All Chapters of BOUND TO THE RUTHLESS ALPHA : Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Soraya's POVHis arm was still around my waist, the other resting on my lower back. His heartbeat was steady and rhythmic beneath me, almost enough to lull me back to sleep right there.For a moment, I just stayed there, listening, enjoying the feeling.But then, the faint sound of footsteps echoed from the hallway outside. Someone was passing by. My eyes flew open.I jolted back instantly, heat flooding my face. “Um, you have to eat,” I said quickly, my voice a little too high.He chuckled softly, his eyes glinting with amusement. “Right.”He finally sat up, still smiling, and I scrambled to my feet.“I…I should get dressed for school,” I stammered, avoiding his gaze. “Enjoy your breakfast.”“Hm,” he hummed, already reaching for the bread. I saw him take a bite, still watching me with that beautiful smile on his face.I turned around fast before my face turn as red as a tomato. The moment I stepped out of the room, cool air hit my skin, and I exhaled shakily. My cheeks were burning.

Darius’ POVI sat in my chair while two men in suits sat before me. One was my legal advisor—Sean, while the other was my right-hand man—Eli, who helped me with information concerning the Patriarch.Of course, Sam and Dante were here earlier, but they had left to get something.Eli had just given me some information that I couldn’t quite understand, but I was eager to know more about it because it had to do with the Patriarch.“So, what is this you’re saying?” I asked him.“Well, Alpha,” Eli began, “according to all the information we have gathered, it seems the Patriarch is currently in Westley City.”I raised a brow. “Westley City?”“Yes,” he replied.“Are you sure about this?” I asked again.“Yes, Alpha,” he said. “We collected evidence and information. You can take a look.”I stared at him, trying to process what I’d just heard. For nine long years, I’d been looking for that bastard but haven't been able to find him, let alone catch him. And now, if this man was sure he was in Wes

Darius' POVThe alarm hadn’t even gone off yet when I opened my eyes. 5:47 a.m glowed faintly on my phone screen. I sat up, rubbed my face, and exhaled. Today was the day.I got out of bed and stepped into the shower. The water was cold, but it did the job to clear my head. We had to meet at the airport, take the first flight out to Westley City, and be there before sunrise if everything was going to fall into place perfectly. As the water ran down my face, my thoughts drifted to Soraya. She hadn’t liked the idea of me going, not one bit. She’d tried to convince me there were other safer ways, and I’d refused. I could still picture the worry in her eyes. I hated that she was upset, I hated seeing her unhappy but she couldn’t understand, not fully.This wasn’t something I could ignore. The Patriarch had to be ended, once and for all. Only then would I have peace. It had been my mission for years, my father’s unfinished battle, my mother’s wish. I’d already told her I was going, and sh

Soraya's POVIt had been five days since Darius left and since I last saw him or even heard from him. I’d been trying to call, but it never went through. I even told Mrs. Opaline, and she’d tried calling too, but no luck. Nothing. I was worried sick. Every night, I had dreams about him and if that wasn’t bad enough, that dream had returned. The one with the wolf in the cage. It kept growling at me. I always woke up drenched in sweat, heart pounding, and the tattoo on my wrist glowing faintly in the dark. I didn’t even understand what was happening anymore.Now I was in school, walking down the stairs, half lost in thought. I barely noticed the people around me or the fact that everyone was busy decorating the building with balloons, ribbons, and paper hearts everywhere. I’d heard there was going to be some sort of celebration a few days after Valentine’s day. It wasn't exactly for Valentine’s, but for the school’s anniversary. Apparently, the school was turning five, and everyone w

Soraya's POVThat morning, I stepped out of the car and walked into the school premises. The place was noisier than usual, filled with laughter and excited voices. Probably because it was Valentine’s day.I sighed quietly, bracing myself for whatever chaos I was about to see today. Red ribbons and pink decorations hung around the gates and hallways, and bits of confetti were scattered on the ground. I knew this wasn’t the school’s doing. The school’s fifth-year anniversary was in two days, and they’d decided to combine both celebrations. So all this had to be the students’ own Valentine’s surprises.But honestly, I wasn’t in the mood for any of it. Not when I was still worried sick about Darius.As I stepped into the hallway, a girl nearly ran into me. She was running, squealing with excitement, holding a bouquet of balloons and a couple of gift boxes. “I love you so much!” she said, throwing her arms around the guy waiting at the corner.“I love you too,” he said, grinning as he hugg
