Ophelia pov

When I hang up the call, I remain sitting on the edge of my bed until my hands stop shaking. Tate said they’re coming, that should bring relief, but instead, I feel like I just added more fuel to the flame.

Next comes the hardest part - breaking the news to the two men who live under the same roof as me. I go to look for Alister first because I know he should be returning from a patrol around this time.

As I step outside the house, I notice him coming, tired and annoyed but the se

  • Cursed by the Alphas   116. We’ll keep it.

    Cylus povThe house is an insult on the best of the days - no amount of sunlight and flowers could ever fix up this mess. In my humble opinion, the only salvation would be to tear the whole thing down and build a brand new, much better building, but it’s not like anyone would listen to me. Besides, I’ve said the house is bad already six times since we arrived and my tongue is itching to repeat the same words for the seventh. I could deal with the dust and the broken appliances, but one bathroom for five people? Yeah, that’s a war crime. Despite the many complaints I voiced, I’m still left standing in the living room, staring at that damned water stain on the ceiling. I hate this place with passion. Alister left an hour ago, said something about boxes at the main house and the twins headed back to their territory for pack business they insisted couldn’t wait. Which means, for the first time since the ridiculous moving plan began, I’m alone with her.I turn my head and look at Opheli

  • Cursed by the Alphas   115. Princess.

    Ophelia povThe first thing I notice is that the house isn’t nearly as big as mom described it. It looks like every other industrial house - two floors, a porch and a yard that looks like nobody’s loved it in a year. Well, I suppose mom didn’t lie about the place, after all, she did say it was empty and available, not that it’s pretty. Hayes parks in front of it and gets out without a word, walking around the car to open the door for me. He’s been quiet the whole drive and even now, he doesn’t offer any opinion, simply stands in the driveway and looks at the tree line like he’s measuring how fast he can get back to his pack from here.Tate’s the first one to rush toward the actual house, running up the stairs, kicking a clump of dirt off the step. “Fuck me, I can already smell the layer of dust inside this place, we’re going to be coughing for a week.”“It’s a house, not a crypt,” Alister calls after him, smiling from ear to ear as his hand catches mine and squeezes it, “we’re livin

    Lenox povI don’t trust a single creature with a dick in this room, which is why I’m asking my precious little Optimus what she agreed to just now and judging by the look on her face, I ain’t gonna like shit.“Nothing,” she says way too quickly, eyes wide with surprise at my arrival. It’s a lie. A beautiful lie, really. I can smell that shit from miles away because that one word smells like the treehouse of betrayal.“Try again,” I say, cross my arms and lean against the doorframe. “But speak louder this time and with more details, preferably ones that don’t make me gag.”Alister opens his mouth to speak up for her, but I quickly pull the spoon from the back pocket of my jeans and point it at him, “not you, dude, you already had your share of fun talking, this time Optimus talks.”My little precious angel makes a sound that totally isn’t a sigh because it’s way too big for a simple exhale so I know I’m about to suffer real big time. “Mom said yes to a house,” Optimus mutters under h

  • Cursed by the Alphas   113. Yes.

    Ophelia povAlister and I return home, hold hands and head inside. And yet, we barely make it through the front door before the ambush starts.Hayes is sitting on the living room couch, Tate stands near the window and Cylus paces the carpet, still impossibly calm but very clearly overthinking about something that might become an issue soon. All three of them look at Alister, then at me, then back at Alister.“Welcome home,” Hayes says and looks at me, grinning. “Your father tried to start a fight club.”Alister stops and squeezes my hand a little tighter, “what?”“Council,” Tate corrects with a grin so wide I don’t think I can take him seriously now. “He wanted us to beat up Alister for the treehouse. Group project, his words not mine.”I stare at them, trying to see if any of them will crack up and admit this is nothing but a prank, but none of them starts laughing. My jaw nearly drops to the ground, “you’re joking.”“I wish,” Hayes says and settles on the couch more comfortably, “he

  • Cursed by the Alphas   112. A very special walk.

    Lenox pov I am a traitor to my own bloodline.I absolutely had to help Alister with the date idea and nudge him toward choosing a place my little Optimus holds dear to heart. I totally said “fairy lights” out loud like a man who knows no consequences and now, my daughter is on date four and I’m losing my fucking mind in the middle of the kitchen. Ragh sits on the counter and watches me pace, he’s a bit smart because he knows better than to talk to me right now. “Director,” he grumbles just as I praise him in my mind so I take those thoughts back. “Why are you walking in a square? Are you performing witchcraft?” “This isn’t witchcraft, I’m just sad and furious at the same time, totally normal,” I snap at him but don’t stop pacing because if I do, my mind will go places I don’t want to visit ever in my life. “But,” Ragh huffs and tilts his head, “you helped the gloomy wolf.” “Goddess almighty, I know, I know! Don’t narrate my crimes back at me,” I turn on my heel and point a finger

  • Cursed by the Alphas   111. Paradise.

    Ophelia pov It’s day four, which means it’s the last date from my mates. I kind of wish this would never end, but I also won’t back from my own promise, so I’ll just enjoy everything while it lasts. Alister arrives on time, as usual, knocks once and enters my room before I call out for him to enter. He stands in the doorway and smirks, “close your eyes.”“Why?” I ask and get off the bed. “Because I said please in my head,” he says and holds up a strip of black fabric, smiling like he already knows I’ll complain but still do what he asks anyway. “I want to blindfold you for this one.” My eyes dart between his smug face and the fabric in his hand. I cross my arms and try to glare at him, “you’re seriously in my room with a hostage accessory on you?” “It’s a date accessory, Ophelia,” he corrects and steps closer, “just trust me and turn around. Please?”I huff and do as he asks, turning my back on him and closing my eyes, “if this is some stupid prank, I’m telling dad.”“Not a prank
