The Alpha Kings’ Curse Breaker 37: Changing game
Gianna’s POV A smile stretched across my face as sooon as I woke up, the kind I hadn’t worn in years. They were here. They were safe. I’d done it. Despite all the chaos and pain I’d brought them into this world. My two beautiful babies. Blair was curled up on a small couch in the corner of the hut looking utterly drained. Her head lolled to one side and her arms were crossed over her chest as though even in her sleep she was standing guard. She had been my rock through this. I owed her more than I could ever repay. I’m so glad we became friends in the first place. I glanced around the room still smiling taking in the soft glow of the morning light filtering through the thin curtains. It was a rare moment of peace. And yet, as quickly as that peace came it shattered. The smile faded. My chest tightened. I shot out of bed the ache in my body from the birth barely registering as I stumbled toward the crib. My heart thundered in my chest until I saw them. my babies were

Gianna’s POVThe night was silent except for the sound of our breathing and the faint rustle of leaves in the breeze. Liam and Tom had given us precise instructions: run east until we reached the edge of the pack’s territory then follow the river to a small town where they would find us once things calmed down. The plan was clear but my gut told me I wasn’t coming back. That once I step out of this pack, I’m never turning back around. As soon as we stepped out of the hut the babies snugly tied against Blair and me, I felt the weight of my decision. This was it. I glanced at Blair her hoodie pulled low over her face to shield her from the cold night air. Her eyes scanned the hut and the surrounding clearing like she was trying to memorize every detail. It hit me then that this place meant something to her. She had built memories here a sense of safety maybe even belonging. She grew up her whole life around here. “Blair” I said softly, hesitating. “You don’t have to come with me.

Gianna’s POVKane’s golden eyes burned into mine as he shifted back into his human form muscles rippling under his tanned skin. The wild dangerous aura that surrounded him in wolf form didn’t dissipate but it grew stronger. His jaw clenched as he took a step closer completely unbothered by his nakedness. I understand why I fell in love with them. They are too handsome and their looks were really deceiving. I tried to keep my breathing steady but the pull of the dormant mating bond flared the moment his gaze locked on mine. It felt like a live wire sparking and crackling between us. My heart raced but not just in fear but with something much more dangerous. I should be able to turn off my feelings by now. Blair stood frozen behind me clutching the babies tightly to her chest. I had to act fast. Kane wasn’t the type to hesitate. Backup could arrive any moment and once it did our chances of escape would disappear. “Gianna” Kane said his voice low, almost tender which somehow made

Gianna’s POVThe human world was harsher than I’d expected. The lights never dimmed and the noise never stopped and the air felt sharp and cold compared to the thick warmth of the Mystical Plane. Blair and I found a small shabby motel on the edge of town barely a place to call shelter but it was enough for now. We could hide in there for a day or weeks. The first thing we did was shower and it felt like washing away layers of fear and exhaustion. Blair held one baby while I bathed the other our laughter soft but genuine for the first time in what felt like forever. I fed the babies next and for the first time since their birth they seemed truly peaceful. They slept like the world hadn’t changed. Blair ever the practical one had thought ahead and brought money from her stash though she never said how much or how she got it. "It’s not forever" she told me as we tucked the babies into the motel’s only crib, which we'd cobbled together from pillows and blankets. “Just until we figure

Gianna’s POVSix months had passed and life in the human world was starting to feel…manageable. Not easy not perfect but something I could live with. I had finally found a job at a high-end restaurant. The pay wasn’t as good as Blair’s at the gym, but it was steady and the tips were more than I’d expected. The uniform was stiff and formal but it felt good to have somewhere to go every day. Something to contribute. Blair worked longer hours than I did, her reputation as a tough but kind instructor spreading quickly. The gym adored her and so did the kids she trained. She would come home exhausted but grinning her face lighting up whenever the babies toddled over to greet her. And the babies —Kayden and Kate— had grown into tiny bundles of energy. They had learned how to walk, though they stumbled more often than not and their laughter filled every corner of our small apartment. Their first words had come quickly, almost too quickly. “Mama” “Bear” and hilariously “boob” were their

Gianna’s POVTwo years later, we had rebuilt our lives in another country. The move hadn’t been easy but staying in the same place after that eerie encounter was a risk I wasn’t willing to take. I told Blair we had to leave and though she hesitated, reluctant to give up the routine and security she’d built for herself and the kids, she agreed. We had no other choice. Tara was the wildcard. Her mother overdosed shortly after the park incident and with no one else to turn t she begged us to take her with us. I wasn’t sure it was a good idea. Adding a human to our already delicate situation felt dangerous. But Blair, ever the soft spot for lost causes thought it would do more harm to leave her behind. “She’s already seen too much,” Blair had said. “If she wanted to betray us she could have done it back there. Letting her come might actually make things easier.” So Tara came. It wasn’t easy at all. Everything we’d built to start fresh somewhere else but it turned out to be the best

