All Chapters of Bound By Deception:The Alpha’s Betrayal : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Liam’s POVThe following day didn’t come as fast as I would like and after waiting for what felt like a week, dawn finally arrived. If I could fast forward the day, I would have, but at long last, the time to meet her came.I stood in my private office adjoining my royal suite, listening to my Beta as he reviewed reports, but my mind drifted constantly to the soft pulse of the scent on the other side of the door. Sweet, warm, and unmistakably my mate. Every inhale of her scent sent my wolf into a pacing frenzy inside my chest. My mate was here! Although I’d been expecting her, I could hardly believe that she was actually here. I tried to keep my face blank and look unaffected but Luke couldn’t be fooled. He shot me an amused look, but said nothing. The doors opened and she walked in, immediately drawing the attention of my beta and the few of my council members that were around. Jenn walked into my space, and sunlight followed her. She wore a red dress that clung to her body in a

Wade’s POV My mate was misbehaving and I needed to take care of it! After the grand ball yesterday, I’d decided to throw a smaller celebration today for the Alphas to meet, talk and finalize whatever plans they’d made with other Alphas. It was always the norm during every culling ball and I simply couldn’t change tradition. But when I finished preparing and realized Jenn wasn’t even home or anywhere around the pack house, a sudden anger had washed over me, followed by jealousy when I was informed by my beta that she was meeting the Alpha King. I had no idea what came over me in that instant but I knew that I needed to bring Jenn back home immediately. My feet moved before my brain could process what I was doing and by the time I realized myself, I was barging into the Royal suite reserved for the Lycan King. I was both shocked and annoyed to find Jenn really there and staring at me as though I was a stranger. All thoughts of what I’d intended to do fled from my head and for a

Jenn’s POV I shot Wade a confused look, expecting some sort of explanation but none came. “Don’t tell me you intend to go back on your word, Wade,” I said. “You said she was going to stay as our slave until we made a decision and came to an agreement. I don’t recall us having that discussion.” Wade turned to me, narrowing his eyes into slits. “First of all, watch your tone with me, Luna. Secondly, I don’t recall saying I was going to have that discussion with you. Morgan and I have talked and we’ve come to an agreement about her living arrangements. The only option you have is to accept it.” “The only option I have?!” I exclaimed incredulously. “Is that what you really have to say to me Wade? That I have no voice and no input in what goes on in my own home? You bring a random person into our lives and just expect me to accept her because she’s what? Some fated mate?” Morgan’s face flushed red with anger, but before she could say anything, Wade jumped in. “Jenn, can you just listen

Jenn’s POV We both turned to see Beta Simon baring his fangs at the two of us, his eyes glaring daggers. I could have asked what this insolence meant? If he realized the man he was growling at was the Alpha King, but then I realized how this must look to a bystander. “Is there a problem, beta Simon?” The Alpha King asked, his arms still around my waist from where he’d caught me from falling. Although he looked calm, I could feel the fury radiating from him. “Yes, there is a problem,” Simon growled, clenching his fist. “You have your arms around my Luna, and I demand –” The Alpha King moved too fast for my eyes to follow, but I felt when his arms left me. One minute he was standing in front of me, and the next he was clutching Beta's neck, lifting him up in the air as if he weighed nothing. “What did you say to me, beta?” The Alpha King growled. More like roared, because I could swear that I felt the earth tremble. “Repeat the statement you made just now and watch me rip your t

Jenn’s POV Before I could call out Wade for his disrespect towards the Alpha King, Liam spoke up. “Don’t you think it’s a bit too disrespectful to behave this way during a formal meeting, Alpha Wade?” Liam’s eyes narrowed into slits, and it was clear – with the way his eyes were beginning to glow – that his wolf was just at the surface. Wade’s eyes widened. I could feel the fear as it vibrated through his body before he took a humbling step back, raising both his hands up in the air in surrender. “My apologies, Alpha King for my rudeness. I have no excuse for my behavior.” Liam simply ignored him, his eyes straying to my face then to the letter still on the desk between us. “You were going to read your letter,” he said, his voice softening from the deep growl he’d addressed Wade with. “Do you need me here for it?” Without paying it any thought, I nodded. “Yes, of course,” I smiled. “You’re the Alpha King. Whether you’re new or not, you must understand the politics of the Royal co
