All Chapters of Bound To The Cruel Alphas (SPICY): Chapter 191 - Chapter 200

ZANA'S POVThe moment the ceiling started falling, everyone ran.Pure chaos exploded around us. Huge chunks of stone crashed from above, shattering against the floor and sending clouds of dust into the air. "Move!" Cael shouted.His voice barely carried over the deafening noise.Students ran through the broken corridors. Some were injured. Others were helping their teammates stay on their feet. The panic was spreading faster than the destruction itself.I forced myself to focus.My Lunae mark was glowing brighter than ever.The power that had awakened inside me felt different now. It wasn't wild anymore. It wasn't confusing. It felt familiar, almost like it had always been part of me.The silver light flowed through my veins.My wolf lifted her head proudly."Guide them," she said.I didn't know exactly how to use this power yet, but instinct took over.I stretched my hand forward.Silver light spread from my fingertips and raced through the corridor ahead of us. The glowing energy

ZANA'S POVThe next morning felt strangely quiet.After everything that had happened in the maze, I’d expected the academy to feel normal again once the danger was over.Instead, everything felt different. Students stared when I walked through the halls. Pack members lowered their voices when I passed. Even the air felt heavier somehow.Everyone knew.Everyone knew I was the Lunae heir.My wolf stirred uneasily inside me. She didn't like the attention. Honestly, neither did I.By the time I reached the private meeting room to meet up with my friends as planned, my stomach was already tied into knots. I pushed open the door and found everyone waiting inside.Percy sat on top of a desk. Darren leaned against the wall. Ken stood beside the window with his arms crossed. Jessie and Sarah occupied one of the couches. Cael sat in a chair near the center of the room.The moment I stepped inside, every pair of eyes turned toward me.My wolf immediately became alert, not because she sensed dang

ZANA’S POVI laughed again. Even my wolf howled happily inside me.The tension eased slightly….only slightly. Beneath the teasing, I could still feel how frightened they had been. Their emotions were moving fast through the bond.I looked at all three of them, then I became serious again."You broke tournament rules." I said.The more I thought of it, the more emotional I became.Three princes broke tournament rules because of me. Also, they did it in front of their dad, not minding the consequences.That was care in its purest form. No one had ever risked it all for me like that, except my father.I swallowed "You risked everything for me "Darren looked confused "As opposed to what?"I blinked in shock.As opposed to many things. I was practically the enemy. They could have let me die in there to please their father.He frowned "Zana, you were trapped inside a collapsing death maze."His tone suggested the answer should be obvious."What exactly were we supposed to do?""Follow the

DARREN’S POVFate clearly had a strange sense of humor.Finding Caden wasn't difficult. He was exactly where I expected him to be.The western training yard remained open long after most students had gone to sleep. Several magical lanterns cast pale light across the empty practice grounds, and the sound of wooden practice swords echoed softly through the night.Caden was training alone.Sweat covered his forehead as he drove his sword through another series of precise movements.His wolf was close beneath his skin, making every strike faster and stronger than an ordinary human could manage.He noticed me almost immediately. His eyebrows lifted in surprise when he saw me."Well." He said to me. He rested the wooden sword across one shoulder. "This is unexpected."I almost laughed bitterly.Trust me, I don’t want to be here. I know you have feelings for my girl and it’s taking every self restraint for me not to punch you in the face.I walked down till I was in front of him."We need to

ZANA'S POVThe academy didn't feel like the same place anymore.The moment I stepped out of the dormitory the next morning, dozens of conversations stopped all at once. It wasn't loud silence either. It was the kind of silence that made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. My wolf immediately lifted her head inside me, alert and uneasy. Every instinct she had told her we were being watched.She was right.Students filled the stone pathways leading across the academy grounds, but instead of hurrying to their morning classes, almost every pair of eyes found me. Some stared openly without even pretending to hide it. Others whispered behind raised hands. A few simply lowered their heads as I walked past.I hated it.Just yesterday, many of these same students had looked at me with suspicion because I had come from a rogue background. Some had laughed behind my back. Some had questioned whether I even deserved to study at the academy. Now they looked at me as if I were something comp
