• Curse of the Alpha demon   Taking out my anger.

  Ryker’s POV The house was easier to infiltrate than I had expected. Alpha Kane's security was impressive by normal standards, but normal standards didn't account for the abilities that came with being what I was. I'd slipped through shadows that shouldn't have been able to conceal a man my size, moved with a silence that defied the creaking floorboards of the old mansion.Now I sat on Kane's bed in the master bedroom, perfectly still in the darkness, waiting. The plan was simple – drag Kane outside where Alec and Jaxon were positioned, then deliver the beating I'd been promising myself since learning what the bastard had done.The sound of footsteps on the stairs made my muscles tense with anticipation. Kane was finally home.The bedroom door opened, and Alpha Kane stepped inside, reaching for the light switch. When the room flooded with warm yellow light, he froze, his hand still on the wall, staring at me with a mixture of shock and rapidly growing anger."What the hell are you doi

• Curse of the Alpha demon   What would it cost me?

  Serena’s POV The words felt like a punch to my gut and left my lips wide open."You're thinking too hard about this, Serena," he said. "You don't have to be surprised. I know everything about you. Every detail of your life, every secret you think you're keeping."My heart hammered against my ribs. "How is that possible?""Ryker is a close friend of mine," he said, and my blood turned to ice water. "Or rather, he was."The words hit me like a physical blow. I pressed myself back against the leather seat, my mind racing. Had Ryker sent this creature after me? Was this some twisted form of punishment for what I'd done?"He sent you," I whispered, my voice barely audible. "He sent you to—""Oh no," the creature interrupted, his smile widening. "Quite the opposite, actually. Ryker and I are enemies now. Have been for some time."Despite my terror, I found myself leaning forward slightly. "Enemies?""Very much so. Which is why I find your current situation so... interesting." His eyes glit

• Curse of the Alpha demon   absorbs conversation.

  Serena’s POV The morning had started with such promise. I had dressed carefully for my job search, choosing a professional blazer that didn't yet show my growing belly and comfortable flats for what I knew would be a long day of walking. I'd printed out copies of my resume the night before, highlighting my qualifications and experience with the kind of optimism I hadn't felt in months.But each interview had ended the same way. Polite smiles followed by vague excuses about "needing someone with more experience" or "looking for a different skill set." By the fourth rejection, I could see the pattern forming. Something was wrong, but I couldn't put my finger on what."We'll be in touch," the last interviewer had said, though we both knew no call would come.Now I walked down the busy sidewalk, my resume folder clutched tightly in my hands, trying not to let the disappointment overwhelm me. I needed this independence, needed to prove to myself that I could build a life without relying o

• Curse of the Alpha demon   Forgive her.

  Ryker’s POV I sat hunched over my computer in the dim light of my office, scrolling through various documents and reports. The glow of the screen reflected off my face, highlighting the sharp angles that had grown more pronounced over the past few weeks. Work had become my refuge, the one place where I could focus my mind on something other than the mess my personal life had become.The soft knock on my door interrupted my concentration. "Come in," I called without looking up.Jaxon stepped inside, closing the door behind him with a quiet click. He studied me for a moment before speaking. "You look better than when you first left the house," he observed, settling into the chair across from my desk.I finally glanced up from my screen, a slight smile tugging at the corner of my mouth. "That's because I've found something else to keep me busy.""Work has always been your escape," Jaxon noted, though there was no judgment in his tone. "What's got your attention this time?"I leaned back

• Curse of the Alpha demon   moving out.

  Serena’s POV I jabbed the power button on the remote with more force than necessary, the screen going black with a sharp click. The image of my mother's radiant face next to that creature's smile was burned into my retinas, making my stomach churn with a mixture of rage and disgust.I threw the remote across the room, where it clattered against the wall and fell to the carpet. The sound was satisfying in a small, petty way, but it did nothing to ease the storm of emotions raging inside my chest."Damn you, Juliana," I whispered to the empty room. "Damn you and your perfect little life."Sleep was impossible after that. I spent the rest of the night pacing the small hotel room, my mind racing between the creature's words and the sight of my mother looking so blissfully happy. Every shadow seemed to move, every creak of the building made me jump, but I refused to acknowledge the fear creeping up my spine.I was done being afraid. Done letting my imagination run wild with thoughts of de

• Curse of the Alpha demon   Terrified

  Serena’s POVI stood frozen in the spot where the creature had vanished, his words echoing in my mind like a death knell: 'You're carrying a beast's child yourself.' The casual way he'd said it, as if commenting on the weather, made my blood run cold. How could he possibly know about the baby? How could he know about Ryker?When the shock finally released its grip on me, I spun around frantically, scanning every corner of the bar. He had to be here somewhere. "Excuse me," I called to the bartender, my voice trembling with barely controlled panic. "The man who was just here – tall, dark hair, he was standing right by the bathroom door just a moment ago."The bartender looked up from the glass he was polishing, his expression genuinely confused. "What man, miss? You've been standing there by yourself for the past few minutes. Are you feeling alright?"My heart sank. I turned to the other patrons, the elderly man by the window, the couple in the corner booth. "Did any of you see him? Th
