2024-10-29 19:42:56Willa's POV
"Granny!" I muttered in shock, only to realize what it must look like to granny -- I had never hugged any men before in her memories, let alone an Alpha. She definitely thought I broke her "no relationship, no sex" rule.
Not that I didn't, but with the wrong Alpha.
"Alpha." Granny bared her neck at the Alpha, and Kirsch nodded slightly, letting go of me.
"You are back, Scarlett. How's the trip?" Kirsch said to granny.
"It was great, Alpha. I met with my parents and they are both well. I really appreciate your generosity." Granny bowed to Kirsch. She always used "visiting home pack" as an excuse to get out of the new pack for pack scouting.
"That's good to hear. I asked Willa to move to my house for her safety's sake." Kirsch nodded at me with a polite smile.
"My appreciation, Alpha." Granny bowed. I peeked at Kirsch secretly. He didn't seem upset when granny addressed him by the title!
Kirsch pressed his lips into a line, hesitating before he said: "I understand you would want Willa to move back, but--"
Ohh, right...I gulped. I totally forgot about this with Al occupying my mind totally. Granny would never allow me to stay at the Alpha's house. I was actually surprised that she didn't burst out in anger when she saw me here.
"Thanks for the consideration, Alpha. I'm fine with it if Willa chooses to stay. Of course, if that's not too much trouble for you, that is, Alpha." Granny said with a bright smile before she glanced at me.
Surprisingly, she didn't seem to be upset with me!
That was weird.
Kirsch turned to look at me, and I gulped before I walked up to granny nervously: "Can we talk?"
Granny bowed to the Alpha before she came out to the garden with me. Kirsch didn't follow us.
"Granny...are you mad at me?" I asked nervously, staring into her eyes. My world changed so much ever since I came to the Gemini Crescent. Everything felt strange to me now. How could granny not be mad at me when I broke the ONE rule she insisted on for all these years?
"Why, did you misbehave?" Granny smirked with a taunting smile. I rubbed my eyes to make sure it was my real granny in front of me. She slapped my wrist lightly with a chuckle.
Okay, still the same granny.
"Why didn't you mind link me when you came back?" I clung to her arm with a grin, finally feeling like I knew her again.
"You told me you were here so I just thought to drop by." Granny tipped my chin to look into my eyes, "The friend who blacked out, was he the Alpha?"
Wellllll, technically, it WAS.
"How did you know?!" I decided that hugging the Alpha was enough a bomb for the day, no need to let granny know I was actually dating a rogue, the silver rogue that she feared the most no less.
Al had to remain a secret to granny, at least until I get my wolf back.
"What happened in the last two weeks? You definitely weren't into the Alpha before I left the pack." Granny taunted me, ignoring my question.
"Quite a lot, actually." I let out a short laugh. My life had always been eventful, but not THIS eventful. I told granny about Rachel, but that meant I had to tell her about Scarlett and the fact that Rachel was targetting me for the exact same reason I got trouble with Liam.
"I'll deal with Rachel, you don't have to worry about her again," Granny said coldly. She could be terrifying sometimes. She was caring in general, but I was always her priority.
"It's okay. The Alpha saved me. I don't think he would take Rachel's side on this one." I shrugged, and granny's eyes suddenly turned taunting again.
"What?!" I blushed ONLY because she was staring at me in a weird way, all gossipy!
"How do you like the Alpha now?" Granny nudged me on the shoulder, and her eyes flickered. Antonia was peeking at me as well.
"Stop it! You are being weird again!" I turned around with a blush, dodging her eyes before my eyes spill my secret.
"Well, I guess you are staying here then." Granny chuckled, tickling me with her fingers on my waist.
"I--I don't know..." Hearing that from her suddenly shocked me. I was okay with moving around before granny was back. I never really had a home, and I was okay with staying basically anywhere. But I had always been staying with granny so long as she wasn't pack scouting.
I never imagined any other way.
"You have to leave me at some point, Willa." Granny smiled, patting me on my head, "You are two months away from turning 18, and that means mates, marks, and marriage--"
"Granny!" I covered my face, feeling my head steaming. Did I just get a marriage talk from her?!
Granny burst into laughter.
