Esma lay in bed that night, reviewing the next day’s plan. She wished her head felt better. The talisman had taken a toll on her health. The witches and their magic didn’t suit the werewolves.
She had already taken the aspirin, but the throbbing was worse. She was perspiring, and the room seemed unbearably hot. Her heart felt heavy. Sleep have somehow left her eyelids.
She turned sidewards to look at the reason of her sleepless nights. The most tyrant, ruthless, merciless, a self-proclaimed wolf prince who thought he had no heart. The cursed Alpha. Her mate. As if in cue, the man snored lightly.
She set the alarm for the next day and continued admiring the beautiful features of her mate, until the sleep finally claimed her.
The bell rang and she was in the same forest standing in the front of a ten years old boy with ocean blue eyes and

Esma’s pov The first thing that I was aware was something heavy draped over my shoulders. It constricted my movements. The second thing that I slowly became aware of was a wall behind me. My eyelids seemed to be too heavy to be lifted. When I tried to move, a wave of pain travelled through my body, forcing a whimper out of my lips. I instantly felt like thousand needles were pricked on my body simultaneously. “Esma,” a deep, manly voice rumbled over me. it took me some moment before I recognized the owner of the voice. I wanted to open my eyes to look at his beautiful face but it seemed like a tedious job for me. “Are you awake?” the same voice whispered, this time there was an urgency in his voice. I was only capable of whimpering in pain. My whole body seemed to be in some kind of post-burn-condition. the pain was unbearable. It made me numb. “Esma.” His voice was gentle enough to be mistaken as the chime of the wind, “Are y
THE CURSED ALPHA Tied for forever
Esma’s pov I quickly sprinted to the bathroom to freshen up. I glared at my reflection in the mirror and saying that I was looking like hell would be an understatement. What really shocked me was there was some kind of tattoo formed just above my left breast, near my collar bone. I am usually pale all the time but this… this is the first time I could see my veins of my chest. It was some kind of tattoo; the veins were swirled in the beautiful manner forming a crescent moon. It looked beautiful at the first sight. But I have never seen this kind of tattoo on my mother or any other she-wolf. Maybe it was because I don’t bear his mark. I drank his blood, tying myself with him, maybe this was because of his blood. He was not some normal wolf on the first place. He was a legend. My mate was a legend, I shake my head; I am not regretting anything. I went downstairs and found no one except him. Reed was trying to make something in the
THE CURSED ALPHA The Tease
Reed’s eyes found me instantly as he entered in the house. I could already feel the possessiveness leaking through the mate bond. I had to be extra careful around him now. He could know what I think in my head.“I guess this is my call to leave.” Diana interrupted our eye-battle. I didn’t notice, we were literally eye-fucking each other.He walked towards me slowly. His eyes were captivating and rich with the unknown emotion, he stood opposite to me so that we were touching toe to toe.He lifted his right hand and put the loose strand of hair behind my ear. He traced my cheeks with the tip of his fingers, sending strange sensations all through my body. His finger lingered for a second long before he retraced his hand back to his pocket.“Did you consider what I asked you about today’s morning?” he asked with so much hope and for a second I regretted not to think about it.Does he miss me?
THE CURSED ALPHA The Date
“It’s okay Emmy, open the door, he is not going to eat you.” Diana said, rolling her eyes. I narrowed my eyes, surely August is a bad influence on her. she is being extra cocky and mouthier. Or maybe August just bring her inner side out. Nodding frantically, I took a deep breath and proceeded to open the door. Reed was standing right in front of me wearing a denim shirt and jeans. All black. And a red jacket matching my attire. His hairs were messy and tousled as usual and he wore a most beautiful smile on his face as he looked at me. Honestly, I was stars struck at how captivating he looked. My heart thudded and my hands shakes in anticipation as he too looked at me from head to toe. I bit my lip and try not to shy away as he looked at me because his eyes had the direct hotline with my over-beating heart. I was kind of jealous as well. He could look devilishly handsome just in few minutes even in rug and here I am sitting whole day doing ever
THE CURSED ALPHA Elsa?
