All Chapters of Alpha's Curse: The Healer's Secret: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Dawn painted the pack lands in shades of gold as Elara stood at the territory border, maintaining Landon's characteristic rigid posture despite her exhaustion. After spending most of the night helping Landon through his heat, the last thing she needed was a diplomatic visit. Yet here she was, waiting to greet Alpha Dominic Blackwell of the Northern Pack.The sound of approaching motorcycles broke the morning silence. Elara straightened her spine, channeling every ounce of Landon's arrogance as three bikes roared into view.The lead rider dismounted with fluid grace, removing his helmet to reveal striking features and piercing green eyes. Elara's breath caught—she'd heard rumors about Dominic's looks, but they hadn't done him justice."Alpha Wolfe," Dominic's deep voice carried a hint of amusement as he approached. "Still favoring the traditional welcome? Some things never change."Elara forced Landon's trademark smirk. "And you're still making dramatic entrances, Blackwell."Their eye

Dawn crept over the pack lands, illuminating the aftermath of the previous night's chaos. Broken furniture littered the common room, and whispers followed Landon as he shuffled through his omega duties, his borrowed body still trembling with lingering heat and shame."Did you hear?" A Beta whispered none too quietly. "The omega went feral, screaming about the Alpha belonging to her!""Delusional," her companion sneered. "Heat madness, obviously."Landon's cheeks burned as he scrubbed the floors, forced to clean up the very mess he'd created. His fingers shook on the brush as fragments of memory assaulted him—the overwhelming jealousy, the primal rage at feeling Dominic's touch through their bond."This is what rock bottom feels like," he muttered, dunking the brush viciously. "The mighty Alpha Landon Wolfe, on his knees scrubbing floors while gossips discuss his heat-induced tantrum.""Talking to yourself now?" Sabrina's silky voice made him freeze. "Or perhaps... talking to someone e

The morning sun streamed through the high windows of the pack council chamber, doing nothing to warm the chill that had settled in Elara's bones. She sat rigid in Landon's chair, trying to maintain his customary air of authority while Dominic, the visiting Alpha, outlined his proposal."Think of it, Landon," Dominic said, his handsome face alight with enthusiasm. "Our packs united through marriage, combining our strengths. We could be unstoppable."Through their bond, Elara felt Landon's presence nearby. He was supposedly cleaning the council chamber, but she knew he was listening intently, his emotions a turbulent mix that matched her own."It's an... interesting proposal," Elara said carefully, pitching Landon's voice to its most diplomatic tone. "But such decisions require careful consideration."Dominic leaned forward, his green eyes intense. "What's to consider? Our territories are perfectly aligned, our resources complementary. And..." he smiled, a predatory edge to his charm, "

The midnight hour found Elara pacing the Alpha's quarters, her borrowed body thrumming with restless energy. Through their bond, she could feel Landon's increasing distress as his heat reached critical levels. The sensation was like a burning brand in her mind, making it impossible to focus on anything else.A wave of dizziness and fever crashed through their connection, nearly bringing her to her knees. Without conscious thought, she found herself moving toward the door. She had to get to him, had to help—"Alpha?"Elara froze at the sound of Sabrina's voice outside her quarters. "What is it?" she called, forcing Landon's deep voice to remain steady."The omega quarters report a disturbance. One of them is experiencing... complications during heat."The knowing tone in Sabrina's voice made Elara's blood run cold. Through their bond, she felt Landon's panic mixing with her own."I'll send the healer," Elara said dismissively."The healer is occupied with birthing pups," Sabrina counte

The morning sun cast deceptively peaceful shadows across the pack grounds as Landon made his way through his omega duties, still weak from the previous night's heat symptoms. Through their bond, he felt Elara's constant concern, her attention split between Alpha responsibilities and monitoring his condition.Neither expected Sabrina's trap until it was too late."Well, look who's finally up and about," a smooth voice called. Beta James, one of Sabrina's most loyal followers, stepped out from behind a storage shed. "Feeling better after your... display last night?"Landon tensed, recognizing the predatory gleam in the Beta's eyes. Through their bond, he felt Elara's sudden alertness."I have duties to attend to, Beta," he said carefully, trying to step around the larger wolf.James moved faster than expected, backing him against the shed wall. "Actually," he smiled coldly, "you have new duties. Direct orders from Gamma Sabrina."Landon's heart raced as he spotted movement in his periph
