A Deal With The Cursed Alpha 10. Agreement.
Eira’s PovHeat rushed to my face, but I forced myself to stand tall. “Not as your wife in the sentimental sense,” I clarified. “A political alliance. Kieran won’t let me go easily, but if I become yours, he’ll have no choice but to step back. Marrying me means taking something from him. Something he considers his.”Magnus was silent, his gaze flickering with something unreadable.Then he leaned in, his voice dropping to a dangerous whisper. “Tell me, Eira… do you think you’re worth enough to make me risk my interests? Why should I dirty my hands to spite Kieran?”I searched for an answer, my mind racing, trying to come up with the best reason. Although I had said I was going to offer myself to him, that wasn’t a good enough reason for him to help me.“Just like I thought.” He muttered. “You didn’t get a reason from Kieran. He made the mistake of not telling you something that would make me agree to fake helping you. I’m not someone you can take advantage of, and I will not believe th
Last Updated : 2025-01-30A Deal With The Cursed Alpha 11. Meeting Eira
Magnus’s POV "Have a nice stay here, Alpha Magnus. We will talk about the reason you are here tomorrow," Kieran said, his brows furrowing. The same excuse. Again. It had been a full week since I arrived, and every time I pushed for details about the business deal, he conveniently found a way to delay the discussion. Pathetic. "You’re not the one who came up with the idea, are you?" I questioned, my voice laced with disinterest, though my eyes stayed sharp on him. I wasn’t letting him walk away without an answer this time. "You’ve been stalling since I got here, and frankly, it’s getting embarrassing." His brows knitted together. "There is a reason for everything," he muttered, but his expression gave him away—disgust, irritation, and something else. Guilt, perhaps? Leaning back against the cold wall, I crossed my arms. His inabil
Last Updated : 2025-01-31A Deal With The Cursed Alpha 12. Vanished Ringings
Magnus’s POVAs soon as her body hit mine, her scent filled my nostrils. That same familiar scent that sent a wave of calmness through me.She was Kieran’s Luna? What was she doing here? Didn’t that bastard say she was out?I knew he was lying—I had seen her by the window when I first arrived. Still, I almost believed him since I hadn’t seen her for a week. She was always around Kieran.Just then, I felt a faint tremble in her frame. Fear.Interesting.The guard hesitated when he saw me. “Sir? Alpha Magnus?” His voice held a hint of uncertainty.I let out an annoyed sigh. “Am I not allowed to take a walk without being disturbed?”The guard stiffened. “I—I didn’t realize it was you, sir. I thought someone was sneaking into the mansion.” His gaze flickered to the woman in my arms, and understanding dawned in his eyes. “My apologies! I’ll leave you be.”“Get out,” I ordered flatly.“Right away! I’ll leave at once. Enjoy your evening, Alpha.” He hurried away without another word.The mome
Last Updated : 2025-02-01A Deal With The Cursed Alpha 13. Fiona
Eira’s POVAlthough I had the amulet, sneaking into Kieran’s room to get the hair was a problem. There was no way I was going back into that building without severing the mate bond.There was a high chance I would bump into Kieran or Vanessa if I entered the main building.He must still be outside, given that Magnus had left the building. And I couldn’t let him see the amulet either. If he did, he might take it away from me.It was then that I remembered Fiona. She must still be waiting for me outside—I had forgotten about her. Natalie was still in my room, and I needed to act fast before we got caught.Sprinting toward the other garden at the annex, I tried my best to keep my footsteps light and soft. I wasn’t ready to give away my location.A few minutes later, I stopped at the edge of the annex garden, pressing myself against the shadowed side of the stone wall. My heart pounded against my ribs as I scanned the area. The moon cast a pale glow over the garden, making the blue flower
Last Updated : 2025-02-02A Deal With The Cursed Alpha 14. Broken Bond
Eira’s Pov“She ran into Vanessa?” I questioned, concern filling me like a hole.Heart beating hard in my chest, I tried to think of ways to help her if she was caught taking Kieran's hair. Going back into that house was something I wouldn’t want to do, but given the fact that Fiona was there, I had no choice but to.“It wasn’t like she was caught by Vanessa,” Natalie added, making me raise my head to look at her.My brows furrowed at her words. If nothing happened to Fiona, why was Natalie here in her stead?“I brought the hair of the Alpha,” Natalie said, reaching into her pocket and pulling out a handful of hair. “Fiona said she might be late, and you can do what you need to do before she arrives.”Seeing the size of the hair she brought, my eyes widened in shock. I just needed something like a strand, but they got more than necessary. It must have been taken from his comb.Kieran has a habit of leaving combs and brushes with his hair on them.Taking the hair from her, I glanced at

Eira’s PovA sharp, throbbing pain pulsed in my skull as I stirred, my body heavy and unresponsive. The air was cold—too cold—and the scent of damp earth filled my senses.My fingers twitched, brushing against something soft. A blanket? No. Grass.I forced my eyes open, wincing against the pale light filtering through the trees. My limbs felt like lead, my breath coming in slow, shallow pulls.For a moment, I didn’t remember what had happened. Then it all crashed down on me.All that happened filled my head. The rejection. The pain. The emptiness.I sucked in a sharp breath, my hand instinctively reaching for my chest, but the unbearable agony from before had faded into a dull, hollow ache.Kieran was truly gone. The bond that had once pulsed between us, warm and unshakable, was nothing more than a memory.A rustling sound snapped me out of my daze. I turned my head weakly, and my heart jumped when I saw Fiona kneeling beside me, her brows drawn together in worry.“You are awake,” she
