Cursed to be my Mate Confessions in the Night
~ Rhys ~ Holding Amira in his arms, Rhys stroked the top of her head, frowning as she clutched to him, appearing so vulnerable. He could see why. They’d shared another dream. A nightmare. A memory. One Rhys knew she wasn’t aware of his presence. He forced himself awake after the crowds cheered in happiness for Alpha Dashiell’s beheading. The dream was gut-wrenching and full of horrors that such a young child had to witness. It was no wonder Amira was the way she was. Rhys could hear and see everything as Amira did. Even Alpha Dashiell’s voice was in her mind as it went blank between her memories. Now he rocked her back and forth, growing used to seeing his body and cuddling it to calm her erratic breathing and silent tears. Nobody should see the king in such a way. Fortunately, Amira wasn’t loud in her nightmares. Approaching the guards in Amira’s nightgown made it easy to slip into his quarters. Rhys shook his head. His hand stroked back the damp hairs from her face. Who was he
Cursed to be my Mate Shift in the Air
~ Rhys ~The following day, Rhys and Amira were once again in the library, this time using his father’s study. The curtains had been pulled back, and the place had been cleaned with fresh air pouring in from the window to get rid of the last of the dust. Rhys never expected it to be so ready to be used, but Amira had been one step ahead before their shared nightmare. Amira chose not to occupy the desk space, even though it would have been acceptable. Rhys could sense her thoughtfulness as she refrained from using his late father's spot to review documents. Instead, she sat at the armchairs beside the fireplace, looking through the diaries and scrolls Rhys provided her in the hopes of discovering what happened all those years ago. While Amira was absorbed in the contents of the parchments, Rhys would watch her. He couldn’t help but be lost in thought. The night before caused a shift between them. It wasn’t obvious, but he couldn’t stop himself from acting… nicer towards her, and she
Cursed to be my Mate Means to an End
~ Rhys ~Rhys cocked his head to the side as he assessed Eden. She was always a means to an end, but had he really found her attractive? Especially with such a sour expression on her face right now. What issue did she have with Amira?Eden's gaze travelled from the top to the bottom of his frame, her face twisted with loathing, and her lips grew tighter as she appraised him. A low growl rumbled in his throat, both himself and Nisha. How dare she glower at Amira like this. Eden’s eyes snapped to his, widening slightly after hearing his response to her analysis of Amira’s body.With a sharp smile, Rhys asked, “And who might you be? You don’t look like one of the maids. Are you lost?”Eden crossed her arms against her chest. “Who am I? Who are you?!” Stepping closer to Rhys, Nisha made herself known, lunging forward against the forefront of Rhys’ mind for a moment in a warning. His red eye glimmered more, and the green one matched the other. Eden stepped back, startled, satisfying Nisha
Cursed to be my Mate Enjoyment at his expense
~ Rhys ~ After changing into a nightie, Rhys was ordered to lie on the bed and get comfortable. He wasn’t used to being ordered by anyone. But the king let it slide as he did exactly as he was told, propping up pillows behind him as Amira went to and from the water closet. On her return, there was a bowl with a mixture he couldn’t identify the contents of and some thin paper-type strips. “Lie flatter and bend one of your legs,” Amira instructed and rolled her eyes when Rhys obviously didn’t bend his knee as she meant. Her instructions weren’t that obvious! “Rhys, you need to remove your underwear. I have seen my own pussy, you know.” Oh. Rhys removed the underwear, watching Amira as he did, and bent his leg again. Amira placed the contents on the bedside table and moved Rhys’ leg so his foot was on the inside of his thigh. “Stay like that no matter what,” Amira affirmed before placing a wooden spatula on the inside of his thighs, spreading the warm contents along the hair there.
