Maya’s Point of View

“Alpha!! I bring bad news”

As I stood before Kaiden in the grand council room, I poured every ounce of effort into my performance. My voice quivered at just the right moments, my hands trembled as I gestured to the blood-stained dress, and my eyes brimmed with unshed tears. I painted the picture vividly: the rogues, their brutality, my futile fight to protect Avery against herself but had no choice than t kill her.

But Kaiden... his reaction wasn’t what I expected.

He leaned back in his chair, his expression unreadable, arms crossed over his broad chest as if he were watching a tedious play. He didn’t interrupt, didn’t ask questions, didn’t even narrow his eyes in concern. He just sat there, his gaze cold and distant, as though my words were nothing more than white noise.

My heart thudded painfully as doubt began to creep in. Why wasn’t he reacting? Why wasn’t he furious, commanding his warriors to act, to hunt down the rogues who had dared step foot in his pack?

    Maya’s Point of ViewThe moment I stepped into my room, I bolted the door behind me and leaned against it, my breath shallow and ragged. My reflection in the mirror was unrecognizable, pale, shaken, and drenched in fear.I sank to the floor, burying my face in my trembling hands. If Kaiden found out the truth, then it was over. Everything I had worked for, everything I had schemed for, it would all crumble, leaving me at his mercy. And Kaiden had no mercy for traitors.I couldn’t let that happen.By nightfall, a plan had formed, though the thought of executing it churned my stomach. Dren needed to be silenced, and there was only one way to get to him, through the dungeon guard.The filthy bastard.I dressed simply, a dark cloak covering my figure as I made my way to the dungeon. The night air was cold, biting against my skin, but it wasn’t enough to numb the dread gnawing at my insides.The guard’s quarters were dimly lit, the flickering light of a single bulb casting long shadows acr

  • Bound To The Cursed Alpha King    56~ One Down

    Maya’s Point of ViewThe day I had dreaded more than any other had finally arrived. The air in the pack’s hall was heavy, almost suffocating, as I stood among the crowd of pack members, my heart hammering in my chest. My hands were clammy, my palms slick with sweat, and I found myself constantly wiping them against the folds of my dress.Kaiden had called for a public gathering, a rare and significant event. This wasn’t just another meeting; it was the day he had promised to root out the traitor. A cold shiver ran down my spine. I could feel eyes shifting in the crowd, whispers brushing against my ears like ghostly accusations.When the grand doors opened and Kaiden stepped into the hall, the atmosphere shifted instantly. The Alpha King’s presence demanded obedience, reverence. Everyone, myself included, stood and bowed deeply, murmuring, “Your Highness.”His power rolled off him in waves, so palpable it made the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end.He strode toward his throne a

  • Bound To The Cursed Alpha King    57~ Maya Has Made Her Move. Now It Was My Turn

    Kaiden’s Point of ViewAvery sat across from me, her fragile frame wrapped in a thick blanket, her pale skin glowing under the dim light of my chamber. To anyone else, she might have looked frail, but to me, she had never seemed more radiant. Her silken hair cascaded down her back like strands of starlight, tempting me to reach out and let my fingers tangle in its softness.But I held back.She wasn’t ready. She had yet to acknowledge me as her mate, and I didn’t want to do anything that might scare her away. So, instead, I clenched my fists and listened intently as she recounted her ordeal with the rogues, her voice soft but steady.The more she spoke, the harder it became to maintain my composure. The thought of anyone laying a hand on her made my blood boil. My wolf growled low in my chest, demanding retribution. But I forced myself to remain calm for her sake.“…and then I passed out, I don’t know what happened after that,” she finished, her hands trembling slightly as she rested