He apologized. He gave me the explanation. I should be satisfied and I should forgive him. but the thing is I never blamed him.“You will not tell me again if I ask you where we are heading right?” I asked and he chuckled deeply. Suddenly he drove the car away from the highway towards the barren road and I looked at him suspiciously.“Is this the time when you are going to kill me and bury me somewhere.” I tried to joke but with him I can’t say anything. He is so… unpredictable.“Oh god, now you knew my plan.” He said and looked at me smiling.He is joking, phew.We drove and I know where he was taking me, I have visited this place just a month ago. The no-man’s land. But why he was taking me here?He stopped the car when we covered the considerable distance and I was sure there was no sign of human settlements. He opened the door and stretched
THE CURSED ALPHA Hot And Bothered
Esma’s pov “Thank you for tonight Reed. I enjoyed a lot and I mean it.” I said as we were heading back to our pack. Reed smiled at me once before looking at the road again. He looked so much adorable when he concentrated, he didn’t notice but whenever he is deep in thoughts, he bit his lip and this make me bothered for some unknown reason. As if in cue, he looked in my direction and caught me staring at him and smiled his slow sexy smile which could melt the coldest of the hearts. “Me too.” He said after a pause. “I don’t remember when I enjoyed this much last time.” He said and pulled my hand over his mouth and placed a brief kiss over it. We were still an hour ride away from my pack so I switched on the radio. He looked at me challengingly and I raised my eye-brows in the same manner. I quickly adjusted it to my favorite radio station and the lyrics of Beyoncé filled the car. es
THE CURSED ALPHA Threat... again?
We drove past the last checkpoint before our pack and I could feel something was not right. My wolf was anxious and restless. She was not like her usual self and this make me more nervous. I tried to reach her but she didn’t say anything. “What happened?” Reed asked seeing my expressions. He also looked anxious but tried not to show it on the surface. “I don’t know something is off.” I said and as soon the words escaped my lips something hits our wind shield of the car. Reed turned the steering wheel so fast our car lost the balance and topples several times before hitting a large tree. It happened so fast, one minute we were driving on the road and in the next we were hit by the tree alongside the road. My ears rings like someone had put them near the thousand bells. I tried to concentrate on my surrounding before everything settles in my head. “Reed?” I asked lowly. I tried to move and turned so that I could see where he was but it was like the whol
THE CURSED ALPHA Marking Truth
I stepped out from my closet in Pjs. Diana left shortly after she was fully assured that I was okay, she was acting more worried and concerned and for a strange reason, I am feeling like she was not telling me the whole truth. She had done it before, when she didn’t tell me about Reed’s past. Reed was already waiting for me in my bed wearing August’s spare clothes, although they were tight for him, he looked so cute in his clothes. For a moment I felt self-conscious under his fervent gaze, he studied me from head to toe and my stomach dips in anticipation. His eyes darkened as I make my way to the bed. Although he was sitting calmly, there was a storm brewing inside him. his racing heart was the proof that I was responsible to have this kind of effect on him. He was sitting in the bed patiently for me to join him. I bit my lip and walked along the edge of the bed. His eyes never left mine and just when I reached my side of the bed, he pulled my hand so fast t

I washed my face several time trying to cool down my anger and closed my eyes. You are afraid Reed. Words of moon goddess rings in my head again and again.

