The Damned Alpha Forty-Three
The stillness within the chamber was ghostly, as though the air had been depleted of life. Ethan and Selene remained on the cold stone floor, breathing intensely, their bodies and minds battered by the fight they had just engaged in. The crystal's once dynamic shine had diminished, casting long shadows over the chamber.Ethan pushed himself to his feet, each muscle in his body challenging. The adrenaline that had fueled him amid the battle was quickly blurring, taking off behind a profound depletion that debilitated to drag him beneath. He stretched his hand to Selene, to get her on her feet.“Are you okay?” he inquired, concern embedded in his voice.Selene gestured, in spite of the fact that her eyes were far off, still preparing what they had just experienced. “I think so. But… that was too close.”Ethan couldn’t argue with that. The power of the crystal had been their salvation, but it had also nearly destroyed them. He could still feel the remnants of its energy coursing through
The Damned Alpha Chapter Forty-Four
The fortress shivered as Ethan and Selene came to the expanding entrance, their hearts beating with a blend of fear and bravery. The sky outside was a whirling mass of obscurity, punctuated by flashes of ghostly, unnatural light. The storm that had lingered on the skyline for so long now appeared to be merging on a single point, the epicenter of which was straightforwardly over them."We need to find Clara," Ethan said, his voice firm in spite of the uneasiness chewing at his intestine. He knew that time was slipping through their fingers like sand, and anything Clara was preparing, they had to stop her before it became late. Selene nodded, her expression set with steely resolve. "Whatever she's doing, it's influencing the storm. If by any chance she succeeds, there's no telling what will happen."They ventured out into the storm, the wind whipping at their dress and pulling at their hair. The land around the fortress was unrecognizable, the once-lush forest now a bent, fruitless no
The Damned Alpha Chapter Forty-Five
Ethan's world was a chaotic obscure of shadows and torment as he fell through the collapsing earth. He listened to the cries of Selene and Lena from afar off, but they were suffocated out by the thunder of the chasm that had opened underneath them. His intellect dashed, attempting to understand the sheer scale of what was happening. They plunged into a void, the obscurity around them thick and impervious. His instincts shouted at him to brace up for effect, but the drop was so long, so profound, that he dreaded there could be no foot.And after that with a bone-jarring crash, Ethan hit the ground. The breath was thumped out of him, and he lay still for a minute, battling to recapture his faculties. The torment was sharp and immediate, but he was alive.“Ethan!” Selene's voice was a life saver within the obscurity. He constrained himself to move, to sit up, and come out indiscriminately until he found her hand. She pulled him up, and together they stunned to their feet. “Lena?” Ethan
The Damned Alpha Chapter Forty-Six
Ethan got up, panting for breath. The world around him was a whirling mass of shadows and light, and for a minute, he wasn't beyond any doubt if he was still falling or if he had hit the ground. The strong brightness of Clara's last assault waited in his vision, making afterimages that moved within the dull.He rapidly realized that he was lying on strong ground, the hard surface cold against his skin. The torment in his body was a gloomy throb, and each muscle felt like it had been put through a grinder. But he was alive, which was something.“Selene… Lena…” he croaked, his voice scarcely over a whisper. He constrained himself to sit up, each movement sending shocks of torment through his body. His eyes gradually balanced to the obscurity, and he could make out two shapes lying a number of feet absent.With extraordinary exertion, Ethan crept over to them, his heart beating in his chest. “Please be okay,” he mumbled beneath his breath, stretching out to touch Selene's bear. She moane
The Damned Alpha Chapter Forty-Seven
Ethan's body throbbed with the repercussions of the blast, each breath a reminder of how close they had come to total annihilation. He coughed, attempting to clear the dust from his lungs as he pushed himself up on unstable arms. The chamber was unrecognizable now, the once perfect dividers split and disintegrating, the conduits that had carried the green energy now glinting pitifully and totally dim.“Lena? Selene?” Ethan croaked, his voice dry from the dust and the strain. His heart beat as he filtered the flotsam and jetsam, frantic to find them.“Here…” a frail voice reacted, taken after by a cough. Ethan whipped around to see Selene slowly pulling herself out from beneath a collapsed beam, her face pale but determined.He stumbled over to her, helping to lift the debris off her legs. “Are you okay?”“Yeah, I think so,” she panted, grimacing as she tested her weight on her legs. “Just a bit battered. Where’s Lena?”Ethan’s heart sank. He hadn't seen her however, the thought of her
The Damned Alpha Chapter Forty-Eight
The onerous darkness closed around Ethan, Lena, and Selene as they stood at the brink of the Abyss exhausted. The ruddy eyes within the distance burned like twin coals, observing them with pernicious aim. The snarl that was taken after sent a shudder down their spines, a reminder that they were not alone.Ethan fixed his grasp on Lena's hand, pulling her closer as they took a cautious step forward. The floor underneath them was cold and uneven, just like the surface of a rough cavern. The whispers whirled around them, muddled however hauntingly familiar, as though the very air was alive with the voices of the lost.“Where are we?” Lena whispered, her voice trembling with fear. She crushed Ethan's hand firmly, her eyes wide as she attempted to see through the darkness.“This place… it feels ancient,” Selene mumbled, her voice scarcely capable of being heard. “Like we’ve stepped into another world entirely. Whatever this Abyss is, it’s not of our time.”Ethan checked their environment,
