Cursed Alpha, Chosen Love The Truth Unveiled
“What happens now?” she asked, her voice barely audible.Kaelan didn’t answer. Instead, he stepped closer, his gaze fixed on hers. And in that moment, she realized that the battle wasn’t over—not yet.“Kaelan,” Rhea pressed, her tone firmer this time, though her trembling hands betrayed her unease. “What are you not telling me?” He let out a slow exhale, the weight of the moment pressing down on him like a heavy chain. His dark eyes, once sharp with confidence, now shimmered with hesitation. “There’s more to this,” he admitted quietly, his voice carrying a gravelly edge. “The Hati Bulan didn’t just reveal our connection. It... warned me about what’s to come.”Rhea’s brow furrowed as she stepped back, putting some distance between them. “Warned you? About what?” Kaelan hesitated. He looked away, his jaw tightening. Words fought to surface, but he bit them back, as if saying them aloud would make the weight of the truth unbearable. “It spoke of a sacrifice,” he finally muttered, his v

“We don’t have a choice,” Kaelan said, cutting Rhea off. “If we don’t stop him, he’ll destroy everything. The packs, the prophecy, us.” He turned to Lila. “How much time do we have?” “Not much,” Lila admitted, her voice heavy with urgency. “He’s already on the move.” Kaelan clenched his fists, his body rigid with tension. “Then we leave now. We’ll take the forest route—it’ll be faster. If we cut him off before Eryon—” Rhea interrupted, her voice sharp. “You’re assuming we even know where he is.” Kaelan turned to her, his eyes dark and serious. “We’ll find him. Zane’s not subtle. He’ll leave a trail.” “And if he doesn’t?” she pressed. “What if he’s already in Eryon by the time we get there?” Kaelan’s jaw tightened, his frustration palpable. “Rhea, we don’t have time to argue about this. We move now, or we lose everything.” Rhea stared at him, her chest tight with anxiety. She hated this—hated the uncertainty, the danger, the feeling that they were always one step behind Z

“Running isn’t going to help you, little girl,” Zane’s voice growled, dark and menacing. His laughter still echoed in her ears, a cruel, mocking sound that clawed at her resolve. “You think you’ve got what it takes to beat me? You can’t even save yourself.”Rhea stumbled backward, her chest heaving as she fought to push down the panic rising in her throat. The walls of the dimly lit cavern seemed to close in around her, the air thick with the suffocating scent of damp earth and despair. Zane towered above her, his presence a suffocating shadow that pressed against her every move. “Stay away from me,” she spat through gritted teeth, her hands trembling as she raised them in front of her. She wasn’t sure what she meant to do—what she could do—but the heat in her chest burned brighter, sharper, as if daring her to use it.Zane’s grin widened, his fangs glinting in the faint light. “Or what? You’ll cry for your little mate to save you?” He stepped closer, his boots crunching against the

“Stronger,” he said simply. “More... alive.” Rhea smiled faintly, though her eyes were shadowed with worry. “I don’t feel strong,” she admitted. “I’m terrified, Kaelan. Of Zane. Of what’s coming. Of what I might be.” Kaelan’s jaw tightened, his golden eyes flashing briefly in the dim light of the clearing. “Fear doesn’t make you weak, Rhea. It makes you aware. It means you understand what’s at stake.” His voice softened, the edge of his usual gruffness giving way to something gentler. “I need you to trust that. Trust yourself. Because when the moment comes, you’ll know what to do.” Rhea hesitated, her breath catching. She wanted to believe him, but the weight of everything—the strange mark on her skin, the looming battle, and the fragile connection she and Kaelan had built—pressed down like a heavy stone on her chest. She raised her eyes to meet his, searching for certainty in his gaze. “What if I fail?” she whispered. Kaelan stepped closer, his hand brushing lightly against

“You can’t win, Kaelan!” Zane bellowed, his voice distorted. Shadows slithered around him, twisting like smoke, as his glowing green eyes burned with unnatural fury. The ground beneath Kaelan’s feet trembled, cracks spidering through the earth as if the forest itself recoiled from Zane’s dark power. Kaelan stood firm, his chest heaving with exhaustion. Blood trickled from a cut above his brow, stinging his vision, but he refused to look away. He had come this far—there was no turning back now. “You’ve always been weak,” Zane taunted, stepping closer, the shadows curling tighter around him like armor. “Without your wolf, without your strength, you’re nothing but a broken man clinging to scraps of the past.”“Maybe I was broken,” Kaelan growled, his voice low but steady. “But at least I’m not a coward who hides behind stolen power.”Zane’s face twisted into a snarl, his lips pulling back to reveal sharp, menacing teeth. “Coward? You dare call me a coward? You’ve lived your whole life

Kaelan looked into her eyes, his heart swelling with love and determination. “We rebuild,” he said. “Together.”Rhea smiled, her tears glistening in the moonlight. “Together,” she echoed.As the first rays of dawn broke through the trees, Kaelan and Rhea stood side by side, their hands intertwined. The battle was over. The forest was quiet again, its shadows stretching long and thin as the morning light crept over the horizon. But the silence was deceptive—it was the kind of quiet that came after destruction, where the echoes of violence still lingered, heavy and unspoken.Their peace didn’t last long.“Kaelan,” Rhea’s voice wavered, her smile faltering as her gaze shifted past him. Her eyes widened, filled with something between fear and disbelief. “What’s that?”Kaelan turned sharply, his instincts still raw from the fight with Zane. His body tensed as he followed her gaze to the horizon. Above the dense, sprawling forest that surrounded the town, the sky had begun to shift unnatura

Kaelan’s gaze remained fixed on the faint crimson glow in the distance, his shoulders tense. The air felt heavy, thick with an unease that he couldn’t shake. Rhea’s question hung between them, fragile but pressing.“Kaelan... what do we do now?” she repeated, her voice trembling just slightly as she stepped closer to him.Kaelan didn’t turn to her immediately. His jaw tightened, his mind racing through possibilities—none of them comforting. “We prepare,” he finally said, his voice low but resolute. “Whatever that is out there, it’s not done with us. And it’s not going to wait.”Rhea frowned, crossing her arms. “Prepare how? Kaelan, we don’t even know what we’re dealing with. How are we supposed to fight something we can’t understand?”He turned to her then, his expression hard but his eyes softening at the sight of her worry. “That’s why we need to understand it,” he said firmly. “Starting with... this.” He gestured toward her arm, where the faint glow of the strange mark had begun t

Kaelan didn’t answer right away. He stared into the darkness, his thoughts a tangled web of fear and hope. Finally, he turned to her, his expression serious. “What if it’s both?” he asked, his voice barely above a whisper. Rhea frowned, tilting her head slightly as she studied him. "Both what?" she asked, though her tone was cautious, as if she already knew the answer but needed him to say it aloud. Kaelan's jaw tightened, his hands curling into fists at his sides. "What if I’m both the protector they need... and the monster they fear?" The words hung in the air between them, heavy and raw, and for a moment, neither of them spoke. The dim light from the moon filtered through the window, casting long shadows across his face. Rhea stepped closer, her voice soft but firm. "You're not a monster, Kaelan. Not anymore." "How can you be so sure?" he shot back, his voice suddenly sharp as he turned to face her fully. "You’ve seen what I was. You’ve heard the stories. I ruled with f

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
