Bound To The Broken Alpha (Amy and Daniel) novel Chapter 392

Chapter 392 Who Is Standing With You?

CLARA

Finished

I left the house after midnight, when the guards changed shifts and the hall cameras looped their routine checks. I had timed it over several nights. People always grew lazy when nothing happened. That was when movement mattered most.

I dressed in dark clothes and tied my hair back. No jewelry. No scent markers. I rubbed neutral oil on my wrists and neck, enough to blur my trail without raising suspicion. Wolves noticed these things even when they pretended not to.

The north air felt sharp when I stepped outside. The cold carried sound farther, but it also kept people indoors. I moved along the tree line instead of the main path. Gravel remembered footsteps. Dirt did not.

I didn’t shift fully. Not yet. I stayed half–aware, letting my senses stretch without changing my form. My hearing sharpened first.

Then the smell. Pine, damp earth, old metal from the fence. No unfamiliar wolves nearby. The pack patrols were on the western edge tonight. Daniel had tightened security there after the recent issues.

That worked in my favor.

I crossed the boundary markers and kept going until the land sloped downward. This area sat between territories, not claimed but respected. Meetings happened here when neither side wanted witnesses.

Elias was already waiting.

He stood near the fallen log, hands in his coat pockets, posture relaxed. Southern wolves carried themselves differently. Less restraint. More confidence in space. His scent reached me before his voice. Heat, iron, and something sharp beneath it. Power that had not dulled with time.

“You’re late,” he said.

“I had to be careful,” I replied. “The north watches everything right now.”

He smiled slightly. “They always think they do.”

I stopped a few steps away. Close enough to speak. Far enough to leave if needed.

“You shouldn’t have come in person,” he said. “A message would have been safer.”

“This can’t be written,” I said. “And it can’t be overheard.”

That got his attention. His eyes sharpened, pupils narrowing. Alpha instinct responded before thought.

“Talk,” he said..

“There’s a supply coming north,” I said. “Within the next five days.”

He didn’t react. He was good at that.

“What kind of supply?” he asked.

Finished

“Medical compounds,” I said. “Silver suppressants. Blood stabilizers. The kind used after long shifts or forced transformations.”

His jaw tightened slightly. “Those aren’t traded lightly.”

“They aren’t supposed to be traded at all,” I said. “Not in bulk.”

He studied me. “Who authorized it?”

“Amy,” I said, without hesitation. “Officially.”

That part was true enough to matter.

“And unofficially?” he asked.

“Daniel approved the logistics,” I said. “Security clearance, transport routes, escorts.”

That was also true. He had no reason to suspect the request when it came through the right channels.

Elias exhaled slowly. “Why tell me this?”

“Because that supply changes the balance,” I said. “And because you should know before it arrives.”

He tilted his head. “You’re assuming I don’t already.”

“If you did, you wouldn’t be standing here alone,” I replied.

A corner of his mouth lifted. “You’ve grown sharper.”

“I had to,” I said.

Silence settled between us. The forest shifted. A night bird moved overhead. My wolf stirred under my skin, restless but contained.

“How important is this supply?” he asked.

“It can keep a pack fighting longer than they should,” I said. “It can hide injuries. Delay weakness. It can make wolves look stronger than they are.”

“And?” he pressed.

“And it can be used to test loyalty,” I added. “Who gets access. Who doesn’t. Who becomes dependent.”

That earned a low sound from him. Not quite a growl. Close enough.

“You’re certain?” he asked.

“I saw the request myself,” I said. “I saw the delivery code. Northern routes. Cold storage clearance.”

“You shouldn’t have access to that,” he said.

“I didn’t,” I replied. “Not officially.”

He watched me carefully now. Measuring risk.

“Why betray them?” he asked.

“I’m not,” I said. “I’m protecting myself and doing exactly what you asked of me.”

“That’s never the whole truth,” he said.

I met his gaze. “They’ll blame Amy when this goes wrong,” I said. “They always blame the one who stands in front.”

“And you?” he asked.

“I’ll look loyal,” I said. “Concerned. Caught in the middle.”

He nodded slowly. “You always were good at that.”

“I learned early,” I said. “From watching you.”

That landed. He didn’t deny it.

“When exactly does it arrive?” he asked.

“Before the council reconvenes,” I said. “They want it secured and distributed before questions start.”

“And the route?” he asked.

“Through the eastern pass,” I said. “Night transport. Guarded by north enforcers.”

Elias paced once, then stopped. “If this supply disappears,” he said, “there will be consequences.”

“Yes,” I agreed. “That’s the point.”

He looked back at me. “You’re certain Amy doesn’t know the full risk?”

“She knows the logistics,” I said. “Not the politics.”

“And Daniel?” he asked.
