Cursed Alpha, Chosen Love Alert Of The View
Kaelan shifted back into his human form, his body trembling with exhaustion. He turned to Rhea, who had collapsed to her knees, the light around her fading. He rushed to her side, gathering her in his arms."Rhea," he whispered, his voice thick with emotion. "You saved me."Rhea looked up at him, her eyes filled with a mixture of relief and disbelief. "I... I couldn't let you face him alone," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.Kaelan held her close, his heart racing. "You're safe now," he murmured, pressing a gentle kiss to her forehead. "It's over."Around them, the Dark Wolves were scattered, their leader Zane defeated and no longer a threat. The forest was eerily silent, save for the sound of their labored breathing.Kaelan helped Rhea to her feet, his arm wrapped protectively around her waist. "Let's go home," he said, his gaze searching her face.Rhea nodded, leaning into him as they made their way back to the town. The journey was quiet, both of them lost in their own t

“Why should we believe you’ve changed, Kaelan?” Elder Maren’s voice cut through the tense silence like a sharp blade. Her gray eyes, cold and unyielding, locked onto Kaelan as if daring him to flinch. Around the long wooden table, the other elders and prominent members of the pack exchanged uncertain glances, their faces a mixture of skepticism and lingering fear. Kaelan didn’t flinch. Instead, he met Maren’s gaze head-on, his jaw tightening. “Because I have no choice but to change,” he said, his voice steady but laced with a quiet intensity. “I’ve made mistakes—grave ones—but I’m here now, not as the Alpha I once was, but as someone willing to earn back your trust. I’m not asking for your forgiveness today. I’m asking for a chance to prove that I deserve to lead you again.” “Earn our trust?” Another voice chimed in, this time from the far end of the table. It was Daryn, a younger member of the pack who had risen to prominence during Kaelan’s absence. His tone was laced with bitte

"How could you just let him in like that?!" Kaelan's voice thundered through the lodge, his tone sharp and demanding as he paced back and forth, shoulders tense with frustration. His golden eyes glinted in the dim light of the room, a telltale sign of his barely-contained anger.Rhea stood her ground across from him, her arms crossed defensively over her chest, her jaw clenched. She wasn't one to back down from a fight, even when Kaelan was in one of his moods. His temper might have scared others, but she'd learned to face it head-on. "I didn’t ‘let him in,’ Kaelan," she shot back, her voice steady despite the storm brewing inside her. "He’s a scout—your scout. He was bleeding out! What was I supposed to do? Leave him to die on the porch?"Kaelan froze mid-step, his back to her. His hands balled into fists at his sides as he exhaled sharply through his nose. The tension in the room was palpable, thick enough to cut with a knife. "You don’t understand," he muttered finally, his voice

“Do you even understand what you’re risking?” Magnus’ gravelly voice cut through the tension like a blade. His steel-grey eyes locked onto Kaelan’s, unflinching, as though daring him to argue. Kaelan narrowed his eyes, his jaw tightening. “I don’t have a choice, Magnus. You think I’d willingly walk into this mess if I didn’t have to?” Magnus scoffed, a sound that was somewhere between a laugh and a growl. “You’ve always been stubborn, Kaelan. But this? This isn’t just about you.” He stepped closer, his towering frame casting a shadow over the dimly lit clearing. “Do you know what Zane is after?” Kaelan’s silence was answer enough. “Of course, you don’t,” Magnus continued, his tone dripping with disdain. “The Heart of the Moon isn’t just some relic. It’s power—raw, unfiltered power. If Zane gets his hands on it, he won’t just destroy you. He’ll tear apart every pack, every bond, every shred of balance we’ve fought to protect.” Rhea, who had been standing a few feet back, step

