Julian's Point of View

“Why would you want that useless Omega back? Avery is nothing,” I whispered, as if saying it aloud would make it true. “She’s not worthy to be my Luna. Sophia is perfect. She’s strong, noble, and exactly what this pack needs. Not Avery.”

How am I going to apologize to Sophia? I had hurt her. Even if Avery returns back to the pack, it doesn't matter because she isn't strong or worthy to be my Luna, Sophia would still be my Luna.

But, I couldn’t stop thinking about her.

The image of Avery—her perfect body, her vulnerability at the lake, the way she seemed to belong in the world in a way I never could—swirled relentlessly in my mind. My fists clenched at my sides as I paced back and forth in my office, my thoughts a whirlwind of anger, frustration, and desire. I was losing my grip, and I knew I needed something—someone—to break free from the suffocating thoughts of her.

That’s when I decided to go to her.

Sophia’s room was on the other side of the pack house, isola

    Kaiden’s Point of ViewThe rays of sunlight pierced through the curtains like sharp blades, cutting through the dim haze of the room and flooding my vision. I groaned, shifting on the leather couch, and instinctively raised my arm to shield my face from the invasive light. My body felt heavy, as though weighed down by an invisible force. Slowly, I pushed myself upright, blinking against the light. A frown etched itself onto my face as an unsettling sensation washed over me—a feeling so foreign, so wrong, that it made my skin crawl. My head throbbed, and then, like a bolt of lightning, a sharp, splitting pain lanced through my skull. “Argh!” I clutched my temples, gasping as the pain intensified, hot and searing. My breaths came out ragged as my vision blurred, and I could feel Slade, writhing within me. His usually calm and confident presence was now replaced by anguish and confusion. “What’s happening?” I growled through gritted teeth, though no one was there to answer. “Ka

    Caspian’s Point of ViewThe tension in the room was thick enough to cut with a blade, and the silence stretched unbearably. My Alpha—Kaiden—stood with his back to me, his posture rigid, fists clenched at his sides. It wasn’t the first time I’d seen him frustrated, but this? This felt different.I stole a glance at the girl sitting on the edge of his bed. Avery. She was eerily calm, her gaze flitting between Kaiden and me like an uninterested spectator at a dull show. She didn’t look afraid, not even the slightest bit nervous. Her hands were folded neatly in her lap, her head slightly tilted, as if the entire situation were beneath her notice.“Then why doesn’t she feel right?” Kaiden’s voice broke the silence, harsh and biting.I frowned, unsure how to answer. “Alpha, maybe…” I started, but his glare pinned me in place. My words faltered.“You can take her with you. I don’t want to see her when I get back,” he snapped, his voice cold and final.The words hit me like a slap, and for a

    Avery's Point of View Immediately I saw the strange man. I felt as if I'd known him all my life but it was strange as this was my first time seeing him.I knew what this feeling was, I can clearly remember feeling like this when I found out, that Julian was my mate. So, does that mean the strange man was my second chance mate?If that's so, then why can't I feel anything? That was when it dawned on me that I lost contact with my wolf when Julian rejected me, I was just an Omega, the pain was too much for her to handle and it's even surprising that I'm still alive.My body felt heavy, my limbs numb, as though my wolf’s absence had left me hollow. The memory of Julian’s rejection burned like old scars beneath my skin.Well, I guess it was for the better, she doesn't deserve a weak human as me for a companion.The man’s presence filled the room like a thunderstorm waiting to break. His dark eyes locked onto mine briefly, and for a moment, I thought I saw affection but it was gone as qui

    Avery's Point of View “I’ve never worn anything like this before. It doesn’t feel… real,” I admitted, my voice trembling slightly. Laura placed a hand on my shoulder, her expression softening. “You’ve been through a lot,” she said gently. “But you’re here now. And you deserve to feel good about yourself.” I smiled slightly though I was still on guard just incase all of this was a facade and I would know how to defend myself. Laura handed me a stunning white dress, and my breath caught the moment I saw it. The fabric shimmered under the store's soft lighting, a masterpiece adorned with delicate sequins that reflected a rainbow of hues. Tiny diamond-like stones were intricately embedded throughout the design, catching the light with every slight movement. The dress was mid-thigh in length, hugging the body in all the right places while maintaining an air of sophistication. Its most striking feature was the open back—a sweeping curve that added an edge of allure without compromisi

