Avery’s Point of View

I stepped out of the living room, heading toward the stables, I took a sharp turn and passed two girls discussing, I planned to ignore them but paused when I heard a familiar word, ‘Krypta Clan’.

"Did you hear what happened to the Moonwalker Pack? And the Krypta Clan?" one of them whispered, her voice tinged with awe and fear.

"Of course I did," the other replied "The Alpha King wiped them out…. well, almost. They say he’s furious and won’t stop until they’ve paid in double for their treason."

I frowned, staying where I was, my interest growing despite myself. A part of me wanted to ignore it, those people had never spared a shred of kindness for me. Yet, the thought of their suffering stirred something complicated in my chest.

The first girl leaned closer and said. "I heard they’ve lost hundreds already; warriors, elders, even some of the children. It’s… awful."

The second girl nodded in response. "My grandfather said it’s only the beginning. The King’s orders a

  • Bound To The Cursed Alpha King    35~ What Was Wrong With Me?

    Kaiden’s Point of View“As of today, we are cutting off our alliance with these two packs; The Moonwalker Pack and The Krypta Clan.” I paused so that the people in the room could take in the news.The elders turned to each other as they started whispering, having had enough, I raised my hands and spoke with an icy tone, “If you have opinions or dissatisfactions, I would prefer for you to say them rather than for you to whisper within yourselves, knowing fully well that I can hear every single word you say”I let my gaze sweep across the room, catching the faint unease in their eyes. I’d just finished speaking when an elder on the far side of the table rose to his feet. His movements were slow and deliberate, and his expression carried a cautious determination. I knew where this was going even before he opened his mouth.“Your Highness,” he began, his tone deferential but firm. “If I may… it wouldn’t be wise to completely cut off the Krypta Clan and the Moonwalker Pack. While their cri

  • Bound To The Cursed Alpha King    36~ Get Your Hands Off Her

    Kaiden's Point of ViewAn hour later, I finally slowed down, breathing hard as I came to a stop. My chest heaved as I looked around, confused.My frown deepened. I was supposed to be racing through the woods, yet somehow, I had ended up here, on the other side of the pack. My Beta, Caspian, lived in this area. It would be strange for me to show up unannounced, especially when there wasn’t any business that required my presence. I sighed, shaking my head, and turned to leave.But then I saw her.Snowy.The sight of her froze me in place. She was standing by a shed, her starlight-white hair glinting in the afternoon sunlight. Her pale skin seemed to glow, and her violet eyes sparkled with joy. She looked even more stunning than the last time I saw her. There was an effortless grace in the way she moved, her aura captivating as she hummed softly to herself.I watched her take a few steps, but just as she neared the shed, her foot caught on something, and she stumbled. Without thinking, I

  • Bound To The Cursed Alpha King    37~ You Don't Own Me

    Kaiden’s Point of ViewI grabbed the man’s arm in an iron grip, my voice low and laced with venom. “Get your hands off her.”Both of them froze. The man blinked, clearly startled by my sudden appearance. Snowy’s violet eyes widened, her mouth slightly open as if she couldn’t quite believe what she was seeing.“Alpha Kaiden,” the man stammered, his tone a mix of surprise and fear. “I didn’t….”“Did I stutter?” I growled, my voice cutting through the air like a blade. My gaze bore into his, daring him to challenge me. “Put. Her. Down.”Snowy, still in his arms, quickly placed a hand on his chest. “It’s okay, Derrick,” she said softly, her voice calm yet confused. “You can let me down.”Derrick hesitated, his gaze darting between Snowy and me, before he finally complied, gently setting her on her feet. She adjusted her dress, her expression a mix of concern and bewilderment as she looked at me.“What are you doing here, Alpha?” she asked, her tone carefully neutral but laced with curiosi

  • Bound To The Cursed Alpha King    38~ The Yearly Occassion

    Avery’s Point of ViewI walked into the house, barely acknowledging anyone, as what happened earlier today with the Alpha flashed through my mind. ‘Why’s he behaving as if we are mates?’ I thought as I walked further into the house. I thought one only gets a mate once in a lifetime. I was still in my oceans of thoughts when Laura snapped her fingers in my face, “A penny for your thought”, she said with a smile. I scratched my head in embarrassment as my cheeks took on a slight shade of red.“Erm… It’s nothing serious, I was just…..”, I paused as I took in my surroundings, how come i was just noticing this?“What’s the occasion?”, I asked, quickly changing the topic.“Tonight is the yearly celebration held in the pack,” Laura said, her face lighting up with enthusiasm. “It’s one of the biggest events we have, and everyone looks forward to it. There’s music, dancing, and lots of food. It’s the perfect time for everyone to unwind.”I nodded slowly, unsure why she seemed so excited about

  • Bound To The Cursed Alpha King    39~ Your Embarrassment Is Your Own Doing

    Avery’s Point of ViewAs I raised my head, my cheek still stinging from the slap, my gaze locked onto her Maya, the same nuisance from the boutique. She stood before me, her lips curled into a self-satisfied smirk as she crossed her arms, clearly reveling in her perceived victory.“You,” she said, her tone dripping with malice. “We meet again. This time, you’ll pay for humiliating me back then.”The sting on my cheek and her audacious words only fueled my anger. I straightened my posture, letting a slow, mocking smile spread across my lips.“Are you still on about the boutique?” I asked, my tone light but laced with sarcasm. Then, with deliberate slowness, I added, “Or is it the live recording of you in your undies? Maybe it’s the part where you fell flat on your face? Or could it be when you tried to steal my dress?”Maya’s confident smirk faltered, and she began to glance nervously at the crowd forming around us. Murmurs rippled through the gathering as people whispered to one anoth

