Break My Curse: Heart of The Lycan King Chapter 43
I had always admired Elijah’s easygoing nature. He was so different from Dalton in so many ways. Where Dalton was power and intensity embodied, with his muscular build and his rugged, intimidating persona, Elijah was softer, almost disarming. He reminded me of the boy next door, someone you could trust without thinking twice. He wasn’t imposing in the slightest, but there was something in the way he spoke to me, made me laugh, and went out of his way to make me feel at ease that made me want to be around him more.I tried to ignore the constant ache in my chest as I focused on the present. I had come here to learn about myself—to understand my wolf, how to shift, how to control this power I was still coming to terms with. It was the most important thing right now. Everything else, it seemed, had to come second.As I looked up at Elijah, he gently wiped a bit of sauce off my lips. His fingers lingered on my skin longer than necessary, and a flush crept up my neck. I tried to ignore the

I tried my best to keep my emotions in check, standing beside Elijah. I could see the discomfort in his eyes, though he was trying to mask it. I wanted to do something, anything, to ease the tension that hung between him and Dalton, but it seemed like I was in way over my head."If you want, I can clear up the misunderstanding with King Dalton," I offered, my voice quiet but sincere. "It was I who kept you busy with my silly stuff." I wasn’t sure why I was offering, but the air between Elijah and Dalton was thick with discomfort, and it made me feel like I had to do something.Elijah shook his head, a soft but firm smile playing on his lips. "There’s no need for that, really. It’s okay. I know Cal thinks well of me, and he has the right to be angry with me."I hesitated, unsure if I should push further. "Are you sure?""Yeah, you're getting too worked up," he reassured me, his tone light. But there was a sadness in his eyes that I couldn't ignore. I wanted to help him, but all I could

I stood there, frozen, my mind racing as I watched Dalton turn and start walking toward the car. For a brief moment, I was unsure of what was happening. “Huh?” I muttered under my breath, my confusion lingering in the air between us. But Dalton didn’t wait for me to catch up. Without so much as a glance back, he slid into the driver’s seat of the car that the driver had already brought out, as though expecting me to follow. I hesitated for a moment, trying to process everything that had just occurred. My thoughts were a blur, but something inside me urged me to move. I quickly descended the small flight of stairs, my heart pounding as I jogged to catch up with him. My feet felt unsteady, and I couldn’t help but notice the sleek, expensive cars parked in Dalton’s garage, each one shining under the dim light like a piece of art I had never once dreamed of owning. I arrived at the car, and Dalton didn’t even glance at me as he opened the door and slid into the driver’s seat. The silenc

I forced a smile as I tried to ignore the discomfort that gnawed at me while Dalton stood near the counter, absorbed in his own world. The awkwardness between us was palpable. The girls at the shop were still staring at him, their gazes full of admiration as though he were some untouchable prize, and it made me feel like an outsider. I couldn’t help but wonder if they saw me as nothing more than someone beneath him.“Please, if you need anything else, you can give me a call, and I will personally deliver whatever you want,” the shop owner said, her smile too sweet, too flirtatious.Dalton didn’t even spare her a glance. He was already walking away, as if he had no time for anyone but himself. He climbed into the car without a word, and I followed, hesitantly placing the gift-wrapped box onto my lap. This time, I didn’t want to risk another rough drive, so I decided to put my seatbelt on first. But as I fumbled with it, trying to lock it in place, it got stuck. Frustration bubbled up i

I’ve always loved the wilderness. There’s something about the solitude, the way the trees seem to whisper and the scent of fresh air that wraps around you like a comforting blanket. For years, I’d taken long walks, often choosing the longest route from school to the packhouse just to escape, to breathe, to be alone. It wasn’t just about the peace of nature—it was my way of avoiding Sid and his friends. Alone, I could hear my thoughts without the constant interruption of their voices.But walking with Dalton was different. As I trudged along beside him, something heavy settled in my chest. It was like he had this massive, invisible wall around him, and I was stuck on the other side. His presence was so imposing, so… distant, and I couldn’t shake the feeling of being more isolated than ever. My legs were already starting to ache. I had run a lot earlier that morning, and Dalton hadn’t given me a chance to rest before dragging me out into the woods. My muscles burned with exhaustion, bu

