The Cursed Alpha
BLURB
One curse. One survivor. One bond strong enough to break bloodlines.
When Elysia D’Argent’s coven was slaughtered by the werewolf Alpha’s army, she swore vengeance. Years later, she infiltrates the palace of the cursed Alpha, Alaric Varyn, to finish what her mother’s dying curse began. But when her dagger hovers above his heart, the unthinkable happens—he wakes, captures her, and she does not die.
For a man whose touch kills any woman who comes near, her survival is both miracle and temptation. Alaric knows she is hiding something, yet her immunity to his curse may be the key to breaking it. He offers her a choice—exposure and death, or life as his mistress under his command. Bound by danger and desire, they enter an arrangement that blurs the lines between hate and hunger.
But as secrets unravel and feelings take root, Elysia discovers a truth far crueler than any curse: the Alpha she meant to destroy is not the monster his father was. And when enemies rise again to finish the war their ancestors began, love becomes their only rebellion.
In a realm where magic and blood are bound, their passion will either end the curse or consume them both

Chapter: The returnThe gates of Varyn Keep groaned under the weight of their iron hinges as the riders approached, the screeching sound echoing across the courtyard. Alaric barely slowed his horse, letting the animal’s hooves pound against the cobblestones. Each step brought him closer to home, yet a strange tension had settled over him during the long ride back from Goldtower. Diplomacy, he reminded himself, was a slow, careful game delicate words, fragile agreements, promises that could shatter in a heartbeat.And yet, even as the treaty had been signed, the ink barely dry on the parchment, he had felt unease curling inside him like smoke. A whispering sense that something had shifted in his absence, though he could not pinpoint what. A shadow that he could not yet name.Corvin rode beside him, stretching his shoulders and shaking his head with exaggerated relief. “Finally,” he groaned. “Back to civilization. I feared Goldtower might suffocate me with all that etiquette and endless bowing.”Edric’s li

Chapter: EnduranceThe chamber was a masterclass in atmospheric cruelty. It was a place of high ceilings and cold stone, designed to swallow sound, yet it smelled intimately of human frailty: the bitter tang of old smoke, the earthy scent of cured leather, and the metallic, cloying salt of blood.Elysia’s head hung forward, a dead weight supported only by the agonizing tension in her shoulders. Her breath came in shallow, uneven gasps that whistled through teeth gritted so hard they felt ready to shatter. Above her, the iron manacles bit into her wrists, her arms having long since passed the stage of numbness into a throbbing, rhythmic fire.Every muscle in her body was a frayed wire, vibrating with a fatigue so deep it felt structural. But it was her back that dominated her consciousness. It burned with a searing, relentless heat a map of agony drawn in jagged lines. The air in the room, though cool, felt like lye against the raw ribbons of her skin.She had stopped counting the lashes at twelve. Or pe

Chapter: The queens judgmentAlaric entered the grand hall of Goldtower, letting his eyes sweep over the polished floors, the banners of gold and white, the rows of armored soldiers standing stiff as statues. The Alpha’s presence demanded respect even before words were spoken, and Alaric allowed himself a small, controlled inhale. He would need it.Corvin flanked him to the left, Edric to the right, and already the game of subtle mischief had begun.“Notice how stiff these guards are,” Corvin whispered, tilting his head. “I would faint under such tension. Or perhaps I’d faint from boredom.”Edric muttered, “Do not distract me, Corvin. One misstep and the entire room becomes a battlefield.”Corvin grinned, leaning closer to Alaric. “One misstep? I am dangerously skilled in missteps. Watch and learn, dear Alpha.”Alaric pinched the bridge of his nose, trying to focus. He had traveled here to negotiate peace, not to babysit two grown men who clearly considered the mission a theatrical performance.He spotted Gwaine

Chapter: Arrival at Gold towerThe gates of Goldtower rose before them like carved stone sentinels, the sun catching the white and gold spires in a way that made Alaric squint against the glare. Even from a distance, the city exuded order and power, polished streets and banners flapping with authority. The air smelled faintly of salt from the nearby river, mixed with the distant tang of smoke and roasting meat.Corvin nudged Alaric with an elbow. “Ah, Goldtower. Look at it! So clean. So… properly civilized. I feel oppressed already. Where is the chaos? Where is the charming disorder that makes life exciting?”Edric’s voice was deadpan as ever. “It is a city preparing for visitors. Civility is part of diplomacy. Remember what you taught us?”Corvin raised one perfect brow. “Ah yes, lessons from the brooding Alpha. Smile politely, don’t crush heads, and for heaven’s sake, try not to look terrifying while doing it.”Alaric snorted, unable to resist the small smile that tugged at his lips. “Do either of you intend to b

Chapter: The journey to gold towerAlaric adjusted the strap of his travel pack and let out a sigh that carried the weight of responsibility, exhaustion, and a hint of irritation. Beside him, Corvin smirked, lounging casually on his horse, one boot dangling over the side like he owned the world — which, in some ways, he did, at least in charm.“Really,” Alaric began, glancing at Corvin, “must you make that face every time I frown?”Corvin arched a perfectly groomed brow. “I make faces only for the deserving, Alaric. And you, my friend, are exceptionally dour today. Truly, a sight for sore eyes.”Edric snorted behind them, hands folded over the pommel of his saddle. “Dour, yes. But he’s also grouchy. You’ve been pacing for ten minutes straight, and it’s not even sunrise.”Alaric glared at both of them. “I am preparing my mind for diplomacy. A serious meeting. A meeting of Alphas.”Corvin’s grin widened. “Ah, yes. Seriousness. Because nothing says ‘diplomacy’ like three men on horseback arguing over whose horse farts the
