Gianna’s POV

We turned back toward the cabin the weight of our conversation still very heavy between us. I didn’t even realize how close King had gotten until the rough bark of a tree trunk pressed into my back.

I was deep in my thought to notice. My breath caught as he loomed over me, his hands braced on either side of my head, caging me in.

"King," I started but the word barely left my lips before his eyes dark as a storm, pinned me in place.

His body pressed into mine, every hard, muscular line of him molding against me. I could feel his heat, his power, the tension radiating from him like a live wire. Just as it had yesterday.

My heartbeat thundered in my ears, a mix of anticipation and anger coiling in my chest. He wasn’t just close, he was suffocatingly close the air between us thick and charged. With so much hatred and lust.

Hatred that we wanted each other the way we do.

His gaze dropped to my lips, lingering there as if they held some kind of answer he was desperate t

  • The Alpha Kings’ Curse Breaker   64: Deal with them

    Gianna’s POVThe moment I opened the cabin door, I froze in the entryway greeted by a scene that could only be described as chaos. Blair and Liam stood at the kitchen counter, their hands buried in what looked like dough while Kayden and Kate were running circles around them, tossing flour like snowflakes. The air smelled faintly of sugar and burnt... something. Flour covered every surface starting from the counters, the floor, even the walls in some places. It clung to their clothes, hair, and faces like they’d been in a war zone. My kids looked like tiny ghosts, grinning ear to ear as they darted around the room. Behind me, King let out a low, guttural growl that only I could hear. It vibrated down my spine, making me shiver. It was deep in my mouth earlier. That growl. “That,” he muttered under his breath, “is why I hate people being in my space.” I glanced back at him, his jaw tight and his eyes simmering with barely contained irritation. For a split second, I almost pitie

  • The Alpha Kings’ Curse Breaker   65: Fresh air

    King’s POVThe cabin was unusually quiet save for the occasional crackle of the fireplace and the low murmur of voices as Liam, Tom, and I sat at the small dining table. The air felt heavy and loaded with the kind of tension that had become second nature over the years. The three of us were huddled close, the weight of our decades long plan pressing down on us as we spoke in hushed tones."The Alpha Kings are already sniffing where they shouldn’t," Liam said, his sharp blue eyes flicking toward me. "If we don’t move quickly, this whole thing is going to fall apart." I leaned back in my chair, my arms crossed over my chest. "It’s not that simple," I muttered, my voice tighter than I intended. "They aren’t just sniffing. They’re digging. They’re calculating. They’ve spent their lives perfecting the art of control." Tom, sitting to my right rubbed a hand over his stubbled jaw his expression unreadable. He has been so tired lately I wonder what is going on with him. “This thing we’v

    Gianna’s POVBlair and I walked deeper into the woods. Leaves crunched beneath our boots, the only sound breaking the heavy silence between us. I glanced at her out of the corner of my eye already bracing for her reaction to what I was about to tell her. Blair was never one to take betrayal lightly and this wasn’t just a betrayal, it was a storm brewing on every front. Ugh, I don’t want to be the one to tell her. "You’re awfully quiet.” she said finally breaking the silence. Her sharp green eyes flicked toward me, her tone laced with suspicion. "What’s going on?" I hesitated for a moment, my gaze fixed on the path ahead. Here goes nothing I guess. “A lot.” I admitted, my voice quieter than I intended. "I’ve been trying to figure out how to tell you." Blair stopped walking, forcing me to turn and face her. Her expression was unreadable, but the tension in her posture said everything. “Spill it, G. All. Of. It." I sighed, running a hand through my hair. There was no easy way

    Gianna’s POVThe rogue’s smirk lingered as he stepped closer to the edge of the river, his confidence stinking even with the rushing water between us. I stood my ground, every muscle in my body coiled tight ready for whatever he was planning. Blair shifted behind me, her growl a low, steady warning. They are a threat. “Careful.” He said, raising a hand as if to placate us. “I’m not here to pick a fight. At least, not yet.” His companion remained in wolf form, pacing just behind him like a shadow its glowing eyes trained on Blair. That one looks like bad news. “You’re trespassing.” I said, my voice firm and even despite the fear in me. “Give us one good reason why we shouldn’t rip you apart right now.” The rogue laughed at that the sound grating that set my teeth on edge. “You could try, sweetheart, but I think you’ll want to hear what I have to say first.” Blair’s growl deepened, but I held up a hand, signaling her to wait. She is already angry all her decisions won’t make s

