2024-10-29 19:42:56Taran's POV
[Lair!] Cerberus jumped at me for control. He took her story as an attempt to take Willa away from him.
[Clam down, Cerberus! It's just a story!] I closed my eyes shut, desperate as the feeling of the old Cerberus surfaced.
I tried to remain calm in front of Scarlett: "The moon goddess pairs everyone with a mate. I'm sure even without a sane mind, the mad king--"
"Not everyone." Scarlett shook her head with suspicion written in her eyes, "The mad king was cursed by the moon goddess herself. Do you know why he would go for a kill?"
I didn't want to know. I couldn't bear to hear more.
"He takes other's mate as his own. He would recognize a mate, and kill her real mate only to keep her to himself."
My blood froze. As much as I didn't want to believe her, that possibility put real fear in me.
She didn't know I was the mad king, or the fact that I claimed Willa as my mate -- she thought it was Kirsch. So she had no

Willa's POV It took us a couple of hours to finish the three tattoos. I was dying to go and check on Al, but Kirsch wouldn't let me leave, not even on the little breaks granny took. "The design is really pretty! I have only seen a few Runes myself, but of course, never one with real magic in it." Kirsch said as he took my hand to observe the Death spell. It took all my energy to not roll my eyes at his shoddy excuse to occupy us. Either he was afraid I was going to rape Al while granny was right downstairs, or he was really nervous about being with granny alone. Neither of those scenarios was NOT lame! "Where have you seen Runes before?" I challenged him, hoping he would let me go as soon as I could expose his lie. "In the museums." He grinned at me with an innocent smile. "It would be a mess if the world knew about magic." I squinted my eyes at him, upset that I couldn't really prove he was lying. "Runes are al
Lured By The Cursed Alpha 123 Taran's Promise
Kirsch's POVI had been trying to mind link Taran ever since he broke the mind link.No luck.He was furious at the possibility that he might be the one who hurt Willa five years ago. Taran was okay this afternoon when I mindlinked him. Something happened during his conversation with Scarlett.I really need to look into her."You knew he left, didn't you?!" Willa demanded in anger, getting more and more worried. I would too, knowing Taran had a suicidal tendency. But he said he needed an answer this time."There was an emergency and he needed to investigate." I tried to avoid mentioning Scarlett and the incident five years ago without directly lying.Willa squinted her eyes with suspicion, and I gulped in nervousness."What the hell IS the emergency that he's looking into that he can't even tell me?!" Willa pushed me away in frustration, "Can you all stop treating me like a kid and keeping everything from me?!""There ha
Lured By The Cursed Alpha 124 New Hit
Willa's POVThough getting Cerberus's promise lit up my mood, it was hard for me to sleep that night. I was used to sleeping in the house with Al by my side.In fact, I had never slept alone in the Alpha house before, not since the first night where I was badly injured.I couldn't sleep not only because Al wasn't there, but also because of his sudden "investigation". Something was wrong. He was acting weird when I got home actually.When granny was with him, alone.[Granny.] I tried to mind link her, half expecting granny to be asleep. But she answered right away--[Are you okay?][I'm fine, lying in bed.] I showed her around in the moonlight. The moon was shining brightly, being two days away from a full moon.[What's wrong, little one?] Granny calmed down a little, asking. She was painting on a piece of parchment, making a spell.[Hmmm...why didn't you stay for dinner today?] I hesitated before I changed my question. A
Lured By The Cursed Alpha 125* The Naked Alpha
Willa's POVWhy wasn't I even surprised that it was Rachel?Expecting a bully to "learn from their mistakes" is being stupid, because they might not even think they are at fault.What surprised me was the fact that she came alone instead of with her two huge twin wolves and her stupid smirk."I come to talk." Rachel shifted before she bared her neck at me. Her red hair was barely over her chest. She was actually on the sexy side."How many wolves do you have hiding around us?" I teased with a smirk. I couldn't feel any other wolf's presence, but I doubted she would really come alone."None. I'm not here to fight you." Rachel locked her eyes on me. She looked much maturer than before -- or at least, calmer than before."You didn't fight me last time either." I rolled my eyes before I turned to leave, "But I don't want to talk to you."All of a sudden, one of her twins came out of the bushes from behind me, naked. That was why I