    Avery's Point of View Maya’s smirk faltered for a moment before she regained her composure, but I saw it. A flicker of uncertainty in her eyes. I refused to let her win, not like this. This dress was mine, and no amount of money, power, or arrogance would change that.“What did you say to me?” She asked as she squinted her eyes at me.“I said, I'm not giving the dress to you, it's mine!!” I retorted as I stood up to her, it took me all my will power to confront her. She looked so intimidating, bit I refused to be looked down on, I refuse to remain people's punching bag.“I guess you're new in town, I can have your head brought to me just be a snap of my fingers”, she said with a smirk, but I refused to back down, not this time.“Then go ahead, snap it”, I challenged with a smirk of my own.The smirk on her face faded as she stepped back a bit, “You're going to regret this!!” She screamed then she called out “Get her!! Beat her up, make sure to break her legs!!”I thought it was jus

    Avery's Point of View “You little—!” She lunged at me, her hand raised to strike.“Any hands that touch her shall be cut off.”The room fell into complete silence as everyone turned to the source of the voice.**********Laura turned to Maya, her tone icy. “What is the meaning of this? Is this how you treat someone under my care?”“Miss Laura!” Maya stammered, her voice trembling.Laura ignored her, her gaze locked on me. Her calm expression softened slightly as she stepped closer. “Are you alright?”I nodded, a wave of relief washing over me. “I am now.”“How dare you bully her?”, now it was Maya’s turn to tremble, I never knew that Laura had this much power here and that made me admire her even more.“Beta Laura, she insulted me and I was only doing the right thing by putting her in her place”, Maya responded as she tried holding her ground, though there were still visible traces of fear in her eyes.Laura being the Beta’s mate automatically placed her in a very high and powerful p

    Kaiden’s Point of View“Arghh!!”, I groaned as I punched the wall in my personal training room, not from the pain but the constant thoughts of her that just kept filling my head, I just couldn’t seem to get her off my mind.What’s going on with me?Why can’t I just stop thinking about that girl?These were the constant questions that were always on my mind. “You’re worried about Kaiden”, Slade’s voice suddenly flooded into my mind. “But you wouldn’t just admit it”, he added before remaining silent.“That’s not it Slade, I just don’t know what’s wrong with me”, I replied as I cupped my face. “We were so sure that she was our mate, the scent, everything, when suddenly it all changed. The connection was lost”, I said with a slight huff.If this was another trick by the Moon Goddess, then she really played us well, this one felt so real but she just had to snatch everything from me.“Kaiden?”, Slade called with a slight worry in his voice.“Yes, what is it?”, I asked as I narrowed my eyes

    Kaiden's Point of ViewBut there was nowhere to run. The hall’s doors had been sealed shut, as was tradition during the celebration to ensure privacy. The very walls meant to protect us became their prison.I leaped unto a man near the center of the room. My claws ripped through him like paper. His blood sprayed across the wooden floor, a stark contrast to the golden glow of the lanterns.One by one, I ended them all. The laughter and joy that had filled the room only moments ago were replaced by the stench of blood and the silence of death.And then I turned to my parents.They stood frozen at the head of the hall, their faces pale. My mother clung to my father, her wide eyes brimming with tears. “Kaiden,” she whispered, her voice trembling. “Please… please stop.”For a moment, something inside me hesitated. But the curse would not be denied. A low growl escaped my throat as I crouched, ready to lunge. My claws gleamed in the flickering light, and I could feel the raw power coiling wi

