Break My Curse: Heart of The Lycan King Chapter 15
The luxurious room around me did little to soothe the storm in my chest. Plush carpets muffled every sound, fine furniture gleamed under the soft lighting, and the scent of roses drifted in from the open window. A massive wardrobe loomed to my left, its golden knobs glinting like taunts. To my right, the garden sprawled—a masterpiece of nature and man. Flowers spilled over stone pathways, fountains sang their gentle tunes, and gazebos stood like promises of peace. Peace. I didn’t feel it here. This wasn’t a sanctuary. It was a cage. A beautiful, gilded prison built by the Lycan King himself. Dalton. My fingers brushed over my lips as the memory of his kiss resurfaced, unbidden and unwelcome. A hot flush of shame and fury burned my cheeks. I clenched my fists, pushing the thought aside. That man had no right to take what wasn’t his, yet his presence lingered in my mind like a shadow. The knock at the door startled me. “May I come in?” Maria’s gentle voice called through t

The rich aroma of roasted chicken wafted through the grand dining hall, but my appetite wasn’t enough to silence the whirlwind in my mind. Dalton—*King* Dalton—the most powerful and feared Lycan I’d ever encountered, was dying. Drusilla had said it so casually, as though it were just another piece of gossip, but the weight of her words clung to me. He seemed so indomitable, a force of nature that could crush anything in his path. Yet now, she claimed he was wasting away, cursed. And somehow, I was supposed to save him. The absurdity of it all made my stomach churn, and I stared at the elaborate patterns on the tablecloth, letting the opulence around me blur into insignificance. My thoughts spiraled until a soft knock interrupted them. “Miss Drusilla, Miss Olivia, lunch is ready to be served,” announced a maid, bowing gracefully. Drusilla’s warm hand slipped into mine, pulling me from my trance. “We can discuss this later,” she said with a bright smile, tugging me toward the

Drusilla rose from her chair with determined energy, her sudden grip on my hand startling me. “Where are you taking me?” I asked, my voice sharp with suspicion. She turned, flashing a grin so mischievous it made me uneasy. “To see Dalton. I don’t want him thinking I’m making his *precious girl* do all the work. You better let him know this is your idea.” I froze at her words. *Precious girl?* The phrase caught me off guard, sending a ripple of confusion through me. Dalton, the ruthless Lycan king, thought *what* about me? “But isn’t he in a meeting?” I asked, hoping she’d reconsider. Drusilla waved her hand dismissively, her golden hair bouncing as she shook her head. “Nothing’s more important than this. Honestly, have you seen this place? It’s dull and lifeless. This event will bring some excitement back to the mansion!” I tried to pull back as she tugged me along the endless hallways, my feet dragging. Then I glanced down at myself and felt heat flood my cheeks. I was sti

The meeting dragged on like an endless river, and I, Dalton, sat at the head of the conference table, fully aware of my need to stay present, despite every part of me wishing to escape. The voices of the alphas around me droned on, rising and falling like the ebb and flow of an ocean, but my attention was distant. I sat, stoic and composed, my fingers idly twirling a paperweight as I listened to them—each one trying to outdo the other with their urgent reports.“King Dalton,” one of them began hesitantly, breaking the silence that had settled over the room, “the smaller packs are growing restless after the last rogue attack. The news has spread across the kingdom like wildfire.”I kept my gaze steady, detached. It wasn’t the first time I’d heard this, but it still piqued my interest. "And what, exactly, are they doing about it?" I asked, my voice as sharp as my focus.Another alpha, eager to get his point across, leaned forward. “Rumor has it the rogues are using threats to coerce the

I stood there, watching her without a sound, as Olivia hummed softly to herself, lost in her own world. She didn’t notice me, standing just a few feet away, studying her every move. Her focus was entirely on adjusting the towel on her head, wrapping it with an almost carefree grace. There was something about her, something undeniably alluring, even in her innocence. She looked so... unburdened, and I couldn’t help but admire her, despite myself.The way she moved, the way the towel clung to her figure, stirred something deep within me. My Lycan stirred restlessly, as if it too was drawn to her energy, to her warmth. A strange tension grew in my chest as I felt the pulse of desire, of something raw, something almost primal, rise within me. She was oblivious to my gaze, absorbed in the rhythm of her own thoughts, the hum of the song she had locked away in her memory.I watched as she moved closer to the mirror, her radiant presence almost glowing under the sunlight that filtered in from

I had just stepped out of the shower, feeling a sense of renewal I hadn’t experienced in far too long. The warm water had washed away the exhaustion that had weighed on me for months. I couldn’t remember the last time I had the luxury of truly feeling clean or refreshed, not since the time when I was just an omega in my own pack.As I danced around the room, humming a soft tune to myself, the music swirled in my head, and for the first time in ages, I felt free. It was rare for me to have a moment like this—one where I wasn’t burdened by fear, by expectations, or by the weight of my past. The rhythmic sway of my body felt natural, like a release. I had no one to answer to, no one watching me. Or so I thought.I froze the moment I caught sight of him. King Dalton stood just a few feet away, watching me. His gaze was intense, almost as if he was studying every movement I made. His golden eyes locked with mine, and in an instant, I could feel the heat of his stare searing into me.I had

