Alpha King's Cursed Love

Amarantha's POVThe howling soon became louder when I and the three black wolves crossed an unfamiliar stone bridge. It was half-wrecked, tainted by mortar rusts and carbon mixtures.It was the road to hell in a literal meaning. My vigilant eyes started to shift from side to side. I couldn't help but puke. On my knees, I chucked up all of what remained in my stomach. I must be so dizzy from the long travel. These werewolves didn't even use their agility in taking me here faster instead, they let me suffer a long death march.I heard the wolves growl in anger and impatience behind me. I hadn't even wiped my mouth when one of them dragged me back until I'm forced to walk again. Both of my feet were chained up as well as my hands. I walked with heaviness. My head started to feel the stirring. Everywhere I turned my head the objects in front of me started to get blurry, and the earth felt like spinning around me. I would seldom tumble. The sound of the wolves howling unearthly cries was al

Amarantha’s POVThis creature in front of me was the epitome of fear. All of the humans were frightened of him. This huge kind of a man was none other than the Alpha King himself.I have never heard of his name before. This day had been terribly too fast and I wasn't able to know his name yet. Suddenly, I felt the urge to know it. But I couldn't ask him. I felt bashful suddenly.My emotions felt like they were playing with me. And I've grown to hate that fact.This Alpha King... I should be hating him to the core. He was the reason for all of the disasters in my country. Ever since humans had fallen under the food chain, we became outcasts; slaves of our own planet. But paradoxically, my knees hated the fact that they quiver at his presence and yet felt so longing for his touch. I was having this weird notion inside of me that I shouldn't be feeling. Something inside me screamed haywire yearning to be touched.Never did I have this kind of thought since my existence in this world. But

Amarantha’s POVI was trying to wrack my brain in finding out one significant memory that could make me trace a moment in my life when someone had protected me from anyone who tried to harm me.I tried looking back at my childhood memories.Was it my parents? My friends perhaps?Yes, they did. They were protective of me before. But those memories were slowly fading like faceless people who only occupy my dreams at night.It felt like they never existed before. It felt like they were fantasies that I built on my own.Due to the war, those little cherished memories of mine were slowly fading and were replaced by fear day by day. That fear turned into restlessness, hopelessness, and ignorance of my youth. I began to strain the records of my past until I couldn't hold one.That was when I saw that same moment today. It was when my hater began to protect me. My mortal enemy, the Alpha King.It was a nice morning to wake up, actually. It was my first time waking up on a soft bed with pillows

Amarantha's POV"I need you..."Those words were very rare to people like me. It is rare to a point that I didn't even remember the first time I ever heard of that phrase.I was totally dumbfounded. This Alpha King whom I hated the most ever since this war broke out turned out to be someone who needed me. I was now considered his lifeline.No one has ever thought of me as their last straw of hope. I never once thought that I'm capable of having a life purpose. I only thought that surviving was the most important; surviving and defeating the werewolves. Then, after that, I didn't know what exactly I needed. I just wanted to get a normal life that was taken away from me. But that sense of purpose hadn't even sparked in my life. It felt like I was just striving hard to do something that I don't have a purpose for. And yet here I am being dragged into this mess that quite shook me into realizing that this was it.This was what my purpose was. To be by his side. To be his safeguard, his saf

Amarantha's POVThe expedition started. I was asked to ride a horse on my own but I quickly said no. I've never ridden a horse before. It was something that I was supposed to learn before the war began but that was quickly taken away from me.Now that they're asking me this, all of their faces grimaced. Some of them started to ride away their horses after rolling their eyes at me.I shrugged. "Sorry, I just don't know how to..." I sincerely told Iram.He sighed exasperatedly and thought for a second. After that, I saw him nod at me and offered his arm outstretched to me. "Here. I'll lift you..."I accepted his hand and he pulled me up until I was seated before him. I gasped loudly; my eyes felt like they were about to bail out of my skull. The moment I was sitting there next to him felt like I was energized. His scent drove me again into a frenzy."Hold still. I won't pick you up if you fall..." he whispered to my ear.But because of the goosebumps, I wasn't able to react fast. When he