  • Bound To The Cursed Alpha King    40~ Heated Moment

    Avery’s Point of ViewKaiden’s gaze didn’t waver, and I felt myself getting lost in it. Panic bubbled inside me. Before he could say another word, I blurted, “I need some air. Excuse me.”Without waiting for a response, I turned and hurried out of the hall, my heart pounding in my chest. I found myself in the garden, the cool night air offering a momentary reprieve. I walked deeper into the garden, past the neatly trimmed hedges and blooming flowers, searching for a quiet place where I wouldn’t be easily found.Leaning against a tree, I tried to catch my breath. “What’s wrong with you?” I muttered to myself, scolding my reflection in a nearby fountain’s water. “Why did you suddenly feel speechless and breathless around him?”I paced, shaking my head as if to rid myself of the memory of his gaze. “Get it together, Avery,” I said firmly, but my cheeks still felt hot.“Running away from me?”The deep, familiar voice made me jump. Whirling around, I found myself face-to-face with Kaiden.

  • Bound To The Cursed Alpha King    41~ Meeting Old Friend

    Avery’s Point of ViewAs I bolted out of the garden, my breath coming in ragged gasps, I barely noticed the darkened path ahead of me. My only focus was putting as much distance as possible between myself and the intoxicating presence of Kaiden.But then I collided with something or rather, someone.“Sorry,” I muttered, not even looking up as I tried to keep moving.A firm hand grabbed my wrist, stopping me in my tracks. “Wait,” a soft yet familiar voice said.I froze, my heart still racing as the person turned me to face them. My breath hitched the moment I saw her.“Avery?” she gasped, her eyes widening in recognition.It took a moment for my own shock to subside, but as I took in the woman standing before me, realization dawned. “Aliyah?” I whispered, my voice filled with disbelief. “Is it really you?”A wide smile spread across her face as she nodded. “It’s me!”I blinked, momentarily lost for words. Aliyah had been one of the very few people in the Krypta Clan who had ever truly

    Avery’s Point of ViewJust as I was about to move from where I stood, my name rang out in the quiet night.“Avery!”I turned, startled, to see Laura’s face come into view. She was jogging toward me, her expression a mix of concern and relief. “I’ve been looking for you! Where have you been?”For a moment, I froze, my face heating as the memory of Kaiden’s intoxicating presence flashed in my mind. The way his touch lingered, the intensity in his eyes, it all came rushing back, and I knew my flushed cheeks betrayed me.“I…. uh, I was out here for some fresh air,” I stammered, hoping the dim light would hide my reddening face.Laura raised an eyebrow but didn’t push. Instead, she sighed, falling into step beside me. “I saw what happened earlier,” she said softly. “I’m sorry you had to face Maya.”“It’s fine,” I replied quickly, shrugging it off even though the encounter still stung. Maya’s venomous words were nothing new, nothing compared to what I had faced, but they still had a way of

  • Bound To The Cursed Alpha King    120~ It's About To Resurface

    Kaiden’s Point Of ViewHer hands clutched at my shirt, and she made a small, wounded sound that shattered me from the inside. "I swear it, Snowy," I murmured, moving my lips to her forehead, placing a reverent kiss there. "Even if the world falls apart, I will always find my way back to you.""You better," she whispered fiercely, her fingers fisting tighter against me. "Because if you don’t, I'll come drag you back myself." I laughed, a rough, broken sound, and crushed her closer, my arms aching with the need to keep her safe."Deal," I breathed.We sat like that for a long time, just holding each other, as if afraid the other would disappear if we let go. She pulled back a little after a while, eyes searching mine, vulnerable and fierce all at once."You scared me," she said, voice cracking again. "You idiot." I smiled sadly and pressed my forehead back to hers. "I know. And I'm sorry. I'll spend the rest of my life making it up to you."She blinked, a few more tears spilling free. I

  • Bound To The Cursed Alpha King    119~ I Will Always Find My Way Back To You

    Kaiden’s Point Of ViewThe night air still clung to my skin as I dashed through the thick woods, each stride devouring the distance between me and her.My heart beat with a wild rhythm, not from the exertion… gods, no, but from the anticipation curling tighter and tighter inside me.I burst through the last stretch of forest, leaves scattering in my wake, and there it was — the small house tucked neatly under the starlit sky, warm lights glowing from inside like a beacon.My chest ached just looking at it. At what waited for me inside. I slowed my pace as I approached the door, brushing a hand down my clothes half-heartedly to knock off the dirt. I gripped the doorknob, twisting it open.The living room was… Empty. The lights were still on. The faint golden hue cast soft shadows against the furniture, the walls, and the forgotten blanket draped over the couch.It screamed of waiting. Of someone sitting up, long past when they should have slept, hoping — praying for someone to walk thr

  • Bound To The Cursed Alpha King    118~ What If I Say Yes?

    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

  • Bound To The Cursed Alpha King    117~ For Letting Me Know Who I Need To Bury Next

    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

  • 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

  • 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

  • Bound To The Cursed Alpha King    114~ I Earned Him

    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
