Stavros - The Cursed Beta (Overpowered Series) Chapter Nineteen – Crystal’s Equation With Him
Hazel’s POV I returned home feeling disappointed to find no job vacancy at the only school in Lucania. Where else could I hunt for jobs without leaving my village? There was no way I could pursue my dream career here. The only options left for me were the temporary jobs around the village. After freshening up, I desperately needed a shoulder to cry on. Maybe Aunt Cassie would have a solution for me. Maybe I could keep myself occupied at the packhouse in the meantime. Anything was better than nothing. With no news of Hera, I felt lonely. Maybe I would get some updates if I stayed at the packhouse with my aunts. I started the car and steered it towards the packhouse. I found Aunt Cassie busy cooking with Aunt Carla in the packhouse kitchen when I reached there. The hunters had returned with a big haul and a feast was being prepared for all. “You can join us too, Hazel!” I considered the option. The dishes looked too good to resist. “Sure, if you allow me to help.” Aunt Carla smile

Hazel’s POV I drove away from the packhouse, far away from Stavros and his new mate. My heart bled, yet I refused to shed tears for him. His bipolar attitude confused me and disturbed me at the same time. My phone buzzed with an incoming call from Aunt Carmen and I knew they realized I had left. I just hoped they wouldn’t come over to Lucania to get me. It was true I was struggling to find work, but I refused to go back to Fairbanks. Maybe with time, I would find something here I could enjoy. I drove on dejectedly when my gaze fell upon the rear-view mirror. Why was Stavros following me around in a black Chevy Silverado? Hadn’t I left him with Crystal back at the packhouse? Why was he stalking me? ‘Maybe he’s going home. It’s on the way, remember?’ reminded Zea, my wolf. She would know better with her advanced senses. I stopped paying heed to him and sped up as much as possible. We crossed his father’s house where he lived with Crystal, but Stavros didn’t stop. My heart pounded

Stavros’s POV I reached the prison complex but didn’t have the heart to see Lena. Was she alive? I met a guard who had just gone off duty. “What’s the news of the war prisoner, Trenton?” I asked him. He gave me a grim look. “Lena Warrick?” “Yes. Is she alive?” He nodded, and I released the breath I was holding. “Beta Stavros, we’re waiting for further orders. The prisoner still hasn’t opened up and Gamma Leandros has ordered us to throw her in the dungeons to rot to death. We can’t follow his orders without consulting Alpha Zephyrus.” “Yes. Wait for Zephyrus’s orders. She’s his mate.” The guard gave me a horrified look as if this was news to him. “Oh, should I release her?” I shook my head and went inside to check up on Lena. I had almost gone halfway down the corridor when Trenton came rushing after me. “Alpha Zephyrus is here!” he announced, and I whirled and dashed out with him. Meeting Zephyrus was my top priority now before he disappeared again. I stopped at the sight of

Hazel’s POV I yanked my hand, wanting to flee, but he held on. I had no wish to witness his interaction with his mate. Didn’t he understand that? “Who asked you to wait? I didn’t agree to have dinner with you, Crystal. I told you I was busy.” My heart skipped a beat, and I gaped at him and then at Crystal. Did I misunderstand him?Crystal was almost in tears. “I can see how busy you are. Maybe you love playing games with other people’s feelings, right? I hate you, Stavros.” Stavros glared at her while I felt ill at ease. To some extent, I could relate to her. He had played with me as well. When I had fallen for him, hook, line, and sinker, he had rejected me. Now, when I was trying to move on, he wanted to pursue me. “I have never encouraged you, Crystal. You wanted me to help you settle down, and I did. I let you live in my father’s home, free of cost. Please stop begging for sympathy votes here. Everyone in Lucania knows me well. I don’t play with anyone’s feelings. I’m not inter
Last Updated : 2024-10-13Stavros - The Cursed Beta (Overpowered Series) Chapter Twenty-Three – Fighting The Attraction
Stavros’s POV “How can you change your mind overnight, Stavros? You allowed me to stay here. You agreed to sell your house to me and you helped me settle down in your pack. What changed now?” Crystal glared at Hazel as if she was to be blamed for my behavior. “Your behavior has forced me to change my mind. I refuse to sell my home to you. No one’s stopping you from staying in Lucania. Why don’t you find a place of your own? You can’t expect me to allow you into my life just because I’ve allowed you in my house.” I ignored the imploring look in her eyes when she looked at me. Obviously, it was fake since it changed to an accusatory one the moment she glanced Hazel’s way. “I’m sorry, Stavros. Please don’t throw me out. Where will I go?” I scoffed at her change of tactics. It wouldn’t work on me. “Go to the packhouse. I’m sure you’ll have a room if you serve the inmates. You can talk to Aunt Carla and choose the work you prefer: hunting, cooking, cleaning, laundry, etc.” She scoffed