Cursed to be my Mate Street Rat
After stepping out of the carriage, Amira didn’t waste any time entering the less fortunate areas of towns. They were there to monitor if her orders were followed. Nobody besides Bash and Baltir, who accompanied them, knew of their departure from the palace walls. At first, Rhys struggled to keep up. He was grimacing and moving oddly in his breeches from the pain of the previous night’s waxing session. Bash and Baltir asked him about his strange behaviour, but there was no way he would tell them about it! Amira snickered from up front; fortunately, she remained quiet even after Bash insisted she told him. Instead, she ran off ahead. Amira navigated through the narrow streets and back alleys swiftly, leading them through shortcuts and taking them to secure spots where they could get great views of everyone without being seen. Rhys watched himself, crouched behind an unused guard tower, one that should have been in use. But it wasn’t. “How many times have you used this?” Rhys questi
Cursed to be my Mate A Feast with Pack Members
Walking side by side, Amira and Rhys were dressed for an evening with the pack members not on duty. Amira was surprisingly nervous. She looked like the king but was not. This was going to be harder than before. Already, she could feel the vibrations of those inside the hall, their voices rowdy and boisterous, with a similar atmosphere to the rogues. Yet, Amira felt there was more pressure to be Rhys now. With the council members and servants, it was easy because they didn’t know their Alpha King well; they only knew of his and Demon’s fierce reputation. That was why Baltir and Bash caught on that something wasn’t right with their friend. Now she was entering a hall full of pack members who were probably tight with their king. From how they looked at her earlier, that made it pretty obvious. “You’ll be fine,” Rhys assured her, sliding his hand into the crook of her arm. Amira looked down at him, shocked he was playing the part of a lady. She wanted to shake him off because if she was
Cursed to be my Mate Intimacy (1)
Amira slouched into her chair, her mind reeling as Rhys continued to greet and talk to other pack members. She could tell he was in his element and truly happy to see each and every one of them coming up to him. Unlike Amira, he didn’t have a moment to comprehend the sudden change.What caused them to return to their bodies?Amira really wanted to question the Moon Goddess. Were there rules they had to abide by? Or was it something straightforward she was looking past? Artemis told them there were consequences to their actions. So far, they had been helping each other, and through sharing some of their past with each other, they had grown somewhat closer. They were in this together, and if they couldn’t look out for each other, then it would be a struggle. Having Bash and Baltir aware of their situation also helped.“Have you lost your appetite?” Rhys questioned, leaning closer to Amira once the others left. “Or is it the corset?”Amira stared back at the king, shocked at the concer
Cursed to be my Mate Intimacy (2)
Three days passed, and there was no body switch. Amira and Rhys mostly remained by each other’s side, just in case. More rumours spread about how the Alpha King seemed lovestruck by the alluring and beautiful Amira. Servants and nobles gossiped about the pair spending most of their time together. Rhys held Amira’s hand whenever they were strolling through the corridors. Again, Amira was distrustful and suspicious of the act because she noticed how others would see their hand-holding and whispering among themselves. But whenever they were alone, nothing else seemed to matter.It was mostly Rhys working and asking Amira for advice on issues within the kingdom. He listened to her and even followed through with some of her ideas. Even if Rhys was using her, Amira didn’t mind at that point. Power was never Amira’s end goal; she just wanted justice and a fairer world than the one she’d grown up in. Amira didn’t mind staying by Rhys’ side and collaborating together to help improve the king

Cursed to be my Mate Epilogue
Xenos was executed within a week of returning to the palace. Amira was there but didn’t watch the execution after it reminded her of her fathers. The weight Amira had been carrying around lifted even at the expense of Zayyan’s father’s death. Zayyan wasn’t there to witness it due to the new position he held as the only leader of the rogues. Alpha Dashiell’s name was also cleared, and his name and pack reinstated, though there was none to accept it besides the last living pack member, Amira Desai, their Luna and Alpha Queen. The land that had been abandoned and weakened the kingdom since was given to the next Desai heir- Amira- who wanted to give it to Zayyan. Her cousin refused the offer and remained in the Wildlands, not wholly trusting the government or the rogues and remaining neutral within the ongoing politics. After Amira’s coronation and introduction to the kingdom as their new Queen, the rules were established for packs and rogues to coexist peacefully. Zayyan ensured his p
Cursed to be my Mate Chaotic (2)
On the other side of everybody fighting and almost finishing their fight because of the lack of numbers or will to continue hurting and killing each other, Amira flung one of her blades at Xenos’ face.Xenos blocked with his metal-cuffed arm and grinned as it bounced off. “Cheap shot, Amira.” He jumped forward and kicked through her blocked arms and square in the chest. Air rushed out of her lungs while her body flew back; instead of falling to the ground, though, Amira pushed off with her hand and flipped back until she was on her feet once more. Amira dusted her shirt down casually. She was in her usual black assassin attire today, minus the mask and cloak, but her black leather corset was thicker, more like a layer of armour. That kick still hurt, though, and she knew there would be a bruise. “I didn’t think you still had any moves, Xenos,” she grinned, pulling two daggers from within her sleeves and prowling forward.“Watch it, kid,” Xenos warned, green eyes so similar to her fat

“Not a chance,” Xenos sneered and signalled for those behind him to attack. Amira’s eyes widened. She didn’t expect him to use them. Their numbers were so much lower than theirs.‘Well, should have expected that,’ Nisha commented.Frowning, Amira took a step in Xenos’ direction, but something flashed out of the corner of her eye. She turned her head and blocked an air assault by none other than Nova. At the same time, Caz had attacked Rhys. “Shit,” Amira growled, glancing at her uncle, who began stepping backwards as his men charged forward. “I didn’t want this!”She didn’t want them fighting among themselves. Asking Xenos to fight was the perfect chance for her revenge and to stop what was now happening!“Sorry, Mira!” Nova attacked again, slicing her claws towards Amira’s face. But she was far too slow for Amira. “Is there a reason you are trying to kill me?” Amira asked in a bored tone as she blocked another strike from she-wolf and uppercut her chin. Nova stumbled backwards afte
