Bound To The Broken Alpha

Chapter 331 Undercover

SELENE

I had been in Lelo for six weeks.

Finished

Six long weeks of pretending I was just another consultant handling infrastructure audits and land–use permits for a mid–tier park that barely registered on the map. No guards. No title. No one bowed their head or lowered their voice when I walked past.

My father called it “keeping me safe.”

I called it exile.

I sat at the long table in the temporary operations office staring at the same project file I’d already reviewed three times that morning. The numbers were clean.

The land surveys were fine. The security upgrade proposal was basic but functional.

Nothing was wrong.

Which was the problem.

I pushed my chair back and stood. The office smelled like paper and recycled air. Too quiet. Too normal.

“Selene?” one of the coordinators asked. “Is there an issue with the western access point?”

“No,” I said. “Everything’s fine.”

He nodded, relieved, and went back to his screen.

I grabbed my jacket.

“Are you heading out for the day?” another staff member asked.

“Yes.”

It was barely noon.

I left the building and stepped into the open courtyard. The park was calm. Too calm. Patrols moved at regular intervals. Wolves laughed near the training field. No tension in the air. No edge.

My father hadn’t sent me here to manage a project.

He sent me here to keep me out of the way,

I got in my car and drove without thinking about it too hard. If I did, I might talk myself out of it.

By nightfall, I was crossing back into the southern territory.

The land felt different almost immediately. Heavier. Charged. My wolf stirred under my skin, alert and restless. This was home, whether he liked it or not.

The manor lights were on when I pulled in.

That surprised me.

I expected quiet. Maybe a few guards. Not full illumination.

I walked in through the main doors without announcing myself. The guards stiffened but didn’t stop me. They knew better than to try.

My father’s voice carried from the inner hall.

“…timing matters,” he was saying. “You don’t rush this.”

I stepped into the room.

“Funny,” I said. “You didn’t seem worried about timing when you sent me away.”

He turned slowly.

His expression went from surprise to irritation in seconds.

“What are you doing here?” he asked.

“I live here.”

“You were told not to return.”

“I was told not to return until it was safe,” I replied. “You didn’t say I wasn’t allowed to think for myself.”

“This isn’t a discussion.”

“It is now.”

He dismissed the guards with a look. They cleared the room quickly.

“You disobeyed a direct instruction,” he said.

“You hid something from me,” I shot back. “Which means you don’t trust me. Which means you don’t see me as an asset anymore.”

He crossed his arms.

“You’re emotional.”

I laughed once. Short and sharp.

“I’ve been handling your projects since I was eighteen.”

“And

you

let personal feelings cloud your judgment.”

“That’s rich,”

“You don’t see the full board,” he said. “You react.”

“I adapt,” I said. “You just don’t like that I ask questions.”

He stepped closer.

“This is exactly why I needed you out of the territory.”

“Because I won’t sit quietly while you make deals in the dark?”

Before he could answer, the door behind him opened.

I smelled Elias before I saw him.

Clean. Controlled. His wolf muted in a way that felt wrong. He looked rested. Well–fed. Dressed like he belonged here.

He stopped when he saw me.

“Well,” he said. “This is unexpected.”

My father didn’t turn.

“So this is it,” I said. “You sent me away to make room for him.”

“That’s not-

“Don’t insult me,” I snapped. “I’m not blind.”

Elias watched us with interest, like he was studying a board position.

“You replaced me,” I said to my father. “With him.”

“You were becoming a liability,” he replied flatly.

My chest tightened.

“Because I questioned you?”

“Because you think with your heart,” he said. “And this requires precision.”

I looked at Elias.

“And you think he’s precise?”

Elias smiled faintly.

“I think strategically,” he said. “Emotion complicates outcomes.”

I stepped toward him before I could stop myself.

“You don’t belong here.”

“This isn’t your call,” my father said.

“It should be,” I said. “You taught me everything. Or was that just until I stopped agreeing with you?”

He exhaled slowly.

“This plan needs discipline,” he said. “Not sentiment.”

“And you think I’m sentimental because I don’t want to tear packs apart?”

“You hesitate,” he replied. “He doesn’t.”

I looked back at Elias.

“So that’s why you told me to leave,” I said. “So you could bring him in without resistance.”

“Correct.”

The word hit harder than I expected.

“You chose him over me.”

“I chose results.”

Elias stepped forward.

“With respect,” he said, “this isn’t personal.”