Stavros’s POV She clung to me just like she used to and a shudder of longing went up my body. I tightened my hold on her, crushing her to myself. We fitted so perfectly! I didn’t want this moment to end. Could I kiss her? Would Dyson mind? I could hear Vyros’ purr as he kept prodding me on through the mind-link. ‘Kiss her, Stav! Mark her! Make her ours!’ I wished I could throw caution to the wind and mark her tonight! I longed for Hazel’s hugs in the last few years we were apart. She had stopped after I rejected her. But now I wanted to take this one step ahead. I wanted my first kiss. A car stopped outside, and footsteps echoed outside the main door. Before I could realize what was happening, the main door clicked open and Aunt Cassie appeared on the doorstep. A gasp of guilt escaped her and Hazel sprang off my lap with flushed cheeks. She dashed inside before I could stop her.“Oops! Sorry if I interrupted you. Please carry on,” said Aunt Cassie, whirling around to leave. I wa

Stavros’s POVAs we reached the summit, we saw the vast stretch of boreal forests below us, on the other side. “That’s Shadow Ridge, the territory of Alpha Leonardo and his Shadowridge Pack. He might have seen Lena. Let’s ask him,” said Leandros. “Leonardo Grenier?” Zephyrus asked. I knew him too. He was Zephyrus’s childhood friend who had fled with his family on the night of the attack. “Yes, the one and only!” confirmed Leandros. “Great! Let’s go.” “Wait! What’s that?” I saw a sudden flutter of activity from the boreal forests below us. Birds were flying in all directions in confusion. Even the animals escaped as if to save their lives by taking shelter elsewhere. We exchanged glances, expecting the worst. Was it an indication of danger? “I think I can see Leonardo’s pack members running below us,” said Leandros, and we watched them run haphazardly in panic. There was absolute mayhem all around us. The sun was about to set and we watched the sudden flurry of activities with a

Stavros’s POV The next morning, the pain was bearable, and Alexandrios agreed to discharge me only if I rested. “Total bedrest, bro. Follow the medicines and try to be in your wolf form to heal faster.” I listened absent-mindedly while my eyes scanned the room for Hazel. She wasn’t here yet. “How long must I rest?” Alexandrios checked my charts and smiled with satisfaction. “At least two weeks.”“Two weeks to heal an arm injury?” I couldn’t believe my ears. Alexandrios hesitated a little, and I somehow had the feeling he was hiding something from me.“We saved you from silver poisoning and eventual death, bro. Even after the corrosion, traces of silver were found in your body. We had to wash it out. So the only way to heal is to follow my advice.” I felt restless now. I had to see Hazel once. How will I stay for two weeks without seeing her?Leandros helped speed up the discharge formalities and soon we were on our way home. “Haven’t you informed Hazel yet?” I asked, at last, unabl