The Damned Alpha Chapter Forty-Nine
Ethan's breath came in brief wheezes as he, Lena, and Selene took in their new surroundings. The chamber they had been in minutes before had vanished, supplanted by a tremendous, unending field of bizarre, moving scenes. The sky was a whirl of unnatural colors of purples, reds, and debilitated greens, intermixed with streaks of dark lightning. The ground underneath them was unsteady, as though it couldn't choose whether it needed to be strong shake or fluid tar. Everything appeared to be in a steady state of flux, even the very texture of reality was fraying at the edges.“This… this can't be real,” Lena whispered, her voice filled with admiration and fear. She turned in circles, attempting to locate a few points of reference, but there was none. “Where are we?”Selene bowed her head downwards as she ran her fingers over the ground, feeling the odd, moving surface underneath her fingertips. “This place… it's like nothing I've ever laid eyes on. It's as though we've been pulled into an
The Damned Alpha Chapter Fifty
When the light blurred, Ethan found himself standing alone within the clearing, the box still clutched in his hand. The mist had lifted, the forest around him was frightfully quiet, and there was no sign of Lena or Selene. The old tree with its turned branches was gone, clearing out nothing but a charred fix of every where it had stood.“Lena! Selene!” Ethan called out, his voice reverberating through the purge scene. There was no reaction, just the oppressive silence that appeared to close in around him.His heart beat as he attempts to understand what had happened. One minute, they had been on the brink of a last showdown with the Abyss, and now… nothing. Had the Abyss succeeded in separating them? Or worse, had it already won?Ethan’s grip tightened on the wooden box. The runes on its surface had gone dark, their eerie glow extinguished. Whatever power the box held, it was dormant now, and Ethan couldn’t shake the feeling that time was running out.He took a deep breath, forcing hi

The Damned Alpha Chapter One Hundred And One (Final Chapter)
The tremors within the ground heightens, the echoes of dim enchantment resounding through the air as the abyss appeared to cling to Marcus's very soul. Clara bowed next to him, her heart dashing as she held his hand firmly, her eyes filled with courage and love. The chamber around them was still trembling with the aftermath of their battle, but Clara’s focus was entirely on Marcus. The curse was fighting to keep its hold on him, and she could feel the dark tendrils still embedded in his spirit.Ethan, Mariam, and Fenrik stood a few steps away, catching their breath after the battle. They traded stressed looks, knowing that this was the ultimate test. If they could break the curse, at that point everything they had battled for, all the sacrifices they had made, would not be in vain."Clara," Marcus whispered, his voice frail but unfaltering, "I do not want to leave you. I need to fight this, but I do not know if I can.""You will not fight this alone," Clara said firmly. She leaned clo
The Damned Alpha Chapter One Hundred
As Marcus lay recovering, Clara’s heart ached with relief, but her mind couldn’t shake the looming sense of dread. The tremors had subsided, but the darkness that had briefly returned wasn’t gone, it was hiding, waiting. The sky, once brightening with the new dawn, seemed veiled in an eerie, gray mist that swirled as though alive.Marcus slowly sat up, his body still weak from the ritual, but his eyes were clear. “Clara...,” he began, his voice hoarse.“Don’t speak,” Clara urged, gently pushing him back down. “You need to rest.”“I’m fine,” he insisted, though his strength was clearly not back. He looked into her eyes, his hand finding hers. “You saved me, Clara.”A brief, tender silence passed between them, but there was no time for it to last. Ethan stepped forward, his expression tense. “We need to move,” he said. “Whatever that was, it’s not over.”Clara nodded, and though she wanted to stay by Marcus’s side, she knew Ethan was right. The battle wasn’t done yet.The group didn’t l
The Damned Alpha Chapter Ninety-Nine
The Abyss had been destroyed, but the aftermath hung heavy in the air. The void that once undermined to consume everything was now a calm, destroyed field, its perpetual obscurity supplanted with spooky silence. Clara stopped by Marcus's side, her heart pounding as she checked his beat. He was alive, barely.“Stay with me, Marcus,” she said softly, her voice breaking as she brushed his hair from his forehead. Blood seeped through his torn clothing where the claws of the void’s heart had struck him. His breathing was shallow, each rise of his chest labored and weak.Ethan and Mariam arrived at her side, their faces etched with concern. Ethan knelt beside Clara, his hands glowing faintly as he pressed them over Marcus’s wounds.“I can slow the bleeding,” Ethan said, his voice strained. “But whatever that thing did to him, it’s deep. Dark magic, he’s not healing as he should.”Mariam’s expression was terrible as she studied the scene. “We need to get him out of here now. This place still
The Damned Alpha Chapter Ninety-Eight
