Curse of the Alpha demon
“I don’t negotiate, I take. But just this once… name it.” Ryker’s voice was low, commanding. “Whatever you want, it’s yours.”
Serena’s heart pounded. He had taken everything from her, her freedom, her choices, her life. And now, he was acting like he could grant her a wish?
“Huh?”
“Yes, speak your desire and I will make it a command.”
“Anything?”
He nodded, his grip firm around her waist, his golden eyes locked on her.
“Then I want your life. I want you dead!”
Silence filled the room. Serena braced herself for his anger. But instead, Ryker smiled.
“Alright.”
Before she could react, he turned and said, “Bring me a knife.”
The blade was cold in her hands, her fingers shaking as she clutched it. This was her chance, her revenge. The moment she had dreamed of. She didn’t hesitate.
The knife plunged into his chest.
His body fell. His blood spilled.
And yet, moments later… he was standing right in front of her.
Serena’s breath caught in her throat. She looked down, his lifeless body was still on the floor. But he… he was alive. Watching her. Smirking.
“You got what you wanted,” he said. “Now, it’s my turn.”
She had tried to kill the monster who killed her father right in front of her.
But monsters don’t die so easily.
And now, she was his.
“Welcome to my world.”

Chapter: I know you love me Chapter 48Serena's POVI couldn't believe it. I actually got married to him. To the monster who killed my father. To the man who had torn my world apart and then somehow convinced me to say "I do" in front of his entire pack.The memory of the ceremony played on repeat in my mind like it just happened yesterday. Ryker's intense gaze as we exchanged vows, the way his hands had trembled slightly when he slipped the ring onto my finger, the kiss that had sealed our union. At the time, caught up in the moment and the strange pull I felt toward him, it had felt right. But now, I felt nothing but disgust with myself.How could I have been so weak? How could I have let him manipulate me into this?A soft knock at the door interrupted my self-loathing spiral. "Come in," I called, though I didn't bother to lift my head from the pillow.Mendy entered carrying a silver tray laden with food - fresh fruit, warm pastries, scrambled eggs, and what looked like homemade jam."Good morning, My Luna,"

Chapter: Marriage Serena's POV 3 days later The tears came in waves, each one carrying memories I desperately wanted to forget but couldn't escape. Dad teaching me to ride a bike, his steady hands on my shoulders. "I've got you, sweetheart. I'll never let you fall." His laugh echoing through our small kitchen as he attempted to flip pancakes, flour somehow ending up in his dark hair. Now I was about to marry the man who had stolen all of that from me. I curled into a ball on the bed, my wedding dress, if you could call this mockery a wedding, hanging like a specter in the corner. The white silk seemed to mock me, a symbol of purity and joy when all I felt was darkness and despair. A soft knock interrupted my spiral of grief. "Serena?" Alec's voice was gentle through the door. "May I come in?" I didn't answer, but he entered anyway, his footsteps careful on the hardwood floor. The bed dipped as he sat beside me, maintaining a respectful distance. "I know this isn't what you wanted," h

Chapter: You killed her father Ryker's POVThe memory played in my mind like a broken record.The man who had tried to hit on Serena stumbling backward into the shadows behind the mansion, his face a mask of drunken arrogance even as I pinned him against the stone wall."You touched what's mine," I had growled, my hand around his throat."She's just some whore," he'd gasped, his breath reeking of alcohol and stupidity. "What's the big deal?"The rage that had consumed me in that moment was unlike anything I'd felt in years. My wolf had surged forward, demanding blood, demanding justice for the terror I'd seen in Serena's eyes. My claws had extended, pressing against his jugular until I could feel his pulse hammering against the razor-sharp points.One more second. One more ounce of pressure and he would have been nothing more than a memory.But I had stopped. At the last possible moment, reason had prevailed over instinct. Because killing him, would have meant war. And with Serena not yet officially my mate, not y

Chapter: Trip Serena's POVThe tension in my body was unbearable. I couldn't stand there another second, pretending everything was fine while Ryker looked at me with that cold, dismissive expression. Without waiting for him to say anything else, I turned on my heel and walked toward the exit, my hands shaking with a mixture of anger and residual fear from my encounter with that man.The cool night air hit my face as I stepped outside, but it did nothing to calm the storm raging inside me. I spotted the car waiting in the circular driveway and practically ran toward it, desperate to get away from this place.The driver, opened the door for me without a word. I slid into the backseat, my breathing still uneven as I tried to process everything that had happened."When is Ryker joining us?" I asked as the driver got behind the wheel."Alpha Ryker instructed me to take you home, Miss," he replied, starting the engine. "He said he would follow later."My heart sank. Of course he would stay. Of course he

Chapter: The strange manSerena's POVThe man eyes gleamed with interest as he leaned closer, his cologne overwhelming in the confined space near the bar. "So, what brings you to our little gathering? I don't think I've seen you at one of these before."I forced a polite smile, taking a small step back to create some distance between us. "I'm here with someone," I said diplomatically, hoping to discourage whatever he was building up to."Ah, but that someone seems to have abandoned you," he said, his gaze roaming over me in a way that made my skin crawl. "A beautiful woman like you shouldn't be left alone at a party like this."His hand moved to rest on the bar beside me, effectively trapping me between his body and the marble surface. I could smell alcohol on his breath now, strong and sharp, and realized he'd had far more to drink than I'd initially thought."I'm perfectly fine on my own, thank you," I said firmly, trying to sidestep around him.But he moved with me, blocking my path. "You know," he said, h

Chapter: The meeting. Serena's POVI stared at Ryker's retreating figure, fury boiling in my veins. How dare he just walk away like that? How dare he make decisions about my life without even giving me a chance to respond? My hands clenched into fists at my sides as I watched him disappear down the hallway, every muscle in my body screaming with the need to chase after him and tell him exactly what I thought of his high-handed attitude.But before I could move, Alec's voice cut through my rage."Serena, I'm sorry."I turned to look at him, my anger momentarily forgotten in the face of his obvious distress. "What?""About the other day," he said, his voice quiet and strained. "I know you’re still awkward about it. That’s why you don’t want to talk to me."The genuine remorse in his voice made my chest tighten with guilt. Here I was, furious at Ryker for his presumption and control, while Alec was apologizing for something that had been entirely my fault. I had been the one manipulating him, using his feelin
