King’s POV

The door clicked shut behind me, a sound so soft it shouldn’t have been able to stir anything. But it did. My jaw clenched, my fists tightening at my sides as I leaned against the wall trying to collect myself. My body still ached, still burned with need but my frustration? That boiled hotter.

Alice. She had the nerve to come back now, after I warned her not to? After everything she’d done, after all the chaos she’d caused, she thought she could walk back into my life like nothing happened?

I shoved off the wall, raking a hand through my hair. My mind felt like a damn battlefield every thought crashing into the next nothing making sense.

My need for Gianna hell, my need to claim her, to have her still roared inside me but it clashed against the anger Alice stirred.

Dragging my phone out of my pocket, I dialed Liam. It rang twice before he answered, his voice calm and collected, the exact opposite of mine.

“She’s back.” I said, my words clipped, my voice low.

    Gianna’s POVI woke up feeling hollow, my heart a quiet, fragile thing, trembling with every beat. The weight of everything pressed down on my chest like a hand squeezing the life out of me. My heart was too soft, too eager to love and it had betrayed me again. Why the hell did I think falling for King was a good idea? Why the hell is it that I don’t have control over my heart whatsoever? I swung my legs over the side of the bed, my decision as solid as the cold floor beneath my feet. I’d made up my mind. I was going to sleep with King get it out of the way. Just once. Just to know how it felt. And then I’d leave this godforsaken place for good. I couldn’t stay. Not when everything inside me screamed to run. The thought of being here, bound to him watching my heart break little by little, it wasn’t a life. It was a slow death. By nightfall, I was standing outside his door, my hand trembling as I reached for the knob. My mind was chaos, my emotions a war zone. But my body… My

  • The Alpha Kings’ Curse Breaker   94: Time to go

    Gianna’s POVThe aftermath of our time together left my body humming, my toes still curling from the way King had thoroughly claimed me. I had never been touched, taken or loved like that before. My entire being felt sated yet a hollow ache crept into the corners of my mind. I wished for a fleeting moment that we could rewind time, fall back into each other’s arms and relive that euphoric high. But I knew better. I always knew better. Sleep found me quickly, pulling me under like a heavy wave, but even in my dreams, his touch lingered.I woke to the gentle press of his fingers tracing lazy patterns on my arm. My eyes fluttered open to find him gazing at me with a softness that unraveled me further. His lips found mine, the kiss tender yet charged with an unspoken intensity. This time, when he moved over me, it wasn’t fast or frenzied. He made love to me as if he knew. As if he could sense that this was goodbye. Each thrust was deliberate every touch reverent and when he whispered

    Gianna’s POVThe jet hummed beneath me, a quiet, relentless reminder of the impossible situation I found myself in. I didn’t argue when they led me aboard what was the point? Resistance was futile. The triplets had won just like they always seemed to win everything from birth. They’d taken me, my kids and whatever semblance of freedom I’d thought I had left. Of course, they were stinking rich. Private jet, lavish interiors, attendants who looked like they’d stepped out of a designer magazine… it all screamed power. The kind that crushed anything in its path. I didn’t even look at them as we settled in. I found my seat by the window and stared out at the endless sky, desperate to lose myself in its expanse. Anything to avoid the suffocating tension in the cabin. Kate and Kayden’s laughter bubbled through the space, their innocent giggles an ironic contrast to the storm churning inside me. I couldn’t even be mad at them. They didn’t know better. The triplets had wormed their way i

  • The Alpha Kings’ Curse Breaker   96: Continuous

    Gianna’s POVThe suite was nothing short of stunning high ceilings, velvet curtains and furniture so plush it felt like a crime to sit on it. But I didn’t care. It wasn’t the grandeur that made my stomach twist; it was the fact that this suite was in their wing. Their wing. The triplets had never let me near their personal space before not even when we’d lived under the same roof for months as their beloved mate back then. Back then I’d been shoved into a room far removed from them, a clear reminder of how little I mattered. But now? Now they wanted me here within arm’s reach. It was suspicious to say the least. I don’t think I like it. I glanced at Kane who had led me to the suite, his expression unreadable as ever. They should have asked a maid to do so right? They wanted nothing to do with me the other time. Oh, I’m their curse breaker. “Why here?” I asked. “You’ll be safer in this part of the palace” he said, his tone clipped. Safer. Right. Like that explained anything.

