The stillness within the chamber was ghostly, as though the air had been depleted of life. Ethan and Selene remained on the cold stone floor, breathing intensely, their bodies and minds battered by the fight they had just engaged in. The crystal's once dynamic shine had diminished, casting long shadows over the chamber.

Ethan pushed himself to his feet, each muscle in his body challenging. The adrenaline that had fueled him amid the battle was quickly blurring, taking off behind a profound depletion that debilitated to drag him beneath. He stretched his hand to Selene, to get her on her feet.

“Are you okay?” he inquired, concern embedded in his voice.

Selene gestured, in spite of the fact that her eyes were far off, still preparing what they had just experienced. “I think so. But… that was too close.”

Ethan couldn’t argue with that. The power of the crystal had been their salvation, but it had also nearly destroyed them. He could still feel the remnants of its energy coursing through

  • The Damned Alpha   Chapter One Hundred And One (Final Chapter)

    The tremors within the ground heightens, the echoes of dim enchantment resounding through the air as the abyss appeared to cling to Marcus's very soul. Clara bowed next to him, her heart dashing as she held his hand firmly, her eyes filled with courage and love. The chamber around them was still trembling with the aftermath of their battle, but Clara’s focus was entirely on Marcus. The curse was fighting to keep its hold on him, and she could feel the dark tendrils still embedded in his spirit.Ethan, Mariam, and Fenrik stood a few steps away, catching their breath after the battle. They traded stressed looks, knowing that this was the ultimate test. If they could break the curse, at that point everything they had battled for, all the sacrifices they had made, would not be in vain."Clara," Marcus whispered, his voice frail but unfaltering, "I do not want to leave you. I need to fight this, but I do not know if I can.""You will not fight this alone," Clara said firmly. She leaned clo

  • The Damned Alpha   Chapter One Hundred

    As Marcus lay recovering, Clara’s heart ached with relief, but her mind couldn’t shake the looming sense of dread. The tremors had subsided, but the darkness that had briefly returned wasn’t gone, it was hiding, waiting. The sky, once brightening with the new dawn, seemed veiled in an eerie, gray mist that swirled as though alive.Marcus slowly sat up, his body still weak from the ritual, but his eyes were clear. “Clara...,” he began, his voice hoarse.“Don’t speak,” Clara urged, gently pushing him back down. “You need to rest.”“I’m fine,” he insisted, though his strength was clearly not back. He looked into her eyes, his hand finding hers. “You saved me, Clara.”A brief, tender silence passed between them, but there was no time for it to last. Ethan stepped forward, his expression tense. “We need to move,” he said. “Whatever that was, it’s not over.”Clara nodded, and though she wanted to stay by Marcus’s side, she knew Ethan was right. The battle wasn’t done yet.The group didn’t l

  • The Damned Alpha   Chapter Ninety-Nine

    The Abyss had been destroyed, but the aftermath hung heavy in the air. The void that once undermined to consume everything was now a calm, destroyed field, its perpetual obscurity supplanted with spooky silence. Clara stopped by Marcus's side, her heart pounding as she checked his beat. He was alive, barely.“Stay with me, Marcus,” she said softly, her voice breaking as she brushed his hair from his forehead. Blood seeped through his torn clothing where the claws of the void’s heart had struck him. His breathing was shallow, each rise of his chest labored and weak.Ethan and Mariam arrived at her side, their faces etched with concern. Ethan knelt beside Clara, his hands glowing faintly as he pressed them over Marcus’s wounds.“I can slow the bleeding,” Ethan said, his voice strained. “But whatever that thing did to him, it’s deep. Dark magic, he’s not healing as he should.”Mariam’s expression was terrible as she studied the scene. “We need to get him out of here now. This place still

  • The Damned Alpha   Chapter Ninety-Eight

    Marcus’s hands clawed the empty air as he plummeted into the chasm, Clara’s scream echoing through the void beside him. The sensation of falling was endless, as though the darkness itself had swallowed them whole. His wolf senses heightened, desperate to find a foothold or something to grab onto, but there was nothing, only an abyss so deep and ancient it felt like the very heart of the universe.Suddenly, the fall stopped. Marcus landed with a sharp thud, rolling into a crouch as his claws scraped the ground. His vision blurred momentarily, but he could feel Clara nearby. She was alive. The connection between them was still strong, burning with the intensity of the light they had forged together in the battle above.“Clara!” Marcus called out, his voice hoarse as he forced himself to stand. He checked the harsh darkness around him. There was no ground, no sky, just a perpetual field of dark.“I'm here,” Clara's voice came from behind him, frail but consistent. She faltered toward him

  • The Damned Alpha   Chapter Ninety- Seven

    Brutal tremors shook the ground beneath Marcus and Clara as they stood together, peering into the abyss from which the massive shadowy figure was emerging. Ethan, Mariam, and their allies formed a defensive ring, getting ready for the upcoming confrontation.“We’ve fought through everything,” Ethan growled, his voice tense but determined. “We’re not backing down now.”Marcus’s eyes narrowed as the towering creature loomed over them, its glowing eyes scanning the group with a malevolent hunger. This wasn’t just any shadow, this was something primal, something ancient, far beyond the darkness they had faced so far.“We broke the curse,” Clara whispered, clutching her dagger tightly. “But this... this is different.”The creature took one massive step forward, its claws tearing through the ground. The air grew colder, and a suffocating darkness fell over them. Marcus could feel the weight of the curse that had once shackled him pulling at his heart, but now, his soul burned with the fire

She was resolute in finding a way to break Marcus’s curse, no matter the cost.Marcus glanced at her, his heart tight with a mixture of hope and fear.
