THE ALPHA'S HIDDEN HEIRS THE PRICE OF POWER
The cell was colder than the last one, smaller too.It was like a box with no windows. Just thick, enchanted stone walls that pulsed with magic. My wrists were raw from the new chains, and Lily lay curled against me, trembling, her small hands balled into fists.“He’s not gone,” she whispered. “Lucas is still in there. I can feel him.”Her confidence surprised me. I had already begun to give up on him, but here she was, determined.I brushed her hair gently. “I know, baby. He’s just scared and confused.”“But he heard me,” she said desperately, tears slipping from her eyes. “He heard me and he walked away.”My throat tightened. I didn’t know what to say. Because I had seen it too, the flicker of regret in Lucas’s little eyes, buried under doubt, power or maybe purpose.The kind of purpose Vincent twisted just enough to squeeze into his mind.Lily wiped her face with the edge of her sleeve. “Why didn’t he come back?”“He just wants to find himself, he'll be back. I promise” I said tr
THE ALPHA'S HIDDEN HEIRS THE GATE OPENS
The stone cracked with a groan that echoed like thunder, the gate in the chamber’s center began to split.A circle of glowing runes surrounded it, soaked in blood.It hummed with the energy of something that wasn't meant to be touched. Something beyond the veil.The Cradle was no longer just a fortress.It was becoming a summoning ground.Lucas trembled beside it, eyes wide, drawn toward the energy like a thread was pulling him forward.He kept trying to pull away, but whatever was drawing him was stronger.“Lucas,” I called weakly. “Stay with me. Baby, don’t go near it.”But he didn’t hear me.Or worse, he ignored me.Vincent stood behind him, hand on his shoulder, his voice smooth and calm.“They never told you the truth, did they?” he said. “Your mother, your father, they’re scared of what you really are.”“They're ashamed of you”Lucas blinked up at him, confused, his breath shaky. “They said I was special... that I had to be protected.”Vincent crouched. “No, Lucas. They wanted
THE ALPHA'S HIDDEN HEIRS THE HEARTS THAT FIGHT
Inside The CradleThe stone beneath me pulsed faintly, like a heartbeat forged from the earth itself. Something ancient stirred beneath us.I could feel it.Lily hadn’t spoken in hours. She sat by Lucas’s side, holding his hand, humming softly under her breath. Lucas had only just stirred, but his eyes were still hazy. Whatever spell Vincent had used was draining them.I stared at the cuffs on my wriss . The were painful, but not unbreakable.Vincent hadn’t accounted for desperation.The guards came every few hours. Always two, Always masked. But I had studied their movements and listened for patterns. I had waited.The next time they entered, I was ready.I slumped to the ground, feigning weakness. One of them stepped closer to check.When he was close enough, I struck. Driving my knee into his throat, I snatched the small dagger from his belt and stabbed him. The second guard lunged toward me, but I rolled as fast as I could, catching him in the ribs and jamming the dagger straig
THE ALPHA'S HIDDEN HEIRS WHEN THE SHADOWS STRIKE
Days passed and Vincent and his men where quiet, Too quiet.Training continued and the patrols doubled. The fortress pulsed with tension, everyone waiting for Eric’s strike on The Cradle.But Vincent didn’t wait. He watched and when everyone least expected it, he moved.In the woods beyond the fortress, a low fog crept through the trees, swallowing roots and shadows alike. Three figures moved soundlessly beneath the veil of mist, clothed in black, faces painted with runic markings.Vincent’s chosen.Spies bred for infiltration.One of them, smaller, with red-tipped claws, pressed a gloved hand to the earth.“They’re asleep,” she whispered. “Eric is gone. Half the guards rotated.”The second pulled out a small carved crystal, humming with dark energy. “We go for the girl first. The boy second. The mother... we bring alive.”“And if they resist?” the third asked.“We won't give them a chance to.”Inside the fortress, I couldn’t sleep.Something had shifted in the air. I could feel it in
THE ALPHA'S HIDDEN HEIRS WHISPERS AND WARS
The fortress walls as the weight of the war burned through the people's sleep. The fires in the eastern tower burned low. I sat with Lucas and Lily wrapped in thick blankets in the hidden chamber below the main wing, watching their eyes as they darted behind fluttering lids.They had another nightmare.No, a vision.Lucas jolted upright, eyes glowing faint silver.“Lily,” he whispered. “Wake up.”She stirred, her small hands trembling as she gripped the side of the cot.“They’re underground,” she whispered before even seeing us.Eric, standing in the doorway, stepped inside.“You saw it again?” he asked quietly.Lucas nodded, his voice hoarse. “There’s a lake... but not really a lake. It’s fake. There’s stone beneath, People.”“Children,” Lily added. “And wolves but they don’t howl. They scream.”“An illusion spell” Eric murmured as he nodded to me.Eric crouched beside them, calm but alert.“That’s The Cradle,” he said, his eyes on me but his attention solely on the kids. “The spy m
THE ALPHA'S HIDDEN HEIRS BREAK THE SILENCE
The chamber beneath the fortress was built for one purpose, extraction.The walls were reinforced with runes to muffle sound. The floor was stone, probably stained by older wars. No windows. Just cold air, steel chains, and shadows.Eric stood at the center, shirtless, his hands bloody from the first strike. Jaden lingered in the background, watching silently. I had taken the twins to a secure wing, locking the door and telling them not to come out, no matter what they heard.After Jaden brought the spies, they had gone in search of more. Only five others were discovered, but it was better then none.The right was quick, just Eric and Jaden against the other five. When the fight was over, the only thing left was their bodies, ribbed apart and creating a stream of blood.Now it was just them. The two spies.One of the men, a young rogue with scars on his neck and silver-threaded tattoos spit a mouthful of blood at Eric’s feet.“You’ll get nothing from us.”Eric didn’t flinch. “I don’t
