I shouldn’t have asked the question.

The instant the words left my mouth, I saw it—the way his body stilled, the way his shoulders locked like stone, the way the air itself seemed to freeze around him. His eyes darkened, not with rage, but with something heavier. Something old.

Shame. Pain. Memories that still had teeth.

I shifted in my chair, guilt rising thick in my throat. “You don’t have to answer if you don’t want to,” I whispered, almost wishing I could snatch the words back.

His gaze flicked to me then, sharp and unflinching, before sliding away. For a moment, I thought he might stay silent forever. Then, slowly, like pulling each word from a wound, he spoke.

“I was born on the night of the blood moon.”

The room went silent except for the quiet clink of cutlery as I set my fork down. My pulse hammered in my ears.

“They thought I was like every other wolf pup,” he continued, his voice low, steady, too steady. “But I wasn’t. My first shift happened when I was four.”

  • CHOSEN BY THE CURSED ALPHA KING    Chapter 73- Hot and Cold

    The moment I closed the door behind me, my body betrayed me.My knees buckled, slamming against the polished floor, and a sharp hiss tore from my lips. I clutched at my stomach, the pain twisting through me like a knife, like something alive gnawing at me from the inside.Cold. Hot. Cold again.I couldn’t make sense of it. My skin burned as though fire licked across it, yet my bones rattled with a chill that made me shiver so violently my teeth clacked.What was happening to me?My breaths came short and ragged. The air in the room thickened, pressing down on me, suffocating, heavy. I dragged myself forward, palms scraping against the floor until I reached the bed. My arms trembled as I pulled myself up, clawing at the sheets until I managed to crawl on top.The moment I sank into the mattress, I yanked the covers over me, desperate for warmth. But it wasn’t enough.It was too much.Heat slammed into me, suffocating, searing my skin. My chest heaved as I kicked the blankets off with a

    The walk back to the palace was quiet. The kind of quiet that unsettles you deep in your bones.Emilia's steps were light beside mine, but her silence pressed against me heavier than any chain I had ever borne. I kept glancing at her from the corner of my eye, searching her face, waiting for the usual spark of fire, for her sharp tongue, for anything that felt like her.But all I found was the weight of distance.“You’ve been oddly quiet,” I said finally, my voice low, breaking the silence between us.Her head turned, her lips twitching into something that wasn’t quite a smile. “It’s nothing,” she murmured, shaking her head. “I’m just tired. Once we get to the palace, I’ll get some sleep.”Her tone was light, almost dismissive. But the way her eyes slid away from mine… it gnawed at me.Then she tried to joke. “Besides, it was my first time and you worked my body so hard. I should be sleeping for three days straight after that.”She laughed. Too quickly. Too forced.And I studied her.

    Her eyes opened wide at my question, water dripping down her lashes like crystal tears. For a moment she looked at me as though I had asked something absurd, something ordinary. “What do you mean?” she said lightly, though her voice trembled in a way she couldn’t hide. She tilted her head and offered me a weak smile. “Who am I? I’m Emilia. Hello…” She even lifted a wet hand from the bathwater in a mock wave, as if pretending this was all a joke. But I didn’t smile. “That’s not what I mean,” I said, my voice low, rough. “And you know it.” The faint humor drained from her expression. Her hand sank back into the water. “I haven’t stopped thinking about it,” I went on, my chest tight with the words I’d carried too long. “Last night in the forest. How you stopped my beast from leaving. How I touched you last night and you're…you're—still alive.” My throat worked. “Every other woman… every single one… dead. But you’re still here. Breathing. Whole.” Her lips parted, but no sound came o

    For one terrifying heartbeat, the world stopped. Her body was so still beneath my arm, so quiet, I swore I felt the cold breath of death brush against my skin. Not again. Not her. My heart thundered so violently I thought it would rip free from my chest. The curse had always been merciless—every woman I touched was doomed. And last night… last night I hadn’t just touched her. I had claimed her in every way I knew how. The thought that my hunger, my need, might have taken her from me— A low groan broke the silence. I jerked upright. “Maximus…” Her voice was a sleepy rasp, soft as a sigh. Then, with a hint of irritation, she mumbled, “Get away from me. You didn’t let me sleep until the early hours of the morning. I’m tired… and now you won’t let me sleep?” Relief hit me like a blade pulled free from a wound—sharp, dizzying. My head dropped forward and I exhaled hard, my palm dragging over my face as a shaky laugh escaped. Goddess, she scared the hell out of me. “You…” My voice

    I didn’t mean to say it.The words slipped out, born from something deeper than lust, deeper than this primal hunger that had taken root inside me since the moment Emilia looked at me like I was more than a monster.‘Marry me,’ I had whispered into her ear, my lips still brushing her skin. The silence that followed was suffocating.It felt like the entire cabin held its breath. Even the storm outside seemed to pause, as if the gods themselves were waiting for her response.Slowly, Emilia turned her head, her hair brushing across my jaw. Her eyes—those deep eyes—searched mine, wide and shimmering with something I couldn’t quite name.“What… did you just say?” she whispered, voice fragile, almost breaking.I blinked. My heart slammed against my ribs. For the first time in years—decades—I stuttered.“I… I—” My throat closed around the words. Me. The Alpha King. The beast cursed to kill every woman I touched. And here I was, stumbling over my own damn tongue like a boy.Her lips parted i
