บททั้งหมดของ BOUND BY REVENGE: The Alpha King's broken bride : บทที่ 81 - บทที่ 90

Nyx povI woke up while it was still dark. I sat at the window and watched the estate grounds. The grass lay still under a heavy grey sky. Today had arrived. I felt the weight of it settle in my chest. It was not grief. I had already moved through that in the northern ruins but it was not triumph either. Triumph felt too small for this. This was heavier and older. A reckoning that had waited nineteen years finally standing at the door.The maids came at first light. They helped me into a deep formal dress, the color of the Luna. It was nothing like the white I wore on the day I was forced to marry. I sat quietly while they worked. My mother’s ring rested on my finger. Mara stirred warm inside my chest.*We finally get justice* Mara said.“We do.” I thought about the vault, the letter, and every step that had brought me from that hidden panel at four years old to this room. It had been a long road and I was ready to finish it. The door opened and Lucian stepped inside. The maids bowed

Nyx POV Lucian found me in the small sitting room near the library. I was curled up in a chair with a book in my lap, trying to lose myself in the pages for a few quiet moments. He leaned against the doorway and watched me for a second before he spoke.“You look peaceful,” he said, his voice warm. “I almost hate to interrupt.”I looked up and closed the book. “Hey Lucian” He stepped inside and closed the door behind him coming close to me, placing a kiss on my head. “Hey storm” He sat beside me while I went to my book. Then I felt his eyes on me. “Lucian, What is it?” I smiled. “Nothing, I just like staring at beautiful things” I giggled. I felt heat slowly creeping up my face. “What do you want, Lucian?” “You are training with me today. I will train you on combat and wolf control.”I set the book aside. “ Oh? Why you?”His hand reached out and brushed a strand of hair from my face. “Because I know what you are capable of when you push yourself. And I want to be the one who help

Elara POV (Third person limited) Elara moved through her training session the next morning not with the same focus she always had. The conversation she had with Thorne last night still bothered her. She had thought of different ways to tell Lucian but every scenario ends the same. Either way she will break her brother’s trust. The training yard behind the main hall was usually quiet at this hour. She practiced the lunar magic in controlled bursts, letting the power flow through her veins while keeping it contained. The air around her shimmered slightly as she worked. She had chosen this secluded corner precisely because it was away from prying eyes. Or so she had thought. A soft gasp broke her concentration. Elara turned sharply and spotted the young omega servant frozen near the edge of the yard. The girl’s eyes were wide with shock. She had clearly seen more than she should have. Elara crossed the distance in a few quick strides. She cornered the omega against the stone wall a

Lucian's pov I stood at the window of my study the next morning when the guards informed me that members of the High Council had arrived unannounced. The news did not surprise me as rumors traveled fast in a pack this size. I had expected them to come eventually. Still the timing felt deliberate. They wanted to catch us off guard. I straightened my shoulders and prepared myself for the confrontation ahead. My main concern remained Elara. I would protect her no matter what this visit cost us.I met the councilors in the main courtyard. Sir Gerald led the group. His face carried the practiced neutrality of a man used to wielding power while the others followed with careful expressions. The entire estate felt tense. Servants moved quietly. Guards stood at attention. Everyone sensed that something important was happening.“Alpha Lucian,” Sir Gerald said with a slight bow. “We apologize for the unannounced visit. But we have urgent matters to discuss.”I nodded once. “Then let us discuss

ELARA'S POV (THIRD LIMITED).Elara stood at the window of her chambers three days after the council visit. The estate below her looked peaceful under the early light. Servants moved about their tasks, guards patrolled the walls and everything appeared normal on the surface. Yet she knew the investigation had ended quietly. Lucian had handled the councilors with calculated authority only he could manage. The rumors had not disappeared completely but they had lost their sharp edge. The pack gossip was already shifting to other matters. Relief washed over her in a slow wave. She had dodged a blade aimed straight at her heart.Still the anger lingered. Someone had betrayed her privacy and had taken her secret and turned it into a weapon. She clenched her hands at her sides and turned away from the window. The men in her life had protected her again. Lucian with his words and thorne with his silence. She felt grateful for both. Yet she also felt trapped by their protection. They treated he
