Lahat ng Kabanata ng Bound By Deception:The Alpha’s Betrayal : Kabanata 101 - Kabanata 110

Jenn’s POV “Because your ‘vision’ is madness.” My father’s voice was steel. “You want to destroy everything we’ve built. Everything that keeps our people safe.” “I want to rebuild.” The Mad Alpha’s eyes glittered. “Sometimes you have to burn the old to make way for the new.” He glanced around at the cabin, at the flames consuming it. “Speaking of which.” My mother stepped forward, placing herself between him and my father. “If you’re going to kill us, just do it. But know this – whatever you’re searching for, you’ll never find it.” The Mad Alpha’s expression shifted. Something flickered in his eye – loss, maybe. Or regret. “Elara. Always so fierce.” He shook his head slowly. “I don’t want to kill you. Either of you. You were my friends. My only real friends, once.” “Oh, don’t give me that!” my father explained. “I saw you kill your own wife with your hands. You’re a sadistic, heartless brute who has no love and is capable of nothing related to it. So, don’t give me that line. I’m

Jenn’s POV I was sure I could almost see Wade’s frustration and his dread creeping in. He thought he was playing me. He’d thought he had taken the first move and struck first, I could hardly imagine how he was feeling now that he knew what he stole from me was only breadcrumbs. “You mean…” “I mean that I thought you might try something like this. So I took precautions.” I shifted against the Alpha King’s chest. “I invested. I opened accounts in my name. My Luna salary – I never spent a penny. It’s all still there. So I’m fine. In fact, I’m better off than you.” “But you didn’t –” “Pay attention?” I cut him off. “You know, I would have given you access to half of everything if you hadn’t decided to steal from me. You can call it a test. And you failed. I feel like you let that Morgan get into your head. She misled you, but who am I to tell you what to do?” “The half of everything you just listed should be mine according to the law,” Wade tried, desperation creeping into his voice

Wade’s POV I was early! Of course I was early. I’d been standing here for twenty minutes, watching the road, watching the trees, watching for any sign of them. When the headlights finally appeared, my heart did something stupid – it lurched, then raced. The vehicles pulled up, and I watched them get out. First the soldiers, they moved with a fluid grace that made my wolf bristle. Then Simon – the traitor – and Alva, looking at me like I was something stuck to her shoe. Then Jenn. She wore black – tight jacket, dark jeans, boots that meant business. She looked like a general prepared for battle. She looked like she’d never belonged to me at all. Very far from the woman I knew and lived with for five years. And she was holding his hand. The Alpha king stepped out beside her, and the casual way his fingers intertwined with hers made something in my chest crack. They weren’t even doing anything inappropriate. They were just… together. In a way she and I had never been, not really.

Jenn’s POV Asking the mad Alpha to tell us why we were here was a stretch, I knew that. But I didn’t know what else to do and we needed to buy time while our people located Morgan. If she was even here like her father hinted. He could be trucking us for all we knew and we could be falling right into his hands, but when did that ever stop me? “Ouch,” the Mad Alpha touched his heart with a smirk. “But you’re right. Why don’t we? So, I want the Alpha King to denounce himself from the throne and free the lands of the Southern packs.” “And I want you to stab yourself in the heart right now to save me the trouble,” the Alpha King scoffed. “That girl is not worth it. And considering what you’ve done to the realm, I hardly see your word as something I can trust. Besides, if I freed the Southern lands, what happens to the packs whose territories are located there?” “Those packs can relocate to your land,” the Mad Alpha sneered and tilted his head. “After all, you still have vast territory

Liam’s POV I was following the scent of the Mad Alpha, wishing for nothing more than tearing his head off with my bare hands. This would solve most of my problems, as the sly bastard was the brain behind everything. Eliminating him would be crucial for victory. But I knew that was far-reaching. I sped up, letting my wolf take control. Soon I saw a blur of movement ahead. The Mad Alpha’s scent was unmistakable now. I didn’t hesitate – I charged, slamming into the figure from behind and knocking him off his feet. My wolf was massive, powerful, bred for combat. I would have overpowered him easily if not for the two bears that emerged from the treeline. They were huge, aggressive, and clearly trained for this. It took me precious minutes to rip through them, minutes I couldn’t afford to waste. When I finally turned back to my prey, two things hit me at once. First, Elayne was nowhere to be seen. The Mad Alpha had been holding her when he fled, but she wasn’t here now. He must have h
