All Chapters of The Alpha Kings’ Curse Breaker: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Gianna’s POVI woke up with a groan, the weight of yesterday’s embarrassment hitting me like an ugly train. My mind replayed every detail of what happened between us, refusing to let me escape. And as if the memory wasn’t tormenting enough, I’d dreamt about it over and over. His hands gripping my waist, his lips devouring mine, the press of his body so firm and good beneath me. I clenched my thighs together biting back a frustrated sound when I realized the dampness between my legs wasn’t from any dreamland fantasy but a very real, very physical reaction. Great. I murmured in my head. Just what I needed to start my morning, being reminded that my body was fully betraying me. I sat up and rubbed my face, letting out another groan. The kids weren’t in the room, which wasn’t unusual, but the faint sound of laughter and chaos from downstairs told me exactly where they were. Kayden was feeling better then. That made me smile, even if it was short-lived, because the second I thought

Gianna’s POVWe turned back toward the cabin the weight of our conversation still very heavy between us. I didn’t even realize how close King had gotten until the rough bark of a tree trunk pressed into my back. I was deep in my thought to notice. My breath caught as he loomed over me, his hands braced on either side of my head, caging me in. "King," I started but the word barely left my lips before his eyes dark as a storm, pinned me in place. His body pressed into mine, every hard, muscular line of him molding against me. I could feel his heat, his power, the tension radiating from him like a live wire. Just as it had yesterday. My heartbeat thundered in my ears, a mix of anticipation and anger coiling in my chest. He wasn’t just close, he was suffocatingly close the air between us thick and charged. With so much hatred and lust. Hatred that we wanted each other the way we do. His gaze dropped to my lips, lingering there as if they held some kind of answer he was desperate t

King’s POVThe cabin was unusually quiet save for the occasional crackle of the fireplace and the low murmur of voices as Liam, Tom, and I sat at the small dining table. The air felt heavy and loaded with the kind of tension that had become second nature over the years. The three of us were huddled close, the weight of our decades long plan pressing down on us as we spoke in hushed tones."The Alpha Kings are already sniffing where they shouldn’t," Liam said, his sharp blue eyes flicking toward me. "If we don’t move quickly, this whole thing is going to fall apart." I leaned back in my chair, my arms crossed over my chest. "It’s not that simple," I muttered, my voice tighter than I intended. "They aren’t just sniffing. They’re digging. They’re calculating. They’ve spent their lives perfecting the art of control." Tom, sitting to my right rubbed a hand over his stubbled jaw his expression unreadable. He has been so tired lately I wonder what is going on with him. “This thing we’v

Gianna’s POVThe rogue’s smirk lingered as he stepped closer to the edge of the river, his confidence stinking even with the rushing water between us. I stood my ground, every muscle in my body coiled tight ready for whatever he was planning. Blair shifted behind me, her growl a low, steady warning. They are a threat. “Careful.” He said, raising a hand as if to placate us. “I’m not here to pick a fight. At least, not yet.” His companion remained in wolf form, pacing just behind him like a shadow its glowing eyes trained on Blair. That one looks like bad news. “You’re trespassing.” I said, my voice firm and even despite the fear in me. “Give us one good reason why we shouldn’t rip you apart right now.” The rogue laughed at that the sound grating that set my teeth on edge. “You could try, sweetheart, but I think you’ll want to hear what I have to say first.” Blair’s growl deepened, but I held up a hand, signaling her to wait. She is already angry all her decisions won’t make s

Gianna’s POVThe walk back through the woods felt different this time. Lighter somehow. My mind was no longer clouded with the rogue’s bad intentions or the weight of the world that seemed to rest on my shoulders. For the first time in what felt like forever, I had a plan. Of my own!It wasn’t perfect, maybe even far from it. It wasn’t even something I could tell anyone about, not even King. Especially not King. The rogue’s words replayed on repeat in my head. “He’s protecting you, sure, but for the endgame. Don’t mistake his protection for trust. He’s keeping secrets and so should you.”At first, I had frowned at the suggestion. But then I’d thought of all the times King had blatantly told me I was a pawn in his game. A means to an end. He’d never sugarcoated it and never pretended otherwise. If he could keep his cards close to his chest, why couldn’t I? By the time I reached the cabin, the tension in my shoulders had eased. My steps felt steady and my resolve solid. I didn’t h
