The Alpha's Curse: The Enemy Within Chapter 141
Sheila's point of viewI was all dolled up already. It was night time, and the party had started. Many guests from far regions had made appearances already. And some members of the Council had attended the ball already. I stood in front of the tall mirror that held my reflection. I looked really beautiful in the dress Killian picked for me. It was a gold floor-length mermaid-style dress with an embroidered corset at the top. It was stunning and matched my white and gold masquerade mask. I loved it.The door pulled open and Brielle stepped in. She was all dressed up as well, and her long black hair fell down her shoulders, stylishly."It's time," she smiled, joining me in the mirror. "There has never been so many people in the pack like tonight," she said. "Tonight's going to be so much fun.""Yeah," I whispered to myself. I turned to her, taking her in. There was something different about her. In a good way. "You look beautiful," I told her, examining her carefully.Brielle smiled, "

Sheila's point of viewI weaved my way through the crowd, with Morgan's hand still on my wrist."What happened back there?" He asked me with his green irises on me.I shook my head. "Nothing," That was all I had to say. I didn't understand what had happened back there. All I could feel was the vibrations within me, and the fearful feeling in my chest that was suffocating me. I took off my mask."Hey Sheila, take a deep breath," Morgan pulled me to a stop as he could hear the deafening banging of my heart against my chest."I will, but first, I must find Valerie," I left him in a haste and headed for the tall golden doors which led me outside into the cold darkness. I couldn't find Valerie nor Lorenzo.I gripped my heavy dress with my hands, pulling it up a little so I could move hastily. I was about to head for the witches' quarters when I felt Killian's presence.His scent encamped me as he held me close to him. "I've been looking everywhere for you.""Have you seen Valerie?" I asked

Sheila's point of viewMy eyes widened as I backed further away from him and his piercing stare. The golden gaze in his eyes sent a disturbing and cold chill down my spine."You?" I whispered breathlessly, as he kept watching me.He smirked wickedly and his image transformed. Killian's hair changed into a long golden one that fell in place behind his ears, slipping down to his shoulders and his face changed as well.A small gasp escaped my lungs as I was staring face to face with the man that had always crept into my thoughts. And for the first time in a long while, I felt fear.He was the stranger on the dance floor. He had somehow spelled himself to change his appearance. And now that the spell was broken, he no longer smelled like a pureblooded wolf.He pulled away from the table, taking slow calculated steps to where I remained rooted and stopped when he was a breath away. His towering height leaned closer, allowing me to gaze properly into his eyes. The scent of rosewood invaded

Sheila's point of viewI moved as fast as I could with my wolf's speed, racing out of the castle to find the disaster that had covered the pack. Dark smoke filled the air, and the smell of death invaded my nostrils. I tried to connect once more to Killian or anyone, but it wasn't working.I left the castle grounds and headed for the Packhouse. The pack was filled with chaos as the Dark Circle army had already attacked.I lifted my gaze to the sky to find a black veil hovering on the earth, covering the entire pack. My blue eyes widened as fear rose within me at the sight. That was the work of dark magic and has been placed on the pack to prevent the use of magic. And from it, several balls of flames fell, scattering around the pack. And several balls of flames were heading to the witches' quarters.Fear and panic kicked into my bones as I began heading to the quarters instead. Everyone at the quarters was in grave danger, and that included my brother.I shared control with Adie and we

Valerie's point of viewI was forced to step out of the castle and keep watch over the pack during the ball. My conversation with Sheila a few hours ago left me completely worried, especially about her dreams, and that worried me more. Maybe we should have canceled the ball after all.The pack had invited many guests to attend from within North Central and beyond, and because of that, we had lowered the protection spell guarding the pack. I was outside in the darkness when I felt the sudden shift in the air. It was almost unnoticeable, but I felt it.I pulled up the hood of my cloak, covering my hair properly. I sauntered back to the castle, heading to the ball in search of Lorenzo."Come with me," I left the grand hall with Lorenzo and we headed to the northern borders of the pack."What's happening, Val?" Lorenzo asked, glancing sideways."I don't know, there's a slight shift in the air, I can't describe it. Can't you feel it?" I asked, and he shook his head. This wasn't just parano

Sheila's point of viewI felt the hair on my skin stand, and then, I felt Killian. I felt his presence. My eyes scanned hurriedly across the meadow where I was fighting alongside Morgan and some of our warriors, against the Dark Circle wolves and vampires.I couldn't begin to describe the relief that flooded my chest as my blue eyes narrowed in on Killian. I had been worried, going crazy in search of Killian. I had been really scared something might have happened to him. That imbecile made it clear to me that he was after Killian's life.I would never be able to forgive myself if the unthinkable had happened to Killian. This was all my fault. I should have said something the second I began having those dreams about him. If I had, we wouldn't be in this situation. The pack won't be attacked and the lives of everyone I love wouldn't be in danger right now.Killian was next to me in a flash, and just then, I noticed Kaiser as well, he was in his wolf form. Killian's amber eyes connected

