All Chapters of THE SLAVE THAT STOLE THE ALPHA'S HEART.: Chapter 101 - Chapter 110

Selena's POVThe path stretched before me.Narrow.Twisting.Almost swallowed by the shadows on either side.I couldn't see where it ended.I couldn't see what waited ahead.But I could feel it.Something was watching me.Waiting for me to turn around.I took one step.Then another.The darkness pressed against my skin.Whispers followed me."You can turn back."I ignored the voice."No one would blame you."I kept walking."You've already lost enough."My steps slowed."Your pack."I clenched my fists."Your family."I continued."Your innocence."I stopped.The voice became softer."What if you lose more?"I closed my eyes."What if you lose everything?"My breathing became unsteady."What do you want?" I asked.A quiet laugh echoed through the darkness."I want you to face the truth.""What truth?"The shadows suddenly parted.I stepped forward.And my heart stopped.Silvermoon was burning.The pack was destroyed.Bodies covered the ground.Homes had been reduced to ashes.Blood ra

Selena's POVThe first thing I felt was the ground beneath my feet.It was warm.Not the burning heat of fire, but a deep warmth that seemed to rise from the earth and move through my body.I opened my eyes slowly.The void was gone.The battlefield had returned.Thousands of warriors stood frozen across the valley, staring at me as though they had forgotten how to breathe.The black wound in the sky had disappeared.In its place, silver clouds stretched across the horizon, glowing beneath the fading sunlight.I looked down at myself.Darkness moved beneath my skin, but it no longer looked like something trying to consume me.Silver light flowed through it.The two powers moved together, almost like two rivers joining into one.My clothes had changed as well.Black fabric covered my body, woven with silver markings that curled around my arms and shoulders.A strange symbol rested over my chest.It looked like a crescent moon surrounded by shadows.I touched it.The moment my fingers m

Selena's POVThe creature rose from beneath the valley, and with every inch of its body that emerged, the ground shook harder beneath our feet.It was enormous.Its body was covered in black armor that seemed to have grown from its skin, while long silver markings moved across its chest like living veins. Two pale eyes watched the army without emotion, but when they settled on me, something changed.Recognition.It knew me.I tightened my grip around the Sword of the Moon.Beside me, Ian raised his weapon."Selena, whatever that thing is, stay behind me."I looked at him."You know I won't.""I was hoping you might surprise me."Despite everything, a small smile touched my lips."You should know me better than that."His eyes held mine for a moment longer."I do."The simple answer sent warmth through the fear in my chest.Then the creature roared.The sound shattered the moment.Several warriors fell to their knees, clutching their heads as the force of it swept across the valley.I

Selena's POVThe woman stood beyond the edge of the battlefield, surrounded by a darkness that moved like living smoke.Her silver crown caught the moonlight, but I couldn't see her face beneath the thin veil covering it.I should have been afraid.Instead, I felt something stranger.Recognition.Not because I knew her.Because some part of me remembered her.My hand tightened around the Sword of the Moon."Who are you?"She smiled beneath the veil."You already know.""No, I don't.""You will."Ian moved in front of me."Stay away from her."The woman laughed softly."You still think you can protect Selena from what she is."Ian didn't move."I don't need to know what she is to protect her."The woman's attention shifted to him."That is why you are dangerous."I stepped beside Ian."Leave him out of this."Her eyes returned to me."Still protecting him.""He is my family.""Family?"She tilted her head."Do you know how many people have died because you refuse to let go of those you

Selena's POVI couldn't move.The older Ian stood behind me, his breath cold against my ear, while the real Ian lay several feet away, struggling to rise.My mind refused to accept what I had just heard.He is the one who becomes the true enemy.I turned slowly.The older Ian watched me with those black, empty eyes."You don't believe me.""No."His lips curved into a faint smile."You should."I raised my sword."Stay away from him."He glanced toward the younger version of himself."Look at him carefully, Selena. Look at the man you trust."I did.Ian pushed himself onto one knee, blood running down his temple.His eyes found mine."Don't listen to him."The older Ian laughed."That is exactly what I used to say."My chest tightened."What happened to you?"He looked at his younger self."Love happened."Ian slowly stood."You don't know anything about us.""I know everything."The older Ian's gaze returned to me."I know how she looks at you when she's afraid. I know how she reache
