King’s POV

The quietness of the small town was a stark contrast to the chaos that had consumed me for the past two years. I leaned against the cool brick wall of the alley my eyes fixed on Gianna as she stood on the dimly lit street.

She looked… peaceful. Happy. Her new dark hair (that they used probably to throw us off, cute) framed her face and her lips curved into a soft smile as she waved to the man who walked away from her his hand lingering at his side as if he regretted letting hers go.

Then he turned, kissed her cheek and said something that made her smile. She looks free here. Smiling and grinning like she never had before.

I clenched my fists my nails digging into my palms as I fought the urge to storm across the street and rip him away from her. My chest burned with something primal, something I hadn’t felt in years.

Was this jealousy? Rage? Or the unbearable weight of guilt? Do I have any right to feel?

“Eric huh?” Liam muttered at my side his tone flat but laced wit

  • The Alpha Kings’ Curse Breaker   46: Love affair

    Third Person’s POVBlair pressed her lips together to stifle a moan as Jules moved above her his hands gripping her hips firmly. Every touch, every kiss, every thrust sent waves of pleasure rippling through her, but she couldn’t lose herself completely. Not when Gianna and the kids were asleep just a few doors down. Her nails raked across Jules’s back as she bit down on her lower lip her body arching into him. She realized she loved sex so much in the human world. She’s had enough one night stands but with Jules? He knows just about the right places. "God, Blair" Jules whispered and groaned at the same time with his voice low and strained as he fought to keep his own sounds quiet. "Shhh," she managed her voice shaky but amused. "You’re going to wake them." "I can’t help it" he murmured, his lips brushing her ear. "You drive me insane." Blair smirked and tugged him closer, her teeth grazing his shoulder as she whispered back. “Then keep going." The room was filled with the f

  • The Alpha Kings’ Curse Breaker   47: Playtime is over

    Gianna’s POVI tucked Kayden and Kate into bed, their soft curls tickling my fingers as I brushed them back. Kate clung tightly to her stuffed rabbit, her lips parted as she drifted into sleep while Kayden’s tiny hand rested protectively on her arm. My heart softened at the sight, a warmth filling me that I hadn’t felt in years. When it comes to my children, everything just brightens. I look forward to seeing them after a long stressful day. "Goodnight, my love” I whispered, leaning down to kiss their foreheads. I didn’t mean to linger but my body felt too heavy to move. The mattress dipped slightly as I sat on the edge of the bed, just for a moment, just to rest my tired eyes. Work had been exhausting, as always, and Tara's behavior only added to my weariness. She hadn’t been home since she asked if we were werewolves. I didn’t know whether she was avoiding us or if something bigger was at play. The questions weighed on me but the comfort of my children eased the tension in my

  • The Alpha Kings’ Curse Breaker   48: Game over

    Gianna’s POVBlair stormed out of the room, her red hair wild and her face a mask of hot fury. She was wearing nothing but a robe tied loosely around her waist and the flush on her cheeks made her look like a woman ready to go to war. I froze as she stepped into the living room, her glare sweeping over King, Tom, and Liam before landing on me. She already knew they were here but she looks thoroughly fucked. I heard someone growl angrily but I can’t tell who. “What the fuck is going on here?” she demanded her voice slicing through the tension in the room like a blade. Tom’s head took her in from head to feet, his jade green eyes narrowing as he took her in. Without a word, he started toward her his expression unreadable. Why?“Don’t you fucking dare” Blair hissed, taking a step back. “Where do you think you’re going?” Tom asked coldly, his voice as sharp as broken glass. “Anywhere but here, apparently. Isn’t that why you’re here? To drag us back to your godforsaken world?” Bl

