Avery’s Point of View

After that night, my life grew from bad to worse. I've lost count of times I cried myself to sleep or the number of times I almost bled to death.

“Argh!!” A soul wrenching scream suddenly split out of my mouth as I dropped the glass I was holding and fell to the floor in a heap.

My loins was on fire, I cried out painfully, the pain spreading through every veins in my body and I instantly knew that Julian was with Sophia again.

This was the pain he was talking about, the reason he did not let me accept the rejection. He tortured me on a daily basis, I was in constant pains because of him. He knew I was going to be in pains if he was with another woman aside from me.

What have I done to deserve this?! Other werewolves are happy with their mates, but why is mine different?!

The pain gradually subside after what felt like hours, and I weakly dragged myself from the ground. I pack the pieces of the broken cup and was about to leave the kitchen when Sophia walked in.

Immediately her eyes sighted me, she smirked as she said, “Bitch, how does it feel? How does it feel to know that your mate is busy getting pleasure from me while you, his supposed mate is wallowing in pain?”

“My, my, Avery,” Sophia’s voice was a soft, mocking coo as she stepped closer. “Does it hurt? Knowing he’s with me? That he only looks at you with disgust while he can’t stay away from me?” Her smile was small, almost sweet, her tone dripping with false sympathy. “Some people just aren’t worthy of a mate, you know? And we both know that’s you.”

I wasn't going to let her get to me, I simply ignored her and made to step out through the door, when she roughly shoved me backwards, because I could make out what was happening, she slapped me across the face.

“When I ask a question, you answer, bitch!!” She sneered as she eyed me mockingly. Just then footsteps sounded down the hallway, Sophia smirked and dragged me up.

I stared at her confusedly, then she grabbed a knife, cut herself deeply and fell on the floor. I gasped loudly and before I could think of a way out.

Julian walked through the kitchen door and Sophia burst into tears at the sight of him, that was when everything dawned at me….. She set me up.

Before I could explain, Julian moved in close to me and gripped my neck tightly and slammed me hard against the wall, I felt air knocked out of my lungs.

This isn’t a mate, I thought, panic clawing up my throat as he held me there. He’s a monster… And I can't believe that I was paired with him.

I couldn't breath, I dug my nails into his arms but he didn't fret, just when I thought it was over, he dropped me roughly to the floor.

I coughed violently as I held my neck, and as if he hasn't punished me enough for a crime I knew nothing of, he ordered the guards to take me to the dungeon.

“Give her 120 lashes of the silver whip, no food nor water for 3 days”, he coldly ordered as he stared at me with disgust. I was tired of begging, too weak to do anything as I was dragged away to the dungeon.

The air in the dungeon was thick, damp, and rank with the scent of mildew and stale blood. I could feel it settling in my lungs, suffocating, mixing with the metallic tang of fear that clawed its way up my throat.

I was forced to my kneels and water was poured all over me, two guards stood over me, each holding a silver whip.

The first lash landed on my back and I could feel fire burning on the mark left by the whip. My whole body system lost coordination. I felt all the sickness in the world coursing through my veins. Another lash landed on my back when I still had no hope of recovering from the first.

1…. 2….. 3…….. 4……

I counted the lashes silently, finding strength in the rhythm.

It kept on going, my skin burning as each lash met with my back but I refused to show any sign of weakness. I refused to cry as I forced back the tears in. I would not give them the satisfaction of seeing me break.

As each lash met with my back, I swore to make Julian and Sophia pay.

They would pay for every single blood and tears that I shed. I wasn't going to die now. Never!!! I'll be alive and watch them kneel and beg for death, but they won't get it. Death would be too easy for them.

“Jeezzz! How can someone be flogged with a silver whip and shows no reaction?” I heard one of the guards wondered.

When the guards finally released me, I slumped forward, the pain a deep, throbbing ache that spread through every limb. They left me in the cell, and I crawled into a corner, my back screaming with each movement. I let myself breathe, let the anger settle, and pushed back the tears. This wasn’t the end. I’d make sure of that.

I need to leave.

Hours later—or what felt like hours—a guard approached. “The alpha wants you in his study.” His words were cold, and I could feel the malice in his gaze as he dragged me out of the cell.

I was dragged to his room, immediately his eyes landed on me, I saw them darken with lust.

Beast. I sneered as I stared at him with contempt.