    Kaiden’s Point of ViewAs soon as Caspian and Laura left, the room felt quieter, almost too still. Avery shifted slightly in my lap, her movements hesitant, like she wasn’t sure if she should be there. Then, with a soft sigh, she tried to stand.I tightened my grip around her waist, gently pulling her back down. “Stay put, Snowy,” I murmured, my voice low but firm.Her body stiffened for a moment, but then she sighed again, this time in reluctant obedience. She settled back against me, though her posture was still a bit stiff. I smirked at how hard she was trying not to appear comfortable.After a moment, she turned her head to look up at me, her eyes filled with curiosity. “Why didn’t you just go after her?” she asked, her tone cautious but inquisitive. “You know she’s the culprit. Why not end it now?”I tilted my head slightly, studying her. The way she spoke, so earnestly, so unaware of the complexity of power and strategy, made her seem both naïve and endearing. I allowed a small

    Kaiden’s Point of ViewThe memory played vividly in my mind, starting with Avery. The moment I brought her home and laid her in my chambers, tending to her wounds, I knew I couldn’t delay. Once she was stable, I left her to rest and made my way to the dungeon.The rogue had been barely conscious when I arrived, his body slumped against the wall, his shoulders brutally disfigured where his arms had been severed. His blood had pooled beneath him, but his eyes still held a flicker of defiance.I stepped into the cell, my boots clicking against the stone floor as I approached him. He looked up at me, trying to muster a sneer, but his pain betrayed him.“Who sent you?” I asked, my tone calm, almost conversational.The rogue said nothing, his jaw tightening as if to steel himself against what was coming.I chuckled, low and dark. “It seems like you've forgotten who I am?” I leaned closer, locking eyes with him. “I am the Alpha King. I don’t need to try to get the information out of you. But

    Julian’s Point of ViewThe wind howled through the desolate fields, carrying with it the stench of death and decay that clung to everything like a curse. I stood in the heart of the devastation, my chest tightening as I looked at what remained of my once-thriving pack.The vibrant greenery that once symbolized life and strength was gone, replaced by charred earth and skeletal remains of trees. Every step I took on the scorched ground was a grim reminder of the destruction I had brought upon my people.The packhouses that had once stood tall, filled with laughter and warmth, were now nothing but crumbling ruins. Their walls, blackened by fire, seemed to mourn the lives lost within them. I walked through the remnants of what used to be home, my boots crunching against shards of glass and splinters of wood. The air was thick, suffocating, heavy with despair.“How did it come to this?” I murmured, my voice barely audible over the howling wind.‘You know how, Julian,’ Dexter growled in my

    Julian’s Point of ViewI couldn’t take it anymore. The sight of the ruins, the devastation, the ghosts of my mistakes, each one clawed at me, suffocating me with guilt. My legs felt like lead as I turned away from the shattered remnants of my pack and headed back to my house. The walk felt like an eternity, the silence deafening except for the whisper of the wind and the echoes of Dexter’s sharp words in my mind.By the time I reached the confines of my room, I was utterly drained. My body ached, not just from exhaustion but from the weight of everything pressing down on me. I sat heavily on the bed, my elbows resting on my knees as I buried my face in my hands. My mind wouldn’t stop spinning, replaying every decision, every failure, every face I’d lost.With a deep sigh, I lay back on the bed and closed my eyes, hoping for even a moment of peace.Minutes passed. Or maybe it was hours, I couldn’t tell anymore. I was teetering on the edge of unconsciousness when I felt the bed dip. M

    Sophia’s Point of ViewI stormed into my room, slamming the door behind me, the sound echoing through the silent hallway. My chest heaved with anger, my claws itching to tear something apart. Anything. Anyone.I sank onto the couch, burying my face in my hands as my mind raced. Ever since Avery left the pack, no, ever since she was forced to leave, Julian had been different. Distant. Cold. Detached. It was as though a part of him had been buried with her absence, leaving me to deal with the shell of the man I thought I knew.I clenched my fists, the sharp points of my nails pressing into my palms. I was strong, powerful, everything Avery had never been. She was a soft, fragile thing, barely able to hold her wolf together most of the time. Julian needed strength in his Luna, and I had given him that. I had worked for it, sacrificed for it, bled for it.And yet, even in death, she was coming between us.“Why?” I muttered to myself, my voice trembling with a mix of rage and disbelief. “

