Rhea

I wake up before the sun is fully over the horizon, staring at a ceiling that is far too high and far too white.

A week. It’s been exactly seven days since my world crumbled. Seven days since I found out my father was gone, Mrs. Rose was murdered, and Marcus was more of a monster than I ever thought.

Moving into this wing, just a few doors down from Adrian’s private suite, was supposed to make me feel safe. That’s what Adrian said, anyway. But as I lie here in silk sheets that probably cos

  • A danger to the cursed Alpha   Chapter 52

    RheaI stand there, frozen in the doorway, staring at the man who is supposed to be the most powerful being in this territory. Adrian is still leaned against the wall, his chest heaving as if he’s just run a marathon. The sight of him…this ruthless, unbreakable Alpha looking so vulnerable makes my stomach twist in a way that has nothing to do with the bond. "You’re…cursed?" I repeat, my voice barely a whisper. "Adrian, what are you talking about? How is that even possible?"He finally looks up at me. The golden glow in his eyes has faded, replaced by a dull, aching grey. He looks exhausted. He straightens his back with a groan, forcing his body to obey him again, but I can see the slight trembling in his hands."It wasn't an accident, Rhea," he says, his voice rough. "It was a choice. I asked the moon goddess and took it upon myself years ago.""Why would anyone choose something like that?" I ask, stepping closer despite the warning bells in my head. As a nurse, my instinct to help

  • A danger to the cursed Alpha   Chapter 51

    I try to sidestep him, my heart racing for a completely different reason now. "You can’t walk me there, Adrian. I’m serious."He doesn't move an inch. He just stands there, his presence filling the entire doorway. "And why is that?""Because people are already talking!" I snap, my voice hushed but frantic. "I’ve been moved to your wing, I’ve got Delta guards following me like I’m a criminal or a queen, and now the Alpha is going to escort me to the worker’s quarters? It’s not right. I’m a nurse, Adrian. I have a job to do, and I can't do it if everyone is whispering behind my back about... about us.""Let them whisper," he says, his voice dangerously calm. He steps into my space, forcing me to take a step back into my room. "I don't care about the gossip of the pack, Rhea. My only priority is that you are breathing. If that means I walk you to your shift every morning, then that is what will happen.""I’m not one of your soldiers," I fire back, my temper finally sparking through the h

Seven days since I found out my father was gone, Mrs. Rose was murdered, and Marcus was more of a monster than I ever thought.Moving into this wing, just a few doors down from Adrian’s private suite, was supposed to make me feel safe. That’s what Adrian said, anyway. But as I lie here in silk sheets that probably cost more than my father’s medical bills for a year, I feel like a bird in a gilded cage.‘Stop thinking about this too much, Rhea,’ Sira says, sounding clearer and more grounded than she did a week ago. ‘You’re wearing us out before the day even starts.’‘I can’t help it, Sira,’ I sigh internally, pulling the duvet up to my chin. Every time I close my eyes, I see Marcus’s face. I see the moment he broke my bracelet and my eyes glowed red for the first time. I feel like I’m waiting for a bomb to go

  • A danger to the cursed Alpha   Chapter 49

    AdrianI’m standing by the window of my study, staring out at the dark treeline, but I can’t see anything. All I can feel is Rhea. The bond between us is raw and powerful, sending sharp stabs of her grief straight into my lungs. It’s a dull, throbbing ache that makes Talon want to howl. He’s pacing behind my ribs, his claws digging into my psyche, demanding that I go to her, wrap myself around her, and kill anything that made her cry. Fuck, this is the thing about mated bonds. I haven’t even marked her yet, just because some of her blood flows in mine, it’s like we’re intertwined. "Adrian."Jake’s voice breaks my focus. I turn away from the window, my jaw tight. He’s sitting at my desk, surrounded by the physical files of every servant and staff member transferred to Moonshade in the last six months."I found it," Jake says, sliding a thick paper folder across the surface. "Rhea’s reassignment records."I walk over and pull the papers out. My eyes scan the fine print, looking for the

  • A danger to the cursed Alpha   Chapter 48

    RheaI stare at Nora in shock. The air in my room suddenly feels too thin to breathe. My lungs burn as if the poison is back, but this time it’s just the raw, cold weight of the truth."How?" I whisper, my voice cracking. "How could he find me here? He’s human, Nora. He’s just a guy from our village.""He was never just a guy," Nora says, her voice trembling as she wipes at her eyes. "He’s been working for them for years, Rhea. I didn't know at first, I swear. I thought he loved me. I thought he chose me because I was better than you. But he only wanted me because I was close to you. He needed a way to keep eyes on you every single day."I feel a wave of nausea. Every memory I have of Marcus—the first time he held my hand, the way he told me I was beautiful, the "romantic" walks in the woods—it all turns into something rotten in my mind. It wasn't love. It was planned."What 'society,' Nora? Give me a name!" I demand, stepping closer to her. My pulse is thundering in my ears, and I ca

  • A danger to the cursed Alpha   Chapter 47

    RheaAfter what feels like forever, I'm sitting on the cold floor of the interrogation room, feeling like my insides are all shattered. Every breath hurts, like a rough gasp stuck in my throat. Adrian doesn't pull back. He's sitting there in the shadows with me, his strong arms wrapped around me like a hot iron cage. My face is pressed into the crook of his neck, and I can smell him. He smells like rain, and a faint metallic scent from the poison he took from me.I cry until I have nothing left inside. No more tears, no more screams — just an empty, aching hole where my heart used to be. My eyes are puffy and burning, and my skin feels tight and hot. Eventually, the intense shivering calms down into a slow, rhythmical shake.Adrian pulls back just enough to look at me. His big hands gently hold my face, his thumbs softly tracing slow, steady circles to wipe away the tears. There’s a serious look in his eyes I’ve never seen before—a deep, quiet promise."Listen to me, Rhea," he says, h