“Do you feel that?” Rhea’s voice pierced the silence, sharp and uneasy. Kaelan halted mid-step, his head tilting slightly. The forest around them was unnaturally quiet. No wind whispered through the trees. No leaves rustled. Even the usual hum of insects was absent, swallowed by the oppressive stillness. Magnus, walking just ahead of them, raised a hand, signaling them to stop. His sharp eyes scanned the dense shadows surrounding them. “It’s not just the forest,” he muttered. “There’s magic here. Old, twisted magic.” Kaelan’s fingers twitched, itching for the claws that no longer came. His eyes darted to Rhea, who was standing close, her body tense but steady. “Stay close,” he said softly, his voice more order than request. “I wasn’t planning on wandering off,” Rhea shot back, her tone laced with sarcasm, but her hands were clenched at her sides. “What exactly are we walking into, Magnus?” Magnus turned slightly, his face grim under the dappled shadows of the forest canopy.

“Are you trying to get us all killed?” Elder Maren’s voice echoed sharply through the forest clearing, her piercing gaze locking on the young werewolf before her. Tension crackled in the air like a storm ready to break. The rest of the pack stood in a loose circle, their bodies rigid, breaths shallow, as if afraid to disturb the fragile balance of the moment. The accused, a wiry young man named Jarek, shifted uncomfortably under the weight of her glare. His hands fidgeted at his sides, his eyes darting nervously around the pack. The faint moonlight caught the sheen of sweat on his brow. “I don’t know what you’re talking about,” he stammered, his voice barely above a whisper. Maren stepped closer, her silver hair glinting like a blade in the dim light. “Don’t lie to me, boy. We found the markings. The signals you left for Zane’s scouts.” Her tone was sharp, unforgiving, cutting through the thick air like a knife. A murmur rippled through the pack, some growling low in their throat

“Do you even realize what this means?” Maren’s voice was sharp, slicing through the tense silence of the dimly lit room. The maps and scrolls spread across the wooden table in front of her told a chilling story, one that no one in the room wanted to believe. Kaelan leaned over the table, his jaw clenched, his dark eyes scanning the chaotic scrawl of notes that had been hastily gathered. His hair was disheveled, his shirt rumpled, but none of that mattered now. The weight of what Maren had just revealed pressed down on him like a crushing boulder. “Say it again,” Kaelan growled, his voice rough, a dangerous edge sharpening his tone. “I need to hear it again.” Maren’s lips pressed into a thin line, her silver hair falling in loose strands around her face as she met his intense gaze. “Zane is looking for the Heart of the Moon,” she said, her voice steady despite the gravity of her words. “And according to these,” she gestured to the scrolls, “he’s close to finding it.” A low grow

"You're back... and you brought trouble with you, didn’t you?" The voice was sharp, accusing, and full of doubt. Kaelan turned to see Marcus, the pack’s interim leader, stepping out from the shadows of the forest clearing. His arms were crossed, his jaw tight, and his amber eyes glared at Kaelan with a mix of hostility and wariness. Kaelan let out a slow breath, his hands clenched at his sides. He had expected this reaction. After all, it had been years since they’d last seen him—years since he had been cast out. "We don’t have time for this," Kaelan said, his voice low but firm. "Zane is coming, and if you’re not ready, this pack won’t survive." Marcus scoffed, stepping closer, his towering figure looming over Kaelan. "And why should we trust you? You think we’ve forgotten what you did? The way you ruled this pack like a tyrant? You’re not our Alpha anymore, Kaelan. You’re nothing." Rhea, standing a few feet behind Kaelan, stiffened. She could feel the tension in the air, c