“Strip,” Julian ordered, his voice low and full of twisted amusement, eyes raking over me like I was nothing.

Wait… What?!

“Don't make me repeat myself slave! Strip!!” He growled in warning. When I hesitated, his lips curled into a cruel smile.

“Oh! You want it the hard way right?! You’re nothing more than a disobedient pet, Avery. Maybe I need to remind you who’s in charge.” He sneered as he stepped closer to me, I couldn’t let this monster touch me. My hand slipped into my pocket, fingers curling around the syringe I’d hidden earlier. Without hesitation, I drove it into his neck, injecting the Wolfsbane.

Julian stumbled back in shock as he held his neck. His eyes widened in shock, his arrogance fading as he slumped to the floor. “What… did you do…?”

“Wolfsbane, not just any wolfsbane but the Violet Monkshood Wolfsbane”, I replied as it was now my turn to smirk.

His eyes widened in shock but he was too weak to do anything.

“I would rather die than have a shame of a wolf like you touch me!” I sneered. “Now, I'll finish what you started”, Understanding what I wanted to do, he could only watch as the Wolfsbane has completely weakened both him and his wolf.

“I, Avery Smith, accept the rejection of Julian Styles, Alpha of Krypta Clan as his mate and Luna”

The words left my lips with a fierce finality, and as they hung in the air, a shiver ran down my spine. It was as if an invisible thread that had bound me to him snapped in a sudden, icy release. I could feel the bond dissolve, a rush of relief flooding my chest, mingled with an ache I hadn't expected. The weight I’d carried was gone, and in its place was a strange, hollow lightness. I was free.

Just then, a painful howl tore through his lips, Julian’s howl of agony filled the room, raw and fractured, as he thrashed weakly on the floor, trying in vain to reach for me. I could hear footsteps rushing down the hall, growing louder with every second. With one last look at the pitiful figure on the floor, I turned and sprinted toward the window. I jumped out not minding it's height from the ground.

Then I ran, I ran with everything in me and never looked back.

  • Bound To The Cursed Alpha King    05~ Mine

    Avery's Point of View I ran, each step pounding against the earth beneath me as my heart thudded wildly in my chest. The night air bit at my skin, icy and sharp, and each breath burned as I pushed myself forward. The distant howl of a wolf rose from somewhere behind me, and fear clawed at my insides. But I didn’t stop. I couldn’t.The forest opened up before me, shadows twisting in the moonlight as branches snagged at my clothes and scratched my skin. But I welcomed the sting; it was a reminder that I was finally free. I chanced one last look over my shoulder, and in that fleeting moment, felt a flicker of hope. I would keep running, no matter how far, no matter how long—anything was better than being a prisoner in Julian’s pack.I had managed to leave the pack's territory and was running towards the borders when I suddenly looked over my shoulder. The dark shapes of the warriors closing in sent a shiver down my spine.“There she is!!” One of the pack warriors shouted, with my life v

  • Bound To The Cursed Alpha King    06~ It's Really Her

    Kaiden’s Point of View Standing behind my desk in the study and going through the pack's report. Though my body was here, my mind clearly wasn't, as finding my mate was the only thought that clouded my mind.Just as I was scanning through the files, Slade became restless and agitated all of a sudden, I could feel him pacing round my head and it was giving me a headache.Even though Slade is very active at night, he has never been this agitated before and that was giving me great concern.“Slade, what's wrong?” I asked as I momentarily abandoned the files. I can attend to them later.“I don't know but I feel that something or someone is coming. But I can't tell what it is,” he replied as he continued pacing, this time around, more fierce that I had to hold onto the nearest wall for support.“Calm down buddy, are you planning to kill me?” I cussed as I held onto my throbbing head.“Sorry but we need to go out there, Kaiden. I have a feeling that we're both going to regret it, if we don

    Kaiden's Point of View“What's wrong with mate?” Did we scare her that much?” Slade asked with worry laced in his voice, already feeling dejected.I sighed as I stared at her lean figure, and my eyes hardened immediately I set eyes on the bruises on her body. I felt like destroying something.I could feel my body trembling, but I was forced to control myself due to the fact that I was holding my mate between my hands……. After all these years.“Let’s mark mate!” Slade demanded impatiently.“Slade! Keep your wolf urges down. How can you think of marking her in this state?” I snapped, my teeth gritting together.“But we’ve waited so long for her. Now that we’ve found her, what are we waiting for?” His voice strained as he fought to gain control, but I pushed him back, using every ounce of my will to hold him at bay.“I understand your frustration, Slade. I bear this curse too. Our mate is currently in a bad state, if we attempt to mark her now that she's in this shape, she's bound to die