Cursed to be my Mate For The People
At the Alpha King’s words, the rogues turned to face him. All were shocked to see Rhys there. Even those who didn’t know what he looked like could tell who he was from the power emanating from him. Some wanted to bow their heads in submission to him even though they were rogues.“I am Alpha King Rhys Quintrell,” Rhys announced. Some of his guards remained behind him, looking onward like they weren’t in enemy territory. “And this is not a trap. I do not have an army outside these doors nor wish to destroy you all. Amira is my mate. What she says is true. I want to improve our land, how people live, the system that cruelly acts against rogues…” Rhys walked forward, and the crowd, in their shock, surprisingly parted ways for him. Amira shared a glance with Zayyan when her mate walked past Caz, who pushed Nova from him and stepped towards the Alpha King. But another rogue held him back. Caz growled, trying to get out of his hold. Everyone knew about Caz and Amira’s past relationship. C
Cursed to be my Mate The Wildlands
Amira hadn’t thought about the Wildlands since she’d been body-swapping with Rhys and stayed in the palace. Of course, she thought of the people, but she didn’t think ahead when she would return to the place she’d once called home. Now, some of her memories felt a little tarnished, a bit icky because of how she came to be with her uncle. Now, after a few days of travelling, they were almost in town. The building where the guild was located stood out the most compared to the other structures. Or perhaps it only stood out to Amira because it was where she grew up. Amira’s little party mainly were on horseback, except for a few who remained in their wolf form. They weren’t a large group. That would mean getting spotted quicker.They weren’t large, but everyone was a skilled fighter. Rhys was beside her as well, wearing his usual expensive outfits. She didn’t want him to dress down, not now when she needed to convince others that they were working together. That was the priority of the
Cursed to be my Mate You're Not Alone Anymore
The meeting was tenser than Amira had anticipated. Yet, through the mate bond, Amira could sense Rhys held no hatred towards Zayyan. After spending time in Amira’s body, he saw Zayyan as a close friend already, but her cousin had no idea about their body switching. To him, this had been the first time they’d officially met.Alpha Evander had also been extremely grumpy throughout their meeting. Once they came to a resolution, which didn’t take much, the hybrid was first to leave. Elixora would distribute to everyone, not just the rich, and the rebels who had overthrown Willowbrook would remain in charge under Zayyan’s care. Amira didn’t trust anyone else. Alpha Evander agreed that his pack would back off, but if there was any foul play, then they would step in and take it back. Although Evander was eager to leave and find his mate, he took the meeting seriously. It still involved his pack, and although he looked fierce and icy, the Alpha cared for his pack members. Not just his pack m
Cursed to be my Mate Betrayal (2)
“Amira? What’s wrong?” His voice hardened, glancing behind her. “Come inside. We’ll talk there.”Amira nodded once and followed. “Zev, stay outside,” she ordered nonchalantly.“I’m afraid I can’t do that, Luna,” Zev replied, and his words made her freeze. Zayyan stopped walking, and he looked over his shoulder at her wide-eyed.“Luna?”Amira cocked an eyebrow. “Like I said. Much to discuss. Sure thing, Zev. Come in. But everyone else stays outside.” She’d prefer Bash, but this would put Zev’s trustworthiness to the test. Would he tell others what was discussed between Amira and Zayyan before the meeting?The door closed behind them, and Amira went straight to the sofa, eyes flicking across the room as was her usual routine in any room. Zev did the same, but he was her guard. Flopping down on the sofa, Amira waited for Zayyan to join her. She felt impatient, needing to know if he had been deceiving her, yet at the same time, she wanted to keep this comforting illusion up a while longer
Cursed to be my Mate Betrayal (1)
Slamming the journal shut, Amira glanced at the door after Beta Baltir announced Zayyan’s arrival at the palace through a mind link. Her mind still spun with the information she just learned from the journal. It had everything, every little detail about what happened. The later entries revealed the King’s regret and his attempts to find Amira to give her the life that was taken away from her. Theon knew this would never make up for his rash decisions, the loss of the lives of his closest friend and a powerful pack that guarded the kingdom well. But he couldn’t let his friend’s daughter die on the streets. Obviously, Amira was never caught. She thought everyone was out to kill her and remained well-hidden until she made it to the rebels. ‘Where is Zayyan?’ Amira mind linked the Beta back, rage swarming her chest and tightening her stomach until it felt sick. ‘Where is my cousin?’ she almost spat. Her claws started growing, and she had to breathe slowly to return them to normal. ‘He
Cursed to be my Mate No Excuse
The moment Rhys felt pain shoot through the bond, he left the old goats to their fighting and sprinted in his mate’s direction. Amira was injured?! And inside the palace where she should be safe!The pack mind link was loud, the urgency in his pack member’s voices cutting straight through his mind. They knew Amira had been attacked? He hadn’t crowned her yet; how did they know they had a Luna and Queen? Obviously, they’d met her at the banquet, but he hadn’t officially introduced her as such yet. No, something happened earlier. Rhys remembered this mechanism that seemed to click into place. A tension that nobody had been aware of within the pack faded away, and now he knew it was because Amira had joined them. They knew their Queen had arrived and were rushing to her side.He’d entered the library to discover Amira fought an assassin and was interrogating him, not at all bothered by the state of her right side. Blood was seeping through the side of her torso. For a brief moment, Rhys
