Bound To The Broken Alpha (Amy and Daniel) novel Chapter 179

Chapter 179 Fast Movements

AMY

The kind of man no one paid attention to. Too quiet, too compliant. But his emails told another story. He’d been sending encrypted updates to an address tied to Clara’s old network.

When Cole confronted him, the man broke fast. Years of guilt or fear and maybe both poured out.

“They said they’d kill my family,” he told him, voice shaking. “I didn’t want to help them, I swear. But if I didn’t-”

Cole tried to press for more, but before Lewis could reveal who “they” were, he bolted. They found him that night slumped behind the wheel of his car, engine still running. No sign of struggle. Just silence and the kind that feels too perfect to be coincidence.

When Cole called to tell me, I felt a cold wave roll through me. “She’s cleaning her trail up,” I said.

“Yeah,” he replied. “And she’s not done.”

Meanwhile, Selene had started playing her own game. She began feeding Clara information of half–truths, rumors, fabricated reports about internal operations. On the surface, it looked like betrayal. But she slipped word through Brian that she was only pretending to align with Clara to keep her close.

I wanted to believe that. But Selene wasn’t exactly trustworthy. Every alliance with her came with a stab. Still, I didn’t have the luxury of refusing intel, even if it came from a viper.

One night, Brian met me outside the estate library, voice low. “Selene says Clara’s next move isn’t financial. She’s targeting physical assets.”

I frowned. “Warehouses?”

He nodded. “She didn’t say which, but… she’s moving fast.”

I didn’t realize how fast until it was too late.

Just after midnight, the phone on my bedside table started buzzing. I turned to check and saw Cole’s name fash on the screen.

“Where?” I answered immediately.

“Regional depot. East sector. There was an explosion.”

For a second, I couldn’t process it. “What do you mean explosion?”

“It’s gone, Amy. The whole building. Fire’s already reached the shipment yard.”

My chest tightened. That depot stored more than inventory – it held company records, distribution maps, supply contracts. Everything Elias would need to cripple us completely and not have pinning evidence against him.

Daniel stormed into the room moments later, half–dressed, phone in hand. “You heard?”

Finished Cole’s voice came through the line again, harsh over the sirens in the background. “No survivors found yet. We’re still counting bodies.”

The rest of the night was terribly restless. We were yet to hear from the spy Daniel had sent to the south to help find anything useful to help our course.

I woke up with a tight feeling in my chest, the kind that didn’t announce danger but warned me something was off. The room was quiet and the first thing my mind landed on was the spy Daniel had sent South. He hadn’t checked in. Not last night. Not this morning. That silence settled over me like a weight.

I pushed myself out of bed and headed to the study, hoping distraction would calm me down. It didn’t. I kept checking my phone every few minutes, even though I knew it wouldn’t magically solve anything.

Daniel walked in a few minutes later with a tray in his hands. Breakfast. He set it down without pushing me to eat and sat beside me instead.

“You didn’t sleep,” he said.

“Neither did you.”

He gave a small shrug. “You were restless. And the spy still hasn’t called.”

I nodded. “Something’s wrong.”

“But we don’t react until we know what we’re reacting to,” he said. His voice was steady, not dismissive. “We stay calm.”

That was what surprised me most these days, how solid we had become in the middle of everything falling apart. We didn’t agree on every strategy. We argued. But the ground between us stayed firm.

Before either of us could reach for coffee, Daniel’s phone rang.

Both of us went still.

He answered immediately. “Where the hell have you been?”

A distorted voice came through the speaker. “You’re on speaker?” the spy asked.

Daniel glanced at me. “Yes.”

“I need her to hear it anyway,” the spy said.

That wasn’t reassuring, but I leaned forward.

“What happened?” I asked.

There was a rustling sound on the other end, like he was hiding somewhere. “I found something in the South. I couldn’t send it until I cleared my tracks.”

Daniel stiffened beside me. “Just tell us.”

“It’s about Selene,” the spy said. “You need to prepare yourself.”

I didn’t flinch. “Say it.”

Finished

“I traced her movements. Her alliances. And a DNA file she’s been hiding. It links her to the Southern Alpha. Your father.”

I sat back slowly, trying to make sense of the words. Selene. My father. My bloodline. All wrapped in a connection I had never imagined.
