Romans & histoires Chained To The Enemy Alpha

Hunched and bound in chains are both the Beta and Gamma. We all take a collective step back. "We will wait," the Alphas both agree. "And as soon as we see the right opportunity, we will move in and slaughter all of those witches where they stand."

He recalled her words once, icy but honest: If he falls, I will kill him myself. "Then I'll never fall," Miyal choked, his voice half-broken. "Not to you. Not to anyone." His claws gouged into his own chest, where the Golden Chains burned hottest. Light pulsed, struggling, writhing to escape. Vosvak hissed, stepping back. "What are you?" "I am Alpha!" Miyal bellowed, his body bowing, muscles splitting asunder under the tension. "I am not yours!" With a final, raw howl that convulsed the Citadel, Miyal tore himself upright. The Golden Chains burned with such intensity they blinded the chamber, exploding outward in a deluge of pure holy fire.

Every day, it felt like a chain being yanked from inside my chest…dragging me, tormenting me, whispering her name in every goddamn breath. “Selene!!!” I yelled, punching the stone wall beside me. My knuckles bled, but the pain only cleared my mind. I stormed onto the next call, the Alpha of Hollow River, Rorik, was tied with chains on his wrists. Stripped of his title and pride. I dragged a chair across the floor and sat in front of him, my arms crossed. “You’re an Alpha right?” I asked calmly. “So you should understand how bonds work. You should know what happens when an Alpha is denied his mate.”

Someone raised on war and dominance and rules she didn't live by. And yet. The bond had chosen. And it wasn’t going away. By morning, her Alpha summoned her. Kaela stood stiffly by the hearth, shoulders tight as her Alpha glared at her from across the room. The firelight made the scars across his cheek look deeper. “You disobeyed,” he said simply. Kaela said nothing. Her lips pressed together. “You spoke out of turn. At the summit. You made contact with him.” She flinched. But still — didn’t respond.

Scattered ash still drifted on the breeze like fading memories, a stark reminder that though the war with the Crimson Fang had ended, the fight for their future was just beginning. Kael stood on the precipice overlooking the valley, the jagged cliffs beneath his feet a metaphor for the precarious position he and his pack now held. The cool morning air ruffled his dark hair, and his silver eyes, ever watchful, pierced the horizon. His mind was a tempest of thoughts—strategies to rebuild, alliances to forge, and the heavy burden of leadership that came with being an Alpha marked by the enemy.

"Someone got into his room last night. Tore his throat out. Your brother tried to stop them. He's dead too." Dmitri couldn't breathe. I couldn't think. The phone felt like lead in his hand. "The pack is falling apart," Irina continued, speaking faster now. "Challengers are already circling. They're saying you abandoned us to go to some party while enemies killed our Alpha. If you don't come back *right now*, we're going to lose everything. The pack. The territory. All of it." Dmitri looked back at the bell tower door. Behind it, his mate was sleeping. The woman his wolf had claimed. The woman he'd promised without words, but promised all the same that he'd protect.

"Go somewhere else Alpha.” I leave. I had just returned about fifteen minutes later when Maren walked out of the chamber with her bag of medicine on her shoulders. She raises her head up at me without flinching. Thirty years of dealing with alphas had cured her of being impressed by them. "She will live. I release the breath I did not realize I was holding. "How bad?"

I could see the rogue alpha’s eyes scanning the battlefield, a cold, calculating look that sent a chill down my spine. Noah appeared at my side, his face grim. “We need to take down their leader. It’s the only way to break their momentum.” I nodded, already moving toward the rogue alpha. My heart was pounding, my breath coming in ragged gasps as I fought my way through the enemy lines. The rogue alpha was a formidable opponent, his strength and skill evident in every movement. He fought with a primal rage, each swing of his claws a deadly threat. I finally reached the rogue alpha, our eyes locking in a moment of intense recognition. The alpha’s gaze was dark, almost predatory, and a twisted

My hands were trembling but my eyes stared at the guards, seeming more unaffected than I felt. The blonde guard didn’t take it well and took a threatening step towards me, raising his hand. I geared myself to receive the slap he was about to give when- “Don’t,” the guard with a scar on his face said, swiftly holding the other guard’s arm and staying his intended blow for me. His gaze was grim and warning to his friend. “Remember what the Alpha said. No one is to touch her.” He sneered at me. “He’s going to punish her himself. No need to add ourselves into the damn mix.”

I sneered to the howls of delight from the Alpha’s on the other end of the radio, “I’ll join you shortly on the outskirts of their location. Just remember, we need to leave at least one of them alive. Keep your eyes peeled for any rogue that looks as though he wants to flee, or any that actually do flee. They will be the most useful for what I have planned.” It didn’t take long for me to arrive at the location with a small contingent of my own men, and the rest of the Alphas were already there waiting for me. We nodded silently to each other in greeting as I gave the signal to move and we burst forth into the clearing they had been camping in, like a tidal wave of fur and fury. They were tak
