The moment Selene’s head drops against my shoulder, something inside me rips open. It’s not just a crack; it’s a violent split that leaves only one instinct coursing through me.

Get her out.

Get her breathing.

Kill anything in the way.

Nothing else matters.

The ritual chamber collapses behind us as I sprint down the corridor. The floor buckles, and stones explode outward. Dust fills the air. I hold her tighter, shielding her from falling debris with my body. Her pulse trembles faintly against my wrist—too soft, too irregular.

“Stay with me,” I growl against her hair. “I said, stay with me.”

No response.

The twisting hallway stretches ahead. The torches flicker wildly as the entire palace shakes. Magic seeps from the walls, erratic and unstable. The priests must have broken something deeper than they realized.

Or I did.

I don’t care.

My boots pound against the fractured marble. Every breath is thick with smoke and fury. I feel her weight in my arms—far too light, far too limp. Ever

  • The Alpha King's Shadow   Chapter 75

    The light didn't just touch me; it slammed into me, hard. It wasn't a gentle embrace or a soft glow, but a brutal, crushing force.Imagine being thrown right into the heart of a star. That's what it felt like. The heat was intense, the pressure unbearable, and a white-hot noise tore through my senses. I couldn't breathe, my lungs locked up, and my vision dissolved into pure, blinding light.I tried to move, to fight back, but my body wouldn't listen. Even my thoughts felt sluggish and unresponsive. Then, something else began stirring inside me, pushing its way to the surface.A low rumble started deep in my spine, like a second heartbeat awakening. It spread quickly, climbing up my ribs, coiling around my throat. My fingers twisted and contorted, forming claws driven by raw instinct. The taste of iron and ozone filled my mouth.Then, a voice, not spoken but injected directly into my mind, echoed in my skull: Guardian. Do what you are told.My jaw clenched so hard it hurt—pain shot thr

  • The Alpha King's Shadow   Chapter 74

    Okay, I will start to rewrite the text to sound more human-written and creative. Let’s begin!Okay, here it is:The dark wasn't just nothing.It had weight, like being underwater. Except instead of wet, it was just cold. So cold. And it had a pulse, a slow, heavy beat that made my teeth ache.As I fell, it felt like the dark was trying to hold me back. Like gravity was confused and didn't know if it wanted me to drop like a stone or float away. Bits of magic zipped past, like icy knives. The air vibrated deep down, a low hum that made me think of something huge waking up below.Aurek was up there somewhere. I couldn't see him, but I could feel him, a pull in my chest like a string tied between us, stretched so tight it might snap.I couldn't see a thing. My hair whipped around my face, stinging my eyes. And my heart! It was going crazy, a messed-up rhythm that wasn't mine. It was like my own heart was arguing with me.Then, a shape ripped through the dark.Aurek.He was falling faster

  • The Alpha King's Shadow   Chapter 73

    My whole world had shrunk to this awful place, a never-ending nightmare of two things: this awful light and never-ending pain.The light was cold, not nice at all. It made me feel alone. The pain was always there, like bits of glass cutting me up, hurting my bones all the time.Each breath I took hurt so much, like fire in my chest. The chains weren't just metal; they felt alive, digging into my skin, messing with my heartbeat.A weird humming sound came from below, like something really bad was about to happen, like screams turned into words.I squeezed my eyes shut, trying to stay strong, and then opened them again.At first, everything was blurry, moving around. Then, slowly, I could see again.There was a circle glowing in a creepy way on the floor. White lines, like snakes, were all over the stone, moving with my heartbeat. Each beat made me feel sick.But right then, only one thing mattered.Aurek was there.His hands were burned, with skin falling off, showing how much he'd suf

  • The Alpha King's Shadow   Chapter 72

    The second Aurek yanked those old iron doors open, the smell just about knocked us off our feet. It was a nasty mix of ancient blood, the funky scent of burnt herbs, and something sharp and metallic that felt totally alien, like it didn't belong anywhere on this planet.Aurek froze, his whole body going stiff.I bumped right into him, stopping short.The hallway stretched out in front of us, dark as pitch but definitely not empty. Shadows flickered and danced, but not in any normal way. They moved way too fast, too smooth, like they had a mind of their own. Creepy.Aurek's grip on his sword tightened until his knuckles were white. They're here, he breathed, the words barely audible.The Shades? I whispered back, my voice trembling a little.He shook his head, his voice even lower this time. Something a lot worse.He took a step forward, real slow and careful, but the muscle in his jaw was jumping like he was fighting to keep from losing it completely. Ever since we left the throne roo

  • The Alpha King's Shadow   Chapter 71

    The staircase wasn't just narrow; it was a claustrophobic squeeze, far tighter than Selene had braced herself for. It felt like the fortress looming above had completely forgotten about this forgotten passage. The stone steps were worn smooth by countless feet from a time long, long before the fortress was even an idea. Down here, the air was like a damp, heavy blanket – cold and absolutely still. Every footstep echoed way too much, booming up the stairwell as if the darkness itself was copying their every move, whispering their presence back to them in a mocking tone.Aurek's grip on her shoulder tightened, not on purpose, but like a reflex. He was losing steam fast, and she could feel it.Aurek, she said softly, tell me we're almost there.His breathing was rough, like he'd been running a marathon uphill. Lower levels… three more flights.Her stomach dropped, turning into a cold, hard knot.He wasn't going to make it. Not three more flights.Hang on to me, she told him gently.I am

  • The Alpha King's Shadow   Chapter 70

    The torchlight, now like an angry sun at my back, meant soldiers were pouring into the tunnels. They were following a trail of blood, ash, and the ghost of my former sanity. experienceBut Kael stood there, a wall at the exit.My brother.His gaze flicked down, lingering on Selene, cradled against me. Her dark hair was plastered to her pale cheek. I felt her pulse, a hummingbird's frantic beat, against my wrist. He took it all in: the ritual burns etched into her arms, the ugly purple bruises circling her throat, even the smear of my own blood staining her skin.His jaw tightened. The muscle jumped.What happened to her? he asked.Get out of my way. My voice was rough, sharp.I can't.The word cracked through the tunnel's silence.For a heartbeat, neither of us moved, neither of us breathed. Just the drip, drip, drip of water.Kael stepped closer. Rainwater beaded in his hair, and his sword hung low, but he didn't sheathe it.“You’re losing blood,” he stated, his voice even, calmer no
