The Cursed Alpha's Mate SEVENTY-ONE
A part of me knew I was asleep when my heart started to race. The incident was three weeks past but still my body froze and a familiar pain seemed to slam into me. I was hyperventilating and trying to get myself to wake up but the more I tried, the more I slipped deeper into the nightmare. "Wake up, Sagira," I heard a voice that sounded around me as if it was coming from a room lined with speakers. "I am here," the voice continued. "I've got you." The last words were spoken in a quiet voice that seemed choked with emotions. I felt a hand gently combing through my hair as I started to regain consciousness. My head was in someone's thighs. The room was dark and then cold lips pressed against my cheeks, my forehead, my eyelids. My eyes snapped open and I bolted upright with a gasp, my hands flying to my chest and then every other part of my body as if taking inventory."You're fine." Firm hands gently pried my fingers from my hair when I gripped them hard. "I am here." I turned to Val

I had one word in my mind. Fuck. The way he stumbled to get out of the bed made me scramble upright. His eyes were blown wide when he looked at me.Looking down at my hands, I saw they were shiny. It wasn't sweat or an outer manifestation of inner radiance. It was light. My skin had a coat of light all around it. I asked the goddess for magic because I didn't expect her to give it to me. It was also because I wanted something my mother had lost and it was the first thing that came to my mind. I didn't pause to consider how Valens would react to me having magic. "I have something to tell you," I said to him. He nodded, his eyes fixated on me while he kept his distance. "You definitely have something to tell me," he replied. The light on my skin intensified when I opened my mouth to blurt things out to him. It started as a soft glow but as I watched, the soft glow brightened and brightened, turning me into a gigantic lightbulb. I closed my eyes against the burning glare of the ligh

VALENS"I've never said that out loud, have I?" She buried her face into a pillow when I asked that. I could see the tip of her ears turning red even though she hid her face from me. I felt incredibly foolish now that I thought of how I reacted when I saw those pictures. I should have been furious but not at her. How could she cheat on me when she reacted like this to me? How could I not have seen? A lot of things would have been different if I had the foresight, the knowledge I had now. 'Love her,' the oracle had said and it turned out that I didn't have to try hard to love her. I didn't even have to try. She was my curse breaker. My mate. By every standard, she was my savior. I was nearing the three-month-mark in Redville; the one that brought that itch that could only be scratched when I moved to a new land. I hadn't hit the mark yet but I knew without a doubt that the itch was gone forever. I would never have the urge to leave this pack behind. I would never have an itch to wan

AYSELValens was acting weird and my powers were going wonky. I didn't know if the two had a correlation but I feared they might. I'd almost set his papers on fire this morning and yesterday, I went as stiff as a board mid-conversation that he feared I'd died. I stared at the television screen without really seeing anything. I was bored out of my mind. Valens had to drop by the office, leaving me alone in the house. All alone, there was nothing for me to do asides eat and watch irrelevant shows. I picked up my phone a hundred times but everyone I knew was busy. As someone who never had free time in the past, I had no idea what to do with the multitude I had now. To make things worse, we moved to this place which was detached from the rest of the pack. I could not access other places easily because it was an impossibly long walk from everyone else. Just as I was thinking of how important it was for me to learn to drive, I heard a beep from the tablet beside me. It alerted me wheneve

VALENS"Clover, what is it you want, really?" I'd known this girl since childhood. She had never undermined my authority like this before. "Valens, are you going to treat me like this because of – because of some –" "Pick your next words carefully," my wolf growled. "They'd determine whether you keep your head or not." "I know that she's your mate but I'm your friend. Doesn't that count for anything? I bore your curse with you. I stood with you when no other woman would and now you're threatening to banish me?" "You didn't break my curse," I reminded her. "I would if I could!" I pulled the phone from my ear when she yelled, peeping to see my mate still sleeping. "You know I wanted to be your lucky clover but it's not my fault and you know I tried. We tried everything," she emphasized the last word. My heart pricked at the words that were little more than accusations. Yes, I tried everything in the early days of my curse. I was desperate to be free of the spirit of a wanderer. I

He stepped forward and took my hands in his. I looked down at them to see sparks of fire that made me snatch them back. Magic was something I struggled with. There were no mentors, no guides, nothing. I had to work my way through it. I'd spent the last few days getting used to the feeling of something more than blood coursing through my veins and noting triggers that made me lose control of that feeling. "Are you trying to burn yourself?" I exclaimed. My magic wouldn't hurt me but it could hurt him."I'm not trying to hurt myself. I'm trying to get to you." He took my hands again but I snatched them back. "What did Clover say?" I asked, taking a seat. "She has an idea of Skylar's whereabouts. She is likely at Blood River pack." He sank into his set, moving the things in his desk to the side. "She wouldn't give me the full details because –" He broke off and I got the feeling he was hiding things from me. "She could be in her mum's pack but the chances of that are slim." Skylar wa