Stavros - The Cursed Beta (Overpowered Series) Epilogue
Hazel’s POVA Fortnight LaterI watched my mate in awe as he expertly tended to the twins. It had been two weeks since he returned, yet it still felt surreal. In these two weeks, Stavros has learned to take care of the pups better than me. We didn’t need my aunts at all. He has been a doting father and a caring mate to me, making up for his absence during childbirth.He explained his lineage to me, but it didn’t matter at all that he was a wind wolf. To me, he was just my mate.The treasures he brought for me were priceless, not for their worth, but because they were a blessing from his father. He told me everything about his ordeal in the Wild Wain Village. I was glad he found his closure.The doorbell rang, bringing me out of my reverie. “I’ll get it. Here, you can change Helios,” said Stavros.He walked out of the nursery while I tucked the twins into bed. I could hear the hushed whispers downstairs. Who could be here now? I was looking forward to spending some time with Stavros af
Stavros - The Cursed Beta (Overpowered Series) Chapter Eighty – The Best Gift Of My Life
Stavros’s POVShe released my mouth and grinned at the jaw-dropped look on my face. A million questions flitted across my head as she eased off my lap and started the car.“I don’t understand, Hazel. What happened to you? Umm, I mean how do you look so thin? Your featherweight too.”She chuckled as she drove on. “Oh, come on! I was never featherweight!”I watched her, feeling even more puzzled than before. “But what about the twins? I don’t understand how you reduced so much in a few days.”She laughed as if it was obvious. “I popped the twins out, silly. That’s why my tummy has shrunk!” My mouth hung with astonishment.What does “Popped” mean? Did she deliver my pups? If so, where were they, and why was she heading to the hospital?“Popped means gave birth. The day you were captured, I delivered the twins. Today I saw my gynecologist, Dr. Sylvia, who helped me give birth. It was a routine check-up.” My heart skipped a beat and I couldn’t help but say a silent prayer to the kind godde
Stavros - The Cursed Beta (Overpowered Series) Chapter Seventy-Nine - Returning To Hazel
Stavros’s POV“That’s sorted then. I’m sure you can sort the rest by yourselves. I’ll leave for home.” In my haste, I had completely forgotten about my father’s treasure and property.“Beta, can we discuss your father’s belongings, which are rightfully yours?” asked Delta Drupal.“Oh, yes. As I had mentioned earlier, I will give away everything to the pack members. You can use the treasure and the property for the welfare of the pack. Please prepare the legal documents and send them to me in Lucania for my signature.” I wanted the entire pack to know that my father’s precious possessions belonged to them. It wasn’t the Alpha’s personal property or wealth. I wouldn’t want anyone to take undue advantage of my father’s hard earned wealth.“Yes, Beta. I appreciate your kindness. Can we transform the mansion into our packhouse to shelter the members who are homeless?” asked Delta Drupal, eliciting cheers from the pack members. I knew I had made the right decision in choosing him as the Alp
Stavros - The Cursed Beta (Overpowered Series) Chapter Seventy-Eight – Saving My Father’s Pack
Stavros’s POVZephyrus looked relieved to see me. “Stop the battle. They’ve released Beta Stavros,” he yelled, striding towards me. Even Alpha Alexios barked orders to stop the fight and step back.I gazed all around me at the beheaded, blood-smeared bodies lying all around the snow-covered terrain. The ground was transformed into a sea of blood, and my heart sank with despair. This wasn’t what I wanted for my father’s pack.“Beta Stavros, please save our pack. Only fifty of us are alive now,” pleaded Zeta Athlon, dropping to his knees in front of me in a sea of blood. The injury across his chest looked fatal, and nothing could save him now. They should have revolted against Beta Velez and released me earlier. It would have stopped the fight.“It’s your doing, Zeta. The fight has ceased and everyone can return home. We will leave your territory right now,” said Alpha Alexios.“Please stay the night. We want to discuss an important topic tomorrow once everyone is well-rested. It’s cruc
Stavros - The Cursed Beta (Overpowered Series) Chapter Seventy-Seven – Negotiating With The Enemy
