Bound To The Broken Alpha (Amy and Daniel) novel Chapter 324

Chapter 324 Alpha Born

ELIAS

I woke up again on cold stone.

That part hadn’t changed.

What had changed was how wrong I felt inside my own body.

Finished

I sat up slowly, testing myself the way I always did. My muscles responded, but they felt dull. Heavy. When I tried to reach for my wolf, there was nothing waiting for me. No growl. No tension. No heat under my skin.

Just silence.

It scared me more than the chains ever could.

I stood and crossed the small cell, gripping the bars. The metal was thick, old, reinforced with something I didn’t recognize. I’d tried bending it before. Tried shifting. I tried tearing through it.

Nothing worked.

I had no sense of time. No day or night. No scent trails. Whoever put me here knew exactly how to keep a wolf blind.

Footsteps echoed down the corridor.

I felt it before I saw him. The pressure. The authority. The weight of an Alpha entering territory that was undeniably his.

I straightened instinctively.

The Southern Alpha

stopped outside my cell.

He looked calm. Too calm. Dark clothes.

Ontrolled posture. His scent filled the corridor, thick with

dominance and something colder underneath it. Calculation.

“So,” he said, voice even. “You’re awake.”

I lunged at the bars.

The reaction was instinct. Rage. Humiliation. I slammed my hands into the metal, snarling. “What did you

do to me?”

He didn’t flinch.

I tried again, pushing harder, calling my wolf the way I always had. Nothing answered. My chest tightened.

I felt human.

Too human.

The Southern Alpha tilted his head slightly, studying me like I was a problem to be solved. “You’re not dead. That should count for something.”

I growled and reached for him again, this time with everything I had left. He moved.

I barely saw it.

Finished

One second he was standing there. The next, his hand was on the bars, palm flat, and the force of his dominance slammed into me. My knees buckled. Pain shot through my spine, sharp and immediate.

I hit the floor.

That alone told me everything.

I stared up at him, breathing hard. “You did something to my wolf,” I said. It wasn’t a question.

“Yes.”

The word landed clean and final.

I pushed myself up, fury burning through me. “Undo it

He watched me with mild interest. “No.”

I laughed, sharp and humorless. “You think you can keep me like this forever?”

He stepped closer to the bars. “Yes.”

That made my chest tighten again. “How?” I demanded. I’m Alpha–born. You don’t just take that away.”

His mouth curved slightly. Not a smile. “You forget something.”

I glared at him.

“I’m Alpha–born too,” he said calmly.

The words hit harder than any blow.

I stared at him, really looking this time. The control. The precision. The way his wolf didn’t leak dominance -it held it tight. That wasn’t a weakness. Tha

was discipline.

“You think being Alpha means you’re untouchable,” he continued. “It doesn’t. It means you’re dangerous when you’re allowed to run free.”

My hands curled into fists. “You drugged me.”

“No.”

“You cursed me.”

“No.”

“Then what?” I snapped.

“I subdued your wolf,” he said. “Not killed. Not removed Restrained.”

My stomach turned. “Only witches can-”

He cut me off. “Only fools think power comes from one source.”

Chapter 324 Alpha Born

Silence filled the corridor.

Finished

I tested myself again, reaching inward. Still nothing. My wolf was there–I could sense it faintly–but it was trapped. Pressed down. Muzzled.

“Only I can undo it,” he added.

Rage surged. I rushed the bars again, snarling, teeth bared. “When I get out of here-‘

“You won’t,” he said, still calm, “unless I let you.”

I froze.

He studied my face, then nodded once. “Good. You’re listening now.”

I swallowed, forcing myself to stand straight despite the tremor in my legs. “Why am I here?”

He met my eyes directly. “Because I need you.”

I barked a short laugh. “You need a prisoner?”

“I need a right–hand man.”

The words didn’t register at first.

Then they did.

I stared at him. “You locked me in a cell, stripped my wolf, and now you want loyalty?”

“You misunderstand,” he said. “I didn’t do this to punish you. I did it to stop you.”

“From what?” I snappe

“From ruining useful plans.”

I shook my head slowly. “You don’t want a right–hand man. You want a lap dog.”

His eyes narrowed just slightly. “If that’s how you want to frame it.”

That was answer enough.

I stepped back, chest heaving. “You’re insane.”

He shrugged. “Maybe. But I’m also winning.”

I glared at him. “What do you want from me?”

He didn’t answer immediately. Instead, he turned slightly, as if considering the corridor beyond the cell. “Before I tell you anything, you need to agree.”

“Agree to what?”

“To serve as my right hand.”

I laughed again, louder this time. “And if I don’t?”

He looked back at me. His gaze was flat. “Then you stay here.”

“For how long?”

“A century,” he said. “Two. Time passes differently when you’re contained.”

My jaw clenched.

“You won’t age much,” he added. “Your wolf will keep you alive. Just quiet. Just… present.”

The image made my skin crawl.

He stepped away from the bars. “Think about it. When you’re ready to answer, signal.”

“How?” I demanded.

He glanced over his shoulder. “You’ll figure it out.”

Then he walked away.

His footsteps faded.

The silence returned.

Finished

I stood there long after he left, staring at the empty corridor. My thoughts churned, sharp and chaotic. I tried to feel the outside world. Tried to sense territory lines. Nothing came.

I had no idea how long I’d been locked up.

No idea what was happening beyond these walls.

No idea who thought I was still pulling strings.

Anger burned hot and useless in my chest.

I slammed my fist into the wall.

Nothing answered.

I slid down slowly until I was sitting on the floor, head tilted back against the stone. My wolf stirred faintly, frustrated, restrained, alive but trapped.

Right–hand man.

Lab dog.

Rot for centuries.

I closed my eyes and breathed.

Whatever game the Southern Alpha was playing, he had the upper hand.

And I hated that the choice in front of me wasn’t simple defiance.

It was survival.