  • The Alpha Kings’ Curse Breaker   49: Foolish organ

    Gianna’s POVThe SUV felt like a prison, a rolling cage trapping us on the way back to a place I swore I’d never return to. I sat stiffly clutching Kate and Kayden close to me. Blair was beside me, her jaw set in defiance though her eyes betrayed her exhaustion. Tom and Liam had packed all our belongings without a word, stuffing them into the back of the SUV like it was nothing. Like this was something already planned from the beginning. King drove, his eyes fixed on the road while Tom sat in the passenger seat and Liam lounged in the seat behind them, his gaze occasionally flicking to us like he was gauging our next move. But there was no point in fighting. King wasn’t going to let us go. We all knew that. I leaned back in my seat, the tension pulling at my muscles like a vice. My mind was too drained to even begin to process the whirlwind of the last few hours. It was so freaking exhausted. Tara’s absence, Blair’s argument with King, the children witnessing Tom and King for th

  • The Alpha Kings’ Curse Breaker   50: Figure

    Gianna’s POVI slipped out of the room as quietly as possible, carefully closing the door behind me. Kate stirred slightly but settled again when I tucked the blanket around her. My heart twisted at how peaceful they looked, oblivious to everything that had unfolded.The scent of food hit me as soon as I stepped into the hallway … eggs, something savory, and a faint hint of coffee. My stomach growled reminding me I hadn’t eaten since before everything went to hell. When I reached the kitchen, I froze in place. I should have expected the sight before me. Really. I was almost used to it two years ago. Damn. I can’t believe it’s been that long either!King stood at the stove, his back to me and very much shirtless. The muscles in his back rippled with every movement as he flipped the eggs, the light from the window casting shadows over the sharp planes of his body. Had he grown bigger or was it my eyes?I hated that my eyes lingered. And that new tattoo… black ink curled over his l

  • The Alpha Kings’ Curse Breaker   51: Feisty one

    King’s POVThe sound of laughter floated through the window, clear and bright but when I glanced outside, my gaze didn’t land on the kids. It landed on her. Like it always does even though I wasn’t searching for her. Gianna sat in the grass watching Kayden chase Kate around the small patch of wildflowers they’d found earlier. From a distance she looked like she was part of the scene, like she belonged in the calm, fleeting joy of the moment. But I could see it. Her fingers fidgeted with a blade of grass she’d plucked. Her shoulders, though relaxed to the untrained eye, were tense beneath the surface. Her smile was soft but fleeting and it didn’t reach her eyes. Her mind was somewhere else. Somewhere very far away too. I could feel it, even from here. She was worried. Angry. Tired. And though she tried to hide it, I knew her well enough to recognize the cracks in her mask. She was thinking about me. About why I’d brought her back. About what all of this meant. As if she did

  • The Alpha Kings’ Curse Breaker   52: A reader

    Gianna’s POVFinding Blair wasn’t hard. She was practically vibrating with anger and frustration, her energy thick and suffocating making everyone steer clear as I entered the pack house. This was my first time inside the pack house. I usually summon her with a stone but she wasn’t feeling good I had to come in. The judgmental eyes followed. She was in one of the communal areas pacing like a caged animal. Her hair was tied back in a messy bun, and she kept yanking at it as though trying to tear it from her scalp. I knew that look. “Don’t even think about it,” I said as I approached, my voice calm but firm. Blair whipped around, her glare sharp enough to cut. “Don’t think about what?” “Chopping your hair off again.” I raised a knowing brow at her. Her lips pressed into a thin line and for a moment, I thought she might explode. Then she crossed her arms and looked away. She never wanted to look weak no matter what. “Why not? It’s mine, and I hate it anyway. They all make fun

  • The Alpha Kings’ Curse Breaker   53: Sinking feeling

    Gianna’s POVI curled on the bed, wrapping the blanket tightly around myself trying to drown out the faint sounds of Kate and Kayden wreaking havoc somewhere downstairs. If King wanted us here so badly, he’d have to deal with everything that came with us. That included two unruly kids who had no intention of sparing his sanity. Good. I didn’t even want them to behave. If anything, I was rooting for them to break something valuable. Let him regret dragging us here. Every single second of it too. The room felt too quiet, though. Too still. I sat up, sighing and decided to make myself some creamy coffee. Maybe a hot drink and the book Zoya had lent me would help me calm the storm in my head. I padded barefoot to the small kitchenette and took my time brewing the coffee, savoring the warm, sweet aroma that filled the space. One thing about this place, there is always something to enjoy!As I poured it into a mug, ready to escape back to my window and my book I heard footsteps behind