Lured By The Cursed Alpha 126 Taran's Smell
Kirsch's POV "Sorry!" I shouted before I let go of Willa and shifted back to my wolf form. I should keep my distance from Willa, especially when Taran was with her now, but I was too nervous to remain calm when I realized I had been following a bait when Willa was Rachel. The scene of Willa laying on the ground with her face covered in blood had been haunting me ever since Rachel hurt her last time. "It's fine, but you really need to stop shifting in front of people!" Willa chuckled before she came forward and hugged me, "I have missed you!" She meant Rudy. Willa was very sensitive about nudity and I kept forgetting that. Though she had never shifted, wolfless ones are usually more or less used to seeing other wolves shift at least. Rudy purred as she rubbed her face on his shoulder, and it took all my self-control to not back away from her in panic. Taran helped a lot when he cleared the misunderstanding between me and Willa,
Lured By The Cursed Alpha 127 The Choice Of Life
Kirsch's POV[Taran?] I glanced at Willa and hesitated before I tried to mind link him cautiously. Willa jerked up her head and stared at me with anticipation all of a sudden.Taran rejected it.Willa collapsed on my shoulder again, even more upset. Seeing her feeling low physically hurt me. I sniffed the air carefully, though faint, the smell was real.But why didn't Taran show up if he was nearby?[Willa, you would be okay to stay here alone for a while, right? I can go fetch some cloth before I come for you.] I found an excuse, trying to act as normal as possible.[Yeah, of course. You don't have to come and pick me up though, I'll get back later myself.] Willa sat straight, and the soft and warm touch of her body left me. I missed it, but I had to let her go.[I WILL come back, wait for me.] I left after I got a mild nod from Willa before I cut the mindlink with her.[Taran! Where are you?] I asked as I followed the faint s
Lured By The Cursed Alpha 128* A Letter Behind The Ear
Taran's POVKnowing about the truth, or, remembering the truth of five years ago was heavy, but it only reminded me how precious my life was now.My life used to be simple -- I knew I had a curse, and I was surviving only to wait for my death. Now it was full of mystery that I couldn't explain, but at the same time, I was living a life, with my brother and my mate...Assuming she was mine.Though I didn't want to consider the possibility of Scarlett's story, it took a toll on me. I couldn't help but wonder whether I was stealing Willa from her true mate.I came back because I was sure of one thing--I would never hurt Willa again -- Cerberus would never hurt Willa again."Did you miss me?" I managed a smile even though I was feeling a bit heavy when I approached Willa, but the bright grin lit on her face when she looked up and saw me cast away all the dark clouds in my heart--"Where did you go?!" Willa jumped into my arms, bur
Lured By The Cursed Alpha 129* Over The Line
Willa's POVI tricked Al.I got really nervous this time when Al left without a word. It was evil, but I didn't think he would agree to it if I had told him I left a Mark spell on him.Granny gave me one behind my ear, too.Mark spell is a location mark, one that could be traced with its corresponding Trace spell. Letters could repeat in Runes, but never the design. I had a Runes of the letter "W" behind my ear. Granny gave it to me. It was in the shape of an asymmetric butterfly.The letter I gave Al was "T". I liked his name, especially when I found out that his name meant thunder. I loved watching thunderstorms hiding indoors. The design I did was like a bass clef. I liked it the first time I ever saw a music score.I didn't play myself, just find it beautiful.Now that with a Trace spell, I could trace my special design on Al if he ever disappear again without telling me!"What's the secret behind the tattoo you gave me, hm

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
Lured By The Cursed Alpha 238 Fighting Over The Title
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