  • Bound To The Cursed Alpha King    116~ I Thought I Killed You

    Avery’s Point Of ViewThe weight of exhaustion pressed down on me, my mind foggy and clouded as I settled into Kaiden's bed. I tried to push the worry from my mind, but the darkness in my heart refused to let me rest. I curled up on his side of the bed, inhaling deeply, hoping to feel some sense of peace in his absence. His scent… earthy, comforting, undeniably him, filled my senses, and for a moment, I allowed myself to be lost in it.But the moment of solace was fleeting. My eyes fluttered shut, and before I knew it, I was drifting away.The world around me twisted, fading, until everything seemed to blur together, and the dark void swallowed me whole. I found myself standing in an open field, the wind biting at my skin. The night sky above was suffocating, filled with dark clouds swirling with angry energy. The air crackled, heavy with tension, as if something… someone, was about to come.My heart pounded in my chest, and my stomach churned with a sense of dread that I couldn’t sh

    Avery’s Point Of ViewThe cool night air brushed against my skin as I stood just outside the house, staring into the dark abyss of the forest. The trees loomed tall and silent, their branches swaying with the wind. I could almost hear them whispering secrets in the night, the rustle of leaves and the occasional distant howl from creatures roaming the shadows. But none of that registered in my mind. My thoughts were a chaotic swirl of uncertainty, fear, and anticipation.Kaiden still hadn’t come back.I’d been waiting for what felt like hours, pacing through the quiet halls of the house, trying to keep myself occupied with anything other than the growing knot in my stomach. He’d said it wouldn’t take long. He promised me it wouldn’t. So why was it taking so long? Why hadn’t he come back yet? What was keeping him?“What's keeping him?” I muttered to myself, barely louder than a whisper, as the weight of my thoughts pressed down on me like an invisible force.I looked up at the moon, its

    Maya’s Point Of ViewThe words hit me like a slap. The mist around us seemed to freeze in place. I just stared at Dal, blinking, my breath hitching in my throat as I tried to make sense of what I had just heard.A ball. Next week. The Alpha revealing his Luna. To the entire Aethoria.My mind reeled, staggering under the weight of it.Wait… Wait, wait, wait.Kaden was back. Kaden, the man I had loved with every breath in my body. The man whose absence had carved a hollowed-out ache inside my chest so deep it sometimes felt like I wouldn’t survive it. The man whose name had been the only thing keeping me tethered to the ground during the darkest nights.And now… Now he was back, and his first act was to announce his Luna? Not just to the pack… no, that would have been bad enough, but to the whole of Aethoria? The entire kingdom?"How?" I whispered hoarsely, almost to myself. "How is that possible?"The air grew heavy, pressing down on me until it felt like I was drowning in it. I swayed

  • Bound To The Cursed Alpha King    113~ Meeting Dal

    Maya’s Point Of ViewThe rain was tapping against my windowpane, a soft, persistent rhythm that filled the heavy silence of my room. The dim light from the bedside lamp cast a muted golden glow across the room, stretching long shadows along the walls. I sat there on the edge of my bed, my arms wrapped tightly around my knees, staring blankly at the floor.I should've been sleeping. I should've at least tried to rest. But Kaiden’s face haunted my mind, those dark, emerald green eyes, the set of his jaw, the way he looked at me like I was the only person in the world that mattered. Damn him. Damn him for getting under my skin, for making me feel this way.I squeezed my eyes shut, willing the memories away, but it was no use. Every breath I took, every beat of my heart seemed to echo his name. A sharp knock shattered the stillness. I flinched violently, my heart leaping into my throat. My head snapped toward the door. I sat frozen for a second, staring at it as if it might burst open at

  • Bound To The Cursed Alpha King    112~ There's No Saving Me

    Kaiden’s Point Of ViewThe silence after Dalton’s humiliation still clung to the air like smoke. I remained standing at the foot of the throne, arms loosely at my sides, gaze sweeping over the Elders seated before me.None dared speak first.Good.I allowed the silence to stretch, to remind them all who commanded this room—not just by title, but by right. When I finally moved, it was with the slow, deliberate grace of a predator who had already decided the outcome of the hunt."Now," I said, voice low, "let us proceed."Lucia, the eldest among them, cleared her throat lightly. "Your Highness," she began cautiously, "regarding the Luna... have you considered the arrangements for her presentation?"A few Elders nodded eagerly, desperate to move away from the tension Dalton had dragged in. Elder Roman spoke next, voice slightly strained. "It is customary, Your Highness, that the Luna be presented with all honor and grandeur befitting her station.""And perhaps," Elder Winona added quickl

