Dahlia’s P.O.V

Chaos unfolded so quickly I didn’t even have time to catch my breath. One moment Cade’s claws were buried deep in my neck, hot blood spilling down my collarbone, the next his body was torn from me and hurled across the hall like he weighed nothing. The roar that followed shook the air, rattling every surface, silencing every whisper. I could feel the fear thick in the room, trembling off the guests who stared wide-eyed, too afraid to breathe.

My hand instinctively went to my throat, warm blood seeping through my fingers, but before I could think further, Killian was suddenly at my side. His arms were around me, strong and steady, pulling me against him as his eyes scanned my wound with that fierce intensity of his.

“Dahlia,” he muttered, his voice strained as he tilted my chin to see the mark, “he cut too deep, damn it.”

I shook my head quickly, my voice hoarse but steady.

    Dahlia’s P.O.VI held on to him tighter, letting my cheek rest against his chest, listening to the steady beat of his heart as if it could calm the storm inside me. But even though I found comfort in his arms, the unease didn’t fully leave me, and after a while, I tilted my head up to look at him.“Killian,” I said softly, my voice carrying a hint of hesitation, “what did your mother tell you after I left earlier? Did she… did she say that she wants me gone?”He blinked at me, his brows furrowing in confusion as if I had just said the most absurd thing.“What? Dahlia—why would you even think that?” His tone was incredulous, almost wounded that I could believe it.I gave a faint, uneasy smile, though my fingers tightened slightly on the fabric of his coat.“Because by now, Lady Agatha must know the nature of… of whatever this is between us. She

  • A Contract with the Cursed Alpha   Chapter 61: Killian’s Interruption

    Dahlia’s P.O.VKorina’s lips parted like she wanted to argue, but she stayed silent for a moment, just watching me.I shook my head. “I don’t want to believe Cade. But what if…” My voice trailed, and I clenched my fists in frustration. “What if there’s something there? What if they never told me because they thought it would ruin me? Wouldn’t you want to know, Korina? Wouldn’t you?”She opened her mouth, then closed it again, tilting her head slightly before muttering, “Maybe. But I’d bury it once I knew. I wouldn’t let it own me the way it’s owning you right now.”I wanted to respond, but before I could even form another word, a sharp knock sounded at my door. My head jerked toward it, the sound cutting through my thoughts like a blade, making me forget everything I’d been about to say.Korina’s eyes flicked to the door, then back at me. “Well? Should we answer it?” she asked.I swallowed hard, pushing myself up from my seat. “Yeah,” I muttered, though my chest was tight. Whoever it

  • A Contract with the Cursed Alpha   Chapter 60: Need to Find the Truth

    Dahlia’s P.O.VI stared at the ceiling of my room, my breathing even as I rested next to Korina, but my mind was racing in circles I couldn’t seem to break free from. The realization kept eating at me—the truth that all this time, when I had been married to Cade, he had not only had authority over me as his wife but also complete authority over my own pack and my people. Could it be that it was during this time that he had discovered something that I had never known?It made no sense, and yet, the way he carried himself, the confidence in his words and actions, it made me question everything. There had to be more to this than just empty threats. Otherwise…Cade wouldn’t suddenly make me question my entire existence without solid proof…“Could it be that Cade somehow already knew… that he heard whispers or some truth that I didn’t? Is that why he’s this sure of himself?” I muttered under my breath.Korina shifted closer to me, her voice cutting through my thoughts. “Dahlia… you’ve been

    Dahlia’s P.O.VAs I rushed out of the room, my chest still burning from the storm of emotions and my heart pounding so loud it drowned out every other sound. For a moment I was so blinded that I almost collided head-on with Korina. I barely had time to steady myself before her arms were around me so tightly that for a second I forgot how to breathe. “I’m so sorry, Dahlia, I’m so sorry for her.” Her voice cracked with desperation as she whispered into my shoulder. “She shouldn’t have said those things to you, she had no right.”I blinked at her in confusion, but then it clicked—she had been right outside the door, listening to every word. Normally, that would have upset me, but right then I didn’t care. All I wanted was space to breathe, to get away from the venom of that room.“I’m okay,” I muttered, my throat scratchy and my voice barely holding together. “I just… I just need to rest, Korina. That’s all I want right now.”But Korina pulled back just enough to look at me, her eyes sc

  • A Contract with the Cursed Alpha   Chapter 58: Shadows in Every Corner

    Killian’s P.O.VI pulled my hands away slowly, dragging in a breath, the frustration gnawing at me. “Why does it always come back to that with you? Why can’t it just be simple? Why can’t it just be about me caring for her—about me choosing her?”She looked at me with an almost sad smile, shaking her head. “Because nothing in this family is ever simple, Killian. You know that better than anyone. I’m not saying you can’t care for her, I’m not saying you shouldn’t choose her. But when something like this… when something this strange ties you to someone, you have to be cautious. You have to ask yourself why.”“And what if I don’t want to ask?” I shot back, my voice rising without my conscious thought. “What if I don’t care why? What if I just… want to live for once without dissecting every single damn thing?”Her eyes softened, and she sighed again. “Then I’ll try to support you, as best as I can. I told you—I’ll try. But don’t hate me for worrying. Don’t hate me for being afraid.”I look

  • A Contract with the Cursed Alpha   Chapter 57: Comparing me to Him

    Killian’s P.O.VI stared at her in disbelief, my mouth parting but no words coming out at first because I couldn’t even wrap my head around the fact that my own mother had just implied such a thing about me.I always knew the court was vicious, that the rumors circulating the circles were something I wouldn’t even dream of listening to. But I had never imagined that my mother…my sensible, educated and powerful mother, who had once singlehandedly ruled over the kingdom when my father’s death lead to chaos…would start to believe in such things…Finally, I managed to let out a sharp breath and said.“Mother… how could you even think that of me? All these years, I have been celibate, I have not even looked at anyone in that manner, not once. I have lived with discipline, with restraint, because I knew that was the way you raised me. So if you’re doubting me now, then you’re doubting your own upbringing of me.”Her eyes widened slightly, and she shook her head quickly. “Killian, no—no, tha
