Chapter 44: Are you afraid of me?

VIKTOR'S POV

Everything had been chaos. Instead of dropping the topic like I asked yesterday, Drake went and got Ravenna to rally behind him. I bet Aeron would’ve joined too, if he wasn’t so caught up with pack security.

I would almost think he was purposely keeping busy since last night—if we weren’t actually dealing with a real threat.

Aeron never joked when it came to duty.

Ravenna, of course, came with her usual tricks. Tears, at first. And when that didn’t work, she switched to blackmail. They wanted me to reconsider a decision I had clung to for nearly ten years.

I couldn’t understand why they were suddenly so desperate for me to find a solution, especially now, when time was nearly up. They had always been obsessed, but not like this.

Maybe with just twenty-nine days left, the weight of it was finally sinking in; becoming too real, too terrifying. And as much as I hated to admit it... I was starting to feel a little scared myself.

But that didn

  • Alpha's Regret: My Cursed Mate    Confession

    Chapter 50: Confession Rhyder's POV I slammed my fist on the table, cursing.How could this be happening?I turned and kicked the table again, sending some of the items crashing to the floor."You've got to calm down and think of something, baby," came Lysandra's soft voice. "There must be a way to stop him.""She's right, Rhyder. We can only figure something out when you're less agitated." Malrik added.Vayne wasn’t here. In fact, I had barely seen him since our last encounter where I threatened to stripped him of the Beta position. This pack might face a major threat soon if this problem wasn't solved, and yet he chose to be somewhere else, still moping over Ariel's disappearance. I felt my blood boil faster with rage."I need a minute. Alone," I said, voice low. My anger was threatening to explode, my fist itching to hit something again.Malrik turned and left immediately."Babe," Lysandra began, stepping closer.But I held out a hand to stop her."I'll call you when I need you,

  • Alpha's Regret: My Cursed Mate    Duty over love

    Chapter 49: Duty over loveVIKTOR’S POVSoraya shifted, a flicker of unease barely visible before it vanished beneath that unfamiliar, practiced calm. It made me wonder what was really going on inside her.“I don’t want to be shipped off to the next available Alpha,” she said. “I think it’s better here.”I resisted the urge to frown. “And what makes you think a rogue is in any way better than a real Alpha?”“Because you’re the first one who doesn’t bother pretending to like me,” she said, her voice steady, though something in the way she said it felt pitiful. “At least with you, the intention is clear. You want me for the alliance. Nothing more. And the records don’t lie. You’ve achieved more than most real Alphas. You built everything you have from nothing.”My gaze sharpened. I hadn’t expected that kind of honesty from her. I knew something was fishy about the way her father insisted on this marriage, but didn't her brother say she wasn't being forced?“You’re aware love won’t exist

  • Alpha's Regret: My Cursed Mate    Heart or life

    Chapter 48: Heart or lifeARIEL'S POV My heart slammed against my ribcage, the air nearly knocked out of me at the sight of the person I bumped into while escaping Viktor.Aeron.His brows were drawn, eyes moving slowly from me to Viktor. I could feel him connecting the dots, but I didn’t wait to find out what he’d do next.I squeezed past, hurrying for my room. Everything replayed in my head like a nightmare I couldn’t shake off.I hadn’t meant to go down this road. Not with a man who was engaged. A man whose fiancée was somewhere in this house. A man I’d just found out was cursed. Not just mysteriously tied to me—but dangerous enough that loving him could kill me.But the moment Viktor kissed me... something inside me dissolved. I can’t explain it. It felt like my brain shut off and something wild took over— an ache that demanded to be fed. I didn’t think I’d survive if I didn’t feed it.I didn’t stop running until I was safe in my room. I collapsed onto the bed.God, I felt like a

  • Alpha's Regret: My Cursed Mate    Fallen

    Chapter 47: FallenVIKTOR'S POV Horror covered Ariel’s face, just like I expected.I didn’t blame her. She had just found out that not only was she somehow connected to a monster, but that the monster wanted her, even when it risked her life. Honestly, she was handling it better than most would.I dragged a hand through my hair, disgusted with myself. I hadn’t even meant to say those words. I didn’t know when they had slipped out.All I wanted was to tell her my plan… that I wanted to get Rhyder to break their bond. I just wanted to save her from the pain I saw tearing her apart yesterday.But the moment I opened my mouth, everything came out wrong. Things I should have kept buried. Things I had no right to feel, let alone say out loud.Since the moment I saw her and Maeron last night—alone in that damn garden, a flower in her hand that he gave her—I’ve been unraveling. Acting reckless. Acting like a goddamn fool.I turned to her, ready to take it all back. To tell her none of it mat

  • Alpha's Regret: My Cursed Mate    I want you

    Chapter 46: I want you ARIEL'S POV I paused, but didn’t turn immediately to face him. He came to stand in front of me.I moved two steps back, maintaining the distance. Not because I was still afraid of him, but because his presence still affected me in ways too much to bear. It made my heart beat too fast, made me feel fluttery sensations beneath my skin. Things I had no right to feel, things that should already be buried. He belonged to someone else—someone who could walk in any moment, I reminded myself.His face fell at my retreat, clearly hurt. But he stepped closer anyway, and I kept backing away until I was stopped by the wall.Viktor placed his hands on my shoulders, his eyes resting gently on me. His gaze was conflicted butll intense enough to make me flinch.I wanted to run, to escape the familiar ache and unease his presence brought. But a deeper part of me wanted to stay and kiss the hell out of him."I know this is all too overwhelming for you," he treaded cautiously,

  • Alpha's Regret: My Cursed Mate    You

    Chapter 45: YoUARIEL’S POVThe walls felt like they were closing in, the ground like it was caving beneath my feet. But I forced myself to stay standing.How could this be real?I wanted to believe I’d misunderstood. That it was just another terrifying dream. A mistake. But he hadn’t denied it.That night… the way that thing had looked at me, the way it paused—like it knew me. Even how he knew that I fell off the swing when no one else was there. My hand came over my mouth, thankful for the warm breath that helped reduce the chills, the tiniest bit. My goodness, I should've known.Images flashed through my mind. That same horror was crawling over my skin, like icy fingers, causing me to shiver all over again.How could the same man I want... be something so terrifying? Something from my nightmares… standing in front of me now? “Are you?” he repeated that question I had no answer for. His voice made me flinch.I forced myself to meet his painful gaze. They weren’t cold. They didn’t h