    Kaiden's Point of View“Caspian, there's someone important that you need to meet,” I said immediately the mind link connected.“How important is this person that you had to wake me up in the middle of the night, Kaiden?” I could already picture the dissatisfied look on his face, he was obviously with his mate but who cares? I just found mine tonight, so I should be the impatient one here.“You only have ten minutes to get here, Caspian,” I said with an eye roll, the only person I’m a little bit free with is my Beta, Caspain.“Alright Alpha, expect me in the next ten minutes, he replied and I disconnected the mind link.I sat down beside her and continued staring at her, she has been through a lot and I will make sure to protect her with my life. She deserves happiness and that I would give to her.I couldn’t help but reach out, brushing a stray strand of hair from her face. The warmth of her skin reassured me, a reminder that she was here, with me, but the lack of movement was unsettli

    Kaiden's Point of View“Your Highness, she’s awake.”Lewis’s voice broke through the chaos of the pack’s training field. The words slammed into me, and for a moment, I felt as though the ground beneath me had disappeared. My body froze, but my mind exploded with emotions—excitement, hope, and a desperate, gnawing need to see her.But another feeling was stronger.Fear.It clawed at my chest, sharp and unrelenting. Would she hate me? Reject me? Slade growled low in my mind, urging me forward. His voice was a mixture of impatience and longing, like a caged beast desperate for release.“Go!” he barked.With his speed coursing through me, I was standing in front of my bedroom door within seconds. My hand hovered over the knob, trembling slightly as I took a deep breath. Even from the other side of the door, I could feel her presence—fragile, yet powerful. The air around me seemed thicker, almost electric.I stepped inside, and there she was.Sitting upright on the bed, her small frame loo

    Kaiden's Point of ViewMy eyes turned bloodshot immediately after he said that. I felt my blood boil, I turned sharply to him and said “What did you just say?”“I meant no harm Alpha, but I feel like that’s the best decision right now”, he replied with a shaking voice.“And what gave you the right to decide for me!!” I roared as I held him up by the mate. Though he’s my Beta and close friend, there were limits to it.“How dare you suggest separating me from my mate!” Slade’s authority infused my voice, and Caspian winced under the weight of the Alpha command.“I’m sorry, Alpha. That’s not my intention,” he stammered.“Then what is your intention?” I demanded, my voice low but no less menacing.“She fears you, Kaiden. If you don’t step back, you’ll lose her completely.,” He stated, “Give her space. Let her see you’re not the monster she fears.”With steady breaths, I released, finally getting his point but the thought of being apart from my mate was driving me nuts.“Once Lewis finishe

    Julian's Point of View“You all are just a bunch of useless fools!” I growled as I smashed my cup to the floor. “You call yourselves the pack’s best scouts and trackers, yet you can’t find a wounded and almost lifeless Omega!!” I roared as anger consumed me.“We are so sorry Alpha, but she vanished into the Silver Abyss, we couldn’t follow her there without risking our lives”, their leader, Scott responded.“Then so be it!! If your heads are the price for me to get Avery black here in the pack, then it’s worth it” I declared.“But…..”, I interrupted him with a cold glare. “No buts, my words are final, gather your men and find her, don’t come back here without her”, I stated with a note of finality.“Yes, Alpha, let’s go,” Scott said to his men before they left my office. The moment the door clicked shut, I collapsed to the floor, clutching my chest as an unbearable pain surged through me. My breaths came in sharp gasps, the ache refusing to subside.Why does it hurt this much?I’ve se

    Julian's Point of View "My decisions are none of your business. You stay out of my affairs,” I said coldly, my voice sharp enough to cut glass. Sophia’s eyes widened in disbelief, but the fury in them didn’t waver. “*None of my business*? I’m your Luna! I’m going to be the mother of your future pups! Why are you still going after that useless Avery? She’s of no use to you, Julian! That’s why you rejected her and chose me over her,” she spat, her tone shrill and accusatory. The room seemed to grow colder. Her words ignited something in me—a spark that erupted into a roaring inferno. My fists clenched, and my vision blurred with rage. “Chose you?” I growled, my voice low and dangerous as I took a menacing step toward her. “Do you think I chose you?” Sophia flinched but tried to hold her ground. “Yes, you did! You rejected Avery because she’s weak! I’m the one who—” Before she could finish, I lunged forward, my hand wrapping around her throat in a vice-like grip. Her eyes went

