All Chapters of Prisoner Of the Cursed Alpha: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

POV CASSANDRAThe sense of urgency took hold of me as the clock struck midnight. The full moon shone intensely outside, and the fear that time had run out made my heart race.Xavier noticed my unease and gave me a questioning look."What’s wrong? Are you uncomfortable? We can share the room without a problem; I’ll sleep in the armchair, and you can take the bed."Before he could say more, an unknown courage surged within me, and, without much thought, I moved closer and pressed my lips against his. At first, Xavier seemed surprised, but soon I felt the resistance in his body melt away, and he responded to the kiss, cupping my face with his warm hands.For a moment, everything around us disappeared; only the warmth of his touch and the intensity of that moment filled my mind. The kiss deepened, and my fingers tangled in his hair as he pulled me closer, as if his body were desperately craving mine.As we pulled apart briefly to catch our breath, he looked at me, still surprised."Cassan

**Pov Alpha Xavier**I woke slowly, feeling the warmth of the morning sun streaming through the open window. I reached out, expecting to find Cassandra beside me, but the bed was empty and cold. I took a deep breath, still a bit groggy, and sat on the edge of the mattress. The feeling of dizziness seemed to cling to me, but I ignored it and headed straight to the bathroom. I washed my face, trying to clear the fog from my mind, and when I returned to the bedroom, I noticed the sweet, familiar scent was imbued in every corner.My wolf was more agitated than usual, and I felt him getting euphoric, shouting, “Mate…”His voice echoed in my mind, and I felt as if something had awakened inside me. I quickly began to search through the sheets, the bed, the pillows, the curtains everything. Absolutely everything seemed to be permeated with the scent of my destined mate."It can't be..." I murmured in surprise. After years of being alone, I thought the Moon Goddess had forgotten me, that I was

POV CASSANDRAAs soon as I entered the house, I couldn't hold back my tears. Ursula's note was clutched tightly in my hands, like an anchor that seemed to keep me standing while also pulling me into an abyss of pain. I barely registered my surroundings, just kept moving forward, as if my feet knew where to go.Xavier was sitting, staring at the fireplace, a glass of whiskey in one hand, his gaze lost in the flames. As soon as he heard me turn, he began to speak:"Finally, you're back. I was beginning to think..."But before he could finish, I crossed the distance between us and threw myself into his arms, pressing my face against his chest, not caring if he would understand or not. I just wanted that moment of comfort. The tears, so contained on the way, now flowed freely, soaking his shirt. Xavier, surprised at first, soon wrapped his arms around me, his warmth embracing me firmly.“Cassie... what happened?” he murmured, his voice gentle as he stroked my back, trying, even without kn

POV ALPHA XAVIERI entered the bathroom and turned on the faucet, letting the sound of the water drown out any other noise. I knew Cassandra was on the other side of the wall, and, if only for a moment, I wanted her to believe that everything was fine. Keeping my face steady, I turned to the mirror and, in a burst of pent-up rage, punched the glass directly. The shards scattered across the floor as blood dripped from my hand, the pain burning intensely. I took a deep breath, letting out a growl from deep in my chest, tasting the bitter flavor of everything I’d kept inside for so long.I grabbed a small cloth, pulling the glass fragments from my skin, each one cutting deeper, until I finally wrapped my hand tightly. I took off my clothes, letting them drop heavily to the floor, as though each piece carried a weight I bore, and stepped into the bathtub. The hot water embraced my tense muscles, relaxing every exhausted part of my body, but only on the outside. Inside, my wolf, Ragnar, wa

Pov CassandraWe arrived at the grand hall of the castle, where the Alpha King awaited us with his entourage of staff. There were at least a dozen people, all lined up, in uniform, with serious expressions. He introduced each of them with an air of pride—servants to cater to my whims and needs, people who would attend to Xavier, along with a few guards assigned for our "security."I noticed Xavier’s rigid posture beside me, silent, but something in his expression and the restless golden eyes of his wolf showed a discomfort that only I seemed to perceive. The tension was palpable, and to calm him, I held his hand firmly, thanking the Alpha King with a calculated smile.“We deeply appreciate, Your Majesty, the hospitality and this gift. They will be of great help to us. Thank you for everything during our stay,” I said, forcing myself to keep a serene tone.The Alpha King simply nodded, his cold eyes analyzing every detail of our farewell, as Luna Katy approached to say goodbye.
