All Chapters of The Alpha's Fated Desire: Chapter 241 - Chapter 250

{Dominic}Blood.It was all I could taste. Bitter. Metallic. Filling my mouth, my lungs.Snow pressed against my back like knives. Every flake seared into my open wounds, freezing fire against the corruption already eating me alive. My body wouldn’t move. Too heavy. Too broken. Each breath felt like dragging glass through my chest.I blinked, but the world came in broken fragments. Blurred shadows. White ground. A sky that spun. And then—A glow.Gold, searing through the dark like a star dropped to earth. My vision swam, shapes bending and collapsing, but I knew that light. I would always know it.Lyra.Her voice pierced the ringing in my ears, faint but desperate. “Dominic—”My throat worked, but only a wet rattle escaped. Blood dribbled down my chin, staining the snow crimson. My eyes rolled back, and I genuinely thought this was it. That this was where it ended—broken, unfit, watching the world fade while Ryker walked free.But then I thought of her, and the fact that if I were go

{Dominic}All I could see around me was darkness. It wrapped around me like chains, heavy and endless, as if I had been dropped into the heart of a void with no beginning and no end. My body didn’t exist here, my breath had vanished, and all that remained was thick, suffocating silence.I had almost grown accustomed to it. The strange stillness pressed against me, whispering that maybe this was what peace felt like—cold, hollow, eternal. I thought of my sister, of Ryker’s grin, of Lyra’s stubborn fire, and a brutal acceptance settled into me. Maybe I wouldn’t crawl out of this one. Maybe this was where Dominic Bloodhound’s story ended.But then, something seared through the void, tearing cracks into the nothingness. My head snapped up—or maybe it only felt like it. A glow drifted in the distance, faint at first, but then it slowly began to grow. It was pure gold, and at the same time, pure black. The best way to describe it would be light and shadow fused into one orb, swirling like t

{Lyra}I ran until my lungs burned, but no matter how hard I pushed my legs through the snow, I couldn’t keep up with Dominic. He was a storm given flesh—swift, unstoppable, devastating in his rage. Every time I thought I caught a glimpse of him between the trees, he vanished again, shadows and snow swallowing his form whole.“Dominic!” My voice tore from my throat, raw and desperate. But he didn’t slow down. He didn’t even glance back.Branches whipped against my cheeks, the forest floor cracked beneath my boots, and my magic prickled under my skin, trying to guide me, yet I still couldn’t reach him.By the time I stumbled into the clearing, chest heaving, I was too late. There was nothing left.No Dominic. No Grimhold. Not even Ryker. Only scorched snow and claw-marked trees. The silence pressed against me, thick and eerie, as if the world itself had been holding its breath.My knees trembled, but then the wind shifted, and I felt a pulse.It wasn’t just magic, but something deeper,

{Dominic}Ryker’s head snapped toward the clearing where Lyra’s golden light had burst, his shadows writhing like snakes in a panicked state.“Where are they?” he snarled, spit flying from his fangs, his claws twitching at his sides.I spat blood into the snow and wiped my mouth with the back of my hand. “How should I know? I was left behind too.”His eyes narrowed, he clearly didn’t buy it, not really. But he also couldn’t scent her anymore, and that fact alone made his fury more unstable.Then, like the maniac he was, Ryker’s lips stretched into a slow grin. “Do you really think you can defeat me without her? Without that little witchlight holding you together?”I chuckled low in my chest, ignoring the sting in my ribs. “You’ve got it backwards, Ryker.” I straightened, flexing my claws as heat began to pulse in my veins. “Lyra leaving us both behind is probably the most unfortunate thing that could ever happen to you.”He stilled. “And why is that?”I let my grin sharpen, baring the

{Dominic}Snow whipped around us in furious spirals, stung into motion by the shockwaves of our blows. Every strike against Ryker cracked the earth open wider, and still he came at me, shadow fangs snapping, claws black with corruption. My fire clashed against his darkness until the clearing looked like the birth of a new star—flame and void colliding in endless ruin.My ribs throbbed from where he had crushed them moments ago. The wound sealed, but Kael’s essence roared so hot it was beginning to blister me from the inside. My veins glowed molten beneath my fur, pulsing with every ragged breath I drew.Ryker circled me with a predator’s patience, his hulking form wreathed in smoke. His red eyes gleamed, cruel and unshaken. “She left you, Dominic. Didn’t you feel it? That little witch didn’t trust you with her precious brother.” His jaws curled into a grin of jagged shadow. “She ran because deep down she knew—you’d fail them both.”I snarled, my flames flaring higher, but his words sl
