Bound To The Broken Alpha (Amy and Daniel) novel Chapter 433

DANIEL

Finished

I woke up to the sound of my phone vibrating nonstop on the bedside table. It wasn’t one notification. There were many. The kind that didn’t stop even when I picked the phone up.

My head was heavy. I sat up slowly, rubbing my face, and checked the screen.

Messages. Alerts. Missed calls. Mentions.

My name was everywhere.

I opened the first alert without thinking.

The screen loaded, and my stomach dropped.

It was a photo of me in bed. Shirtless. A woman beside me. Her face was turned away from the camera, but mine wasn’t. The angle was clear enough. Too clear. Anyone could tell it was me.

“That’s not possible,” I said out loud.

I swiped to the next alert. Another image. Same room. Same bed. A different angle.

Then the captions started showing up.

While his wife is missing…

The CEO of Carter Holdings disgraces the company.

Is this the kind of alpha the North deserves?

My jaw tightened. My wolf surged forward, angry and restless, pushing against my control.

I dropped my feet to the floor and stood up. My room was exactly how I remembered it. Nothing disturbed. Nothing out of place.

“I came home alone,” I muttered. “I went straight to bed.”

I knew that for a fact.

My phone buzzed again. This time, it was a call.

I answered it without checking the name.

“Daniel,” a sharp voice said. “You need to see what’s happening right now.”

“I’m already seeing it,” I replied.

Silence followed for a moment.

“This is bad,” the voice continued. “Very bad. The council is already talking.”

“Let them talk,” I said, though my chest was tight.

“They’re saying you’re unfit to lead while Amy is missing.” he said. “They’re saying you’re distracted.

Reckless.”

“I was framed,” I snapped.

“Then prove it,” he said. “Because right now, perception is winning.”

The call ended.

I clenched my phone so hard I thought the screen would crack.

My wolf growled low inside me, furious. He wanted blood. He wanted answers. He wanted whoever thought this was a good idea to pay for it.

Someone was trying to bring me down.

Not just as a husband.

As an Alpha.

As a king of the north.

As the CEO of Carter Holdings.

And they were doing it the only way that ever worked–by making me look careless.

I scrolled again, forcing myself to breathe.

Another message came in. This one wasn’t subtle.

Focus on ruling, not fooling around, Your Majesty.

I let out a sharp laugh that held no humor.

“They’re bold,” I said. “I’ll give them that.”

I went straight to the bathroom and splashed water on my face. The man staring back at me looked tired. Angry. Dangerous.

“Amy is missing,” I said to my reflection. “And this is what they choose to do.”

My wolf pressed hard against my chest, urging me to act. To lash out. To roar.

But rage without control was exactly what they wanted.

I dressed quickly and left the room. Guards straightened the moment they saw me.

“Cancel my morning meetings,” I said. “All of them.”

“Yes, Alpha.”

As I walked down the hall, my phone rang again. This time, it was a familiar number.

“Daniel,” the council head said. “We need to talk,”

“I’m listening,” I replied, not slowing my steps.

“These images-”

“Are fake,” I cut in. “I was alone last night.”

“That’s not what the public secs,” he said.

“I don’t care what the public secs,” I replied coldly. “I care who planted this.”

He paused. “You should be careful.”

“I’ve been careful,” I said. “That’s why I’m still standing.”

I ended the call before he could respond.

By the time I reached my office, my desk was already covered in printed reports and tablets. My assistant looked tense.

“Sir,” she said, “media outlets are requesting statements.”

“They’ll wait,” I said.

“And the board of Carter Holdings-”

“They’ll wait too.”

She hesitated. “They’re concerned about your image.”

I looked at her sharply. “My wife is missing.”

She lowered her gaze. “Yes, sir.”

I sat down heavily and finally allowed myself to feel it. The anger. The helplessness. The worry.

Amy was still out there. Somewhere. Sick. Scared.

And someone was using her absence as a weapon against me.

I closed my eyes briefly.

“This isn’t the first time,” I said quietly.

My wolf agreed. He remembered every attempt. Every betrayal. Every quiet knife aimed at my back.

But this time felt different.

This time, the timing was too perfect.

Someone knew exactly where to hit.

I opened the images again and studied them closely. The lighting. The angle. The shadows.

“This room isn’t mine,” I said. “The layout is wrong.”