    CHAPTER NINETY-TWOKaiden’s Point Of ViewThe weight of the Elders' eyes pressed in like a tide, steady and ancient. Their bows lingered, but as I gave a subtle nod of acknowledgment, they slowly straightened, murmuring among themselves.“Your Highness… truly,” Elder Varo said, his voice a rasp of disbelief and reverence. “After all this time…”“You grace us,” another added, placing a palm against his chest. “The Pack is honored by your presence once more.”I sat atop the throne, shrouded in shadow, one leg crossed over the other, forearms resting lightly on the golden arms of the seat. My presence demanded silence and they gave it, trembling beneath the weight of it.Only once the final syllable of their greeting faded into the air did I speak, voice low but steady, each word dipped in command.“You may rise.”One by one, they shuffled to their designated seats in the stone semicircle, robes billowing behind them like fading shadows. Their movements were precise, dignified but I coul

    Kaiden’s Point Of ViewI stepped onto the main path of the pack and immediately felt the shift in atmosphere.The air buzzed not from power, not even from anticipation, but from the sheer awareness of my presence.Eyes turned. Whispers started.The moment I passed by the warrior training field, every single one of them halted mid-motion. The clang of swords stopped. Feet paused mid-stride. Heads turned. “Your Highness,” a young she-wolf stammered, dropping into a bow. The others followed suit, some in shock, others in stiff, respectful awe.I gave them a short nod, acknowledging their greetings, and continued towards the Pack Hall. But none of them moved until I was already halfway down the path.Even in my absence, the pack was in perfect shape… buildings maintained, patrols running in rhythm, no air of disarray or neglect. I knew who to credit, even if my pride didn’t want to admit it. Caspian.He’d held it down like the true beta he was. Efficient, strict, and downright obsessive a

    Avery’s Point Of View“Time they see that you’re alive.”I stared at him, my breath catching in my throat. “You’re not a secret. You’re not hidden. You’re mine, Avery. And it’s time the whole world sees that.” My fingers trembled in his grasp, and for a long second, I just blinked at him, the words echoing in my ears like a drumbeat.“Kaiden…” I whispered, my voice barely there. “And also,” he added, his voice dropping into something deeper, something almost primal, “it’s time they know you’re my mate. My Luna.”I felt the world pause.My chest tightened, lips parting in a small gasp as the full weight of his words slammed into me.“Your… Luna?” I echoed, wide-eyed. He nodded slowly, his thumb brushing over the back of my hand. “It’s not just about going back. It’s about announcing it. All of it. You. Me. Everything they never expected.”I felt like the wind had been knocked out of me. Not just alive. Not just returned. But standing at his side as his equal. As the Luna of the pack th

    Avery’s Point Of ViewI exhaled slowly, brushing my fingers along his collarbone, feeling the steady thrum of his pulse beneath my touch. His skin was warm, like sunbaked stone, and his body radiated heat even through the sliver of space between us.“I was having a peaceful moment,” I whispered. “And now you’re having me.” He caught my wrist and kissed the inside, slowly. “You were humming. Happy. I like you like this.”“I like me like this.”“I love you like this,” he murmured into my skin. The words hit harder than I expected. I blinked up at him, lips parting. He smiled, soft but wicked. “Don’t go all misty-eyed on me, Snowy.”“I’m not misty-eyed. I’m just…”“Falling for me harder?” he teased, nudging my nose with his. “Already done. You were asking to be kissed.”“Was I?” His voice dropped, dark and dangerous. “You always are.” I laughed and smacked his chest, but it was hopeless. My heart was a mess of fireflies in a jar, wings fluttering with no rhythm, just wild chaos.Something
