Alpha's Curse: The Healer's Secret Chapter 34: Hidden Truths
The archive room's musty air made Marcus sneeze as he rifled through ancient scrolls, determination driving his late-night search. After the display at the Alpha's Summit, he knew something unnatural was happening between their Alpha and that peculiar omega.Moonlight filtered through dusty windows, illuminating yellowed parchment as he pulled another scroll from a hidden shelf. His eyes widened as he read the faded text:"When Alpha and Omega trade more than glances, when souls switch places in the moon's sweet dances... beware the bond that grows too strong, for power shared cannot last long."His hands trembled as he continued reading. Soul swapping between Alpha and Omega... ancient magic triggered by denied mate bonds... the prophecy detailed everything they'd witnessed.A soft sound made him freeze. Through a gap in the shelving, he spotted Landon – in Elara's omega body – slipping between the archives with surprising stealth.Marcus held his breath, watching as the supposed ome

The visiting wolves circled the omega quarters like vultures, drawn by the intoxicating scent of Landon's intensifying heat. From her position at the Alpha's table, Elara watched through gritted teeth as another Beta approached him, nostrils flaring with interest.Through their bond, she felt Landon's disgust and growing panic as he tried to serve drinks while avoiding wandering hands. His borrowed body betrayed him, omega instincts making him hyper-aware of every dominant wolf's presence."Your omega is causing quite a stir," Dominic observed, his eyes tracking Landon's movements. "Perhaps she needs a stronger hand to guide her."Elara's fingers tightened on her goblet. "She serves her purpose well enough.""Does she?" Another visiting Beta – James from the Mountain Pack – stood, his intention clear. "Let me test that theory."Before Elara could intervene without raising suspicion, James cornered Landon by the wine table. Through their bond, she felt his heart racing as the Beta lean

The council chamber crackled with tension as Elara faced the assembled pack leaders. Through their bond, she felt Landon's steady presence – he stood in the shadows, ostensibly cleaning but actually providing silent support."These reforms go too far," Beta Marcus growled, slamming his fist on the ancient oak table. "Omegas in training classes? Access to sacred texts? And now defending them against higher-ranked visitors? You're undermining the very foundation of pack hierarchy!"*Stay calm,* Landon's thoughts whispered through their connection. *Remember the ancient laws I showed you.*"The foundation of pack hierarchy," Elara said carefully, pitching Landon's voice to its most authoritative tone, "is strength through unity. Or have you forgotten the First Alpha's teachings?"She felt Landon's approval ripple through their bond as she quoted from the texts they'd studied together in secret."Ancient laws are one thing," Gamma Sabrina interjected smoothly. "But your recent behavior su

The archive room's musty air did nothing to calm Landon's racing heart as he pored over the ancient text he'd discovered hidden behind a loose stone. His borrowed hands trembled as he read the faded words by moonlight."Soul-bound pairs may return to true forms only when hearts align in perfect truth. The price of power shared is love declared beneath Luna's crown..."Through their bond, he felt Elara's concerned inquiry at his sudden spike of excitement. *Found something,* he projected. *Important. Need to—*Footsteps in the corridor cut off his thought. Landon quickly tucked the precious scroll into his dress as voices approached."Search everything," Marcus's second-in-command ordered. "The omega's been stealing information. Beta Marcus wants her found before she reaches the Alpha."Landon's heart pounded as he slipped behind a shelf. Even imprisoned, Marcus was still pulling strings. Through their bond, he felt Elara's alarm and protective instinct surge.*Stay where you are,* he

The pack's harvest celebration filled the great hall with music and laughter, but Elara felt only dread. From her position at the Alpha's table, she watched Dominic approach Landon, his predatory grace making their bond shiver with shared anxiety."Such a lovely omega," Dominic purred, circling Landon as he served wine. "I can see why our Alpha is so... protective of you."Through their connection, Elara felt Landon's revulsion as Dominic's fingers brushed his arm. Her own hands clenched beneath the table, Landon's Alpha instincts raging against another wolf touching what was his."Thank you, honored Alpha," Landon managed, keeping his eyes downcast as an omega should. But through their bond, his fury blazed."Dance with me," Dominic commanded suddenly. "Show everyone how well-trained our Alpha keeps his favorites."Horror shot through their connection. Pack law forbade omegas from refusing an Alpha's direct command.Elara half-rose from her seat before catching herself. She felt Land

Elara Morgan's heart raced as she hurried through the moonlit corridors of the pack house. The scent of pine and wilderness drifted through the open windows, contrasting the stuffy air. Her footsteps echoed softly against the polished wooden floors, each step bringing her closer to the Alpha's office.“Just a quick delivery,” she told herself. “Drop off the reports and leave.”Elara knew her place as an omega—at the bottom of the pack hierarchy. But tonight felt different. An inexplicable pull tugged at her chest, drawing her towards Alpha Landon Wolfe's domain.She paused outside the heavy oak door, her sensitive ears picking up muffled voices from within. Elara's hand hovered over the doorknob, her wolf stirring restlessly beneath her skin.“What's wrong with me?” she wondered, trying to shake off the strange sensation.Suddenly, a loud moan pierced the silence. Elara froze, her eyes widening in shock. The sound was unmistakably female, filled with pleasure and abandon."Oh, Landon!

