Offered to the Cursed Alpha Chapter 79
Arianna’s POVI woke up to utter darkness.For a brief moment I was disoriented and groggy, I lay, facing the ceiling with my eyes open, there trying to figure out why nothing looked familiar. The ceiling was too high, the air smelled of salt and something faintly tropical, and the bed beneath me was way too soft. My brain, was still slow with sleep, and I struggled to piece together the pieces of my memory.Then it hit me.The island.Ryker.The house that was way too extravagant for one person.The realization settled over me, and I exhaled quietly, shifting slightly under the cool sheets. As I adjusted, another sound reached my ears—the slow crash of waves against rocks. It was gentle but persistent in every few seconds. It was also soothing, a well needed lullaby that should have sent me right back to sleep.Except I couldn’t.I turned my head toward the alarm clock on the nightstand, squinting at the glowing numbers. 2:03 AM.Great.I let out a quiet sigh and tried closing my eye

Ryker’s POVThe waves rolled in slow, crashing against the shore with a steady rhythm. It was the only thing grounding me. The only thing keeping me from spiraling.I sat at the edge of the beach, my elbows resting on my knees, my fingers digging into the damp sand as I stared at the dark ocean. The moon’s reflection danced across the water, distorted every time a wave broke. I should’ve gone to bed, should’ve forced myself to sleep and pretend like everything was fine. But the truth was—it wasn’t.It had been too close tonight. Too damn close.I could still feel it in my bones, a slow-burning liquid fire crawling through my veins, threatening to consume me. It had started at dinner. Something about the exhaustion, the shift in environment, or maybe just Arianna’s presence had triggered it. My body had tensed, my senses had sharpened, and for a split second, I swore I could feel my wolf clawing at the surface, hungry, desperate, uncontrollable.I had barely kept it in check.That was

Arianna’s POVThe words wouldn’t leave my head.I killed my father.I had known it. Heard it before, whispered in hushed voices behind closed doors. I had known it as a rumor long before Claire confirmed it to me. It wasn’t a secret. But hearing it from him—watching him say it with that forced, empty smile—was something I never could have expected.He hadn’t let me react. Before I could process what those words truly meant, he had already stood up, offered some half-hearted excuse about going inside before I caught a cold, and started walking back toward the house. I had followed silently behind him and that was the end of that conversation.Neither of us spoke as we walked back inside, and even when we reached our rooms, not a single word passed between us.But now, hours later, I was still awake.I lay in bed, staring up at the ceiling, his words running through my mind in like a record, one I couldn’t find the stop button to. I didn’t know the full story. I didn’t know why he had d

Arianna’s POVThe moment my lips crashed against his, it was like a dam breaking. Every ounce of tension, every hot glance, every unsaid word that had built up between us over the past few weeks poured into that kiss. I wasn’t sure who was hungrier—me or him—but the second he responded, I lost all sense of control.Ryker’s hands slid to my waist, gripping me with a force that sent a shiver down my spine. My fingers tangled in his hair, tugging slightly as I pressed my body against his, desperate for more. He groaned into my mouth, deep and guttural, and the sound sent heat rushing straight between my legs.His tongue brushed against mine, slow and teasing at first, but then it became a battle for dominance—one he clearly intended to win and I had no restrictions. His hands roamed my body, one moving up my spine while the other gripped my hip, pressing me impossibly closer. My thin shirt was the only barrier between us, but I felt everything—his warmth, the hardness of his muscles, the

Ryker’s POVSitting through breakfast was nothing short of hell.Arianna was right in front of me, her lips slightly swollen from our kiss, her hair still a little messy from where I’d tangled my fingers in it. She kept her eyes fixed on her bowl of cereal like it was the most interesting thing on earth, but every time she shifted, I caught the subtle rise and fall of her chest, the way her breath hitched slightly, the way she still looked flushed from our heated makeout session.And I was suffering.My cock was still rock hard, straining uncomfortably against my jeans, and no matter how many times I shifted in my seat, there was no relief. Every little movement she made—tucking her hair behind her ear, licking a drop of milk from her lips, even the damn way she sighed—sent a fresh wave of heat straight to my groin and made my cock throb painfully. I clenched my fists under the table, focusing on the pain of my nails digging into my palms. Anything to keep myself from doing what I re

Arianna’s POVI took a slow, deep breath. Then another.It was just an evening out. Nothing more.Not a date.Not anything that should have had my heart racing like I was about to do something that would change my life forever.I had spent more time getting ready than I wanted to admit, but that was only because I hadn’t known where we were going. That was all. I had to find the right outfit—not too dressed up, not too casual. Nothing about this was special.At least, that was what I had told myself.Yet, here I was, standing in front of my door, trying to convince myself that Ryker didn’t matter enough to affect me. That what had happened earlier wasn’t still lingering in my mind, and setting every nerve ending of my body on fire.That I wasn’t still aching for his touch.I exhaled sharply and yanked the door open.And my world stopped.Ryker stood there, inches away, hand still on the door handle. His eyes met mine, and something passed between us. Then, his gaze dropped.He dragge

