NIKOLAI

After the unknown warrior disappeared into the trees, I sent Anaiyah toward the inner compound with two trusted guards. She hated leaving me, but silver-gold light still trembled beneath her skin, and wounded wolves needed help.

“I’m not helpless,” she snapped.

“I know. You’re exhausted.”

“That isn’t the same thing.”

“No. It’s the reason I’m asking you to go.”

Her eyes narrowed, but she glanced toward the injured warriors being carried through the gates. Concern won.

“Come back,” she wa

    NIKOLAIAfter the unknown warrior disappeared into the trees, I sent Anaiyah toward the inner compound with two trusted guards. She hated leaving me, but silver-gold light still trembled beneath her skin, and wounded wolves needed help.“I’m not helpless,” she snapped.“I know. You’re exhausted.”“That isn’t the same thing.”“No. It’s the reason I’m asking you to go.”Her eyes narrowed, but she glanced toward the injured warriors being carried through the gates. Concern won.“Come back,” she warned.“I will.”She left with the guards. I remained outside with Orion, finishing the retreat of Cassian’s coalition forces.For several minutes, the battlefield settled into uneasy silence. Then Draven snarled.‘Inside.’The first alarm rose from the outer territory. A second answered from within Silver Crest.I stopped near the broken eastern gate. Cassian wasn’t attacking in one direction. He was making my walls turn against me.Shouting erupted from the compound. A guard sprinted through th

    VAREKNikolai’s hand shifted toward his weapon. “Leave.”I turned my gaze to Anaiyah instead. The metallic scent around her had grown stronger since our last meeting. Her power was no longer sleeping quietly beneath the seals.Cassian had called her a weakness attached to Nikolai. A bargaining piece. A target who had to be eliminated or captured before her awakening became impossible to manage.He had misunderstood her.So had I.A hostile wolf charged from Anaiyah’s left. She turned, raised one hand, and released a concentrated burst of silver-gold energy.The attacker flew backward and struck the mud.Anaiyah stared at her palm, startled. Then she closed her fingers and forced the light down.She remained standing.I had watched powerful wolves destroy buildings. I had never seen power answer protection before violence. It moved through Anaiyah with recognition, not simple force.Nikolai glanced toward her. Pride and anger crossed his expression at once.Anaiyah noticed. “Don’t star

    ANAIYAHThe battle reached Silver Crest before anyone gave me permission to worry. Howls rolled across the outer territory, followed by shouting, breaking wood, and the sharp metallic scent of blood.Warriors rushed past the inner compound toward the territory Nikolai had used as bait. Healers moved in the opposite direction, carrying empty stretchers that would not stay empty for long.Lunara pressed against my ribs.‘They’re dying.’I knew without seeing them. Fear moved through the pack, carried through the bond in small, frantic flashes.Nikolai reached the staging area with Orion and a line of armed warriors. His expression was cold and focused, but his attention snapped toward me immediately.“Stay inside the protected area,” he ordered.I stopped several feet away. “You’re taking the main force into a battle, and you want me to sit behind guards?”“Yes.”“I’ve trained.”“You’ve also collapsed after using your power.”“The territory is already under attack.”“I know.”“Then don’

  • Destined to Save the Cursed Alpha   Chapter 64: The Trap

    NIKOLAII stood over the tactical map, studying the border Cassian had been circling for days. On paper, Silver Crest looked weak there.Two patrol routes had been reduced. Reserve warriors had moved elsewhere. A supply convoy had supposedly been delayed, and the border outpost operated with fewer fighters than usual.Every weakness was mine.I had created each one, then allowed the information to escape through channels Cassian monitored. Nothing vital. Only enough to make him believe Silver Crest was scrambling.The territory held crops, iron, old roads, and families loyal to my line. I knew every name marked beside the settlement. I also knew how many warriors would defend it when Cassian arrived.The sacrifice was real.That made it useful.Orion entered carrying another report. He studied the map, then looked at me.“Tell me you’re not actually leaving that border exposed.”I didn’t answer immediately.His face tightened. “You are.”“I’m making it appear exposed.”“Those families

  • Destined to Save the Cursed Alpha   Chapter 63: The Betrayer Inside

    NIKOLAIThe private room smelled of cold iron, bitter herbs, and Anaiyah’s fading scent. Nothing valuable appeared missing, yet her mother’s chest stood open beneath the window.The silver pendant was gone.Guards crowded the corridor, insisting nobody unauthorized had crossed the inner perimeter. Their certainty made the breach worse. An outside enemy could not reach this room without assistance, a falsified record, or an opened path.“Who logged the eastern corridor?” I demanded.The captain swallowed. “I did, Alpha. The record shows no movement.”“Who verified it?”“No one. I reviewed the patrol reports after the siege.”That gave me the first fracture.Someone had not broken through Silver Crest’s defenses. Someone had made the defenses lie.Draven wanted blood. I wanted proof.I ordered the guards dismissed, then returned to the command hall and summoned three trusted officers separately. None knew the others had been called.The first received a false western patrol route. The s

    ANAIYAHNikolai’s meeting had ended ten minutes earlier, but the tension followed him through the corridor. His posture was rigid, his orders clipped, and Orion had avoided every question I asked.Lunara lifted her head inside me.‘Something is wrong.’I found Nikolai in our quarters, bent over maps and reports. He looked up once, then tried to cover the papers with one hand.That movement answered everything.“How many Alphas are moving against you?” I demanded.“Anaiyah—"“Who has Cassian recruited? Why does Orion look like someone stole his favorite joke? Why does everyone know more than I do?”He straightened. “The situation is being handled.”My laugh held no humor. “Handled. That’s what powerful men say before deciding my life without me.”His eyes cooled. “This isn’t Crescent.”“Then stop behaving like the same man who locked doors and called it protection.”I saw his fingers curl against the table.He could have ended the argument with authority. Instead, he reached for one re