Gianna’s POVBlair’s laughter rang out in the apartment as she twirled in front of the mirror showing off a figure-hugging dress that screamed confidence. Her date Jules, leaned against the doorway with a smug grin, his tailored black shirt rolled up at the sleeves revealing strong forearms. He works out just fine. He was undeniably handsome… too handsome, really and he knew it. That doesn’t stop him from wanting my girl. “Alright, do we look hot or do we look HOT?” Blair asked spinning on her heels. Yeah don’t ask how she’s adopted the girly life whenever she feels like. I cannot walk with heels for more than an hour but she’s mastered it so bad. “You both look fine. Now can I have some quiet tonight?” I teased giving Jules a pointed look. “Some of us would like to sleep without how do I put this? Audible distractions.” “Jealousy doesn’t suit you, G. But don’t worry. We’ll try to keep it down. Try.” Blair cackled clearly unbothered.I rolled my eyes but I couldn’t hide my smil

Gianna’s POVI was clearing off a table my mind preoccupied with thoughts of Kayden and Kate’s latest antics that really shook me when I saw Tara walk in. It wasn’t her walking in that got my attention. Her movement did. She usually had a spring in her step and a bright smile but today she looked pale and nervous her arms crossed tightly over her chest. Why didn’t I like that look at all. “Hey, Tara. What’s wrong?” I frowned wiping my hands on my apron as I made my way over to her.“Can we talk?” She glanced around as if making sure no one else was listening. “Of course.” I led her to the back where the staff took their breaks and sat down beside her. “What happened?” Tara hesitated, biting her lip. “I… I met this kid at school. He was… weird, you know? He kept saying things about werewolves being real.” Her voice dropped to a whisper. “He said his dad was one.” “And what did you say to him?” My heart plummeted a cold rush of fear tightening my chest. “I laughed it off at firs

The Alpha Kings’ Curse Breaker 142: Shameless
Gianna’s POVI squeal when he picks me up, leaving me no choice but to wrap my legs around his waist. Our skin connects, and my nipples rub against his hard pecs the light chest hair causing friction and I moan. My nails dig into his flexed forearm as he yanks my mouth to his, kissing away my protests until I melt in his embrace.His hand grips the back of my neck tightly so I can’t pull away when I run out of air as he tastes my lips and every corner of my mouth with his tongue.“You’re so goddamn sweet, Gianna.” He groans against my lips before diving in again. “I can’t decide if I love the taste of your kisses or your tight pussy more.” He bite on my neck as he said that. Cool air caresses my naked back but the heat from king’s skin keeps me warm and his kisses leave me drowning that I almost forget about the oblivious audience. Wrapped in his arms as i no longer seem to care. Only a single need remains on my mind.LPlease fuck me, King” I whisper, licking his bottom lip before I
The Alpha Kings’ Curse Breaker 141: Long awaited