    Kaiden’s Point of ViewThe meeting had been dragging on for far too long.I leaned back in my chair, my fingers drumming against the polished wood of the table. My patience was wearing thin, and Dalton—gods, Dalton wouldn’t shut up about the new defense strategies he was proposing."We need to reinforce the eastern border," he was saying, his deep voice laced with caution. "There have been rumors of rogue movements……"I barely heard the rest.Beside him, Caspian sat with his usual calm demeanor, flipping through a list of names. "Five packs have broken the rules this month alone," he muttered, his tone exasperated. "Three failed to pay their tributes, one harbored a fugitive, and another had the audacity to….."I sighed, rolling my eyes. I don’t have time for this.All I wanted was to go back home.To her.To Avery.‘Since when has our well-behaved Alpha started behaving like a lovesick boy?’Slade’s amused voice rang through my head, and I groaned inwardly.‘Keep on teasing me, you o

    Avery’s Point of ViewThe house was too quiet.The kind of silence that made every creak of the floorboards sound like a whisper in the dark. The kind that pressed in on me, wrapping around me like a heavy cloak. I sighed, stretching my arms over my head as I lay on the plush couch, staring at the high ceiling. The chandelier above twinkled softly, casting golden patterns across the walls, but it didn’t make the emptiness feel any less suffocating.Kaiden had left earlier that morning, saying he needed to return to the pack to handle some things. “To avoid suspicion,” he had said. Right. As if anyone would suspect anything if he just stayed with me a little longer.I huffed, rolling onto my side and clutching a pillow.“How long does it take to handle pack matters, you jerk?” I muttered under my breath.I wasn’t even sure why I was so annoyed. It wasn’t like I wanted him around. Right?A name flickered in my mind like a whisper carried by the wind.Lynexia.I froze.That dream. The o

  • Bound To The Cursed Alpha King    73~ It's Time To Say Goodbye

    Maya’s Point of ViewNightfall had arrived, and with it came the final stage of my plan.I stood in front of my mirror, staring at the woman reflected back at me. A woman dressed to kill—literally.The dress I had chosen was black, silk-like liquid against my skin, hugging every curve in a way that screamed temptation. The plunging neckline barely covered my chest, and the high slit exposed a sinful amount of leg. Underneath, I wore nothing. Not a scrap of fabric. Just as he had requested.The fool.I reached for my most expensive perfume, the one that made men weak in the knees, and dabbed it along my pulse points—my neck, my wrists, the valley of my breasts. The intoxicating scent filled the room, wrapping around me like a seductive spell.One special thing about this perfume was that it didn’t just make men weak in the knees, it concealed my scent entirely. A rare, potent blend crafted from moonshade flowers and wolfsbane, designed to seal the wearer's natural smell. No wolf, no m

  • Bound To The Cursed Alpha King    72~ I Chose Kaiden

    Maya’s Point of ViewBut even as I stormed out of the Pack House, I could still feel the weight of his gaze on my back. And deep inside my mind, Cinder howled in anguish.‘I did the right thing’, I told myself. ‘I don’t need a mate. I already have everything I’ve ever wanted.’But as I walked, I noticed something.Footsteps.Soft but deliberate.I clenched my jaw, my wolf instincts prickling at the realization. He’s following me.I growled lowly, a warning. It wasn’t loud, but it was firm. A clear message: Stay away from me.Yet, the footsteps didn’t stop.I came to an abrupt halt, spinning on my heel. Sure enough, there he was, Lucas, standing a few feet away, his hazel eyes locked onto mine, an infuriatingly calm expression on his face.I narrowed my eyes. “Why are you following me?” I demanded, my voice sharp.Lucas only smiled. A small, knowing smirk that made my blood boil. “Nothing,” he said casually. “Just wanted to know my mate more.”I felt something inside me snap. My hands

