The Alpha's Curse: The Enemy Within Chapter 163
Leonardo's point of view"My name is Zena, Kaiser's mate, and I was sent here by your brothers, both of them," The woman sounded carefully, her brown eyes shifting from me to Morgan as my blue eyes narrowed on her."What??" I heard several gasps from Xavier, Jax, and a few warriors that surrounded her.I couldn't hide the shock and confusion swirling in my depths. I took a step closer, my blue eyes taking in everything about this witch. I also noticed the symbol of the Dark Circle on her arm, and there was a small pyramid symbol on her wrist.Morgan moved closer to her with his gaze raw with emotions. "What are you saying?" He was struggling to keep his emotions together, and frankly, so was I.Zena's gaze traveled around, before meeting Morgan's again. "I am saying I was sent here by my mate, Kaiser Black, and his friend, Killian Reid," She paused, "Your brother," she added, her words shocking us completely."My brother is—" Morgan started, vibrating with an unidentified emotion."Al

Leonardo's point of viewWe were gathered in the Council's castle, along with Zeriyah, a few of her witches, the Elder wolves, and a few members of the Council when Felix rushed through the doors at great speed."I came back here as fast as I could," he said sharply, his feline eyes darting around. "What happened now, your words sounded extremely urgent and disturbing.""Yes, Felix. This is important as well as urgent. Please, take a seat," Elder Philip moved his hand in the air, pointing at one of the vacant seats."What is this all about?" He moved closer to the round table. "And what about the others?""We cannot wait for them. This is important," Zeriyah spoke, and just then, I pulled up from my seat, moved to the tall doors, and shut them closed."What happened?" He asked cautiously, moving his eyes from me back to the Elder wolves."We have been information about Vladimir's operations, and his possible location, Oasis," Elder Zeke sounded."What?" Felix shuffled in his seat, "Ho

Sheila's point of viewI was right outside the cave, feeling the cool satisfying breeze of the night as I watched the witches trooping into the cave, all dressed in the ceremonial red cloak of the Dark Circle. I was wearing one as well. It was almost time for the ritual as I could already feel the power of the Blood moon.It was almost upon us and I hoped Kaiser and Killian were doing great. And Zena too, I hoped she had succeeded in getting to Leo and Morgan. Ever since she had left Oasis with the army, we didn't know how things had gone and so far, the Dark Circle hasn't received a word from the army.I peered once more at the dark, starless sky, and right before my eyes the Blood moon appeared, and I felt its great magic. It was time. I made my way into the cave. Every second of the last eight weeks had brought me to this moment and I couldn't wait for this night to be over. I inhaled, feeling a shiver ripple down my spine.I moved through the rough rocky path, going deeper into th

Sheila's point of viewThe witches' chants echoed within the walls of the cave, as we carried on with the ritual. I could feel the power of the four phoenix stones mixing with the water. It was time to move on to the next phase of the ritual. Nikolai nodded to one of the witches from his coven, and he stepped forward, bringing the dagger specifically for the ritual to me.I took it from him, holding its black handle. I started chanting in a foreign language, and the magical symbols on the dagger began to glow. I strode to the crystalline waters that shone with the magic of the phoenix stones.Vladimir was still in it, his deep golden eyes narrowed on me as I brought the sharp blade to his throat. I hesitated briefly, as his unreadable gaze burned into mine. For the next phase of the ritual, the chosen vessel had to be dead while we perform the resurgent ritual. The vessel's throat had to be slit with the black dagger, with the blood mixing into the crystalline waters now holding the m

Killian's point of viewFor a second, my body was completely paralyzed. I couldn't stop the wild drumming of my heart in my ears as I carried Sheila's cold body in my arms and left the place, moving out to the narrow path of the cave.Sheila was completely stiff and her body cold. My rounded, fearful eyes fell on the part of her stomach that was covered with blood. She had been wounded, but the wound was not so deep. Why the fuck wasn't she healing?I cleared the rocks that lay around, carefully placing her on the ground, my large hands cupping her cheeks as I tried everything to get her awake. The more I failed, I could feel myself a second away from going nuts. Panic and frenzy knotted my chest, and Ryker's insane clawing and growling were worsening the situation. I just couldn't think straight."Sheila please, come on," I tried again, but nothing. And it was at that fearful moment, I realized something. I couldn't hear her heartbeat. I lost whatever control I had been holding on to

Sheila's point of viewI moaned internally at the endless sparks that journeyed deep in my bones, breathing both warmth and life into my soul. I flung my head to my left, feeling Killian's toned and muscular arms around me, forcing an ear-to-ear smile on my lips. The soothing beat of Killian's heart and his wet skin against mine calmed me. I opened my eyes gently and I found Killian's amber irises watching me. I chuckled."Have you been watching me sleep?" I asked with a cheeky grin, wiping my lashes with the back of my hand, while Killian helped tuck loose strands of my brown curls behind my ears."I had no choice. I couldn't risk closing my eyes, only to realize having you here beside me was just a dream," he replied in the softest voice that made Adie purr at the back of my mind.I smiled as my eyes naughtily ran over Killian's body. He just came out from showering with a white woolen towel around his waist. He was tempting and my body yearned for him immediately. His wet curls tri

Sheila's point of view"It's about the Shota's magic," Zeriyah said, her dark gaze traveling the faces of everyone in the Court."What happened?" I leaned forward against the giant table, my deep gaze moving from Amelie whose eyes were now focused on the black crystal ball in her slender fingers. She looked as though her mind was lost somewhere in it."Last night during the Blood moon, Amelie had two visions. One was of an all-out war and the other was about Shota's magic," Zeriyah paused, her dark gaze found mine. "It's free."Several gasps broke out, and I was left completely speechless for a fucking second. "That's not possible," I muttered more to myself, clutching my hands together."I do know that. We were told Vladimir had fled after the attack, and the Shota's magic was imprisoned back in its cage by you. But the visions are never clear, but they never lie as well. Something must have happened or gone wrong during the ritual. But that darkness found a vessel last night," she s

Sheila's point of viewI was covered with sweat and breathing heavily by the time I was done training with the young warriors who were in their first year of shifting. We had begun training every young male and female so they would be able to protect themselves if the time ever came. Every pack, coven, and kingdom in North Central and those that survived from other regions had begun extensive training for the war that was almost upon us. We had no idea when Vladimir was going to strike, but his silence so far only meant one thing. He was rebuilding his army, and we had to be ready.I walked through the castle doors and hurried quickly to the kitchen to get some water. Ria was there as well, having her meal in her training clothes, and she was also part of the training. My eyes scanned around, and there was no sign of Brielle."Where's Brielle?" I asked, settling on the seat next to Ria.A short smile found Ria's lips. "Somewhere around, I guess. Probably venting her frustration out or

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
The Alpha's Curse: The Enemy Within Chapter 181
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
