THE ALPHA AND THE OMEGA 97. The Smirk in the Shadows
Chapter 97: The Smirk in the ShadowsCASSIAN’S POVThe heavy doors of the great hall burst open with a crash that echoed off the black stone walls. My men dragged Cassandra inside like a sack of writhing meat. Her screams filled the air sharp and desperate while tears streamed down her once-perfect face. She kicked and twisted against their iron grips but they held firm with hands like vices around her arms. The sound of her bare feet scraping across the cold floor sent a dark thrill through my veins.“Please Cassian,” she begged between sobs. “Let me go. I will disappear. You will never see me again. Just spare me this once.”I sat on the raised throne of obsidian and watched her with cold detachment. No flicker of the old pity stirred in my chest. That part of me had died long ago when she first showed her true fangs. The mighty Cassandra reduced to this sniveling mess. Once she had strutted through these halls with her chin high and her belly swollen as a shield. She had believed t
THE ALPHA AND THE OMEGA 96. Empty Bed and Burning Rage
Chapter 96: Empty Bed and Burning Rage ROWAN’S POVPain exploded through my skull the moment I cracked my eyes open. My body felt as if it had been dragged across sharp rocks and left to bleed under the open sky. I groaned, trying to push myself up, but my arms buckled and I collapsed back against the pillows. The room spun slowly, wooden beams blurring overhead. The thick scent of herbs and healing salve hung heavy in the air. Sunlight sliced through the half-drawn curtains, stabbing straight into my eyes.I blinked hard, forcing my vision to clear. Memories slammed into me one after another.The ridge, the shadows. Damien’s gold eyes gleaming with triumph. His knee drove into my chest while I clawed at his arms. Anya’s scream cut through the night as her power flickered and died in her hands. Then, nothing, just blackness.Anya.Her name hit me like a fresh wound. I jerked upright, ignoring the scream of protest from my ribs. The bed beside me was empty and cold. No trace of her
THE ALPHA AND THE OMEGA 95. Chains and Moomlight
Chapter 95: Chains and MoonlightDAMIEN’S POV I carried her through the darkened halls of the stronghold, her head rested limp against my shoulder, and her bound wrists pressed to my chest. Victory tasted sharper than any wine I had ever swallowed. The moon goddess had once more smiled on me tonight, she had delivered my prize straight into my arms.Lior had warned me that Rowan would never spill the true location of the Codex to him if he’s not up to something. I knew that too well. Rowan loved Anya so much, that meant he would protect everything that is tied to her safety. So when he deliberately fed Rowan the half-truth about the book being at her parent’s house we both knew the trap would spring. I kicked the door to my chamber open with my boot and crossed to the wide bed draped in black silk. I laid her down gently, arranged her limbs so she looked almost peaceful. Almost like the girl who once looked at me with trust instead of terror. I pulled the silver-threaded chains fro
THE ALPHA AND THE OMEGA 94. Shadows on the Ridge
Chapter 94: Shadows on the RidgeANYA’S POV I paced the length of Rowan’s study with my arms crossed right across my chest and felt the heat climb up my neck every time I glanced at him. The evening light slanted through the narrow windows and painted long stripes of gold across the floorboards while he sat behind his desk with his hands folded and his expression calm in a way that made my teeth grind. “You told him,” I said and stopped right in front of the desk so he had to look up at me. “You told Lior the book is at my parents’ house even after I asked you to keep your mouth shut.”Rowan exhaled through his nose and leaned back in the chair. “I didn’t tell him the exact location. I only said it’s there. That’s all.”“That’s enough.” My voice rose sharper than I meant it to and I hated how it cracked at the end. “I trusted you to stay quiet. You promised, Rowan.”“I needed to test him.” He stood slowly and walked around the desk until he stood close enough that I could smell the
THE ALPHA AND THE OMEGA 93. The Fire In The Glass
Chapter 93: The Fire In The Glass DAMIEN’S POV I stood barefoot on the cold stone floor of my chamber and cradled the heavy crystal glass of dark red wine in one hand while I watched the sun claw its way over the eastern ridge. Orange and gold bled across the sky with such vicious brightness that my eyes stung for a moment. I lifted the glass slowly and took a long sip. The wine burned down my throat with a familiar heat and spread warmth through my chest as a lazy smile tugged at my lips. This smile felt different from the ones I had forced for months. It sat loose and real on my face and for the first time in ages the tight knot behind my ribs eased just enough to let me breathe.Lior’s words echoed in my skull with quiet insistence.“I can get Anya out of Crescent Moon alone. She will walk straight into your hands.”A low laugh escaped me and bounced softly off the walls. I tilted the glass again and swallowed half the contents in one go. The taste coated my tongue with victory
THE ALPHA AND THE OMEGA 92. The Trap in the Study
Chapter 92: The Trap in the Study ROWAN’S POV Sunlight crept through the shutters and warmed the new sheets tangled around my legs. I woke slowly, expecting to feel Anya’s weight against my chest or her hair tickling my throat. Instead the bed stayed empty on her side. I opened my eyes and found her sitting in the chair by the window with her knees drawn up and her arms wrapped around them. She stared out at the courtyard below like the world had paused and she was the only thing still moving inside it.I sat up fast so fast the mattress dipped under me. “Anya?”She blinked and turned her head. For half a heartbeat she looked startled, like she hadn’t heard me come awake. Then she flashed a small, and tight smile, the kind that never reached her eyes.I swung my legs off the bed and crossed the room barefoot. When I reached her I rested one hand on her shoulder and squeezed gently. “You’re up early. What’s going on?”She leaned her cheek against my knuckles for a second before she

Chapter 61: The Four Threads ANYA’S POV I sat on the low stone bench in the center of the chamber with my knees pulled tight to my chest and stared at the woman who looked exactly like my mother. But this woman claims to be my aunt. An aunt that I’d never heard of from my mother. My throat felt

Chapter 56: Fractured Control DAMIEN’S POV I stood under the scalding spray of the shower with water pounding my shoulders and steam filling the bathroom. The steam was as thick as fog while the curse burned slowly and steadily in my veins like a banked fire that refused to die. Every drop that h

Chapter 55: Chained Awakening ANYA’S POV I came back to myself slowly with my head throbbing like someone had driven a spike through my skull. The sunlight filtered through heavy curtains in soft golden stripes across the bed. I tried to sit up and a sharp pain lanced through my temple so fierce.
