Embracing the Alpha

Lyra burst out of the castle’s guts like a force of nature in the shape of a woman, her silk dress shredded, blood spattered, hair wild, eyes flat-out electric. Seriously, you could almost see the air ripple around her. That ancient rot? Gone. Burned out by some kind of silver wildfire that didn’t just clean house, it scorched the bones. Of course, nothing comes for free, right? She looked different. Felt different. More than just wiped out, like she’d been rebuilt from the inside out.

She shot across the courtyard, barefoot, barely even touching the stones. One second she was at the door, next she was halfway across the yard. If you blinked, you’d miss her. The mate bond thrummed in her chest, a painfully clear reminder that Marcus was somewhere out there, still recovering from days of hell. His body was wrecked, but at least his mind was his own again.

The castle gates were blown open, all splinters and melted metal, like they’d been punched in the face by a god

    Operation ShadowfallThe mountain pass lay shrouded in pre-dawn mist while Captain Thorne moved silently through positions his own men had taken weeks earlier. His personal familiarity with Kael's defenses on the supply trails made him indispensable for the coordinated efforts to be thrown to break what resistance existed without a monstrous amount of bloodshed."Three-minute guard change," he panted over the communications crystal that linked him with strike teams deployed down the mountain range. "Sentry posts alpha and delta will be blinded briefly to the eastern route."Princess Lyra's voice came back over the comms, her empathic field monitoring targets' emotional states across multiple locations simultaneously. "Confirmed. The checkpoint seven guards are displaying fatigue patterns indicative of decreasing vigilance. Window opening now."From his vantage point over the supply depot, Marcus watched an intelligence play out as enemy sentries cycled through their post with clockwor

    Army of the HeartThe valley whose voices rose not in cries of war but in song that carried hope across miles of terrain where despair had reigned long unchallenged. Princess Lyra stood on a natural ridge overlooking the conclave, her heightened senses reading emotions that flamed like beacon lights in the hearts of thousands who had flowed in from all corners of the kingdom to be part of what was now no longer just a war campaign.Under her, warriors of mountain clans sat with merchants of the Free Cities by campfires, their laughter bridging cultural divides that had been vast for centuries. River Selkie scouts arrived to inform of gains made without a drop of blood having been shed, and druid healers tended wounds as much spiritual as physical."Fifty thousand at last count," Marcus informed her, glancing at tallies that grew by the hour as more contingents arrived. "But less than half of those are ordinary soldiers. The rest." He gestured towards children with their families, elde

    Empathic NetworkLyra remained still at the center of the waystation's communications chamber, her mind extending like tenuous threads a half thousand miles long to reach the minds that never envisioned connection with their enemy. The empathic network she had created in the midst of the crisis had grown from simple battlefield coordination - now it reached into the very center of Kael's remaining strongholds."Contact established," she panted to Master Ahldric, who monitored her life signs as she labored the deadly deep-range empathic link. "Captain Garrett in the eastern stronghold. His loyalty to Kael is unraveling."With the network, she felt the disillusioned veteran's growing doubts regarding senseless orders, his indignation at viewing supplies diverted from his men to fund ever more desperate gambles. More profoundly, she shared his memories of serving under good commanders who'd cared about the well-being of their men."Can you talk straight?" Marcus asked where he instructed

    The Southern AllianceThe great hall of Winterhold Castle lay before Marcus like a battlefield where the weapons were words and honor was more valuable than gold. Seated at the massive stone table were five clan lords, their gruff faces the embodiment of the disbelief of men who had lived through decades of broken vows and shattered alliances."Sir Marcus," Ironpeak's Chief Aldwin replied, his own voice echoing with the ring of command founded upon respect, not fear. "You ask what you cannot pay for. No promise of gold dowry, no promise of easy warfare. What do you suggest the Northern Clans get in exchange for our warriors' blood?"Marcus stood without moving nearer the table, custom demanding that he prove himself worthy to sit among equals. "I bring truth, Chief Aldwin. War against corruption, if you don't join our war.""Speak." Chief Mordane of Grimhold leaned forward, his battle-scarred face showing professional interest."The corruption that tainted Prince Kael did not observe

    Strategic PlanningThe room for strategy was filled with fierce focus as Princess Lyra stood before a giant map table, eyes closed in focus as her empathic senses reached across miles of terrain to locate the minds of Kael's surviving soldiers. At her side, Marcus moved wooden pieces with military precision, deciphering her supernatural thinking into practical military placement."Northern stronghold shows forty-seven unique emotional signatures," she answered without opening her lids. "Twelve of those have the artificial patterns of loyalty one will see in true corruption. The rest are following through fear, not supernatural compulsion."Marcus used red to mark tokens to mark corrupted foes and used blue to mark coerced troops. "Which means surrender negotiations might be possible with the majority. What about their command structure?"Lyra's perception penetrated further into the fortress, tracking the subtle emotional transactions which revealed command hierarchies invisible to re

    Training for CombatPractice sword cut through the air in the morning as Lyra moved effortlessly through combat forms that would have been beyond her a few weeks ago. Her body had adapted to rigorous training with the enhanced healing that her omega powers gave her once she had tapped into them, and she was able to push physical limits that would have caused pain to ordinary warriors.Marcus danced around her with killer fluidity, his own sword testing her defenses with strokes that increased faster and harder than she had ever seen before. "Better. But you're still thinking too much. Let the empathic senses guide the movement."She sidestepped to the side from the push, her sharpened awareness perceiving his plan by emotional resonance instead of waiting for the visual input. The sword that was aimed to strike her between the ribs went through the air harmlessly as she shifted into a riposte that sent him retreating."Excellent work," Captain Nara bellowed from the edge of the traini