    Maya’s Point of ViewI had to leave. I had to get away before my life spiraled further out of control.I took a step forward. Then another.But before I could take a third step, a strong hand shot out and grabbed my arm from behind, yanking me to a sudden halt.I gasped, spinning around, my eyes blazing with fury. “Who the hell……”My words died on my tongue when I locked eyes with him.A tall, broad-shouldered man stood in front of me. His build was strong, but he wasn’t as imposing as Kaiden. His skin was a smooth tan, his hair jet black and slightly tousled, and his piercing hazel eyes bore into mine with an intensity that sent an unexpected shiver through me. His chiseled jaw clenched, as if he was holding something back, and his breathing was slightly uneven.Then he spoke.“Mate.”A single word. One that made my entire world stop.My chest tightened. My heart pounded violently against my ribs. My vision blurred for a moment before I forced myself to focus.I took a sharp step ba

    Maya’s Point of ViewBy the time the sun began to set, I could no longer sit still. I needed to see Kaiden. He was the only one who could put an end to this if I played my cards right.I changed into a simple but elegant gown, one that showed just enough skin to remind Kaiden of what he was missing. Maybe, just maybe, I could charm my way back into his chambers. If he would only listen to me.The walk to the Pack House felt longer than usual. The guards stationed outside his chambers came into view as I turned the corner. Taking a deep breath, I straightened my posture and walked forward with confidence.But the moment I reached the entrance, the guards immediately crossed their spears in front of me, blocking my path.I frowned. “Step aside,” I ordered, my voice laced with authority.They didn’t budge.“Did you not hear me?” I snapped. “Move!”One of the guards, a tall man with a scar running down his cheek, stepped forward. “Miss Maya, you are not permitted to enter.”My patience

    Maya’s Point of ViewThe night was suffocating, thick with a silence that pressed against my ears like an unwelcome guest. Sleep evaded me, no matter how much I tossed and turned. My thoughts were haunted by Dren’s lifeless eyes and the lingering problem that was the dungeon guard.I knew it wasn’t over. His silence wasn’t guaranteed. He could talk, spill everything to Kaiden… and if that happened, I was as good as dead. Every time I closed my eyes, I could see Kaiden’s face contorted with rage, his piercing emerald eyes bearing down on me with betrayal.I sat up in bed, running a hand through my disheveled hair. My mind wouldn’t quiet down. Maybe some fresh air would help. I grabbed my shawl, wrapped it around my shoulders, and stepped out of the house.The night air was crisp, a slight chill biting at my skin. The moon hung low in the sky, casting a silver glow over the vast land surrounding the house. I wandered aimlessly, hoping the cool air would calm the storm brewing inside me.

    Avery’s Point of ViewHis words made me pause, my heart skipping a beat. There was something about the way he said it, the conviction in his voice, that made the air feel heavier. But it wasn’t just the words—it was his gaze. As he spoke, his eyes locked onto mine, and his intensity was almost too much to bear.I felt a chill run down my spine, the kind that was both unsettling and thrilling. For a moment, I swore he was trying to tell me something without saying it outright. But I quickly shook the thought away, laughing nervously to break the tension. “That’s… nice,” I said, trying to sound casual.He tilted his head slightly, still watching me, but he didn’t say anything else. Instead, he gestured toward the door. “Come on. You should rest.”We walked back into the house, and as I admired the grandeur once again, I couldn’t help but feel like I was stepping into a different world. The silence between us felt charged, as if there was something hanging in the air, but I didn’t dare p

    Avery’s Point of ViewSlade stepped back slightly, his powerful frame illuminated by the silver light of the moon. “Are you ready to go, Snowy?”I nodded, my heart steady now as I met his glowing eyes. “Ready.”Slade bent down on his massive legs, lowering his colossal frame. His glowing emerald eyes locked onto mine. "Hop on," he said, his deep voice vibrating through the air.I hesitated, looking at the sheer size of him. His back was broad and muscular, his jet-black fur glinting faintly under the moonlight. “You want me to… ride you?” I asked, my voice trembling slightly.Slade’s lips curled in what I could only describe as a wolfish smirk. “Yes, Snowy. Or would you prefer to walk?”I let out a nervous laugh, knowing full well that the woods were far too dangerous for me to trek on foot. Taking a deep breath, I grabbed onto his thick fur and hoisted myself onto his back. “If I fall and die, I’m haunting you,” I muttered.“You won’t fall,” Slade said confidently. “But hold on tight
