Alessia's POV:

Mistletoe.

The word lands like a blade to my chest.

For a second, my breathing seize. The air feels thick, charged, like storm before the thunder breaks. The kind of storm that doesn't just ruin crops - but takes lives.

I stare at Cyre, the way her eyes shimmer in the light, her voice still echoing in my ears.

War.

Sharona is bringing war to Greenwoods.

Everything inside me tightens. Even Kaya, my wolf stirs violently inside me, sensing the threat.

Derek, is the first to snap out of the confusion.

"What do you mean mistletoe?" Derek demands, stepping forward, protective instincts already flaring.

Cyre doesn't look away from me. That look - like I know something. That I could do something.

"It's a Hallucinogenic. And also a poison. To wolves," she says quietly. "Used to weaken the mind and body of wolves when inhaled in high concentration...."

Derek cut her off. "I know what a mistletoe does. What I want to know is how is it got in the air?"

Cyre shrug. "Magic. Dark mag

  • The Lycan's Curse - His Hybrid Mate    Chapter Seventy-Four:"...A Perfect Echo of Queen Cassandra."

    Cyre's POV:Pain is a strange thing. It can be sharp, roaring through every vein like fire, or it can be dull - so deep and constant it feels like part of your soul. Right now, it's both. I drift in and out of the fog, fevered and floating, the copper tang of my own blood still clinging to the back of my throat.But I hear her.Alessia.Her voice, hoarse and broken, still echoes through my mind like a thunder off canyon walls. I could hear her clearly from the healer's tent."Then help us bury the dead. And stand with us when the sun rises."She's still trying to help everyone, even when her bones must be screaming for rest. Stubborn girl. Brave girl.I pry my eyes slowly.The tent is dimly lit. A few candles flicker in corners, and the thick scent of herbs wraps around me like blanket. I taste iron on my tongue. My s

  • The Lycan's Curse - His Hybrid Mate    Chapter Seventy-Two: Torn

    Raven POV:I break into a run - swift, silent, gliding through the undergrowth and shadow as if the woods were made for me. The journal thumps lightly against my chest beneath the cloak. The marks in it are fading, and I don't know how long they'll holdThe forest shifts as I move - greener older. Lush.No wonder it is named Greenwoods.Ryel waits for me beyond the clearing, seated near the broken alter stone. A fire crackles low beside him, it flames blue and strange, licking the air with silent hunger. He doesn't look up as I approach.He speaks."You found it."His voice is calm, but there's that low undertow in it - like something ancient beneath still water. It always makes me uneasy, and maybe that's part of why I follow him. You don't follow the tame ones. You follow the ones who make your instincts lean in.I

  • The Lycan's Curse - His Hybrid Mate    Chapter Seventy-One: The Vault

    Raven POV:The wind shifts as I move through the trees - slow, silent, deliberate.They don't near me.Our wolves just stare, watching from a safe distance like they always do. Years in this pack and they still haven't accepted me. Not really. Not fully.Because I am different. Because I'm not a wolf and I never want to be. Maybe I stopped wanting to be long ago.And my kind... well, we've never exactly been friends with wolves from centuries.More like old enemies."The Alpha requests you all stay low. Don't do anything rash," I say, my voice clipped and cold.They nod.They always do.They don't have a choice. They have to tolerate me. Because I'm the Alpha's favorite, in their words - 'The Alpha's beloved pup.' That's what they whisper when they think I can't hear.&

  • The Lycan's Curse - His Hybrid Mate    Chapter Seventy: Ulterior Motives

    Derek POV:The last of the pyres has caught flame, the smoke rising slow and sacred into dawn. Alessia stands with the warriors now, sleeves rolled back, hands smeared with ash and soot like some mourning goddess made flesh. She doesn't see me watching her. She's too busy holding the pack together piece by piece.But I see everything.Including him.Ryel.He's moving too smoothly. Too purposefully. Like a wolf who's memorized the shape of the hunt. I saw how close he got to Alessia - too close. How he spoke with her like an equal, or worse, like a suitor. He's testing the cracks. Looking for leverage. And she let him. For a moment, she let him. That's what twisted the knife.I don't like it.Mason, my wolf, growls low and deep inside me, a rumble of primal possession and warning. My muscles coil with it.Easy boy! I b

  • The Lycan's Curse - His Hybrid Mate    Chapter Sixty-Nine: Nightfall

    Ryel POV:The scent of the burning ash fills the air, thick and cloying. I exhale softly, the wind tugging at the edges of my cloak as I step away from the last corpse, lips still tinged with the final syllables of prayer I no longer believe in.I breathe in the ash-laced air again, this time, letting it settle in my lungs like an offering. Death has always been a better prophet than life. And today, it sings in silence.I watch as the Greenwoods wolves circle the pyres, sending off their deads. A sacred farewell.If only they knew the gods and goddess forgets us. It's time we rebuild the world ourselves.I sign.Fools.Build your pyres to my advantage. They're burial markers, yes, but also seals. My seal. Their doom.My boots crunch softly against blackened earth as I walk away from the crowd. Alessia's voice s

  • The Lycan's Curse - His Hybrid Mate    Chapter Sixty-Eight: Pyres For Our Dead

    Derek POV:The dawn bleeds slowly across the sky, soft light kissing the broken remnants of the battlefield. I feel so tired. Exhausted. But watching Alessia stand besides me, her fingers still woven through mine, but her gaze is distant. Haunted. Watching as Ryel and his wolves move with reverence through the ashes of our fallen. Watching them like she's trying to understand something even she can't name.And I feel it too - that quiet thrums beneath the earth. The battle is over, yes, but war... war never truly ends. It just changes shape.Ryel's wolves spread through the remnants of the fortress like silent ghosts. Respectful. Too respectful.Something about their grace is too rehearsed.Too perfect."You don't trust them," Darren mutters, stepping to my side. His voice low enough not to carry.I glance at him. "Neither do you."