"But, what about the new moon?" I lowered my voice, realizing my problem was far more than just homesick.
"I thought you said the Alpha won't be in the pack on the new moon," Granny asked, glancing at the house. I turned to look, Kirsch wasn't there anymore.
"Well, that's true..." I hesitated. I never imagined leaving granny, not so abruptly. I wouldn't have if it weren't for Rachel. But now with Al living here...
I didn't want to be anywhere else.
I felt guilty toward granny.
"I'll come and pick you up after he leaves, and I'll carry you back before dawn. It won't be a problem." Granny already had her plans A, B, and C figured out.
"I have never left you before..." I knew I wanted to stay, but I was also reluctant to leave granny, not just for the guilt, but also because granny only had me.
"It's okay." Granny chuckled, "My little red riding hood is all grown up now. This day will come, sooner or later, silly."
Granny was smiling brightly, but it was exactly the bright smile that burned my heart. I could hear the attachment in her voice, and it hurt me that I had to choose.
"Do I HAVE to choose?" I whined, suddenly realizing if I did, I would be leaving granny, for real.
"I'm only minutes away, silly. This is how everyone grows up, little one." Granny chuckled, taking me into her arms.
"Then I don't want to grow up!" I shook my head, wouldn't let go.
"Just tell granny, do you WANT to stay?" Granny stroked my hair, calming me down.
I knew I wanted to, and I knew it was stupid to be upset for getting something I wanted, but still, tears fell, beyond my control.
I nodded.

Lured By The Cursed Alpha 088* Morning Routine
Willa's POV The next two days flew by as I grew more and more nervous. I still couldn't find my little vial, I guess it was truly lost. I didn't tell granny. I grew pretty used to staying with the Alpha though, with Al's help, that was. Staying with Al was the best. Though I enjoyed his cooking a lot, the most fun I had was teasing him in bed. Ohh, I officially moved into his bedroom. "Please, little one..." Al sighed, gripping on the headboard as he lay on the bed with me sitting on his stomach. "You can just say yes and I'll spare you." I ground on his stomach slowly. Ever since I slept in his bedroom for the first time, Al started sleeping with his shirt on. He was only in his boxer the night when he took me in! Evil. "I can't, you know I can't." Al sighed, closing his eyes in frustration. I finger walked to his top button and worked my way down. Al grunted frustratedly. "But I really, really, really want it.
Lured By The Cursed Alpha 089 Cocktail Bom
Kirsch's POV As always, I went to check the patrols and directed them to clear a path for Taran to sneak out. We couldn't be seen together, and I needed people to see me as much as I can before midnight came. Taran would go ahead to the beach and wait for me. Though he denied that Willa was his mate, his action was speaking louder. They were basically together now, and I knew he never mess around, not even once. But that wasn't why I was bothered. I looked into his lousy excuse about how he killed Willa's parents five years ago at Scarlet Creek. I thought it would be an easy lie to expose as I looked into Willa's past. The findings shocked me. I expected that she wasn't at Jason's pack five years ago. Scarlett had told me that they moved around a few times. But when I started looking into it, I found that I couldn't quite pin down their route in their past. They were like ghosts, flowing around packs with little traces
Lured By The Cursed Alpha 090 A True Alpha
Kirsch's Pov [Evening.] I froze in shock, staring at the silver beast who just mindlinked me. He never did that. He rarely accepted my mind links in the past, let alone initiating one! Even though I just watched Taran shift, I still doubt whether it was the true mad Alpha in front of me. [Shift!] Cerberus grunted when he glanced up as I stood there staring at him, naked. I felt such a huge force on my back, almost bringing me to my knees. If he was still my alpha, I would have been forced to shift right there. I shifted instantly. Reminding Cerberus that he didn't have the Alpha Aura over me wasn't the wisest thing to do, especially right before the new moon. Cerberus didn't like me, and I knew why. I thought it was because I was the one fighting him on the new moon nights, now I knew, it was because I marked Taran by mistake. [Where do you feel like running to tonight?] I bared my neck at Cerberus.
