Lucian’s smile widened as he stepped onto the first stair, but no one moved to meet him. The wolves at his back lingered several steps below, heads bowed as if afraid to look directly at the ancient force saturating the air.

I stood between Betty and Adrian, watching Lucian’s every move. After everything he had done, I expected to feel terror at the sight of him. Instead, a cold, sharp anger settled in my chest. For the first time, I wasn't angry out of confusion. I was angry because I was fin

  • Born To Be Alpha Forced To Be A Rogue   Chapter 40: The secret my father feared

    "Your father didn't hide you from me, Ryan Carter. He hid you from the Ancient Power itself." The words lingered, echoing in the heavy silence long after the black wall sealed Betty on the other side. Ryan struck the cold stone with both fists. Silver light flared beneath his palms, but the barrier absorbed every trace of it without a shudder. He tried again, channeling deeper, sharper reserves of power until a searing pain shot up his arms, forcing him to step back. "Betty!" "I'm here!" Her voice sounded muffled through the dense mass. "Ryan, I'm all right!" He pressed his forehead against the damp stone. "Stay away from that thing. Don't touch anything, and don't believe a word it tells you." A quiet, rasping laugh drifted from the darkness beyond. "Still giving orders, vessel?" Ryan spun around. The creature was no longer visible through the wall, yet its voice slithered through the stone as though it stood right beside him. "Tell me what you meant," Ryan demanded, his vo

  • Born To Be Alpha Forced To Be A Rogue   Chapter 38: The Mark That Opened the Door

    “Mother!” Betty’s scream echoed down the collapsing passage, but the darkness swallowed every trace of the woman who had sacrificed everything for her. Ryan locked his arm around Betty’s waist as she fought frantically to get past him, her fingernails digging through his shirt while the floor cracked beneath their boots. “Let me go!” she sobbed. “Ryan, she’s still in there!” “I know!” “Then stop holding me back!” Ryan loosened his grip, but before Betty could break away, the passage shuddered with violent fury. A massive slab of stone crashed down, sealing the darkness from view. Dust exploded into the air, choking them and forcing all three to stumble backward. Betty lunged at the fallen monolith, pounding her bare fists against the rough granite. “Mother! Can you hear me? Mother!” Silence was her only answer. She struck it again, harder, until the skin over her knuckles split and bled. Ryan caught her wrists, pulling her back before she could shatter her own hands. “Betty,

  • Born To Be Alpha Forced To Be A Rogue   Chapter 37: The Mother Who Should Be Dead

    “Mother?” Betty’s whisper barely brushed the stone walls, yet the woman in the passage seemed to catch it. A shadow shifted beyond the threshold, followed by the soft, deliberate scrape of footsteps. Betty took a step forward, then another, drawn as if by an invisible thread pulling at her chest. Ryan caught her wrist. “Wait.” She turned to him, confusion and desperate hope warring across her features. “That was my mother’s voice.” “How do you know?” “Because I remember it.” Her eyes welled. “I was little when I lost her, but I remember how she called me. I remember her holding me after the nightmares. I remember” Her voice fractured. Ryan loosened his grip but didn't let go entirely. He knew the haunting weight of a voice you had mourned for years he had felt that same shock when his own mother returned from the dead. He knew how easily blinding hope could lead someone straight into danger. “Your father is Lucian,” he reminded her softly. “We don't know what else he kept fro

  • Born To Be Alpha Forced To Be A Rogue   Chapter 36: The Mother Beneath the Throne

    The voice bled through the stone from beneath the floor. Bring me the Shadow heir. Ryan instantly stepped in front of Betty, interposing himself between her and the spiderweb of cracks spreading across the floor. Silver light flickered in his eyes as his wolf surged to the surface, growling at the unseen threat. “You’re not taking her.” The darkness beneath the floor pulsed like a heavy heartbeat. You have no authority here, vessel. Ryan’s hands curled into tight fists. “Then crawl out and say that to my face.” “Ryan, don’t!” Adrian seized his shoulder, shoving him backward just as a silver bolt shot from the fissure and slammed into the far wall. Stone exploded across the chamber. Adrian hurled himself sideways, shielding Betty with his body as sharp fragments showered around them. For several breathless seconds, the chamber fell dead silent. Then Betty stepped out from behind Adrian. “Why does it want me?” Ryan turned sharply. “It doesn’t matter.” “It matters to me!” She

  • Born To Be Alpha Forced To Be A Rogue   Chapter 35: The Rules of the Throne part 2

    Ryan saw his father at seventeen, raw and unformed, with Cael standing fiercely at his side. Elders surrounded them in a ceremonial circle. Then came the agonized roar of a first transformation, the heavy clinking of iron chains, and Cael being violently dragged toward the shadows. Ryan watched his young father reach out a desperate hand toward his friend. Then the vision shifted. His father paused. Looked back And turned his back, walking away into the light while Cael’s desperate screams echoed off the stone. Ryan’s breathing became shallow and heavy. Betty reached out, her cool fingers wrapping around his forearm. “Ryan. Look at me.” “He left him,” Ryan whispered, the words tasting like ash. The false Ryan nodded slowly. “He chose himself.” Ryan couldn't tear his eyes from the fading phantom. “Why?” “Because he was coward. He was afraid.” Another memory materialized out of the gloom: Ryan’s father standing directly before the Throne, ancient power storming wildl

  • Born To Be Alpha Forced To Be A Rogue   Chapter 35: The Rules of the Throne

    The moment the heavy stone door sealed behind Ryan, the sound of the outside world died instantly. No Cael, No father, No ancient chamber echoing with past mistakes Only suffocating darkness. Ryan stood rigid, slowing his breath as his senses scrambled to map the pitch-black space. Beside him, Betty shifted silently. On his other side, Adrian pressed a hand flat against his own chest, his breathing ragged. Then, a low tremor rolled through the dark. Ryan’s head snapped up. A heartbeat. Heavy, slow, and impossibly deep. And it wasn't coming from any of them. “Do you hear that?” Betty whispered, her voice barely cutting through the silence. Ryan nodded, unable to tear his gaze from the dark ahead. Adrian’s face had drained of color. “I’ve heard it before,” he murmured. Ryan turned to him instantly. “Where?” “Inside my dreams.” Before Ryan could press further, a sudden bloom of silver light cut through the gloom. A figure stepped from the radiance. Ryan’s enti