I stared blankly at the door as it clicked shut behind Dalton. His footsteps echoed down the hall, growing quieter until they vanished completely. I sank back onto the bed, lost in thought, my mind a whirlwind of conflicting emotions. That conversation with him—if I could even call it a conversation—lingered in the air like a heavy fog. I couldn’t stop replaying it, the story he’d told, and the strange weight of his words. He had been so careful with his delivery, subtle yet powerful. It wasn’t just a story—it was a message, a warning wrapped in a tale of a cub in the woods. It made me wonder if there was more to it. He had caught me once, when I was weak, terrified, vulnerable—just like that cub he’d described. And just like the cub, maybe he had plans for me once I was healthy. Maybe he intended to fatten me up, make me comfortable, and when I was at my strongest, sacrifice me in some way. The thought made my stomach churn, a cold shiver running down my spine. But I couldn’t affor

I stood frozen, my heart sinking as I watched Cynthia cling to Dalton. Her hand held his with such familiarity, and every inch of their proximity seemed to burn with a painful intensity. It stung more than I cared to admit, the way her chest brushed against his and the way she gazed up at him with such clear expectation. My mind couldn’t help but imagine them together in ways I wasn’t ready to face—intimately involved. The memory of my coffee mishap earlier felt all too real in the wake of this moment.I tried to push those feelings down, tried to remind myself of who Dalton was—the Lycan King, still searching for his fated mate or chosen one. He was free to pursue whoever he wished, even if it crushed me to witness it.Finally, Dalton pulled his hand free from Cynthia’s grasp, his voice cool. “We will see, Cynthia. Now, I have a few more meetings to attend.”Cynthia pouted, though the expression quickly shifted into a bright, cheerful smile. “You work so much, Dalton. Don’t forget to

The tension in the dining hall was suffocating. Silence stretched, thick with shock and unspoken words. Cynthia’s face was frozen in disbelief, her lips parting as if to argue, but no sound came out.The entire pack had turned their attention to Dalton, waiting for his reaction. But he didn’t even spare Cynthia a glance.His golden eyes locked onto mine.Dalton exhaled sharply, the sound slicing through the tension. Then, with slow, deliberate movements, he pushed back his chair and stood. The scrape of wood against stone echoed in the vast hall.I braced myself, expecting his rejection. This was a public moment—there was no way he would choose me over Cynthia, over tradition.But then he spoke."I should have done this a long time ago."Cynthia sucked in a breath, her composure cracking. She reached for him in desperation, her fingers curling around his wrist. “Dalton, don’t—”He turned on her, his voice laced with finality. “Enough, Cynthia.”The authority in his tone sent a ripple

Cynthia’s laughter rang out like delicate chimes, blending with the soft click of her stilettos as she walked beside Dalton. She wore a flowing gown with a daring slit, exuding effortless confidence, while Dalton kept to his usual laid-back style—his maroon shirt fitted snugly against his frame, the sleeves rolled up as if he had just finished something that required his hands.Then, as if to twist the knife deeper, Cynthia reached for his arm, her fingers curling around his elbow with practiced familiarity.I clenched my jaw, forcing myself to suppress the sharp sting of jealousy creeping through my veins."I told you that would happen," she teased, her voice dripping with amusement. "But you’re just too stubborn to listen."Dalton chuckled, a low, careless sound. "Can’t help it."Cynthia moved even closer, taking his hand in both of hers. "Well, at least your knuckles aren’t bloodied anymore." Her fingers lightly traced the back of his hand, a gesture that made something dark and ug

The usual sharp scent of shower gels and soaps didn’t overwhelm me this time. It was strange, but in a good way. The absence of that sharp sting to my senses felt liberating as I peeled off my clothes and turned on the shower, letting the warm water cascade over my skin.Steam curled around me, wrapping me in a comforting embrace. I stood there for a moment, letting the heat sink into my muscles, soothing the exhaustion clinging to my bones. It felt indulgent—taking my time, not rushing through, simply allowing myself to be.Reaching for the bottle of shower gel, I studied it for a second before flipping the cap open and inhaling the fragrance. Strong, floral, and fresh. Would Thunder hate this? Probably. But she hadn’t stirred, hadn’t complained. Maybe she needed the rest. Maybe I needed this too.A slow smile tugged at my lips as I squeezed the gel onto my loofah, working up a thick lather. The scent lingered as I ran the sponge across my skin, scrubbing away the fatigue, the tensio

