All Chapters of Bound to the Rogue Alpha 2: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Madison fixed her eyes on him through a drunken haze; his form was bloated and thick with fat, his face slick with grease, and a heavy collar of crude copper links jingled around his throat. Her stomach heaved with an intense desire to vomit, but the alcohol had left her limbs feeling like lead. As the other two drifters crowded the mouth of the booth, closing off her escape, a sudden panic pierced through her intoxication. She scanned the rowdy tavern, seeking a senior enforcer or a sympathetic gaze, but the local patrons deliberately turned their faces away, refusing to entangle their wolves in a slum skirmish. Just as the lead brute extended his claws to clamp down on her wrist a second time, a she-wolf of staggering authority stepped out from the shadows of the corridor."How dare your pathetic hides harass my sister?! If your paws are not clear of this booth before my breath leaves my jaws, I will summon the High Council Vanguard to execute your entire pack for border violations!

“Contact the watchtower immediately. Something is wrong with the leather straps on harness zero-eight!”“I am on it, Delta!”I couldn't jump. I frozen at the edge of the wooden cliff, staring down at the jagged rocks of the ravine that looked smaller and smaller from this height. My chest heaved, horror seizing my throat, but beside me, Paige Collins covered her mouth, her eyes gleaming with a strange, frantic excitement.The valley floor rushed up to meet us.I squeezed my eyes shut, feeling the heavy thud of my heart as if my inner wolf was already preparing for death.“Hold on to me!” our pack trainer growled, his teeth bared as he fought the high-altitude winds. He had survived border skirmishes and mountain drops for decades; his instincts were pure alpha grit. He yanked hard on the tangled, shredded leather of the failing glider wing, desperately trying to alter our trajectory.“Look ahead!” he roared over the whistling wind. “There is a thick canopy of pine trees near the borde

“The fact that our shared pack bond gives that Omega room to foster such deep resentment is what worries me. What are your intentions now, Richard?” Logan did not break his silence for a long time, the shadows of the room playing across his features before he finally spoke. “Since the situation has devolved to this point, what is your next play? Are you going to keep shielding Paige Collins?”Evelyn Lawson turned her gaze directly toward me, her eyes tight. “I intend to confront Paige Collins myself and demand to know why she kept the knowledge of that severed leather strap from Brooke.” She clearly still maintained a shred of faith in the girl she had sponsored for so many years.“This treachery demands a full tribunal,” I muttered, my lips pressed into a rigid line. My tone remained low, but the absolute coldness in my eyes made my father shift uncomfortably. “If the scent tracks back to Paige Collins unmistakably, she will face the pack laws.”Paige Collins had broken down in hyste

The elder healer ran a brief diagnostic rune over my skin, sniffing the air before tracking the pulse in my throat. He declared that my core alignment was structurally sound and concluded that the sudden swoon had merely been triggered by a temporary dip in my wolf's blood-sugar levels.Once the old male cleared the threshold and left the ward, Elizabeth turned to me, her voice ringing with uncharacteristic sincerity. “Was your inner wolf failing because you refused the morning ration? Taste the wild fowl broth. Or I can run to the lower market squares and secure a different cut of meat if the fowl offends your senses.”Elizabeth ladled a steaming portion of the soup from the stone container, offering the wooden bowl to my hands.Her features remained as rigid and expressionless as ever, but her scent carried a profound, undeniable honesty. After offering the meat, she reached for her leather tracking pouch, preparing to sprint out into the Citadel streets to fetch another meal.I rea

“Who in the world managed to provoke your inner wolf to this extreme?”I dropped my satchel onto the counter and made my way straight into the kitchen, intending to assist him with the carcass. The moment I stepped under the archway, I caught the absolute fury radiating from Logan’s features. His jaw was clenched so tightly the muscles in his neck were straining against his collar.Logan pursed his lips into a rigid line, his golden eyes locking onto mine with a predatory heat that made my skin prickle.Letting out a long, heavy sigh of frustration, I crossed my arms. “So what crime has my scent committed now, Alpha?”Logan cocked a single dark eyebrow, letting out a sharp, mocking snort through his nose. At the very least, my wolf was perceptive enough to recognize when his possessive instincts had been pushed to the edge.“Tell me, Brooke,” he growled, the vibration rattling the copper pots hanging above the hearth. “What exactly is transpirating within the shadows between your wolf
