~ EVELISE’S POV:

The morning after his “release”, I watched him from the balcony with Inara.

“How are you feeling, Luna?” She asked brightly.

“Good. Thank you.”

Everyone returned to their places as if the previous night had been nothing more than an unfortunate interruption.

Guards bowed. Servants moved aside. Warriors lowered their heads.

“Good Morning, Alpha. Here.”

Mateo approached with a stack of reports.

And no one—not even me—asked the question that had been haunting my mind since I woke

  • BOUND TO THE CURSED ALPHA   100: Advices

    The next morning, I watched him, resting my chin in my hand as Zarius buttoned the cuffs of his shirt. He moved with the effortless grace of a predator, entirely nonchalant, while I couldn't wipe the lingering amusement off my face. “Are you still going to ignore me, Alpha?” I teased, tilting my head.Zarius adjusted his collar in the mirror before finally meeting my eyes. “I don’t think I can. Not anymore.” I smirked victoriously to hear that.But then he paused, a seriousness coming to his eyes.“The world outside is far more dangerous than my curse.”My amusement vanished instantly, replaced by a sudden, sharp prick of doubt.“Is that it?”He turned slightly, his brows drawing together. “Hmm?”“Is it only about danger?” My mind raced, the unspoken questions bubbling up until I couldn't keep them swallowed down anymore. Weren’t you jealous when he was taking me away? Did your heart burn? Was it beyond… protection?“What could be above your protection?” He whispered, searchin

  • BOUND TO THE CURSED ALPHA   99: Heartfelt

    After the most entertaining dinner I had since I arrived here, we were returning to our rooms.But, that certainly did not stop the lingering gazes. They were whispering, staring, as if the sight was something that should go down in the pages of history.Covering my mouth with my hand, I giggled.“Don’t.” He hissed, glaring at me but I couldn’t help it.We entered our room. Zarius let out a long breath, resting his forehead against the wood. “Oh,” he muttered. “I am never doing that again.”I leaned back against the wall, a slow smile spreading across my face as my eyes dragged over him.The broad shoulders, the unbuttoned collar of his shirt, the dark hair slightly disheveled. The exhaustion did not make him less desirable.He looked infuriatingly handsome.“Oh, come now, Alpha,” I hummed temptingly, standing behind him. “Who knew you were such a poet?”Zarius turned around, frowning at me. “You’re enjoying this.”“Immense enjoyment,” I admitted, stepping closer. I reached out, my

  • BOUND TO THE CURSED ALPHA   98: Awkward Dinner

    ~ EVELISE’S POV:We continued to have dinner, normally.The suffocating air that had plagued the manor for weeks was finally gone, replaced by the hum of people actually eating together.I reached for my glass, keeping a sideways glance at Zarius. “You don’t have to look at me like that.” I murmured.He sat beside me, looking entirely unbothered, though I could feel the gravity of his gaze tracing my face.“I want to.” Slowly, a small plate slid toward me.I blinked down at it. A slice of pastry. His favorite. The exact dessert he had confessed about out by the cliff.“What’s this? Hmm?”A triumphant smirk tugged at my lips. I turned to him, my voice turning into a teasing purr.“Trying to bribe me into forgetting you still haven't apologized for calling me a loose woman in front of the pack?”Zarius froze.The fork he was holding hovered halfway to his mouth. He blinked, slowly turning his head to look at me, his eyes narrowing in a silent warning.Drop it, his look said.I didn

  • BOUND TO THE CURSED ALPHA   97: Breakdown

    ~ ZARIUS'S POV:When Evelise slapped me, I could only stand still in my place, head snapped to the side. I stared at the ground, accepting the sting.I believe I deserved it. For almost abandoning the woman I had massacred lands for.“You stone-cold bastard!” Growling, she grabbed my collar, forcing me down to be on her level.“How could you even think like that?”“I wasn’t thinking.” I confessed, placing my hands over hers, accepting her rage wholeheartedly.“That is why I behaved like an asshole with you and turned you away. If my mind was working, I would have never done it…” My voice went lower, far more desperate, mixing my breaths with hers.“Why don’t you get it, Zarius?” Her bottom lip quivered. “You don’t have to carry the weight of this world alone.”I replied breathlessly. “That is what I had always done.”“But, I am here now. You can lean on me.”“I don’t know how to.”“You only have to trust me and let out your feelings.” “You leave me the second you were given a chance

  • BOUND TO THE CURSED ALPHA   96: Midnight

    ~ EVELISE’S POV:I was leaning against the kitchen counter, replaying how impossibly sexy Zarius had looked down there.All locked up in iron chains, chest exposed, his dark hair scattered, and that dangerous, feral growl vibrating right through my core. Even restrained and furious, he was a masterpiece of untamed power.Oh, if he stopped pushing me away for once, I would devour him—Wait what? What the hell am I thinking?!‘I mean, what is wrong in wanting our mate, Evelise?’ Lunaria purred, also swaying along with me.“You don’t talk to me. I am still angry with you.” Hissing, I quickly unlinked but as I closed my legs tightly, I thought about Zarius.How would it feel if ‘he’ took me?Not Robbie.Not the curse.Zarius. My Zarius.My mate. My man. Mine…. All mine.Oh, how—My daydream was cut short when the door banged open. Mateo strode in, looking completely bewildered and pissed off. “Alright. What did you do to the Alpha this time?” Mateo demanded, crossing his arms. “Why do y

  • BOUND TO THE CURSED ALPHA   95: Try?

    ~ ZARIUS’ POV:My mind was willing to focus entirely on the work and discard every other useless distraction, yet I was unwillingly thinking about Evelise’ words.They were seriously a headache. I leaned against the stone archway, watching Mateo inspect the weapons rack.Every motion was precise, practiced, and devoid of warmth. He moved with a cold efficiency that I had taught him myself. But today, the silence between us felt heavier than usual.“Must you always be a stone-cold bastard?”Evelise’s words echoed in my mind. She had urged me to try softness. To stop pushing people away.Maybe? Should I? What would that bring me? Why make useless efforts?Nonetheless, with a sigh, I cleared my throat, stepping into the armory. “Mateo.”Mateo didn't look up, his fingers carefully running down the edge of a steel broadsword. “Alpha.” He acknowledged with a nod. “The blades are well-kept.” I mentioned.“I know.” He gave an obvious look. “It’s my job.”“Right.” I shifted my weight, un