  • Bound To The Cursed Alpha King    91~ I'll Never Stop Wanting You

    Kaiden’s Point Of ViewBlood dripped from my fingertips, soaking into the grass beneath me. I didn’t even remember when I did it. Didn’t even feel it when my claws tore into my own flesh. I only knew one thing, I’d rather die than be the one to hurt my mate.The pain, the self-inflicted wounds, were nothing compared to the war raging inside me. I had thought that staying away would keep her safe. That keeping my distance would be enough. But the bond… The fucking bond. It refused to be ignored.I had pushed. It had pulled. I had fought. It had clawed back. Now here I was, slumped against a tree, my breathing ragged, my vision blurred.Weak.Pathetic.I closed my eyes, but then a scent… Her scent. It crashed into me like a tidal wave, invading every cell in my body.Fresh roses… soft and delicate.Vanilla… warm and intoxicating.And something else… Almond, honey, and wild fruits.A scent so uniquely hers, so dangerously addictive that it made my pulse skitter. Slade, stirred. His restl

    Avery’s Point Of ViewWould he feel the bond now, the same way I did?Would he be searching for me, too?The idea sent my pulse racing, my heart hammering wildly in my chest. I had to try… I had to do something.The pull was unrelenting. I didn’t know where I was going, but I trusted it. I trusted the bond. I stepped outside, the night air cool against my skin, and for a moment, I hesitated at the entrance of the house.This was reckless.This was dangerous.I should have stayed inside, should have thought this through, should have done anything but this. But… I needed to find him. My heart pounded with every step I took, my feet carrying me forward as if they already knew where to go. I didn’t question it. I just followed.The pull was faint at first, like a whisper in my veins, a tug in my chest that urged me forward.And then it intensified. The further I walked, the stronger it became, until it was an undeniable force, guiding me into the heart of the forest.The towering trees st

  • Bound To The Cursed Alpha King    89~ I'm Still Useless To You, Avery

    Avery’s Point Of ViewMy breath caught. A memory flashed… The vision… The pain… The wolf… The word that had left my lips. Mate. I gasped.And the voice finally spoke the words that shattered my reality.‘I am your wolf, Avery.’‘I’m Lynexia.’ The room spun. I staggered back, my breath hitching, my hands trembling.My wolf?No. No, that was impossible. I had never… I never shifted. I had lived my entire life believing I was nothing.But this… This wasn’t normal. I could hear her… Feel her. Like a second heartbeat inside of me. A part of me. My head spun, the walls around me seeming to close in."You’re lying," I rasped, shaking my head violently. "This can’t be true—this can’t—"‘It is true,’ Lynexia cut me off. Her voice was calm, but there was something beneath it… something ancient. Something powerful.‘You are not just human, Avery.’I clenched my fists, trying to breathe. Trying to think. Trying to understand. But it was too much. Too damn much. "You’re wrong," I whispered. "You h

    Avery’s Point Of ViewI was still pressed against the wall, my body trembling, my breath shallow. My lips were swollen from his kisses, my skin hot from his touch.But it wasn’t just the way he had touched me. It wasn’t just the way his lips had devoured mine, the way his hands had explored every inch of my skin, leaving behind a trail of fire.It was what he had done.He marked me.A shiver ran down my spine, my fingers instinctively brushing over the tender skin of my neck.The bite was still fresh.The tingling sensation it left behind was impossible to ignore.But… why?I wasn’t his mate.I had known that from the very beginning.So why would he mark me?Did he finally accept me as his chosen mate? Did he want me as his Luna? My heart pounded in my chest at the thought, my fingers tightening over the mark. Then why did he run? The question hit me like a slap, knocking the breath from my lungs.Had he regretted it? Had he finally realized what a mistake it was? Had he finally reali

