All Chapters of Curse of the Alpha demon: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Chapter 2“You’re smart enough to know when to walk away.”Nathaniel Parker leaned back in his chair, his eyes cool, amused—like he had already won.I couldn’t move.My fingers dug into the armrests of the chair in front of his desk, my entire body stiff as his words echoed in my head.Walk away?After everything I had done for this firm? After the years I spent proving myself?I had given this firm everything. Three years of law school, one year as an intern working myself to the bone just to prove I deserved a seat at the table. And when I finally got it, I didn’t waste a second.One year.One damn year.That was all it took for me to become one of the best junior defense attorneys in the firm. I had built a reputation for myself, sharp, relentless, undefeated. I had spent nights drowning in case files, mornings in court, afternoons battling men twice my age and winning.And the man who had guided me through it all? The one I had trusted the most?And in one day, it was all gone.He

Chapter 4Serena’s POVI woke up to warmth. To the slow rise and fall of steady breaths against my skin.For a moment, I was caught in the haze of sleep, my body tangled in soft sheets, my limbs heavy with exhaustion. My head ached, my throat was dry. I sucked in a sharp breath. I was naked.Panic surged through me, my heart slamming against my ribs as last night’s events came rushing back in fragmented pieces. The bar. The drinks. The men surrounding me.And him.My breath hitched as my gaze darted to the figure beside me. Broad shoulders. Tanned skin. A face that was both terrifying and breathtaking.Ryker.The man who killed my father.A choked sound rose in my throat as I jerked up, clutching the sheets to my chest. My pulse pounded violently as my mind screamed at me to run, to get as far away from him as possible. But before I could even move, his arm wrapped around my waist and pulled me back into the heat of his body.“I’ve missed you,” he murmured, his voice deep and husky a

Chapter 6 Serena’s POV I’ve come to realize that trying to change a demon’s point of view is like trying to change your destiny. It’s going to cost your life, and I’m not ready to lose mine because of a dickhead monster.After the long argument with Ryker, I was assigned a room — too big for only me. It felt like I was a stone being thrown into a vast sea, the way the room swallowed me.I stood up, wiping the tears that stained my lashes. This is not how I planned it. My plan was to sue the man who killed my father, but here I am, trapped in his kingdom with no way out.I moved to the window, staring at each maid that passed. They seemed to be living in fear, their heads bowed.I turned away. Staring at them only made the situation feel heavier.Ryker had made it clear we would be getting married by the weekend, and today? Today is my only chance to escape. If I want to leave, it has to be now — because tomorrow is already the weekend. He had mentioned it just to give me false hope.

Chapter 8Serena’s POVI should push him away.I should claw at his chest, fight, do anything to stop this.But I don’t.Ryker’s body cages me in, pressing me against the silk sheets, his scent thick in my nostrils, dark spice and danger. His hands roam over me, slow but possessive, like he’s mapping every inch of my body, claiming it.Heat coils deep in my stomach, a pulse of something dark and dangerous thrumming through my veins. I hate this. I hate him.But when his fingers drag lower, grazing the sensitive skin just above my hips, my breath stutters. My body betrays me.His lips graze my jaw, his breath hot against my skin. “You’re so warm, little hellfire,” he murmurs, voice rough with hunger. “Do you know what that does to me?”I bite my lip, fighting the response threatening to escape. But my body is already answering him, my thighs tense, my pulse erratic, heat pooling between my legs.He notices.Of course, he does.His smirk is wicked against my neck as he trails his mouth

Chapter 10Ryker’s POVThe scent of fresh pine and burning torches occupy everywhere, but it does nothing to ease the growing feeling pressing down on my chest. The grand hall is set. The ceremony is waiting. Wolves stand in perfect rows, their whispers like insects buzzing in my ears.Everything is in place.Except for Serena.My jaw tightens, my wolf growling in my head. The moment I woke up, the pack had already begun their preparations. The elders took their places. Even I, who have never given a damn about ceremonies, stood ready to bind myself to the one woman who could break me.And now, she’s missing.I scan the hall one more time, my patience thinning with every second. Where is she?I inhale deeply, sharpening my senses, trying to smell her. The scent is floral perfumes, the musk of alphas, the scent of burning candles. But none of it belongs to her.I turn on my heel and stride out of the hall.Alec steps into my path, frowning. “She’s not here?”I don’t answer. He already
