The Alpha's Last Choice Chapter 33: Damon's Confession
Clara's POV "Sarah's grave is in the south section. Near the old oak tree." Damon's voice is quiet as we walk through the pack cemetery. We arrived in the city an hour ago. Emma is safe, extracted by Shadowclaw warriors and currently in protective custody. The wolf watching her apartment was Bloodfang, confirming Marcus is still playing games. But instead of going straight to the coven, Damon asked to stop here first. Said there was something he needed to tell me before we went any further. The cemetery is peaceful. Old headstones dating back generations. Pack members who died in battles, from old age, from the normal dangers of being supernatural. And some who died because their Alpha was distracted. "Here." Damon stops in front of a simple marble stone. "Sarah Mitchell. Beloved mate, fierce warrior, taken too soon." The dates show she died three years ago. Age thirty-one. "She was beautiful," I say, looking at the engraved photo. Dark hair, bright smile, the kind of person
The Alpha's Last Choice Chapter 32: Clara's Circle
Clara's POV"Turn left here. The hospital should be two blocks down."Damon's voice pulls me from the haze of pain that's been my constant companion for the last three hours. We're supposed to be driving to the coven, but I made Kael stop when I saw the sign for Mercy General.My old hospital. Where I used to work before my life became supernatural chaos."Clara, we don't have time for this," Kael says from the driver's seat. "The coven…""Five minutes. Please. I just need to see it one more time." Before I'm not human enough to walk through those doors.He parks in the visitor lot. It's 2 AM, so the main entrance is locked, but I know the staff entrance code. Some habits die hard.Inside, the familiar smell hits me…antiseptic, floor cleaner, and that indefinable scent of sickness and healing mixed together. I worked here for three years. Saved lives in these hallways."You okay?" Damon asks, staying close."Yeah. Just... nostalgic, I guess." I walk toward the ER, drawn by muscle memo
The Alpha's Last Choice Chapter 31: The Waiting Approach
Clara's POV "You met with Marcus Bloodfang behind my back."Kael's voice is ice when I walk into his office. Damon stands by the window, looking guilty. So much for keeping it quiet."He had information I needed," I say, setting Margaret's journal and Marcus's documents on his desk."Information." Kael's laugh is bitter. "Is that what we're calling enemy propaganda now?""Read it." I push the journal toward him. "Margaret Chen figured out the truth seventy years ago. Your grandfather's mate. She knew Elara was sabotaging the bonding attempts.""Margaret died of cancer…""Caused by Elara's poison. It's all documented. Read it, Kael. Please."He opens the journal reluctantly. I watch his face change as he reads, confusion, then shock, then dawning horror."This can't be real," he whispers."Marcus had photographs. Records going back two centuries. The Thorne family has been ensuring every bonding attempt fails because they're terrified of what a successful human-wolf hybrid would becom
The Alpha's Last Choice Chapter 30: Marcus Offer 2
Clara's POV "Kael will lose his mind if you go to Marcus…" "Then don't tell him until I'm already there." I reach the garage and grab keys to one of the SUVs. "I'm taking guards. Four of them. Marcus promised neutral ground and safe passage. If he breaks that promise, you'll know exactly where to find my body." Damon looks torn between tackling me and letting me go. "Four guards. Armed. And you wear a tracker." He pulls a small device from his pocket. "If anything goes wrong, we'll have a strike team there in five minutes." The abandoned church sits exactly on the border between territories. It's old, maybe a century, with broken stained glass windows and ivy crawling up stone walls. Beautiful in a haunted way. Marcus waits on the front steps, alone. He's not what I expected, older than Kael, maybe early forties, with salt-and-pepper hair and the kind of face that belongs in boardrooms, not battles. He wears an expensive suit like he's come from a business meeting. "Ms. Veyron
The Alpha's Last Choice Chapter 29: Marcus's Offer 1
Clara's POV "Clara, breathe. Just breathe." Emma's voice comes through my phone as I hide behind the archive shelves, listening to Helena and her companion descend the stairs. My sister doesn't know about wolves or curses, but she knows panic when she hears it. "I can't… there's no way out…" "There's always a way out. You're a doctor. You've handled worse than this." Emma's practical voice cuts through my terror. "What's around you?" I force myself to look. Old shelves. Boxes. A ventilation grate near the ceiling. "Vent," I whisper. "But it's too high…" "Stack boxes. Move. Now." I shove my phone in my pocket and start moving boxes as quietly as possible. The footsteps pause on the stairs. "Did you hear something?" Helena asks. "Old building. Probably rats." I climb the makeshift tower of boxes, Margaret's journal tucked in my jacket. The vent cover is rusted but comes loose after precious seconds of pulling. I'm squeezing into the narrow space when my phone buzzes. Too lo
The Alpha's Last Choice Chapter 28: Ancient Records
Clara's POV "You can't be serious about going down there."Damon blocks the entrance to the east wing's restricted section. Behind him, a heavy wooden door marked with symbols I don't recognize leads to the pack archives."Samuel said something before they took him away. About records from Kael's father's time." I adjust my grip on the flashlight I borrowed. "I need to see what he was talking about.""Those archives haven't been touched in decades. It's just old pack documents, birth records, territory disputes…""And journals from previous Alphas. Including the ones about failed bonding attempts." I meet his eyes. "Samuel's daughter died trying to bond with Kael's father. There might be information down there that could help me understand what went wrong. What I should avoid."Damon's jaw works. Finally, he steps aside. "Two hours. Then I'm coming down to get you whether you're done or not."The stairs descend into darkness. My flashlight beam catches dust particles floating in air
