Sitting in front of a mirror, those glowing amber eyes were staring at their reflection in it. 

"You are looking really very beautiful, Luna Fiana," one of the maids complimented her, which brought a gentle smile to her face. 

"I am sure Alpha Lucian won't be able to take his eyes away from you today," another maid uttered. Their Luna blushed before sending a fake glare to all of her maids, who were giggling. Even after being the Alpha female of The Blood Night Pack, Fiana Venzor was a very down to earth lady. Her warm and tender nature always used to make each and every person around her comfortable and happy. Even after being a royalty, she never treated anyone with disrespect or harshness in the castle and even outside it. Almost each and every member of their pack used to love and respect her a lot.

Another maid of the castle came and bowed her head in front of their queen.

"Luna Fiana, Alpha Lucian is waiting for you in the rose garden," the maid informed, earning a tender nod from Fiana. She got up from the chair. Her maids were about to follow her but she stopped them and told them she wanted to go alone. The maids had no authority to defy her words, so they obliged and after that, Fiana walked out of her chamber. 

Stepping inside the rose garden which was one of the most beautiful gardens in that castle and which the Alpha had specially made for her because she loved rose, Fiana finally saw her mate, her love, the father of her son and the Alpha of The Blood Night Pack, standing there waiting for her. She walked towards him with a smile.

She noticed his dark brown orbs getting filled with love as soon as they fell on her. She hugged him when he returned gladly and pecked her forehead.

"I apologise for making you wait, Alpha," She said which made him beam.

"You don't have to because my wait finally paid off," he uttered, looking at his mate from her head to her toe. Her cheeks hued, hearing his teasing tone. He chuckled before holding her hand and then they both started taking a walk in that garden which they both loved to do together.

"Where is Darren?" Fiana was smelling a rose when she heard her mate asking her about their 10 years old son. 

"He is playing with his friends and cousins," she answered him, earning a nod from him until

"Alpha…." A guard came rushing towards them. The couple looked at him. The guard was panting heavily. He lowered his head in front of his king and queen.

"I apologise for coming unannounced but Prince Darren…" the guard paused, widening Fiana's eyes in fear.

"What happened to Darren?" Lucian asked, both commanding and worried.

"Please come with me," the couple hurriedly followed that guard who took them where their 10 years old son was.

"DARREN…." Fiana screamed out of her lungs, witnessing fire blazing all over that chamber because her son was inside it. One among the kids revealed that they all were playing hide and seek and Prince Darren had gone inside that chamber to hide himself but suddenly that chamber caught fire and everything started burning. The rest of the kids panicked and called the guards for help.

The maids were trying to hold Fiana back from going inside that chamber where her son was.

"Luna, please calm down. Alpha Lucian and Beta George have gone inside. I am sure they will take the prince out safely. Please calm down," the Beta Female, Agnes, tried to assure Fiana but it did nothing to calm that mother, who was crying her heart out in fear of what if something bad would happen to her son.

After some few moments, Fiana saw Lucian taking out their son from that burning chamber who was unconscious in his father's embrace.

"Darren," She dashed towards them and her eyes watered more, witnessing those deep burning marks on her son's skin. 

"Call the healer immediately," Lucian commanded his Beta. He immediately nodded.

………..

"Prince Darren is alright. He will get back his consciousness in some couple of hours, Alpha," The healer informed, after treating him. Lucian nodded and then dismissed the healer. He looked at his mate, Fiana, who was sitting beside their son while holding his hand in her. Tears were aggressively falling from her eyes. He sighed before taking the place beside her.

"Darren is fine, Fiana. Please embrace yourself," he clutched her other hand. She squeezed her watery eyes shut before turning her towards him.

"We have to call her again," she uttered and he immediately understood whom she was talking about.

"It's all because of that curse, Lucian. That curse is roaming around our son's life and it wants to harm him, please call her here. Only she could help our son," She whimpered. When Fiana was pregnant with Darren, she had smelt a white rose as her habit which turned out to be one of the biggest mistakes of her life. That red rose turned completely black soon after she smelt it and then she turned unconscious. When she woke up, she got to know that someone had cast an evil spell on that rose with the purpose of harming her and her unborn child and from that day, she continued to see terrifying nightmares regarding her child's life until she didn't give birth to him but even after Darren's birth, things didn't ease, instead turned more complicated and petrifying. 

From the day Darren was born, his life had gotten into danger countless times. From almost getting drowned into a river to falling from a rooftop. Getting bitten by a snake to almost getting stabbed by a knife. From catching a life-threatening fever to almost getting burned in the fire, he had always attracted harm to his life in one or other way and his parents knew it was because of that cursed white rose.