Lured By The Cursed Alpha 091 Boiling Water
Kirsch's Pov [Where are you going?! This is the pack's direction!] I shouted at Cerberus as I ran along his side. [Close!] He growled, not even looking at me as he sped up right at the center of the town. [Cerberus, no! You can't be seen by the pack! They are already suspicious!] I shouted as I chased after him, [You always run AWAY from the pack, what's got into you?!] He didn't even bother to answer. The cliff by the coast ran down right to the east end of the forest, which was only a few miles away from the town. I have to stop him before he dashed into the town! I caught up to him barely when he was already halfway down the slope behind the cliff, and I jumped before I bit on his leg. Thank God I reached him. The momentum of his leg pulled my body to the front. I felt my teeth loosen up at the dragging force but I didn't let go. Cerberus roared in anger as he stomped on my chest before he jumped back
Lured By The Cursed Alpha 092 Poison The Alpha
Willa's POV My subconsciousness came to the realization of sunshine before my mind did. When I opened my eyes, only a world of different shades of green was there, waiting for me. The golden sunshine flew among the tips of the grass, giving that verdancy a shred of soft gold as they curved casually... Like Al's hair. Every morning after the new moon, I felt I was born fresh again with butterflies fluttering in my heart trying to burst out. [One more new moon to go before you are finally free, little one.] Antonia's huge head bumped mine a little, reminding me that I was lying in the furry cove she made with her body. [Let's not talk about it yet and just focus on my survival for now!] I cheered, jumping up with full strength, [Aww! Everything is so pretty!] [We can go to the beach before I take you back to the Alpha's house.] Antonia stood up, shaking her body under the sun with dew coming off her fur. I hollered, mimic
Lured By The Cursed Alpha 093 Luna's Decision
Willa's POV "Good to have you here!" I never imagined I would say such a thing to James, but at least he was loyal to Kirsch. He could take Kirsch to a hospital. "What happened to the Alpha?!" James lunged toward us before he knelt beside Kirsch, shaking his body. Yeah, shaking a severely wounded man, that would help. "Stop it! He's badly injured! Are you crazy?!" I pushed James on the arm, but I had no strength left to really make a difference. "Did you do this?!" James suddenly took me by the wrist before he pulled me off the ground. "I'm wolfless! You moron!" I swung my arm, trying to get rid of him, "Why would I hurt him even if I could?!" "Maybe because you are the cursed wolf, and you hurt him last night when you went in rage." A cold sneer reached us. It was Natasha. She glanced at Kirsch before she fixed her eyes on me with fire burning in those cold eyes. Granny growled, pulling her lips back over her teeth as she step
Lured By The Cursed Alpha 094 Life Or Death
Willa's POV They pulled me and granny off the ground, and James purposely pulled me by my broken arm. The searing pain radiated my shoulder made tears brim my eyes, but I didn't want to cry in front of them. I grabbed my own broken arm and pulled back, trying to get rid of James. He smirked evilly, playing the seesaw game with my arm. I bit my lips as I tried to ignore the pain, but it was like a vicious snake swimming into my brain. "Beg, you poisonous wild kitten." James sneered, rising my arm high into the air. Can I bite his head off instead? I didn't want to give in, but granny was poisoned with wolfsbane, and no one could help us. "I beg you, Beta, please let me go," I said in a low voice, baring my head. I had never bared my neck at anyone other than Alphas, and tears of humiliation burst out as my ears turned red. Although on the level of being a jerk, James COULD match with some of them. "I can't hear you, kitten." Jam
Lured By The Cursed Alpha 095 Losing Something I Never Had
Willa's POV "She wouldn't kill us!... Why would she?" I muttered in shock. Why would she be so hell-bent on killing me? Sure, she hated me, but Jason was dealt with and I didn't do anything to Rachel. There wasn't even any reason for her to hate me! "Reasons or not, she hated us. If we stay, we will die." Granny sighed, still shivering from the wolfsbane. This was the first time I didn't want to leave a pack even when I had to. [Kirsch! Kirsch...] I tried to mind link Kirsch, hoping that maybe he could wake up. I knew it was a long shot. He was badly wounded. It was already a miracle that he didn't die. There was no way he could wake up any time soon. I couldn't mind link Al. "So, you want a prison break? Can we come back after?" I asked granny. It would be fine. We could come back after Kirsch wakes up. "We can, but...the teleport mark I set this time is very far away..." Granny sighed, looking at me with a sad look, "I set it

