Eira’s POV

The longer the silence stretched, the more nervous I became. What if he rejected the rule? Could I really stay here, knowing I’d have no equal footing in the pack—that he’d always be right, no matter what he did?

I couldn’t believe I might have to leave this pack… the one I had just joined.

“As long as you come here with me, you won’t be a decorative Luna. You’ll have equal footing. It’s normal,” Magnus said, his voice so casual it made my eyes widen.

“What?” I blinked, stunned. He agreed?

“You heard me,” he muttered, eyes locking with mine. “We’ll both have equal standing—if you become my wife.”

His words brought a strange sense of comfort. Kieran would never have agreed to something like this. He always insisted the Alpha deserved the utmost respect, even from his own Luna.

I shook my head and lightly smacked my cheeks, earning a questioning look from Magnus, which I ignored. I needed to stop comparing every man to Kieran.

Maybe I’d overthought everything.

  • 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

  • A Deal With The Cursed Alpha    26. Are You The Luna?

    Eira’s POV“If I may ask, how did your conversation with the Alpha go?” Riley’s voice drew my attention away from the book I was reading.I was lying on my back in bed, holding the book above my face. It was one of my usual reading positions, but this time, it wasn’t as comfortable as it used to be.I sighed softly and shifted, lowering the book to my chest. Then I turned onto my side, propping my head up with one hand while letting the other rest on the blanket. That felt a lot better.Looking at Riley, I finally answered, “It went… okay, I guess. Confusing, but okay.”She raised an eyebrow, clearly waiting for me to say more.I ignored the look in her eyes, pretending I had nothing else to add, and turned my attention back to the book. There was no point in continuing the conversation—especially when I wasn’t entirely sure she was on my side.For all I knew, she resented the idea that a woman from nowhere, with no notable background, was about to become the Luna of the pack.In most

  • A Deal With The Cursed Alpha    25. Autumn

    Magnus POVAs soon as I asked the question, I watched her freeze.Her expression didn’t crack—Eira was too composed for that—but the flicker in her eyes was enough. She was caught off guard, and for someone who had built her rules so carefully, that meant something.“No,” she said finally, her voice firm but quiet. “I mean I’m not here to repeat old mistakes.”She didn’t deny still loving him.And maybe I didn’t expect her to.I leaned back in my chair, letting the silence stretch. If she thought I was going to push her, she was wrong. I didn’t need to. Kieran had left enough damage behind—I could see it in how she held herself, in the clauses she’d added, in the fire behind her eyes every time I read one aloud.But I wasn’t Kieran.And I was going to make sure she knew that.The way she tried to explain every clause was... adorable. The sound of her voice was like music to my ears, and I just wanted to hear her flutter as she scrambled for the right words.“Right,” I said finally. “S

  • A Deal With The Cursed Alpha    23. He is Jake II

    Eira’s PovHe doesn’t care about finding his mate?What does that even mean?She’s probably out there—waiting, hoping that her mate will come and claim her, so they can finally be together.But the thought barely had time to settle before a bitter ache twisted in my chest. Finding your mate doesn’t mean a happy ending. I should know.I’m living proof of that.My mate and I went our separate ways.The bond? I broke it.And now… there’s no going back.“We’ll discuss this later,” Magnus said flatly, cutting off his aide. “We have a guest at the door.”I flinched.Of course, he knew I’d been standing there the whole time. No use pretending.Before either of them could move, I knocked lightly, then pushed the door open just enough to peek inside.“Can I come in?” I asked, my eyes falling on Magnus behind his desk. His aide stood beside him, frowning like I’d just tracked mud into a sacred place.He didn’t like me.Couldn’t blame him. Who would like the woman who used to be mated to your Al

  • A Deal With The Cursed Alpha    22. He is Jake

    Eira’s Pov“Dress or pants?”The brown-haired girl held up a blue dress and a pair of pants, flashing me a bright smile.I hesitated, my eyes darting between the two. I had no idea which to choose.For the past hour, she had made me shower thoroughly, and now she was waiting for me to pick an outfit. That was something Fiona used to do for me. Thinking of her now, I felt a pang of worry. Was she okay at that pack? Had her mate taken her away since I was no longer there? I just hoped she was alright.“Dress or pants?” she repeated, this time her smile faltering. “Are you okay?”I quickly nodded and pointed at the pants. “The pants are fine.”She studied me for a moment, clearly unconvinced, but didn’t push. Instead, she placed the pants on the bed, along with a white shirt and a blue leather jacket.“Do you need help getting dressed?” she asked.I shook my head and picked up the pants. “Nope. I’ll be done in a few minutes.”A few moments later, I stood in front of the mirror, fully dre