Arianna’s POVThe building before me was magnificent. Not in a flashy, gaudy way, but in the kind of way that made you stop and stare. It was like something out of a dream—too perfect, too carefully placed within its surroundings to be real and it was right by the sea!I had spent an unhealthy amount of time researching this island, scrolling through every image, every review, memorizing every hidden gem. And yet, this place—this breathtaking place—had somehow escaped me.“How have I never heard of this before?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.Beside me, Ryker smirked, slipping his hands into his pockets. “Because it’s meant to stay hidden.”I turned to him, brows furrowed. “What’s that supposed to mean?”He exhaled, tilting his head slightly toward the building. “The architecture was designed to fit the natural surroundings and not to be disturbed by tourists. The owner wanted exclusivity—no advertisements, no online reservations, no public records. Only those with connecti

Ryker’s POVA sucker.That’s what I was.There was no other way to explain why I gave in so easily, why I found myself saying “yes” before she even asked. She had barely even looked at me, just that small, barely-there gleam of anticipation in her eyes, and suddenly, I was agreeing to whatever she wanted.Heck, if she asked for my heart on a gold platter then, I would have handed it right to her.I watched as she practically bounced in her seat, her cheeks barely containing her excitement, and I almost laughed. She was still such a child in some ways, so easily thrilled by the little things. It was… refreshing to see. She was so innocent. And yet, the darker part of me—the part that was never really at rest—enjoyed something else entirely. It liked the thought of her beneath me, eyes hazy and lips parted as I dragged every last bit of that innocence away.The thought alone had my body tightening in response.Fuck.I exhaled sharply, shifting in my seat as the ache in my groin settled

_Ryker’s POV_Arianna had calmed down. Or so I thought.But I couldn’t have been more wrong.“Please,” her soft plea reached my ears like she was trying to nip at every crack in my composure.It was already so difficult having that conversation with her while we were both naked, but having her beg me like that took the thing to a whole new level.My arms were still wrapped around her, so she pushed her tits into my chest and I cursed loudly and pulled her back.But she was undeterred. Arianna kept begging me. Her voice was raw with desperation, her fingers trembling as she reached for me again. I caught her wrists, my grip firm but gentle as I shook my head.“Arianna, stop,” I murmured, my voice strained. My entire body was on fire, every nerve ending screaming at me to just give in, but I couldn’t. Not like this. Not now.She wasn’t thinking clearly. I knew that. She was still reeling from what had happened, from the violation she had barely escaped. Her body was seeking comfort, som

_Ryker’s POV_I couldn’t see anything but red.Even as their bodies lay in shreds at my feet, the rage still burned inside me, hot and insatiable. I could have torn them apart again, limb by limb, made them suffer longer, made them beg for mercy they didn’t deserve.But they were already dead. And it wasn’t enough.Nothing would ever be enough.The scent of blood was thick in the air, mixing with the sharp, pungent stench of piss—their last act of cowardice before I ripped them apart. I didn’t care what the town would think when they woke up to find the remains of these worthless bastards staining their streets. I didn’t care if they feared me, if they whispered about the monster lurking in the shadows.Let them.They had no idea what real monsters looked like.I turned, breath still heaving, my skin sticky with their blood. My gaze locked onto her.Arianna.She was curled against the wall, her body trembling so violently I could feel it in my bones. Her arms were wrapped around herse

_Arianna’s pov_I froze.The catcall had already sent a chill down my spine, but it was the voices that followed that truly made my stomach twist.“Well, well,” one of them drawled, his tone thick with amusement. “What’s a pretty thing like you doing all alone at this hour?”I turned slowly, my pulse hammering.Two men stood under the dim glow of a flickering streetlamp. Both were tall, broad-shouldered, in a way that made my heart drop. The one on the left had greasy, slicked-back hair and a twisted grin that revealed yellowed teeth. His eyes were sharp, predatory, drinking me in like I was already his. The other man was bulkier, his head shaved, a jagged scar cutting through his eyebrow. His arms were covered in ink, the designs crude and dark against his pale skin.They weren’t just looking at me. They were sizing me up.My fingers curled into fists at my sides as I forced myself to turn away.Just ignore them. Just walk away.“Hey, sweetheart.” The greasy-haired man took a step fo