Elara Morgan's eyes snapped open, her heart pounding. Disorientation hit her like a tidal wave as she stared at an unfamiliar ceiling. This wasn't her tiny room in the omega quarters. The air smelled different—rich leather, cedarwood, and a masculine scent she recognized but couldn't place.She sat up, her movements feeling strangely off-kilter. The silk sheets slid against her skin, another unfamiliar sensation. Elara looked down at herself and froze.These weren't her hands. They were more significant, more robust, with calluses she'd never had. And her chest... Elara's breath caught as she realized her breasts were gone, replaced by hard planes of muscle."What the hell?" The deep, rumbling voice from her throat wasn't hers either. It was Landon Wolfe's.Panic rising, Elara stumbled out of bed toward the full-length mirror on the opposite wall. The face that stared back at her wasn't her own. It was Landon Wolfe's chiseled features, his piercing blue eyes wide with shock."This isn

Elara Morgan stood at the head of the conference table, her new body thrumming with power. The pack's top-ranking members sat before her, their eyes fixed on her face—Landon Wolfe's face—as she delivered her verdict."The attack on our pack was a clear act of aggression," she said, her voice resonating with authority she'd never possessed. "But it's also exposed weaknesses in our defenses and our unity. That changes now."She leaned forward, placing her palms on the polished wood. "From this moment, all pack rankings below Beta are suspended."A chorus of gasps and sputters erupted around the table. Elara allowed herself a small, satisfied smile. ‘This is only the beginning.’"Alpha," Vincent Reed, the pack's Beta, ventured cautiously. "With all due respect, that's unprecedented. The hierarchy has always—""The hierarchy," Elara cut him off, "has failed us. It's made us complacent and divided. We were nearly destroyed because we couldn't work together effectively."She straightened, c

Alpha's Curse: The Healer's Secret Chapter 33: Political Dance
The great hall glittered with lanterns and ceremony as five neighboring packs gathered for the annual Alpha's Summit. Elara stood in Landon's body at the head of the room, painfully aware of both Dominic's predatory gaze and Landon's feverish presence through their bond. He moved among the serving omegas, her body still weak from heat and healing wounds."You look magnificent tonight," Dominic purred, approaching with the fluid grace of a born Alpha. "That formal attire suits you perfectly."Through their bond, Elara felt Landon's spike of jealousy as he watched Dominic's hand settle possessively on her arm. The touch sent uncomfortable ripples through their connection."The Summit honors us with its presence," she replied diplomatically, pitching Landon's voice to its most authoritative tone."Indeed," Dominic smiled, his fingers trailing down her sleeve. "Though I can think of better ways to honor each other."Their bond flared with Landon's sudden rage, making Elara's borrowed hand
Alpha's Curse: The Healer's Secret Chapter 32: Secret Touch
The midnight hour found Elara slipping through shadows toward the abandoned healer's cottage, a jar of sacred healing salve clutched in her borrowed hands. Through their bond, she felt Landon's pain like a constant throb, each movement pulling at the fresh lashes across his back.The cottage door creaked softly as she entered. Landon sat on an old cot, moonlight streaming through broken windows illuminating her borrowed form. The sight of her own body, marked by wounds she'd been forced to inflict, made her heart clench."You shouldn't have come," Landon whispered, even as their bond sang with relief at her presence. "If anyone sees...""Let me see your back," Elara said softly, ignoring his protest. She moved behind him, carefully lifting the thin shirt.The moment her fingers brushed his skin, their bond flared to life. Shared sensation rippled between them – her gentle touch, his sharp intake of breath, the electric current that seemed to dance where they connected."This is going
Alpha's Curse: The Healer's Secret Chapter 31: Dangerous Games
The morning sun cast deceptively peaceful shadows across the pack grounds as Landon made his way through his omega duties, still weak from the previous night's heat symptoms. Through their bond, he felt Elara's constant concern, her attention split between Alpha responsibilities and monitoring his condition.Neither expected Sabrina's trap until it was too late."Well, look who's finally up and about," a smooth voice called. Beta James, one of Sabrina's most loyal followers, stepped out from behind a storage shed. "Feeling better after your... display last night?"Landon tensed, recognizing the predatory gleam in the Beta's eyes. Through their bond, he felt Elara's sudden alertness."I have duties to attend to, Beta," he said carefully, trying to step around the larger wolf.James moved faster than expected, backing him against the shed wall. "Actually," he smiled coldly, "you have new duties. Direct orders from Gamma Sabrina."Landon's heart raced as he spotted movement in his periph
Alpha's Curse: The Healer's Secret Chapter 30: "Rival's Move"
The great hall buzzed with anticipation as the pack gathered for the full moon celebration. Elara stood at the head table in Landon's body, hyperaware of both Dominic's predatory gaze and Landon's feverish presence through their bond. Her borrowed form felt like a cage, trapping her between duty and desire."You look distracted tonight, Landon," Dominic purred, stepping closer than propriety allowed. His scent – pine and alpha musk – made her instincts recoil even as she forced a pleasant expression.Through their bond, she felt Landon's spike of jealousy and discomfort. He stood among the serving omegas, her body trembling with barely controlled heat symptoms as he watched Dominic's advances."Just considering pack matters," Elara replied smoothly, pitching Landon's voice to its most diplomatic tone.Dominic's hand settled on her arm, the touch sending uncomfortable sparks across her skin. "All work and no play makes for a dull Alpha," he smiled. "Dance with me."It wasn't really a r
