The Alpha King's Curse 76. Whispered Secrets
Jackson had never experienced anything as excruciatingly painful and devastating yet overwhelmingly satisfying. He had spent days fighting his beast while getting Layla through her heat. Every time he had latched onto her neck, something had got through the fog in his head to remind him that the bite would be a death sentence for Layla. It had been enough to make him let go, but only barely. He’d been too weak to bite her in the end anyway. This hadn’t been his first experience with an unmated female’s heat, but it was the first that had depleted all his energy completely. The first that he had felt himself. It wasn’t supposed to be like that. The men tended to the women for a day or two, rested for a couple of hours, and then returned to their full strength. They didn’t lie down for a whole day, unable to move. They didn’t feel the burn in their body as if they had bathed in a fire for days while their bodies were so thoroughly and shamelessly used. It was because he hadn’t mar
The Alpha King's Curse 77. Not Her Words
What the hell was going on?Though Jackson had said she had been in heat, he hadn’t explained how that was possible. And it didn’t explain any of the other things. Was all of it only happening because of all her time with Jackson? And if that was the case, did that mean she would turn into a werewolf like him?The first thought that floated through her mind was that she wouldn’t have to leave her baby behind if that happened. She could stay and be a real family with Jackson.But she pushed that thought aside. Despite all these odd thoughts and feelings for him, she didn't even like Jackson. And she had Brit to think about. She couldn’t abandon her sister. It would have been better if she left before this pregnancy was confirmed.She sucked in a breath as something else occurred to her. She was feeling completely fine now. No nausea, no fever... That had to mean that she had felt like that because of the heat. She wasn’t pregnant. She could leave with Dylan and not feel guilty about ta
The Alpha King's Curse 78. Changes
Jax strolled out of the packhouse with his hands in his pocket. He had to find the red wolf. It was the only way he would get answers. While Layla’s fight with her dual nature was expected, it didn’t usually happen until the half-breeds were older. And he hadn’t actually found any cases where the wolf side got so strong so quickly. It was the wolf he had seen in her eyes the whole time he had eased her through her heat. It was the wolf that had endured every impossible position, every frenzied thrust. It was the wolf that had kept pulling his head down to her neck so he could mark her. Things were not adding up. Layla had masked her scent from everyone but him. Since red wolves were so rare, not much was known about them, but he wondered what was really happening to his mate. Was she a half-blood? Or was she just unshifted? Maybe red wolf physiology was different, and they shifted when they were older. His heart started to pound as he stood on the top step outside the packhouse. I
The Alpha King's Curse 79. A Meeting In The Woods
It was late afternoon when Jackson left the bedroom again. He locked it this time because Layla was still slightly out of it. No, that was an understatement. She was a lot out of it. It hadn’t helped when she had watched the cuts on her knuckles healing right in front of their eyes.She didn’t look mentally prepared to accept what he had to tell her, and he didn’t want to say anything until he knew the whole truth. What if being the offspring of a red wolf was worse than being just a regular half-blood?What if it meant that everything was accelerated, and the Circle would put her down sooner than he expected? They wouldn’t give a shit if she was already pregnant with the heir they wanted.There was a shift in the air when he stepped outside again. He could feel the disappointment crashing down on him even though the warriors standing around outside the packhouse didn’t say a word.What could he have possibly done now?He felt a wave of anger in his direction and turned to watch Dyla
The Alpha King's Curse 80. His Redemption
“I have to go out for a little while.”Layla didn’t even look at him; he wasn’t sure she had even heard him. After going through her heat, they were supposed to be closer than before, but there was a canyon between them. “Layla?”She seemed to snap out of whatever she was thinking and gave him the fakest smile he had ever seen.“Hmm?”“I have to go out,” he repeated.Her eyes widened.“Oh, that’s today?”He frowned at her odd choice of words. He hadn’t mentioned anything about going out to her unless she was referring to his promise to take her to see her sister. Maybe that was what she needed to step out of it. “I mean, you’re going out today?” she asked.She perked up a little bit. After her mini-breakdown when she had beaten Amber up, she had become distant but completely calm. And her emotions had become difficult to read. It was almost as if she was channelling her red wolf traits and masking her feelings.After he spoke to Chase, he was taking her out of there. They could mak
The Alpha King's Curse 81. Leaving Him
This was happening. She was leaving. Layla paced the bedroom as she waited and tried not to think of who she was leaving behind. It was better to concentrate on what she had to do once she left, how she would stay ahead of Jackson if he tried to look for her and protect her sister. It was the only thing that mattered now. She didn’t recognise herself anymore, and that was all because she was in this strange place, living among beasts. Once she got away, she would return to normal. She would no longer hear things she wasn’t supposed to hear. She wouldn’t smell things she wasn’t supposed to smell. She wouldn’t fight people with such horrific violence. And she wouldn’t speak or behave like another person was thinking and speaking for her. That was terrifying. Her school counsellor would have had her locked up if this had happened when she had been in school. Could she trust Dylan with this? He wanted her gone but there was that nagging thought in the back of her mind that he was
The Alpha King's Curse 82. A Dead Heart
The car stopped at the Dark Moon pack gates and Jackson stepped out, ignoring Micah’s objections.Something wasn’t right, and it wasn’t the presence of the stupid pack camped in his forest—though their numbers were indeed a worry. It wasn’t Chase’s scouts and warriors watching them from the forest, either. ‘Alpha, we’re too exposed here. I’d feel better if you return to the car until we join the other team inside,’ Micah mindlinked as he came to stand beside him. The Head Warrior looked around and kept alert to any threats as he had trained his whole life to do. He shouldn’t have bothered. No one would attack him when they were fully aware he could sense them in their hiding places. They wouldn't be so obvious if they were going to ambush him. ‘Did Amber cause trouble when you threw her out?’ he asked Micah.Micah tensed and turned to look at him with his eyes lowered.‘You didn’t seem surprised that Dylan rushed back to deal with her,’ he stated, his suspicions growing as he watc
The Alpha King's Curse 83. Aftermath
It had been two weeks since Jackson had locked her in a room and disappeared.And she knew he had disappeared because Faith, the only person she had seen in those two weeks, had told her so.It was funny how nothing else seemed to matter just because her worry had taken her over. Her stronger hearing, eyesight, her messed up head... None of it.It didn’t matter that she was somehow able to sit by her window listening in to all the conversations outside just because she wanted to hear any information about Jackson.It didn’t matter that she had become so violent that she’d beat Amber up as if it was nothing. It didn’t matter that she could now see all the way to the gate and the guardhouse when she had seen nothing when she first arrived. It didn’t matter that she was living among murderers.It didn’t matter that when she sat by the window at night, she saw the glowing eyes in the woods. She heard the snarls. The growls. And she was becoming just like them just because she was living
