"Sign it."
My father's voice echoed through the study, cold enough to make my stomach tighten.
I stared at the parchment lying on the polished desk between us. A thick wax seal held it closed.
"What is it?" I asked quietly.
"The last thing you'll ever receive from me."
My fingers hesitated before breaking the seal. As my eyes scanned the page, my heart nearly stopped.
Marriage Contract!!
The room spun.
"N-No..." I looked up at him, praying this was another cruel way to humiliate me.
"It has to be a joke."
Lord Vael leaned back in his chair, his expression as emotionless as stone.
"Do I look like I'm joking?" I shook my head and slowly pushed the contract back toward him.
"I won't sign it."
The sound of his hand striking my face echoed through the room. My cheek exploded with pain, forcing me to stumble sideways.
I barely caught myself before hitting the floor.
"You don't get to refuse me."
I pressed a trembling hand against my burning cheek.
"I've done everything you've ever asked of me." My voice cracked.
"I stayed out of your way. I never complained, never embarrassed this family."
His eyes narrowed with disgust.
"You've embarrassed this family from the day you were born."
The words settled like knives in my chest as It shouldn't have hurt not after years of hearing them. I had always known I was the unwanted daughter, The cursed child. The girl her Father blamed for Murdering her brother no matter how many years passed...those words never stopped hurting.
"You should have died instead of him," Father said without an ounce of hesitation.
"Edric was worth ten daughters like you."
The familiar guilt wrapped itself around my throat.
I forced the memory away before it swallowed me whole.
Mother let out a mocking laugh from beside the fireplace.
"Look at her," she sneered. "Still pretending she's part of this family." I turned toward her.
"Mother..."
"Don't call me that." Her voice was sharper than Father's slap.
"I only had one child." My breathing became uneven.
"Please..." I whispered. "I'm your daughter."
"No." She folded her arms across her chest.
"You're nothing but a curse that refuses to leave this house." Father picked up the contract again.
"The Rogue Alpha King requested a bride."
"I don't care father!!!"
"You should." His eyes met mine.
"I accepted it for the safety of the pack" My entire body froze.
"...You what?"
"I've traded you." The words hit harder than the slap.
"I am not livestock!" I shouted, years of silence finally breaking. "I'm your daughter!"
Father laughed.
"A daughter?" He stood and slowly walked toward me.
"I've never had a daughter."
Before I could react, his hand wrapped around my throat hard enough to choke me to remind me how powerless I was.
"You've done nothing but drain my wealth, shame my name, and remind me of the son I buried." His grip tightened.
"For years I've wondered if keeping you alive was the biggest mistake of my life." He shoved me backward as I crashed onto the cold marble floor.
"You've always called me cursed," I whispered, struggling to my feet. "You've spent years wishing I was dead." My eyes burned with unshed tears.
"But I'm still here." Father's jaw tightened.
"I'm still breathing."
I lifted my chin, refusing to lower my eyes this time.
"And I'll survive this too." Silence filled the study.
"I'll survive... and one day you'll regret treating me like I was nothing."
Mother burst into laughter as the sound was cruel and Almost amused. She slowly walked toward me, shaking her head.
"Have you suddenly gone deaf?" She smiled mockingly.
"Or are you simply too stupid to understand what you've been told?" I frowned.
"The Rogue Alpha King doesn't take wives." She leaned closer.
"He buries them." A chill crept down my spine as Mother's smile widened.
"Haven't you heard? That Every woman who becomes his mate..." She paused, enjoying the fear spreading across my face.
"...dies." The room fell silent For the first time since walking into the study...Fear found its way into my heart. Father calmly signed the marriage contract.
The scratch of his pen against the parchment sounded like the final nail in my coffin.
"There." He placed the quill down.
"Our deal is complete." A knock interrupted the silence.
"My Lord," a guard called from outside. "The Rogue Alpha King's envoy has arrived." Father didn't even look at me.
"Tell them their bride will be ready."
Bride?
Not a bride but a sacrifice.

BONDED TO THE CURSED ROGUE ALPHA. CHAPTER 36: UNKNOWN.
Draven's POVI had been awake long before she entered my chambers. The moment her scent crossed the threshold, the curse stirred beneath my skin enough to remind me that something was wrong. I kept my eyes closed.I wanted to know what Ashina would do if she believed I couldn't see her.Her footsteps were careful too careful for someone who had simply come to speak with me.She stopped beside the bed as I could feel her watching me as neither of us moved. I heard her breathing change.My fingers tightened against the sheets as I opened my eyes. Ashina froze immediately as the moonlight caught her face and for the first time since she had entered my kingdom, I saw something I had never seen in her before.“Were you really going to do it?” I pushed myself upright as she stepped back.“Answer me.” Her chin lifted as a bitter laugh escaped me.Even after sneaking into my chambers in the middle of the night, she still found the courage to challenge me.“What did you come here for?” I swun
BONDED TO THE CURSED ROGUE ALPHA. CHAPTER 35: Kill him!