"Lucian, please call her here. I can't watch my son getting hurt over and over again. Please call her. I beg you," she broke down into tears. Lucian immediately pulled her into his arms and sighed.

"Calm down. I will call her here, Fiana but please calm down," he uttered while patting her head and gazing at his son's closed eyes. Fiana is right. Only she could help them and their son now.

After a couple of days, Fiana and Lucian were sitting on the bed beside their son who was sleeping. His body was still healing because of that accident in that burning chamber. His burning wounds were still fresh and were healing slowly and slowly.

"Alpha, she is here," a guard came and informed Lucian. He nodded and told him to take her inside. That specific person for whom the couple was restlessly waiting from the past couple of days and she was finally here…..Witch Sirena. One of the most powerful witches of that time. It was her, who had told them that the white rose was cursed which Fiana had smelt.

The couple stood up on their feet as soon as they saw her stepping inside. Her aura darkened the entire surrounding of that chamber. She bowed her head in front of Lucian and Fiana. The couple told her everything that had happened to their son. The witch patiently listened to them before stepping closer to the sleeping little prince.

Her piercing dark eyes roamed all over his wounds on his body before focusing on his closed eyes. Lifting her hand, she placed her palm over his head. The couple watched her murmuring something inside her mouth which made their son flash open his eyes.

He tilted his head and that witch saw his gleaming amber orbs peering at her. The witch passed the kid a smile before turning around and looking at his extremely worried parents.

"Sirena, please help us," Fiana begged her through her watery eyes. The witch sighed and tilted her head to look at the little prince who had again fallen asleep.

"Nothing can break that curse which is hanging over your son's life, Luna Fiana," 

Both Fiana and Lucian's heart ached, hearing her. The witch looked at the couple again.

"Except his mate," she uttered. They both wordlessly heard her.

"His mate will be his sole protector and the day he will mark his mate, this curse will get broken completely but till then, he would have to face these difficulties," a hope flickered inside them at her words.

"But can you please tell me when he will find his mate?" Fiana sounded desperate, even after already knowing the answer. Her question brought a smirk to form on the witch's face.

"Time will tell that when…." She paused and turned her head towards the prince.

"He is going to find his destined mate," she completed her words and then took out a grey colour stone from her satchel. It was shimmering. She handed it to Fiana.

"Till then keep this stone always closer to him. It would not be able to stop that curse from harming him but it will help him in remain protected from it and the day this stone will find its destined possessor, he will find his mate too," 

Fiana took that stone from her and wagged her head. After that, the witch took her leave and left from the castle, giving the couple a hope that their son would get free from that curse once he would mark his mate but little did they know what their son's destiny had really stored for him and his mate.

…………….

"Ouch ….." 

"What happened, Aria?" The Alpha of the Silver Shade Pack, Slade Kensley, asked his pregnant mate who was clutching her swollen belly and just groaned. 

"She just kicked me, Slade," Aria answered her mate, smiling. Her words brought a smile to Slade's face. Placing his palm over her belly, he gently caressed it.

"Seems like our little princess loved her father's idea of coming to this woods for a walk," 

Aria chuckled, hearing him. The couple had decided to come and visit in the woods which was just located behind their castle's. They both were enjoying their time together when suddenly the beautiful bright sky started turning dark and gloomy. It alerted Alpha Slade because he could feel the reason behind that sudden gloominess. Grabbing his pregnant mate's hand, he shielded her behind him and clutched the grip of his sword.

"Come out, right now," he seethed out, while peering at that darkness around them with his steel grey eyes. Aria clutched his shoulder tightly and swallowed hard in fear. She had never witnessed something so terrifying like this.

"I said, come out. I am giving this as a last warning," Slade knew something diabolic was prevailing in that darkness but it was invisible to their eyes. But suddenly he felt an abrupt force passing them which made him take out his sword and pierced it in the air. 

A scream resonated whereas Aria's eyes widened in horror, witnessing that blood dripping from his sword. Slade's grey eyes were burning crimson as his wolf had taken over him in alertness. 

A fog of dark smoke gathered in front of him from which the blood was flowing aggressively and then he saw that figure emerging from that fog. Aria witnessed a figure falling on the ground which stilled her but Slade's burning eyes hardened by watching a warlock…..

Blood was dripping from the wound he had given him. His sword had penetrated deeper inside his chest. If it would have been a normal sword, it would not be able to do anything to harm him but that sword of his was laced with a special and powerful kind of spell for ending and protection against any kind of diabolic and mystical powers. 

