All Chapters of Fated To The Cursed And Cruel Alpha: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Ian’s pov;My brother was such a fool and I wondered why he couldn’t see that.He had been so lost in his grief, and I could almost taste the opportunity. The throne of Longor Crest Kingdom was even more closer than ever, and I was more than happy to let the fool revel in his grief.Ever since I had known him, he had always been like that, soft, sentimental, never the true leader our kingdom needed.I was sure that our father knew it, too, but due to the fact that Harold was the first, I had always been behind him or in his shadows and that had always stood in the way of my ambitions. That was before King Ackerman’s death, of course. Now, there was no one to stop me, not Harold and certainly not the Dowager who was bold enough to do what needed to be done.As I left the room after my brief encounter with Noreen, I reveled in the satisfaction of knowing that the Omega trusted me. She was a simple pawn, but a necessary one. She had Harold’s attention, and that could work to my advantage

Alpha Harold’s pov;The room went still instantly and my heart slammed hard against my chest.That ring meant a lot to not just me, but to the entire seven packs.It was a relic of our lineage, passed down through generations. It was meant to be worn by the next ruler—by me. But it had disappeared.My instincts told me this wasn’t a coincidence. My poisoning, the missing ring—it was all connected. And Ian, that conniving snake, was at the center of it.But more importantly, how had the ring gone missing right when I had been poisoned?I called for a search of the entire packhouse. Guards and pack members were dispatched to comb through every room, every hall. I couldn’t afford to let this slide. The ring symbolized not only my father’s reign but my claim to the throne. Without it, Ian had a legitimate chance of undermining my rule, claiming that I wasn’t fit to wear the crown due to my carelessness in handling the ring—it had gone missing right in front of me!I used the opportunity t

Noreen’s pov;I hugged my knees to my chest and wondered why this wing of the dungeon was so silent, had they chained me in somewhere dangerous?I wondered if this was the very cell Avery had stayed and if this was her revenge towards me.Why had this even happened to me?I didn’t take the ring, And yet, here I was, condemned to this miserable cell, my second chance mate refusing to believe a word I said and calling me a liar, condemning me right in front of the entire packs and in front of Ryder and Heather!.The weight of betrayal sat heavy on my chest, making it hard to breathe. I had hoped, somewhere deep down, that Harold would come to his senses but it had been so long now and I wondered if I’d ever get out of here?Perhaps I was going to be dumped here, nobody would come to look for me. Unlike the Crestwoods who would come to look for their daughter, nobody would ever care about me that way!Suddenly, the sound of footsteps echoed through the hallways, breaking the silence. M

Ian’s pov;Ian was about to head to the garden where he knew Noreen was when his mother spoke, stopping him.“Mother..how are you doing?” His mother looked weary, the weight of the king’s death weighing too much on her.She had always been a soft and gentle woman. One who never wanted any anymosity between the dowager and herself. She still clung to the belief that my father had really meant for me to rule after him.Of course I couldn’t let her know about all of my schemes, it would break her heart to know that I had to kill her beloved husband.“I’m fine, you’ve been scarce these days, where are you going?” She smiled lightly and the corners of her eyes crinkled, her brown eyes glowing in the darkness.I had gotten my beauty from her and only my hair color came from my father.“I just want to take a walk…to clear my head,” o averted her gaze as she stared at me. “I still can’t believe that my father is dead.”She nodded and placed her hand on my shoulder. “It’s time for you to step

Alpha Harold’s pov;When I prepared to go to the ground council meeting that morning, I instantly knew that something was wrong. I couldn’t quite place my finger on it, but I knew that something else was wrong.“What has Ian and the Queen been up to this past few days?” I wanted to push the doubt I had aside.“Nothing much Alpha. They’ve been keeping a low profile. The Queen has been busting herself with speaking to the other high ladies of this pack.”I furrowed my brows, wondering what she needed to talk about with the other ladies that required her to be busy so much with them.“And do you know what they’ve been talking about?”From the corner of my eyes, I could see that Norman was stifling a smile and I wondered what was so funny.“What is it? What are they talking about?”“It’s about Alpha Ian’s Marriage, she’s looking for a suitable bride for him.”I chuckled at that thought as I made my way to the grand hall where the meeting would be held.The grand council chamber was stifli
