Destined to Save the Cursed Alpha Chapter 61: Orion’s Move
ORIONThe invitation arrived beneath a tray of untouched pastries, which meant someone wanted it hidden.I lifted the parchment, sniffed the wax, and found a Silver Crest seal pressed into Cassian’s black mark.That seal shouldn’t have been there.The gathering would occur beyond our eastern boundary, officially neutral, unofficially designed to exclude Nikolai. I decided to attend before telling my brother the full reason.He would send six warriors, three assassins, and probably himself. I preferred arriving with one driver and a terrible shirt.The shirt had gold embroidery, an open collar, and enough confidence to offend several Alphas.Perfect.I entered the estate pretending I had wandered into the wrong political meeting. Two guards searched me, found no weapon, and looked disappointed.“My apologies,” I drawled. “I thought this was a wine tasting.”The host frowned. “You’re Orion Dravenmoor.”“I’ve been called worse by women with excellent taste.”His contempt relaxed.

Destined to Save the Cursed Alpha Chapter 60: Not Your Weakness
ANAIYAHI left the main hall carrying the council’s tension beneath my skin. Voices drifted through a nearby strategy room, and the door stood open enough for every word to reach me.Several visiting Alphas discussed Nikolai in low voices.“Even the legendary Dravenmoor has developed a weakness.”“His weakness has a name.”Anaiyah.I stopped beside the wall.“The Moonblood girl. The Luna. The thing he’ll protect at any cost.”Another voice chuckled. “If we can’t defeat Nikolai directly, we make him choose between his territory and his mate.”I walked away before they noticed me listening.Their words followed through every corridor. For years, people had decided what I was: Omega, traitor’s daughter, burden, disposable servant. Now, powerful Alphas called me dangerous to Nikolai.The distinction mattered.I had started relying on Nikolai’s strength because his protection felt safe. But if every enemy knew I was the easiest way to hurt him, hiding behind him would never keep either of
Destined to Save the Cursed Alpha Chapter 59: The Challenge
NIKOLAISilver Crest’s command hall still smelled of smoke, wet stone, and burned timber. Soldiers moved through damaged corridors while reports gathered across my desk.They watched me whenever I passed. They needed certainty from their Alpha, so I gave them a steady voice, clipped orders, and a face that revealed nothing.Inside, I calculated what the siege had cost. Exhausted patrols. Broken walls. Empty supply rooms. Wounded warriors sleeping beside weapons because they expected another attack before dawn.Anaiyah’s presence brushed against the mate bond. She was resting in our chambers, though I knew she hated being ordered there. Her awareness steadied something inside me.I refused to name it.Orion entered carrying a sealed communication. His usual humor was absent, and that mattered more than the black seal stamped across the parchment.“Cassian,” he announced.I took the message and broke the seal.It was not private. Copies had already reached several Alpha territories. Cas
Destined to Save the Cursed Alpha Chapter 58: Blood and Bonds
NIKOLAIThe healer released Anaiyah before noon, after checking her pulse three times and warning her to rest.Anaiyah nodded politely, waited until the healer turned away, and reached for her boots.“No,” I told her.She looked up. “That wasn’t directed at you.”“It was obvious.”“I’m going home.”“You’re going to our chambers. There’s a difference."Her eyes narrowed. “You’re already fussing. We haven’t even left the infirmary."The healer handed me a list. “No training today. No long walks. No council meetings. No sparring. No strenuous activity. She needs food, fluids, and sleep.”Anaiyah folded her arms. “I can hear you both plotting my imprisonment.”“I’m following medical instructions,” I replied.“You’re enjoying them.”“I’m enjoying you being alive.”Her mouth opened, then closed. The healer hid a smile.I lifted Anaiyah before she could argue. She grabbed my shoulders with a startled sound.“I can walk.”“You can also rest.”“I have legs.”“You’re not using them.”She glared
Destined to Save the Cursed Alpha Chapter 57: The Symbol
ANAIYAHThe symbol completed another section and began glowing like a second heartbeat. I held my breath, waiting for pain. None came. Heat moved beneath my ribs, spreading toward my shoulder and throat.Nikolai kept two fingers against the mark, his silver-gray eyes fixed on the light. The bond between us pulled tight, carrying a presence neither of us understood.“Should I call the healer?” he questioned.“Call everyone if you want. Nobody knows what this is.”His jaw tightened. “That doesn’t mean we do nothing.”“I didn’t say we should do nothing. I said we should stop pretending panic counts as a plan.”The mark pulsed again. A faint ring appeared beneath the first design, then faded before either of us could study it.Draven stirred inside Nikolai.‘Old.’Lunara answered from within me.‘Known.’The certainty in her voice tightened my stomach.I pushed myself upright, ignoring the weakness in my arms. The symbol remained visible beneath my skin, an intricate crescent intertwined
Destined to Save the Cursed Alpha Chapter 56: The Cost
NIKOLAII stood beside Anaiyah’s infirmary bed, refusing to leave.The healers had treated her obvious injuries, but that wasn’t enough. Her pulse had weakened twice after I carried her from the battlefield, and both times every healer in the room had looked toward me before admitting they had no explanation.“Why did she collapse?” I demanded. “What happened to her pulse? Could the power have damaged her organs? Could it have burned through something she needs to recover?”The oldest healer checked her breathing again, then examined the faint silver lines lingering near her wrists. “Her body is exhausted. Her muscles are strained, her energy reserves are dangerously depleted, and her healing is working slower than normal.”“Permanent damage?”“None that we can identify.”That answer didn’t reassure me. Power that nearly killed its wielder wasn’t a gift. It was a weapon with a price, and Anaiyah had paid that price in blood, breath, and consciousness.I stared at her pale face and rem
