Chapter: Chapter 4 Reily Matteo’s arm was slung around Reilly's waist, his laughter echoing through the hallway as they entered the house like a couple of royalty. I stood frozen in the kitchen, the air thick with tension and hurt. They looked so damn happy, and it was like a dagger to my heart.“Look who’s back!” Matteo announced, his voice dripping with pride. “Reily’s here to hang out!”Reily flashed me a condescending smile, her eyes sparkling with mischief. “Oh, Gianna! You’re still here? I figured you’d be long gone by now. I mean, who could tolerate being treated like a maid?”A part of me wanted to scream, but I swallowed hard, pushing down the pain that threatened to spill over. “What do you want, Reily?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.“Just wanted to see how the perfect wife is doing,” she replied, her tone laced with mockery. “Have you been cooking up some magic for Matteo? Or is that just wishful thinking?”I felt the heat rise in my cheeks, anger bubbling beneath the surface. “I’m doin

Chapter: Chapter 3 Twisted Loyalties I barely slept that night time. Luca’s sudden visit rattled me in methods I wasn’t prepared to address. The tequila had dulled my nerves, but it couldn’t silence the nagging thoughts swirling around in my head.Why did Matteo send Luca of absolutely everyone to test on me?Matteo slightly spoke approximately to his brother unless it came to whinge approximately how reckless and irresponsible he was. I’d always suspected there has been more to their strained courting, but Matteo by no means gave me info. Now, Luca suddenly at my doorstep, all worried and easy-talking. Something didn’t add up.By the time morning rolled around, I felt like a zombie, eyes puffy from crying and zero sleep. I stared at myself within the mirror, slightly recognizing the girl looking back at me. Where had I long gone? The Gianna who used to have goals, confidence… a lifestyle that didn’t revolve around Matteo?I didn’t know that female anymore."Okay, Gia. Enough of this shit," I muttered to my mirrored imag

Chapter: Chapter 2 Divorce I won't do not forget how long I stood there after Matteo left. Minutes? Hours? Hell, it could’ve been days for all I cared. The silence inside the house was suffocating, urgent down on me like a weighted blanket I couldn’t get out from underneath. I used to assume silence changed into peacefulness. Now, it simply felt like a reminder of the whole thing I’d lost.My phone buzzed on the desk, snapping me out of my pity party. I wiped my face, selecting it up without even looking on the screen. "Hello?""Gianna, wherein the hell are you?" It became Sasha, my high-quality buddy. Her voice turned into sharp, indignant. "You have been purported to meet me at the gym like, two hours ago. Are you severely bailing on me again?"I’d definitely forgotten about that. Honestly, the last issue I wanted to do proper now become sweat it out in a health club, surrounded by means of peppy health freaks. I let loose an extended sigh, pressing my hand to my brow. "I can’t nowadays, Sasha.""Wait, are yo

Chapter: Chapter 1 The moment of Realization I stood there, frozen like an idiot, looking at the rattling papers scattered on the table in front of me. Divorce papers. I don’t realize why it surprised me. I suggest, it’s not like I didn’t see it coming. Three years of marriage to Matteo, and it’s continually been like taking walks on glass sharp, painful, and so damn fragile. But now, here I become, stuck inside the place I used to call “our domestic,” though it in no way in reality felt like mine. The afternoon sunlight pouring in from the huge home windows felt like a sort of sick comic story. Warm, stunning… and completely out of sync with the chaos in my head. My arms grazed over the papers, trembling as they touched Matteo’s signature. Bold, very last. He didn’t hesitate. Not one bit. Meanwhile, I stood there, falling aside.I could feel a tear sliding down my cheek, splattering onto the page, blurring his ideal ink. God, it’s reputable now. The quit of our 3-12 months joke of a wedding, and all I had to do changed into a

Break My Curse: Heart of The Lycan King
Olivia Archer always believed that her life would follow the path of power and respect. But instead, she’s been abandoned by her father, tormented by her cruel stepmother and stepbrother, and falsely accused of betrayal. Forced into a life of misery, Olivia knows one thing: she must escape or lose herself entirely. But fate has other plans when she crosses paths with Dalton Skalbeck, the feared and enigmatic Lycan King.
He isn’t the savior she imagined, nor is he the prince she dreamed of. He’s a man cursed by the Moon Goddess, bound to a life of loneliness and duty. And yet, something about him draws her in—a force beyond their control, a connection neither can ignore. As danger looms closer, Olivia must confront the truth: the kingdom she thought she knew is crumbling, and she may be the key to saving it or destroying everything she holds dear.
For Dalton Skalbeck, the weight of his crown is nothing compared to the weight of his curse. The Lycan King, bound by a prophecy and cursed by Moon Goddess to never know love, has spent years living in isolation, unable to connect with anyone. His power has always been his only ally—until Olivia Archer crosses his path.
From the moment their eyes meet, the curse that has shackled him for centuries begins to crack. The pull between them is undeniable, but nothing in his life has ever come easy, and their bond is no exception. Lies, secrets, and enemies from within threaten to tear them apart. As the shadows of war and betrayal close in, Dalton must decide: will he risk everything to embrace the love he never believed he could have, or will he push Olivia away to protect her from the dark forces hunting them both?