Sheila's point of viewI inhaled deeply, shifting under the warm silken covers. I turned gently on the bed, leaning deeper into the soft pillows as my eyes fell on that of my mate, sleeping next to me.I pulled closer to him, my blue eyes taking in all of him. I shut my eyes momentarily, breathing in his scent. It was a new dawn already, and even though the thick draperies had blocked out all lights, I could feel the gentle warmth of the sunlight that waited outside for me.I pulled my eyes open, firmly holding the covers around my naked body when I felt his presence at the back of my mind."I'm sorry I woke you up, I wanted you to sleep in for a few more minutes," I smiled, turning to peck his lips, pulling my eyes to meet his deep golden eyes.His strong arms gripped my waist, pinning me against the bed, and slowly, he leaned in to kiss me.I kissed him back, matching his fierce kisses. He pulled the covers away, pressing his naked body to mine, as his lips began trailing kisses dow

Sheila's point of viewI curled my right hand into a ball, feeling the scar on my palm. It reminded me of my rage, and everything I had lost, and the only emotion that filled my mind was hate, rage, and a maddening drive for revenge.My gaze softened as I felt my mate's comforting presence inside the corner walls of my mind, reminding me he would be there for me, always."Meeting adjourned," his voice filled the air, commandingly, and immediately, everyone was up from their seats, leaving the Dragon's court until it remained just my mate and me.He pulled up from his chair, stalking to where I was seated."It enrages me to see you in so much pain, love," his large hand caressed my cheek. It was cold as usual but I couldn't help but lean into it.My eyes fell on his flawless, and uniquely pale face. Vladimir was of mixed blood, being both a vampire and a wolf. He was one of the old wolves that magically transitioned into a vampire."I hate it too. But what do I do with this anger I fee

The Alpha's Curse: The Enemy Within THE END
Sheila's point of viewI adjusted the little bundle of joy in my arms, feeling his tiny warmth against my body. He was simply beautiful, sleeping peacefully in my arms as I fiddled with his baby fingers.My lips curled into a small smile, and for a second, I couldn't hide the elation that swirled within my chest just looking at his adorable little face. Slowly, I walked to the beautiful wooden cradle and gently placed Wren in it.Staring at his beautiful face, I couldn't stop my mind from thinking about my dreams that had been constant for a week now. At first, it confused me, because even after the war and everything, some things had still not made sense to me. Like the visions I had seen from Amelie's crystal ball. She had been lucid with her words that my choice would decide whatever future was to come.At first, I had thought my death would be the way out to save everyone I loved and ensure a future where everyone survived. But it wasn't supposed to be so, my death would have ruin
The Alpha's Curse: The Enemy Within Chapter 182
Killian's point of viewI held Sheila's body in my arms. She was fucking cold, and her heartbeat was getting slower by the second. I clutched her tightly to myself, my amber eyes moving up ahead to where Zeriyah, Valerie, Lorenzo, Zena, Gwen, and the few witches that didn't join the war at the Council were. They were all moving as fast as they could, trying to get everything needed for the ritual in order.My amber eyes drifted off to Leonardo who was with Vladimir's unconscious body not far from us. I sighed, bringing my gaze back to the binding around Sheila's neck. Zeriyah said it was to buy us enough time to get ready for the ritual and slow the dark magic from completely taking control of Sheila. We needed Sheila to be in control for this to work. My eyes rounded when I noticed that the silver binding around Sheila's neck had begun to melt. She was fucking cold, and yet the silver brace was melting."The silver is melting," I said quickly, and Lorenzo hastened to my side."Her ma

