Bound To The Broken Alpha (Amy and Daniel) novel Chapter 190

Chapter 190 Fraternal Twins

AMY

I took a few minutes alone in the hallway before entering the room. I needed my head clear, not shaking like someone who couldn’t handle her own history. I’d cried enough in my life over things I didn’t cause and this wasn’t going to be added to the pile. I inhaled, squared my shoulders, wiped my eyes, and repeated in my mind: clarity over panic, control over emotions.

When I walked in, Daniel was sitting at the edge of the bed as if he already sensed I wasn’t fine. His eyes lifted immediately, scanning my face.

“I’m ready to talk,” I said while closing the door behind me.

He nodded once. “Come here.”

I walked to him, and before I even sat, he held out his hand. I placed mine into his and it felt warm. For a second, I thought I might actually start shaking, but I didn’t.

“I found something out,” I began. “It sounds insane, but it’s true. And I need you to hear it without reacting first.”

“I’m listening,” he replied. No judgement, no impatience.

I explained everything–Marielle’s confession, Clara being my twin, Selene’s involvement, and how it all tied back to my biological roots. I didn’t sugarcoat anything. When I finished, Daniel didn’t say a word for a moment. He just looked at me, thumb brushing lightly across my knuckles.

“You’re not responsible for the secrets other people buried,” he finally said. “And you don’t owe anyone an apology for where you come from. This changes nothing between us.”

“You’re taking it better than I expected.”

“I meant every word I gave you. Loyalty isn’t assigned by bloodlines. A person earns their value through character, actions, and choice. Biology is paperwork. Trust is currency.”

I let out a deep breath, feeling the pressure in my chest loosen a little. “I was scared this would put another crack in things we’re barely holding together. We already have enough pressure.”

“There’s no crack,” he said. “And if anyone thinks they can use this against you, they’ll meet me first.”

I nodded, finally feeling like the floor under me wasn’t tilting anymore. “We need to tell your mother. She deserves to hear it directly.”

“We will,” he agreed. “And we’ll handle it as a united front/

Mrs Carter didn’t know anything was coming when it was dinner time. The dining room was warm, quiet, and almost too calm for what I was about to lay on the table. She walked in with her usual composed confidence, her hair neatly pinned and her expression sharp but calm. Daniel pulled out her chair, and I sat across from her. She poured some water, took a sip, and looked between us.

“Something is going on,” she concluded before we could even start. “Either tell me now or eat first and tell me later, but my instinct prefers the first option.”

Chapter 190 Freten Toma

“We’ll talk. I said, keeping my voice flat. No dramatics, no suspense, no emotional explosion, just the truth.

She leaned back slightly, giving me permission to go ahead

* confirmed today that Clara isn’t just my enemy. She’s my fraternal twin. Selene is my half–sister. All three. of us are South Alpha bloodline descendants. I wasn’t adopted randomly or by accident. I was hidden.

Daniel didn’t interrupt.

Mrs Carter didn’t blink for a moment. It was the first time I’d ever seen her mind freeze. Her lips parted slightly, not in shock that made her lose control, but in shock that demanded instant recalculation.

“Fraternal twin?” she repeated slowly.

“Yes”

“And Selene?”

“Half–sister.”

She placed both her elbows lightly on the table, fingers touching as she processed. “South Alpha bloodline is

a major political asset. This information, if public, isn’t just personal… it’s territorial.”

“That’s exactly the problem,” I replied. “And Clara is unstable enough to use it as leverage.”

Mrs Carter exhaled, “No wonder Selene got involved with corporate sabotage. It wasn’t revenge alone, it was positioning.”

Daniel spoke next. “Elías probably knew. He might have been counting on it, maybe even planning to negotiate with it. Especially with all the power plays surrounding Carter Holdings.”

Mrs Carter’s eyes narrowed slightly. “If the South Council becomes aware of Amy’s survival and her affiliation with this family, we could see claim disputes, marital interference demands, and territorial rights hearings.”

“In short,” I said, “chaos.”

“Not just chaos,” she corrected. “Political war masked as tradition. And enemies waiting to exploit either

outcome.”

I tapped my fingers lightly against the table. “The only way we stay ahead is by acting fast and staying quiet. Clara hasn’t made her move openly yet, which means she’s waiting for an advantage.”

Mrs Carter nodded. “I want to meet Marielle privately. I need to confirm the legitimacy and full scope of the bloodline and what risks tie back to Carter Holdings. If this leaks to the Council, it won’t be gossip, it will be handled as a strategic claim.”

“That’s fair,” I replied. “She’ll cooperate.”

Daniel leaned forward slightly. “No matter what, Amy stays protected and her place here doesn’t change.”

His mother met his gaze. “She is not leaving. That is final. Bloodline or not, she is a Carter by marriage, decision and contribution.”

I nodded. “I don’t want to wait for fallout. We need to be proactive. The longer Clara las silence, the more room she gets to design her move.”

“I agree,” Mrs Carter said. “From tonight forward, all private information about you becomes sealed. No casual discussions, no staff whispers, no digital traces.”

Daniel added, “I’ll inform the private security division and Marcus. Only vetted personnel stay active around us.”

Mrs Carter stood slowly. “After dinner, I’ll contact legal and cybersecurity. Headquarters will receive a confidentiality lockdown. Nobody speaks without clearance. If anyone talks, they will be dealt with legally and internally.”

I placed my palms flat on the table and spoke quietly, “We are going to finish this, and Clara won’t get the upper hand.”

This wasn’t just family history anymore.It was war declared quietly.
