The room is very quiet as I stare at Selene Nightengale. I hear the sound of a clock tick and the sound of guard’s boots outside. I look at the wine glass Selene pushed toward me. It's filled with deep red wine that shines under the dim lamps. My dry throat is dry, partly from a long clinic shift and nerves of sitting across from the woman who was supposed to be the Luna of this pack.

    RheaThe room is very quiet as I stare at Selene Nightengale. I hear the sound of a clock tick and the sound of guard’s boots outside. I look at the wine glass Selene pushed toward me. It's filled with deep red wine that shines under the dim lamps. My dry throat is dry, partly from a long clinic shift and nerves of sitting across from the woman who was supposed to be the Luna of this pack.“Come on, have a drink with me.” She raises her own cup and pauses for a moment before taking it to her lips. I pause for a moment before taking a small sip like her. The wine sweet with a bit of a metallic aftertaste that I figure comes from the pricey vintage. I set the glass down, my hands folded tightly in my lap."I suppose you’re wondering why I asked you here," Selene says in a smooth and melodic voice. She doesn't drink her wine anymore, She just watching me with those clear, calm eyes."The guard said it was urgent," I remind her, trying to keep my voice even.Selene lets out a small sigh,

  • A danger to the cursed Alpha   Chapter 54

    By the time my shift wraps up, the sun's starting to go down. I’m totally drained, my head a jumble of medical charts and thoughts about my missing dad. I’m packing up my stuff, getting ready to head back to the private wing when Nora steps out from behind a pillar.She looks better than she did last time, but there’s still a frantic look in her eyes, as if she's scared of something."Rhea," she whispers, catching my arm."Nora? What are you doing here?""I…I had to see you," she says, looking over her shoulder. "Have you told him yet? About Marcus? About what he's planning to do?"I sigh, leaning back against the cold stone wall. "No. I haven't.""Why not? Rhea, he’s dangerous. Every second you wait is a second Marcus gets closer to whatever his end game is.""I know that, Nora! But Adrian is… he’s reactive. If I tell him Marcus might be the one behind the attack, he’ll burn down half the forest looking for him.And right now, we don't know if he has my father. I can't take that risk.

    RheaMy lips are still tingling by the time I reach the workers' quarters. I try to scrub the blush off my cheeks with the heels of my hands, but it’s no use. Sira won’t stop humming in the back of my head, a soft laughter that makes it impossible to focus. I take a few deep breaths, adjust my scrubs, and push through the doors of the medical wing.The moment I walk in, Taylor is there, her eyes widening as she takes me in. She’s been my closest friend here, but ever since I moved into the main manor, there’s been this weird, invisible wall between us. I hate it a lot."Look who decided to show up," Taylor says, though she’s smiling. She pulls me into a quick, tight hug. "We missed you yesterday. The place was a mess.""I'm sorry, Tay,” I say, feeling that familiar pang of guilt. "Things have just been… a lot.""I bet," another nurse, Sarah, chimes in as she passes by with a tray of bandages. She gives me a knowing look, the kind that says she’s heard the rumors about where I’m sleep

    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

    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

  • A danger to the cursed Alpha   Chapter 50

    RheaI 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 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
