All Chapters of The Alphas' Cursed Mate : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Aria's Pov.I darted all the way from the river bank where I had stopped for a water break when I saw them chasing after me again. Still in my wolf form, I had all the strength tatic and agility to run from my pursuers. Do I know them? No, why were they after me? I can't say but all I know is I can't stop running.“Keep running after her. We can't have rogues up in our territory” I heard someone yell behind me. Seemed to be in his human form, but something about his voice rang a bell. It was like I knew who it was.. but… before I could process my thoughts, a sharp arrow impaled my leg making me stagger but couldn't stop me.“Tired. Tired. Tired” my wolf growled within us and I knew if we stopped we'd be dead. Ever since I made the choice to stay away from Xanthea, these people have been up in our tail - literally in our tail. Wanting to catch us and throw us in their dungeon. “This isn't what I wanted. I wanted Xanthea to breathe, wanted him to be himself and be free from my curse.

Ryder's pov.I couldn't take it anymore. I was the cause of it but I just couldn't take it anymore.Her eyes held pain, agony and plea but I closed the door on her.A loud sigh escaped my mouth as I stood in front of Aria's Door, staring with regret and contemplation.“She's going to be fine” the doctor said while following Xanthea out of the room.I stared at them, following their movement while lost in my own thoughts. Another sighed escaped my lips and I felt a deep hollow void in my heart.Few minutes back when Darcey was about to carry out her next plan, I stopped her.Flashback…few hours ago before Darcey was arrested.The door creaked opened, it has been eerie quiet and I had a feeling something bad had really happened.I don't know why my heart is thumping so loud. If Aria is really dead, that means all my troubles are finally gone. Xanthea would be so broken that he would leave the position to me.“Isn't that the reason you called Darcey in the first place?” My subconscious m

Xanthea pov The devastating news came to me as soon as I arrived at the meeting, which I then had to hurry up, dismiss the meeting and book a flight back. I knew that Aria wasn't in safe hands with Darcey but I had entrusted her with Leo, asking him to keep a close eye on Darcey. Why did he have to leave? My mind kept reeling with a series of questions and doubts.Fortunately,the police came in time to take her away before more harm was done. What was I thinking? I could believe Darcey when she said she'd look after Aria.“Give her this and make sure she stays relaxed often, her legs would heal” the doctor said handing me a drug before leaving. I went back inside with a heavy heart, and gently Opened the door.Ryder was gone now and Aria was on the verge of tears.. or not.I walked in slowly Into the room and sat across from her, letting the silence envelope my sense of thought leaving me with regret and void.“I should have known” I let out softly then she turned to me “It wasn't

Aria's pov Still standing in awe as I saw Lena standing beside the man. She's not meant to be here, or least I thought.“What are you doing here, Lena?” I mouthed hoping she understood. However, Arthur, the party thrower, Interrupted me.“Xanthea, you never told me this was your mate” Arthur said with a broad smile while staring at me, I forced a smile but all I could think about was Lena The last time I met her, she told me she was going back to the university.“Well, that's why I brought her,” Xanthea replied.Lena excused herself and left, I was tempted to go after her but Xanthea held me back. My hands were around his arm, in a tight grip.“Come on, have your seats” Arthur said and we both took our seats.Few minutes into the luxurious opulence of the party, I was beginning to feel overwhelmed. I felt so out of place, loner and commoner in the midst of royalties.Everyone seems to know themselves, even Xanthea. They all dressed and talked fancy. I never believed I didn't catch

Xanthea P.o.vI hadn't realized when the word flew from my mouth. I didn't want Aria to know about him, however seeing him here means he is up to a devious plan…. To kill me.Randy and I were once childhood friends, but because our fathers were rivals, we had no choice to turn against each other. Although I never wanted that friendship to end, Randy was always trying to overshadow me in everything… his competitiveness left him jealous and envious over my success which he then swore to bring me down no matter what.“Why would he want to kill you?” Aria's soft expression pulled from my thoughts.Shaking my head, I sat down at the slab, looking out at the moon and the snow.Remeinsnecong, on the words she said earlier. Her cute jealous act made me smile, and an image of her cheeks burning in embarrassment flashed in my memory.“He just hates me, and as earlier stated, he is looking for ways to bring me down” I said not sparing her any glance, as I tried to shake off her image from my hea