  • The Alpha Kings’ Curse Breaker   68: Trustworthy rogue

    Gianna’s POVThe night dragged on with every second stretching into eternity while I lay on my bed staring at the ceiling. The rogue’s words replayed in my mind like a broken record. His smirk, his calculated demeanor, even the way he had stood so calmly despite Blair’s rage… it all unsettled me. But there was something else. Something in his eyes, a fleeting emotion I couldn’t quite place. Sympathy. It made no sense. Rogues were ruthless, selfish creatures who thrived on chaos and deaths. Yet, in his gaze, I had seen something different. Was it hesitation? Regret? My gut twisted as I turned over, trying to shake the thought. He said he wanted the twins. He claimed he wanted to take them far away. But why did it feel like a lie? Or maybe not a lie, but a distraction. Like he was saying what his companion expected him to say, not what he truly meant. It was what they were sent to say. I squeezed my eyes shut willing sleep to take me but it refused to come. Minutes turned into

  • The Alpha Kings’ Curse Breaker   69: Agreement

    Gianna’s POVThe walk back through the woods felt different this time. Lighter somehow. My mind was no longer clouded with the rogue’s bad intentions or the weight of the world that seemed to rest on my shoulders. For the first time in what felt like forever, I had a plan. Of my own!It wasn’t perfect, maybe even far from it. It wasn’t even something I could tell anyone about, not even King. Especially not King. The rogue’s words replayed on repeat in my head. “He’s protecting you, sure, but for the endgame. Don’t mistake his protection for trust. He’s keeping secrets and so should you.”At first, I had frowned at the suggestion. But then I’d thought of all the times King had blatantly told me I was a pawn in his game. A means to an end. He’d never sugarcoated it and never pretended otherwise. If he could keep his cards close to his chest, why couldn’t I? By the time I reached the cabin, the tension in my shoulders had eased. My steps felt steady and my resolve solid. I didn’t h

  • The Alpha Kings’ Curse Breaker   70: A roomie

    Gianna’s POVThe movie played on, its colors and silly characters filling the room with noise. But without the kids' cheerful comments or King’s brooding presence, the cabin felt quieter… emptier. I stretched out on the couch trying to focus on the scenes flashing across the screen but my thoughts kept drifting back to the rogue and the secrets now bubbling just beneath the surface. What a rollercoaster. My life has turned into a circus for sure. Even I can’t catch up with everything that is going on anymore. I sighed sinking deeper into the cushions, hoping to lose myself in the distraction around me. Then, my phone buzzed against the coffee table. I frowned. The thing hardly ever made a sound unless Blair was trying to reach me. Sure enough, when I picked it up her name blinked across the screen. She is the only one that calls me then Liam and Tom occasionally. Blair: Hey, my roommate’s acting weird. She’s been crying all night, and it’s creeping me out. She won’t talk to me.

  • The Alpha Kings’ Curse Breaker   71: Inside news

    King’s POVI stepped out of the cabin, the morning sun hitting me directly in the face I winced. Too bright. Kate and Kayden's laughter echoed faintly behind me mingling with the scent of the forest. I glanced back once, catching a glimpse of them through the window with Kate tossing popcorn into the air while Kayden attempted to catch it with his mouth. Gianna was by the side eating the breakfast I made for them. The cabin didn’t feel like mine anymore. The space I’d once guarded with so much intensity was now cluttered with small shoes, half-finished drawings and the faint scent of cookies. A part of me should have resented the intrusion but instead, I felt... satisfied. Maybe even proud. It’s the most fucked up feeling I had to announce myself feeling. Truly. I turned back toward the pack house, shaking off the thought. Satisfaction was dangerous. It made you complacent and complacency had no place in my life. Not with so much at stake right now. I made my way to the pack

  • 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

    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

    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
