THE ALPHA'S LAST CHOICE CHAPTER82- THE THREAD BENEATH ALL THINGS.
The thread shimmered in the stale silence, impossibly still as the winds around it howled through dimensions long forgotten. It pulsed with no rhythm, responding instead to the pause in Selena’s breath, to the weight of her stare. The figure waited—not imposing, not urging—just existing, its presence a mirror without glass. Behind her, Lucien called her name, but it sounded far away, as if drowned beneath oceans of memory. The Spiral throbbed once more, not in defiance, but in recognition—this was the origin it had never dared to remember.Selena reached out, her fingers trembling just before they touched the thread. The moment stretched, unbroken, a thousand possible worlds trembling on the edge of her decision. “If I pull it, what happens?” she whispered—not to the figure, but to herself. The voice that answered came not from outside, but within, familiar yet foreign—her own voice, layered with echoes from lives she never lived. You won’t end the world, Selena… you’ll unmask it. Her
THE ALPHA'S LAST CHOICE CHAPTER81- THE CHAINS WE CHOSE.
The name hovered on her tongue, not spoken but sensed—each syllable humming with power that had no place in this world. Selena's knees buckled as the weight of it sank into her bones, branding her soul with memories not entirely her own. Lucien reached for her, but the light between them thickened, warping the air like glass about to break. A hum began low in the ground, like something waking beneath the stone, resonating with the name that had not yet been spoken. The Spiral hissed in pain, its threads unraveling around her ribs like it was being scorched from within.“I remember now,” she whispered, the words forming against the will of her present self. “I didn’t just choose the flame. I was made to carry it.” The reflection in the gate tilted its head, smiling like it had been waiting for centuries to hear her say it. Maera cried out from behind her, blood running from her nose as she tried to hold the runes together with sheer will. The seal cracked beneath her palms, sending up
THE ALPHA'S LAST CHOICE CHPATER80- THE NAME THAT SHOULDN'T BE KNOWN.
The name echoed again—not from the gate, but from the place beneath it, curled like a sickness no time had healed. Selena froze, her hand suspended in the shimmer, heart thrumming in a rhythm no longer her own. Lucien staggered closer, his arm shielding his face from the searing wind, shouting something she couldn’t hear. The voice inside the gate did not scream or command—it recognized. It spoke like an old friend wearing a mask made of her own skin.Maera fell to her knees behind her, glyphs bleeding red across her arms as she pressed her palms to the stone. “Something’s wrong. That voice—Selena, that’s not you!” she cried, tears cutting through the soot on her cheeks. The gate, once a mirror, now rippled like water touched by rot. The doppelgänger stepped back, retreating into the dark, as if it too feared what was waking below. Selena’s pulse slowed, time warping around her as the Spiral pulsed one desperate warning: Unbind it, and we are no longer alone.The Spiral within her sur
THE ALPHA'S LAST CHOICE CHAPTER79- THE GATE BREATHES.
Selena stood paralyzed, the whisper still echoing in her skull like a curse she hadn’t meant to hear. The gate’s presence bled into her senses, soaking her thoughts in spiraling madness. It wasn’t just a structure—it was sentient, awake, and breathing through the rift it had carved into the world. Her body trembled as the Spiral’s markings along her skin glowed with pulsing need, aching toward the threshold. This wasn’t ascension. This was birth.Lucien gripped her wrist, grounding her before the Spiral could claim more. “Selena, don’t listen. It’s lying—whatever’s speaking through it, it isn’t you.” But she could barely hear him. A deeper frequency pulled at her ribcage, a vibration from another epoch. Her memories didn’t match the images flooding her vision, and yet they felt like her own. As if the gate had cracked her open and poured someone else’s legacy inside her bones.“I was made for this,” she said, voice low, as if confessing a sin. “It’s not just calling me. It’s recognizi
THE ALPHA'S LAST CHOICE CHAPTER78- THE SHAPE OF THE GATE.
