Jake’s POV

I found Clara near the outer courtyard, standing by the wall where the frost still clung to the stones. She turned when she heard my boots crunch the gravel. Her hair was tied back, her eyes sharp. She had that look again — the one she got when she sensed trouble before the rest of us did.

“You feel it too,” she said. Not a question.

“Yeah,” I admitted. “Something’s off.”

“Lucas?”

“He’s sick,” I said. “Won’t let the healers near him. Rose says it’s a fever. I’ve seen fevers. This isn’t one.”

Her brows knit together. “The curse?”

I looked away toward the main tower where the royal chambers sat. Smoke curled from the chimney, slow and dark. “Maybe. If it is, it’s moving fast.”

Clara exhaled, her breath misting in the cold air. “I told Rose it wasn’t wise to trust those sisters too easily.”

“I told Lucas the same thing,” I said. “He wanted proof. We’re going to find it.”

She nodded once, no fear in her eyes — just that stubborn courage that drew me to her more than I cared to

  • The Alpha's Rogue Mate    Chapter 90

    ROSE’S POV“Drake… start it. Now.”My voice didn’t even sound like mine. It vibrated with something sharp, something desperate. The chamber felt too small, too dark, too full of the curse gnawing at Lucas’s life.Drake hesitated for only a breath before he lifted the obsidian dagger. Its surface shimmered with red veins — not reflections, not light. The curse recognized itself.The air thickened.My heart pounded so violently that I had to place a hand on Lucas’s chest just to remind myself he was still here. Still warm. Still breathing. Still mine.“Lie down,” Drake instructed quietly.I sank to the floor, the stone cold beneath me. My hands trembled, but my voice didn’t. “Do it.”Drake knelt beside me, and for once, he didn’t smirk, didn’t posture, didn’t stand like a king. His eyes held something like fear — not for me, but because he truly didn’t know what the ritual would awaken.He placed his palm over my heart. It felt like ice.“The curse is shifting toward the child,” he murm

    Rose’s POV“Keep him breathing,” I told the healer as I stood. My voice didn’t shake this time.“Yes, Luna,” she said, bowing quickly before turning back to Lucas.I moved toward the door.“Where are you going?” Jake asked from the hallway the moment he spotted me. His eyes darted past me to the bed, his breath catching. “Is he—”“Alive,” I answered. “Barely. Drake bought us one night.”Jake’s jaw clenched. “And you trusted him?”“I didn’t trust him,” I said sharply. “I chose Lucas.”Jake exhaled hard but didn’t argue. “What do you need?”“The priestess,” I said. “Now.”He nodded once and jogged ahead.The prayer hall was dim, lit only by thin strands of silver candles that lined the walls like stars caught in stone. The priestess knelt before the altar, head bowed, hands folded as if she had been waiting for me.She lifted her face when I entered.Her eyes widened.“You felt it,” I said.“I felt everything,” she replied quietly. “Something monstrous stirred tonight.”I walked straigh

    Rose’s POV“Move!” I shouted.The guards rushed in, lifting Lucas carefully from my arms. His skin was burning, his breath uneven, the curse thrashing through him like a trapped storm. The healer ran toward us, but before her hands even touched him, the air in the room shifted.Cold.Wrong.Like the walls exhaled a breath that didn’t belong to them.My heart thudded once, painfully hard.That scent.That presence.That deliberate, amused darkness.A shadow stretched beneath the doorway before a figure stepped through it as if the castle belonged to him.Drake.Alive.Smiling.And walking into my home as though he had been invited.“Easy,” he said, raising both palms slowly as the guards drew weapons. “I heard commotion. Thought I should come see if my future allies were still breathing.”My wolf bristled.No — she snarled inside me, ready to tear him apart.“What are you doing here?” I asked, stepping between him and Lucas instinctively. “The border guards were supposed to escort you.

  • The Alpha's Rogue Mate    Chapter 87

    ROSE’S POV“Lucas!”My scream tore out of me as I lunged into the throne room. The air tasted like burning metal. The torches flickered violently, struggling to stay alive. Magic so thick it felt like poison pulsed through the chamber.At the center of it—Lucas hung suspended, limp, trapped within a rising spiral of red-black sigils that burned themselves into the air. His eyes were closed. His limbs jerked occasionally as though something inside him fought to tear free.The Demon King stood beneath him, tracing the last of the symbols with a hand made of smoke and claws. He did not turn until I skidded across the marble floor, fur bristling, jaws bared.His smile curved slowly.“So. The mate arrives.”Every part of me wanted to leap at him, tear him apart, rip that smirk from his face and drag Lucas out of the air with my teeth if I had to.“You have no right to touch him,” I growled.He chuckled. “I have every right. I gave your line the curse. I decide when it ends.”I crouched lo

    ROSE’S POV“I am going to find them.”The words left my mouth before I realized I was already moving. The hallways blurred into streaks of torchlight as I walked, every step fueled by the bond vibrating like torn metal between me and Lucas. Pain still clung to me like smoke after flame, but what drove me forward was sharper than fear.I needed answers.I needed the truth.And I was done waiting for it to come to me.The guards stepped aside without question. Maybe they saw the storm in my eyes. Maybe they felt the shift simmering beneath my skin. Either way, no one dared stop me.I followed the trace of their scents through the eastern corridor, the scent of cold river water, rosemary soap, and something sour underneath that they thought could be masked. They were good at pretending weakness, but never good enough to hide who they were from a wolf who remembered every bruise, every laugh, every bucket of freezing water.My sisters.My enemies.The closer I drew to the guest chambers,

  • The Alpha's Rogue Mate    Chapter 85

    Rose’s POVGuards rotated in tighter patterns. Doors that were always open stayed bolted. Windows that had never been checked for cracks were inspected three times. Even the walls felt tense, like they were listening.But the stillness inside Lucas’s chamber was worse.He lay where I had settled him, breathing shallowly but steadily. His hand twitched occasionally. Once, he whispered something in his sleep, my name breaking apart on his lips.I brushed my fingers along his cheek. “I’ll be back soon.”Clara stepped closer. “Where are you going?”“Somewhere I should have gone weeks ago,” I said, gently pulling my cloak over my shoulders. “To their rooms.”Clara’s brows drew together. “Alone?”I met her eyes. “I’m pregnant, not helpless.”Ben scoffed. “You can be both, you know.”Jake stepped forward. “You’re not going alone.”I shook my head. “If I’m being watched, I want them to think I’m unguarded. My sisters will act differently without witnesses.”Clara frowned. “You think they’ll s
