Chapter One: The Curse

Nitkita's povThe grand hall of our ancestral mansion was opulent, draped in the deepest crimson tapestries and illuminated by the flickering light of golden chandeliers. It felt both majestic and intimidating. My parents, the formidable Alpha Vladimir and Luna Katarina, sat alongside me at the head of the room. I was only a child at six years old.Father's eyes were a glacier of contempt as the doors to the grand hall creaked open. A frail figure stepped inside, his posture slumped as if bearing the weight of the world. His name was Alpha Dominic, the leader of a small, faltering pack on the outskirts of our territory. His eyes darted nervously but determinedly around the room until they landed on my father's face."Alpha Vladimir," he began, his voice quivering with desperation, "I come to you in dire need. My pack is on the verge of annihilation. The Rogues... they are merciless."Father raised an eyebrow, leaning back in his gilded chair. Mother remained unperturbed, her eyes fixe

Chapter Two: The Awakening

Nikita's POVThe morning sun filtered through the heavy drapes, casting a warm, golden glow across the room. I blinked, the remnants of a feverish sleep fading away as clarity returned. My head no longer throbbed, and the fire that had consumed my body had extinguished itself, leaving behind a cool, calming sensation. Tentatively, I touched my forehead—no fever.I bolted upright, swinging my legs over the edge of the bed. Energy surged through me, invigorating my every muscle.I sprang to my feet, excitement bubbling within me. "Mummy! Daddy!" I shouted, rushing towards the hallway.My bare feet clattered down the wooden stairs as I darted toward the dining room. The scent of breakfast—crispy bacon, fresh-baked bread, and warm honey—drew me in like a magnet. Pushing open the heavy door, I burst into the room, my heart soaring at the sight of my parents."Mummy! Daddy was right! I feel much better!" I exclaimed, my voice echoing through the room.Mother turned, her deep blue eyes softe

Chapter Three: The Shattering

Nikita’s POV12 years laterYears had passed since that fateful day. The once beautiful mansion had become my prison, and I had grown into my curse. My life had turned into a series of controlled experiments; every touch ended in death, and each loss scarred my body in ink-black marks. The darkness inside me mirrored the dark tattoos that now adorned my once-pale skin.By my eighteenth birthday, my golden hair had turned midnight black as I mourned each life taken by my cursed touch. I had become a weapon, honed and sharpened by my father’s relentless conditioning. My once-bright blue eyes had darkened with the weight of too many deaths.As I looked into the mirror, the void in my eyes stared back at me. A knock at the door broke my trance.“Nikita,” a voice called softly. It was Father’s faithful beta, Yuri. “Your father requests your presence.”I tightened my long leather gloves—layers upon layers of false security. There was no skin-to-skin contact and no unexpected deaths, but eve

Chapter Four: A Harbinger of Fate

Rykor's POVThe oak trees outside my office window bowed under the force of a relentless night wind. I leaned back in my chair, steepling my fingers over the desk cluttered with reports and strategies. My pack had grown strong from its previous state of despair, but nights like this always reminded me of the storms we had yet to weather.The rhythmic ticking of the old grandfather clock gave a reliable accompaniment to my thoughts. It was my solace, a repetitive measure of time that kept me tethered when the weight of my responsibilities felt too immense.A sudden but soft knock at the door pulled me sharply from my thoughts. “Enter,” I called in a measured tone.My Beta, Thorne, stepped into the room, his usually unflappable demeanour uncharacteristically tense. The flickering firelight cast shadows over his rugged, battle-worn face, emphasising lines and anxieties that few ever saw. He cleared his throat, hesitating for a brief second, words seemingly stuck in his chest.“What is it

Chapter Five: The Farewell

Nikita's POVThe air was chilly, a thin veil of mist wrapping around the forest clearing like a shroud. Today was the day we said our final goodbyes to Father. I stood before the mirror, adjusting my black dress, the fabric tight and suffocating around my frame. The dark stain of my curse peeked out from the hem of my gloves.With a deep breath, I gathered myself. Today, I had to face them—not just my pack but others from neighbouring territories, each one curious or fearful of the Luna of Death. I exited my quarters, a dark spectre in the hauntingly silent corridor, and made my way to the clearing where Father's body awaited its final rest.The clearing was bathed in the weak light of late afternoon, the sun barely piercing through the gathering clouds. As I emerged, the murmurs of the crowd ceased, and a hush fell over the assembly. The light of torches flickered around me, casting long, eerie shadows as the air grew thick with anticipation.Father's body lay upon a grand wooden pyr

