All Chapters of Bound by the Alphas: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Harley’s POVI smelled her before I actually saw her entering the classroom. I wasn’t sure how I missed her on the list of students, but I somehow didn’t know she was going to be attending this class until it was too late.I made it a point to avoid her for most of the day. When I saw her crowded in the elevator with Xaden and Zach, I took the stairs out of respect. But my inner bear was furious for not shoving us into the elevator and hogging her for ourselves.Staying away from her was the hardest thing I ever had to do in my entire life, and I fought in an entire war.My stomach had been turned into a knot for most of the day, but I fought hard to ignore the sensation, not wanting my emotions to be evident on my face.“Earth to Harles,” my friend, Anthony, said, furrowing his brows together as he stared at me across the lunch table.I had been watching Anila from across the room as she sat closely beside Xaden. She kept stealing glances at him and smiled her bright and beautiful sm

Anila’s POVI was too exhausted to even touch dinner after the day I had just had. Not only was Harley the teacher's aide in my geography class, but Zach was my partner in my combat class. How was I going to survive this semester?I played with the food on my plate as Penny talked our ears off about how incredible her night was and how excited she was for combat. Apparently, she really liked her partner.I was glad that my roommate had a better day than I did; it’s not that my day was bad, I got to spend time with Xaden, and I enjoyed most of my classes. But I couldn’t believe what I was facing in these classes, not to mention my eyes turning purple.I knew this school had a huge library though and Xaden promised we could check it out and see if we could find any information containing the purple eyes.The next night went basically the same. I was able to get to the school store and got most of my books and supplies for each class.After breakfast, we went to class, drowning myself in

Anila POVI sulked the entire way to the bookstore.I knew I was being pathetic.My own behavior was making me annoyed, but no matter how I tried to ignore it, push it away, or bury it with delicious thoughts of what I was going to make Xaden do later, it was still there.Persistent. Painful. Annoying.Shadowing every action and thought, a layer of possessiveness that not only shouldn’t even be there but grew worse every time that image of Zach whispering sweet nothings to that woman pinned beneath him rose to mind.She wasn’t even that pretty.Ugh no, that’s a lie, she was fucking strikingly beautiful.Stop it, Anila. It didn’t matter what, or who, Zach did.I shook my head to quiet the thoughts. I was in a relationship with someone I was starting to… truly love, with my whole being. It was the first time I had openly admitted that I might actually be falling in love with Xaden.Something warm and fluttering, new and beautiful. Something I wanted to experience to the fullest.I hadn

Anila POVMy body was sore and exhausted. Every now and then, I could feel a phantom kiss, or lick, or touch, gracing my skin like a ghost. From the slickness between my legs, and the dampness of my panties, I felt ashamed.I got so wet from a dream, a dream about three people touching me greedily, and two more watching from a distance.*What was wrong with me?*I was depraved. I must be, or at the very least, I was in my subconscious state.

Anila POVMy muscles were even more dead by the end of class.I was exhausted and sweaty, hair clung to my forehead as I sluggishly gathered my things. I caught sight of Harley chatting with Professor Tilly. As soon as my eyes landed on him, his eyes found me. I offered a warm smile, thankful for the help he offered today.And that he didn’t touch me. If he had touched me, It would have felt wrong. Like I was betraying Xaden for some reason. But also,