"No." "You are being unreasonable," I protested."I am not being unreasonable. You are not allowed to see him. You are not allowed anywhere near him!" His voice raised, his arms crossed over his chest and I knew he wasn't relenting. But I wasn't relenting either. "I am going to see him. I'm going to see him today, in fact. You can either come with me or not." "There is no question here. No debate. You will not see him. That's final." He slammed his palms down on his desk to emphasize the finality of his words. "Valens, I am your Luna," I reminded him. "You should stop treating me like a mere omega." "I –" He paused, his brows crinkling. "It is my duty to protect you. I must protect you.""What protection do I need from a chained prisoner?" I couldn't help but snap. Something occurred to me then that made me frown. "Is this about my protection or is it just because it's Lucien?" I frowned. The frown on his face melted away. "It's not about Lucien. It's about you." He sighed, raki

"It wasn't supposed to be like this," he said, his head hanging to the side and his voice cracked. "I swear to you, it wasn't supposed to be like this. I never meant to hurt you." He raised his head and looked at me. When I didn't say anything, Lucien turned to Valens. "Alpha, it was all Skylar's idea-" "I am not your Alpha," Valens cut him off, his voice hard. "Can you give us a minute?" I turned to Valens. "No," he answered without missing a beat. "Please," I begged him with my eyes to understand. I needed to talk to Lucien. Only then would I get the closure my heart desperately craved. Despite how much he had hurt me and how much I hated him, I could never forget we had been best friends. I needed to know when he became comfortable with hurting me the way he did. I wanted to know what happened. "Aysel, I'm sorry, but I cannot." He looked solemn. His eyes also begged me to understand. "I cannot leave you with him. My wolf will not allow it." "Very well." I turned back to Luc

The Cursed Alpha's Mate EPILOGUE
“… I now crown you, Alpha Valens Thomas Castillo I, the king of werewolves.” The temple reverberated with applause as the oracle crowned Valens. She placed the crown on his head, took a step back, and curtsied. Applauses followed after that and I was grinning from ear to ear. I looked at the smaller crown which had been sitting beside the king’s when the oracle stepped towards me. I had a smaller one that was a replica of it. It was the same one Valens’ mother wore on the day she died. He’d let me wear it on our Mating Ceremony and it meant everything to me. I didn’t know it then but him giving me that crown was the best way to let me know that he had let go of his past. He had left the path of vengeance and chosen to look forward to a future with me. He let me, a daughter of a traitor from a line of traitors, wear the crown his beloved mother wore in her final hours and he was able to smile and laugh with me as I wore that crown. “Do you, Luna Aysel Valens-Castillo, swear before
The Cursed Alpha's Mate NINETY-NINE
*VALENS*“I promised you would feel my wrath, didn’t I?” I looked down at the girl I once called my friend. I looked down at the girl that I once favoured. She made numerous sacrifices for me. She fought for me and with me but at the end of the day, she did not know not to mess with me. “I have prayed for forgiveness,” she said, looking up at me. “I have prayed away my sins. At this point, Vee, I don’t care what you do to me.” She sat down, her feet trapped underneath her. “If you had not come back, I would not have known. Do you know what you took from me?” Why did I quiz her still? I wanted to reconcile the Clover I used to know with the one before me. I wanted to see if there was anything left of the other girl, a person to mourn, perhaps. I never loved her the way she wanted me to but I loved her. She was my friend. My confidant. Now, she was my enemy. “How do you even know the child was yours?” She looked up at me. “All I ever wanted was to protect you, Vee.” “No, you wanted

“I don’t care what happens to the rest of them. I want Zavier hanged. He will be an example to this pack of what happens when people challenge me,” Valens was saying to the Elder who was to conduct the trial of Zavier, Skylar, and all who aided them in invading Redville. So the trial started. It took two weeks for us to work up from those who were minor parties in the insurgence before we made it up to the trial for Skylar and her father. They would all be tried on the same day and their verdict was already settled.I sat in the front row with Valens beside me. In the past two weeks, things had been strained with him. I wanted to pretend it was because we had so much to do, getting the pack together after the invasion and preparing for trials every day, but I knew I was wrong. I told him everything the moon goddess told me about my mother and since then, things changed. He had simply said he’d suspected after I got my magic, but nothing more than that. “The Alpha will pronounce the