Killian's point of viewFrom the top mountains, we could already see the troop of warriors from Vladimir's army roar their way into North Central. I heaved a deep sigh, holding tightly onto my horse's reins, feeling my blood turn dreadfully cold. This was it. The time we battle for our lives, and either win against fate or lose.My deep, worried amber eyes lifted to the dark sky, and the giant full moon in it. Sheila has escaped, and right now, almost half of the Council's army were searching for her. They were all scared, believing the darkness had taken full control of the vessel.I sighed again, wishing that wasn't the case and I hoped Valerie and Lorenzo were having better luck than we were. Zeriyah had called for them urgently, requesting their presence immediately. It had something to do with Shota's magic. I wanted to be there as well, but Sheila was still missing, and we had to find her, hopefully before the war ended and the full moon turned red.I took in a long breath, gla
The Alpha's Curse: The Enemy Within Chapter 180
Sheila's point of viewI had no way of knowing exactly how many hours had gone by since my mother's spell room was located underground in the castle. But I knew with the long, torturous hours that had wandered by, it had to be dusk by now.I inhaled, resting against the wooden frame of the bed. Killian still hasn't returned, and I haven't seen Kaiser nor Valerie since I had woken up. The only people that had wandered around were Lorenzo and Zena when they came to fetch my blood, and I could feel Leonardo's presence behind those doors, but he couldn't muster the strength to face me again.I closed my eyes, and tears rolled out. They never stopped coming, even so now that I could feel the end was near. I had made a choice already, one Killian would never forgive me for, but I would never forgive myself, knowing I was the cause of so many deaths including my family. I had chosen to just let go. To stop fighting, to stop trying, and for once accept my fate.I burst out in tears; I couldn'
The Alpha's Curse: The Enemy Within Chapter 179
Sheila's point of viewI couldn't stop groaning in pain. This time, the pain came from everywhere, tearing me up inside. I groaned again, curling up against a warm softness. My head felt lightheaded, my eyelashes felt so heavy to pull open, my bones aching against their joints, and my energy completely drained.With so much effort, I pushed my eyes open, fluttering them consistently to keep my vision clear and steady for a second. The instant I got a clear view of the blank air, memories of my conversation with Amelie flooded my mind mercilessly, all at once, that caused my breathing to become rough and erratic and the tears from the deep sadness I felt drowned my blue ocean gaze and I couldn't stop it as I was reminded of my reality. I was the end for everyone and the war was in two days. I had to tell everyone.I tried to pull myself up but I couldn't, it was then I took notice of my surroundings. I was on a bed, but the last thing I remembered was leaving the Council, and then, the
The Alpha's Curse: The Enemy Within Chapter 178
Sheila's point of viewI screamed back to reality, jerking away from Amelie and her black crystal ball. My eyes were completely blurry with tears, and they never stopped rushing down.It couldn't be. I shook my head, as my teary gaze met with Amelie's dark hooded ones. She was staring at me with tears in her eyes as well."It can't be me. I would have known," I couldn't stop shaking my head, as more tears rushed down. I had wanted desperately to know exactly what was wrong with me. I had even considered this possibility, but now it was difficult to believe that I would be the end of every one. I killed poor Cora, and everyone was next.Amelie inhaled deeply, also in tears. She shook her head gently. "Everyone has a part to play," she muttered, slowly. "The end for everyone is coming with the war. In two days. You can destroy us all, and save us as well. Be prepared to make a choice, Sheila, and do what you must.""What choice, Amelie?" My broken voice sounded in a whisper."You will k
The Alpha's Curse: The Enemy Within Chapter 177
Sheila's point of view"Hello! My name is Sheila. Welcome to the Crescent North Pack," I said with a warm smile, holding out my hand to the new family that just arrived at the pack. "You must be exhausted, so I'll take you straight to your chambers, so you'll get settled in," They were part of the survivors from the West regions that were forced into hiding when Vladimir began to make attacks on the regions.These last few days, the pack had opened its territories to anyone needing refuge during the war. We had no idea how or when the war would be, but we were ready.I led them to one of the vacant quarters near the Packhouse. I showed them to their chambers and helped them settle in, before leaving.I kept catching Killian staring at me, now and then. He hasn't left the Pack today. He's been training with the warriors from our pack and the Grey Wolf pack, but I knew he was only keeping an eye on me and that was beyond frustrating.Even with the few tasks I had been using to try to ke
The Alpha's Curse: The Enemy Within Chapter 176
Killian's point of view"No, fucking no," I was completely still, unable to move, think, or breathe. "Sheila can't be the vessel," I muttered. Hearing the words leave my lips, I realized how badly I had hoped this wasn't the case. I had hoped this was just one of those silly thoughts.I watched as Lorenzo slowly fell on a chair; his hands clasped firmly against each other."How can you be so sure?" I moved closer to him."I did the spell over and over again. Sheila's blood has an anomaly, Killian. It's tainted with dark magic," Lorenzo spoke slowly and his every word was like a stab to my chest."No, Lorenzo. Sheila cannot be the vessel. She can't be. It's not possible, she's a fucking white wolf!" I leaned on the table for support, gazing deep into Lorenzo's eyes."I don't know how it happened, but that darkness has been in Sheila all this time, and it managed to stay hidden. Sheila has been the one preparing for the blood ritual."I groaned internally at the pain that tore through m
The Alpha's Curse: The Enemy Within Chapter 175
Sheila's point of viewI still haven't recovered from the shock from earlier when I was at the Council. The dagger had burned me. But why?Adie came up with the umpteenth reason why, but none of it made sense why the dagger burnt me. I plopped down on the bed in Killian's chamber. I had left the Council and came back home to prepare for the ritual tonight. Even though deep down, I knew that was just a lie, and I could tell Valerie suspected it. At that time, I just wanted to leave that place.My eyes shifted to the darkness already lurking outside the window. I should be on my way to the Council now, but all of a sudden, I didn't want to. I didn't understand my sudden fears these days, it was so unlike me, but I had to admit. I felt so frightened deep down, and I had no idea why. I just didn't want to go for the ritual all of a sudden.Maybe Killian was right. Maybe I needed some rest.I contemplated going to Lorenzo, but I knew the spell he was working on wouldn't be completed by now
