All Chapters of FATED TO MY ENEMY, BOUND BY SIN: Chapter 101 - Chapter 107

The warm water ran down my body as I showered. Steam curled around me like a shroud, and I leaned my forehead against the cold tiles, trying to let the heat scald away the thoughts clawing at the back of my mind. I struggled with forgetting everything that happened during the days I was in the dungeon, but it was damn impossible. The tension sat heavy in my chest, a lump of rage I couldn’t swallow.I scrubbed harder than necessary, nails scraping over skin that still carried the grime of the dungeon. Dirt and dried blood swirled down the drain in dark rivulets. I squeezed my eyes shut and let the spray beat against my closed lids, trying to drown out everything, but it failed. The bruises on my wrists from the shackles stung under the heat and Brina’s quiet, broken breathing still echoed in my ears. I kept wondering why an omega who had never done anything wrong was still dragged into that darkness with me. Every shallow breath she took down there had felt like another wound cutting t

“He’ll come back,” Rhea said fiercely. “He has to. You’re strong, Dylan. Stronger than you know. And that wolf of yours? He’s a survivor. Just like you.”“I don’t feel strong,” I admitted, voice rough. “I feel like I’m one breath away from shattering into a thousand pieces.”“Then we’ll gather those pieces together,” Rhea said, her voice steady and sure. “Every single one. And then we’ll rebuild you into something that can still stand. Something that can run. Something that can fight and protect what’s coming.”I dragged a hand down my face. “I know, but where the hell are we even supposed to go? We can’t just run into the woods and hope for the best. We need shelter, food, money. We need a plan that doesn’t get both of us killed.”Rhea was quiet for a long moment. “I’ve been thinking about that. I’ll update you when I can. For now, get dressed before Asher comes looking for you.” She stood abruptly, energy shifting in a heartbeat.She crossed to the wardrobe and yanked it open, rifli

“You’re shaking, Dylan.”Just as I was still looking at Asher, the voice came from directly behind me, low, rough and far too close. I froze immediately and didn’t turn at first. My pulse hammered so hard I could feel it in my throat. Rhea’s quiet presence half a step behind me was the only solid thing left. Then the voice came again, softer this time and almost amused. “You all frozen like you’ve heard a ghost.”I turned when I heard that.It was Alpha Nigel, standing less than an arm’s length away, tall enough that I had to tilt my chin up to meet his eyes. Dark hair pulled back, sharp features half-shadowed by the light, pale gaze fixed on my face with an intensity that made the air feel thinner. He hadn’t been there a second ago. Or maybe he had, and I had simply been too busy drowning to notice. I forced my spine straight, forced a small, polite smile onto my mouth even as everything inside me continued to fracture.“Alpha Nigel,” I said, keeping my voice steady, almost light. “I

“I’m fine, Nigel,” I answered.I opened my mouth to say something else when the first wave hit.It came without warning. A sudden, violent twist deep in my gut, sharp enough to steal my breath. My fingers tightened around the stem of the glass until I thought it might snap. Heat flooded my face, then drained away just as fast, leaving me cold and clammy.The wine, I told myself. It has to be the wine. Or the stress. Or the secret sitting in my chest like a live coal.But this was different. This wasn’t anything I had felt before.It was a clawing, tearing sensation that started deep in my gut and ripped upward with terrifying speed. Within seconds my mouth started to flood with saliva and my vision started to swim at the edges. Fear spiked through me, sharp and cold.“I… I need to excuse myself,” I said suddenly, my voice coming out strangled. Nigel’s brows drew together at my words, but before he could say anything I turned, intending to walk with dignity toward the nearest exit, tow
