Cursed to be my Mateย ย ย Welcome Back
~ Rhys ~HOW?!Rhys looked down at his body- that wasnโt his body- and was once again in Amiraโs form. Deliciously naked. That wasnโt the shocking bit, though. With some of the wounds scattered on her body, including a painful burn on her arm that was starting to heal, Rhys knew Amira escaped the dungeons almost unscathed. But HOW?! They were told it was 99% impossible to escape. Amira was that 1%.Rhys shook his head and scanned his surroundings. He stood beside a tree in the forest. It all looked the same, but he knew Amira didnโt make it far before their body swap. โWelcome back,โ Nisha greeted Rhys. He was surprised to have a warm welcome; it was far kinder than Amira probably would be. Hearing his thoughts, Nisha added, โYou cannot blame her for that.โโAnd did she really hate it?โ Rhys asked, feeling confident without the need to hear Nishaโs response. Still, he was curious.โThatโs beside the point!โ Nisha humphed, but Rhys could tell she wasnโt really angry and only putting

~ Rhys ~Did you mate with her already? Rhys wanted to scoff. Amira messed up in the midst of leaving to hunt him down. She should have known better than to believe he would continue on her little venture into the woods. What advantage would he gain from doing such a thing?Baltir glanced at Amiraโs chest and the bare spot where a mate mark would be. Amira ignored the Betaโs questions, though, and glanced behind her and stopped. She frowned at Rhys. Rhys glared back, not sure what was wrong with this she-wolf now.โAmira walks confidently and proudly. No matter who is around her. You are covering yourself and acting ashamed-โRhys scoffed, interrupting Nishaโs explanation. Before he could respond, Nisha spoke up. โWe are werewolves. Walking around naked is our forte. Amira has a beautiful body-โโExactly! I donโt want the others drooling over her!โ Rhys snapped back. He expected Nisha to be annoyed. Instead, she chuckled and seemed happy for some reason. Amira sighed after watching

~ Amira ~Amira parted ways with Rhys, her mind somewhat sluggish from the turn of events as she tried to keep up with everything that happened. Now back in Rhysโ body, she walked down the open hallways to the kingโs room, one she was used to returning to now but was overly aware of the bedroom beside his. The one where Rhys was currently.Zev and Tolva stood guard outside. The pair managed to find some breeches. Zev looked like heโd just gotten out of bed with that shaggy brown hair like normal compared to Tolvarโs stark difference with his blonde hair neatly pulled back into a small queue. Despite this, both were still shirtless. They appeared comfortable standing guard half naked, and she saw why. Their bodies were what she expected of the kingโs personal guard and friends. All muscular and chiselled. Demon growled in her mind, and she had to hide a slight smirk at his jealousy.โIt is only a compliment. I donโt mean anything by it. Youโre obviously waaaay hotter,โ Amira flattered

~ Amira ~While Amira had been internally debating with herself and forcing herself to look past Demonโs whines and the barrier around her heart that crumbled to them, Rhys had been side-eying her in the bath.โYou were going to escape. Why? You knew this was a possibility of happening,โ Rhys said, oblivious to Amiraโs thoughts and the narrowing of her eyes directed at him.Amira rolled her eyes. โIf you were ever truly in my shoes, then you would understand why escaping was a better option.โ She held her finger up to silence Rhys; surprisingly, he did. Rhys didnโt interrupt and watched her; his movements paused mid-scrub under his armpit. โThere were other reasons as wellโฆ I wanted to hunt down the elders who were banished... No matter, I will send the word out to target them.โ A wicked smile lit up Amiraโs face to the malevolent thoughts racing across her mind. So many would volunteer to hunt down and torture corrupt officials, which made their lives harder. Heck, even if she sent

