The Alpha's Cursed Mate    Chapter 57
Tiara's POVI stood in front of Alpha Nicholasâs desk, my hands curling into fists at my sides. My chest felt tight, but I forced myself to speak clearly. "Please," I said. "Bring Nina here. She has no one in MoonCrown. Phoebe and Luna Victoria wonât stop making her suffer."Alpha Nicholas sat back in his chair, watching me. He didn't say anything right away. His expression didnât change, but I knew he was thinking. He never rushed decisions. That was something I had learned about him. He liked to weigh everything before acting.Not because he couldn't just make any decisions, but because he understood how not to abuse the authority he had over those under him.After what felt like forever, he finally spoke. "You want me to take someone from MoonCrown," he said. "Even though she is part of that pack."I straightened my back. "She doesnât belong there," I said quickly. "She is treated like sheâs worthless. She doesnât have family, she doesnât have anyone looking out for her. Sheâs alon

Alpha Nicholasâs POVTwo days after my conversation with Tiara, I rode to the MoonCrown pack. I hadnât promised her I would take Nina, but I had promised to do something. That was enough to make the trip necessary.The ride was long, but it gave me time to think. Tiaraâs words still echoed in my mind. She had spoken with conviction, determination. She had changed since arriving in ForestHowl. At first, she barely spoke, unsure of her place. Now, she stood before me, demanding something without hesitation. It wasnât just about Nina. She insisted it was about what was right.When I arrived at MoonCrown, the royal pack house stood as imposing as ever. The guards at the gate stepped aside without hesitation. They knew better than to question my presence. Alpha Darius had already been informed of my visit, and within minutes, I was led inside to meet him and his family.Darius sat at the head of the long meeting table in the grand hall. His expression was unreadable as I took my seat acros

Tiaraâs POVThe moment Nina arrived at the ForestHowl pack, I felt like a weight had been lifted from my chest.Alpha Nicholas had kept to his word and he'd brought her.Standing at the entrance of the packhouse, I watched as she stepped off the horse that had carried her here. Her eyes moved slowly across her surroundings, taking in the towering trees, the strong stone walls, and the pack members who moved about their daily tasks. She clutched the small bag she carried, the only thing she owned."Nina," I called gently, stepping forward.Her eyes snapped to mine, and for a moment, she just stared. Then, her lips trembled, and she rushed forward, throwing her arms around me."Youâre really here," I whispered, holding her tightly.She nodded against my shoulder. "I thought Iâd never leave that place," she admitted, voice shaky. "I thought Iâd probably die there."I pulled away slightly to look at her. "You wonât have to think like that anymore. Youâre safe here."She let out a breath a

Tiaraâs POVThe relief of having Nina safe in the ForestHowl pack was something I hadnât expected to feel so deeply. For so long, I had worried about herâworried that Phoebe and Luna Victoria would finally break her, that she would never escape MoonCrownâs cruelty. But now, she was here. She was free.And I knew I owed it all to Alpha Nicholas.âHe really did listen to you!âMy wolf cried inside me excitedly. The voice had been persistent since when alpha Nicholas set out to go to the MoonCrown pack.I knew he would not be coming back empty handed and I'd been relieved to an extent. MoonCrown didn't have the power to deny him right over a servant. Infact, other packs would gift the servant to an Alpha they admired, but alpha Nicholas wasn't like other alphas. He turned down such gifts, from what I'd learned.Later, I found him in his office, standing behind his desk as he read over some documents. He looked up when I entered, his sharp eyes locking onto mine. I hesitated for a moment

Tiaraâs POVLately, I had been watching Nicholas more than I should. I didnât know when it had started, but now, I couldnât seem to stop. My eyes followed him when he moved through the packhouse, when he gave orders to the warriors, when he sat in meetings with his Beta. He never had to raise his voice to command respect. It was just there, in the way he carried himself, in the way people reacted to him.I told myself it was nothingâjust curiosity. But Ninaâs words kept replaying in my mind."You should try to get closer to him, Tiara. Not just because it would make Phoebe furious, but because he's the Alpha here, and whether you like it or not, your place in this pack is tied to him."At first, I had laughed it off. I didnât need to do anything to solidify my place. Nicholas had already made it clear that I was under his protection. But the more I thought about it, the more I realized Nina wasnât entirely wrong.Nicholas was the one who decided who stayed and who didnât. If I wanted

Phoebeâs POVI stormed into my motherâs 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 canât 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!"