Marcus’s hands clawed the empty air as he plummeted into the chasm, Clara’s scream echoing through the void beside him. The sensation of falling was endless, as though the darkness itself had swallowed them whole. His wolf senses heightened, desperate to find a foothold or something to grab onto, but there was nothing, only an abyss so deep and ancient it felt like the very heart of the universe.Suddenly, the fall stopped. Marcus landed with a sharp thud, rolling into a crouch as his claws scraped the ground. His vision blurred momentarily, but he could feel Clara nearby. She was alive. The connection between them was still strong, burning with the intensity of the light they had forged together in the battle above.“Clara!” Marcus called out, his voice hoarse as he forced himself to stand. He checked the harsh darkness around him. There was no ground, no sky, just a perpetual field of dark.“I'm here,” Clara's voice came from behind him, frail but consistent. She faltered toward him
The Damned Alpha Chapter Ninety- Seven
Brutal tremors shook the ground beneath Marcus and Clara as they stood together, peering into the abyss from which the massive shadowy figure was emerging. Ethan, Mariam, and their allies formed a defensive ring, getting ready for the upcoming confrontation.“We’ve fought through everything,” Ethan growled, his voice tense but determined. “We’re not backing down now.”Marcus’s eyes narrowed as the towering creature loomed over them, its glowing eyes scanning the group with a malevolent hunger. This wasn’t just any shadow, this was something primal, something ancient, far beyond the darkness they had faced so far.“We broke the curse,” Clara whispered, clutching her dagger tightly. “But this... this is different.”The creature took one massive step forward, its claws tearing through the ground. The air grew colder, and a suffocating darkness fell over them. Marcus could feel the weight of the curse that had once shackled him pulling at his heart, but now, his soul burned with the fire
The Damned Alpha Chapter Ninety-Six
The world had finally begun to heal. With the heart of the void destroyed, the darkness that had plagued Marcus, Clara, Ethan, and their companions was gone. The landscapes they passed on their journey north were bright with life, forests vibrant with greens, rivers clear and sparkling. Even the air felt lighter, free from the oppressive energy that once clung to it.But for Marcus, a storm still brewed inside.As they rode towards the northern realms, Marcus’s thoughts were heavy with Clara’s words, and with the curse that bound him. Though their victory had been decisive, his battle was far from over. The curse still coiled around his soul, keeping him from fully embracing the love he felt for her. Clara, riding beside him, was determined, her gaze fixed on the horizon. She was resolute in finding a way to break Marcus’s curse, no matter the cost.Marcus glanced at her, his heart tight with a mixture of hope and fear. The thought of finally being free of being able to love her witho
The Damned Alpha Chapter Ninety-Five
The abyss below swallowed Marcus, Clara, Ethan, Mariam, and their companions whole, plunging them into a swirling maelstrom of shadow and chaos. The Forgotten Realm, already twisted and unnatural, now seemed intent on trapping them within its darkest corner, the very heart of the void.As they tumbled through the darkness, Clara’s hand reached out instinctively, finding Marcus’s. Their fingers intertwined, and for a brief moment, amidst the chaos, there was calm. But this calm was short-lived as they were spat out into a vast chamber, the ground trembling beneath their feet. The heart of the void pulsed at the center, a massive, swirling vortex of pure darkness, its energy suffocating.The void was alive.Marcus shifted into his human form, his wolf side now too dangerous to control in this environment. “This is it. The core of everything.”The heart of the void radiated a malevolent energy that tugged at their souls. Shadows peeled off its surface, taking grotesque forms, guardians o
The Damned Alpha Chapter Ninety-Four
As dawn broke over the battle-scarred landscape, the world seemed eerily still. The weight of their victory over the abyss was heavy in the air, but the sense of finality was missing. Marcus, Clara, Ethan, and Mariam stood at the edge of the ravine where the final confrontation had taken place, gazing out over the ruins of what had once been a thriving forest. The shadows were gone, and the dark armies obliterated, but something lingered, a presence, barely detectable but undeniable.Clara turned to Marcus, her eyes reflecting the weariness they all felt. "It's too quiet. After everything, this doesn’t feel... finished."Marcus, his keen senses alert, frowned as he surveyed their surroundings. "I know. The abyss is gone, but the air feels wrong, like it’s holding its breath."Mariam, her energy drained from the prolonged battles, nodded in agreement. "There's an old saying in the ancient texts. 'Where the abyss falls, the void awakens.' I thought it was just a legend, but now..."Etha
The Damned Alpha Chapter Ninety-Three
The victorious glow that had settled over the group began to fade as the sky blackened unnaturally, the air crackling with tension. Marcus stood frozen, his sharp gaze fixed on the horizon. Clara felt the energy in the air shift, colder and more menacing than anything she had experienced before.“What is that?” Clara asked, her voice barely audible as the ground trembled beneath them.Ethan, his eyes scanning the sky, frowned deeply. “We destroyed the abyss… but this… this is something else. This feels older, darker.”From the distant mountains, the figure that had begun to rise now stood fully revealed. Its massive form blotted out the sun, casting a shadow across the entire valley. The creature was nothing like the abyss soldiers they had faced. It was ancient, its presence steeped in a malevolent power that had been dormant for centuries. As the ground shook, so did their confidence.Marcus stepped forward, his wolf senses heightened as he growled. “This isn’t over. It was lying in
