{Dominic}

I sat across from her with my chin resting on my knuckles, pretending to review the same page I’d been staring at for the last five minutes.

She was chewing on the pen again.

The truth was, I hadn’t absorbed a thing since she started mouthing the end of that pen like it owed her answers.

“Evangeline Wolfe.” God, I was a fool.

She wasn’t even trying to be seductive. Everything about her was maddeningly unintentional, and it only made things worse.

“That goddamn contract clause,” I sighed, recalling the part where she said there wouldn’t be any sexual interaction.

She didn’t want me, at least not in the way others did. There wasn’t that usual hungry-eyed obsession that most women had around Alphas like me. I mean I was Dominic Bloodhound, damn it. A name that made people tremble, and an Alpha that even the Elder council bowed to.

And yet here she was, crossing her legs on my couch, bored out of her mind, acting like I was too much to tolerate. But that was exactly why I’d p

  • The Alpha's Fated Desire   CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED AND THREE

    {Lyra}Everything was glowing.The light around me pulsed like a heartbeat, filled with warmth… but it couldn’t hide the stillness pressing into my skin. My body didn’t ache anymore. The curse was gone.But still… I was shaking.My knees dipped, hands scrabbling weakly against the earth until they found what I didn’t want to find. My fingers tangled in long hair, then cool skin, fabric soaked in what could be sweat.My breath caught in my chest, and I refused to say why.The world didn’t feel real yet.Not the silence. Not the stillness. I moved as if I was in a dream, aware of every beat of my heart but none of it fully my own.There was life in me again… but there was dread too. An echo, like something had been taken and my soul felt the absence.I opened my eyes slowly.And looked down at her.My mother.Eliza.She lay cradled in the still-burning center of the dome, her face turned slightly to the side, lips parted as if she were whispering some final incantation I had been too l

    {Eliza}I dropped to my knees beside Lyra’s body, trembling hands already weaving a spell.The barrier sprang to life around us with a soft shimmer. Clear as glass, but sturdier than steel. The chaos outside blurred behind it, silenced.It was like stepping into a bubble of still time. Only here, inside this fragile world, could we breathe.I glanced down at her.My daughter.Her skin looked too pale, like candle wax stretched thin. Her breath was nonexistent. Only the faintest pull of air between cracked lips, only the shallowest twitch of her chest, told me she still hovered somewhere near the edge.The pain she was in... I couldn’t feel it, but I knew. The curse inside her was the only thing keeping her alive. A cruel irony… torment as the anchor to life.I set my palm to her chest and began the spell.I whispered as a soft glow began to rise, circling us like mist.“You can’t even scream. You're suffering, and she can’t even scream…” I murmured, voice catching in my throat.She d

    {Dominic}Varen flexed his newly grown fingers, admiring them like they were jewels and not the result of a severed limb seconds ago. A little roll of his shoulder, a dramatic sigh, and then—"That all you got?" he asked. "You really thought a little dismemberment would do the trick?"He chuckled, low and slow, and strolled a few steps toward me, his feet crunching over ruined stone with ease."Come on, Dominic. Hit me again." He slapped his chest with both palms. "Right here. I won’t even move. Promise.”His grin widened. “Hell, I’ll even spot you a few.”I knew he was lying.Didn’t matter, but I paused, even if only for a second, and stared at him. Not at the blood still drying on his lips, or the golden gleam of power behind his smug eyes. I stared through all of that.“I never wanted this,” I said.Varen tilted his head, mockingly curious.“I wanted peace. A future for my sister. My pack, my friends… even that traitor, Ryker. But you. You made sure I’d never have that.”He offered

    {Dominic}She lay crumpled on the ground like her soul had been sucked dry and discarded.Her skin, once flushed with stubborn fire, had turned chalk white. Lips blue. Hands limp. Her chest barely rose, like her body couldn’t remember how to breathe. But that wasn’t the worst of it.“No… Lyra.”Blood leaked from her nose in a slow stream. Pooled from her ears. Her mouth hung open, a thread of red spilling down her chin like wine from a cracked goblet.And then her eyes.Her beautiful, defiant, loving eyes. They bled too. It wept from the corners like tears.Seeing her body like that snapped something in me.I didn’t feel horror.I was consumed by itA raw, tearing scream clawed up my throat, but I couldn’t let it out. It was stuck there, caged by agony that felt like it was chewing through my ribs.I was still pinned, three of those black-fleshed wraiths pressing into my shoulders and chest, but I barely felt them anymore. Their claws pierced into me, but their weight meant nothing.N

    {Lyra}I stood in the clearing barefoot, the darkness silent but watching around me.Oddly enough, I could see clearly. Not beyond a certain point, but still.Alissa stood in the center, arms folded, jaw tight.“You’ve doomed us,” she said flatly.I blinked. “What?”“Again.”“What are you talking about?”Her eyes snapped to mine, and there was no warmth in them. “What he just force-fed you,” she said, voice sharp like a knife through butter. “Have you even been paying attention?”“I—” I tried to recall the taste, the way it had burned down my throat. “That was Soren’s essence, wasn’t it?”Alissa scoffed. “It’s not just his essence, Lyra. It’s what’s meant to give Varen immortality. And you… you just became the damn delivery system.”“I don’t—” I started, but the ground beneath us trembled suddenly, as if an earth quake had hit...‘What?’ I stumbled. Dust lifted in soft spirals. The darkness seemed to shake.Alissa tilted her head back, staring at the sky… whatever the sky looked like.

    {Lyra}‘You’ve got to be kidding me.’I threw my arm out, and a stream of searing flame carved through the air. The corrupted wolf before me screeched as it burst apart mid-leap, smoke curling where its limbs had been.Another one lunged from my left. I spun low, slamming a shield of golden energy into its face, watching the force buckle its skull before it collapsed like a marionette with cut strings.The battlefield roared around me as screams, snarls and magic ripped the very air open. The world smelled like blood and brimstone, and my body was already slick with sweat, grime, and soot.My boots skidded across the broken earth as I pivoted, hurling another bolt of radiant power. It punched through two more monsters in a blink.“Back!” I shouted, pushing my radius wide. The wave shimmered outward, stunning the pack of rogues charging from the ridge. Several collapsed mid-run, foam bubbling from their mouths as Kael’tharis’s power raked through them like divine claws. It had so many
