Bound To The Broken Alpha (Amy and Daniel) novel Chapter 191

Chapter 191 Assumptions And Rumors

DANIEL

I closed the door to my office at Carter Holdings, the low hum of the building fading behind us. Amy sar across from me, while Cole leaned casually against the wall, arms crossed.

My mother took her usual seat at the far end of the table, her expression unreadable but attentive. Two analysts I had requested were set up with encrypted laptops, ready to comb through the South Council’s communications, Selene’s movements, and Clara’s recent patterns.

“We run this quietly,” I began, my voice firm. “No one outside this room sees these reports until we’ve analyzed every detail. I don’t want leaks.” I glanced at Amy, noting her silent nod, then Cole, who simply raised an eyebrow.

“Understood,” Cole said. “We keep this tight. But what if Clara finds out Amy is her twin before we’re ready?” His tone wasn’t alarmed, just practical.

“That’s exactly what worries me,” I admitted. “If she gets even a hint before we control the narrative, she’ll act first–politically, socially, or financially. Selene will exploit it too if given a chance.”

Amy shifted in her chair. “We have to be proactive, but we can’t rush Marielle. She’s still recovering, and pushing her for full documentation now could backfire.”

I nodded, appreciating her judgment. “Good point. Marielle comes first. That said, we need full intel on Clara and Selene. Every communication, every movement–they can’t have the first advantage.”

Mrs. Carter spoke up, her voice calm but firm. “From a corporate standpoint, this bloodline information is explosive. If Amy’s confirmed as South Alpha blood, there could be territorial inheritance claims. That’s a legal and political risk we can’t underestimate. The South Council won’t sit quietly if she’s recognized officially.”

“I know,” I replied. “Which is why we need a silent approach for now. Cole, I want you to contact our spy again. I need verified timelines, their motives, and any links to Elias. No assumptions, no rumors.”

Cole nodded, already pulling out his secure device. “I’ll reach out immediately. We’ll have intel within hours if the network is clean.”

Amy leaned forward. “We also need to anticipate how Clara might react. If she suspects there’s a missing piece or anything confirming Amy’s existence, she’ll move quickly. We can’t wait for her to act first. That means gathering evidence, tracing her communications, and ensuring the South Council can’t use any fragment against us.”

I gestured to the analysts. “Begin your tracing now. Prioritize Clara’s direct contacts, any authorizations requested, and her communication logs over the last six months. Every detail counts.”

One of the analysts looked up. “Sir, should we also flag Selene’s social circles? Her influence might extend beyond direct communications.”

“Yes,” I said. “Everything Selene touches could lead back to a strategic move against Amy or Carter Holdings. Track everything discreetly. We’re not going public yet.”

Cole interjected. “Should we confront Marielle again for complete proof like legal documents, South

Council recognition, blood verification?”

Amy shook her head. “Not yet. She’s still weak. Any pressure now could compromise her health. We’ll use the intelligence we gather remotely and wait until she’s fully recovered to formalize everyding

Mrs. Carter nodded in agreement. “From a corporate perspective, we need to prepare contingencies. If Amy’s South Alpha status is revealed publicly, competitors or even internal factions could exploit it. Tight control over internal communications is essential.

I leaned back, taking a moment to let the room absorb the strategy. “Agreed. Everything stays within this circle. Analysts, your reports go directly to me and Amy. Cole, coordinate with the spy. No one else sees anything.”

At that moment, an encrypted alert pinged on my secure terminal. I opened it immediately, scanning the brief but critical message. Clara had contacted someone in the South and requested travel clearance. My stomach tightened slightly, though I kept my expression neutral.

“They’re moving,” I said, breaking the silence. “Clara might already suspect something is missing and is trying to confirm it herself.”

Amy’s gaze hardened. “Then we need to act before she has any proof. Waiting will give her the first advantage, and she will use it.”

Cole’s voice was calm. “We should anticipate her next moves–routes, contacts, possible witnesses she might pull into her orbit.”

“Exactly,” I said. “This is a race. But we control the pace. We don’t panic. We prepare, we anticipate, and we move strategically.”

Mrs. Carter leaned forward. “And on the corporate side, the company remains our first line of defense. Any leaks or manipulations, we neutralize quietly. Public perception stays controlled.”

Amy looked at me and then at Mrs. Carter. “We need synchronized action. Pack security and corporate defense must run simultaneously. Any misalignment and they’ll exploit it.”

I nodded, squeezing her hand briefly. “Then that’s our plan. Synchronized, controlled, and silent. No emotional reactions, no public exposure until we’re ready.”

Amy exhaled slowly. “I’ll start coordinating the corporate measures immediately. Secure digital access, restrict external communications, and ensure any internal irregularities are flagged to me first.”

“I’ll handle the pack surveillance,” I said. “Cole will monitor movement, routes, and communications. We’ll have constant updates.”

Mrs. Carter finally spoke. “Good. Keep me informed, but let’s make sure the internal review remains discreet. If anyone outside this room knows, it’s already too late.”

I looked at Amy. “We do this together. Same page, same strategy. No one outside our team takes control.”

She nodded, her focus unwavering. “Understood. And I’ll make sure the corporate side is airtight. No access, no exposure, until we confirm every detail.”

The analysts returned with the first batch of initial traces, already encrypted and ready for review. I instructed Amy to stay with me while we went through them carefully, noting patterns and potential risks.

Chapter 191 Assumptions And Rumors

Every movement of Clara and Selene was cross–checked with Elias’s known network.

Cole relayed updates from the spy, detailing communications and indirect contacts between Clara and the South. Each entry confirmed our suspicions–both girls were gathering information, testing loyalty, and potentially preparing moves to exploit Amy’s identity.

Amy tightened her jaw slightly. “We can’t wait. I’ll need approval to start preemptive measures–digital lockdown, route monitoring, and legal preparation.”

“Approved,” I said. “Do what you need. I’ll make sure Cole has authority to act within pack measures. And mum, you’re in charge of board oversight quietly.”
