The Alpha and his Cursed Mate CHAPTER EIGHTEEN
ALEXBorder reports scatter across my desk, each one detailing another probing attack by Northern wolves. Three days of constant harassment, each assault precisely timed, strategically placed. They're testing us, searching for something. Or someone.I lean back in my chair, exhaustion weighing heavily. The ambush two nights ago left twelve warriors injured – not severe casualties, but enough to stretch our defenses thin. Every time we push them back, they regroup and strike from a different angle. Their persistence suggests they're hunting something valuable. Something worth risking war over.But it's not the Northern wolves that occupy my thoughts.Her scent still lingers in my study, even days after our confrontation. Vanilla and jasmine wrapped in lies. The memory of her taste haunts me – power and submission mixed with something ancient. Something that called to the darkness in my own blood. That kiss revealed more than she intended, showed cracks in her perfect facade. The way he

The ancient book dangles from his fingers as he blocks my escape. Other slaves fade to the edges of the kitchen, sensing the tension crackling between us. Even Sarah's constant kneading falls silent."You seem unwell." His voice carries deceptive softness. "Perhaps we should discuss your... condition in private."Another wave of heat surges through me, making the room spin. The book in his hand terrifies me more than any silver chain – its worn leather binding promises ancient knowledge, secrets I've spent years hiding."I'm fine, my Lord." The lie tastes bitter. "Just the kitchen heat—""No." He steps closer, power rolling off him in waves that make my wolf whine. "Not the kitchen heat. Something else burns in your blood. Something that calls to every unmated male in the territory." His eyes gleam silver as he inhales deeply. "Something that shouldn't exist in a wolfless slave."I back away until my spine hits the counter. Herbs hanging above my head mask some of my scent, but not en

ALORAThe clearing hits me like a physical wall. Moonlight floods the open space, and my legs finally give out. I collapse to my knees in the silver-lit grass, my entire body trembling with the force of my heat.No more running. No more hiding. The moon's power combines with my heat, shattering what little control I have left. My skin burns like fire, every nerve ending screaming for relief. For his touch. For the claiming my cursed blood demands."No, no, no," I whimper, pressing my forehead to the cool earth. My fingers dig into the soil as another wave hits, stronger than any before. I feel my bones wanting to shift, my wolf clawing desperately for freedom.His scent surrounds me as he enters the clearing. Pine and smoke and pure dominance. My wolf howls, recognizing her true Alpha. The need to submit, to bare my throat, to beg for his claim becomes almost unbearable."Please," I gasp, though I'm not sure what I'm begging for. His mercy? His bite? Both?My skin ripples as the shift

The forest presses in around us, its shadows alive with the sounds of the night. The air is thick with the mingling of our scents—his dominance and my heat wrapping around us like a cage. My back meets the rough bark of a tree as he pushes me against it, his hand still tangled in my hair.The kiss deepens, pulling me under, and for a moment, I forget the danger, the consequences. All I know is him—his warmth, his strength, the way he growls low in his throat when my hands claw at his shoulders. The sound vibrates through me, primal and raw, sending a shiver down my spine.“You shouldn’t have done that,” he murmurs, his voice a dark promise, even as his lips trail along my jaw.“Then stop me,” I whisper back, my voice trembling as much from need as from fear.But he doesn’t stop me. Instead, his hands slide to my waist, lifting me as though I weigh nothing. My legs wrap around him instinctively, and the heat of him presses into me, chasing away the chill of the night air.His lips leav

Morning ConfusionMy eyes snap open, and my hand immediately reaches for the empty space beside me. Morning dew has settled on my skin, and the forest floor beneath me still holds the impression of where Alora had lain during our mating. But she's gone."Alora?" My voice carries through the morning air. Sitting up, I scan the clearing where we'd spent the night. Her scent lingers – sweet and wild – but it's growing stale. She must have left hours ago.Panic grips my chest as I rise to my feet. "Alora!" I call again, louder this time. Nothing but birds answer my call. In seconds, I shift into my wolf form, my massive black body moving swiftly through the trees as I begin tracking her scent.The trail winds through the dense forest, leading me deeper into my territory. But something is off about her scent today – an underlying note I hadn't noticed before, something ancient and wild that makes my wolf uneasy. The further I track, the stronger that strange scent becomes.Alora, where are

My hands won't stop shaking as I stare at the full moon through my bedroom window. The silver light bathes my cream-colored walls in an ethereal glow, but nothing can calm the fire burning beneath my skin. Tonight's my seventeenth birthday, and my first shift is moments away. I've dreamed of this night since I was little, but now that it's here, something feels... different. Wrong.A wave of heat courses through my body, making my silk nightgown cling uncomfortably to my sweat-slicked skin. Mom said the first shift could be intense, but she never mentioned this burning sensation, this ache deep in my core that makes me want to crawl out of my own skin."It'll be okay, sweetheart," Mom whispers from my doorway. She's wearing her favorite lavender sweater, but something in her expression makes me wonder if she senses what I'm feeling. "Every Mitchell has shifted successfully for generations."I try to respond, but another surge of heat steals my breath. My legs tremble, and I grip the w

