"I won’t let anything touch you. Not fate, not death. And if I have to fight the heavens and hell to keep you safe, I will." ***** Ariel Virellis thought life had finally smiled on her when the mate bond tied her to Rhyder, the powerful Alpha of her pack. An omega like her? Blessed. But blessings came with battles. To be worthy of his love and the Luna title, Ariel fought, endured, paid blind eyes to glaring red flags. Then, on the day she believed she had finally earned her place by his side… Rhyder’s long-lost ex returned. And with her, everything Ariel had fought for was taken away. Betrayed and discarded, she vowed to never open her heart to another, Alphas especially. But fate had other plans. Captured by the dangerous Rogue Alpha Viktor — Rhyder’s estranged brother — Ariel’s heart betrays her. Because Viktor’s touch stirs a wildfire, and his broken soul whispers promises no sane woman should believe. Worse? Viktor is cursed. Every woman who dares to love him dies. Could Ariel be his salvation? Or will she end up like the other women... dead? **** This is an unforgettable tale of a love that defies fate, curses, and conquered all.
View MoreChapter 64: Lira clanVIKTOR'S POVWe rode back to the pack house in suffocating silence.This journey, one I had believed would bring a ray of hope, had only exposed the truth—that there was none. The world was determined to punish me from every side, to make sure my sins were never forgotten.I felt like the biggest fool for dragging Ariel into this. For daring to believe I could ever have a fairytale ending. That I could escape.Her quickening heartbeat, pale face, and sunken eyes told me she was beginning to realize her mistake—that she should never have let me this close.I couldn’t look at her. I couldn’t bear to see that heartbreak and hopelessness in her eyes. My chest ached as though my heart was being crushed inside it. I had never felt so maddeningly afraid of losing someone.I almost strangled the witch when she dared to utter those words. Lucky for her, she had her useless magic to shield her.The woman I love had just…I swallowed the word, afraid that saying it—even thi
Chapter 63: Exactly what?ARIEL'S POV I was caught off guard by the technology, especially for a place tucked away in such a secluded part of the world.Viktor and I exchanged a brief look before our eyes drifted to the single building dominating the wide compound. Lawns spread out like green carpet, dotted with flowers and ornamental plants, every detail immaculate.Ravenna showed no sign of surprise, which only made me wonder more about how she had found this place.When we reached the front steps, a young woman—early twenties, brown hair and matching eyes—appeared to greet us. Without a word, she led us inside.Every hallway we passed spoke volume of quiet luxury, far more than I’d ever expect from a witch. Candles flickered in midair, their flames dancing in ways that seemed impossible without magic. The sight made me think of Ravenna's apartment.'I thought the impeccable taste was just your thing,' I teased her through the mind link.Truth was, I’d expected something far more…
Chapter 62: Visiting the witchARIEL'S POV I gasped, making Viktor eye me with sudden worry. "What happened?" His voice was already thick with panic.The ache eased, leaving a faint, unsettling weakness that added to the previous one. I quickly masked my fear under a soft smile. "I just didn’t expect you to say that."His suspicion didn’t fade completely, but the tension in his shoulders eased."I didn’t expect your words either," he drawled. "I’m truly honored."He brushed my lips with a peck, then drew me closer, his arms locking around me like I was something he’d never let go of. "Please don’t lie to me about anything you feel," he demanded, stroking my hair. My heart skipped. "Let me bear it all with you, until we find a solution."A tear slid down my cheek before I could stop it.When we finally pulled apart, Viktor’s claws were out—likely for the initiation. Despite the mess of emotions tangling inside me, a smile curved my lips."Are you ready?"I nodded. His gaze dropped
Chapter 61: Yearning of soulsARIEL'S POVMy heart jumped so high I feared it would get stuck in my throat.In all the things I ever expected to hear, those three magical words didn’t make the top one thousand.How could they, when the man who was even my mate had never once uttered them to me?I blinked, then blinked again.It was real. Viktor was still staring at me with those eyes that told me he meant every word.I opened my mouth but nothing came out. I closed it again, my heart so full that I felt the weight.Viktor looked down, and I feared he mistook my silence.“I’m… I’m sorry,” he murmured, regret softening his voice. “I don’t know what I was thinking.”I frowned, a strange pang tugging at me. “You didn’t mean to say that, did you?” Maybe it had just slipped out in the rush of the moment.“Not like this,” he said, dragging a hand through his hair. “Not here. You deserve so much more. Somewhere romantic. Somewhere that could at least try to match your beauty… though I doubt t
Chapter 60: Only for youARIEL'S POV I gasped, my heart giving a sharp thud. Seeing him kneel so simply sent a strange sense of power rushing through me."It feels so unfamiliar to see you kneel like that," I whispered, threading my fingers through the softness of his hair. Maybe it was because he was on the bare floor. "You're my Alpha.""Then you don’t understand how helpless you make this Alpha," he murmured, his lips brushing my skin in featherlight kisses down my legs, trailing to my toes and back again. I squirmed the entire way, torn between grabbing his hair or clawing at the wall.He suddenly met my gaze, and my heart nearly stopped. "I would lie and have you walk all over me if it makes you smile, Daisy," he said, voice thick with emotions I found no word to describe. "Only for you."Before I could even react to his insane words, Viktor hooked my right leg over his shoulder and claimed my folds with such ravenous hunger that my eyes rolled back so hard I was half-surprised
Chapter 59: So addicting ARIEL'S POVSoraya smiled, but it looked forced, as though she were holding something back. "It was obvious he didn’t like me. His interest, if I may say, was in you." She chuckled softly, shaking her head.My heart thumped hard. She knew?"I don’t think you’re right about that," I said quickly, forcing my own nervous laugh. "I… I was just Viktor’s maid.""A maid living alone on his floor? Come on, I’m not that dumb," she said, relaxing into her seat and crossing her legs.I had no words. I quickly looked down, my cheeks flushed with embarrassment. "I’m sorry," I mumbled, feeling stupid. "It was never my intention to ruin anything.""You don't need to be. Like I said, I’m free now. But I only told you and Ravenna. Please don’t mention it to anyone else."We both turned our heads at the sound of footsteps. Aeron was walking toward us. My heart skipped. But I noticed Soraya’s face tense before she stood up quickly."I’ll be inside," she said, hurrying off.I f