My hands were still shaking as I ripped my teeth from her skin, staggering back.Avery collapsed against the wall, dizzy, breathless.Her violet eyes searched mine, dazed, confused."Kaiden?" she whispered, her voice weak.I stared at her, at the mark on her neck… At the faint trickle of blood. And all I could see was her lifeless body, drowning in red, cold blood.My chest tightened.My breath hitched.No. No, no, no."I… I have to go," I choked out, stumbling backward."Kaiden, wait…"I didn’t.I turned and ran.Away from her.Away from the vision that haunted me.Away from the terrifying truth that hit me like a dagger to the chest. If I stayed with her… if I let this fire consume me… I would be the one to destroy her. And that was a fate worse than death.My breath came in ragged

  • Bound To The Cursed Alpha King    86~ The Haunting Vision

    Kaiden’s Point Of ViewThe past week had been absolute torture.Avery was safe now. Alive, healed. But… she was different. More reserved, more cautious, as if she was still processing everything that had happened. She barely spoke unless spoken to, barely smiled—and it drove me insane. I wanted her to talk, to laugh, to argue, to be the fierce, defiant Avery that I knew.But what killed me the most? She barely noticed me. And the worst part? I was still on heat. And having her near me only made it worse.Every single time I caught her scent, that intoxicating, irresistible scent of wild roses, vanilla, and honey, it made my body burn.Every single time she brushed past me, I had to clench my fists, dig my nails into my palm to stop myself from grabbing her. From claiming her.I was in my room now, sitting on the edge of my bed, breathing heavily. Sweat dripped down my forehead, soaking my shirt. My entire body felt like it was on fire. And Slade, the damn wolf, wasn’t making things any

  • Bound To The Cursed Alpha King    85~ They Were Part Of The Reasons I Was Cursed

    Kaiden’s Point Of ViewI barely had time to process what was happening.Avery’s glowing eyes, that blinding, otherworldly light were still locked on me, her body trembling with raw power. And then, before I could even think, before I could even breathe, Slade responded.His voice, deep, guttural, possessive shook through my very soul."MINE!"A wave of invisible force exploded through the room. The very walls of the house shuddered. The windows cracked. The air was charged, electric, humming with an overwhelming energy.But then, just as suddenly as it had come, the light vanished. Avery’s body collapsed against me, her frame trembling violently. I caught her just in time, holding her as she shook uncontrollably in my arms.Her body spasmed, her breath ragged, her limbs convulsing like she was fighting something inside her.I panicked.“Avery!”Her hands clawed at my shirt, her fingers curling into the fabric as if she were afraid I would disappear. And then, as abruptly as it started

  • Bound To The Cursed Alpha King    Could It Be Her Wolf?

    Kaiden’s Point Of ViewI was in my office, deep in thoughts when I felt something sharp in my chest. The moment the pain struck, it was like a blade piercing straight through my chest.I staggered, clutching my shirt as my heart lurched violently, my breath coming out in short gasps. This pain, I knew it. I had felt it before.This only meant one thing.“Avery,” I whispered, my voice barely audible, yet filled with dread.Inside me, Slade stirred restlessly.‘Mate is in danger.’ His voice was a deep, guttural growl, filled with urgency. “Kaiden, quick. We need to get to her. Now.”I didn’t need to be told twice. Everything else faded. The documents on my desk? Forgotten. The business meeting I was supposed to attend in an hour? Irrelevant. The entire world? It no longer mattered.All that mattered was her.With a speed I didn’t even know I possessed, I burst out of my office, ignoring the startled looks from my warriors as I tore through the hallway. I shifted the moment my boots hit

  • Bound To The Cursed Alpha King    83~ Visiting The Dark Conclave

    Narrator’s Point Of View“Kaiden is not like his ancestors,” she continued, her voice carrying across the chamber. “He has fought for Aethoria time and time again. He has bled for it. He has given his life to protect the land we built, the people we swore to defend! And now, when he needs us the most, you all turn your backs on him?”The gods shifted uncomfortably, some looking away, others staring at her with impassive expressions.Hera leaned forward on her throne, her golden eyes locked onto Selene. “And what of the girl?” she asked. “You say he is the guardian, that he has the responsibility to bear the weight of Aethoria. But his mate…” She tilted her head. “She has not awakened, has she?”Selene hesitated for a fraction of a second.Hera’s lips curled.“Then she is the weak link,” Hera stated coldly. “The Dark Conclave knows this. That is why they targeted her. And yet you ask us to help a guardian who cannot even protect his own mate?”Selene’s eyes flared, but before she could
