Bound To The Broken Alpha Novels & Stories

What kind of Alpha does that? [What's the point of being strong in battle if he has such poor character? How can someone like that be an Alpha?] Other werewolves also expressed their sympathy for me online. I was grateful for their support. I thought that once I publicly announced the breakup, I had completely cut ties with my past. To my surprise, things went way out of hand. Someone on Instagram clearly couldn't stand it anymore and leaked my post, along with the intimate photos of Leah and Kenny, to the media.

“I, Alpha Flint, reject you, Omega Lola, as my partner.” The words echoed in my ears. My legs trembled. I felt my chest tighten, my wolf inside me crying out in pain and confusion. I tried to steady myself. My voice was flat, almost empty. “I accept,” I whispered. The bond between us, whatever was left of it, snapped like a rubber band stretched too far. I didn’t know if I could move. I didn’t know what to do. I could hear the laughter and the whispers, but I was numb.

A broken sound escaped him-half-whimper, half-howl. That's when I knew. He understood now. That she was gone. That Seraphina had severed their bond-with her own hands. I raised the divider, shielding him from the rest of the world. I'd seen the moment their wolves had aligned in glory. I'd witnessed the fall, when he broke every vow an Alpha should hold sacred. And now, I was watching him pay the price. Moonlight streamed in through the window, touching my hand. I felt the ache too-deep in my spirit.

“Even if I have to burn his world to the ground.” The shadows didn’t answer. But I felt something move in them faint, like a ripple of air. A scent I recognized before the figure even stepped out. “Alpha,” a soft voice said. “You shouldn’t lose control like that.” I turned my head slightly. “You are still here.” Liora, my seer stepped closer, dark hair spilling over her shoulders, her eyes cloudy and distant. “I told you once,” she said quietly. “The bond between you and the girl was never yours to claim.”

Breaking the mate bond, betraying everything I felt for her. The chamber was silent except for the sound of my heart hammering against my ribs. Isabella stood near the door, beautiful and patient, representing everything these men thought I should want. The weight of leadership crashed down on me. Sometimes being Alpha meant making choices that destroyed your soul to save your people. "Fine," I said, the word tasting like ash in mouth. "I accept. Aurora will no longer be my mate. I'll break the mate bond." I looked at Isabella, forcing the words out in my throat.

she said. "I’m tired of hearing that," I muttered. "Everyone says I’m troubled, but no one offers a solution." "Sometimes there are no solutions. Only endurance." I scoffed. "You told me breaking the bond would destroy me. You also told me I must not claim Vanessa." I faced her fully now, my patience gone. "So what do you expect me to do? Stay alive while I lose my mind?" She sighed. "You are the Alpha. This is your burden." "For how long?" I demanded. "How long am I expected to carry it?"

“He can’t ignore you. You’re his mate at the end of the day. Alpha took responsibility for you the day that he marked you.” Stepping back, I fell into the oversized chair and buried my head in my hands. “I don’t…I don’t want to be his responsibility, Mer. I want my mate. I wanted…” I stopped myself from falling further into the pain in my heart. “It’s too late. The bond is either broken or destroyed. There is nothing left. I think you’re giving too much credit to the Alpha he is now.” Mer frowned. “I don’t think you are giving him enough.”

I breathed out as I felt the ropes being loosened. "Be good." The alpha patted my bleeding back and I heard them all walking out. I laid there unable to move and with no aid from anywhere.

The woman in gray suddenly doubled over. Black veins spread across her neck. Caelan rushed toward her. "Get back!" Selene grabbed his arm. "What is happening?" "She's breaking free." "From what?" Caelan looked at Kael. "The crown." Kael's eyes widened. "But you destroyed it." "No." Caelan's voice was barely audible. "It destroyed itself because its purpose was already complete." The woman screamed. The entire mountain answered. A wave of black energy exploded outward. Rowan was thrown across the chamber.

Lucas stood with the doctor and heard what he had to say and did what he'd learned to do with information that needed processing — he held it away from himself, kept it at arm's length, let it be true from a distance until he had somewhere to put it. Split bond, the doctor said. I've read about it. Never seen it until now. He explained it carefully, without softening it — the fracture, the incompletion, the way it had nowhere to go and had gone instead into the child's body. The cardiac symptoms were real. They just weren't the origin. Lucas counted his own heartbeat. Four. Five. Slow. If the bond completes, the doctor said, the fracture heals. The condition resolves. And if it doesn't.
