Cursed Alpha, Chosen Love Blood and Bonds
“You are weak, Kaelan.”The Elder Wolf’s voice reverberated like a low rumble of thunder, vibrating through the battlefield like an earthquake. The air was thick with the acrid scent of blood, sweat, and burning earth. Kaelan staggered back, panting heavily, his vision blurred from the exhaustion and pain that enveloped him like a suffocating shroud. His once-pristine shirt, now torn and tattered, was soaked with crimson, a testament to the relentless onslaught he had endured. His body was battered, each bruise a reminder of the fierce struggle he faced.But he refused to fall.“Weak?” Kaelan spat blood onto the ground, his golden eyes burning with defiance. “I am still standing.”The Elder Wolf sneered, his monstrous form looming over Kaelan like a shadow of death, a living embodiment of despair. His fur was black as the void, absorbing the light around him, while his eyes glowed with an unnatural crimson light that seemed to pierce through the darkness. He was bigger, stronger, fast

"You think this is a victory?"Eryn's voice cut through the heavy silence, sharp and laced with fury. The survivors of the battle stood around the makeshift infirmary, their bodies battered, their spirits frayed. The air smelled of blood, sweat, and damp earth, a haunting reminder of the fight they had just endured.Kaelan didn’t answer. He couldn't. His gaze was locked on Rhea’s pale face, her breath so faint it barely stirred the air. The sight of her lying there, so still, felt like a knife twisting in his gut.Eryn stepped closer, shoving him hard in the chest. "Look at me, Kaelan!"He didn’t move, his hands clenched at his sides, his heart pounding with guilt."Elias is dead." Eryn's voice cracked, but her eyes burned with fury. "Half the pack is wounded. And Rhea—" She gestured to the fragile woman lying motionless. "She might not wake up."Kaelan swallowed hard, the words cutting deeper than any blade."You led us into this. You swore you’d protect us." Eryn’s voice trembled, f

"This is madness, Kaelan."The words sliced through the tension in the gathering hall like a knife. Kaelan sat at the head of the long wooden table, his sharp gaze fixed on Dorian, one of the older warriors of the pack. The air was thick with unspoken doubts, and others around the table shifted uneasily, glancing between their Alpha and the dissenting voice."You would rather we continue as we always have?" Kaelan’s voice was steady, but there was an unmistakable edge to it. "Blind loyalty to a single ruler, unchecked power, and decisions made without counsel?"Dorian leaned forward, his fingers tightening into fists. "That is the way of the pack. The Alpha leads. The pack follows. It's the law of nature. Strength determines authority.""And yet strength alone nearly destroyed us." Rhea’s voice cut in, calm but firm. She stood beside Kaelan, her presence a silent testament to his transformation. "Blind rule led to tyranny, to unnecessary bloodshed. You think strength means ruling alon

"It's still out there," Rhea whispered, her fingers tightening around the dagger strapped to her thigh. The cold metal felt reassuring against her skin, a reminder of the fight they had just endured. "I can feel it watching us."Kaelan exhaled slowly, his breath misting in the cold night air. "Let it watch." His voice was low, controlled, but there was an underlying tension that betrayed his calm demeanor. "It won’t live to see the dawn."The pack had been celebrating their long-awaited peace, but Kaelan knew better. The presence lurking just beyond the treeline was a reminder that their battle wasn’t over. This wasn’t Zane, nor was it one of his fallen warriors—it was something else. A twisted remnant of the Elder Wolf’s power, a creature clinging desperately to existence.And it wanted revenge.The forest stood unnaturally still. Even the wind held its breath, as if the world itself was waiting for the inevitable confrontation."What do we do?" Rhea asked, her tone calm but alert, t

"This is madness, Kaelan! You can’t be serious!"The sharpness in Rhea’s voice cut through the crisp night air like a blade. Her amber eyes burned with frustration, reflecting the flickering torchlight of the village square. The gathered wolves watched in tense silence, their breath caught in their throats, waiting for their Alpha’s response.Kaelan stood tall, his gaze unwavering as he faced her. His presence was as commanding as ever, his broad shoulders squared, but there was something different now—something softer beneath the hardened edges of his demeanor. He exhaled slowly, as if choosing his words carefully, weighing the risk of every syllable."I am serious, Rhea. This is what’s best for the pack."Rhea took a step closer, her jaw clenched tightly as if holding back a torrent of emotions. "You think sending our best warriors out there, beyond the safe borders, is the answer? Have you forgotten what we fought for? What we lost? The sacrifices that were made?"Kaelan’s hands cu
Last Updated : 2025-03-21Cursed Alpha, Chosen Love The Council’s First Test
"You want us to just accept this offer blindly?" Kaelan’s voice cut through the tension in the council chamber. His piercing gaze landed on the scroll laid out on the table, its crimson seal broken. The air was thick with uncertainty, a palpable anxiety that seemed to cling to the walls like an unwelcome shadow. The council chamber, once a place of strategic discussions and fervent debates, now felt like a battleground of ideas, where the stakes were nothing less than the future of their pack.Across from him, Marcus, one of the newly appointed council members, crossed his arms defiantly. “It’s not about blind acceptance. It’s about strategy. The Blackridge Pack is extending a hand—we should at least hear them out.” His tone was firm, but Kaelan could see the nervousness hidden beneath his bravado. Marcus was new to this world of power struggles and alliances, and he was eager to prove himself.Rhea, sitting beside Kaelan, frowned deeply, her brow furrowed in concern. “They didn’t jus

"This is a mistake."Torin’s voice was low but edged with frustration as he adjusted the straps on his leather bracers. His gaze flicked to Kaelan, who walked ahead, leading their small group down the worn path through the dense forest. The trees towered above them, their thick branches forming a canopy that filtered the late afternoon light into dappled shadows.Kaelan didn’t slow. "No choice. We need to know what Alaric is planning."Torin exhaled sharply. "Knowing won’t change the fact that we’re walking straight into his territory, blind.""Then keep your eyes open," Rhea interjected.She kept pace beside Kaelan, her expression calm but unreadable. She had insisted on coming, and though Kaelan hated the risk, he knew better than to argue with her. Still, unease gnawed at the edges of his thoughts. The invitation from Alaric had been too smooth, too well-timed.A peace offering wrapped in the scent of a trap.The silence between them stretched as they moved deeper into the woods. Th

The scent of betrayal was thick in the air, an acrid reminder of the treachery that lay ahead. Kaelan’s sharp eyes flicked between the dark silhouettes emerging from the dense tree line, his senses heightened. The fire in the center of the delegation's camp crackled ominously, casting flickering shadows on the wary faces of his packmates. What had been anticipated as a pivotal meeting with Alaric’s envoys was quickly unraveling into a nightmare. The supposed alliance was nothing but a setup, a trap laid with the intent of destruction."We were fools to trust them," Rhea murmured, her voice low but steady, a thread of steel woven through her words. Her fingers tightened around the dagger at her side, a weapon that had seen too many battles. Kaelan's jaw clenched, a surge of anger coursing through him. His instincts had screamed at him from the moment they had stepped into Blackridge territory, a primal warning he had chosen to ignore in the name of diplomacy. Now, as he surveyed the e

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
