All Chapters of Marked by the Alpha: Mated to the cursed twins : Chapter 121 - Chapter 129

Alpha Cormac POV I had not thought the engagement would end like that—so public especially not when I was making an impression on the pack I had spent years building the alliance with." I look forward to our alliance" Alpha Garrett muttered grabbing my hand in a stiff handshake that I immediately returned." Thank you" " I am also very sorry about such dismal nuptials, perhaps they will be good news soon" he continued and I offered him a slight grin, he was trying to poke at my wound but I wouldn't let him see that, once our goodbyes were made, I watched them go. The sound of the Creek Pack’s transportation fading into the distance was a relief, and it did little to quell the storm raging inside me. I was not a man prone to feeling shame, it was not an emotion that was not conducive to a leader but on occasions I felt a stab of disappointment, pain and that was what I felt the most after the engagement ceremony that was supposed to cement an alliance,and show the other packs out

Axel POV I wasn’t one for grand romantic gestures; I made them but never wholeheartedly. Zarek had always been the charming one, especially if he put his mind to it; he was the one with an easy smile and a way with words. I was better at action—solving problems, leading when I had to, protecting what mattered most. But this time, words and action wouldn’t be enough. Lunette kept slipping away from us with every passing day, and no matter how many times Zarek and I tried to talk to her, she shut us out.She was angry and hurt in ways I wasn’t sure we could fix. But I couldn’t just stand by and watch her drift away either. We needed her, and so we just had to put in the work, but Zarek was frustrated with me and my idea to take it slowly, and he was off somewhere sulking.Which was why I found myself alone, standing on the rooftop of the west wing, watching over the finishing touches for a dinner I had no idea how to pull off. The rooftop offered a breathtaking view of the surroundi

Lunette POV Axel’s hand was warm against mine as he led me down the staircase, each of our steps echoing softly through the quiet halls. The rooftop dinner had been romantic and lingered in my mind even long after it was done—I could still remember the laughter in his eyes and the way his words had wrapped around my heart, making me feel all warm and fuzzy."You already have my heart." He'd said to me, the weight of that confession pressed on my chest, leaving me breathless.I stole a glance at him as we walked; down the stairs, his sharp features softened in the dim light. He was quiet, but his thumb kept brushing lightly against the back of my hand, and that small but simple gesture sent my pulse racing. “Thank you for tonight,” I said softly, breaking the silence.  He tilted his head, his piercing blue eyes locking with mine. “You don’t need to thank me,

Zarek POV The sun dipped below the bright white clouds , casting it's too long shadows over the sprawling estate as I finalized my plans. Axel had made his move— a bold, passionate one that suit his temperament even though Axel was not know for grand gestures and while I was a tiny bit jealous this wasn’t about one-upping my brother at least not entirely.I wasn’t one to compete with my brother. Axel and I had always been close, our bond was unbreakable despite our differences. But now, with Lunette in the picture, everything was different. She wasn’t just someone either of us could step aside for. This was about Lunette.She was our mate. Our future. I wanted to show her who I was beneath the guarded exterior and prove that I, too, could give her something that my brother couldn't. I had a nasty temper because of my curse and so I liked to keep to myself so I didn't have outburst more than necessary. Which is how I found myself standing in front of Lunette’s door, my heart pou

Lunette POV I woke up slowly, I think it was the drop of water that woke me up first,one, two three tiny drops falling over my face, and then it was the morning light filtering through the trees and over my face, when I finally forced myself to open my eyes I did it slowly too accustoming myself to the bright light that kept painting the world in soft hues of gold. For a moment, I didn’t move, content to stay warm and still. But then I felt the steady rise and fall of someone’s chest beneath my cheek and the undeniable weight of an arm draped protectively over me. Zarek. He hadn't left, it was a stupid thought because of course he wouldn't have left, not when I was still here outside in his secret spot but in a way I wished he had left just like Axel the morning after, not having my mistake wrapped around me the next morning had been very freeing. I felt guilty for thinking that especially as the memories of the previous night came rushing back, Zarek's words, his vulnerability