Ashina's POVThe guard unlocked the cell door.“My Lady, you said you needed the washroom.” I nodded, keeping my expression neutral.“I do.” He stepped aside but remained close enough that I could hear his boots behind me as I walked down the corridor slowly.Every step carried me farther from the cell, Farther from the guards.When we reached the washroom, I stopped at the doorway.“I can go alone.” The guard hesitated.“Stay here,” I added. “Unless the Alpha ordered you to watch me while I use the washroom too.” His face tightened.“No, my Lady.”“Then wait.” He stepped back as I entered while closing the door for several seconds, I simply stood there as I looked toward the small service door at the back.It led into the servants' passage as my heart began pounding. I had found my way through those passages.I pushed the door open as the emptiness of the passage terrified me. I slipped through and closed it behind me immediately my breathing quickened as I moved through the narrow c
BONDED TO THE CURSED ROGUE ALPHA. CHAPTER 34: The hard truth
Draven's POVEvelyn was still talking when I walked out of the chamber.“My Lord, you cannot keep defending her.” I kept walking.“She awakened something that hasn't been seen in decades. What if the stories are true? What if she is using forbidden magic?” I stopped, she nearly walked into me.“You've said enough.” I turned slowly.“But—” she hesitated. No.” Her mouth closed. I held her gaze for a moment before continuing down the corridor as she followed.“My Lord, if she is connected to the curse, keeping her alive could destroy you. You have already sacrificed too much for this kingdom.” I stopped again.“Did you just tell me what I should sacrifice?” Her face tightened.“No, my Lord.” I walked away. I had heard enough voices telling me what was best for me. My father, the council and every Alpha who thought they understood the throne. I didn't need another one especially not tonight.Ashina had awakened a wolf that should not have existed. I had watched the palace shake around he
BONDED TO THE CURSED ROGUE ALPHA. CHAPTER 33: Beyond
Draven's POVThe words echoed through the room long after the guard whispered them.The last White Wolf has awakened.I stared at Ashina. She was on the floor, one hand pressed against her chest as she tried to steady herself. Her breathing was uneven but her eyes had changed.They were no longer the eyes of the woman who had spent years believing she was wolfless but something strange stared back at me through them.I had heard the stories.The White Wolf was supposed to be extinct. The last one had disappeared decades ago and no wolf had carried that blood since yet Ashina was sitting in front of me with white fur still visible beneath her skin.I looked toward the guards. “Get everyone out.”“Now.” They moved immediately as another guard helped another servant out of the doorway while the others kept their heads lowered. Nobody dared look directly at Ashina.“My Lord!” Then hurried footsteps came from the corridor, Evelyn appeared at the doorway. She stopped the moment she saw Ashin
BONDED TO THE CURSED ROGUE ALPHA. CHAPTER 32: awakening
Ashina's POVI turned the silver brooch over in my palm again. The broken wolf was unmistakable because it had the same symbol from the servant in the ballroom.My thumb traced the damaged edge, which means Someone had been inside my room. I glanced toward the locked window. The brooch was cold against my skin when the door suddenly slammed open as I jerked around.Draven stood in the doorway. He didn't even bother asking whether he could come in as he dashed towards me with Gil speed clearly impatient.“What happened when you went to see your stepsister?” I stared at him as his enormous figure towered above me.“You just barged into my room.” His eyes remained fixed on mine. Expecting answers that I wasn’t going to give him.“What did Ella tell you?” He barked as I lifted my chin. I wasn’t afraid of him.“Nothing.” My voice louder than his as my heat pounded heavily.“Don't lie to me.” He closed the little distance between us as I stepped backward.“What exactly gives you the right t
BONDED TO THE CURSED ROGUE ALPHA. CHAPTER 31: Hidden
Ashina's POVThe carriage door closed behind me. I barely had time to settle before Draven climbed in after me as the carriage began moving but neither of us spoke.I kept my hands folded in my lap, trying not to feel the folded piece of paper hidden beneath the fabric of my dress.Ella's letter. I could still feel its weight against my skin.The words kept repeating in my head as I stared through the window.The palace disappeared behind us, but the conversation refused to leave.“Kill him.““Take the throne.““Avenge Grandfather.“ My stomach twisted as draven sat opposite me.Usually, his silence didn't bother me but Tonight, it did. I could feel his eyes on me.“You're quiet.” I didn't look at him.“I'm tired.”“That isn't why.” My fingers tightened together as He noticed everything and I hated that or perhaps I hated that I was beginning to like being noticed by him.“I said I'm tired.” Draven studied me for another moment as he leaned back.He couldn’t question me again that some