  • The Alpha Kings’ Curse Breaker   Epilogue

    Gianna’s POVI lay in bed, a mysterious smile curling my lips as I traced lazy patterns over my swollen belly. Today was going to be fun. I had a wicked plan in mind and it is one that involved my mates kissing each other. Why? Because I could and because I wanted to see it. Because I was heavily pregnant and could hardly have sex these days and I needed entertainment. The massive master bedroom in our palace was built for all five of us all spacious and luxurious with an enormous bed that could fit us all. When the doors swung open and my mates strode in together their presence filling the room. I saw the instant recognition in their stormy gray eyes.They knew I was up to no good. King was the first to narrow his eyes, even the most perceptive. Keith cocked his head his lips twitching. "You look naughty as fuck right now. Someone needs to be fucked properly.” He drawled. Kane didn't say a word. He just walked straight toward me with eyes dark and kissed me like he needed me to

  • The Alpha Kings’ Curse Breaker   170: Right choice

    King’s POV The forest stretched endlessly before us with the dense canopy of trees swaying with the wind as we ran. The rhythmic pounding of our paws against the earth was the only sound between us all the steady and cool as if we could outrun everything including our past, our mistakes and the weight of our choices. The night air was cool against my fur all crisp with the scent of damp earth and pine but there was something else beneath it and something familiar and heavy. The past. It clung to us like a second skin, refusing to be left behind no matter how fast we ran. For hours we didn’t stop. None of us spoke and none of us hesitated just four wolves tearing through the undergrowth pushing forward and pushing past. It was only when the scent of humans drifted toward us (all the gasoline and the faintest trace of smoke civilization) that we knew we had reached the edge of the forest. We slowed, our breath heavy and finally came to a stop by the river. The water rushed past us

  • The Alpha Kings’ Curse Breaker   169: Breathing

    Gianna’s POVKing exhaled slowly his hands flexing at his sides as he stared out into the distance. The air was heavy with the aftermath of everything that had been said but there was something else too something restless in his stance and in the way his fingers curled and uncurled as if itching for release. “I need a run. I just… I need to clear my head.” he finally muttered and it was more to himself than to any of us.I didn’t stop him. I watched as he turned on his heel and strode out his movements sharp and deliberate. A moment later, the sound of his shift echoed through the still morning air bones snapping, fabric tearing and guttural growl ripping from his throat before he disappeared into the woods. I stood there for a moment, watching the place where he’d vanished then turned to the triplets. They all look a little bit sad and empty in their own kind of way. This night is taking so much to on them and they haven’t been able to sleep either. “I think you should go afte

  • The Alpha Kings’ Curse Breaker   168: Something new

    King’s POVI sat in the dimly lit living room with my elbows braced against my knees while staring at the unmoving body before me. My father lay sprawled across the cold floor, his once imposing figure reduced to nothing more than a battered and bloodied mess. His face was swollen, his lip split wide open and bruises blooming across his skin like a grotesque painting. His chest rose and fell faintly but I didn’t care if he woke up. I didn’t care if he ever fucking woke up again. I had used him as a punching bag landing blow after blow until my knuckles were raw until my arms felt like dead weights until my rage had burned itself out into an exhausted numbness. It wasn’t enough. It would never be enough. Not after everything he had taken from me. From us. A soft creak of the staircase broke the silence and I raised my head to see Gianna standing there. She hesitated for only a moment before stepping closer, her expression wavering between concern and understanding. Despite the blood