AYSELArtemis wasn’t bluffing when she said the magic was stronger when we shifted. I hadn’t shifted in a while so I hadn’t noticed but the minute I changed from human to wolf, I felt like an entirely different person. Artemis was stronger. The little training we’d received was certain to make a difference in confronting Skylar but the magic we now had was everything we needed and so much more. When she moved, she moved with better grace than ever before. Skylar’s wolf and Artemis met midair, rolling off to the ground but not before Skylar smacked the edge of Valens’ desk. I was atop her when we went down, my claws digging into her brown wolf. She tried to wiggle out of my grip, tried to get my claws dislodged from her neck but Artemis had a far superior grip than she expected; it was evident in the surprise in the wolf’s eyes. I wasn’t the timid girl she used to know. I was not where I wanted to be, having barely hit half of my full potential, but I was far, far away from the per

VALENSI should have destroyed this pack from the beginning. I should never have let their disrespect and brazenness mount to the point where they thought they could defy me once, twice, and then start an insurgency. Redville did not matter until I took over the pack. They would not have lasted another fifty years as a pack without going bankrupt or succumbing to rogue attacks considering the two idiots they had in line as Beta and Alpha. I saved Redville because it became mine but Zavier and his men had no honor. I would teach them. “He is somewhere around here,” the warrior who alerted me to Zavier’s presence on pack lands said, pointing to a dark alley. I could indeed scent Zavier. I did not need him to be pointed out. He carried the stench of one who would soon turn rogue. The scent pricked my nostrils and made my wolf edgy. What the warrior beside me didn’t know was that I was not born the previous day. I could scent an ambush from miles away. Did he think I had no nose to sme

“I’ll go get it,” I volunteered. Several pairs of eyes turned to me as I spoke. Throughout the night into the day, I followed Valens around, rallying the warriors and trying to keep their spirits high while Valens discussed strategies with their commanders. Not unexpected but we hadn’t seen Skylar when we expected her. I knew she would prefer to make a sneaky entrance than arrive when she was expected. I felt like I knew her schemes better than these strategists but they had won numerous wars while I had no experience. We were at the southern borders where we expected would be the easiest part for Skylar to enter the pack. The elders had decided there was no point going out to find her. We could lure her in and have the upper hand that way since we would be battling on familiar grounds. “Gavin will drive you.” Jabari threw his keys to a burly warrior who I’d come to know was named Gavin. “You are sure you know where it is?” He asked me. “Yes, it’s in his office. I’ll be back soon.

“What do you mean you let down the security? We are just going to let her walk in?” I almost pulled at my hair. I didn’t because he hugged me, cutting me short mid-rant. “Stay still a while. I have to be out of here soon.” He pressed his cheek into my hair. “I’ve missed you today.”“Valens, is this a good plan?” I asked, my hands going up to wrap around him. “Are we certain it’ll work?” “It will. I know who she is working with.” He pulled me closer to himself, squeezing me for a second before he let go. “Who?” I asked. “Some guy I thought I ended last year. Alpha Callan. He is Skylar’s mate.” My mouth rounded in surprise. She’d found her mate? Of course, he would be someone that had a bone to pick with Valens. The world always seemed to align for Skylar when the time came for her to do evil. She didn’t even have to try hard, there were always people to do her evil work while she lurked in the shadows, dishing out commands. “An alpha mated to an alpha? Nice,” I said, trying to fo

“You are coming with us,” the taller of the two men said. He was right beside my bed. There were guns pointed at me from two different angles. One wrong move and it would be adieu. “I’ve been instructed to stay home.” I shrugged. There would be no wrong move. I felt a deep calmness inside me and it had nothing to do with the short sleep I just woke from. There would be no wrong move. I could almost see how everything would play out. Magic whispered in my veins, secreting through my system. It helped me stay calm, giving me a sense of control. My wolf stirred and she too felt the calmness. She did not pace, did not ready herself for an attack. She was relaxed as if we didn’t have guns pointed at us. One of the men cocked his gun. I smiled at him. “You have a lot of nerve coming in here. Did Skylar tell you how dangerous it would get?” I stretched in bed. “Get out of that bed!” One of them hissed when I continued to grin at them. “Or what? You shoot and miss, and I promise, you w

‘Come in if you dare,’ I replied the unknown number and set my pocketed my phone.“Celeste, I have to find Jabari,” I said to my friend, standing. She rushed to her feet to block me. “No, wait. You can’t leave until you promise you’ll spare my parents,” she grasped my shoulders. “Please, Aysel.”“Your parents are traitors. As much as I would do anything for you, this is outside what I can do. Except they aren’t part of this, there is no way I will let them walk free.” “I – I know they will be punished but maybe – maybe a sentence? I don’t want to lose all my family, please.” “When the time comes for that, I’ll see what I can do.” I tried to sidestep her but she blocked me again. “You promise?” “I promise.” I was starting to get impatient but she was adamant about getting a promise. “Now, let me pass. Skylar is here.” Her eyes widened and she looked around as if expecting Skylar to be sitting in the room with us. “Where is she?” She asked, still looking around. “She just texted
