominic's attack so easily it looked choreographed. He didn't even seem concerned. Just, amused.That made it worse somehow. The casual way he stepped aside as Dominic crashed into the ground where he'd been standing a split second before."Stop!" I tried again, my voice cracking. "Everyone stop!"No one listened. The courtyard had become a battlefield in seconds. Pack warriors surrou