His question, lingering in the air between us as his gaze reverberates down my body, causing goosebumps to rise on my skin.Unfiltered fantasies that I buried in a dark corner after the first night he uttered it to me, rises to the forefront and assaults me once more. My traitorous pussy becomes slick when I imagine the nights I spent alone in my bed, touching myself to the thought of him calling me his whore.I shouldn’t want a man to call me that, right?It’s demeaning and humiliating.Then why does it arouse me so much? Yet I can’t deny the dirtiness, forbiddenness and tabooness behind it that thrills and pleases the inner dirty girl inside me.As if King can hear my inner battle and torment over my confusing feelings, his gaze softens and he bends. His breath flutters my hair as he whispers in my ear in that voice that could make even the nun want to be bad. “It’s jus
The Alpha Kings’ Curse Breaker 140: Never letting go
King’s POVI realized with deep regret that I couldn’t let her leave. Not like this. There is just something about Gianna that I cannot stay away from. Even knowing she was pregnant for some men out there. My mortal enemies. Not when she had just told me something that shattered every last piece of control I had left. Not when I had just learned that she had carried their children and another inside her and yet still stood before me, looking like she belonged to me. The moment she turned, I moved. My body acted before my mind could catch up before logic or reason could step in and tell me to let her go. My hand shout out, grabbing her wrist and yanking her back so hard she gasped, stumbling into my chest. I felt the sharp inhale she took, felt the way her body tensed at the sudden proximity and at the force of my grip and for a second just a second uncertainty flashed in her eyes. With something I used to relish. Fear. But something else was there too. Something wild. Something
The Alpha Kings’ Curse Breaker 139: Pregnant again
Gianna’s POVThe second Gianna’s hands pressed against my chest, something inside me stilled. I could feel the hesitation in her touch, the unsteady tremble of her fingers as if she was battling something deep within her. She wasn’t shoving me away like she should have like she would have if she truly wanted distance between us. No, she was pressing against me but she wasn’t pushing. I could still feel the heat of her, the way her body molded so perfectly against mine as if it had never been apart from me. It was a cruel reminder that no matter how much time had passed, no matter how much I wanted to convince myself otherwise she was still mine. And yet, she had gone back to them The realization burned in my chest like acid but I refused to dwell on it. Not when she was still right here. Not when I could see her and really see her for the first time in so long. She looked different. Healthier. Stronger. There was a glow to her skin that hadn’t been there before, a softness in
The Alpha Kings’ Curse Breaker 138: Dangerous game
Gianna’s POVEach step felt like dragging a mountain behind me. The air was thick, pressing down on my shoulders and making my legs heavier than they had ever been. My heartbeat echoed in my ears filled with an unease i couldn’t shake. I was walking straight into the lion’s den, knowing full well that I might not make a difference. That my words might hold no weight. That I could be wasting my time and my breath and my energy. But i had to try. I had to try for my mates. For my children. For the kingdom that was now mine to protect. I needed to know that at the end of this, I had done everything I could to prevent whatever chaos King had planned. The forest around me was familiar in a way that made my chest ache. This was where I had trained and where I had bled and where I had broken and rebuilt myself. And as soon as I stepped closer to the clearing, his scent hit me like a wave. It wrapped around me through my lungs and sank into my bones. That deep and intoxicating scent of ea
The Alpha Kings’ Curse Breaker 137: Berserk King
Gianna’s POV“Stay as far away from the pack as possible” I said, my voice firm as I stood before my mates sith my arms crossed in defiance. Keith’s jaw tensed as his stormy gray eyes bore into mine. “You expect us to let you walk into his territory alone?” His voice was low, tight with anger but underneath it, I heard something else worry. I held his gaze, unwavering. “I expect you to trust me.” Klaus exhaled sharply, his hands clenched at his sides as if he were fighting the urge to grab me and shake some sense into me. I know they are using the most of their willpower not to throw away the ridiculous idea. It is starting to sound ridiculous to me too. “That’s not the damn point, Gianna” he snapped. “King isn’t just some fool. He’s dangerous. And you’re walking straight into his den.” “I know that” I said, forcing myself to stay calm. “But he won’t hurt me. That’s not his goal.” Kane had been silent this whole time, standing a little apart from his brothers, watching me w
The Alpha Kings’ Curse Breaker 136: Changed plans
Gianna’s POVThe weight of their gazes felt like a noose tightening around my throat. I knew this confrontation was inevitable but i had hoped to be long gone before they woke up. The morning air was crisp yet the tension between us made it suffocating. This wasn’t how the morning was supposed to be. This was not part of the plan and I never expected them to feel the need to come find me so early in the morning. It’s still dark outside so why the hell are they awake ready?I squared my shoulders, gripping the hilt of the dagger strapped to my thigh not as a threat but to ground myself. My steps were slow but deliberate as I moved forward. They didn’t speak. Not at first. They just watched me, their stormy eyes filled with questions I wasn’t sure I was ready to answer. It was Klaus who broke the silence first. His voice was eerily calm but I knew better than to be fooled by it. "Going somewhere, Gianna?" My lips parted but no words came. He already knew the answer. They all did.
The Alpha Kings’ Curse Breaker 135: Caught
Gianna’s POVThe room was cloaked in silence, the only sound the slow, rhythmic breathing of Keith beside me. The warmth of his body still lingered on my skin, a stark contrast to the cool air creeping in from the windows. I should have stayed in bed, let myself bask in the rare peace that had settled over me but my mind wouldn’t let me. It was time. I slipped out from beneath the covers, careful not to wake him. My body hummed with energy, more awake than it had been in weeks, yet my chest felt unbearably heavy. Tonight had been a distraction, a beautiful, intoxicating escape from the weight of reality. But reality was waiting for me, lurking in the shadows of the decisions I could no longer avoid. Padding silently to my room, I let out a slow breath, gathering my thoughts. I had to do this. I had to stop King before he set his plan into motion. Because whatever he was planning it wouldn’t just affect my mates. It wouldn’t just affect me. It would affect my children and I could n
The Alpha Kings’ Curse Breaker 134: An escape
Gianna’s POVThe night stretched on, silent and heavy, but sleep refused to come. I lay in bed, staring at the ceiling, my thoughts tangled in a web of uncertainties. No matter how many times I turned over, no matter how much I tried to push everything away, my mind refused to quiet. I wasn’t supposed to be awake I wasn't supposed to feel this restless but I did. Every part of me buzzed with anticipation, a gnawing sense of something coming. Something is indeed coming. It has already started coming anyways. I let out a slow breath, running a hand through my hair before finally sitting up. Staying in this room wasn’t an option. Not tonight. I needed comfort. I needed warmth. And I knew exactly where to find it. Slipping out of bed, I padded down the dimly lit hallways, my heart beating steadily as I made my way to Keith’s room. His was the only bedroom I felt completely at ease in. Maybe it was because I knew for a fact that no woman had ever slept there before me. Not even Cath