  • The Alpha Kings’ Curse Breaker   167: New reality

    Gianna’s POVI stood in the doorway watching them. Kane, Keith and Klaus stood like statues their bodies rigid with barely restrained emotions. Their father sat before them, hollowed out and empty with the years having stripped him of the power he once used to control them. And yet despite his frailty, he still held an unbearable weight over them, one built from years of pain and resentmet and abandonment. I had never seen them like this before. Silent. Still. As if they weren’t just men but fragments of something shattered and something that had been broken for so long they no longer knew how to piece themselves back together. I stepped inside and the sound of my footsteps was deafening in the quiet. They didn’t look at me. Not at first. Their eyes were locked onto the man who had shaped their entire existence. The man who had taken everything from them. But they weren’t just three lost boys standing in front of their father anymore. They were kings. Rulers who had built their

  • The Alpha Kings’ Curse Breaker   166: Full truth

    King’s POVThe air was extremely heavy right now and super thick with something unspoked and suffocating. I could still hear their voices echoing in my head with the weight of their rage pressing against my chest like an iron fist. I could feel their disappointment their pain, their disgust. And yet as much as I wanted to let that be the end of it, I knew it wasn’t. There was more. Something bigger. Something that would change everything. And I had to be the one to say it. What he had just told them was never my fucking concern. Why he faked his death is really none of my business. The thought made my throat feel tight. My father( the man I had loathed, hunted, dreamed of killing) sat there on the floor with his body slumped and his breaths uneven. His face was bruised his lip still bleeding from the force of my fists but he didn’t look at me. He didn’t look at any of us. He was avoiding the inevitable. Like a coward. Like he had always been. I clenched my fists at my sides,

  • The Alpha Kings’ Curse Breaker   165: Part truth

    Klaus’s POVThe room was deathly silent. The only sound was the faint and ragged breathing of the man before us the man we had spent our entire lives trying to forget. The man who had shaped us into kings, only to disappear leaving behind nothing but scars and questions. And now after all these years he was here. Sitting before us. All beaten up pathetically by an unknown man. Why would King even beat our father like this? Or he has made an enemy of him before he stepped down and faked his death? I need to know why this all happened and how he knew our father in the first place. King stood over him with his stance rigid and his hands clenched at his sides. He was barely holding himself back and I could feel his rage simmering beneath the surface all dark and lethal. He had already done enough damage judging by the blood smeared across our father’s face and the way his lip was split and the bruises forming along his jaw. And yet the bastard still had the audacity to smirk. It made

  • The Alpha Kings’ Curse Breaker   164: A tyrant

    Keith’s POVThe man who had molded us, who had shaped us into something more machine than wolves. The man who had taught us how to rule with fear and strike with precision, only to disappear and leave us to do it alone. The weight of his presence pressed down on my chest suffocating and inescapable. King’s voice cut through the silence. "You should sit down." Like hell. Sit down for what fucking reason right now? I barely registered the way my hands curled into fists and my nails biting into my palms. The air felt thick, heavy with tension so sharp it could cut. I could feel Kane and Klaus stiffen beside me their silence more telling than any outburst. None of us had ever been good at hiding our emotions. And right now? We were all drowning in them.“You have five seconds to explain before I rip his fucking lying throat throat out.” I let out a sharp and bitter laugh cause that is the only thing I can afford at this moment. Our father no, not our father. The man who used to b

  • The Alpha Kings’ Curse Breaker   163: Risen dead

    Kane’s POVThe night had been quiet and almost too quiet in my opinion. Unnaturally so. Keith, Kane and I sat in the living room with the tension between us thick and though none of us spoke about it. There is a kind of tension that you know nothing could work on for real. We weren’t fools. We all knew why the air was heavy and why Keith’s fingers tapped restlessly against his knee and why Kane had barely spoken and why my mind was cycling through every possible excuse to not think about what had happened just hours ago. Gianna had stayed with us tonight and even made us go rounds without getting tired. She’s got a mouth that I want to have doing so many things at the same time. She has chosen us tonight and made us feel like the kings we are. And yet none of us could shake the weight pressing down on our chests. Because we knew who she’d go to tomorrow and I didn’t hate her for it. But I hated that I wasn’t enough. That we weren't enough for her and hated Moon Goodess more for
