All Chapters of The Alpha's Cursed Heir: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

As Lena stood in the starry clearing, her pulse reverberated in the silence, her heart thumping. After word of Jarek's upcoming challenge traveled swiftly, an anxious clan throng had assembled, their features obscured by the darkness. There was a mixture of fear and excitement in every look and every utterance.The only thing keeping her grounded was Niko's solid hand, which was firmly grasping hers as though he were urging her to be brave. She could sense the tension behind the warmth and power in his palm. She would have to watch as he fought for her hand in marriage with the man she was being forced to consider.A tall man in the distance walked with deliberate steps. Jarek appeared out of the shadows, his face icy and unblinking, his eyes narrowing when they saw Niko beside her. There was a distinct gleam of possession in his eyes, his features were hardened, and his jaw was tightened with purpose.“So, this is the great Niko I’ve heard so much about,” he continued, his voice as c

The quiet of the night settled heavily over Grey Hollow, a stillness that felt both welcome and unnatural. Lena had barely managed to catch her breath since Zara’s retreat, yet she knew this was only the beginning. There was a new threat lurking, one Zara hinted at with her parting words, and Lena couldn’t shake the feeling that this dark force was more insidious than any curse.Her thoughts drifted back to her family, to the whispers of the ancient bloodline her mother had spoken of once, something she barely remembered but felt strongly was connected to her. In that moment, she made a silent vow: whatever new darkness was coming, she would face it. This was her world to protect.Beside her, Kaden’s gaze softened. “You look ready to take on an army by yourself.”“Maybe I am.” She tried to smile, but her mind was elsewhere. “There’s so much we don’t understand yet, Kaden. Zara was only one piece of the puzzle. Whatever she was hiding, I think it’s connected to what happened to my pare

The moonlight reflected off the accusing eyes of the Grey Hollow pack as murmurs rippled through the assembly. The revelation of Eli’s deal with Zara had sown discord among the council and pack members alike. Lena stood in the center of the storm, her pulse thumping in her chest, as whispers of treachery blended with the crisp night air."You've lied to us, Eli." One of the elders, a grizzled wolf named Aldric, snarled. “How long have you plotted against your own pack? Against the bloodline you swore to protect?”Eli’s calm façade crumbled as he clenched his fists, his voice sharp with desperation. “Do not be swayed by the words of a traitor,” he spat, glaring at Damon. “He serves no one but himself.”“And what about you?” Lena interjected, stepping forward. Her voice rang clear, cutting through the chaos. “You’ve manipulated this pack, weaponized their fear of me, and for what? Power? Control?”Eli turned to her, his eyes blazing. “You think your strength will save you, Lena? Power w

One could feel the tension in the camp. Though Lena had been successful in releasing the marked wolves, the event left a persistent worry that Zara's control would extend farther than they had expected. Conversations were hushed, trust was strained, and even the tight-knit bonds of the pack seemed fragile.Lena paced near the fire, her mind racing as she strategized their next move. Her thoughts were interrupted when Kaden approached, his steady presence grounding her spiraling anxiety.“We can’t afford to let fear divide us,” Kaden said, his voice low but resolute. “The pack looks to you for strength.”“I know,” Lena replied, her frustration evident. “But how can I lead them when Zara has infiltrated our ranks? What if we’re walking into her next trap?”Kaden placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder. “We’ve faced her before and survived. You’ve proven stronger than her magic. Trust yourself, Lena. Trust us.”Even though his words were consoling, they didn't really make the weight on

Lena stared intently at the individual before her, a familiar face from her childhood, its features dancing in the glow of the fire. The woman's arrival triggered a flood of emotions, ranging from confusion and melancholy to optimism.“Mom?” Lena’s voice trembled.The woman chose not to respond right away. Instead, she moved closer, her mystical figure shimmering slightly. "You have developed a lot," she whispered sadly, her voice filled with grief.Lena's vision was blurred by tears. “How are you here? You…”“Was lost,” the woman finished, her tone bittersweet. “But the connection between us was never broken, Lena. I came because you’re standing at the edge of something you don’t fully understand.”Kaden stirred behind her, snapping Lena out of her daze. She turned to see him awake, his eyes narrowing at the sight of the woman. “Who is this?”“My mother,” Lena whispered, her voice barely audible.Kaden’s expression darkened, his protective instincts flaring. “That’s impossible.”“She