_Ryker’s pov_Damn it.I ran a hand through my hair, gripping hard enough to hurt as I paced the length of my room. My chest was tight, breathing ragged, the walls pressing in on me like they wanted to crush me because of just how stupid I was.I had overreacted.I knew it the second I saw the look on Arianna’s face. The second she flinched. The second she stuttered out an apology she didn’t even owe me before rushing out of my room like she couldn’t get away fast enough.I had overreacted. And then I had made it worse by shutting her out after that.I should have said something. Should have gone after her instead of avoiding her like a goddamn coward. But the truth was, I didn’t trust myself not to make it worse. One wrong word, one sharp edge to my tone, and I could’ve snapped. I could’ve proven her right—that I was something to be afraid of.And I couldn’t handle that.But now she was gone.And it was a terrible fucking mistake.I pulled my phone out for the hundredth time and dial

Arianna’s POVThe house felt smaller than it had ever felt before.I sat at the kitchen table long after Ryker had walked away, my untouched plate in front of me, my fingers curled around the edge of the wooden surface like I needed something to hold me from falling down.The more I replayed everything that had happened, the worse I felt. It wasn’t that I was afraid of him—not really. Not anymore. Or at least… not all the time.I had come to understand Ryker in ways I never thought I would. Beneath all that anger, all that roughness, he was someone who paid attention to details. Who noticed the small things about people. Someone who, despite everything, had gone out of his way to make sure I had something I liked—just because I liked it.And I had hurt him.The look in his eyes when I dropped that plate—when I flinched—had been burned into my memory, and it made my chest feel like it was caving in.I couldn’t stay here.I pushed back my chair abruptly, the legs scraping against the fl

Arianna’s POVEven a day later, I still couldn’t stop thinking about it.The necklace.Ryker’s words.That look in your eyes—that’s why I bought it.I had replayed that moment so many times in my head that it had practically been burned into my memory. I had spent most of the night staring at the delicate silver chain, running my fingers over the diamond as if trying to memorize its every detail. I had never owned anything this beautiful before, but it wasn’t just the necklace itself that made it precious.It was the intention behind it.Ryker had seen me. He had noticed something as small as the way my eyes lit up over a piece of jewelry and had gone out of his way to get it for me. Because I liked it. Because that, to him, was reason enough.My heart softened all over again just thinking about it.I hadn’t seen much of him after that.He had been locked in his room all day, and every time I tried to check in on him, he brushed me off with a simple I’m busy.Then there was dinner.It

Arianna’s POVThe second I stepped out of the bathroom, my wet hair clinging to my skin, I was met with the last thing I expected—Ryker, standing there, staring at me like I had personally offended him just by existing.The sight of him startled me so much that a scream tore out of my throat before I could stop it. It wasn’t just a little yelp, either. It was a full-blown, blood-curdling scream—the kind people let out in horror movies right before they got murdered.Ryker winced, ears twitching as if the sound physically pained him. “Damn, Arianna,” he muttered, rubbing the side of his head. “Trying to make me deaf?”I clutched my towel tightly against my body, fearing it would slip, my heart hammering. “Trying to get yourself killed?” I shot back, glaring at him. “What the hell are you doing in my room?”His lips twitched like he was holding back a laugh. “I knocked.”“Knocking and then walking in defeats the whole purpose, Ryker.”“Technically, you didn’t answer.”I gaped at him. “I

Ryker’s POVThe cold air burned my lungs as I ran through the thick forest, my breath coming out in heavy puffs of white smoke in front of my eyes. The loud pound of my feet against the damp earth should have been enough to clear my mind. It was supposed to be. That was the entire reason I had come out here in the first place—to get away, to get some space, to let myself breathe without her scent clinging to every damn inch of me.But it wasn’t working.I had only been gone for an hour—maybe less—but already, I was restless. Already, my mind had circled back to her more times than I cared to admit.Had she woken up yet?Had she seen the note?Had she opened the damn box?Was she still in bed? Had she eaten? Was her ankle still hurting?Would she even want to see me when I got back?I gritted my teeth and pushed forward, running faster, harder. My muscles burned with the more I pushed myself, but it wasn’t enough. No matter how fast I ran, no matter how far I went, I couldn’t outrun he

Arianna’s POVI stared at the box, my fingers frozen against the lid, my breath catching in my throat.I had expected something practical—maybe another healing balm, or even something ridiculous, like more clothes he thought were appropriate for me to wear. Or even a dead rat just to spike my blood pressure.But this?This was the last thing I had imagined.The moment the light hit the diamonds, they shone so brilliantly that I had to blink, momentarily stunned.My heart lurched.No.No way.This wasn’t real. It couldn’t be.I slowly placed the box back on the counter, staring at it like it was about to sprout wings and fly away.Then, as if suddenly remembering myself, I yanked my hands away from it entirely, turning them over in front of me.I quickly wiped my sweaty palms down the length of my pajamas pants, thinking I would ruin it otherwise. I had touched the note before this, smudging the edges and some of the ink probably got on my fingers. What if I got the jewelry dirty? What
