Chapter 7: The rules

VIKTOR’S POV

I sat on the porch, watching the smoke curl from my cigar, bored out of my mind as I waited for the new girl who arrived at my pack today.

Ariel Virellis.

After my Beta took her to Ravenna, I ran a quick background check to confirm her story about being from Moonshade, my old pack.

She hadn’t been lying.

My grip tightened around the glass in my hand as memories I had buried deep began to crawl back. I shoved them aside, letting only one remain.

Anya—my halfsister.

“Please don’t go,” little Anya had clung to my jeans, crying as I stuffed a few clothes into a bag. The elders had given me one hour to leave or face a harsher sentence. Death.

I crouched down to her level. “I can’t stay, Anya. But one day, I’ll come back for you. I promise,” I whispered, fighting my tears. If only her little mind could understand the evil I was, like everyone else. I wanted to get away quickly before I tainted her.

  • Alpha's Regret: My Cursed Mate    Dead meat

    Chapter 9: Dead meatARIEL'S POV My heart pounded as I pounced on the black wolf that suddenly appeared in my path, just minutes after I’d slipped out of the pack house.It dodged my attack by a hair’s breadth, but my claws still slashed across its face. It was huge. Fierce. Its red eyes burned like they were carved straight from hell.It snarled, furious.I lowered myself into position, ready to strike again. But then it shifted.Right there, before my eyes.My breath hitched.Alpha Viktor.In. All. His. Naked. Glory.He was... endowed. But I didn’t have the luxury to appreciate the artwork.He knew. He caught me.Oh Moon Goddess—I’m dead meat.I immediately bowed my head in shame and defeat, unable to hold his deathly glare. Or ignore what his naked body was doing to my poor, rattled mind.Blood still smeared the side of his face where I scratched him, but it was already healing. Guilt twisted in my gut. Dread curled around my chest. I waited for him to speak, to declare my punish

  • Alpha's Regret: My Cursed Mate    Freedom or doom

    Chapter 8: Freedom... Or doomARIEL'S POVI lay curled in bed like a fox, except my head stayed straight, pretending to be asleep.My mind was chaos.I had just returned from seeing the Alpha, and now I was more confused than ever. One minute, he was questioning me with those cold, emotionless eyes and a voice that made me tremble. The next, he was handing me a handkerchief to wipe my tears. He was mysterious. Unpredictable.I hadn’t meant to cry. Tears were weakness, and I’ve always hated being weak. But the moment he asked why I left Moonshade, everything I had bottled up came rushing back. I couldn’t stop it.I’d thought his summon was to throw me into the dungeon. But I was wrong. I should’ve felt relieved. I didn’t. What if he had something worse coming. Maybe once I gave him the information he wanted? Which I didn't even have any idea what.He was the dangerous rogue Alpha, one with a witch who obeyed his every command. I hadn’t seen the slaves, but I knew what happened to his e

  • Alpha's Regret: My Cursed Mate    New pack

    Chapter 6: New packARIEL'S POV Nyra: 'Wake up, Ari. Wake up.'I stirred, every inch of my body aching.'Where are we?' I asked, trying to push through the fog and the sharp pain around my stomach.'I don’t know, but there’s a sexy, hot raven-haired man sitting on an iron throne,' Nyra replied.Sexy. Hot. Throne.'Should you really be checking out looks right now?''You asked. That’s the best description I could give,' she mumbled, retreating into a quiet whimper.“Alpha, we found this wolf crossing the pack border unauthorized,” a deep, gruff voice filtered into my ears.Everything rushed back in a violent wave. My heart slammed against my ribs.Had I been caught by rogues? Or worse… by another ruthless Alpha?I stayed still, pretending to still be unconscious, listening."Who are you, and what brought you to my land, Goldie?"The voice was low and calm, but with an edge sharp enough to draw blood. A shiver ran through me.Goldie? Was he talking to me?Still, I didn’t move."I know

  • Alpha's Regret: My Cursed Mate    Arch enemy

    Chapter 5: Arch enemy ARIEL'S POVI stayed in the forest until night fell. My eyes ached, and so did the rest of my body. Nyra kept whimpering in my head, even after I’d run out of tears and just sat there quietly beside a tree trunk.Nyra: “I’m still hurting so much, but I think we need to go back to the pack now. If we stay here, rogues might find us... and that could be worse,” she whispered, afraid.“No. I can’t stand seeing Alpha Rhyder after what he did. I can’t bear to look at that witch, Lysandra.”Nyra: “I don’t want to see him either, Ari… but we have no choice. I don’t have the strength to fight rogues, not after all we've been through today.”Just then, I heard footsteps. My heart slammed against my ribs as I stood and pressed my back against the tree. I’d had some training—enough to fight if I had to—but rogues moved in packs. They’d overpower me before I even had the chance to defend myself.The footsteps grew louder, closer. It sounded like only two of them. A flicker

    Chapter 4: My mateARIEL'S POV"But it's okay for the Alpha to ignore his mate?"A low growl rumbled from his chest. Nyra trembled in fear, but I didn’t. I was done backing down."I don’t know what’s gotten into you lately, but I don’t like it," he said, face tight."The only thing that’s gotten into me is you, Alpha." My eyes stung as the words left my mouth. "You’ve been treating me like I’m the problem. Every time I try discuss it, you make me feel like I’m overreacting. Is it also my fault you were massaging your ex-lover?""Ex-lover?" he repeated, and my heart slammed in my chest. What was that supposed to mean?"Yes, your ex-lover," I repeated shakily. "You crashed my party for her. You gave her a body massage in my absence. How am I supposed to feel about that?"He didn’t respond, so I kept going."Have you even thought about why she suddenly showed up here? Where she’s been all this time? She could be a spy."His gaze darkened."She’s not a spy, Ariel. And if it makes you feel