Kirsch's POVI really thought Stone would make at least SOME suspicous move when he comes over, but he didn't.All he did, he did right in front of my eyes, at his invitation. I knew he was trying to gaining my trust by asking me to participate in everything, but something felt off, and I couldn't quite pin it.The most frustrating part was, I couldn't catch him with anything when it felt like it was right in front of my eyes."Ready for our date, Alpha Kirsch?" Stone was still in his human form when I came out in my wolf form. He would try to stay as long as he could in his human form whenever he was over in the pack, and I talked about that with Rudy, we both agreed that Stone was trying to lower our guard by showing up harmless, which was the most dangerous disguise.I wasn't falling for that.And the most annoying part, was his constant effort on starting a conversation."I proposed that we go North today because of the recent event." Stone walked by my side and Rudy started runni
Lured By The Cursed Alpha 239 Who Are You Texting
Taran's POVDays passed, but everything seemed fine.Kirsch kept a regular daily report, but mostly about how Stone sent over people for some non-important spots on patrol, and Kirsch has sent men over, too. Every time Stone came over to our pack, he would inform Kirsch, and do a regular patrol together with Kirsch. As much as Kirsch hated it, it was better that Stone was kept under his nose.I know I'm not imagining it that Willa, or should I say, Nox, had been less happy ever since Kirsch left. Though I kept her company -- or rather -- she wouldn't let me go anywhere without her attached on my waist, there was always this gloomy cloud in her eyes that no amount of ice cream could chase away.Yep, ice cream.Lived a thousand lives in misery, ice cream has become the dark goddess's one solace that she can face without guilt.I feel like she felt guilty toward me, and I don't know why.All I knew was, I was able to get the magic about draining one's blood out of her that day, and even

Kirsch's POVIt wasn't like Stone would make his move right there at the Treaty.Taran and Willa hurried back in a couple of hours, at which time Stone already left the Treaty."So we have the time all to ourselves now?!" Willa cheered, bouncing on the bed at that news, "Great!"Leaning on the door frame, Taran shot Willa a weird look hearing that, but he didn't put in a comment."It can't be good that Stone chose to work with me," I frowned in deep thought. There is a mountain between our packs, and now we have to share the patrol duty, we have to exchange people, "I'll head back first. You guys can stay here and enjoy the vacation."I don't know how to trust anyone Stone might send."We need to stay together," Taran suddenly said, his eyes on the floor with his arms folded in front of him, "we don't know what Stone is up to, but if there is anything he desires from us, it's within the three of us.""But I don't want to go yet..." Willa pouted, begging Taran, "Please, please? I have
Lured By The Cursed Alpha 237 Sudden Affection From The Alpha
Kirsch's POV"So you are telling me, he's actually part of the Treaty now?!" I turned to Powell with disbelief. The first thing I saw after I went into the meeting room, I couldn't believe --It was Stone, sitting in the second chair to the chairman of the Treaty.And something was different about him -- something besides the fact that he got a whole new arm.Turning his ring in a leisurely way, Stone smirked without looking at me: "I never knew the Treaty treats Alphas so poorly.""Stone Hayes is our new thirteenth Alpha," Powell turned to me with a sullen look, "pay some due respect, Kirsch."I frowned at Powell: "Well, you have changed! What got into you?"Not that I expected Powell to support me for our history's sake, but he had always been disapproval of Stone before this -- well, before the Treaty suddenly turned on Taran.[Don't push them too far,] Taran's voice suddenly rose in my head -- Rudy mindlinked him when we saw Stone there in the room, [I'm afraid Powell is no longer
Lured By The Cursed Alpha 236 Dark Shadow