Phoebeâs POVI 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 give

Phoebeâs POV The journey to ForestHowl was exhausting and I clung to my mother all through the journey. I was weaker alone than I thought. It was different from MoonCrownâless refined, less structured. But there was a certain strength in it, a quiet but undeniable power. As the pack house came into view, I took a slow breath. It was large, though not in the same way as ours. MoonCrownâs pack house was elegant, built for nobility. This one was built for warriors. Strong, sturdy, and meant to last. The guards at the entrance were already expecting us. Their eyes held no curiosity, no hesitation. They were disciplined and well-trained, standing firm as we approached. One of them, a tall man with sharp features, stepped forward. âLuna Victoria. Phoebe. Alpha Nicholas is expecting you.â His tone was polite but distant. No warmth. No hint of welcome. My mother gave a small smile, her expression perfectly arranged to show humility. âThank you. We appreciate his hospitality.â The guard

The Alpha's Cursed Mate    Chapter 80
Tiara's POV I woke up still feeling sore from the previous night. I couldnât shake the feeling that Phoebe and Ryker were both involved in something, working together in ways I hadnât fully understood before. Ryker, always nearby, his eyes constantly scanning the room. Phoebe, too, had been acting oddly, especially after what happened last night. I needed proof. I had to watch them closely, just as Ryker had once done to me.As the day stretched on, I kept my distance, keeping an eye on their every move. Ryker always seemed to be near Phoebe, never far from her. There was something about their connection that didnât sit right with me.I had to find out more. But I knew I couldnât confront them directly. I needed something solid, something I could use to expose whatever they were hiding. They had to slip up. I had to be patient.The sound of my name pulled me from my thoughts. "Tiara," a voice called from the hallway, and I turned to see one of the servants standing at the door. "Al
The Alpha's Cursed Mate    Chapter 79
Tiara's POV He didnât waste any time. Nicholas stood up and turned to his warriors. His voice rang out strong, cutting through the chaos in the hallway. âSearch the pack house,â he commanded, his tone firm. âFind whoever entered this pack and attacked someone under my protection. They are not to touch anyone here.âThe guards, sharp and ready, nodded and quickly dispersed, moving throughout the pack house to search every corner. The air seemed to hum with energy as they went to work, the sound of their footsteps echoing off the walls. My mind was still reeling from the attack, and I couldnât help but watch them, hoping theyâd find whoever had hurt me. Nicholas had spoken with such confidence, such authority, that I knew he wasnât going to let this go.Nicholas turned his attention back to me. He crouched down beside me, his presence suddenly more intense. His golden eyes found mine, and for a moment, I felt like he was looking right through me. âDid you recognize their voice?â he ask
The Alpha's Cursed Mate    Chapter 78
Tiara's POV The noise around me was overwhelming. Guards were shouting, trying to make sense of the situation, but their voices only added to the confusion. My mind was still spinning, still trying to grasp what had happened to me. My body felt weak, and the fear Iâd felt earlier still lingered in my chest, making it hard to think straight.I could barely make out the words of the guards. They were speaking to Phoebe and Luna Victoria, trying to get them to back away, to calm down. But nothing seemed to stop the chaos until a deep, commanding voice rang out, cutting through the noise like a knife.âEnough.âIt was Alpha Nicholas. His voice, calm and powerful, immediately silenced everyone in the hallway. I looked up, startled by how quickly everything had quieted down. I wasnât sure how much time had passed since Iâd first collapsed to the ground, but it didnât matter now. The moment Nicholas stepped forward, his presence seemed to settle the air around us.His golden eyes swept over
The Alpha's Cursed Mate    Chapter 77
Tiara's POV I rubbed my arms, trying to calm the frantic thoughts that raced through my head. The cold floor beneath me only made me feel more vulnerable. I wanted to cry, to scream, but no sound came. My throat ached from the cloth that had been shoved into my mouth, the harshness of it still making it difficult to swallow. The taste of it lingered, bitter and foreign, and the fear still gripped my chest.Just as I was about to gather the strength to stand, I heard the sound of hurried footsteps coming down the hallway. I froze, holding my breath. Who could it be? The footsteps grew louder until a voice called out my name.âTiara!âIt was Phoebeâs voice, sharp and worried. I turned toward the sound, trying to focus, but my vision was still blurry. I couldnât see her, not clearly. I could only hear her footsteps getting closer, and then, before I could react, I felt her hands on my shoulders. She crouched down next to me, her grip firm but shaky.âOh my God, tell me what happened!â P
