A Contract With The Cursed Alpha Chapter 10: When Protection Started feeling Like Control
ANNA POVBelle shifted slightly beside me her fingers still loosely intertwined with mine. I could feel the uncertainty in her touch like she was trying to figure out where she stood in this conversation. My chest tightened because even that small movement felt like something I needed to protect.Lucian finally spoke again his voice steady and low. He had this authority that made every sentence sound like he had thought it through before saying it."Do you really want Belle involved in this?" he asked, looking at me now. His gaze was not harsh. It was unsettling like he was measuring my response.I felt my jaw tighten slightly. The way he asked the question made it sound less like he was concerned and more like he was evaluating Belle's place here. It was like he was deciding whether or not to approve of her beingI hesitated for a second. My emotions were all over the place. I couldn't sort them out properly. Then I forced my voice to be steadier than I felt."Whatever pleases you,"
A Contract With The Cursed Alpha Chapter 9: The Story That Doesn't Add Up
ANNA POVShe blinked at me startled by my reaction. Then she slowly let out her breath. "Someone from the wedding center called me," she said, carefully watching my reaction. "They said there was chaos. They said you disappeared right before everything went wrong."My stomach felt tight at that word. Disappeared. Belle kept going her voice getting steadier as she remembered."I rushed to the venue immediately," she said, her hands tightening a bit as she spoke. "I couldn't find you or Steven anywhere. It was like you both just... Vanished."Her words made my chest feel heavier. They confirmed what I already feared. I hadn't just left that church. Something had pulled me out of it. I swallowed hard making myself listen even though my instincts were screaming at me to stop."And then one of the church members recognized me," Belle added, her expression tightening again. "They told me your friend had been taken away by a man."A cold feeling ran through me at that sentence. I felt my b
A Contract With The Cursed Alpha Chapter 8: Nothing Here Is Accidental
ANNA POVThe door closed behind Lucian with a sound that felt really loud to me and for a few seconds, I just stood there staring at it trying to tell myself that I was still in charge.The room he had brought me into was perfect too quiet it was like something out of a movie or something and that was exactly what was bothering me the most as I slowly let out my breath and tried to calm down.I do not belong here I thought to myself even though my feet had not moved yet and that thought alone was enough to make my chest feel tight again.But I needed something that I knew, something that was mine the phone box was still sitting on the table untouched as if waiting for me to accept that I had already gotten into something I did not fully understand.I opened it quickly my fingers were a little shaky as I pulled out the device and turned it on watching the screen light up in a way that felt familiar."This is ridiculous," I said to myself because if I did not say something the silence i
A Contract With The Cursed Alpha Chapter 7: The Rhythm of Control
LUCIAN POVShe looked surprised by what I said. I could see the confusion on her face.I took a step forward to get her attention back on me. I didn't want her to start wondering much."You should come inside," I said calmly. It wasn't really a question.She looked at me at Luke and then at the big building, behind us. I could see her thinking about what to do.It was clear she didn't trust me. Not yet, anyway.She wasn't leaving either. That was a sign."Okay " she said finally. It sounded like she was really committing to something.The doors opened before we reached them and the change from the world to the inside of the Sterling Mansion was immediate. It was not loud. It was very noticeable.She slowed down the moment she stepped inside and even though she tried to hide it I saw the way her eyes looked up taking in the ceilings and the clean lines. The Sterling Mansion was quiet and elegant. It did not need to shout for attention.The Sterling Mansion was not made to impress peop
A Contract With The Cursed Alpha Chapter 6: Welcome to My Territory
LUCIAN POVThen unexpectedly I laughed. It wasn't a laugh or a mocking one, but a quiet amusement that broke the tension just enough to shift the air between us. The sound seemed to catch her off guard more than my name had."What is it that surprises you most?" My tone was calm. Had a curious edge because I was genuinely interested in how she handled power. Not everyone reacted the way.She blinked once twice as though getting her bearings and unexpectedly. She laughed too.Her laugh wasn't polished or controlled like mine. It was uneven, breathy, and almost disbelieving as though the situation had gone far beyond logic that laughter was the only thing left.That... I hadn't expected.I studied her closely. People usually reacted to me with caution, fear, or calculated politeness.. Not this strange fragile humor that felt like both defense and release at once."Last I remember," she said, shaking her head slightly while a faint, incredulous smile touched her lips, "I was warned not t
A Contract With The Cursed Alpha Chapter 5: Step Into My World
LUCIAN POVI kept my arm out steady and deliberate. I had waited a long time for this moment, and I was not going to back down.She looked at my hand like it was something that could hurt her. Tears were stuck to her eyelashes. I saw the struggle in her eyes."Who are you?" she asked finally. Her voice was shaking while trying to sound strong. I did not answer. Her eyebrows came together. The silence between us was uncomfortable. Her suspicion turned into something dangerous."Why are you doing this?" she asked loudly. Her pain was turning into anger. "Have you been following me? Are you a friend of Stevens?"She pushed herself up a little. Her hands were on the floor. She was trying to hold on to reality. Then her voice broke."Are you here to laugh at me too?" she asked. This time it was not anger. It was sad. It was real.For a moment something inside me woke up. If Steven was here I would have hurt him. He was not here. I reached into my coat. Pulled out a handkerchief. I took a