Chapter Six: The Throne of Shadows

Nikita's POVThe grand hall felt particularly cold today. An icy breath exhaled from its stone walls. A heavy silence weighed on me as I approached Father's throne, my steps echoing in a morose symphony. Taking my seat on the grand, leather-bound chair, the memories of my cruel yet loving father resurfaced, conflicting emotions waging war inside me. I never thought I’d sit here with him gone, but now, with the title of Luna of Death, responsibility had chained me to this throne.After a few minutes, the grand doors creaked open, and the hall began to fill. Pack members trickled in, their eyes avoiding mine, their whispers scarcely audible but undoubtedly about me. I sat still, staring blankly at the growing crowd. The soft murmurs increased but remained out of earshot, each word a reminder of the isolation my curse guaranteed.People approached, offering their condolences. "I'm so sorry, Nikita," one of the elders said. I nodded absently, their voices blending into a meaningless hum.

Chapter seven: Feeling Fear

Nikita's POVAs I stepped out into the dimly lit corridor, the oppressive atmosphere of the grand hall left behind, a sudden, crippling pain shot through my body. It was as if my very bones had been set aflame. Gasping, I fell to my knees, unable to support myself any longer. Fear gnawed at me, a feeling I hadn't allowed myself to experience in years. What was happening to me? The hallways of my home, usually so familiar, now seemed menacing.My vision blurred as the pain intensified, each breath a struggle. I clutched at my chest, desperately trying to stabilise myself, but the pain only deepened. I crawled towards the nearest nook, a dark corner where the shadows offered a semblance of protection—though I knew it was a fragile illusion. The sound of a door creaking open behind me sent a dangerous spike of adrenaline through my veins. No, not now. I couldn't be seen like this. Weakness invites challenge, and in my world, it almost always ends in blood. My father's voice echoed in my

Chapter Eight: The Witch's Visit

Nikita's POVThe morning brought no solace. After another sleepless night, tossing and turning in a vain attempt to find peace, I found myself seated on my father's old throne.Father's throne, once a symbol of his iron will and love for his pack, now felt like a prison. It was strange sitting here, the weight of the Luna of Death title pressing down on me. Imagining the simple warmth of human touch was a cruel joke."Your presence is requested," Yuri said, snapping me from my reverie. He walked in with a purpose, his voice echoing through the empty hall. "The witch has arrived.""Good," I replied coldly. "Send her in." It barely mattered to me who entered the hall; in my eyes, they all seemed like shadows, fleeting and intangible.Yuri opened the heavy double doors wider, and the witch entered, her dark cloak flowing gracefully around her. She moved with an eerie, almost ethereal grace. As she approached, she slowly pulled back her hood, revealing a face that spoke of ancient wisdom

Chapter Nine: She is Nothing to Fear

Rykor’s POVSweat ran down my brow as I trained harder than I ever had before in hopes that it would help me get her off my mind. After leaving the funeral, I went home and found myself sitting in my office reading a book about her. The stories were those that nightmares were made of, but I found them hard to believe because the girl I had seen yesterday was no monster. She was nothing more than a small girl, a beautiful one but nonetheless a small, unthreatening girl.Running again to the other side of the training ground, I pushed myself harder, running faster as if I were trying to run away from thoughts of her. As I paused at the other end, trying to catch my breath, I spotted my beta, Thorne, walking towards me with purpose. Letting out a sigh, I readied myself for whatever he was about to say.“Alpha, you’ve been called upon.” Thorne's voice was urgent. “By the Luna of Death.”I couldn’t help but chuckle, shaking my head. “Her name is Nikita, Thorne. We don’t need to use a name

Chapter Ten: Tensions Rising

Nikita's POVMy finger tapped the side of my chair as I waited for Rykor's arrival. Yuri stood silent beside me, but I could tell there was something bothering him by the way he kept glancing over at me every few seconds.“What is it, Yuri?” I finally said, not bothering to find the irritation in my voice.Yuri hesitated for a moment, but then his face hardened with resolve. “Nikita, the pack is unsettled by your choice to bring in the witch when our kingdom has forbidden magic for so long.”I gave him a cold look and remained silent, not bothering to engage in a futile debate.He pressed on, his concern evident in the tension lining his face. “Changing things like that is a dangerous game—one you do not wish to play.”From the corner of my eye, I saw his fingers twitch nervously. The audacity of his words sent a wave of anger through me. I stood up from my throne in one swift motion, my eyes blazing with fury. “Is that a threat, Yuri?”Yuri met my gaze without flinching, his voice st
