All Chapters of BOUND TO THE ENEMY ALPHA : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

CHAPTER 2: I KNOW WHO YOU AREELENA:As soon as my father made that statement, the silence in the room became heavy. It felt like a physical weight pressing down on my lungs, making every breath a struggle. I stood there on that dais, the rubies on my red dress feeling like drops of frozen blood against my skin.I turned my head sharply, looking at my father. My eyes were wide, pleading for him to tell me this was some kind of twisted birthday prank. But Alpha Darius Thorne wouldn't even look at me. I saw a flicker of something like guilt cross his forehead, but it vanished in a blink, replaced by that cold, Alpha mask he wore when he was making "tough decisions.""The marriage will be finalized at the next full moon," he announced, his voice booming through the hall like a death sentence.My head was spinning. I wasn't stupid. I knew the history books. Back in the day, Alphas traded their daughters like cattle or bags of grain to keep the peace. But this was the modern age! We had co

CHAPTER 4: THE PACKAGE IS HEREELENA:I kept my face pressed against the cold glass of the window as the SUV sped away. I didn’t care if I looked pathetic; I just wanted to memorize every detail. The stone gate of our estate, the crooked oak tree where Kamala and I used to hide from our tutors, and the flickering streetlights of the Thorne territory. Everything I knew was shrinking in the rearview mirror. I was nineteen for exactly six hours, and my life was already a ghost story.Adrian sat beside me like a statue carved out of ice. For the entire thirty-minute drive, he didn’t say a single word. He didn't check his phone, he didn't look at me, and he didn't blink. He just sat there with his jaw set so tight I thought his teeth might crack. He was the devil in a designer suit, and I was the "package" he’d just picked up.As we crossed the border, the scenery started to change. I expected the Blackwood territory to look like a graveyard given how cold the Alpha was. But I was wrong. I

CHAPTER 6: IT'S YOUR MASTER ELENA:I heaved a sigh as I watched the door click shut and I heard Adrian’s heavy footsteps fading down the hall. His voice still echoed in my head, telling me to break a single rule of his and experience what's worse than death. What a devil!I stripped that red dress off and let it slide against the floor. I stepped away from it and turned it inside out, my fingers trembling as I hunted through the expensive fabric. My dad had told me the tech was state-of-the-art, woven into the very soul of the garment.After more than three minutes of searching, I found it hidden inside the thick, reinforced hem of the neckline, right under the heavy ruby embroidery. It was tiny—smaller than a grain of rice—a micro-circuitry board that looked like a stray thread until you felt the hard plastic casing. There was another one stitched into the waistband, a flat, flexible strip that acted as a high-frequency antenna. It was genius. To anyone else, it just looked like ext

CHAPTER 8: JUST GETTING STARTED ELENA:The moment Adrian’s fingers grazed my back as he zipped down the red dress, I felt that disgusting shudder crawl up my spine. He thought I was "affected" by him. He thought I was some cheap girl getting wet because he touched my skin.He didn’t know the half of it.I was leaning into his touch because a few minutes ago, my father’s voice had hissed through the micro-comms in my collar, telling me to play the part. *“Keep an eye on him. Make friends with the guards, his Gamma and Beta. Then, you try to find what their plans are concerning the Black-Quartz Ridges in our land. Every piece of intel brings us closer to bringing that pack to its knees. Do not fail me, Elena.”*I didn't want to fail my Dad. And I was ready to do almost anything to achieve the goal, including leaning into his touch. But Adrian wasn't buying the act. He gripped my shoulders, his hands like iron clamps, and spun me around so I was forced to look into those icy blue eyes.

CHAPTER 10:ELENA:The tension in that dining room was so thick it made the room feel so suffocating. I’d officially reached my limit. Purity was still clinging to Adrian like a desperate vine, and Adrian was vibrating with a quiet rage that made the silverware hum.I didn't want to give them another second of my time. I chewed and swallowed my last bite of bacon, washed it down with a long sip of cold water, and stood up. I gave a polite, stiff bow to the two Alphas at the head of the table."Thanks for the breakfast," I said, my voice smooth and totally unaffected.I turned on my heel and headed for the stairs. Behind me, I heard Silas clear his throat, that gravelly voice of his echoing in the hall. "One minute, the girl is behaving like she was raised in the streets," he mused, "and the next, she’s acting like a lady. Interesting. In a short while, we'll find out what's in this package."I didn’t look back. I didn't care what he thought about my upbringing. I just wanted to be alo
