Lira's POV

“My lady,” Aragon said.

I gasped, staggering as I took my hands off Sienna's body.

“My lady, what happened?” Aragon demanded.

I struggled to breathe. “The spell… It was Salcan. He's behind all of it. The omega was forced to do this. He's holding her children hostage. This isn't her fault.”

The healers stared at me in disbelief and horror.

“And Damien…” I swallowed hard. “He's not safe. He wasn't stabbed. We're just seeing things. This is all an illusion meant to distract us. There's someone else in the camp.”

Everyone froze. “She's the one who's supposed to finish Damien.”

Without wasting another second, I tore my arm from Aragon's grasp. “We have to move now.”

My legs burned as I ran. I could barely catch my breath. My body was going cold and I knew it could only mean one thing.

We threw open the flap and what I saw was pure horror. Marcus lay on the ground, foaming at the mouth, convulsing.

“Brother,” Aragon said, running to his side. “Who did this? Tell me.”

    Lira's POV ‘We have been planning something for some time now, Alura and I,” Damien said, cutting into the call.I turned to him. “What’s your plan?” I asked.“You have to end the call first,” he said with a small smile.“I just wanted to give you a heads up about the boss,” Lord Marco said through the phone. “I have no idea what his next move will be.”“That’s good,” I replied. “I’ll let you know if anything comes up. For now, I have to go.”“Take care of Alia,” I added firmly, then ended the call.I turned to face them.“I want us to disappear together,” Damien said the moment I ended the call.I narrowed my eyes and stared straight at him. “Are you serious?” I asked, surprised.“Yes, he is,” Alura said, stepping in.“We’ve realized that fighting has never brought us anything but loss,” Damien said. His expression grew heavy. “We understood that after we lost Aragon.”“This matters even more now,” he continued firmly. “Everyone is searching for you. You’re in real danger. First it

  • Marked by my father's enemy alpha    The Blackthornes meet the boss

    Alia's POV I reached the lab and went straight to the cupboard on the right. I opened it and pulled out a shotgun. Matthew’s eyes narrowed as he stared at it. “What in the world is that?” he asked, his eyes wide. “My dad doesn’t want me using actual guns, so he trained me to use this instead,” I said as I adjusted my grip. “Isn’t that more dangerous?” Matthew asked. “Only if you don’t know how to use it,” I replied. “We need to get going.” I slid open one of the machines in the corner of the lab and pressed a button. A hatch opened on the floor. “What’s that?” Matthew asked. “You ask a lot of questions,” I said, rolling my eyes. “When we get down there, I’ll tell you. For now, let’s go.” I climbed in first and he followed. As we moved through the tunnel, we started hearing sounds from above the house. It sounded like they had discovered what happened. “We need to move faster,” I said. “The button to close the hatch is on the other end of the tunnel.” He nodded, and we hur

  • Marked by my father's enemy alpha    Secrets of the past

    Damien's POV I went to the healers’ quarters to see Divine and question her. Something about everything that had happened did not sit right with me. I could feel it in my chest, that quiet sense that something was wrong. I did not like it. I also did not like the thought that I might be getting too soft in my judgment, but I pushed that aside as I walked in. The moment I entered, every wolf bowed. No one spoke. One of the healers stepped forward and guided me through the halls. “Where is Divine?” I asked. “She is this way, Alpha,” the head healer replied. We reached the room she was supposed to be in. The door was open. She was not there. The healer froze. His eyes widened. “That… that is not possible,” he said. “I assigned someone to watch her. She was not meant to move.” My anger flared. “Then explain how she is gone,” I snapped. “Do you think this is a minor matter? The lands are unstable, and everyone has a role to play. If you fail at yours, people get hurt.” The healer

  • Marked by my father's enemy alpha    The General's new quest

    The General's POV Getting into Marco’s estate felt like a simple game. The men the boss gave me did their jobs perfectly. They handled the entry and cleared the way while I focused on the only reason I was there. Alia. “Satellite trackers, new ammunition, renovation of the facility, and you also requested three hundred trained guards for starters?” the man on the phone asked. “Yes,” I replied, smiling. I could not hide it. Three hundred men under my command. The thought alone filled me with excitement. The man on the phone sighed after every sentence. He sounded irritated, but I did not care. Alia was tied up at the corner of the compound. “I also asked for more lab supplies for—” “Do not push your luck,” he cut in. “This is all the boss approved. Nothing more.” “You should be careful how you speak to me,” I said calmly. “One day, you might be one of the guards placed under my command.” “You wish,” he replied. Before I could answer, another call came through. It was from th

  • Marked by my father's enemy alpha    A father's sacrifice

    Lira's POV “Who was that on the phone?” I asked Lord Marco. “It was just Alia,” he replied quickly. “She wanted to know how I’m doing.” “If she calls again, I want to speak with her,” I said, keeping my voice firm. “Why?” he asked, his tone turning wary. “It’s been a while since we last spoke. That’s all,” I said. Before he could respond, Damien walked into the room. “The council is about to convene,” he said, his voice strong and steady. “You will stand before them and explain yourself. I’ll be there as well. I would have preferred to judge this myself now that I’ve reclaimed my position, but the ceremony isn’t complete. Until it is, you answer to the council, and I am part of it.” Lord Marco nodded. He looked troubled, like his thoughts were somewhere else entirely. The guards stepped in, and Lord Marco rose to his feet. Sam followed close behind him. Damien and I walked at the back. “I really hope he’s innocent,” I said quietly. “I don’t think he’d do anything that would

  • Marked by my father's enemy alpha    Lake town

    The General's POV When we finally arrived, the place was dead silent. Laketown was named by the boss himself. It was never like this. It was usually full of noise and people moving about. But whenever the boss called for a meeting, the town was always cleared out.The guard drove us to the entrance and stopped there, just as I had forced him to do. The moment the truck came to a halt, two armed men stepped out of the shadows. Their armour was heavy and refined, the kind men like me could only dream of wearing.“You were told to come alone,” one of them said.“I…” I started.I didn’t get the chance to finish. One of them raised his gun and shot the guard in the head. He dropped instantly, his body hitting the ground without a sound.“Next time, you listen to instructions,” the man said calmly.“I wanted to say he’s my captive,” I snapped.“We don’t care,” the other replied. “Follow us. The boss is waiting.”We didn’t walk far before one of the guards pressed a hand against my chest, s
