THE ALPHA AND THE OMEGA 113. Serpent's Offer
Chapter 113: Serpent’s Offer CASSIAN’S POV I stepped back into Rowan’s destroyed chambers and closed the door behind me with a soft click. The stench of cheap liquor and broken pride filled the air. Glass crunched under my boots as I crossed the room. Rowan sat slumped against the bed frame with another bottle dangling from his fingers. His eyes looked glassy and unfocused, but a spark of suspicion still burned there when he saw me return. “You are persistent,” he slurred. “I already told you to leave yesterday. Why are you here again today?” I ignored the mess and pulled up the only chair still standing. Shadows curled lazily around my shoulders as I sat down across from him. “I thought about what you said, about accepting fate, about letting Damien keep her. And I realized something, you are not the only one who loses if that happens.” Rowan took a long drink and wiped his mouth with the back of his hand. “Save your breath. I am done.” I leaned forward and rested my elbows on
THE ALPHA AND THE OMEGA 112. An Empty Space
Chapter 112: An Empty SpaceROWAN’S POV I sat on the cold floor of my chambers surrounded by broken furniture and the sharp smell of spilled liquor. Another empty bottle lay on its side near my boot. The portrait of Anya stared back at me from the table I had not destroyed yet. Her smile felt like a knife in my gut. I reached for the new bottle and drank deep until the burn chased away the worst of the memories for a few seconds. The door burst open without a knock. Gavin and Iris stormed in. The two who had once served Damien but now stayed in my pack after switching sides during the chaos. Gavin, broad-shouldered and serious, crossed his arms. Iris, sharp-eyed and quick with a blade, kicked an overturned chair out of her way. “What the hell is this?” Gavin demanded. “You look like a damn beggar king drowning in his own piss. Get up, Rowan.” I laughed bitterly and took another swig. “Leave me alone. The alpha is busy accepting reality.” Iris snatched the bottle from my hand befo
THE ALPHA AND THE OMEGA 111. Chains of Victory
Chapter 111: Chains of Victory DAMIEN’S POV I slammed Cassandra against the nullstone wall of the dungeon cell. The chains rattled loudly as her back hit the cold surface. Blood still dripped from the cut on my side, but the pain felt distant now. Anya’s moonlight flowed through our bond and dulled the worst of it. The imprint worked better than I had hoped. She carried my curse and I drew on her strength. We had become something new on that battlefield.“Talk,” I growled as I pressed my forearm against her throat. “What are you doing here? Why did you show up here on the night of my wedding ceremony? Did Cassian send you?” Cassandra smiled through split lips. Her eyes gleamed with madness even as nullstone suppressed her power. “You really think I will do Cassian’s bidding? Damien, you should know that you chose the wrong sister. Anya will destroy you just like her grandmother promised.” I tightened my grip until she gasped. The bond pulsed with Anya’s unease somewhere above us i
THE ALPHA AND THE OMEGA 110. Echoes in the Blood
Chapter 110: Echoes in the Blood ANYA’S POVThe heavy wooden door to Damien’s chambers clicked shut behind us and cut off the last echoes of music from the feast. Silence wrapped around me like a thick cloak. My white gown suddenly felt too tight across my chest as I stood in the middle of the room. Candles burned low on every surface and cast warm golden light over the large bed draped in black and silver furs. Damien watched me from near the window with his hands clasped behind his back. The new blood bond hummed steadily between us like a second pulse I could not ignore.I crossed my arms and moved away from him toward the fireplace. Heat from the flames brushed my skin but did nothing to warm the cold knot in my stomach. “So this is it. We are truly bound now. No turning back.” Damien stepped closer with slow measured steps. His black robes brushed the floor as he stopped just behind me. “You felt it during the ritual. Our blood sings together. The curse already feels lighter in
THE ALPHA AND THE OMEGA 109. Shadow's Fury
Chapter 109: Shadow’s Fury CASSIAN’S POV I stood on the ridge overlooking Damien’s territory with shadows curling around my fists like living smoke. The full moon hung fat and mocking in the sky while distant drums and cheers drifted up from the courtyard below. They celebrated. That bastard had actually done it. He had married Anya under the moon and bound her with blood while I watched from the shadows like a fool who had hesitated at the wrong moment. Rage burned hot through my veins. I slammed my palm against the nearest tree trunk and bark exploded under the impact. How had I let this happen? I should have taken her the moment I stepped into that chamber. Instead I played games and watched two wolves fight over her like idiots. Now she carried his blood in her body and his ring on her finger. The thought made me want to rip the entire forest apart. “Damn it all,” I growled into the night. My voice echoed off the rocks and faded into the trees. I had underestimated Damien’s d
THE ALPHA AND THE OMEGA 108. Blood Moon Unison
Chapter 108: Blood Moon Unison ANYA’S POVServants tightened the white gown around my waist and pinned my hair with silver combs that caught the moonlight. The fabric flowed like liquid silk down my legs, beautiful and heavy at the same time. I stared at my reflection in the tall mirror and barely recognized the woman looking back. My eyes looked hollow. My hands trembled as I clutched the bouquet of night-blooming flowers they had forced into my grip. Every part of me screamed to run, but my feet stayed rooted to the stone floor. I kept hoping. Every second I prayed Rowan would burst through the doors and stop this nightmare. He would roar my name, fight through the guards, and pull me away from Damien forever. But the minutes stretched on and the only sounds I heard came from the servants whispering instructions and the distant drums beating in the courtyard. “They are ready for you, my lady,” one older woman said softly as she adjusted the veil over my face. I swallowed hard an

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.
