Beneath the Alpha’s Mark Chapter 85: The Mark of Darkness
The scream cut through the battlefield.I turned so quickly that my feet almost slipped beneath me.A warrior lay on the ground.An ancient wolf stood over him, growling at the darkness spreading across his chest.The black symbol pulsed once.Then again.I knew that mark.My stomach twisted.It was the same darkness that had appeared on my wrist.The same darkness that had nearly consumed me.“Move away from him!” my aunt shouted.The wolf obeyed immediately.I rushed toward the fallen warrior.Kael followed.“What happened?” he asked.“I don't know.”I knelt beside the man.His eyes were closed.His breathing was shallow.The black symbol continued spreading from his chest toward his neck.I reached for him.The moment my fingers touched his skin, pain shot through my arm.I gasped.“Lira!”Kael grabbed my shoulder.“Don't touch him.”“I can feel it.”“What?”“The darkness.”I closed my eyes.It felt cold.Like something alive was moving beneath his skin.I could hear whispers.Not
Beneath the Alpha’s Mark Chapter 84: Inside the Heart
The First God stared at me.For the first time since it appeared, it looked uncertain.I stood alone in the golden world I had created, though I wasn't sure how I had created it.There was no battlefield.No mountains.No wolves.No Kael.Only endless golden light stretching in every direction.The First God looked around.“What have you done?”I tightened my grip on my sword.“I don't know.”Its expression hardened.“You brought me into your mind.”“I didn't.”“Then why am I here?”I looked around.“This isn't my mind.”The heart inside my chest pulsed.Knock.The First God suddenly stepped backward.“You lied.”I frowned.“What?”“You knew.”“I didn't.”“You knew exactly what you were doing.”I shook my head.“I swear I didn't.”The creature stared at me.Then it laughed.“You are more dangerous than the others.”“Who are the others?”“The Keepers.”My chest tightened.“You knew them?”“We created them.”“Why?”“To protect the Heart.”“From what?”The First God smiled.“From us.”I
Beneath the Alpha’s Mark Chapter 83: The First Gods
The sky split open.I had seen darkness before.I had seen the Shadowborn.I had faced the First Alpha.I had watched the heart tear through mountains and witnessed ancient wolves rise from the earth.But nothing had prepared me for this.The thing above us wasn't a creature.It wasn't even something I could properly describe.It was a mass of black clouds wrapped around a gigantic figure, its body constantly shifting between smoke and something solid. Lightning crawled across its shoulders like living veins.And its eyes—Two enormous silver lights stared down at us.The entire battlefield had gone silent.Even the wind seemed afraid.I tightened my grip on Kael's hand.“Is that really a god?”He looked up.“I don't know.”The First Alpha stood several feet away from us.For the first time since I'd met him, there was no arrogance in his face.Only fear.“You should be afraid,” he said quietly.I looked at him.“Of them?”He nodded.“They aren't like us.”My aunt stepped forward.“Th

The wolves bowed.Every single one.Thousands of ancient wolves stood outside the ruined palace, their heads lowered toward me.For a moment, I couldn't understand what I was seeing.Then one wolf lifted its head.“Queen.”The word echoed through the valley.Another wolf followed.“Queen.”Then another.Soon the entire army was chanting it.“Queen.”“Queen.”“Queen.”The sound sent a shiver down my spine.I had spent my entire life trying to understand who I was.A Keeper.A daughter.A survivor.Now they were calling me something else.A Queen.And somehow, that frightened me more than being the Keeper ever had.I looked at Kael.He was standing beside me, staring at the wolves.“What are you thinking?” I asked.He gave me a small smile.“That I definitely didn't expect today to go this way.”I laughed softly.“Neither did I.”His expression became serious.“You okay?”I looked down at the Queen's Mark on my wrist.It was still glowing.“I don't know.”“That makes two of us.”I reach

The heart stopped beating.For one terrible second, I thought I had died.There was no pain.No sound.No light.Just emptiness.I looked at my hands.The black mark had reached my wrist.It moved slowly beneath my skin like ink spreading through water.“Lira!”Kael caught me before my knees gave way.I grabbed his shirt.“Kael…”“I’m here.”“My heart…”“I know.”His voice was shaking.I pressed my hand against my chest.Nothing.No warmth.No pulse.Nothing.My aunt rushed toward me.“The Queen’s Curse has awakened.”“What does that mean?”She stared at the mark.“It means the Heart has begun separating itself from you.”I shook my head.“No.”“It has chosen a price.”“What price?”She looked at Kael.My stomach dropped.“The person you love.”Kael went still.“No.”My aunt continued.“The Heart cannot exist inside a Keeper who has formed the First Bond without demanding balance.”I stared at her.“So I have to choose?”“Yes.”“Between what?”“The Heart…”She looked at Kael.“…and th
Beneath the Alpha’s Mark Chapter 80: The Keeper’s Fury
The gold light exploded from my body.The entire chamber shook.The First Alpha was thrown backward, crashing into one of the ancient pillars. Stone shattered around him.But I barely noticed.All I could see was Kael.He was still on the ground.Still bleeding.Still struggling to breathe.“Kael.”I dropped beside him.His eyes opened slightly.“Lira…”“I’m here.”My hands trembled as I pressed them against his chest.“You're going to be okay.”He gave me a weak smile.“You always say that.”“Because it's always true.”“No.”His fingers touched mine.“Not always.”I swallowed hard.“Don't talk.”“I have to.”“You don't.”His eyes closed again.My heart stopped.“Kael?”Nothing.“Kael!”I shook his shoulder.“Open your eyes!”His chest moved.Barely.I released a breath.“He's alive,” my aunt said.I looked at her.“Then save him.”“I can slow the bleeding.”“Do it.”She knelt beside him.“I need you to control the Heart.”“I don't know how.”“You do.”“I don't.”“You just did.”I loo
