After today, it will be made known to all.My beta leads Alyssa to stand before me. Her eyes shine with joy and love as she awaits the moment our bond will be consecrated for eternity.The words stick in my throat as I stare into her trusting gaze.

Alpha's Healer Chapter 55
AlyssaThe forest has always been my place of solace. Now more than ever, I need to lose myself among the trees. Adam's refusal still haunts me, a raw ache I fear will remain forever.I shift to my wolf form, seeking comfort in the simplicity of four legs and muffled thoughts. My paws carry me to a hidden glade filled with herbs for healing. As I gather chamomile and lavender, their scents soothe my wounded spirit.A harsh laugh sounds in the distance. I pause, ears pricked. The scent of unwashed humans wafts through the air—poachers. Anger surges in my veins. This is our territory, our home!I stalk through the brush, spying three men with rifles and knives stalking a deer. Keys jangle at one's waist, prison tattoos on his arms—they do not come as mere hunters."Big bucks in these parts, eh boys?" the tattooed man grunts. His companions snicker.I step into view, growling low as I bare my teeth."Look, boys!" the tattooed man exclaims. "Seems we found a bigger game after all."They t

AdamI wake up with a jolt, my heart in my throat. Was finding Alyssa alive and in my arms just a dream? A fantasy made up by my grieving mind? I open my eyes. She’s there - bathed in the morning light, sleeping peacefully beside me. Relief crashes over me as memories of last night come rushing back. I almost lost her because I was stupid enough to think I could make it on my own. But now her mark is burned into my soul, as eternal as the sunrise.Alyssa stirs, looking up at me with a smile as radiant as the dawn. In that moment I vow to spend the rest of my life proving I deserve to stand as her mate. I’ll never leave her side again.Sophia’s cries echo from down the hall. Alyssa gets up, the silk sheet slipping down to bare her amber skin. I follow them both, my heart damn near bursting. Alyssa lifts Sophia from the crib, singing her a lullaby. I’m filled with awe and gratitude for the family I’ve been given back against all odds.We made it through the night. The day spreads out b

Alyssa A few years later. The challenge begins before I can warn Adam of Sophia’s vision. Drake and Cain, the champions, stalk toward each other as Xavier looks on with a smug grin. Sophia clutches my hand, eyes wide. “The bad wolf will cheat, Mommy. Daddy’s wolf has to watch out!” My heart seizes. Drake is a mighty warrior, but what sinister trick does Xavier have planned? I shout a warning, but too late—Cain lunges at Drake in a blur of motion, slamming into him with impossible force. Drake slashes with claws and fangs, but each blow glances off Cain as if hitting stone. A metallic tang fills the air as I realize with horror that Cain’s power is over metal itself. His body and claws have become living blades. The pack roars in protest as Cain’s claws rake Drake’s flesh, spilling crimson onto the ground. Xavier’s laughter chills my blood. How did he come upon such a forbidden power? I move to heal Drake, but Sophia squeezes my hand. “Wait, Mommy. The bad wolf will attack us. I

AdamThe night is punctured by howls of terror as smoke billows into the air. My heart seizes at the acrid scent - our territory is under attack.I race toward the outskirts of our lands, the pack following on my heels, to find a nightmare awaiting us. Homes are engulfed in flames while bodies of our people litter the ground, torn and bloodied.Standing amidst the wreckage is a wolf I know I killed, eyes glowing a sinister red, smug satisfaction etched into his scarred face. Tobias.“Surprised to see me, Adam?” His lips curl into a mocking sneer. “You should have made sure I was dead. Now your pack will pay the price for your failure.”Ice floods my veins. Tobias was gifted dark magic, returning from death itself for vengeance. And we played right into his trap.“Where is my family?” I growl. If he has touched Alyssa or Sophia..."Safe - for now. You'll get your daughter back if you surrender your territory and pack to me." His eyes gleam with triumph. "Otherwise, you'll never see the

AlyssaThe wolf prowling towards me is a stranger. Adam's eyes, once glowing with warmth and laughter, now burn with rage and suspicion. His hackles rise and a sinister growl rumbles in his chest as he backs me into a corner, teeth bared."How long have you been plotting against me?" he snarls. Gone is the mate I love, replaced by this menacing beast I do not know."Adam, it's me," I plead, keeping my tone soft and submissive. But my words do not reach him. The Adam I knew is trapped behind those hate-filled eyes."Lies!" He snaps at me, his muzzle a breath from my throat. "I should have known you could never be trusted. You're in league with our enemies, aren't you?"Confusion and pain flood me. "I would never betray you! I am your mate. Don't you know me?""I know what you are." Adam's lips curl back further, slaver dripping from his fangs. "And you will never set foot in my territory again."He lunges. I brace myself, ready to fight the creature wearing my mate's flesh. But a massi

AlyssaWithout my mate, my powers are weakened. But Marcus stands resolute at my side, lending me his strength. "They do not know the force they have unleashed. Adam would never raise a claw to harm you or your child, bond or no bond."We work what spells we can to pierce the sinister haze clouding Adam's mind. Marcus leads me to where Adam has barricaded himself, refusing entrance to the pack. But when we break through, the evil infesting Adam's soul lashes out in rage.Adam lunges with claws extended and fangs bared, madness gleaming in his eyes. Too weak to raise proper defenses, I stumble back - but Marcus intercepts, shielding me with his body as he pleads with Adam to remember who he is.For a heartbeat, clarity returns, and Adam blinks down at us in confusion. But then the demon reclaims its hold, and Adam roars, knocking Marcus brutally aside. I scramble to Marcus as he struggles to rise, bloodied but unbowed, still placing himself between Adam and me.We are no match for Adam

