Bound To The Broken Alpha

Chapter 436 An Opening

AMY

As she helped me change, I studied her face. “Do you know who gave the order?” I asked quietly.

She paused. Just for a second. “I know who enforces it.”

“That’s not what I asked.”

Her hands steadied. “Knowing more wouldn’t help you.”

“It already has,” I said.

She didn’t respond.

When she finished, she stepped back. “You’ll be moved tonight.”

Night. That meant secrecy. Fewer eyes. More control.

After she left, I lay back and stared at the ceiling. My thoughts drifted to the pack. To the North.

To the way wolves sensed instability even when humans pretended not to. Daniel’s authority would be under pressure. Clara would be somewhere nearby, watching everything tilt.

I closed my eyes and breathed slowly, the way the doctor had shown me. Panic wouldn’t help. Anger wouldn’t either.

If this was a waiting game, then I would wait.

But I wouldn’t break.

And when I was finally put back on the board, whoever thought I was only leverage would learn just how wrong they were.

The night they moved me was the night I tried to run.

I knew it the moment the guards changed. The rhythm was different. The footsteps outside my door came in pairs instead of threes.

One of them dragged his feet slightly, like he wasn’t fully alert. Little things like that mattered when you had nothing else to work with.

They didn’t bind my hands. That alone told me they didn’t think I was a threat.

They were wrong.

Mara returned just after dusk. She didn’t say much, only gestured for me to stand. I followed her into the corridor, keeping my steps slow, my breathing even.

My wolf was awake now, not calm, not frantic, but sharp. Focused. She pressed against my senses. reminding me of corners, doors, blind spots.

We passed two guards at the end of the hall. One of them glanced at me and then away, bored. The other barely looked up from his device. Complacency. I stored that away.

The elevator ride was silent. I watched the numbers change, counting floors, memorizing time. When the doors opened, the air felt different. Cooler. Less sterile. This wasn’t the same wing I had been kept in before.

Good.

They led me down another corridor, wider this time, with glass panels along one side. Outside was darkness, broken only by scattered lights in the distance. We weren’t underground anymore. That mattered too.

A guard stepped ahead to open the next door.

That was my opening.

I didn’t think. Thinking slowed things down. I shoved Mara sideways with everything I had and bolted forward. My body screamed in protest, pain flaring through my side, but adrenaline drowned it out. My wolf surged, lending strength I didn’t know I still had.

Shouts erupted behind me.

I ran.

The corridor split ahead. I took the left without hesitation, boots slipping slightly on the polished floor. Doors lined the walls, most of them locked, but I yanked at handles anyway, hoping for one mistake. One careless oversight.

None came.

Footsteps thundered closer. Too many. Too fast.

I rounded another corner and skidded to a stop. A solid metal barrier slammed down in front of me, sealing the passage with a mechanical hiss. I barely had time to turn before hands grabbed my arms.

I fought. I didn’t stop myself this time. I kicked, twisted, clawed at anything I could reach. My wolf snarled, rage burning through me, but my body was still weak. Too weak.

A sharp sting hit my neck.

I gasped, the world tilting violently. My legs buckled, strength draining out of me like someone had pulled a plug. I was caught before I hit the floor, restrained with practiced efficiency.

“Enough,” a man’s voice said calmly. Not angry. Not rushed.

My vision blurred, but I forced my eyes open. The man stepped into view, tall, well–dressed, completely

unbothered.

“That was reckless,” he continued. “Especially in your condition.”

I tried to speak. My tongue felt heavy. “You shouldn’t… underestimate me.”

A faint smile crossed his face. “We didn’t. We accounted for desperation. What you mistake for opportunity was simply allowance.”

That hurt more than the needle.

They carried me back, not to my old room, but somewhere smaller. No windows this time. No glass walls. The restraints were gentler but firmer in purpose.

Mara stood by the door, her face unreadable.

“I had to try,” I said hoarsely.
