Violetta woke up screaming.

Her body jolted upright, breath tearing out of her chest as if she had been dragged back into that dark room again—hands on her wrists, the smell of alcohol, the sound of a man’s voice dripping with cruelty.

“No—! Please leave me…” She looked around frantically as if she wanted to escape this place.

Arms wrapped around her instantly.

“Asher,” she gasped, clutching at his shirt as if the world might vanish if she let go. Her nails dug into him, shaking, desperate.

“I’m here,” he murmured, pulling her fully against him, one hand cradling the back of her head, the other rubbing slow, steady circles down her spine. “You’re safe. I’ve got you.”

Her sobs came hard and broken, muffled against his chest. Her body trembled like it hadn’t realized yet that the danger was over.

Asher closed his eyes.

Every tear felt like a silver blade on his heart.

He rocked her gently, pressing his lips to her hair again and again, whispering reassurances he wasn’t sure she could

  • After Betrayal, I Married The Cursed Alpha King   Chapter: The Weight After Victory

    The mansion was too quiet when they returned.Not the peaceful kind—this was the kind of silence that pressed against the ears, that settled into the bones after something monumental had happened. The kind that followed truth when it was dragged into the light and left there bleeding.Violetta slipped out of her heels the moment they stepped inside.Her feet ached. Her head throbbed. Her chest felt… hollow.She hadn’t realized how tightly she had been holding herself together until the doors closed behind them.Draven watched her carefully.She moved slower now. The sharp confidence she’d worn in the hall had softened into something fragile, something human. She walked to the sofa and sat down without a word, folding her hands in her lap like she was afraid they might shake if she didn’t.He crossed the room and knelt in front of her.“You should have told me,” he said quietly.She looked at him then—really looked. His eyes weren’t angry

  • After Betrayal, I Married The Cursed Alpha King   Chapter: Blood And Truth

    The hall chosen for the meeting was old—older than most of the men seated inside it. Dark wood. Stone pillars. Ancestral symbols carved into the walls like reminders that power here was inherited, not earned. Every Alpha present wore pride like armor, their Lunas seated beside them, elegant and watchful. Violetta walked in beside Draven, her hand resting lightly in the crook of his arm. She felt the tension ripple through the room the moment they entered. Whispers followed them. Curious. Judging. Measuring. Some still saw her as the outsider. Others as the woman who survived too much and didn’t break. A few—very few—recognized her as something more dangerous. Rafael King sat two rows ahead. Perfect posture. Calm expression. His wife sat beside him, pale but composed, her hand resting protectively over the child in her lap. A beautiful picture. A tragic lie. Violetta looked at the woman only once. That was enough. The grandfather entered last, leaning heavily on his cane, e

  • After Betrayal, I Married The Cursed Alpha King   Chapter: The Quiet Knife

    Violetta did not sleep.Not really.She rested her body when it demanded rest, but her mind never stopped moving. Every breath Draven took beside her, every quiet rise and fall of his chest, reminded her why she couldn’t afford weakness—not now.If his world was built on power, then power was exactly what she would learn to wield.She worked in silence.No dramatic declarations. No promises spoken aloud... Just action.Her phone became her weapon.Old contacts. Former colleagues from the corporate world who owed her favors. Friends who had once whispered secrets in confidence and now trusted her enough to do so again. She reached out carefully, never revealing her purpose, never mentioning Draven’s name outright.She asked the right questions.She listened more than she spoke.And slowly—thread by thread—the truth unraveled.It was Mara Smith who finally cracked the wall.They met late at night in a quiet café on the edge of the city, the kind of place where secrets clung to the corne

    The party faded behind them like a dream that lingered on the skin.Draven’s hand remained at the small of Violetta’s back as they walked through the palace gates, his thumb brushing slow, absent circles as if to reassure himself that she was real, that this peace was real. When the guests dispersed, Draven pulled Violetta into a dark corner with a teasing smile plastered on his face. “So, what were you saying, My Queen?” Violetta furrowed her brows and acted clueless. “I don’t know what you are talking about,” She answered, and he snaked his arm around her waist and pulled her closer. “Let me remind you then, My Queen,” He said and pressed his lips to her plump lips. A groan escaped his throat, and Violetta’s heart fluttered. Heat pooled in her core, and she tried hard to control it. But his closeness was not making it easier for her. “F*ck! I can smell your arousal, Love. And you are not making it easier for me,” He growled and deepened the kiss. Violetta smiled and put a hand o

  • After Betrayal, I Married The Cursed Alpha King   CHAPTER: A GAME OF KINGS

    The royal palace glittered like a living jewel.Crystal chandeliers poured light over marble floors, gold-threaded banners bearing the insignias of every major pack lining the grand hall. Power gathered here tonight—measured not just in titles, but in glances, alliances, and unspoken debts.Violetta stood beside Draven, her hand resting lightly on his arm.She wore deep emerald silk, simple but striking, the kind of elegance that didn’t beg for attention yet claimed it anyway. She felt dozens of eyes on her—some curious, some assessing, some sharp with envy.Draven leaned closer, his voice low. “Stay where you’re comfortable. I won’t be far.”She nodded. “Go. I’ll survive politics for a while.”His masked gaze lingered on her a heartbeat longer than necessary before he was pulled into conversation by a group of senior alphas.That was when she felt it.The shift.Liam.She didn’t need to look to know he was there. Some wounds never fully forget the shape of the blade.She turned—and t

  • After Betrayal, I Married The Cursed Alpha King   Chapter 29: Secret Traps

    The slip happened quietly.That was the most terrifying part.Violetta noticed it when Asher’s hand tightened around hers—not painfully, just enough to make her glance down.His fingers were longer.Not by much. Just enough to be wrong.Her breath caught.“Asher…” she whispered.He followed her gaze.And froze.The skin along his knuckles darkened faintly, veins standing out like black threads beneath the surface. His nails weren’t claws—not yet—but they were sharper, edges catching the light.“No,” he breathed. “Not now.”He tried to pull his hand away.Violetta didn’t let him.Her heart was pounding so hard she could hear it in her ears, fear licking up her spine—but she stayed. She forced herself to stay.“You’re still you,” she said, though her voice trembled. “I’m right here.”Asher’s jaw clenched. Sweat beaded at his temple as the curse reacted violently to her closeness—confused, enraged, cornered.“You shouldn’t see this,” he said hoarsely. “This is what comes before—”“Before