"What were you doing here in my territory?" He questioned him. In reply, the couple heard the warlock groaning in extreme amounts of pain before his eyes snapped towards them. Charcoal tears were rolling down from his darkened eyes which were penetrating deeper inside their souls. Aria clutched her mate's hands tightly as soon as she saw his inky eyes gazing at her belly.

Slade gritted his teeth before placing his the tip of his sword at his neck 

"What were you doing here?" He snarled. An iniquitous grin formed on the warlock's face, even after his whole body was writhing in pain. His eyes were shedding the tears of blood now.

"Your daughter will pay for this, Slade…." His words unleashed his inner beast. Slade shoved his sword inside his abdomen, earning a soul piercing scream from him. A sob broke out from Aria's mouth.

She saw black smoke again gathering all around that warlock's body which started making her body fade and then it completely vanished into thin air. Aria was shivering in pure terror by now which made Slade embrace her tightly until.

"Your daughter will pay for this, Slade Kensley," a female whimpering scream echoed in the woods, freezing the couple. Slade was quick enough to figure out whose voice that was…. witch Sirena….he had heard a lot about her and her powers.

"We had not come here to harm you or your loved ones but now……your life's most precious thing will burn in this same pain in which I am burning today,…" that crying voice grew louder, growling, almost flaming their ears.

"Your daughter will watch her love dying in front of her eyes the way you have made me witness today, Slade Kensley,"

The couple had numbed to their place by now. The darkness around them turned more cavernous.

"The day her mate will mark her, she will become mateless. Her mate will die in front of her own eyes….. and she wouldn't be able to do anything just like me…."

  • Alpha Darren's Cursed Mate   EPILOGUE

    "You were right, Alpha King," Rowan spoke, standing in front of his chair while looking at Darren who was sitting on his throne. A meeting was going on between all the members of The Blood Night Pack in the royal court. "We checked those territories and they were actually getting targeted by our neighbourhood packs but as per your order, we have doubled our guards there, so our people can leave in peace and without fear," Rowan stated further. Darren wagged his head in approval after hearing his beta, Rowan. Darren opened his mouth to ask him about other matters. "And what about…" "Alpha King…." That melodious baby voice cutted Darren's words in the middle. Everyone turned their towards the owner of that sweet voice, including Darren and he found his 3 years old daughter, Aeren, standing in front of him with an adorably angry pout on her tiny face. "I came here with a complaint to you, Alpha King," that little girl spoke to her father in her tender yet courageous voice while pe

  • Alpha Darren's Cursed Mate   Completion Of Promise

    "Punish those brutal monsters and give your sister her justice, mate…."Like a frozen statue, Aereza gaped at Darren. All these years she was aching to kill those monsters who took her sister away from her but now it was frightening her. Her own emotions were terrifying her. Darren noticed how disturbed she was looking but he knew he needed to take her out of her trauma before it would consume her completely. He cupped her face and looked deeply into her eyes."My Aereza is not someone weak, bellissima because my Aereza in herself is an epitome of strength and courage," he tried to make her recall how fearless and brave she was."She never needed someone or something to prove her worth. She has always been capable of fighting for her own self and her loved ones. She has never accepted her defeat before anyone," Aereza keenly heard him, whereas Wren felt extremely happy that his granddaughter had received such a supportive person as her mate who not only just loved her but respected h

  • Alpha Darren's Cursed Mate   Justice To Ivory

    Waiting to meet Darren for the entire day to talk about her encounter with Alexandria this morning, Aereza finally heard the sound of footsteps entering inside her chamber in the night. She thought it was him, so she immediately turned around to face the owner of those footsteps approaching her but her brows wiggled in confusion not only just because it was not whom she was expecting but because it was someone she had not even expected in her thoughts. "What are you doing here?" Aereza questioned that person in front of her. She was extremely confused by finding that person in her chamber, especially at that time of the night. That person didn't answer which turned her more bewildered. "What are you doing here in my chamber, Gamma Herald?" She asked again and this time, she addressed that person with his name and title. What was he doing here? Aereza caught the corner of his lips lightly tugging upward at her repetition of her question and it alerted Aereza. His cunning smirk told he

  • Alpha Darren's Cursed Mate   Luna Aereza

    The entire castle which had turned gloomy after Alexandria's death had again started illuminating after Darren announced his mating ceremony with Aereza. The entire castle was being decorated for the ceremony which was going to happen tonight. Happiness had scattered all around the entire Blood Night Pack."Finally, everything is turning happy in our pack again," Aereza smiled gently after hearing Blair's words. They both were sitting on Aereza's bed in her chamber."And mother has sent this massaging oil for you. She said it is very beneficial for yours and your baby's health, so at least massage yourself with this thrice or more in a week," Blair handed the glass bottle of oil to Aereza. Blair's mother was a royal healer in the castle so Darren ordered her to check on Aereza and their baby because for now, he didn't want to reveal about Aereza's pregnancy to the outside world, not at least before he would catch that culprit who had tried to harm her. Blair's mother sent that herbal

