~ Amira ~

Demon's unwavering gaze fixated on Amira, causing a subtle unease to creep over her. If she were to admit, it also stirred a warmth within her under such an intense gaze. This was a dream, though. Even if he tried something, it wouldn’t hurt.

And why wouldn’t he try anything? Admittedly, she was his mate, but she couldn't ignore the fact that she had once attempted to kill him, spread damaging rumours about the Alpha King, and engaged in questionable actions before this whole body-swap malarky.

That didn’t stop Amira from tilting her chin up slightly, meeting this wolf’s gaze, and raising her hand to his face. At the touch of his soft fur on the side of his face, Demon’s eyes widened slightly, and his lips lowered, hiding his teeth before closing his eyes and leaning into Amira’s touch. Her lips parted in shock as this ferocious beast that many feared was allowing her to pet the side of his face.

Was she in her dream, or was this a dream state where she was meeting Rhys’ wo

    ~ Rhys ~After organising the distribution of medicines and securing the city, making sure any casualties were sorted, Rhys settled down in one of the rooms in the Gilded Fur Lodge. He didn’t expect the rebels to aid others in the city. They’d issued orders to those living in Willowbrook that they may stay but will be ruled by the rebels.It was mainly to assert dominance over the guards and pack members of Alpha Evander’s pack, the Eternal Moon. They allowed others to leave if they wished, but many were unsure of what to do. Rhys had also been watching the citizens of Willowbrook, aware of their wealthy status. Many nobles and wealthy werewolves inhabited Willowbrook. The grounds and housing were to a pristine finish without any rubbish or muck on the ground or homeless sleeping on the streets.Rhys wondered, now that the rebels had taken over Willowbrook, what it would look like after. He’d only investigated the towns they’d taken over from a distance but was not aware of how they m

    ~ Rhys ~Rhys swiftly followed Oclan through the opulent walls of the Gilded Fur Lodge. He wasn’t amazed by the furniture, the pleasant smells and the crystal chandeliers like some of the other rogues. Though he saw a few grumbling about it and the fire in their eyes burning brighter than before.Once they made it to the breakfast bar, Zayyan marched over to Rhys. There were others in the room, but it looked as though they were the same rogues that seemed to always accompany Zayyan and Amira.“Any updates?” Rhys asked quietly, glancing at the other werewolves. Unlike Oclan, they did not shift on their feet or seem nervous. Zayyan probably already briefed them.“As you predicted, Alpha Evander retaliated quickly. The Alpha and his pack travelled overnight and have probably surrounded the place by now.”“Why weren’t we alerted during the night?” Rhys asked, flinching slightly as he realised he didn’t command such orders and only presumed from his years as king that this would have been

  • Cursed to be my Mate   Alpha Evander

    ~ Rhys ~Nisha charged towards the large white-grey wolf that was thrice her size. It did not deter her. Though Rhys had a second of doubt upon seeing Alpha Evander’s size. He hadn’t seen his wolf before and only conversed with him in person in the palace or if he ventured across his lands.Alpha Evander was of similar size to Rhys, which was most concerning.‘Stop distracting me with your negative thoughts,’ Nisha hissed, bracing herself as Alpha Evander raced toward her.Rhys quietened and watched in tense silence as the Alpha lunged for her, but in Nisha’s nimble style Rhys was growing used to, she leapt over him, twisting her body to land on his back. The moment her claws almost landed on his white fur, the Alpha dropped to his side and caught her face with his sharp claws. Nisha’s head snapped to the side to the sheer power of his paw.The Alpha was on her in a split second, his speed something Nisha nor Rhys was used to. His paws pressed on her neck first, almost crushing her wi