Stavros’s POVWith the sun up all day and night, keeping track of time within the room where I was locked was difficult. It was frustrating since I couldn’t escape with the tight security all around. The wind wolves were desperate to keep me here and could do anything to have their way. I didn’t fear for myself but for my family in Lucania.By now, I was sure their Zeta had reached Lucania to abduct Hazel. Had she given birth yet?I was restless as I paced the floor. There had to be a way to reach out to Hazel. I tried to mind-link with Hazel, but I was too far away to connect to her. Neither could I connect with Zephyrus this time, although we shared a good rapport with one another. Were the wind wolves blocking me out? With their unknown powers, there was a possibility that they were preventing me from reaching out for help. Did they possess psychic powers?After the cleansing ritual, I had completely severed all ties with Dyson. So even if I tried, I couldn’t connect with him.Ther
Stavros - The Cursed Beta (Overpowered Series) Chapter Seventy-Six - Were They Here For Me?
Hazel’s POVI opened my eyes to look around me. Yes, I was still alone at the hospital waiting to be discharged. I lost my senses after hearing the news of my mate’s capture. It devastated me, totally catching me unawares. I had expected Stavros to be injured, but never captured and taken away to some unknown enemy territory.I closed my eyes, unable to imagine what he was going through there. How could Zeph allow this to happen? Wasn’t it his duty to protect his Beta? Shouldn’t he rescue Stavros? I needed my phone to get some answers from Zephyrus. Somehow, I felt let down. All his life, Stavros had unconditionally stood by Zeph and now, when he was in the enemy territory, how could the pack members sit back and relax?I eased off the hospital bed to find out what was going on. I was supposed to get discharged today and planned to follow up with my doctor, but first, I needed to check up on the twins.Walking down to the nursery, I could feel the sympathetic glances thrown my way. Ob
Stavros - The Cursed Beta (Overpowered Series) Chapter Seventy-Five - The Missing Link
Stavros’s POVThe car sped along the highway that took me through the boreal forest, high Alpine, and rolling tundra until we reached a desolate village. I knew the place since I had come here before. It was the Wild Wain Village, the territory of the Wind Wolves. The place was cold, desolate, and uninhabitable, submerged in darkness because the clouds hanging low completely blocked the pale rays of the Midnight sun.Beta Velez drove on with a grim look on his face while I watched for road signs to guide me back. There was no way I would live here. After meeting their Alpha and knowing their motive, I would surely escape. I wanted to ask so many things but the gag prevented me from speaking.“Mmm!” I struggled to get it off and Beta Velez stopped the car and untied my mouth at last. I sputtered, gasping for air. My mouth felt parched but with my hands still tied up, I doubted I would get water to drink.“Why have you brought me here? I want to meet your Alpha.” He drove on in silence,
Stavros - The Cursed Beta (Overpowered Series) Chapter Seventy-Four - Where Is Stavros?
Hazel’s POVI tossed and turned all afternoon; the pain escalating every minute. After Stavros’s call, I fell asleep from exhaustion. He still hadn’t returned when I woke up, and neither did the others. Now the dull throbbing ache in my cervix turned excruciating, and I gritted my teeth to bear it.The door opened, and Aunt Carla entered my room. “Hazel, we can’t delay this anymore. We have to take you to the hospital. Your contractions have started.”I gave her a frantic look. I couldn’t deliver without Stavros! He promised he would be there with me all along. “Please call Stavros, Aunt Carla. I can’t do this alone.” Tears pooled in my eyes and streamed down my cheeks while she gave me a hesitant look.“Stavros and the others are very busy at the borders. The enemy has attacked us and they cannot return. You have us with you, Hazel. Don’t delay this. You’re risking your life and also that of your pups.” I sighed and nodded, agreeing with their wishes.“Fine, I’ll go to the hospital.”
Stavros - The Cursed Beta (Overpowered Series) Chapter Seventy-Three – Facing The Fierce Wind Wolves
Stavros’s POVHazel’s call disturbed me a lot as I waited for some update on the attackers. True to his promise, Orion called after forty minutes with a shocking update. I wondered how he located the enemy so fast. It only meant one thing. They hadn’t left but were lurking nearby instead.“Yes, Orion. Have you located the enemy?”“Yes, Stav. They’ve taken shelter at the foothills of Mount Richardson. I’m keeping a watch on their activities and it doesn’t look hopeful. I think they’re heading over to launch an attack on us again.”My jaws dropped with horror. I had no idea the enemy was so close. “Do you have any idea who they are and what they want?”“No, Stav, but they aren’t normal shifters like us. Their speed is the fastest I’ve ever seen. I can’t get near as they can sense anything nearby. They’ve killed two rogues trespassing nearby and five bears already.” I frowned at his description.“How do they look? Do they possess any typical physical traits?” Orion considered my question
