Bound To The Broken Alpha (Amy and Daniel) novel Chapter 189

Chapter 189 A Promise To Keep

AMY

Marielle was finally stable after two full days of close monitoring. The private medical wing smelled clean and quiet. Two guards that Daniel trusted stood outside her door. They did not speak unless necessary, and I liked that because I was already tired of chaos. The doctor told me she could now hold a calm conversation without emotional damage, and I chose to visit immediately. I needed answers, not comfort.

I paused by the entrance and took a slow breath before walking in. She sat up in bed, her back slightly supported by pillows. Her face still looked weak, but her eyes were alert.

She tried to smile. “Amy, you are here.”

“Yes,” I said, pulling a chair closer. “The doctor said you could talk. I have questions. I need clear answers. No delays and no missing details.”

She nodded slowly. “I understand.”

I sat down. “First, I want to know the full truth about Clara.?”

There was no hesitation. “You and Clara are sisters.”

I stared at her. “By birth or adoption?”

“By birth,” she said. “You are biological sisters.”

I held her gaze. “Explain from the beginning. I want everything in order.”

She adjusted her breathing. “You and Clara were born on the same day. You are not identical, but you are twins.”

I blinked. “Twins?”

“Yes,” she whispered. “You were infants when everything changed. The South Council got involved. There was fear of scandals, inheritance fights, and leadership disputes. They believed the existence of twins would cause instability.”

I swallowed and kept my voice steady. “So they separated us?”

“Yes,” she said. “The South Council decided that only one child could remain in the South because of succession rules and that you were both an abomination because I was nothing but a mistress. Clara was taken away and placed in foster care with ties to the Council. You were secretly moved to the North to avoid attention and then I got you back. Sadly, you are missing. After years of searching, you were declared dead.”

I struggled to find words. “Did you support that decision?”

She shook her head, her voice weak. “No. I was forced out. I was unable to fight it. They told me I had no right to question the Alpha lineage system. They insisted I was a risk.”

I leaned back slightly, trying to process. “I lived my entire life not knowing I had a twin, and Clara lived her life without knowing I existed.”

She nodded. “That is correct.”

I pressed further. “Then tell me where Selene fits into this. She knew things before anyone else. Why is she

connected?”

Her expression tightened, and she exhaled with effort. “Selene is your half–sister. All three of you share the same father, but Selene has a different mother.”

My heartbeat increased. “So Selene is also a biological family?”

“Yes,” she said. “Your father had a legal mate. She gave birth to Selene. I came into your father’s life later, in private. My relationship with him was never approved by the Council.

My voice sounded unfamiliar to me. “So Selene had status, power, inheritance rights, and a legitimate title, while Clara and I were trashed?”

“That is the truth,” she said quietly.

“And she knew?” I asked.

“She knew many things,” Marielle replied. “She grew up close to Council members. She was trained to lead. She carried pride and entitlement from a young age. She always believed she deserved every position and recognition, but she never knew that she was the daughter of the southern alpha until a few weeks ago when she found me where I was hiding.”

The room felt colder. “She saw us as competition regardless.”

“Yes,” Marielle said. “For Selene, it got worse when she learned that not all of your father’s children

remained in the South. She felt betrayed. She believed you both were threats placed outside her reach.”

I rubbed my palm with my thumb, trying to stay grounded. “Clara and Selene working together makes no sense if they both felt abandoned.”

Marielle looked at me with tired eyes. “They are not stable in their loyalty. Their resentment grew from different directions. Selene is angry because she believes her birthright was challenged. Clara is angry because she grew up without belonging. They want recognition, but they do not trust each other: They are attached to each other by anger, not unity.”

I stared at the floor. “Did Clara know I was alive before you met?” I asked still trying to wrap my head around the whole thing

Marielle answered slowly. “She discovered fragments of the truth a few weeks ago. She did not know you were her twin. She was told you died as a toddler. She never looked deeper because she did not trust the Council enough to question them. She believed what she was told.”

“So none of us had the full truth,” I whispered.

“Correct,” she replied. “Everything was controlled by the South Council. They made decisions that shaped your lives without concern for emotional damage.”

I raised my head again. “Why not fight back when you escaped or gained freedom?”

She looked down. “I was injured, threatened, and isolated. When I tried to speak, I was silenced. I lived with the belief that you died. When I heard rumours that a girl in the North had similar birth records, I began

searching. That was when everything changed and I was captured again!

My hands slowly curled into fists, but I kept my tone neutral. “So Selene grew up knowing she was the legitimate one, while Clara grew up believing she was disposable, and I grew up thinking I was completely separate.”

“Yes,” she whispered.

Silence stretched between us. For the first time in a long time, my chest felt heavy in a way that was not fear. anger, or sadness. It was pure confusion and disbelief.

She looked at me, voice trembling. “I am sorry for everything you suffered. I wish I could undo it.”

I shook my head gently. “This is not about apologies anymore. This is about truth, accountability, and protection. I will protect you here, but I will not ignore any part of this story.”

She wiped a tear that slipped down her cheek. “Please do not let history repeat itself.”

“I won’t,” I said. “That is something I can promise.”

I stood up slowly. “Thank you for telling me. I will need time to process everything. I will also need to inform Daniel and Mrs Carter. Nothing stays hidden anymore.”