~ Amira ~The doors closed behind them as Amira ventured further into the Alpha Kingโs chambers, lost in thought about this situation. She never thought about Beta Baltir discovering the body swap. Or hear their conversation. They seriously needed to get thicker walls. Rhys and Amira would need to find somewhere more private if they wished to discuss such things again. Right now, though, Amira needed to focus on the current issue. What could be done about Baltir?โWhat do you think you know?โ Amira decided to ask, turning to face him, now inside the living quarters by the fireplace. It was relatively safe to talk about this here. It was further inside the kingโs quarters, with the multiple walls and doors between them and the guards. "Youโre not Rhysโฆโ Baltir said, observing her and side-stepping gingerly. Amira glanced at his movements. It looked like he was debating whether to attack her or not. That would be a mistake. Amira ignored his hesitant movements and sat down in the a

~ Rhys ~Damn, did it feel good to be in the comforts of luxury again? Although his bath had been interrupted by Amira and the questions, she didnโt get answers to. He felt no guilt for not telling her the reasoning behind the elderโs authority. Even Nishaโs silence was not enough to deter him. In fact, it reminded him of having Demon in his mind. He would only growl and make his emotions apparent. Sometimes, if they were strong emotions, then he could hear some of his thoughts; otherwise, it was quiet. Much like now, though, he knew Nisha had a lot to say like Amira, making him more aware of Amira and Nishaโs similarities. Now dressed in the nightgown the maid gave him, he stared outside the bay windows, cradling a glass of whiskey. Yep, he managed to procure a bottle heโd hidden in the room previously. While lost in thought about the elders and the annoying power they had held over him until now, his head whipped to the side, hearing multiple footsteps approaching the door. The d

~ Rhys ~By the time Amira returned, dressed in a white shirt and breeches, the trio were sitting at the light pink sofa and armchairs, a drink in their hands. Baltir and Bash were still tense around Rhys, observing him and wondering if he really was the Alpha King. But they were more interested in getting some alcohol in their system first so they could handle the conversation they were going to have.It really wasn't that hard to understand, but Rhys and Amira were now somewhat used to it.Amira grabbed Rhysโ glass and tossed the whiskey back, gulping it down like water. Baltir and Bash watched her, a little fixated now that they were up to speed with everything. Their expressions were easy to read. They were adjusting to calling the Alpha King Amira and vice versa.Amira handed the empty glass to Rhys and plopped down in the open spot beside Rhys on the sofa. The Beta was in one armchair and Bash in another, watching them.โThanks," Rhys grumbled, glaring at Amira. "Care to pour me

~ Amira ~It was strange having two others now aware of the secret Amira and Rhys only just wrapped their heads around. Simultaneously, it was nice at the same time. Around Baltir and Bash, Amira didnโt need to be overly conscious about how she acted unless she was in front of other courtiers.After a few weeks in Rhysโ body, though, sheโd already done well acting as the king. It was quite easy. She was a leader herself, so ordering people to do stuff came naturally to her, especially with the Alpha blood in her system. But it was also nice to speak to someone else who wasnโt the irritating king. Now that Baltir was aware of who Amira really was, he started to act a little differently with her. He was definitely more formal. It had only been half a day since she went to meetings, and in the short spare time they had, Amira noted his slightly different behaviour. She asked him about it, and his response was that she was Alpha King Rhysโ mate, the future Luna. He couldnโt act so casual

Cursed to be my Mateย ย ย Epilogue
Xenos was executed within a week of returning to the palace. Amira was there but didnโt watch the execution after it reminded her of her fathers. The weight Amira had been carrying around lifted even at the expense of Zayyanโs fatherโs death. Zayyan wasnโt there to witness it due to the new position he held as the only leader of the rogues. Alpha Dashiellโs name was also cleared, and his name and pack reinstated, though there was none to accept it besides the last living pack member, Amira Desai, their Luna and Alpha Queen. The land that had been abandoned and weakened the kingdom since was given to the next Desai heir- Amira- who wanted to give it to Zayyan. Her cousin refused the offer and remained in the Wildlands, not wholly trusting the government or the rogues and remaining neutral within the ongoing politics. After Amiraโs coronation and introduction to the kingdom as their new Queen, the rules were established for packs and rogues to coexist peacefully. Zayyan ensured his p
Cursed to be my Mateย ย ย Chaotic (2)
On the other side of everybody fighting and almost finishing their fight because of the lack of numbers or will to continue hurting and killing each other, Amira flung one of her blades at Xenosโ face.Xenos blocked with his metal-cuffed arm and grinned as it bounced off. โCheap shot, Amira.โ He jumped forward and kicked through her blocked arms and square in the chest. Air rushed out of her lungs while her body flew back; instead of falling to the ground, though, Amira pushed off with her hand and flipped back until she was on her feet once more. Amira dusted her shirt down casually. She was in her usual black assassin attire today, minus the mask and cloak, but her black leather corset was thicker, more like a layer of armour. That kick still hurt, though, and she knew there would be a bruise. โI didnโt think you still had any moves, Xenos,โ she grinned, pulling two daggers from within her sleeves and prowling forward.โWatch it, kid,โ Xenos warned, green eyes so similar to her fat

