MAXIMUS’S POV

The silence in my office was unbearable.

It pressed down on me like a weight, heavy and suffocating, wrapping around every thought that tried to crawl out of my head. I’d been here since I returned to the palace—door locked, curtains drawn, fire out.

I didn’t want to feel.

I didn’t want to think.

I just wanted to be numb.

The desk in front of me was covered in papers, most of them reports I hadn’t touched. My throne-like chair sat behind it, cold, unwelcoming. I didn’t sit there. I sat on the edge of the couch instead, elbows on my knees, staring at the floor like it could give me answers.

I couldn’t go to my bedroom.

Not when everything in there screamed her name.

The scent of her still lingered in the sheets. The faint memory of her laugh clung to the walls. Every damn corner of that room reminded me of Emilia—her stubbornness, her strength, the way she always looked me straight in the eyes when everyone else bowed.

She wasn’t scared of me.

Not once.

  • CHOSEN BY THE CURSED ALPHA KING    Chapter 126- Surprised to See Me?

    MAXIMUS’S POV Chaos erupted around me the moment Lucien spoke the words ‘rogues are trying to break through the east border.’ My mind went into overdrive—every piece of the puzzle snapping together into something dark, something dangerous, something that tasted like betrayal. Soraya gone. Emilia missing. Rogues attacking. It wasn’t a coincidence. It couldn’t be. My pulse thundered so violently I could feel it echoing in my teeth. My chest was so tight it hurt to breathe, and a cold, sharp panic crawled down my spine. But I didn’t let it take over. Not when I still had a kingdom to protect. Not when Emilia was out there—alone, scared, taken. I forced myself to inhale. Once. Twice. Enough to keep from snapping completely. Then I straightened, turned to Lucien, and said the words that came out of me like a command carved from stone. “Gather every warrior we have, now.” I ordered. “Get them to the east border. I want the women and children protected—no one leaves the palace wa

  • CHOSEN BY THE CURSED ALPHA KING    Chapter 125- Who Are You?

    EMILIA’S POV The first thing I felt was weight. A heavy, suffocating weight pinning my body down. When I opened my eyes, everything was blurry—shapes bleeding into darkness, shadows swimming like liquid. My lashes fluttered, slow and weak, and for a moment I didn’t understand where I was…or why my limbs felt so heavy. What happened? Why does everything feel…wrong? My last memory came back in pieces—the room, the cold chill, that strange sense of being watched. My breath hitching. The hair on my arms rising. Then— Nothing. Just a soft wave of warmth running through my veins, so warm it felt like it lulled me to sleep. My knees buckling. The ground rushing up. And then—darkness. I blinked harder, trying to force my vision to sharpen. Slowly, the blur began to pull itself together. A ceiling. Dark stone. The texture rough and cold-looking even from afar. My head throbbed as I tried to move. My body didn’t respond. Panic punched through my chest. I tried again—to lift my han

  • CHOSEN BY THE CURSED ALPHA KING    Chapter 124- She's Gone

    MAXIMUS’S POV “What the fuck do you mean she’s gone?!” My voice thundered through the office like a volcano about to erupt. I could feel my blood boiling under my skin, my pulse hammering against my temples. Lucien stood across from me, stiff and alert, but even he flinched at the roar in my voice. “We went to her cabin like you ordered,” he said carefully, “but there wasn’t any sign of her. The place was completely empty.” Empty. Vanished. Gone. I felt something snap inside me—like a thread stretched too tight finally breaking apart. My hands clenched on the edge of my desk until my knuckles ached. I forced myself to breathe, but every inhale felt like fire. This… this was it. This was the goddamn confirmation that Soraya had been lying to me for years. Playing me. Twisting me. Manipulating me. But why? Why the hell would she do this? I stared down at my desk but didn’t actually see it. My vision blurred around the edges, the anger too sharp, too deep. My parents

  • CHOSEN BY THE CURSED ALPHA KING    Chapter 123- I've Missed You

    EMILIA’S POV Our lips were still tingling from the kiss — that desperate, shaking, soul-deep kiss that felt like it pulled the breath straight out of my lungs. My hands were still tangled in his hair, his fingers still gripping my waist like he couldn’t decide whether to keep me close or pull me fully into him. Then, slowly, Maximus pulled back. But he didn’t pull far. Just enough for our foreheads to touch. Enough that his warm breath brushed across my lips, soft and uneven. We both let out a shaky laugh at the same time. A small, quiet moment—but it felt huge. Like our bodies were finally remembering how to be light after being weighed down for so long. He lifted one hand and cupped my face gently. His thumb brushed my cheek, slow and warm, and a soft smile tugged at the corner of his mouth. “I’m so happy to see you smile like this,” he murmured. My chest tightened. His eyes softened further. “I felt like dying when you wouldn’t even look at me.” His thumb traced my cheekb

  • CHOSEN BY THE CURSED ALPHA KING    Chapter 122- Please Don't Hate Me

    EMILIA’S POV For a moment, Maximus didn’t even blink. He just stared at me like the floor had been ripped out from under him—like my words had cut straight through whatever strength he had left. His hands were still on my face, but suddenly they felt frozen, rigid, trembling. “What… are you talking about, Emilia?” he whispered again, voice rough and confused. “I might not like your family for how they treated you… but I swear I didn’t kill them. Why would I do that?” More tears burned down my cheeks. I shook my head slowly. “Not them,” I whispered. His brows knit sharply. Confusion flashed across his face, then worry, then something darker. He stepped closer, his hands leaving my face and gripping my shoulders, firm but gentle, like he was scared I might fall apart. “Talk to me. Did someone hurt your family?” His jaw tightened. “I know they might not be the best, but they’re still your family. So if anyone dared—” “My real family,” I whispered. He froze. His fingers, grippi

  • CHOSEN BY THE CURSED ALPHA KING    Chapter 121- I'm Supposed to Hate You

    EMILIA’S POV For a moment, I forgot how to breathe. Maximus was staring at me like he was seeing the moon rise for the very first time—slow, stunned, disbelieving. My heart hammered so loudly I could barely hear anything else. His eyes were still slightly unfocused from shifting back, still raw from whatever storm had torn through him moments ago… but when they settled on me, it felt like the whole world narrowed into a single breath. A single truth neither of us knew how to swallow. His gaze kept flicking between my eyes, my mouth, my neck—back and forth like he was afraid he was imagining me. “Maximus…” My voice came out broken, barely a whisper. “How… how is this possible? I thought Raina was your mate.” His jaw tensed, but his eyes softened—slowly, painfully—as he lifted his hand. His fingers trembled when they brushed my cheek, like he was scared I might disappear if he touched me too hard. “You feel it too,” he whispered. I swallowed hard. Goddess. His voice. It wasn’
