Mated To The Cursed Alpha
Mira Whitlock gave everything to her mate—her heart, her loyalty, her future. He repaid her by crawling into bed with her own sister. When she begged him to break their sacred bond, he smiled and denied her. Trapped in a loveless nightmare, Mira did the only thing left to do: she ran.
Her escape led her straight into the path of Rowan Cade, the ruthless Alpha King—wild, unchained, and deep in the throes of a rut that could kill him. Their collision was explosive. Her dormant wolf, silent for years, roared to life. And in one fevered, desperate night, a new mate bond blazed between them—hotter and more dangerous than anything she'd ever known.
But morning brought no mercy.
Rowan rejected her coldly, like yesterday's trash. And before Mira could even breathe, her husband Finn dragged her back and locked her away. His price for her freedom? She must let him claim her unborn child as his own.
Now Mira is trapped between two alphas: the cruel husband who owns her body and the brutal king who owns her soul. One wants to use her. The other refuses to want her at all.
But Mira is done begging. Done running. Done surrendering.
She will fight for her freedom. She will protect her child. And if the Alphas want war—she'll give them one neither of them survives.

Chapter: Local pack leadersTobias's povCato formally withdrew his territorial claim the following morning. He did not even show his face in the main hall to do it. Instead, he sent a written notice straight to the council desk early in the morning before the sun was completely up. Along with the withdrawal, he requested safe passage back to the northeast territory. He offered a trade for his freedom. He promised a full account of Brennan's entire operation and a complete list of everyone who was involved in it.Rowan granted it without a second thought.I walked into Rowan's office later that morning and threw the signed safe passage papers onto his desk. "I thought that was pretty generous of you," I said, crossing my arms. "The guy was ready to steal half our land yesterday."Rowan did not look up from his desk right away. "It was practical, Tobias," he said, finally raising his eyes. "Cato's information is worth way more to us right now than his punishment would be. Locking him up just makes him a martyr f

Chapter: The next agendaMira's povI was right in the middle of a sentence when the heavy oak doors of the chamber swung open. The sudden creak of the hinges cut me off completely. I froze, my mouth still half open, as Rowan walked into the room. Tobias followed a step behind him, carrying a heavy leather case by the handle.The room went immediately tense. You could actually feel the drop in temperature. All the chatter from the delegates died instantly. I stopped talking and just watched them. Rowan looked around the room, his face totally blank, completely unbothered by the fact that he had just ruined my flow."I am sorry for the interruption," Rowan said. His voice was calm, but it filled the entire room. "I have information relevant to this session that absolutely could not wait."He glanced over at me. I didn't want to make a big scene, so I just gave him the smallest nod. I took a slow step back from the center of the floor, letting him take the spotlight.Rowan walked over to the long table, took th

Chapter: UnderstoodRowan's povI was standing outside the council chamber when Tobias's message came through on my phone. I pulled the device out of my pocket, read the text quickly, and felt a cold surge of pure anger rush through my veins. The text was short but told me everything I needed to know. I did not waste a single second standing around or overthinking the situation. I turned on my heel and walked straight to Brennan's quarters myself, my boots hitting the stone floor with heavy, angry thuds.When I reached the room, the door was already open. My two warriors were inside, standing by the bed. They had already found exactly what Tobias had suspected was there. It was a heavy locked case hidden deep under the bed, and one of the warriors had a small metal tool in his hand. He had opened the lock in under a minute flat."We got it open, Alpha," the warrior said, stepping aside so I could look down at it.I leaned down and looked inside the open case. My jaw clamped shut tightly. Inside were thi

Chapter: This isn’t overTobias's povI was positioned at the back of the chamber, leaning against the cold stone wall and watching the room while Mira ran the session. My arms were crossed over my chest, and my eyes kept scanning the faces of the Alphas and delegates. Mira was good. She was honestly better than good. She moved through the agenda items with the kind of confidence that did not announce itself. She did not need to shout or flash her alpha aura to get compliance. The representatives who had come into this room totally skeptical were visibly recalibrating their opinions of her with every passing minute.I looked at the way she held herself at the center of that massive table. She looked completely in control, and I felt a wave of pride hit me, though I kept my face entirely blank. The room was buzzing with a nervous kind of energy, but she kept everyone on track.Then, the moment came for the main event."We will now hear the formal territorial claim from Nightshadow's interim leadership," Mira

Chapter: Northern sectorMira's povThe council chamber was full by the time I arrived. I took a slow breath before walking in, keeping my shoulders back and my face completely blank. Eleven pack representatives, three independent settlement delegates, and two neutral territory observers were already there.They were crammed around the massive oak table, whispering among themselves. At the far end of the table sat Cato. He looked exactly like what he was, a man who believed he had already won. He was leaning back in his chair, tapping a pen against his knuckles, looking completely relaxed.I walked straight to the center seat. I did not smile, and I did not greet anyone individually. I just sat down, pulled my folders toward me, and opened the session without preamble."The constitutional council exists because power without accountability is just another word for tyranny," I said, my voice echoing clearly against the stone walls. "Every wolf in this room, regardless of pack size or territorial standing, dese

Chapter: The sessionMIRA'S POV"The constitutional council exists because power without accountability is just another word for tyranny," I said. "Everyone in this room, regardless of pack size or territorial standing, deserves a seat in the rules that govern their lives."The room was quiet and I let it stay quiet for a moment because the quiet was doing the work, letting those words settle into the space they occupied."We will hear all claims today," I continued. "Including the formal territorial challenge from Nightshadow's leadership."I looked directly at Cato when I said it and he met my gaze without flinching, which told me he understood what I was doing, which was giving him the weight of a fair hearing rather than the performance of one. He held the look for exactly as long as was appropriate and then he nodded once, and I held it for exactly one second longer than comfortable and then I moved on because that's what you do when you've established something between two people that doesn't need