I couldn't help but giggle as Harry slipped his warm hand into mine, guiding me toward the entrance of the bar. The excitement bubbling inside me was hard to suppress. I had never been to a bar before, and though I wasn’t sure why Harry had brought me here, the energy of the place immediately intrigued me. People were chatting and laughing, the bass-heavy music reverberating through the walls, and I felt myself loosen up, just a little.As we approached the door, two large men stood guard—clearly the bouncers of the establishment. Harry leaned in, his voice barely a whisper as he mouthed, "Bouncers," and then pulled a mask from his jacket, handing it to me. I raised an eyebrow, unsure of the sudden necessity."I don't have one," I said, but Harry only grinned and slipped the pink mask into my hands."I've got you covered."I hesitated for a moment, but then smiled and put the mask on, stepping into the bar beside him. The moment I entered, I was struck by the electric atmosphere—the f

The room fell silent, all eyes shifting between me, Cynthia, and Aleksander. His expression revealed nothing as he considered my judgment."Mercy," he finally remarked, "can be mistaken for weakness.""True mercy requires greater strength than vengeance," I countered calmly. "To heal rather than destroy, to rebuild rather than discard—these are not the actions of the weak."Something flickered across his face—not quite approval, but perhaps reassessment. "The judgment seems... appropriate," he conceded. "Though I would add one condition."I raised an eyebrow, waiting."During her year of service, she will spend one month in my territory, assisting our healers with the spring birthing season. She will see firsthand how packs can differ yet still respect each other's ways."The proposal surprised me—it was both a punishment and an opportunity, a chance for Cynthia to expand her understanding beyond the narrow confines of her prejudice.I glanced at Dalton, who gave a subtle nod, then at

The formal welcoming ceremony for Aleksander's pack was a masterpiece of carefully orchestrated pageantry. Every detail had been planned to demonstrate our pack's strength while honoring our guests—a delicate balance struck between power and hospitality.I stood at Dalton's side before the great stone archway that marked the entrance to our central compound, dressed in ceremonial garments that blended traditional pack symbols with subtle elements that marked me as Dalton's mate. As promised, I wore no magical protection, though Dalton had insisted on having Eliza work subtle strengthening spells into the embroidery of my jacket—"Not protection," he'd argued when I'd raised an eyebrow, "just enhancement of your natural abilities. Even Aleksander can't object to that."The distant sound of drums announced the Winter's Edge pack's approach. They moved with military precision, Aleksander at their head, his tall figure imposing even at a distance. Behind him marched his highest-ranking pac

Victor's expression was stone. "Enough, Cynthia.""The matter will be settled according to both our packs' laws," I interjected, unwilling to see her executed despite everything she'd done. "As the wronged party, I'll have a say in her fate."Aleksander's eyebrows rose again. "Mercy from an omega. How... unexpected.""Justice," I corrected. "Not revenge. That's the difference between leadership and tyranny."Something flickered in his cold eyes—not warmth, exactly, but perhaps a reluctant reassessment. "We'll see if you maintain that philosophy after spending more time as an Alpha's mate." He gestured to his pack members. "We return to our camp. The formal meeting will proceed tomorrow as originally planned."As they turned to leave, Cynthia was firmly escorted between two of Aleksander's guards—clearly now his prisoner rather than his informant. She twisted to look back at me, her expression a complex mixture of hatred and fear."This isn't over," she hissed.I met her gaze steadily.

My stomach dropped at the sight of her. She looked different—her usual polished appearance replaced by something harder, her blonde hair pulled back severely, her posture rigid with purpose. Her eyes found mine immediately, a small, triumphant smile playing at the corners of her mouth.The two groups halted a respectful distance apart, the morning breeze carrying scents between us—the unfamiliar, pine-and-snow smell of the Winter's Edge pack mixing with our own forest-and-earth scent.Protocol dictated that as the junior Alpha's representative, I should speak first, acknowledging Aleksander's status and thanking him for agreeing to this meeting. But before I could open my mouth, Cynthia stepped forward."This is the one I told you about," she said to Aleksander, her voice carrying clearly across the clearing. "The omega who ensorcelled our Alpha."A ripple of tension went through my escort. Victor's hand twitched at his side, his expression unreadable as he watched his daughter.Aleks

