All Chapters of Bought by the Feral Billionaire: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Clara’s bare feet slapped against the icy black marble of the subterranean corridors, her heart hammering like a trapped bird against her ribs. She didn't care that she was wearing only a thin, silk shift dress. She didn't care that guards stared as she sprinted past the heavily fortified security checkpoints of Obsidian Ridge.Her mother's terrified warning echoed in her mind with terrifying clarity: Look at Dominic's left shoulder... the mark... he doesn't even know...She rounded the final corner and burst through the heavy steel doors of the Tactical Command Vault."We strike the northern gate of the Royal Capital at zero five hundred," Dominic’s deep, commanding voice boomed across the room. He stood in the centre of a massive tactical table, surrounded by Beta Marcus and seven high-ranking Alpha commanders.Dominic was bare-chested, strapping a heavy, dragon-hide tactical breastplate over his broad shoulders. The golden soul-bind mark on his collarbone glowed softly, pulsing in

"Toby!" Clara's yell, raw and frantic, tore through the wrecked tactical vault.She turned to sprint out the shattered doorway, but before she could take three steps, Dominic caught her by the waist, swinging her back against his solid chest. His bare arms locked around her like bands of forged steel, absorbing her frantic thrashing."Let me go, Dominic! I have to get to him!" Clara sobbed, her fingers digging desperately into his forearms. "Katherine has my brother!""I am holding you because if you run blindly into a shadow ambush, I will lose both of you," Dominic purred fiercely into her ear, his breath hot and ragged against her skin.His grey eyes burnt with a terrifying, golden fury, and the heavy, intoxicating scent of dark chocolate, cedarwood, and rain-soaked earth surrounded her, acting as a grounding anchor against her rising hysteria. "Look at me, Clara. Look at me."Clara forced herself to turn in his arms, her amber eyes swimming with tears."I swore to protect your fam

Time shattered into razor-sharp fragments. The black void spear whistled through the collapsing golden barrier, a missile of concentrated death aimed straight at Dominic’s broad, exposed back.Clara tried to scream, tried to force her muscles to lift the Sun-Crest Blade, but the hidden dark curse, locked deep within her mother’s bloodline, violently rebelled against the weapon's divine light. A bitter drop of golden blood bubbled from her lips. Her knees buckled against the freezing stone floor, her fingers slipping uselessly from the polished hilt.Dominic didn't look back. He didn't attempt to dodge, nor did he move to save his life.Instead, with a guttural growl that shook the ancient foundations of the hall, the Alpha King twisted his massive frame over Clara’s fallen body. He shielded her completely beneath his towering width, exposing his bare back to the lethal strike to keep her safe."Dominic, NO!" Clara’s choked sob was cut short as the void-spear slammed down.CRACK!Pitch

The pitch-black void light didn't just illuminate the ruined stone floor—it hummed with a sickening, razor-sharp frequency that set Clara’s teeth on edge. The air grew instantly sub-zero, turning her desperate breaths into icy mist."Silas rigged the blood-link," Dominic growled, his arm tightening around Clara’s waist like a steel band. His dark suit jacket was ripped at the shoulders, revealing the dense, rigid muscle beneath, pulsing with golden Alpha veins. "He wrapped his hidden sanctuary in shadow-fire. The moment the Sun-Crest Blade tries to open a doorway, the void energy will attempt to incinerate whoever powers the key.""Seven minutes left, Dominic," Clara said, her amber eyes burning through the darkness as she looked down at the blade embedded in the stone.She could feel Toby’s faint, erratic heartbeat pounding against her own through the soul-bind. The boy was bleeding out on Silas's obsidian altar. Every second they hesitated was another drop of Toby's life leaking int

The stone walls crumbled under the earth-shattering roar from the pit’s depths.Swirling tornados of violet shadow-fire spewed from the abyss, scorching the ceiling and painting the sanctuary in an apocalyptic twilight."Hahaha!" Silas wheezed, blood spurting from his mouth as his ruptured organs gave out. He lay sprawled on the edge of the expanding chasm, his eyes fixed on little Toby. "You saved him, Dominic... but you opened the seal! The Void Eclipse lineage was meant to devour the realm... and he is its king!"Toby’s small body floated off the altar, suspended three feet in the air by a column of radiant silver-purple light. The mark on his forehead—an ancient, forgotten dual crest of an eclipse encircled by golden flames—pulsed in harmony with the soul-bind marks on Dominic’s collarbone and Clara’s thigh."Toby!" Clara cried out, forcing her poisoned legs to move. Pain ripped through her shoulder where the shadow guard had clawed her, but the terror for her brother burnt hotter
