Max’s POV

And then she laughed.

It was a slow, amused laugh that curled like smoke.

“You really are something else,” she said, crossing her arms, clearly unimpressed. “Attracting every single woman in a ten-mile radius. Including the hired help.”

“Lana…” I started, voice tight. I hoped she didn’t misunderstand the situation.

But she just walked past the maid, who scrambled to grab her uniform and disappear in shame.

Lana sauntered over to me, her eyes shining with smug amusement.

“Did you want her?” she teased.

“I nearly threw her through the wall.”

“Good. Because if you’d so much as wanted her, I would’ve made sure you didn’t get to use that mouth of yours for a month.”

I smirked despite myself.

“You’re not jealous?”

She leaned in, dragging her nails lightly down my chest.

“No. I’m not jealous,” she said softly. “I just know exactly what’s mine.”

Then she kissed me in a possessive, claiming way sealing the moment with heat and laughter.

I wrapped my arms around her waist and lifted h

  • A wife for the cursed alpha    44. Tender loving

    Max’s POVI didn’t speak as I drove. My hand rested on her lap the entire ride, and she didn’t ask a single question. Lana always had a way of sensing when something was bigger than words.We left the city lights behind, the road thinning, narrowing, until trees replaced buildings then, I turned into a private lane. It was long and winding, tucked into the side of a forested mountain.When the villa came into view, it looked like it had been carved from a dream. Glass walls, natural wood, and stone steps. A private lake shimmered beyond the back deck, and the air smelled like pine and lavender.She stepped out of the car slowly, her eyes scanning everything like she couldn’t quite believe it.“Max… what is this place?”“Peace,” I said. “And yours. For as long as you want it to be.”She didn’t speak. She just let me take her hand and guide her inside.Warmth greeted us immediately, there was a candlelight flickering across and a quiet fireplace already lit. A maid stepped out from the

  • A wife for the cursed alpha    43. The ring

    Lana’s POVOne hand splayed across my stomach, the other came up to grip my throat again in a gentle but dominant way. My fingers braced against the wall as he moved inside me, his mouth brushing against my shoulder, then biting down softly as the tension built between us.It wasn’t just wild, it was intense.It was as if every thrust was an apology he didn’t know how to say out loud.When we both came, it was quiet, just a gasp, a tremble, the press of his chest against my back as we clung to each other under the water, shaking.He kissed my temple as he slowly pulled out, resting his forehead against the curve of my neck.We stayed there, tangled in water and skin and silence, until the steam began to cool.Later, wrapped in a towel, I stepped into the bedroom to find him getting dressed in the same jeans and black shirt he’d worn yesterday.I gave him a look. “Seriously?”He glanced down. “I didn’t exactly plan to stay overnight.”I laughed, grabbing a hanger from the closet. “You’

  • A wife for the cursed alpha    42. Good meal

    Lana’s POVI woke up to the damn sun bleeding through the floor-length curtains, I felt his skin against mine, his arms were around my waist, my heart beating steadily inside my back. For a moment even after fully waking up, I didn’t move. I just lay there, breathing him in. Max.His chest rose and fell with a rhythm that matched mine too perfectly. His arm was across mine and he held me very tightly.I turned my face slightly into the pillow and whispered, “We said we wouldn’t do this again.”He tightened his hold around me. “You said that. I never agreed.”I rolled onto my back, looked up at him. His hair was messed up, the line of his jaw filled with stubble, but his eyes, God, his eyes were looking exceptionally beautiful that morning.He leaned in and pressed a kiss to my forehead. “Let me make you breakfast.”I blinked. “You? Cook?”His mouth twitched. “You’re not the only one who knows her way around a boardroom and a kitchen.”I snorted. “What could you possibly make that isn

  • A wife for the cursed alpha    41. No more running.

    Lana’s POVHe slid inside me, it wasn’t just physical. It was history folding in on itself. It was memory and heat and home all tangled up in one deep, aching thrust.I gasped.He stilled, forehead resting against mine, eyes locked with mine.“You okay?” he asked, voice hoarse.I nodded, but that wasn’t enough.“I missed you,” I whispered.He exhaled deeply. Then he moved.Slow at first, every roll of his hips was precise and very controlled. He kissed me between every breath. My jaw, my shoulder, the curve of my breast. Like he was telling me something without saying a word.I arched into him, matching his rhythm, digging my nails into his back.“God, Lana,” he groaned. “You’re still…”“Yours,” I whispered before he could finish. “I never stopped being yours.”That cracked something open in both of us.He began moving harder, faster,still careful, still tuned to me but with an urgency neither of us could suppress anymore.Our bodies moved in sync, chasing a high we knew by heart.He

  • A wife for the cursed alpha    40. Temptation

    Lana’s POVThe apartment smelled a bit different when I stepped in.I closed the door behind me, dropping my keys into the tray by instinct. My heels came off next with a tired flick. My shoulders sagged as I walked farther in.Tonight was a very long day. The dinner with Sophie had helped, sure, but nothing dulled the rage still smoldering beneath my skin.My brain wouldn’t turn off. Not when every piece of this puzzle felt just within reach.I reached for the light switch when a strong arm wrapped around me from behind.I froze.My first instinct was a twist and a punch. Years of corporate paranoia had trained me well.But the scent hit me before anything else.Max.His body was warm and hard, pressed against mine as if he belonged there.“I missed you,” he murmured into my hair, like it was the most natural thing in the world.I didn't breathe properly for a full beat. Then I snapped out of my daze.“What the hell are you doing in my house?”His arms didn’t loosen. “Lana...”“Max.”