AriaThey roll across the forest floor in a blur of motion, claws and teeth flashing in the dappled sunlight. Blood spatters the leaves, the coppery scent of it thick and cloying in the air.I know I should do something, should throw myself between them and put an end to this madness before one of them winds up dead. But I can't seem to make myself move, can't seem to do anything but watch in mute horror as the two males I love most in this world try to tear each other apart.It's Callum who falters first, his weakened body no match for Elijah's savage strength. He stumbles, his flank laid open by a vicious swipe of claws, and Elijah presses his advantage with a snarl of triumph.And then his jaws are closing around Callum's throat, and the world seems to freeze in a single, crystalline moment of perfect, terrible clarity.I know in that instant that I am about to watch the father of my child die. That I am about to lose him forever, just when I had finally begun to hope that we might

Adam I bolt awake, heart pounding. Alyssa's screams and Sophia's cries echo in my head. I swipe a hand across my damp forehead, breathing hard. Just a nightmare. But it felt so real. My wolf strains against its cage, howling to go to them. I know they need me. I stumble out of the nest into the cool night air. The stars shine down, distant and uncaring. How did I let this happen? I promised to protect them, to keep them safe. But I left them alone, at the mercy of the threat I should've ended. Alyssa. Her fear reached out in my dreams, begging for help. But I'm too late. My rival won; he has her trapped, waiting to finish this. I abandoned her to that fate. I abandoned my heart. And Sophia. My little light, my joy. She cries for her mother, afraid and alone. What's going to happen to her if I don't do something? I have to go back. Now, before all hope is lost and the future is decided. Before the light goes out for good. My wolf snarls again, straining to break free. To hell with

AlyssaDuran corners me as I gather herbs, lust, and fury warring in his eyes. My pulse quickens. "Alyssa, stop these games. You will be my mate."I square my shoulders, meeting his predatory gaze. "I follow my duty to your pack, but my heart belongs to another. I cannot be your mate, Duran."He moves closer, crowding me against the rock face. "You forget your place, little healer. I am Alpha here, and I will not be denied what I desire."The darkness radiating from him overwhelms my senses. My gift shrieks a warning of the evil now awakened and poised to descend. I have pushed him too far.Duran grabs my chin, forcing me to look at him. "You will come to care for me in time. I can be patient when I wish. But do not forget who rules this pack, and what I want, I shall have."His fingers leave bruises on my skin. I wrench away, stumbling down the path. His bellow follows, "You cannot escape me forever, Alyssa! I will make you mine!"I run as if the hounds of hell snap at my heels throu

AdamThe forest blurs around me as I race between the trees, my paws pounding the earth. My heart thunders in my chest, refusing to accept what my senses tell me - they are gone. Vanished like the morning mist under the glare of the rising sun. I stop, throwing back my head to howl in rage and grief, the sorrowful sound echoing through the empty woods.I continue searching. Exhaustion drags at my limbs, but still, I hunt for any sign to cling to hope. Their scent has disappeared, erased as though they were never here. I stumble on through the black of night, guided only by the light of the moon overhead.Finally, I return home as the pale glow of dawn brightens the sky. The pack emerges from their dens, wary of my approach. I shift back, standing before them with my shoulders bowed under the weight of failure. Murmurs rise around me as they take in my disheveled, haggard appearance. Their Alpha, broken and aimless without his mate and child. Helpless to protect them. Useless to lead a

Alyssa Duran's invitation for dinner fills me with anxiety. As the Alpha, I can't say no, but his feelings for me create expectations I can't meet. The day passes too quickly. When night falls, I go to Duran's cabin, bracing myself for the evening to come. Duran greets me with a warm smile. "Welcome. I'm glad you could come." "Thank you for inviting me, Alpha." The proper response, hiding my inner turmoil. Duran's eyes gleam as he shows me inside, and my pulse jumps. The table is covered with a delicious spread. I take small bites, my appetite ruined by the unspoken question hanging between us. Duran watches me over his wine glass, patient but unwavering in his silent demand. "Your healing skills are invaluable. My pack has benefited greatly since you joined us. I feel...very fortunate you found shelter here after your mate's death." A calculated mention, trying to get a reaction. I chew slowly, my mind racing, before offering a tight smile. "You are too kind to help us in our ti

Alyssa The forest blurs around me as I run, clutching Sophia's hand tightly in mine. My legs burn but I don't slow. We have to get away. Far away. Sophia's steps falter. "Mama, wait, please. I can't run anymore." I stop and kneel before her, brushing leaves from her hair. "I know, sweetheart. I'm sorry. Just a little farther, OK?" Sophia nods bravely but when I stand, her ankle gives out beneath her. She cries out as she tumbles to the ground. "Sophia!" My heart drops as I scoop her into my arms. She whimpers, tears streaming down her face as she holds her ankle. No, not now. We have to keep going. I carry Sophia over to a large oak tree and set her down in the roots. "Let me see." Gently, I remove her shoe and sock. Her ankle is already swollen, the delicate joint red and puffy. No doubt it's sprained. Sophia sniffles. "It hurts, Mama." "I know, baby." I stroke her hair and kiss her forehead, panic rising in my chest. We're exposed here. Vulnerable. "Let me wrap it. We'll get