THE CURSED ALPHA I Love You
“WHAT?” August asked-shouted and I slammed my hand on his mouth to shut him up immediately.“Can’s you keep your tone low for a second?” I removed my hand from his face and sat back on my chair. It was already half past twelve so technically it was morning. Diana was still unconscious. I walked in the kitchen to prepare some coffee.August followed me silently, I looked at him from the corner of my eye, he was equally restless. I put the coffee on the stove and turned to face him.“When did you think parents will return?” I asked trying to change the topic. He didn’t look at me, his eyes fixed on the stove as if he was in the deep thoughts.“August?” I snapped my fingers in front of him and he finally acknowledged my presence.“Huh? I don’t know, we have a house in the city, it is already late, they must have stayed there only.” He said and
THE CURSED ALPHA Final Lead
I closed the door behind me as soon as I entered the house. My eyes were searching for the only person who was responsible for all of it.I quickly sprinted in the direction of kitchen; August’s scent was the most prominent there.“Why did you do this to me?” I bellowed. August looked perplexed by my sudden outbreak; his face was covered in confusion. He must have noticed my swelled eyes and tears-stained cheeks because in the next moment he was by my side.“What happened Emmy?” he asked and I know he was purely intact from the whole situation.“Where is Diana?” I asked instead and he jolted back a little hearing the anger and hatred in my voice.“She has locked herself in her room since morning. I tired to asked her but she only asked me to go away.” He said and his face fall momentarily.As soon the words were out of his mouth, I was quick on my heels and knocked on the door. august sil
THE CURSED ALPHA GoodBye
Esma’s povI quickly transformed in my wolf as soon as Reed left me alone in the house. My wolf was bugging me whole day to let loose and let her run. It has been ages since I changed into my wolf.Last time I transformed in my wolf it was when I showed it to Reed on the night when he took me out for our date. I quickly piled off my clothes and put them in a carry bag and soon let my wolf took over my senses.The bones twisted, turned and snapped and in the next second, I was standing in all four. Elsa let an ear-piercing howl and with that we ran in the direction of the forest. My paws rugged through the ground as I pushed myself more and more to run faster.Other wolves bowed in front of me as soon as they sensed me. I didn’t stop and continued running deeper into the forest till I reached the borders. Suddenly Elsa stopped on the tracks and started sniffing around. Her ears straightened and she growled lowly as if sensing s
THE CURSED ALPHA Punishments
“What did you just say?” Reed asked and I could already feel he was trying to control his anger, trying not lose his calm but failing miserably.“I…” I gulped soundly and looked around for someone, anyone for my rescue.Fuck, not Diana, not even August.“I met Hecate last night.” I said and pursed my lips. I don’t know why but for some reason he intimidates me so much. Suddenly I felt like I was standing in a principal’s office and he was not my mate but the old grumpy teacher.He closes his eyes and tried to take deep breaths. “I am not grumpy.” he grumbled and suddenly I started giggling. He looked annoyed and… embarrassed.I giggled and soon they turned into full-on hysterical laughs. He didn’t say anything then, just kept looking at me amusingly.“What did you find amusing?” he asked and I could feel he was also trying to supress his smile.
THE CURSED ALPHA Surprise Visit
“What are you doing here Esma?” A very familiar voice interrupted my train of thoughts. I turned to the owner of the voice which revealed to be none other than that of Dumeny.He looked amused and happy at the same time. I must be clutching the door knob with so much force because in the next moment Dumeny walked towards me and touched my hand to release it.Immediately the door opened and a pair of hands wrapped around my waist trying to pull me again to the bedroom.“No running, kitten.” Reed chuckled and pulled me more towards him but stopped as soon his eyes collided with Dumeny’s and finally set on his hand on mine.Without wasting any second I lose my hand from his hold and chuckled nervously.“Hey Dumeny. What a surprise visit. Huh?” I said and rubbed my neck nervously. The two alphas were staring into each other’s eyes, demanding authority and trying to prove the
THE CURSED ALPHA Begin Where left Off
I woke up as the sun shined down at my face from the window. My eyes blinking the harshness of the bright sun away and trying to focus. Reed’s arms were wrapped around me. His hands clutching my waist, keeping my bottom close to his and his other hand under my head acting as a pillow. His scent surrounded me. I admired his features. He is so sexy in his sleep. I gently put my hand on his wrist and as slowly as carefully I could, tried to lift and remove it. I had succeeded halfway when his hand grabbed mine and turned me over, pulling down underneath himself and climbing on top of me. I gasped in surprise, barely managing to hold my scream. “What?” I whispered as my eyes widened and shot up to look at his beautiful face. “Why did you wake me up?” Reed growled in a sleepy voice and dropped his face in my neck, leaving a trail of kisses from the blade of my shoulder to the insides of my neck. I twitched instantly, the ticklish feeling of
THE CURSED ALPHA More Secrets
“You have to be more specific when telling the directions.” I said reaching the same cliff where I first met her, few days ago. So much have happened since then.I have seen Reed’s past, his life, his struggles and his curse. We were marked now. We were officially mates now. I knew she was already here as I could sense her. she was hiding in the woods. But this time she was alone.“I don’t want unwanted arrivals.” Hecate said emerging from the woods. Her eyes were the first thing that capture my attention whenever we meet. They were still purple and I sighed in relief internally. Her gaze collided with me and for some reason I could sense her smile.“You have seen it haven’t you?” she asked. I tried my best to look smug and obvious but I know she was a witch and probably seen it before meeting me here.“Why did you send the human on my territory? And that to severely injured. You could send me th