The Alpha's Cursed Mate    Chapter 76
Tiara's POV That evening, I felt a tight knot in my stomach as I walked through the dimly lit hallway. The air around me was quiet, almost too still. The house was unusually calmâmost of the packâs warriors were either out training or resting after a long day, leaving the halls empty and echoing. I had been walking in silence for what felt like ages, my footsteps soft against the cold stone floor. The goal was simple. Find Alpha Nicholas, tell him everything, and make sure he understood the threat I was feeling.I was nervous. I couldnât deny that. But the thought of Ryker and whatever he might be planning made the worry seem small. I needed to speak to Nicholas. I had to. If Ryker was truly dangerous, I couldnât let him get away with it. I had to trust my instincts, even though everything inside me screamed that something was wrong. My steps were measured, careful, as I neared the entrance to the training ground. The heavy wooden door was only a few paces away, but something in the
The Alpha's Cursed Mate    Chapter 75
Tiara's POVWhat if I was just overthinking things?I had to admit that the whole situation felt wrong, but I didnât know how to explain it. Was Ryker a threat? Or was I being paranoid? And then there was Phoebe. I couldnât help but wonder what was really going on between her and Ryker. Was she flirting with him? Was there something more sinister happening? My wolf growled uneasily at the thought, but I didnât know what to make of it. I couldnât confront Phoebe or Ryker directlyâwhat if I was wrong? What if I was overreacting?I heard the soft creak of the door, and I looked up to see Nina standing there. Her face was soft, filled with concern, and she stepped inside without a word. I gestured to the bed beside me. âHey, come sit.âShe crossed the room and sat down next to me, her eyes taking in my tense posture. She didnât say anything at first, but I could tell she could tell something was off. âWhatâs going on, Tiara?â she asked quietly.I let out a deep breath, trying to gather my
The Alpha's Cursed Mate    Chapter 74
Tiara's POVRyker was still everywhere I went.It was becoming harder to ignore him. His presence, his eyes, had followed me everywhere. At first, I thought it might be paranoia, but now, I was sure. He was always there, lurking in the background, making me feel uneasy.I had tried to avoid the places where I had noticed him beforeâavoiding the garden, the packâs dining hall, and even the training grounds. But it never worked. No matter what path I took, he seemed to be waiting somewhere, always too close, his watchful eyes on me. The more I tried to ignore it, the more it seemed to consume my thoughts.So, today, I decided to take a walk through the park. The fresh air, the open spaceâit usually helped clear my mind. The scent of flowers filled the air, and the soft rustle of leaves above me was soothing. For a moment, I allowed myself to relax, letting my guard down. The sun was shining through the trees, and I could feel its warmth on my face.I took a deep breath, inhaling the swe
The Alpha's Cursed Mate    Chapter 73
Tiara's POVFor days, I felt the pair of eyes on me each time I stepped out of the house.Ryker, one of the guards, seemed to be everywhere I went. At first, I brushed it off. He was a guard, after all. It made sense that he would be around, keeping an eye on things. But the longer it went on, the more I realized it wasnât just a coincidence. Every time I turned around, I caught him looking at me. Sometimes he pretended to be busy, talking to other guards or inspecting the grounds, but his eyes always followed me. I could feel the weight of his gaze, and it made my skin crawl.I was walking with Nina in the fields, I stopped for a moment, taking in the view of the open field.Ryker was behind me now, and I could sense him standing off to the side, his watchful eyes never leaving me. It was as though no matter where I went, he was always there, lurking in the background. My wolf stirred uneasily, a quiet growl rising in the back of my throat. Something about it didnât feel right.âYouâ
The Alpha's Cursed Mate    Chapter 72
Tiara's POVI sat by the window in my room, nursing a mug of coffee. I kept replaying the events of the night before, over and over again. I couldnât dismiss the way his eyes had lingered on me, the softness in his voice when he told me to go to bed.But I wasnât sure if it meant anything. Nicholas wasnât the type to show weakness, and I had no idea if what I had seen in him was a sign of something more or just a fleeting moment.âTiara, youâre quiet today,â Nina said, settling down across from me with a wide smile on her face. She looked at me, practically glowing with excitement, her eyes bright and expectant.I took a deep breath, setting my mug down, and met her gaze. âItâs nothing,â I muttered, trying to dismiss the thought. But Nina wasnât about to let me off the hook that easily.âYouâve been thinking about last night, havenât you?â she asked, leaning forward eagerly. âYou canât hide it from me, Tiara. I know you. I can see it on your face.âI bit my lip, unsure of how to respo
