Serena’s POV

Even though I’m in terrible pain, I know I have to move. The explosion has made everything worse - my back feels like it’s on fire, and every step sends shockwaves through my body. But I can hear voices outside, angry voices that I recognize.

Alec helps me up, supporting most of my weight as we try to figure out where to go. The warehouse suddenly feels like a trap instead of a hiding place. There are too many entrances, too many ways for them to get in.

“Can you run?” Alec asks, looking around frantically.

“I’ll have to,” I grit my teeth and try to stand on my own. The pain is almost unbearable, but fear is a powerful motivator.

We head toward the back exit first, thinking maybe we can slip out without being seen. But as soon as Alec reaches for the door handle, it explodes inward. Three of Lucan’s vampire minions stand there, their eyes glowing red in the dim light.

“Going somewhere?” one of them asks with a nasty grin.

We spin around and run toward the front exit, but

  • Curse of the Alpha demon   Don’t bring up the suggestion again

    RYKER’S POVAfter the car disappeared with Cruz, Jaxon, and Isabella, I headed back inside. Alec followed me, and I could tell he had more questions he wanted to ask.“So that was from one of your secret missions?” he asked as we walked down the hall.I nodded. “Something like that.”Alec looked like he wanted to press for more details, but he knew me well enough to know when I wasn’t going to talk. We had just reached my office when my phone started ringing.I looked at the screen and saw Donovan’s name. I almost didn’t answer, but something told me I should take the call.“Donovan,” I said, putting the phone to my ear.“We need to talk again.”His voice was demanding, like he was used to getting his way. I didn’t like his tone.“We can speak on the phone,” I told him. “My pack has issues I need to address today.”“This is important business. Business that could benefit both of us greatly.”I sighed and walked into my office, closing the door behind me. Alec gave me a questioning loo

    RYKER’S POVThe morning sun was just starting to rise when I walked into the main hall. I had barely slept all night, thinking about what had happened with the boy.Alec and Jaxon were already there, standing near the windows. They both turned when they heard my footsteps. The boy was sitting on one of the chairs, looking small and scared. He had been quiet since we got back to the pack house.“Morning,” I said, walking over to them.Alec looked at me, then at the boy, then back at me. “Ryker, what’s happening here? Who is this kid?”Jaxon stepped closer. “Yeah, Alpha. You came back last night with this boy and you haven’t said a word about where you found him or what’s going on.”I looked at both of them. How could I explain what I had seen? How could I tell them about the demon that had been living inside this innocent child? About the way the crescent had glowed and separated the monster from the boy?“I need someone who can help me give this boy a good life,” I said finally.“That

    Serena’s POVI look at the kind woman through the mirror and force my best smile. My face feels stiff, but I need to appear normal.“Yes, I’m fine. Thank you for asking,” I say, trying to keep my voice steady.She studies my face carefully, and I can tell she’s not completely convinced by my answer. “Are you sure? You look quite pale, and you were gripping the counter very tightly.”I need a believable excuse quickly. “I’m just tired from all the dancing. The party has been going on for hours, and these heels are killing my feet.”She nods with understanding. “Oh yes, I know exactly what you mean. These formal events can be exhausting. The shoes they expect us to wear are torture devices.”I let out a small laugh, which seems to convince her that I’m okay. She starts fixing her own makeup in the mirror next to me, occasionally glancing at me to make sure I’m alright.I finish touching up my appearance as quickly as possible. The sooner I get out of here, the better. I don’t want anyon

  • Curse of the Alpha demon   Positive words

    Serena’s POVThe whole guests stare at me as my dress tears near my thigh. I can feel their eyes on me, and for a moment, I think Daniella has finally succeeded in embarrassing me. She stands there with that evil smirk on her face, waiting to see me run away in shame.But something unexpected happens instead.“Oh my goodness, look at that beautiful skin,” one woman says loudly.“The tear actually makes the dress look more stylish,” another guest comments.“I wish I had the confidence to pull off something like that,” a third woman adds with admiration.More compliments keep coming from different people around us. The women especially seem impressed by how the torn fabric shows off my leg in an elegant way. Some even say it looks like it was designed that way on purpose by a famous fashion designer.“That’s such a unique look,” an older lady tells her friend. “Very modern and bold.”“She has such flawless skin. The dress looks even better now,” someone else whispers.I stand there list

  • Curse of the Alpha demon   Torn dress

    Serena’s POVI struggled to walk in the tight long gown Lucan had picked out for me. Every step felt difficult, like my legs were made of lead. I had to focus just to keep my balance. Something was wrong with me, but I tried to hide it from everyone around me.The gala was being held in a huge ballroom filled with important people. Everyone was dressed in expensive clothes and jewelry. The men wore fancy suits and the women wore beautiful gowns. I felt out of place even though my dress was probably the most expensive dress here. Lucan walked beside me with his hand on my arm. He was smiling and acting like the perfect gentleman, but I could feel his grip was firm. He wasn’t just being polite. He was making sure I didn’t fall or embarrass him.“You look beautiful tonight,” he said, loud enough for people nearby to hear. “Absolutely stunning.”I forced a smile and nodded. I knew he was putting on a show for all these people. He wanted them to see that he had a young, pretty wife who ad

  • Curse of the Alpha demon   Rogues wolf

    Ryker’s POVI looked at the boy who was still shaking on the ground. His eyes were wide with fear and confusion. I could see he was trying to understand what had just happened. The demon was gone now, nothing left but dust on the ground.I walked over to him slowly, making sure not to scare him more than he already was. He looked like he was maybe fifteen or sixteen years old. Too young to have gone through something like this.“Hey,” I said softly. “It’s okay now. You’re safe.”The boy looked up at me with tears in his eyes. He was breathing hard and fast, like he couldn’t catch his breath.“Take your time,” I told him. “Just breathe slowly.”I sat down on the ground next to him and waited. After a few minutes, his breathing started to slow down. He wiped his eyes with the back of his hand and looked at me again.“What happened to me?” he asked in a shaky voice.“You were being controlled by something evil,” I said. “But it’s gone now. You’re free.”The boy nodded but I could see he
