All Chapters of The Alpha's Cursed Mate : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Alpha Nicholas’ POVThe ride back to the pack had been long and grueling, but I did not stop. I had ridden through the night, barely giving my horse a chance to rest. I should have still been away, handling matters with the neighboring packs, but something had pulled me back. A deep unease sat heavy in my chest, one I could not shake, no matter how much I tried to convince myself it was nothing.That feeling had only grown stronger the closer I got to the pack.When I finally crossed into pack land, the change in the air was immediate. It wasn’t something obvious—there was no chaos, no outright sign of danger—but there was something beneath the surface, something that made my wolf restless. The feeling of tension hung in the air like a quiet warning, one I did not yet understand.As I neared the pack house, I caught the wary glances of a few warriors who had been patrolling. Their surprise at my early return was clear on their faces, but no one questioned me. They simply bowed their h

Tiara's POVI jerked awake to the sound of howls.Not the usual howls of my packmates patrolling the borders. These were different—louder, more vicious.I sat up, my heart pounding against my ribs. Outside, chaos erupted. Growls, snapping jaws, and the desperate shouts of warriors filled the night air.Mia stirred in my mind. Something is wrong.I scrambled to my feet. The shed door rattled as heavy footsteps pounded the ground outside. I reached for the old wooden plank I sometimes used to keep the door shut, but before I could secure it, the door was pushed open.I gasped, stumbling backward.“Tiara!”It was Nina.Her face was pale, her breathing frantic.“They’re attacking!” Nina’s voice trembled. “Rogues. They’re everywhere. You have to come with me!”I barely had time to react before another distant howl sent a shiver down my spine.“What’s happening?” I demanded.“I don’t know! The warriors are fighting, but—” Nina gulped. “Some of them knew exactly where to strike. It’s like th

Tiara's POVMy body ached as I moved through the broken halls of the pack house, my steps careful as I listened to the chaos outside. The battle had spread beyond the borders. Growls and cries echoed through the night, blending with the clash of claws and teeth.I wasn’t supposed to be here.But something pulled me in.An instinct I couldn’t ignore.Something felt wrong.I stepped over a shattered chair, pressing my back against the cold stone wall as I peered around the corner. My breath hitched.A man—one of our guards.A trusted warrior.Leading an enemy wolf.My stomach twisted.I didn’t move.The rogue followed closely behind him, its posture too relaxed—like it knew it was being protected.I inhaled sharply, willing my mind to process what I was seeing.A traitor.I watched as the guard stopped near a section of the wall. He pressed his palm against it, and to my horror, a hidden passage opened, revealing a dark tunnel leading deeper into the pack house.How long had this been h

Tiara’s POVThe sun had barely risen when we left MoonCrown. The air was cool, filled with the damp scent of dew-covered earth. My heart felt heavy as I sat behind Nicholas on his large black stallion, gripping the saddle awkwardly.I didn’t know where I belonged anymore.MoonCrown had never been home, but it was all I had ever known. Now, I was leaving it behind, stepping into a future I didn’t fully understand. The only thing I knew for sure was that Nicholas had chosen to take me with him and in that moment, there couldn't have been a better option.His back was straight, his posture unwavering as he led our small group forward. His scent—something deep and woodsy—was unavoidable this close. Every time the horse moved beneath us, my knees bumped against his thighs, and my fingers twitched as they hovered just above his waist. I didn’t dare hold onto him fully, even though the ride was far from smooth.The warriors behind us rode in tense silence. They weren’t MoonCrown wolves. Thes

Tiara’s POVThe journey to ForestHowl felt endless. My body ached from riding for so long, and my thoughts were just as restless as my limbs. I had no idea what to expect once we arrived. Would they allow me inside? Would they accept me? Or would I be thrown out the moment Nicholas decided he had done enough for me?The warriors escorting us hardly spoke, but their presence was a constant reminder that I didn’t belong. Every time I glanced back, I saw them watching—not with anger, but with something else. Something unreadable.When we finally approached the borders of ForestHowl’s territory, the trees grew denser, towering over us like silent guards. The air was cooler, fresher, carrying the faintest scent of pine. The moment we passed into their land, I held my breath.Then, I saw them.Warriors stood at the edge of the trees, their figures blending into the landscape. They were waiting. My stomach clenched as they stepped forward, eyes scanning the group. They were dressed in dark l
