Bound To The Broken Alpha (Amy and Daniel) novel Chapter 335

Chapter 335 The Rules

ELIAS

We left the underground space the same way we had entered it.

No closing speech. No ceremony. The kind of ending that told me this meeting wasn’t rare–it was routine,

The Alphas dispersed in small groups, their conversations low, their expressions set. Nobody looked shaken by what had been discussed. Nobody hesitated. That unsettled me more than the plan itself.

The Southern Alpha shifted first once we reached the outer tunnel. I followed, along with the guards. The run back through the forest felt longer, heavier.

My body moved easily now, but my mind lagged behind, trying to catch up with what I had agreed to be part of.

By the time we reached the SUV, the adrenaline had worn off.

The drive back was quiet.

No orders. No commentary. Just the road and the steady hum of the engine.

When the familiar borders of the park came into view, I felt something close to relief. It didn’t last.

We hadn’t even fully stopped when shouting broke through the stillness.

“Why didn’t you let me in?”

I recognized the voice immediately.

Selene.

She stood just beyond the security barrier, hair pulled back, hands clenched at her sides. Two guards blocked her path. Their posture was rigid, professional.

“You have no right,” she snapped. “Move.”

One of the guards replied evenly, “We’re acting on direct instruction.”

The SUV door opened. The Southern Alpha stepped out.

“They didn’t let you in because I told them not to,” he said.

Selene turned toward him, her face tight with anger. “You sent me away like I was a liability, she said. “Then you cut me off completely.”

“You were given clear instructions,” he replied.

She laughed once, sharp and bitter. “And now what? You think I’ll just disappear?”

He said nothing.

She stepped closer. “I’m not going anywhere,” she said. “Unless you plan to kill me yourself. That’s the only way you get rid of me for good.”

The guards shifted uneasily.

For a moment, I thought he might explode. His jaw tightened. His hands curled into fists.

But he didn’t move.

He looked at her the way someone looks at a problem they don’t know how to solve without breaking something important.

“Enough,” he said finally. “You’re coming in. But this is your last warning. You will not interfere. You will not question my decisions. You will not cause trouble.”

She held his gaze, breathing hard.

“I won’t promise silence,” she said.

“I didn’t ask for it,” he replied. “I asked for control.”

Then he turned and walked away.

Selene stood there for a second longer, then stepped past the guards. Her eyes flicked toward

1. me.

I started to follow the Southern Alpha.

Her hand shot out and grabbed my arm.

“Elias,” she said sharply. “Come here.”

I hesitated.

“Now,” she added.

I glanced toward her father’s retreating back. He didn’t look back.

I followed her to the side of the building, out of earshot.

“What is going on?” she demanded. “Why are you suddenly everywhere he is?”

I rubbed my jaw. “I wish I understood,” I said.

She scoffed. “Don’t lie to me.”

“I’m not,” I replied. “I’m following his lead. That’s all.”

Her eyes narrowed. “That’s not an answer.”

“It’s the only one I have.”

She crossed her arms. “Why is this happening?” she asked. “Why now?”

I exhaled slowly. “Ask him,” I said. “Ask him why he locked me in a dark cell for weeks. Then maybe I’ll have something useful to tell you.”

Her expression shifted. Shock flickered across her face.

“He did what?” she asked.

I met her gaze. “You heard me.”

She stared at me for a long moment. “He told me you were being protected.”

I almost laughed.

“He didn’t protect me,” I said. “He broke me down until I had no choice but to stand where he wanted.”

Silence settled between us.

Her voice dropped. “Why didn’t you fight him?”

“I did,” I said. “It didn’t matter.”

She shook her head slowly. “This doesn’t make sense.”

“Nothing about him does,” I replied.

She looked back toward the main building. “He’s replacing me,” she said quietly.

I didn’t respond.

“That’s what this is,” she continued. “He sends me away. He brings you in. He shuts me out

“I’m not here to replace you,” I said.

Her eyes snapped back to me. “Then what are you here for?”

I hesitated.

“I don’t know yet,” I said. “But whatever it is, it’s bigger than both of us.”
