Kaiden's Point of View

But 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

    Kaiden’s Point of View“Slade,” I murmured, my voice barely audible even to myself. “If I can’t end this curse…” I swallowed hard, the weight of the words nearly crushing me. “…then I think it’s better I die.”And with that, I stepped out of the room, leaving behind the echoes of the past and the burden of my unspoken fears.I headed straight to my room, my steps heavy as if the weight of the world pressed down on my shoulders. The grand oak doors creaked slightly as I pushed them open, revealing the familiar sanctuary that was my private space. The room was vast yet inviting, with tall windows draped in thick, dark curtains that barely let in the moonlight.A massive bed with neatly arranged silver-gray sheets dominated the center, its frame carved with intricate patterns of wolves and crescent moons.Despite the elegance and comfort, the room felt cold, a reflection of the emptiness I carried within.I sat on the edge of the bed, my elbows resting on my knees as I cradled my aching h

  • Bound To The Cursed Alpha King    24~ Kill. Destroy. Blood

    Kaiden's Point of View Finally, three months have elapsed and the time has come. I had already left the pack premises 30 minutes ago and was on my way to the silver abyss. That was the only place that came to mind.It was very far from the pack, and void from people except rogues and spirits. So, even if a few rogues have to die tonight, then that’s great. It's better than having to kill innocent people.The wind tore at my face as I sprinted through the forest, the trees blurring past me in dark streaks. My lungs burned with each breath, but I couldn’t stop—not now. The Silver Abyss was still far, and the curse was clawing its way to the surface faster than I’d anticipated.My muscles screamed in protest, but I forced them to keep moving. The pack was behind me, far enough for now, but if I didn’t make it to the abyss in time, the distance wouldn’t matter.The first wave of heat hit me hard, like someone had poured boiling water into my veins. I stumbled, catching myself on a tree t

    Narrator’s Point of ViewFAR AWAY IN THE CELESTIAL REALMThe celestial hall shimmered under the endless glow of ethereal starlight. The floor was a polished mirror reflecting the heavens, and the air carried a weight of divine authority. Five thrones were arranged in a semicircle, each belonging to a deity, their presence radiant and commanding.Selene, the Moon Goddess, sat at the center, her silver hair cascading down her back like a river of light. Her gaze was steady, but her luminous eyes carried the burden of sorrow. Beside her, Venus, the Goddess of Love, exuded an aura of soft warmth, though her expression was edged with concern. To the left, Hera, the Queen of the Gods, radiated power and authority, her piercing gaze fixed on Selene. Opposite them, two gods—Ares, the God of War, and Apollo, the God of the Sun—sat in contemplative silence, their expressions unreadable.The silence was broken by Hera, her voice sharp as a blade. "His curse grows stronger day by day, Luna," she

    Kaiden’s Point of ViewThe silver abyss stretched endlessly before me, the cold metallic light painting everything in haunting shades of gray. My claws dripped with fresh blood, the coppery stench of death clinging to the air as bodies of rogues littered the ground around me. Their snarls and shrieks had faded into silence, replaced by the relentless mantra hammering in my mind.Kill.Destroy.Blood.The words echoed like a sinister drumbeat, their rhythm intoxicating and inescapable. Every time I thought I’d regained control, the curse surged forward, filling my veins with a dark energy that craved more. More blood. More destruction.A rogue leapt at me from the shadows, its fangs bared, but I barely registered the movement. My body acted on instinct, claws slashing through its throat in one swift, brutal motion. Warm blood splattered across my chest, and instead of revulsion, a twisted satisfaction settled in the pit of my stomach.With every drop of blood spilled, the curse grew st

Not ever.I sighed then get up from bed, then I remembered the weird phenomenom that occcured in here this midnight, then I glanced at the widows, but they were shut tight. So where did all that wind come from? I wondered.But I shrugged as I walked to my personal training room to practise, before moving to the throne room to have a discussion with Caspain, my Beta and Dalton, my Gamma.Immediately, I entered the grand hall, the weight of my crown barely registering. My steps echoed ominously against the polished stone floor, the sound reverberating in the thick silence. The court was unnervingly still, save for Dalton and Caspian standing stiffly in the center of the chamber. Every gaze was fixed on me as I ascended to my throne, the carved obsidian chair towering over the room as a symbol of my dominion.Seating myself, I reste

