Bound To The Broken Alpha (Amy and Daniel) novel Chapter 395

Chapter 395 Only This Time

SELENE

That earned me their full attention.

Daniel studied me like a chessboard. “You planned this.”

“Yes,” I replied. “I wouldn’t have come otherwise.”

Amy nodded slowly. “Then we’ll listen. For now.”

That was enough.

I stood. “That’s all I’m asking.”

Finished

As I was escorted out, I felt the estate watching me again. Not with suspicion this time. With calculation.

Outside, when the gates closed behind me, my wolf finally stretched. Not relaxed. Ready.

I had planted a seed. Whether it grew into cooperation or conflict would depend on who moved next.

But one thing was certain.

The North would not be blind anymore.

The second meeting happened two days later.

Not at Carter Estate this time. That had been intentional on their part. You do not invite a potential ally into the heart of your home twice without deciding whether they are useful or dangerous.

This meeting was held in a Northern administrative wing just outside the city–clean, quiet, guarded by wolves who did not bother hiding their strength.

I arrived alone again.

The guard who escorted me did not speak. His wolf brushed against mine in passing, formal and restrained. The North trained its wolves well. No wasted signals. No emotional posturing.

Amy and Daniel were already inside the room when I entered.

They stood, not seated. That told me this was not a discussion meant to linger. Decisions had already been shaped. What remained was confirmation.

Amy gestured for me to sit. Daniel stayed standing.

“We’ve reviewed what you said,” Amy began. “Separately. Together. And through channels you don’t know about.”

“I assumed you would,” I replied.

Daniel crossed his arms. “You were right about movement. There are small irregularities. Not enough to

trigger alarms. Enough to matter.”

Finished

I nodded once. “That’s how destabilization works. Loud moves get blocked. Quiet ones get absorbed”

Amy watched me carefully. “We’re willing to exchange information, Limited, Controlled.”

“That’s reasonable,” I said.

Daniel added, “This is not an alliance.”

“I didn’t come for one,” I replied. “I came to slow damage.”

Amy leaned forward. “Then here are the terms.”

She laid them out plainly. No ceremony. No flourish.

I would provide names, routes, or signals tied to Southern interference as I confirmed them. Not rumors. Not instinct alone. Verified connections. In return, the North would not treat my presence or movements as hostile so long as I stayed within agreed boundaries. No sanctuary. No protection. Just space.

“If you cross us,” Daniel said, “this ends fast.”

“I wouldn’t expect anything else,” I replied.

Amy’s wolf stirred then. Not aggressive. Focused. “And you will not insert yourself into our internal conflicts.”

“I won’t need to,” I said. “You already have someone doing that.”

Silence followed.

Daniel’s gaze sharpened. “Say it.”

I inhaled once. Steady. This was the part that mattered.

“The name is Elias,” I said. “He is active. He is resourced. And he is not working alone.”

Amy did not react outwardly. But her wolf shifted. Alert. Contained.

Daniel’s jaw tightened. “Elias has been a problem before.”

“He has evolved,” I replied. “He no longer leads from the front. He uses intermediaries. People who can move inside your structures without triggering immediate resistance.”

Amy’s voice stayed calm. “Who?”

“I don’t know yet,” I said honestly. “But I know how he operates. He does not invest in assets without leverage. And he does not gamble on unstable players unless he already holds something over them.”

Daniel paced once, slow and controlled. “You’re telling us someone close is compromised.”

“I’m telling you someone positioned for trust is being used,” I corrected. “There is a difference.”

Amy leaned back. “Why give us Elias now?”

“Because he’s the spine,” I said. “You cut around him, the network adjusts. You expose him, the network panies. Panic makes mistakes.”

Daniel stopped pacing. “And if we move too soon?”

“Then you confirm his narrative,” I replied. “That you react emotionally when pressured”

Amy looked at Daniel. A silent exchange passed between them. Years of shared leadership allowed for that kind of communication.

She turned back to me. “You’re asking us to wait.”

“I’m asking you to watch,” I said. “Closely, Without signaling that you are”

Daniel exhaled slowly. “We can do that.”

Amy nodded. “The deal stands, Conditional”

I inclined my head. “Understood.”

She stood then. “One more thing.”

I waited.

“You said before that someone inside our reach is feeding small details,” she said. “Not enough to alert us. Enough to shape timing.”

“Yes.”

Amy’s eyes held mine. “If you identify that person before we do, you tell us.”