Three days after my first shift, and the burning hasn't stopped. I sit cross-legged on my basement floor, sweat trickling down my spine despite the cool concrete beneath me. The circle of moonstones Mom laid out pulses with a soft blue light, but even their calming energy can't completely quiet the storm raging inside me."Focus, Alora," Dad commands from where he stands shirtless in the center of the room. His pack tattoos ripple across his shoulders as he moves – protection runes mixed with strength sigils. "Find your anchor."Easy for him to say. He's not fighting both a blood-wolf and pre-heat urges. Another wave of warmth floods my core, making me shift uncomfortably in my training clothes. The black leggings and sports bra feel too constricting, too hot against my fevered skin."I'm trying," I grit out, closing my eyes. The mirrors surrounding us make it worse – I can feel my reflection a thousand times over, each one showing the slight red glow beneath my skin that we're trying

Three weeks before my eighteenth birthday, and I can't stop trembling. Not from the heat this time – we've learned to mask that with a complex blend of herbs and meditation – but from the whispered conversation I wasn't meant to overhear.Silver Creek Pack. Alpha Alexander Stone. The Beast of the Northwest.I press my ear harder against my parents' bedroom door, my enhanced hearing catching every terrified whisper."He breaks them, Elena," Dad argues, his voice hoarse. "Every wolf he's ever owned. They say he can smell defiance, that he takes pleasure in crushing it.""Better broken than dead." Mom's voice cracks. "The Seekers are coming, James. You know what they'll do if they find her. A blood wolf in heat—""Don't." Something crashes against a wall. "There has to be another way."I slide down the wall, wrapping my arms around my knees. The thin cotton of my sundress does nothing to stop the shivers wracking my body. They're right – the Seekers are coming. Even now, I can feel them

His kiss burns on my lips hours after he left. I pace my quarters, unable to sleep, every nerve ending still alive with the memory of his touch. My wolf whines, demanding we find him, beg him to finish what he started. The taste of his dominance lingers on my tongue, making it impossible to rebuild my shattered defenses.I press my forehead against the cool window glass, watching border patrols sweep the grounds. Somewhere out there, he hunts Northern wolves while I hide in my gilded cage. His last words echo in my mind: "You're mine now, little wolf. Whether you admit it or not."My fingers trace the spot where the silver chain nearly touched my skin. So close to exposure, to ruin. Yet when his lips claimed mine, I almost didn't care. The urge to submit, to bare my throat, to let him see everything terrifies me more than any threat of silver.A child's scream shatters the night.I freeze, ears straining. There – another cry, from the direction of the pack nursery. The sound carries t

ALORAA soft knock on his bedroom door. My heart pounds so hard I'm sure he can hear it even through the thick wood. After my near-shift during punishment, after seeing the files spread across his desk through the open study door earlier, I know tonight's questioning will be dangerous."Enter."I step inside, the silk robe he provided clinging to my freshly bathed skin. His scent overwhelms me immediately – pine, smoke, and pure dominance. He sits behind his massive desk, documents spread before him, silver eyes gleaming in the lamplight."Close the door."The latch clicks with finality. I stay near the entrance, maintaining careful distance. His power fills the room, pressing against my skin, testing my control."Your records make for interesting reading." He taps the stack of papers before him. "Every detail perfectly documented. Every evaluation precisely timed. Almost as if someone knew exactly what to record."I keep my eyes lowered, hands clasped. "My Lord, I—""No." The word cr

ALEX"Border patrol spotted Northern wolves," Marcus's words hang in the air after she flees my study. Her scent lingers, mixed with traces of fear and something darker. Something that made her eyes flash crimson."How many?" I force myself to focus on pack business instead of chasing after her."Three scouts. They retreated when spotted, but..." Marcus hesitates. "They were closer than ever before. Almost like they were testing our response time."I move to the window, watching the sun sink toward the horizon. "Show me."The border patrol's tracks tell an interesting story. The Northern wolves didn't just test our defenses – they circled in a pattern. Searching. Not for weaknesses in our territory, but for something specific."Pull the Mitchell Pack files," I order as we return to my study. "All of them."The documents spread across my desk paint a story that doesn't add up. Birth records show no wolf manifestation. Medical reports claim developmental issues. Territory records mark h

ALORAThe ancient book tumbles from my hands in slow motion. Victoria's satisfied smirk flashes in my peripheral vision as her extended foot retreats. Master Kane's training manuals scatter across the marble floor, their pages fluttering like broken wings."Clumsy little slave." Victoria's voice carries through the great hall, drawing attention. She stands straighter, playing her part as head of house management. "Those texts are centuries old. Irreplaceable."My fingers tremble as I gather the fallen books, fighting the urge to bare my fangs at her. Three weeks I've managed to maintain control in Silver Creek. Three weeks of perfect submission, perfect lies. But with my heat approaching and the full moon only days away, my walls grow weaker."Report to Alpha Stone's study." Victoria's command drips with false concern. "I'll have to inform him of this... incident."I cradle the books against my chest, breathing through my mouth to avoid her triumphant scent. The walk to his study feel