Cursed Alpha, Chosen Love A New Legacy
A hush fell over the pack. Rhea’s fingers curled into a fist at her side, but she said nothing. She knew this was Kaelan’s battle to fight—not with claws, not with strength, but with the truth.Kaelan exhaled slowly, his voice even but firm. “Because I’m not the same Alpha I was.”Garrick scoffed, arms crossed over his chest. “Words mean nothing. Zane is gone, but what stops you from turning into him?”The weight of the question pressed against Kaelan’s ribs. It was a fair challenge, one he would have once met with violence. But not now.He took a step forward, his gaze unwavering. “You do.”Murmurs rippled through the pack. Garrick’s brow furrowed.Kaelan continued, his voice carrying strength without intimidation. “All of you. This pack is not mine to control. It is ours to build.” He glanced at Rhea, then back at the faces before him. “I have made mistakes. More than I can count. But I will not repeat them.”Garrick studied him, the firelight reflecting in his eyes. Then, after a l
Cursed Alpha, Chosen Love The Price of Victory
"You have to let me do this, Kaelan."Rhea’s voice cut through the howling winds, her hands trembling as she traced glowing sigils in the air. The ancient power coursing through her veins crackled like a storm contained within flesh, her body a conduit for something far greater than she was ever meant to bear. Her skin had paled, veins darkening with the creeping corruption of the Elder Wolf’s essence.Kaelan’s grip on his bloodstained sword tightened. "No. There has to be another way." His breath came in sharp, ragged bursts, his muscles burning from the relentless battle. Around them, the remnants of the cult still writhed in the aftermath of the ritual, their forms twisting in agony as the fragment of the Elder Wolf flickered, struggling to maintain its hold on the physical plane."There isn’t," Rhea gasped, barely holding herself upright. "If we don't finish this now, it will return stronger. You know that."Kaelan's jaw clenched. He knew she was right. The fragment had already pu
Cursed Alpha, Chosen Love The Battle Begins
The clash of claws and steel roared across the valley like an unstoppable storm. Kaelan ducked under a sweeping blade, his instincts razor-sharp as he drove his claws into a cultist’s chest. The man let out a strangled gasp before crumpling, lifeless. A grim satisfaction surged through Kaelan, but there was no time for celebration. The battle was just beginning, and the stakes had never been higher.“Push forward!” Kaelan bellowed, his voice cutting through the chaos that enveloped them. This was not just a fight for survival; it was a fight for the very soul of their land. The air was thick with the acrid scent of blood and sweat, mingling with the pungent aroma of burnt offerings that the cultists had laid in their dark rituals. The remnants of Alaric’s forces, battered but determined, surged ahead alongside Kaelan’s pack and their allies, a motley crew of warriors united by a common cause.The sacred site had been desecrated, its once-pristine ground now drenched in blood, illumina
Cursed Alpha, Chosen Love The Light in the Dark
"This is insane, Rhea!"Kaelan's voice was rough with frustration, his fists clenched at his sides. His normally guarded expression was stripped bare—raw concern etched into the tense line of his jaw.Across the dimly lit chamber, Rhea stood her ground. Her hands trembled, but she didn't step back. Not this time. Not when she had finally found a way to end this nightmare."It's the only way," she said evenly.Kaelan exhaled sharply. "No. We find another way.""There is no other way!" Rhea snapped, her patience thinning. "I've read the texts over and over. If we don't sever the connection before the ritual, the Elder Wolf will fully awaken. We can't let that happen."Kaelan paced like a caged animal, his shoulders taut with restrained energy. He raked a hand through his dark hair before fixing her with a hard stare."And your solution is to sacrifice yourself? That's what you're saying, isn't it?" His voice was quieter now, but no less intense.Rhea’s throat tightened. She had expected
Cursed Alpha, Chosen Love Gathering Strength