Last Updated : 2025-02-06A Deal With The Cursed Alpha 16. Missing Luna
Eira’s POVMy eyes widened in shock as I glanced at her, unable to believe what I had just heard. Did she just call me Eira?Wasn’t she not supposed to recognize me?Did that mean my appearance hadn’t changed at all? But Kieran didn’t recognize me. How could she be the one to do so?“You don’t have to say anything,” Fiona said before I could form a proper response. “I know everything about you.” She mumbled, “And I happen to know the size of your wrist and body, too. You can explain what happened while you were left alone. For now, I’ll take you to Alpha Magnus. It seems to me that you have a better plan.”My lips parted as I tried to speak, but I shut my mouth immediately. There was nothing I could tell her yet—I couldn’t risk someone overhearing. It was better to talk to her later.A few minutes later, she dropped me off in front of a door, which I could tell led to Magnus' room. Bowing her head, she turned around and left before I could even speak.Forcing myself not to call her ba
Last Updated : 2025-02-09A Deal With The Cursed Alpha 17. Breakfast Invitation
Magnus’s POVA soft snore caught my ears, and I slowly turned to look at the woman lying across from me on the couch. Was she asleep already?Getting off the bed, I dropped the facade of sleeping and headed for the window. Outside, I could see guards patrolling the place—tons of them.I hadn’t mentioned to Eira that Kieran would feel the bond shatter, leaving him clueless about how it broke. He must be feeling a sense of loss right now, and it was quite entertaining to think of him searching for a Luna he wouldn’t even recognize when they met again.Finally, something interesting was happening to me.Now that she was with me, there was no longer a need to deal with Kieran. Since the business was originally her idea, I could work with her directly instead of going through him. He handled the business exchanges even though he had no real understanding of the idea.Being his foolish self, he had also cheated on the perfect woman he could have had by his side. It wasn’t surprising that he

A Deal With The Cursed Alpha 20. Leaving The Pack
Eira’s POVA gasp escaped my lips, and my eyes widened in shock. I hadn’t expected him to get violent so suddenly.Magnus tightened his grip, his voice a deadly whisper. “You don’t get to tell me when to stop.”Kieran clawed at Magnus’ wrist, his face turning red from the pressure. Magnus leaned in, his eyes burning with rage.“If Eira isn’t here by tomorrow, safe and unharmed, I will burn this entire pack to the ground. Do you understand me?”Kieran gasped for air, nodding frantically.Magnus released him, letting him collapse onto the table, coughing and wheezing. Then, without sparing another glance, Magnus turned to Vanessa.“You should pray your child isn’t a boy,” he said darkly. “Because if he inherits his father’s weakness, he won’t survive long.”With that, he straightened his coat, casting one last disgusted look at the two of them before turning to me.Holding out his hand, he waited for me to take it. “Let’s go. We are leaving this pack for now.”Raising my head, I took hi
A Deal With The Cursed Alpha 19. Angry Kieran
Eira’s POVAs soon as the words rolled off Magnus' lips, Vanessa flinched, her eyes widening in shock. She looked as if she had been shot.Kieran didn’t look good, either. His face was stunned, clearly not expecting something like that.“Are you going to say some greetings, or…?” Magnus asked, intentionally trailing off to give them a chance to respond to the question he had just asked.I peered at the two of them, waiting for their reaction. Magnus had asked about me, and I wanted to hear what excuse Kieran would give for my disappearance.He hadn’t told Magnus about me vanishing yesterday, and I was sure he wouldn’t do so now, either.“The Luna isn’t back yet,” Kieran muttered, looking like he had regained his composure.I listened, waiting for him to give whatever excuse he had prepared, but he hesitated, his brows furrowing as he tried to fake sadness.“She got caught up in a rogue attack and is injured. She won’t be here until she’s fully healed,” he added, making me flinch. My e
A Deal With The Cursed Alpha 18. Dining Room
Eira’s POV“Get up and get dressed,” he said, rising to his feet, an expressionless look etched on his face. “It’s 11 a.m. There’s a dress for you in the wardrobe. Change into it. We’re joining Kieran for breakfast.”Those words made me freeze. Having breakfast with Kieran again was a nightmare I didn’t want to relive. He would be dining with Vanessa, and facing both of them was the last thing I wanted.It would be even harder to face Vanessa—she was the main reason I had been locked up in the first place.“Is that really necessary?” I asked Magnus, hoping he’d say no. But he shook his head, watching me with a hint of suspicion.His expression seemed to ask, ‘Are you sure you can handle this when you're still terrified of facing him?’“Yes,” he replied. “It is. We’re still leaving today, though.”Without giving me a chance to argue, he headed for the door. “I’ll be waiting outside. Be quick.”With that, the door slammed shut, and his scent lingered in the room. Why did it feel even he