As the room cleared, Dalton maintained his grip on me, silently indicating I should remain. Once we were alone, his carefully controlled expression cracked, revealing the turmoil beneath."You can't seriously be considering this," he said, his voice low and intense."It's our best option," I replied, trying to sound more confident than I felt. "If I face him directly, on my terms—""He could kill you," Dalton cut in harshly. "Do you understand that? This isn't just pack politics, Oliver. Aleksander considers omega males an abomination. In his territory, they don't survive presentation."I swallowed hard. "I know. But that's exactly why this might work. He's expecting me to be weak, to hide. If I show strength—""He might respect it," Dalton acknowledged reluctantly. "Or he might see it as a challenge to his worldview that must be eliminated."I stepped closer, placing my free hand against his chest, feeling the strong, rapid beat of his heart. "Then we make sure elimination isn't an o

"Aleksander's pack approaches," Dalton began once we were seated, Dalton at the head of the table and me to his right. "And Cynthia has fled, likely to join them with false accusations against my mate.""False according to whom?" Victor challenged, his voice tight with barely controlled rage. "My daughter has served this pack loyally for years. She was raised to be your mate, to stand at your side as Alpha female. Instead, you publicly humiliate her for—" His eyes flicked dismissively toward me, "—this."A low growl rumbled from Dalton's chest, a sound that made the hairs on my neck stand on end. "Choose your next words carefully, Victor."The older wolf didn't back down. "The pack has a right to question your judgment in this matter. Aleksander certainly will.""My judgment is sound," Dalton replied, his voice dangerously even. "And your daughter attempted to kill my claimed mate. She's lucky exile is all she faces."Murmurs spread around the table at this. Exile was one of the harsh

Chapter"To check my injuries," I explained. "And to warn me about Aleksander."Dalton's expression darkened. "What exactly did she say?""That sometimes love isn't enough. That it takes strategy, too." I moved to the window, looking out at the pack grounds bathed in the day's fading light. Members were already moving with purpose, responding to what must have been Matteo's alerts. "She's right, Dalton. If we face Aleksander head-on about this, we risk everything—the alliance, the pack's safety, your authority.""What are you suggesting?" His voice was cautious.I turned back to him, an idea forming—one I wasn't sure I had the courage to voice. "What if... what if Aleksander doesn't see me as your mate when he arrives?"Dalton's eyes narrowed. "Absolutely not. I won't hide you, Oliver. I won't pretend our bond doesn't exist.""Not forever," I clarified quickly. "Just until the alliance is secured. Until we can find a way to introduce the idea more... gradually.""Deception isn't my wa

He turned to me, his golden eyes fierce. "Their opinions don't matter. I am the Alpha.""But their cooperation does matter," I pointed out gently. "Especially with the Northern Alliance meeting coming up."Dalton's expression darkened. "Matteo told you.""Cynthia did, actually," I corrected. "Right before she tried to cut my throat with a piece of broken glass."He winced, setting down the plate he'd been holding and moving closer to me. His hands came to rest on my shoulders, thumbs brushing against the fabric of my borrowed shirt."I should have told you," he admitted, his voice dropping. "I just... I didn't want to taint what we have with pack politics. Not yet."I leaned into his touch despite myself. "I need to know what we're facing, Dalton. All of it."He sighed, then nodded toward the dining table. "Let's eat. This conversation requires sustenance."We settled at the table, the domesticity of sharing a meal together still novel enough to send a ripple of warmth through me desp

I spent the rest of the day in a state of anxious anticipation. After cleaning up the broken glass and attending to my bruises—which were already fading thanks to my werewolf healing—Dalton had reluctantly left to deal with Cynthia and inform the pack council about the incident. He'd been hesitant to leave me alone again, but I insisted. I needed time to process everything that had happened.The Northern Alliance. The treaty negotiations. The fact that our relationship might trigger political consequences I hadn't even considered when I'd surrendered to the bliss of our claiming.I paced the length of Dalton's quarters—our quarters—trying to organize my thoughts. The initial euphoria of being chosen, of finally belonging, had been tempered by the harsh reality of what our union might cost the pack. Cost Dalton.A knock at the door interrupted my spiraling thoughts."Come in," I called, half-expecting it to be Dalton returning.Instead, Eliza—the pack's healer and one of the few who ha
