All Chapters of BOUND TO THE ALPHA: SECRET HEIRS OF THE KING : Chapter 71 - Chapter 78

Chapter 70Pedros povA small movement caught my sharp alpha eyes first—a subtle shift in the shadows of one of the upper floors in the uncompleted building across the street. My body tensed instantly, every muscle coiled like a spring ready to unleash, heart pounding with the adrenaline of the hunt mixed with the lingering, aching fire from Harper’s body still burning hot in my veins. I braced for another rocket shot, leaning forward over the sturdy deck railing, the cool night wind whipping across my bare chest where her nails had left faint, stinging marks only minutes earlier. The wood creaked under my iron grip as I narrowed my focus, the world sharpening into predator clarity. Come on, show yourselves, you bastards, I thought, a deep growl building low in my throat. The mate bond tugged at me painfully, a constant, throbbing undercurrent of worry for her safety clashing violently with the alpha rage demanding blood for this violation of my territory.But no sh

Harper’s pov But I also couldn’t put my rut at bay. Even just thinking about her made desire stir within me, hot and insistent, pulling at the edges of my control like a chain about to snap. The meeting with the Council had left me wired, the temporary stamp burning a hole in my pocket, but my body had other priorities. I needed her. I grabbed a cup of coffee from the kitchen, the bitter liquid doing little to calm the fire in my veins, and made my way to her suite. I found Harper asleep in her room, curled up on the bed like she belonged there. I sat on the couch across from her, sipping the coffee slowly, watching the steady rise and fall of her chest. My mind wouldn’t rest. It kept circling back to Elec and the child she carried—his child. How would that affect my future? The fate of my bloodline? I’d bought myself some time with the High Council, but that time would eventually run out. If I didn’t figure out a solution before then, I might end up losing my territory. I’d have t

CHAPTER 72PEDROThe captive before me wailed again as I snapped his fingers, and the sound bounced off the stone walls of the underground room before dying somewhere in the dark corners. His body shook violently against the chair, but he still refused to speak, even though wolfsbane had been forced into his system and his healing had completely stopped. One of his fingers remained wrapped in a bloody cloth while the others lay uselessly beside him, and yet the bastard looked at me with nothing but stubborn silence. Even my father, who had spent decades dealing with enemies and traitors, looked uncomfortable as he watched me, while Martin stood nearby with his arms crossed and his jaw tight. I could feel my patience disappearing with every second that passed, and my wolf was already scratching at the inside of my skin, begging me to tear the truth out of the man myself.“You have one chance left,” I said quietly, leaning toward him. “Tell me who sent you.”The man only breathed heavil

CHAPTER 74HARPERI could not sleep that night, no matter how many times I closed my eyes and pulled the blanket over my head. Every time I started to drift away, I heard the sound of the bedroom door shaking again, followed by the deep voice of the stranger asking who I was and why I was living inside Pedro's pack house. I could still feel his hand around my arm, and I could still remember the fear that had rushed through me when he blocked the window and took the baton from my hand. But the worst part was not the attack itself, because what truly frightened me was the fact that he already knew I mattered to Pedro. He had not looked at me like a random woman he had found inside a room; he had looked at me like someone he had been sent to find.I turned onto my side and stared at the darkness, pressing one hand against my stomach without even thinking about it. My baby was still so small, yet it already seemed to be at the center of a storm that I had never asked for. Elec did not eve
