LOGINChapter 104: Bitter Choices DAMIEN’S POV I stepped out of the chamber and closed the door quietly behind me. The hallway stretched long and shadowed with torches flickering along the stone walls. Cassian walked ahead with that arrogant stride of his, his dark cloak blending into the dim light. I knew he was the only one who could pull me back when the curse took hold completely. As much as I hated it, I needed to talk to him before another wave hit. I caught up to him near the wide stone balcony that overlooked the courtyard. Cool night air brushed against my face as I called out. “Cassian, wait. We need to discuss the curse. It grows stronger every time it returns and you are the only one who can calm the darkness when it spirals.” Cassian stopped and turned slowly with a mocking smile on his lips. He crossed his arms and leaned against the balcony rail as moonlight cast sharp shadows across his features. “So the great alpha comes begging again. How pathetic. You cannot even cont
Chapter 103: Not EnoughROWAN’S POVI paced the edges of the dimly lit chamber while the healer worked over Anya’s still form on the large bed. We had moved her here quickly after she collapsed, the same room where the fight had nearly destroyed everything. My ribs ached from the brawl and my knuckles still bled, but none of that pain came close to the guilt eating me alive inside.She lay so pale against the dark sheets, her chest rising and falling in shallow breaths. I had failed her again. Every time danger closed in, I ended up watching her suffer because I could not protect her properly. My wolf whined deep within me, restless and ashamed.The old healer finally straightened up and wiped her hands on a cloth. She looked at the three of us with a tired expression. “She exhausted her powers too fast. The magic burst out strong but she has not mastered control yet. Every time she pushes like that, it drains her life force directly. She needs rest and she must avoid situations that
Chapter 102: Fading Light ANYA’S POVI screamed at the top of my lungs. “Stop it!”The three of them kept tearing into each other like wild beasts in the middle of the chamber. Fists flew and bodies slammed together with sickening thuds. Blood already smeared the stone floor while grunts and snarls filled the air. Rowan grappled with Cassian as Damien drove another brutal punch into Rowan’s side. They refused to listen.My heart pounded with panic and frustration. I could not watch them destroy one another any longer.Power surged through my veins without warning. It rose faster and hotter than before, fueled by fear and anger. Moonlight magic mixed with my wolf instincts and rushed to my hands in a bright silver glow. I thrust both palms forward and released everything I had in one desperate burst.A powerful wave of energy exploded outward from me. It slammed into the three men with brutal force and flung them apart like rag dolls. Rowan crashed against the far wall with a heavy gr
Chapter 101: Shadows and War CASSIAN’S POVI pushed the broken door wider and stepped into the chamber, the scent of sweat, blood, and raw tension thick in the air. The scene hit me like a slap. Rowan gripped Anya’s wrist with a possessive snarl on his face while Damien lunged forward, his hand outstretched and eyes wild with desperation. Anya stood trapped between them, her body tense and her expression torn. Three hearts pounded in this cramped stone room and all of them beat for her.A slow smirk tugged at my lips as I took in the chaos. “Well, looks like we have a full party.”Rowan’s head snapped toward me first, his wolf flashing bright in his eyes. “Cassian. This does not concern you. You need to leave.”Damien straightened with effort, still unsteady from the curse that had clearly wracked his body moments ago. “She stays with me. Both of you can rot.”Anya yanked her arm from Rowan’s grip and stepped back, her chest rising and falling fast. “Stop it, all of you. This is insa
Chapter 100: Destroyed Trust ROWAN’S POVI stormed into the chamber with my blood pounding so hard in my ears that I could barely hear anything else. The door hung half off its hinges behind me, wood cracked and splintered from the force of my entrance. My eyes locked onto the scene in front of me and everything inside me froze for one painful second before erupting into pure fire.Anya was on her knees on the cold stone floor, arms wrapped tightly around Damien. Her cheek rested against his hair while his hands gripped her waist like she was the only thing keeping him from falling apart. Tears glistened on his face. The bastard had actually been crying. But I didn’t care about his tears. All I could see was my mate holding the man who had kidnapped her, chained her, and planned to marry her against her will tonight.My wolf slammed against my ribs with savage force, snarling and clawing to get out. The rage that flooded my system burned hotter than anything I had felt before. How co
Chapter 99: Fire in My Veins DAMIEN’S POVThe curse struck without mercy. One second I knelt beside the bed with my heart laid bare, and the next, white-hot fire exploded through my entire body. It felt as if molten iron had been poured straight into my bones and now raced through every vein with vicious intent. I gasped sharply and clutched at my chest with both hands while my claws dug deep into my own skin. Dark veins bulged and spread rapidly across my arms and neck like living poison. My vision blurred with streaks of red and black, and every nerve ending screamed in agony.I knew this feeling too well. The curse. The same ancient darkness that her grandmother had placed on me now roared back to life with even greater fury. This time it felt stronger and wilder, as if Anya’s closeness somehow fed the flames instead of calming them. My muscles seized violently, twisting with uncontrollable spasms. Pain exploded behind my eyes, and I slammed my fist hard into the stone floor. The
Chapter 57: The Rogue’s ThroneCASSIAN’S POV I waited patiently like a predator eyeing a prey that is walking directly into a trap.Sitting on my heavy black throne which was carved from wolves bones and obsidian, I crossed my legs as I let my index finger drum a slow rhythm against the armrest.
Chapter 51: Curse and Desire DAMIEN’S POV I walked into the council chamber with pain already simmering low in my veins as I took my seat at the head of the long oak table. The elders filed in one by one with their faces drawn tight and serious under the flickering torchlight that cast long shado
Chapter 47: Midnight Reckoning ROWAN’S POV The pack house drowned in darkness and silence as I slipped through the side door just past eleven. I wore a sweater then a jacket which I zipped high against the chill of the night. Tomorrow night the moon would rise full and red for Cassandra’s execu
Chapter 46: Shadows of the Curse DAMIEN’S POV I gripped the car door handle tight as Gavin pulled out of the pack house drive, the gravel crunched loud under tires in the dead night.
