last update Last Updated: 2025-03-29 18:15:54

It didn’t feel like freedom. Not yet.

Knowing I had a choice was one thing. Knowing what to do with it was something else entirely. My whole life had been about surviving what came at me, not deciding who I wanted to be. And standing between four Alphas who would bleed for me? That wasn’t power. That was pressure. Immense. Suffocating. Some days, I couldn’t breathe under it.

The wind bit as we rode back into the compound, and I felt raw. Like the scroll had peeled back something inside me and left it exposed to the world. I kept running the seer's words over in my head: the hand that breaks or the one that weaves. But what if both hands were mine? What if I wove something only to watch it tear apart anyway?

Kieran dismounted first, silent as always when his thoughts turned sharp. Ronan gave me a look that lingered, the kind that didn’t press for answers but knew they were coming. Cian stretched his arms with a grunt, already asking someone for food. And Caspian—

  • ALPHA'S CURSED MATE    Chapter 170 – The Burden of Power

    I couldn’t breathe.The air felt thick, heavy, as though the weight of everything was pushing in from all sides. The bond that had once tied us together now felt like it was unraveling—ripping, tugging, pulling at me in ways I couldn’t understand. It was as if the power had broken something inside of me, and now I couldn’t hold on to it. Not anymore.The pack was on edge, their confusion mixing with mine, and I could feel it—feel them—all of them, in a way I never had before. The bond between us was stretched too thin, too unstable. It was pulsing with energy, but it was no longer something I could control. It was a force, raw and wild, that seemed to be growing with every passing moment. And as I turned to face the pack, I could feel the change in the air. Feel Cian.His presence had always been commanding, but now, it was more than that. It was overwhelming. He was standing at the edge of the clearing, his body tense, his eyes burning with some

  • ALPHA'S CURSED MATE    Chapter 169 – The Weight of Futures

    It wasn’t supposed to be like this.I was supposed to feel grounded, secure in the bond that had always held us together. But the power, the new power, pulsed in me now—unfamiliar, unsettling. It was as if the very fabric of time itself had unraveled beneath my feet, pulling at the edges of everything I had once known.I could still feel the bond between Kieran and me, stretching taut as ever, but it was different. I was different.And it wasn’t just me. The pack was changing, too. There was a palpable shift in the air, the way the wolves seemed to draw closer, the way their eyes lingered on me longer than I was comfortable with. It wasn’t just the bond that had been completed—it was something else. Something more dangerous.Caspian had been watching me quietly since the bond had solidified. His eyes had softened, but there was a new tension in his posture, a wariness in his gaze that I couldn’t quite place. As though he could feel the s

  • ALPHA'S CURSED MATE     Chapter 167 – The Mating Bond Completes

    I felt it before I understood it. A shift in the air, something delicate and ancient snapping into place. A pulse of energy that reverberated through my body, so sharp and sudden that it stole my breath away. For a moment, I couldn’t move. I couldn’t think. It was as if the world itself had tilted on its axis, throwing everything into chaos. It didn’t hurt, not at first. But then the pain came. It was like the world was folding in on me, twisting everything that had been whole, bending it until I felt like I was coming apart at the seams. My breath hitched, my chest tightening with the force of something unseen—something strong, powerful, and impossible to ignore. The bond. The bond between me and Kieran—the bond that had been incomplete, weakened by the ritual, torn by choices I had made—was finally, irrevocably, complete. I gasped for air, my hands shaking as I reached out to steady myself. My fingers brus

    It happened in an instant.One breath I was reeling from the intensity of the bond completing, feeling its raw power searing through me, pushing me to the edge of something I couldn’t even name. The next, everything shifted. The air thickened. The very ground beneath me seemed to pulse in time with my heartbeat, and the sky above felt too close, like it was folding inward.I felt... everything.Kieran’s grip on my hand tightened, his breath shallow as he tried to anchor me, to keep me steady. But it was like a flood had broken loose inside me, and there was no stopping it. I could feel the energy, the force of it, stretching outward, reaching beyond the confines of the room. Beyond the walls. Beyond the earth itself.I gasped, my chest tightening with the force of it, my body trembling under the weight of something so vast, so uncontrollable. It was like trying to hold a storm in my palms, but the storm wasn’t just weather. It wasn’t jus

  • ALPHA'S CURSED MATE     Chapter 166 – The Weight of the Bond

    I woke with a gasp, my body thrumming with a mixture of exhaustion and raw power that I couldn’t comprehend. The room was still, too still. And yet, the silence screamed at me. My mind felt thick, clouded, like I was waking from a dream that I couldn’t remember clearly, but the sensations—the pain, the pressure, the overwhelming weight of what I had given—remained with me.I barely had time to register the sensation of Kieran’s hand brushing mine, the faint pulse of warmth, before I was surrounded by the voices.“Is she awake?”“Seraphina?”I turned my head, but my limbs felt like they belonged to someone else. I could feel their eyes on me, waiting for me to speak, for some sign that I was still here, still the leader they needed me to be. But I wasn’t sure I could give them that. Not anymore.Caspian was standing just inside the door, his face unreadable. Kieran, still weak, was sitting beside me, his face drawn, his eyes filled with more questions than I

  • ALPHA'S CURSED MATE     Chapter 165 – The Price of Life

    I couldn't breathe.The weight of what had happened crashed down on me, every breath ragged, my body trembling with the remnants of the ritual's power. The room felt too small, too suffocating, as the magic that had coursed through my veins bled away, leaving only the hollow ache of what I had lost.Ronan was gone.The words had been heavy in my mind, but they had never truly settled until I had turned to look at him, to see his lifeless form against the cold stone of the wall. His sacrifice—his life—had been the price to bring Kieran back, to save him. But it had cost me too. And as I sank to my knees, the exhaustion crashing over me, I realized there was no way to turn back. No way to fix the damage.Not even the steady sound of Kieran’s breath, the faintest rise and fall of his chest, could ease the raw grief burning in my heart.I had lost him. The price had been too high.But then, a sound—faint but undeniable—brok
