The Alpha's Cursed Mate    Chapter 11
Tiara’s POVBy the time I returned to my room, my entire body ached. I could feel the light throbbing on my temple and my hand shook when I held them out.The day had been long. I had scrubbed floors, cleaned the dining hall, dusted shelves, and ensured every corner of the pack house was spotless. I had done everything Luna Victoria expected of me—and most importantly, I had stayed out of sight. From what I knew, Alpha Nicholas was still very much in the pack.But I had not seen Alpha Nicholas once.The only glimpse I had of him was through whispers that floated around the halls. Some pack members mentioned that he had spent the day inspecting the training grounds, giving orders to the guards, and reviewing security plans with the warriors. It was clear that his visit was more than just a simple agreement with Alpha Darius. He wanted to make sure the MoonCrown Pack was strong enough to handle any threats. And since the MoonCrown pack will most likely come under his protection soon, he

Tiara's POVI had spent the entire morning completing my chores. My arms ached from scrubbing floors, my feet were sore from walking back and forth, and my clothes smelled like cleaning supplies. Yet, despite my exhaustion, I found myself standing by the window of my small chamber, my eyes fixed on the road leading to the pack gates.The morning sun was up, shining brightly over the pack grounds. Warriors trained in the open field, their movements sharp and precise. Omegas carried baskets filled with herbs and fresh produce, moving quickly to avoid getting in the way of the higher-ranked wolves. The scent of cooked meat and fresh bread wafted through the air, making my stomach grumble, but I ignored it.I wasn’t hungry.I was waiting.My fingers gripped the edge of the window as my gaze stayed on the road.Alpha Nicholas would be leaving soon.There was no reason for me to care. His departure had nothing to do with me. I was just a lowly servant in the MoonCrown Pack, someone beneath

Tiara's POVI stepped out of the room, my heart beating too fast as I followed Rita through the narrow hallway.Alpha Nicholas wanted to see me.I couldn’t understand why. I wasn’t important. I had no reason to stand before an Alpha, let alone one as powerful as him. Yet, I had been called.Mia stirred inside me. “Maybe he wants to say good-bye to you. Now you don't have to stand by the window to catch a glimpse of him.”I ignored her. There was no use entertaining thoughts that could never be true.I kept my gaze low as I walked. I was nothing more than a servant, and no amount of decoration could change that.We were almost at the main hall when I suddenly heard the familiar voice of my stepmother, Luna Victoria."Where do you think you're going?"I stopped.I lifted my head slowly to see Luna Victoria standing in the middle of the hallway, her arms crossed. Beside her was Phoebe, her expression twisted in anger.I swallowed hard.Luna Victoria’s presence always made me uneasy, and

Alpha Nicholas’ POVI stood in the grand hall, waiting. Alpha Darius was waiting too, but there was nothing to talk about anymore because I didn't like idle chatter.The silence stretched on, pressing down on me like an invisible weight. I had sent for Tiara, but she had not arrived yet. Time was slipping away, and my patience was wearing thin. I had other matters to attend to, but I could not leave without seeing her one last time.I needed to be sure she was being treated well. I needed to see how she was doing. And to set eyes on those beautiful eyes of hers again.I had expected her to be here already. The delay made me wonder—was she being held back on purpose? The thought crossed my mind more than once. I did not trust Alpha Darius or his family to act in good faith. They had always been calculated in their actions, and I would not put it past them to stall this meeting.I glanced at Alpha Darius, considering whether I should ask what was taking so long. Just as I opened my mou

Tiara's POVI stood still, my hands clasped together, my head slightly bowed. There was a lot running through my mind and there was a lot that I expected to happen. A lot of unpleasant things. Alpha Nicholas was gone.The moment the large doors closed behind him, the air in the room changed.The false warmth, the forced kindness—vanished. I knew my step mother and step sister would not be able to keep up the pretense for long. I felt it before anyone even spoke. Suddenly, it occurred to me that I could really do nothing here to help myself. I was helpless to whatever Luna Victoria and Phoebe did to me. I was defenseless. There was no Nina anywhere to try to step up and say something in my defense, even if it was pleading with my step mother or step sister. Then, Phoebe's sharp voice cut through the silence."Get out," she snapped. "Go take your stinking self out of that borrowed dress."I swallowed hard, keeping my expression blank.Minutes ago, while Alpha Nicholas was here, Phoeb

Tiara's POVJust as I neared the door of my room, Nina rushed up to me. My heart missed a beat when I saw her. What if she was carrying a bad message? What was it this time? What was I to expect?“Hey, I'm glad I caught up with you,” she said, a little out of breath.“Why?” I asked, swallowing the urge to cry suddenly.“Phoebe wants us to scrub her room too. She said she needs you to do it now. But I'm willing to assist you,” she said. I nodded. So I hadn't escaped. We walked back to Phoebe's room and started to work. I scrubbed the floor, moving the brush in slow, careful strokes.Phoebe liked perfection. Or rather, she liked making others work for it. I had learned that long ago.I focused on my task, trying to finish as quickly as possible.Then the door swung open.Phoebe stepped inside, her gaze sweeping over us.“Stop working,” she ordered. Nina and I immediately set our cleaning supplies aside and stood.I kept her hands clasped in front of her, head slightly bowed.Nina di

TIARA’S POVI sat in my room, listening. The walls of the royal pack house were thick, but sound carried when you paid enough attention. Lately, I had learned to listen well. It helped me know when to move and when to stay out of sight.It saved me a lot of abuse. Luna Victoria would have to make up a good reason for beating me up if she did that now. This would have been the life I was content with a few days ago— simply doing what I was asked and not getting beaten and wounded in so many places that sleeping would be difficult at night. But now, I couldn't say I was content with this life. This was not the life I wanted. Perhaps, I was beginning to deserve better than I did few months back. I sighed. “You've always deserved better. Maybe you've never really allowed yourself think that way, but you actually do.” My wolf said in a small tone. I straightened my back. “I should say it now when I wake up every morning. I deserve better, and that would come to me in due time,” I said.