"We are running out of time."Kaelan’s voice cut through the tense air, and the gathered werewolves straightened. The fire in the center of the meeting ground flickered, casting shifting shadows over the hardened warriors, healers, and scouts who had come to listen.“We barely survived last night,” he continued, stepping forward. His piercing gaze locked onto each pack member. “And the Elder Wolf is still out there. You all saw what it did. You felt it.”A low murmur swept through the crowd. The wounds from their last encounter were still fresh. Some bore visible scars—claw marks across chests, bandaged arms, bruised faces—but the worst wounds were unseen. The fear. The doubt. The knowledge that they had faced something beyond any Alpha’s strength.Kaelan inhaled sharply. “I won’t lie to you. We are facing a power that even our ancestors feared. But we will not let that fear break us.” His voice was steady, commanding. “This is our land. Our home. And we will fight to the last breath
Cursed Alpha, Chosen Love The Awakening
"This isn't just a ritual site. This is a warning."Kaelan’s voice was edged with restrained fury as he surveyed the grotesque display before them. The clearing was littered with symbols scorched into the earth—runes older than any known werewolf script. The stench of blood and decay clung to the air, thick and suffocating. At the center of it all, a massive carcass of a stag lay in a grotesque offering, its ribcage splayed open, organs meticulously removed."They've been busy," Torin muttered, stepping beside Kaelan. "This isn’t just some rogue cult playing with forbidden magic. They knew exactly what they were doing."Alaric’s remnants, now part of the fractured pack, stood in uneasy formation. Some of them muttered under their breath, unease rippling through their ranks like a cold wind. The alliance was already fragile—this only worsened the tension.Rhea tightened her grip on her dagger. She had seen death before, but something about this ritual site set her on edge. The symbols…
Cursed Alpha, Chosen Love Fractures Within
"Kaelan." Torin’s tone was measured, but there was no mistaking the wariness in it. His fingers twitched at his sides, a wolf barely restraining its instincts. For a moment, neither leader moved. Then, Torin’s gaze shifted to Rhea, who stood just behind Kaelan’s right shoulder."You’re the one who called for this meeting," Torin noted, his expression unreadable."I am," Rhea confirmed, stepping forward. "Because I believe this fight is bigger than whatever grudges remain between us."Torin let out a low, humorless chuckle. "Grudges? That’s putting it lightly."Kaelan bristled. "If you're just here to revisit the past, save your breath."Torin's expression hardened, but he didn’t rise to the bait. Instead, he glanced back at his own people. One of them—a younger woman with dark braids and wary eyes—gave a barely perceptible nod.Torin exhaled. "We’ve seen the movements near the old border. We know the kind of threat you’re talking about. And we know we’re not strong enough to take t
Cursed Alpha, Chosen Love Whispers in the Shadows
The patrol burst through the main gates, breathless and bloodied."Alpha!" Jareth called, urgency laced in his voice. "You need to see this."Kaelan was already moving before Jareth had finished speaking. The sight of his warriors returning in such a state sent ice through his veins. He met them at the center of the village, where torchlight flickered against their mud-streaked faces."What happened?" he demanded.Jareth swallowed hard. "We found something… unsettling. Near the eastern border."Rhea appeared beside Kaelan, her presence a quiet strength. "What do you mean, unsettling?"Jareth hesitated. His fingers twitched at his side, and Kaelan didn't miss the faint tremor in them."Show me," Kaelan ordered.The eastern border was shrouded in thick mist, the towering trees casting twisted shadows under the moonlight. The scent of damp earth mixed with something sharper, something wrong."Here," Jareth said, stopping near a clearing.Kaelan's gaze landed on the markings first. Dark s
Cursed Alpha, Chosen Love Echoes of Prophecy
This isn't over, Kaelan."Kaelan’s fingers clenched around the armrest of his chair. Zane’s last words still echoed in his mind, a ghost refusing to be exorcized. Even in defeat, the bastard had found a way to haunt him. The village had begun to rebuild, but the scars—both seen and unseen—would take far longer to heal.Rhea sat across from him, her hands curled around a warm mug, eyes distant. The dim candlelight flickered, casting shifting shadows on the walls of their shared home. For the first time in a long while, Kaelan didn’t feel the weight of solitude pressing against his chest. And yet, the silence between them now felt heavier than ever.“You’re brooding again,” Rhea murmured, taking a sip of her tea.Kaelan exhaled sharply. “I’m thinking.”She arched a brow. “Same thing.”His lips twitched, but the amusement didn’t reach his eyes. “You don’t believe Zane is truly gone, do you?”Rhea’s grip tightened around the mug. “He didn’t die with regret. He died with vengeance in his e