Kirsch's POVI wanted to stay on the sofa -- actually, I wanted to die on the sofa. There was nothing that could ever lure me more than sex with both of my mates.Taran pulled out first.He handed the drunk, melted kitten over to me with a soft voice: "Take her to bed, will you? I'll go fetch some clean towels."Willa let out a protesting whimper when Taran was no longer inside her, but there was zero energy left in her to do anything more than that.I pulled her close, supporting her body with my hands under her thighs as I walked over to the bed."Owww..." Willa moaned faintly with a mild smile, liking the little tingles my cock spread inside her with the movement."Greedy little kitten," I mumbled with a chuckle, leaving kisses on her lips and chin and neck after I put her onto the bed before I pulled out slowly.She dragged me on my shoulder and pulled me into bed with her before she snuggled into my arms and closed her eyes with a naughty smile."I REALLY have to attend the meeti
Lured By The Cursed Alpha 235 Killing Me Softly
Kirsch's POV I didn't even know when Taran stopped, just so he wouldn't distract her, but I surely felt it when he started again-- Without even giving her time to answer Rudy, Taran rammed into her, making her gasp in the sudden pleasure, and she took our lips into a firey kiss as she moved over our tip. Rudy let go of her hand and gave me control. [What was that--] I started, struggling between the waves of tingles spreading over my body. [You have a more urgent problem at hand,] Rudy nudged me with a grin, [make her happy or I will!] I believe I stopped paying attention to him halfway through his nagging. Taran let go of Willa, leaving her firm breasts pressed against me, and I felt like they were two balls of fire, burning my skin in the most amazing way. He had one leg knelt on the sofa and bent down with her, helping her sit down on me and getting my cock all the way into her to the deepest. The huge pleasure took away my breath. Willa let out a little whimper with her le
Lured By The Cursed Alpha 234 Million Dollar Question
Kirsch It was like my heart inflated before exploded when that word rolled off Willa's tongue, and my head was totally blank during that fierce kiss. I almost wish I could die at that moment so the kiss would never end. I felt bad stealing Willa from Taran, but I couldn't help accepting Willa's teasing when she showed interest in me. She was like a poison with the most delicious flavor, and knowing it would kill me I devoured her still every time I got the chance. But until now, it was only teasing-- She would jump on me and lick my collarbone, sending tingles that make me tremble, but never had her lips land on mine; she would press herself against me and giggle, but mostly it was only when she wanted stuff FROM me, unlike now when her eyes were sinking into mine with pure desire as if all she wanted was me. And that was the poison I could never escape. "Mate!" I responded when my lips finally found a gasp of freedom before I took her into my chest and kneaded as if we could beco
Lured By The Cursed Alpha 233 First Kiss
Taran's POVI cut off the mindlink with Kirsch, and instantly--[We can wake Willa up,] Cerberus huffed in a hurtful tone. He noticed not a moment later than I did.He was in pain. It physically hurt us to know that our mates are suffering, and Cerberus knew the pain of being kept in deep sleep more than anyone --Well, anyone but Nox.[She can put Willa into deep sleep once, she can do it again,] I suppressed the bitter sting in my chest to comfort my wolf, [we have to solve this properly without hurt to either of them. They are one, Cerberus.][She needs the other mate mark,] Cerberus kept his calm, it was so much easier to talk to him right now, [but I doubt she would mark anyone if she couldn't even mark Kirsch.][She couldn't mark Kirsch because her human part was in deep sleep,] I watched Cerberus carefully -- I know the jealousy I have been feeling was half from him, [Nox loves Kirsch. She can't fight the mate pull.][So
Lured By The Cursed Alpha 232 The Scheme Against The Alpha
Taran's POV "Powell, good to see you again," I reached out my hand to Powell when Willa and Kirsch both turned their heads away when they saw Powell greeting us at the gate of the Treaty. "The same!" Powell grabbed my hand gratefully, and instantly let go when Willa shot him a death stare, "I'm so glad to have you with us, Alpha Taran!" "He's not the Alpha," Willa suddenly interrupted in a cold tone, "Kirsch Murphy is our current Alpha, and we are hoping you can at least pay your due respect to little details like these." Kirsch stared at Willa in shock with his jaw on the ground before he turned to me with confusion in his eyes. Though both of them are my mates, I do taste jealousy every time Willa appears close to Kirsch, and that was when I noticed -- Willa HAD been closer to Kirsch, and it actually started since the day when she failed to mark him. I was worried that day would ruin the little closeness they had before. "I'm terribly sorry! Miss..." Powell hesitated, and oddl