Selena didn’t remember taking the figure’s hand. One moment, it was offered like an invitation into madness. The next, her surroundings dissolved into a field of shifting echoes—neither dream nor memory, but something older, more primal. Colors bled away, replaced by gradients of heat and pressure, and her Spiral flared like a flare against the void. The figure led her silently, gliding rather than walking, its presence peeling the world open as they moved.They passed through a corridor of broken time, each step scraping across discarded moments—her mother’s final lullaby, Lucien’s first oath, the day she was named. These weren’t hers alone. They belonged to everything. The Spiral inside her writhed, expanding and retreating in rhythm with the corridor’s breath. “This is the space between questions,” the figure said, voice folding into itself. “Where locks are not built of metal, but meaning.” Selena’s fingers curled into fists, anchoring herself with pain.Finally, they arrived. A b
THE ALPHA'S LAST CHOICE CHAPTER77- THE LOCK THAT SPEAKS.
Selena stared at the sigil, its words still seared behind her eyes. The lock must break. Not a plea. Not a warning. A command, spoken with the weight of something older than language. She could feel it now—the lock the Spiral had buried so deep even she had never glimpsed it before. It pulsed beneath her skin like a second heartbeat, coiled in the space between her soul and the Spiral’s core.Lucien approached, careful not to touch her. “Selena, talk to me. What does it mean—the lock?” His voice was steady, but she heard the hesitation, the quiet fear of knowing too much. She closed her eyes, searching within. There, beneath layers of flame and memory, was a sealed threshold. A boundary carved in truth and forged in sacrifice. “It’s something the Spiral was never supposed to open,” she whispered. “Something it bound with its last breath before the cycle began.”The others were summoned before the hour ended. Elias stood rigid at the edge of the altar while Maera, her face pale, examin
THE ALPHA'S LAST CHOICE CHAPTER76- THE SIGIL OF COUNTDOWN.
The sigil burned brighter as the last echo of the wardens faded into the horizon. Its light was no longer passive—it pulsed with intention, each flare sending ripples across the temple floor like silent bells tolling in reverse. Selena stumbled backward, clutching her chest as the Spiral inside her responded with a flicker of heat and dread. The mark hovered midair now, turning slowly, casting fractured reflections across every surface as if reality itself bent in reverence—or fear. A whisper threaded into her mind: Thirty days.Lucien moved to her side instantly, catching her elbow. "What is it doing?" he asked, though his own gaze was locked on the sigil’s rhythmic glow. Selena didn't answer at first. Her voice caught on a vision flashing behind her eyes—Lucien kneeling on scorched ground, his body broken, the skies bleeding red above him. Her breath hitched as the Spiral surged, not in anger, but in desperate defense. "It’s a countdown," she finally said, each word carved from the
THE ALPHA'S LAST CHOICE CHAPTER75- THE FLAME BEYOND THE GATE.
The world beyond the gate was neither sky nor earth—only a boundless expanse of shifting echoes and flickering memories, suspended like glass shards in a storm. Selena stepped through first, the Spiral flaring violently in her chest as her body fought to orient itself in a realm without gravity, light, or time. Her feet touched nothing and everything at once, and the only constant was the pressure of presence—an overwhelming awareness pressing against her soul. Lucien’s hand reached for hers, but a violent current of fragmented light tore through them, ripping his image into smoke. Selena screamed his name, but the sound dissolved into silence, eaten by the void.Shapes moved in the haze, not of beasts or men, but of selves—reflections of her from paths never walked. One stood cloaked in fire, her eyes black with grief; another wore a crown of bone, her expression void of empathy. Each version bore the Spiral, corrupted or refined, showing her what could have been had her choices twis
THE ALPHA'S LAST CHOICE CHAPTER74- THE SHATTERED HORIZON.
The wound in the sky widened, bleeding cold, silver light across the torn horizon. Selena staggered a step forward, shielding her eyes as the unnatural glow pulsed against her skin like fire and frost entwined. The wind screamed through the temple’s bones, carrying with it the mournful cry of something vast and imprisoned no longer. The air had changed—thicker now, as if laced with memory and despair, as though the world itself had stopped breathing. Behind her, Lucien’s fingers grazed her back, anchoring her to the moment while everything else threatened to unravel.The crystal in her hand flared sharply, reacting to the chaos beyond the temple's threshold. A vision—not her own—rushed into her mind, blinding in its clarity. She saw a circle of ancients cloaked in flame and shadow, standing around a chasm that pulsed with a living darkness. One by one, they lowered their weapons and pressed their hands to the earth, sealing something beneath with blood and sacrifice. Selena gasped as