The night air was thick with the lingering scent of burnt herbs and melted wax. I stood still, watching Drusilla as she busied herself gathering the remnants of her ritual—half-melted candles, scattered herbs, and delicate threads of incense curling into the night. Earlier, she had been a bundle of nerves, her hands trembling as she worked, but now she moved with a quiet confidence. A soft hum left her lips as she tucked away the last of her tools, her posture lighter, almost relieved.Dalton flexed his fingers, his gaze locked onto his hand where I had made the incision. The cut had sealed without a trace, as if it had never been there. Even the wisp that had appeared during the ritual had faded into nothingness.I glanced down at my own wrist. No mark. No sign that anything had changed.Dalton broke the silence. “Are you sure it worked?” His voice was flat, but there was an edge of skepticism beneath it as he rolled his sleeves back down.Drusilla nodded, exhaling. “The wisp showed

The air felt heavier than before, thick with the scent of damp stone and candle wax. My breath was slow and measured, but my heartbeat was anything but calm.Dalton stood opposite me, his golden eyes fixed on mine, unwavering and unreadable. The weight of his gaze pressed down on me, as if he were silently asking me if I truly understood what we were about to do. I wasn’t sure if I did.Drusilla moved with practiced ease, setting out her ritual tools with careful precision. She knelt near the base of the stone statue, her hands deftly pulling out an aged, leather-bound book from her bag. She flipped through its brittle, yellowed pages, muttering under her breath.“Okay,” she finally spoke, glancing up at us. “Both of you, stand right here.” She pointed at a spot directly in front of the statue.I swallowed and stepped forward, the chill of the underground chamber seeping into my skin. Dalton let out a quiet sigh but followed suit, his movements slow, deliberate.Drusilla’s fingers tra

My gaze lingered on Dalton for a moment too long before Drusilla suddenly latched onto my wrist, her grip firm and urgent.“Come on,” she huffed, practically dragging me away.I stumbled slightly, trying to keep up. “Where are we going?”Drusilla didn’t even look back. She snatched a set of car keys from the office table and shot me a pointed look. “Do you think we’re performing the ritual in an office? Seriously?”Before I could respond, she flicked my forehead—hard enough to make me wince. “Ow,” I muttered, rubbing the sore spot.“Stop whining and walk faster.” She pulled me down the stairs with surprising strength, leading me straight to the garage.With a press of a button, the heavy metal door rumbled open, revealing a row of sleek, luxurious cars, each one polished to perfection under the fluorescent lights.Drusilla turned to me with an exaggerated flourish. “Well? Feeling fancy today?”I glanced at the cars, their glossy exteriors reflecting the dim garage lighting. I wasn’t e

Drusilla turned sharply, her usually composed expression slipping as frustration bled into her tone.“Do you not understand? She’s our only chance! You lost control once—just once—and look at the damage you caused.”Dalton’s jaw tightened. His response was immediate, sharp. “Exactly. I am the problem. I should be the one taking the risks. Not her. Not anyone else.”The room felt like a battlefield, their voices clashing as they circled the same argument. No matter how fiercely Drusilla tried to make him see reason, Dalton rejected every word.And I—silent, watching—stood between them, feeling torn. Drusilla’s concern for Dalton was clear, but what surprised me was that he cared about me. He wasn’t selfish enough to let me risk myself just because his life was hanging in the balance. That meant something.Drusilla exhaled sharply, forcing patience. “You don’t understand, Cal. The Rogue King’s influence is growing stronger. Yesterday, it was just the servants and maids who saw your outb

I hated the way Dalton always had such firm control over himself. I hated how, even in the heat of the moment, when his lips were on mine and his hands traced fire along my skin, he could pull away like it was nothing.I despised the way hunger burned in his gaze only to vanish in an instant, replaced by something calmer—something controlled. How could he rein himself in so effortlessly while I was barely holding myself together?If it were me, I wouldn’t have been able to think about anything else except the way his lips molded against mine, the way his hands claimed me, the way his presence ignited something deep within me.But Dalton?He stepped away with infuriating ease, as if what had just happened between us was nothing. His movements were deliberate, composed—grabbing a towel as if he needed to busy his hands with something mundane rather than acknowledge what had just transpired.I exhaled, steadying my breath, trying to do the same. I straightened my clothes, ran my fingers

The hunger in his gaze was unmistakable. A raw, insatiable need burned in his eyes, and I knew—I felt—that I was the only one who could satisfy it.And I was ready.The moment his lips crashed against mine, it was like a spark igniting a wildfire, consuming everything in its path. His kiss wasn’t soft or careful—it was fierce, unrelenting, like he was staking his claim on me. His hands gripped my waist, pulling me flush against his hard body as heat surged through me, making my skin tingle and my breath hitch.I melted into him, my body thrumming with electricity, every nerve alive and aching for more. Only he could do this to me. Only Dalton could awaken this fire inside me, a fire that had been smoldering, waiting for him to ignite it.His hands traced the curve of my back, branding me with his touch. His lips moved with a desperate urgency, parting mine, his tongue sweeping inside, tangling with mine in a battle of dominance. A sharp gasp left me as he nipped at my bottom lip, the
