Eira’s Pov

Heat rushed to my face, but I forced myself to stand tall. “Not as your wife in the sentimental sense,” I clarified. “A political alliance. Kieran won’t let me go easily, but if I become yours, he’ll have no choice but to step back. Marrying me means taking something from him. Something he considers his.”

Magnus was silent, his gaze flickering with something unreadable.

Then he leaned in, his voice dropping to a dangerous whisper. “Tell me, Eira… do you think you’re worth enough to make me risk my interests? Why should I dirty my hands to spite Kieran?”

I searched for an answer, my mind racing, trying to come up with the best reason. Although I had said I was going to offer myself to him, that wasn’t a good enough reason for him to help me.

“Just like I thought.” He muttered. “You didn’t get a reason from Kieran. He made the mistake of not telling you something that would make me agree to fake helping you. I’m not someone you can take advantage of, and I will not believe th

  • A Deal With The Cursed Alpha    32. Curse Event III

    Eira’s POV“Did you get the maids to leave?”That was the first thing I heard as I reached the room where Jake and the other man had gone.I froze, pressing myself flat against the wall. The voices were muffled but close, just beyond the heavy door at the end of the corridor.“Yes,” came the reply—low, firm. “They’re gone. No one will wander in.”My stomach twisted. I crept closer, careful not to let the floor creak under my bare feet.“Good. Then let’s take care of the Alpha before he goes wild.”My breath hitched. Wild? The word struck me like a bucket of ice water. My fists clenched as I strained to hear more.Another voice joined in, hesitant but urgent. “And Jake… what about the Luna? Did you send her away?”A pause stretched long enough to make my pulse hammer against my ribs.Finally Jake’s voice answered, calm but dismissive. “It doesn’t matter. She’ll be inside his room. She’ll be safer there than anywhere else.”My hands trembled against the doorframe. ‘Safer inside his room

  • A Deal With The Cursed Alpha    31. Curse Event II

    Eira’s POVUpon hearing those words, I nodded. With a bright smile on her face, she began skipping down the hallway, a dreamy expression on her lips. I couldn’t help but wonder why she was more excited about my first night than I was.Just as I thought about it, she glanced back at me, her brows arched as she tilted her head slightly, like she was silently asking, “Well? Aren’t you going in?”Taking that as a cue, I sighed, turned toward the door, and pushed it open.It opened far too smoothly, surprising me. For something that tall and wide, I expected resistance. Why did he even have such a massive door? Was he hiding a dragon in there or something?I stepped inside.The room was quiet. Empty.A dim golden glow from the chandelier overhead gave the space a soft warmth, casting shadows across the stone-textured walls. Everything was clean and surprisingly neat for someone like Magnus. I thought he’d go for harsher and darker colors, but instead, the palette was quite bright and neutr

  • A Deal With The Cursed Alpha    30. Curse Event I

    Eira’s POVWas something wrong? I wondered.There were many things wrong.Not only was she looking forward to the wedding night, but she was also expecting it. And now, I was sure it wasn’t just her. Tons of people were probably interested too.Given his reputation for having no interest in women, they must’ve been surprised when he introduced me. Now, they were likely waiting for the wedding night to confirm that our marriage wasn’t forced.Still, I couldn’t help but recall how he had kissed me earlier—without hesitation. That meant he wasn’t repulsed by women. Maybe he had just never been ready to get involved. Or maybe... he’d been waiting for his mate.Now, I feel bad. I had taken the spot of the innocent woman, even before she had the chance to exist. But that didn’t mean Magnus was cheating on her. He hadn’t found her yet.“Are you okay, Luna?” Riley’s concerned voice snapped me back to reality. “Is everything alright? Tell me if there’s anything you’re worried about.”My lips p

  • A Deal With The Cursed Alpha    29. First Night?

    Eira’s POVTurning my head to look at him, I tried to think of a reasonable explanation for why he’d done such a thing. A contract marriage should have stayed simple, something signed in silence, sealed on paper. Not with vows, not with an oath, and certainly not with an actual ceremony.Or perhaps... he was planning to find a way around the oath.After all, what man in his right mind would bind himself with a vow he didn’t intend to keep? But then the memory slammed into me.Keiran had said those same words too. “I will.”Magnus’s voice rang out, snapping me from my spiraling thoughts.“I will,” he said—firm and unwavering.My heart skipped.So he hadn’t dodged it. He’d accepted it—knowing full well what the oath meant in a werewolf union. The words didn’t just symbolize intent; they bound the soul. And for an Alpha like him, those words carried the weight of blood and legacy. There was no taking them back.I didn’t understand. Why would he agree to something so permanent for a contr

  • A Deal With The Cursed Alpha    28. Meet Your Luna II

    Eira’s POVAs soon as the door opened, I came in contact with the sight of dozens—no, hundreds—of wolves. Each of them stood in human form, dressed in formal wear that shimmered under the soft golden chandeliers.Every head turned. Every conversation halted as they looked at us.And then, as though rehearsed, they bowed their heads. All of them.I stood frozen, my breath catching in my throat. The room itself looked like something out of a dream. Crystal chandeliers dangled from the ceiling, casting warm light over velvet-draped tables.Golden flower arrangements glowed in every corner, and a long table lined with silver trays and polished cutlery stood near the back wall. Soft music drifted through the air, carried by a string quartet nestled on a small raised platform.The room looked like it had been prepared for royalty, and yet it was me walking in with Magnus. Why did it feel like all their gazes were fixed on me? It made me a little nervous having that much attention.“This way

  • A Deal With The Cursed Alpha    27. Meet Your Luna

    Eira’s POVAs soon as the sound of knocking filled the room, I turned to the door. This was the first time anyone had knocked since I arrived—and the first time I would be seeing someone who wasn’t Magnus’s Beta or Riley.“I’ll get the door,” Riley said, walking toward it.I watched her go, curious. The door opened, and I spotted a woman standing outside. She didn’t try to peer into the room—she simply handed Riley a dress.“This is for the guest,” she said plainly. “The Alpha asked me to deliver it to her.”Riley took the dress and nodded. “I’ll make sure she gets it,” she replied politely, then shut the door.Turning back to me, Riley walked over, the garment carefully draped over her arms. Her expression was unreadable.“This is from the Alpha,” she said, holding it out to me.I stared at the dress without moving. It was beautiful—too beautiful. A deep burgundy that shimmered in the light, with delicate embroidery along the hem and sleeves. It looked like something a Luna would wea
