The Cursed Alpha’s Daughter CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE
She isn’t,” a male voice spoke up. “Not yet. I still question this—” the man’s eyes chilled. “Prophecy.”What prophecy? Don’t tell me I’m about to be part of some ritual. The vibes and name of this place weren't helping it's case.I turned toward the man who’d spoken. He was seated on a much less grand throne to Nymera’s right.And Nymera’s smile in response to his statement—gods. Her smile was made for ruin..Around her, the court of Halomore sat in perfect stillness. Not a cough. Not a murmur. They didn’t need to speak; their eyes did enough—sharp enough to bleed me dry.I studied everyone before me coldly, though my heart was doing this annoying, frantic thing in my chest.The man to Nymera’s right—my favorite, if we were choosing favorites in hell—looked like a giant. Broad-shouldered, middle-aged, a scar splitting his bottom lip in two. He dressed simply, in some kind of black robe. No crown, no jewels, yet power hung off him like smoke from a blown out candle. His chin-length d

The air grew colder the closer we rode to the Keep. I didn’t even realize I’d been holding my breath until my vision went spotty. I let it out slow and leaned my forehead against the silver bars. The metal was freezing. Figures.I let the world blur around me as hooves clattered against stone, echoing off buildings that looked too perfect and uniform to be real. The air smelled like incense and sea salt and something else… something sharp.Blood. Old blood.Holy place, my ass.Mafos, the goblin, had long shed whatever fear he’d once had of me. He’d been chattering beside my cage since, going on about where we were headed. I suspected it was less about me and more about how no one else wanted to listen. Vasska certainly didn’t.I, ever the cooperative captive, responded with my polite little ohhs and ahhs.Mafos made the city sound like paradise.And then it rose before us — vast, cold, and beautiful — like something sculpted from a nightmare, as everything in Erevar tended to be.Hal

The first thing I noticed was the ache.Every joint, every muscle, every inch of me throbbed like I’d been thrown from a cliff and left for the wolves.I shifted, the ropes biting into my wrists, the silver bars humming faintly with the bite of metal meant to keep creatures like me subdued. The cage rocked over stones, the wheels creaking beneath it.I'd thought it was all a bad dream.Somewhere beyond the rattling and hoofbeats, I heard birds—morning birds.Sunrise.I’d been unconscious long enough for night to die.I blinked through the dim blur. The air was sharp and cold, the kind that crawled straight into the bones. My throat burned, and before I could stop myself, a small sound escaped. A sniffle. Pathetic, weak—but it slipped out anyway.From ahead, his voice came, low and even.“Crying won’t change anything.”My head snapped up, heart lurching. He hadn’t even turned around—just spoke as if he could feel me crying.Vasska.His pale hair caught the sunrise like frozen glass, hi

My tears soon dried in the biting cold air.The pistol was cold against my palm.My last defense. My last chance.I'd never killed before but apparently I had no squabbles with it when it came down to me being a prisoner to the undead.I raised it, aimed for the nearest vampire’s head, and fired.The shot split the night apart—but they were faster than sound. One blurred aside, the bullet carving air instead of flesh. I fired again. Missed again.The third time, the one I tore his flesh with my teeth caught my wrist mid-shot. His grip snapped bone before I could even scream.White-hot pain seared up my arm. I staggered back, clutching the useless limb to my chest.It would heal.They didn’t advance. They just stood there, pale faces gleaming under the moonlight, watching. I could see it in their eyes—contempt. Disgust. Loathing.“You’ll have to kill me first,” I gasped, aiming again with my good but shaking hand. My voice shook, but I forced it steady. “The only way I’m getting in t

"On the return trip." Father paused, "You'll be excluded. Queen Nymera and the other pure blood nobles of the Eternal house decided to trade the cease of the killings at our borders for—you."For a moment, I just knelt there, staring up at the orb. The light from it flickered faintly, glinting off the sheen of sweat that had broken along my brow.Then I laughed. A small, broken sound.“Father, is my punishment you trying to scare me?” I said, voice trembling between disbelief and hysteria. “That’s the most ludicrous thing I’ve ever heard. Me? Sold to the Erevar royals?”No one else moved. No one even blinked.My laughter died.“Father?” I whispered. “Please tell me this is a joke.”Alpha Romero’s expression didn’t so much as twitch.“A mating,” he said at last.He paused. “I’ll admit, when Queen Nymera requested this of me, I didn’t quite understand. I even suspected the vampires were up to their old tricks—trying to take advantage.”The room blurred around me. A mating?Every word af

The moment they dragged me inside, I knew.It wasn’t a room anymore. Quinn’s quarters had been stripped bare and turned into a council chamber. Maps were pinned to the walls. A lantern swung low above the table, casting warped shadows on every face.And in the center—resting on a stand of blackwood—sat the orb.That damned glass.The air was tight, heavy. No one spoke as I was shoved forward.I stumbled but caught myself. My boots scraped against the boards.My eyes went first to Elio.He didn’t look up. His hands were braced on the table, jaw set. His eyes—red. Not from anger. From something worse. Shame.My stomach sank.Quinn stood beside him, arms folded, somber.The elders flanked them in a perfect half-circle: Ezekiel, North, Torah—all wearing the same look. Disappointment, merciless, sharp and deliberate.And there was no sign of Isolde.That couldn’t be good.The silence stretched until I swore I could hear my pulse echoing in my ears.Then the orb pulsed once.Light spilled