    ~ Rhys ~“Hmm..” Groggily, Rhys opened his eyes, squinting against some of the light pouring in from what looked like barred windows. Sharp pain throbbed around his wrists and ankles, and his body felt heavy, his eyes stinging.He moved his hand to cover his eyes, pausing after hearing the clinking of metal and the metal weight rubbing on his wrist. His slightly blurred gaze flicked to his wrist, and his nose wrinkled upon seeing silver cuffs around it and around his ankles. He dropped his hand and looked at his surroundings.Rhys’ body was slumped against the rough wall of a private cell. His naked body was full of dried blood, bite marks and bruises. The only light filtered through the two small, barred windows at the top of the wall. It was silvery, and from the darkness outside, he knew it to be the moon.So he was in a cell. He almost scoffed, pissed off that he was in this situation after being forced into Amira’s body. This was all of the rebels doing, and now he was here. He w

    ~ Rhys ~Evander approached him and crouched down. The Alpha peered at him intently, those shimmering eyes almost hypnotic, which made Rhys frown and look away. Evander reached out and grabbed him by the chin and turned his face to meet his eyes.Evander’s gaze was not lustful but more intrigued as he continued to stare at Amira’s features. “So, you’re the Alpha King’s mate.” Rhys stilled at the Alpha’s words, meeting his silver gaze.One side of Evander’s lips slanted up, amusement filling his eyes.Instead of falling for his bait, Rhys asked him something that had been playing on his mind. “What are you?”“Shouldn’t you be worrying about yourself, rogue,” Evander sneered, releasing his face.Rhys rested his head back, fully aware of the pierced holes in his neck; they almost tingled the closer Evander had been to his face. “Well, it’s apparent what will happen to me from here. Certain death, torture, imprisonment… I’m more curious about what you are.” He really was. Whatever happene

    ~ Amira ~Upon waking up, Amira was startled to find herself in the king’s bed chambers again. She was disorientated after her dream with Demon because the wolf had fallen asleep in the forest outside of the palace. Did Demon wake up and return…Amira’s gaze fell on the rumpled sheets with dirt on them and the claw marks on the wooden post. Demon did return to Rhys’ bed chambers. With Demon’s return, Amira could feel his energy, much like when she had Nisha. Though it was quieter, Amira could still feel Demon’s emotions, and he seemed to be able to communicate one or two words.With a long sigh, Amira slowly sat up, only to pause and groan at the problem that persisted every morning. For some reason, it felt different this time. It was like she had an itch to scratch, like when she was feeling frisky. Amira glanced at her erection and frowned as the tip had a dribble of semen on it.Her dream with Demon was not a wet dream, but she was left with this feeling of wanting to satisfy hers

    ~ Amira ~Baltir met the Alpha King in the corridor where Amira began following the butler. Her Beta was quiet and watched her for a moment whilst they walked through the hallways; the intensity of his eyes made her head turn to the side to gaze at him.“Yes?” She frowned.Baltir cleared his throat and shook his head. “N-nothing.”Amira continued to watch him, unconvinced by his dismissal. She didn’t know what the Beta was thinking, though, so she couldn’t ask anymore what was wrong or what was on his mind. Regardless, Baltir was not a priority right now. She had to greet Alpha Evander of the Eternal Moon pack.The she-wolf was only a little anxious about meeting the man, but she mostly wanted to see the Alpha’s expression after losing precious land to rogues and losing in combat to such rogues. Was Alpha Evander just as bad as other Alphas, cocky and entitled, never expecting to yield to those of impoverished backgrounds and without the protection of a pack?Amira kept her expectatio

  • Cursed to be my Mate   Face-to-Face (2)

    ~ Rhys ~Was Amira really suggesting Baltir was a spy?Rhys was still trying to accept this situation. He knew since his capture that he would be meeting Amira, but he did not feel prepared for it. The moment those doors opened, and that sweet smell of orange and warm aroma of cinnamon before what he assumed was the bond alerted him to Amira’s presence before she entered. His heart raced before he could calm it, and his body heated, urging him to go to Amira.Rhys watched himself and the poor manners that were typically Amira. She was dressed like how he used to in his former years. Back when he was the Crown Prince, his mother used to always scold him, and once he became king, he cleaned up his act.It was the least he could do for his deceased parents. Yet now, Amira was acting like some man whore, displaying some of his finest jewels. One thing Rhys would compliment her on was the capacity to look so nonchalant and relaxed whilst discussing such a precarious subject. She was accusi

  • 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

    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

    “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

    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

    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