    Julian’s Point of ViewAfter racing around in the woods, I shifted back and took my bath. After attending to the pack duties, I went to the study to finally have a breather from my stressful routine when Sophia barged into the room with a solemn look on her face. I sighed as I rubbed my temples. What was it again? I closed the files on the table with a thud, looking up to find Sophia standing by the door, her arms crossed, bottom lip jutted out in a pout that screamed pay attention to me. I didn’t even attempt to hide my disinterest. “What is it now, Sophia?” I muttered. Instead of answering, she whined—a long, dramatic sound that made me wince—and marched toward me with the confidence of someone who wouldn’t take no for an answer. Without hesitation, she sat herself right on my lap, making herself comfortable as if the throne belonged to her. “Julian,” she cooed softly, dragging out my name in a sing-song tone. I tensed but kept my expression neutral. “Get off, Sophia.” Sh

    Julian's Point of ViewThe Alpha of the Moonwalker pack has been waging war on the Luperci Pack, but I can’t risk my head for a war I know nothing about. Just then, Jace handed a file over to me.“Their Alpha asked me to give this to you. It’s an alliance letter. It’s of no need since we’re rejecting their offer,” Jace said firmly, placing a thick folder on my desk. “I just had to give it to you because you’re the Alpha, and the final decision lies with you. But I trust you’ll make a wise one.”His voice carried a note of caution, but I barely glanced at him as I flipped open the file lazily, fingers drumming against the polished surface of the table. I wasn’t interested in more empty promises or frivolous offers of alliances. My focus was sharper than ever—power. That’s all that mattered. My pack. My goals.I skimmed through the pages half-heartedly, a bored expression plastered across my face. Proposals, terms, agreements—all predictable, unappealing, and not worth my time. Just as

    Julian’s Point of ViewThe first light of dawn painted the sky in hues of gold and crimson as I stood in front of my warriors, the cold morning air doing little to temper the heat of my resolve. The rhythmic thud of their boots against the ground echoed in the quiet of the early hours, each step deliberate, each step a promise of victory.We moved with precision, like a well-oiled machine, heading straight for the borders of the Luperci Pack’s territory. My eyes scanned the horizon, sharp and unrelenting, my mind replaying the details of Alpha Lucio’s letter. The alliance was sealed, but now it was time to see if his warriors were as capable as he claimed.When we reached the agreed meeting point, I spotted him—Alpha Lucio, a towering figure clad in silver armor that gleamed under the rising sun. His warriors stood behind him, their faces etched with the weariness of battle, but their spirits unbroken.“Alpha Julian,” Lucio greeted with a curt nod, his voice gruff but respectful.“Alp

    Kaiden’s Point Of ViewThe color drained from her face. Her lips parted, a soft whimper escaping as the full weight of her mistake slammed into her. "N-No…" she whispered, stepping back. I stalked toward her, slow, deliberate, every step like a drumbeat of doom."You touched her," I said, my voice low and deathly calm. "You dared to touch what belongs to me.""She betrayed us!" Maya cried, her voice shrill and broken, desperate now. "She betrayed you!""No," I said simply, as if I were correcting a child's math homework. "You betrayed me." The room felt like it was shrinking around her. Her back hit the wall, and she pressed herself against it, as if she could disappear into the stone.Her eyes darted toward the door, calculating, desperate for escape. "Kaiden, p-please," she stammered, her tears falling freely now. "I-I only did what I thought was right! I did it for you!"I loomed over her, my body blocking out the light, casting her in shadow. "For me?" I echoed, almost amused. "Yo

    Kaiden’s Point Of ViewThe night was heavy with silence, broken only by the occasional whisper of the wind against the stone walls of the fortress. I stood by the massive arched window of my chambers, staring out at the endless stretch of wilderness beyond. The moon was high and full, casting a silver glow across the jagged landscape, but even its light couldn’t reach the darkness pooling in my chest.Avery.Her name was a prayer on my lips, a ghost in my mind. I could almost see her now — curled up in my bed, clutching my pillow, maybe huffing out a frustrated sigh because I hadn’t returned yet. The thought of her missing me, of her arms open and waiting for me when I returned, wrapped around my heart like a comforting flame. I smiled to myself, a soft, fleeting thing that barely brushed my lips.A sharp knock at the door shattered the fragile moment.I didn’t move. I already knew who it was… the guards. Their presence was as loud as a war drum even when they tried to be discreet. Wi

    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

  • Bound To The Cursed Alpha King    115~ What's Keeping Him?

    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

    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