Tiara’s POVI was making several trips to the kitchen and back. The kitchen was warm, filled with the scent of freshly baked bread and roasting meat. The clatter of pots and pans mixed with the murmured voices of the servants, all too busy with their tasks to pay attention to me. They didn't know the inner turmoil I was battling. They went about their day doing their duties. Unlike me, no one bullied them or tried to make them suffer for things they didn't have the power to control.I kept my head down as I picked up the tray of sliced fruit and honeyed nuts.I had already been here too many times, running back and forth to fetch whatever Phoebe and Luke demanded. My arms ached from carrying trays, and my feet were sore from walking across the long hallways of the royal pack house. But none of that mattered.What mattered was that I was doing what Phoebe asked me to. I was pleasing her and her suitor and that was what counted. Phoebe was doing this on purpose, of course. But today,

Tiara’s POV I was still getting myself familiar with the ForestHowl pack house. It was my new home and I didn't want to leave things to chance. Once, Nina and I had had our walk around the pack house and had discovered an old mine within the pack house. There was a small door that led directly to the abandoned mine. We didn't do anything about this knowledge. We were simply satisfied that we knew this. There was a lot more to learn and the presence of Phoebe and my step mother didn't stop my evening tours around the pack house. I walked down the hall, looking at both sides of the far walls as I went. And then suddenly, I came to a sudden halt. Phoebe stood in the middle of the hall, arms crossed, blocking my way. Unlike earlier, there was no fake kindness in her expression. She did not bother with polite smiles or forced sweetness. Her true feelings were on full display—disdain, irritation, and something else she probably did not want to admit. Jealousy. I said nothing a

Tiara’s POVNina and I had not talked about Luna Victoria and Phoebe again after she'd left us. She didn't ask me what they'd talked about after she left. Knowing Nina, she had probably guessed correctly on what they'd talked about.The pack was at peace, yet, despite the peaceful surroundings, my attention was drawn to something far less pleasant—Phoebe.She had spent the entire morning lingering near Nicholas, her presence as persistent as a mosquito that refused to be swatted away.Everywhere he went, she was there.She followed him through the training grounds, standing just outside the sparring ring as he observed his warriors. She loitered near the pack house, pretending to admire the grand structure while stealing glances at him. During meals, she made sure to sit as close as possible, her voice sugary sweet as she tried to pull him into conversation.It was obvious what she was doing.She was trying to win him over.She laughed at things that were barely amusing, her voice lig
The Alpha's Cursed Mate    Chapter 65
Tiara’s POVPhoebe and Luna Victoria were in ForestHowl as unexpected guests.I had not seen them yet, but I knew they were here. Their presence was not something that could go unnoticed. Even without meeting them, I could already feel their intentions.They had come with smiles, with carefully chosen words, but I knew the truth.They wanted to see me. And they wanted to see Nina.When Nicholas called for me that morning, I had already expected it.“They asked to see you both,” he said, standing near the large window of his office. His voice was steady, calm. “They claim they want to make sure you are at peace.”I did not react immediately, letting the words settle.Nicholas watched me, his expression unreadable. “I told them they could.”A part of me wanted to scoff at their sudden concern. I had lived in MoonCrown for years. Not once had they ever looked at me with kindness. Now, after all that had happened, they wanted to check on me?But I did not let my emotions show.Nicholas le

Phoebe’s POV I walked beside my mother through the quiet hallways of the pack house, my steps light against the polished wooden floors. The air carried the scent of burning wood and freshly brewed tea, but I barely noticed. My thoughts were elsewhere, focused entirely on what lay ahead. Everything depended on this meeting. If we failed to convince my father, Alpha Darius, all our efforts would be for nothing. Our plans would crumble before they could even begin. We had rehearsed our words repeatedly, ensuring that we sounded as genuine as possible. If there was even a hint of dishonesty, Alpha Darius would catch it. He was sharp, and he was not easily deceived. But then, I trusted my mother. Over the years, I'd seen how she easily manipulated him. Sometimes it was glaring that she was manipulating him, but he would let her have her way. I'd always loved that my mother was constantly on the winning end. There was nothing she ever asked of him that he didn't do for her, or simply gi

The Alpha's Cursed Mate    Chapter 62
Phoebe’s POVI stormed into my mother’s room, barely holding back my frustration. My chest felt tight with anger, and I could feel my nails digging into my palms as I clenched my fists. The very thought of Alpha Nicholas taking Nina away made my blood boil, bud I was living that reality. She had been whisked off to go and be with Tiara in their new paradise and I couldn't think of anything more disgusting and annoying. I had worked too hard, endured too much, only to watch things slip from my control. More than ever, it seemed my mother was doing nothing to change how things had suddenly gone. My mother sat in her chair near the window, dressed in her usual elegant robes, her expression unreadable. She was always calm these days, always composed, but I knew she was just as furious as I was. She hated losing and this was our loss. "I can’t believe this!" I blurted, pacing the room. "How could he take Nina? How could father, of the MoonCrown pack allow it? She belongs in MoonCrown!"
