All Chapters of Alpha's Mate: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

The wind howled through the trees as the pack pushed forward, their bodies moving in perfect synchronization, each step taken with purpose. Olivia felt the pull of the land beneath her feet, the deep magic that resonated within her blood, urging her onward. The mountains loomed in the distance, their peaks shrouded in mist, like the silent watchers of an ancient battle long forgotten.The urgency of the moment weighed heavily on them all. Amelia’s presence was a shadow hanging over the group, a constant reminder of the danger that lurked just out of sight. Olivia could feel it, the growing unease in the air as they neared their destination. The magic that had once felt like a gift now felt like a heavy chain, tightening with every step she took. She wasn’t just walking into a battle. She was walking into the heart of something much darker than she had ever imagined.Ralph was by her side, his eyes scanning the path ahead, ever watchful. He was a constant in the storm, steady and unsha

The silence that followed their victory was a strange one, heavy with the weight of what had just been accomplished and the unknowns that lay ahead. Olivia stood at the edge of the broken circle, her fingers still tingling from the magic that had surged through her moments before. The land around her had changed, its energy ebbing from the frantic pulse of Amelia's dark ritual to a more subdued, though no less potent, hum. It felt like the earth itself was exhaling, releasing the tension that had bound it for so long.But even in the quiet, Olivia could feel the shadows that remained, the threads of something darker still waiting in the wings.Ralph, Caroline, and the pack lingered behind her, the air thick with unspoken thoughts. Everyone knew the truth: Amelia may have been defeated today, but her influence, her legacy, was far from erased. And the magic that had flowed through the land, that had corrupted it, still clung to the very air they breathed.“What now?” Caroline’s voice b

The days following their quiet victory were a blur of fleeting moments and heavy thoughts. The pack moved like shadows through the valley, their actions routine but their minds consumed by the questions that had no easy answers. Olivia had spent more hours than she cared to count standing at the edge of the forest, staring out over the land that was both theirs and not theirs, wondering how something as ancient as the magic beneath it could remain so elusive.The land was healing, yes, but it was healing in the wrong way. The balance that had been disrupted wasn’t returning to the natural order. It was shifting, becoming something else, something darker. Olivia could feel it deep in her bones.She had tried to speak to the earth, to reach out and feel what it was hiding, but the connection was clouded, distant. The earth seemed to answer her, but not in words—only in fragments. It whispered in the wind, in the rustling of the trees, in the tremor of the soil beneath her feet. But the

The dawn broke with an eerie stillness, the first light of day slicing through the trees but offering little warmth. The pack stood at the edge of the forest, their faces drawn and their eyes shadowed by the gravity of what lay ahead. Olivia, at the front of the group, held the ancient map in her hand, her fingers tracing the faded symbols, committing them to memory. Every step they took felt like a step closer to an abyss, yet she couldn’t shake the feeling that they had no other choice but to move forward.Ralph stood beside her, his usual confidence tempered by the weight of their mission. He could see it in her—the same doubt that lingered in his chest. But there was no room for hesitation now. The path was set, and there was no turning back. Not when the stakes were so high.Caroline, her face pale from the nights of study, joined them silently, her eyes scanning the woods as if the very trees might be hiding the answers they sought. The rest of the pack followed closely, their s

The silence that followed the explosion of magic was deafening. It wasn’t the quiet of peace, but the hollow, heavy silence that follows a storm, when everything that once seemed solid is left to settle. Olivia stood at the center of the clearing, her heart thundering in her chest, her mind struggling to catch up with what had just happened.She could feel the remnants of the magic clinging to her skin, sharp and cold, like the trace of a dream you can’t quite remember. The weight of the sacrifice hung on her, the loss of something—someone—vague but deeply felt. A piece of herself. The cost.But the entity was gone. The darkness had been sealed, the portal closed, and the world was safe. For now.Ralph was the first to move, his presence at her side like a grounding force. His face was drawn with exhaustion, his usually composed demeanor now showing the strain of the battle they had just fought. He reached out, placing a steady hand on her shoulder, his touch warm against the cold ene
