Alle Kapitel von Bound by Blood and Hatred : Kapitel 21 – Kapitel 30

Eira’s POVAfter drinking the porridge, it didn’t take long for my body to react. My skin began to itch, a raw discomfort spreading across my chest. Breathing grew heavier with each passing second.Despite the growing tightness in my lungs and the burning beneath my skin, a faint smile played on my lips.’I’m going to meet Alice.’I curled up in the bed, ready for the end. Darkness began to cloud the edges of my mind, pulling me gently toward the abyss. I was dying. Finally.At the final moment of life, what does a person think about? Perhaps not of regrets or pain. Maybe they think of the memories they cherished the most.My subconscious drifted six years back into the past, the day when Alice took me to her home for the first time.But I didn’t know that day would lead me to him, the one who stole my heart the moment I saw him.Alice and I stood in front of the cozy-looking cottage home, surrounded by a beautiful greenery. The air was fresh, touched by the first chill of approaching

Jason’s POVThat bitch continued to sleep the entire day after she was saved from the allergic reaction.I had cuffed her wrist so she wouldn’t pull any stunt, especially with Roman not around to keep watch on her. And I had no interest in staying by her side and ruining my mood, despite Kael told me to take care of her.Though unwilling, I brought food for her, but she didn’t eat any, and I didn’t insist. The food lay untouched on the coffee table.Night arrived, and it was time to execute the plan I had for that bitch. But I had to tread carefully to not let any of my mate brothers know what I was up to.Kael returned home late after finishing his work at the office and went straight to his room after having dinner with me and Lucian. Once Kael was in his room, he never came out till morning unless there was an emergency which strictly required his attention.Lucian had gone out to inspect the pack’s perimeter security. He wouldn’t be back anytime soon.Roman still hadn’t returned,

Jason’s POVI looked up at the figure standing at the door.He was frozen, clearly shocked as his gaze shifted between me, the bloodied torture tools, the unconscious naked bitch tied to the chair, and my pets still crawling over her trembling body.I returned my attention to cleaning the tools in my hands, stained with her filthy blood with the cloth from my toolbox."I was just getting some useful information out of her," I said casually.Lucian stepped inside, his eyes sweeping over her pale, limp form. Her body was covered in red, swollen bite marks, mingling with old scars and the new wounds I had carved into her skin."Is she dead?" he asked."My pets aren’t venomous," I replied, not looking up. "Their bites won’t kill her. But I can’t say if her soul had fled the moment she saw them so closely."I pulled the long needle from her toe and wiped it clean, placing it neatly into its place in the box along with other tools.Lucian checked her pulse at her neck and sighed a relief. "

Liam’s POVWhen I received Kael’s call, I knew from the way he spoke that something terrible had happened. The previous day, I had been caught up with back-to-back surgeries. Knowing Eira’s condition was an allergic reaction, I let them handle it. Jason was there, and he knew how to manage such situations. I thought it might even help him warm up to her a little.But I was wrong.I didn’t know that when I was called again, I would see her in such a devastating state.Even though I was a doctor and had seen worse cases of harm, I couldn’t help but be shaken by what had happened to her. Her entire body... I didn’t have words to explain.But for the first time in a long time, my eyes turned moist, threatening to shed tears.The last time I had tears in my eyes was six years ago, when our pack lost our Alpha and Luna and we watched our pack descend into deadly chaos three years back.As I watched her, at that moment, I wished... I wished she had died long ago instead of coming back to us

Kael’s POVI climbed onto the bed and pinned both of her hands above her head, one hand still pressed firmly over her mouth. Her legs kicked out wildly, but I trapped them between my thighs, locking her in place."Keep quiet," I warned her.But the madwoman didn’t seem to understand. She kept struggling, eyes wide with panic, until her strength finally gave out. Her body went limp as she slipped back into unconsciousness.Annoyed, I released her and got off the bed. But before leaving, I made sure to secure one of her wrists with a cuff attached to the headboard. I wasn’t about to let her run off screaming like a lunatic again.She’s quiet now. No need to call Liam, I thought and walked out of the room without looking back.----In the evening, one of the security in-charges, Carl—who worked under Lucian—came to update me on the situation."Alpha," he began, standing tall, "Alpha, there’s indeed some movement from the Dreadwyn pack, and their Alpha’s frequent visits to our pack under