  • Alpha Darren's Cursed Mate   The Acceptance

    "Our pack's people have now started turning against Alpha King for shielding Aereza from them," the revelation shook everyone to their hearts. All of them got up on their feet and gave a startled glance to that informer."Things are getting more messy with every passing moment," Rowan uttered with an extremely tense face. Darren looked at him."Someone is trying to manipulate our people against you and it's confirm now that person is from inside who got to know that we have taken Aereza inside the castle," Darren exhaled a heavy breath after hearing Rowan. "I will go and meet my people," he said, shocking everyone there."But Darren, it could be risky going out at this moment when everyone has turned so outrageous against you and we don't even know who the real culprit is," Aereza stated, terrified. She didn't want any harm to any of her loved ones anymore, especially him."Don't worry, I will manage," Darren replied and tried to assure her but she shook her head."No, I will come w

  • Alpha Darren's Cursed Mate   Hiding Aereza

    "And the entire Blood Night Pack is demanding Aereza's execution," Both Aereza and Darren completely froze in their places after hearing Rowan, especially Aereza because she didn't even know why and how she was supposed to receive such a brutal punishment for a crime she was not even aware of. On the other hand, Darren turned angry because his mate was getting framed for someone else's crimes and in no way, he was going to let someone even lay their bad eyes on her and his child, let alone hurting her in any way."By no means, I am going to let something like this happen," he growled and looked at Aereza who seemed extremely worried, confused and tense. He held her hand in his tightly. His touch brought her a sense of safety and security."She has done nothing to anyone, so I will make everyone understand that," he said, which made Rowan sigh."Yes but for that, you need to get in front of your people as soon as possible, Alpha and make them understand everything personally but till

  • Alpha Darren's Cursed Mate   Serenity Of Soul

    "Your love won over my curse…..Aereza," Sirena's voice resonated. The couple looked around themselves but couldn't see her. They could only hear her voice whereas they both could feel her presence around them too."I am giving you back your love's life just because I don't want my love to be a burden over my soul," Sirena's words clenched Aereza's words but she was also feeling more than happy that Sirena finally understood the real meaning of love."I don't want my love to be a curse on your love, Aereza…because I want my love to be a blessing," Both Aereza and Darren heard her every word silently. They both clutched each other's hands tightly."And I am giving you both the blessings of my love by taking back my curse," A smile formed on Aereza's face while tears continued to shimmer in her eyes. They finally won that battle. They finally won it."I am giving you back your love and unborn your child his father," Darren's eyes widened, hearing those words of Sirena. He slowly traile

  • Alpha Darren's Cursed Mate   Blessing Of Love

    "Complete your curse by harming your love or complete your blessing by healing my love, Sirena," Aereza's words left Sirena speechless. Her eyes remained fixed at that silver stone Aereza was holding in her palm. "Ask yourself, are you really feeling that peace which you were needing to feel all these years after tearing my love apart from me and his child?" Aereza stated. Her eyes had started hurting now with the sharpness and vigorous intensity of her tears but her mouth didn't stop because it was hoping that, even that evil inside Sirena would try to understand her love for him because that evil had born inside Sirena only after she lost her own love. "Ask yourself, will you really be able to give your lover's soul that serenity which you were wanting to give him all these years after tearing an unborn child's father away from him?" More tears rolled down from Aereza's eyes whereas Sirena didn't utter a single word in her reply. "Tell me, Sirena, will you ever be able to be happ

  • Alpha Darren's Cursed Mate   Vengeance Or Love

    "Watching him dying in your arms was your only fate,"Silently and with no words, Aereza heard those venomous words coming out from Sirena's mouth. A feral smirk was playing over Sirena's face but Aereza's face got deprived of every kind of emotion or expression. She was looking completely blank and frozen and it was just because of her tears, which were rolling down from her eyes silently, those tears were the only evidence which was stating that she was still alive, that she was not dead yet, but only from outside.Trailing her eyes down towards her arms, she looked at his face. His beautiful ember orbs were hidden from her which used to be the home to her soul. The beat of his heart which used to be her only reason for happiness, that reason had completely faded and numbed. His heart was not beating anymore. Her life had lost its reason to live. Aereza got too traumatised to even use her proper senses. She lost her sanity. Her body lost its each and every kind of sensation. Her mi