  • The Alpha Kings’ Curse Breaker   97: Changed triplets

    Gianna’s POVI stepped into the study, the air thick with the weight of unspoken thoughts. The room dimly lit by a single desk lamp felt quieter than I remembered it. The three of them Kane, Klaus, and Keith were all seated around the massive wooden desk their expressions intense and distant like they were lost in their own worlds. It wasn’t the same feeling I used to get when I saw them those cold, detached stares their arrogance always hanging in the air like a thick fog. But now? They were different. Their postures weren’t as rigid as before, their bodies leaned slightly forward in a way that told me they were waiting for something. As soon as they saw me, a collective shift occurred. The change was immediate. Each of them sat up straighter their eyes darting to me like I was the one thing that could fill the empty space between us. It hit me the something had changed in them. Something was differen and I couldn’t quite put my finger on it. They were more... present now. The a

  • The Alpha Kings’ Curse Breaker   98: Jealous mate

    Gianna’s POVThe halls of the palace were eerily quiet at night, the only sound the faint echo of my footsteps against the polished floors. The air was cool, and I pulled my thin cardigan tighter around myself but it did little to chase away the chill. I should’ve stayed in bed but my restless mind had other plans. I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn’t notice the figure approaching until he was right beside me. Keith. He moved with that quiet, predatory grace that was so natural to him, his stormy gray eyes unreadable as they met mine. He didn’t say a word, but he held out a shawl his large hands gentle as he draped it over my shoulders. The warmth was immediate, and despite myself, I gave him a small, grateful smile. “Thanks” I murmured, my voice barely above a whisper. He didn’t respond, only giving a slight nod before falling into step beside me. We walked in silence, the tension between us simmering just below the surface. I didn’t know why he was here or why he’d de

  • The Alpha Kings’ Curse Breaker   99: Nyx

    Gianna’s POV The exhaustion from the night before finally hit me when I collapsed onto the massive bed in the suite. Sleep came quickly but it wasn’t peaceful. My dreams were a tangle of memories and emotions, flashes of faces and voices that I’d tried so hard to forget. When I finally woke, it was to the soft knock of someone at the door. “Come in” I murmured groggily, sitting up as the door creaked open. A young maid stepped in, her presence oddly familiar. Her dark hair was tied neatly into a bun and she carried herself with an ease that immediately set her apart from the others I’d seen in the palace. My heart stopped when she looked up, her face unmistakable. “Nyx?” I whispered disbelief coursing through me. Her face broke into a warm smile, and before I could process what was happening, she crossed the room and pulled me into a tight hug. “It’s been so long” she said, her voice thick with emotion. “I didn’t think I’d see you again after... everything.” It felt surre

    Gianna’s POVThe clatter of dishes being cleared away signaled the end of breakfast and I was more than ready to escape the suffcating atmosphere of the dining room. I stood, smoothing down my dress and gathering the children when Klaus of all people spoke. “You can go shopping for your clothes, Gianna. Nyx will go with you.” He said, his tone neutral but his gaze flickering with something unreadable. I don’t think I’m liking the mysteries behind those eyes but whatever. I raised an eyebrow but didn’t argue. It wasn’t generosity it never was with them. I knew better than to believe they’d let me roam freely without strings attached. And I was right. As soon as we stepped out of the palace gates, I noticed them two guards dressed casually but failing miserably at blending in. They lingered at a distance their eyes darting to every movement I made. Nyx noticed them too her lips quirking into a knowing smile. I’m not delusional I smiled back at her. They are paranoid I might ru

  • 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

    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