Chapter: Chapter 123The room fell silent, all eyes shifting between me, Cynthia, and Aleksander. His expression revealed nothing as he considered my judgment."Mercy," he finally remarked, "can be mistaken for weakness.""True mercy requires greater strength than vengeance," I countered calmly. "To heal rather than destroy, to rebuild rather than discard—these are not the actions of the weak."Something flickered across his face—not quite approval, but perhaps reassessment. "The judgment seems... appropriate," he conceded. "Though I would add one condition."I raised an eyebrow, waiting."During her year of service, she will spend one month in my territory, assisting our healers with the spring birthing season. She will see firsthand how packs can differ yet still respect each other's ways."The proposal surprised me—it was both a punishment and an opportunity, a chance for Cynthia to expand her understanding beyond the narrow confines of her prejudice.I glanced at Dalton, who gave a subtle nod, then at

Chapter: Chapter 122The formal welcoming ceremony for Aleksander's pack was a masterpiece of carefully orchestrated pageantry. Every detail had been planned to demonstrate our pack's strength while honoring our guests—a delicate balance struck between power and hospitality.I stood at Dalton's side before the great stone archway that marked the entrance to our central compound, dressed in ceremonial garments that blended traditional pack symbols with subtle elements that marked me as Dalton's mate. As promised, I wore no magical protection, though Dalton had insisted on having Eliza work subtle strengthening spells into the embroidery of my jacket—"Not protection," he'd argued when I'd raised an eyebrow, "just enhancement of your natural abilities. Even Aleksander can't object to that."The distant sound of drums announced the Winter's Edge pack's approach. They moved with military precision, Aleksander at their head, his tall figure imposing even at a distance. Behind him marched his highest-ranking pac

Chapter: Chapter 121Victor's expression was stone. "Enough, Cynthia.""The matter will be settled according to both our packs' laws," I interjected, unwilling to see her executed despite everything she'd done. "As the wronged party, I'll have a say in her fate."Aleksander's eyebrows rose again. "Mercy from an omega. How... unexpected.""Justice," I corrected. "Not revenge. That's the difference between leadership and tyranny."Something flickered in his cold eyes—not warmth, exactly, but perhaps a reluctant reassessment. "We'll see if you maintain that philosophy after spending more time as an Alpha's mate." He gestured to his pack members. "We return to our camp. The formal meeting will proceed tomorrow as originally planned."As they turned to leave, Cynthia was firmly escorted between two of Aleksander's guards—clearly now his prisoner rather than his informant. She twisted to look back at me, her expression a complex mixture of hatred and fear."This isn't over," she hissed.I met her gaze steadily.

Chapter: Chapter 120My stomach dropped at the sight of her. She looked different—her usual polished appearance replaced by something harder, her blonde hair pulled back severely, her posture rigid with purpose. Her eyes found mine immediately, a small, triumphant smile playing at the corners of her mouth.The two groups halted a respectful distance apart, the morning breeze carrying scents between us—the unfamiliar, pine-and-snow smell of the Winter's Edge pack mixing with our own forest-and-earth scent.Protocol dictated that as the junior Alpha's representative, I should speak first, acknowledging Aleksander's status and thanking him for agreeing to this meeting. But before I could open my mouth, Cynthia stepped forward."This is the one I told you about," she said to Aleksander, her voice carrying clearly across the clearing. "The omega who ensorcelled our Alpha."A ripple of tension went through my escort. Victor's hand twitched at his side, his expression unreadable as he watched his daughter.Aleks

Chapter: Chapter 119As the room cleared, Dalton maintained his grip on me, silently indicating I should remain. Once we were alone, his carefully controlled expression cracked, revealing the turmoil beneath."You can't seriously be considering this," he said, his voice low and intense."It's our best option," I replied, trying to sound more confident than I felt. "If I face him directly, on my terms—""He could kill you," Dalton cut in harshly. "Do you understand that? This isn't just pack politics, Oliver. Aleksander considers omega males an abomination. In his territory, they don't survive presentation."I swallowed hard. "I know. But that's exactly why this might work. He's expecting me to be weak, to hide. If I show strength—""He might respect it," Dalton acknowledged reluctantly. "Or he might see it as a challenge to his worldview that must be eliminated."I stepped closer, placing my free hand against his chest, feeling the strong, rapid beat of his heart. "Then we make sure elimination isn't an o

Chapter: Chapter 118"Aleksander's pack approaches," Dalton began once we were seated, Dalton at the head of the table and me to his right. "And Cynthia has fled, likely to join them with false accusations against my mate.""False according to whom?" Victor challenged, his voice tight with barely controlled rage. "My daughter has served this pack loyally for years. She was raised to be your mate, to stand at your side as Alpha female. Instead, you publicly humiliate her for—" His eyes flicked dismissively toward me, "—this."A low growl rumbled from Dalton's chest, a sound that made the hairs on my neck stand on end. "Choose your next words carefully, Victor."The older wolf didn't back down. "The pack has a right to question your judgment in this matter. Aleksander certainly will.""My judgment is sound," Dalton replied, his voice dangerously even. "And your daughter attempted to kill my claimed mate. She's lucky exile is all she faces."Murmurs spread around the table at this. Exile was one of the harsh