โNot a chance,โ Xenos sneered and signalled for those behind him to attack. Amiraโs eyes widened. She didnโt expect him to use them. Their numbers were so much lower than theirs.โWell, should have expected that,โ Nisha commented.Frowning, Amira took a step in Xenosโ direction, but something flashed out of the corner of her eye. She turned her head and blocked an air assault by none other than Nova. At the same time, Caz had attacked Rhys. โShit,โ Amira growled, glancing at her uncle, who began stepping backwards as his men charged forward. โI didnโt want this!โShe didnโt want them fighting among themselves. Asking Xenos to fight was the perfect chance for her revenge and to stop what was now happening!โSorry, Mira!โ Nova attacked again, slicing her claws towards Amiraโs face. But she was far too slow for Amira. โIs there a reason you are trying to kill me?โ Amira asked in a bored tone as she blocked another strike from she-wolf and uppercut her chin. Nova stumbled backwards afte
Cursed to be my Mateย ย ย For The People
At the Alpha Kingโs words, the rogues turned to face him. All were shocked to see Rhys there. Even those who didnโt know what he looked like could tell who he was from the power emanating from him. Some wanted to bow their heads in submission to him even though they were rogues.โI am Alpha King Rhys Quintrell,โ Rhys announced. Some of his guards remained behind him, looking onward like they werenโt in enemy territory. โAnd this is not a trap. I do not have an army outside these doors nor wish to destroy you all. Amira is my mate. What she says is true. I want to improve our land, how people live, the system that cruelly acts against roguesโฆโ Rhys walked forward, and the crowd, in their shock, surprisingly parted ways for him. Amira shared a glance with Zayyan when her mate walked past Caz, who pushed Nova from him and stepped towards the Alpha King. But another rogue held him back. Caz growled, trying to get out of his hold. Everyone knew about Caz and Amiraโs past relationship. C
Cursed to be my Mateย ย ย The Wildlands
Amira hadnโt thought about the Wildlands since sheโd been body-swapping with Rhys and stayed in the palace. Of course, she thought of the people, but she didnโt think ahead when she would return to the place sheโd once called home. Now, some of her memories felt a little tarnished, a bit icky because of how she came to be with her uncle. Now, after a few days of travelling, they were almost in town. The building where the guild was located stood out the most compared to the other structures. Or perhaps it only stood out to Amira because it was where she grew up. Amiraโs little party mainly were on horseback, except for a few who remained in their wolf form. They werenโt a large group. That would mean getting spotted quicker.They werenโt large, but everyone was a skilled fighter. Rhys was beside her as well, wearing his usual expensive outfits. She didnโt want him to dress down, not now when she needed to convince others that they were working together. That was the priority of the
Cursed to be my Mateย ย ย You're Not Alone Anymore
The meeting was tenser than Amira had anticipated. Yet, through the mate bond, Amira could sense Rhys held no hatred towards Zayyan. After spending time in Amiraโs body, he saw Zayyan as a close friend already, but her cousin had no idea about their body switching. To him, this had been the first time theyโd officially met.Alpha Evander had also been extremely grumpy throughout their meeting. Once they came to a resolution, which didnโt take much, the hybrid was first to leave. Elixora would distribute to everyone, not just the rich, and the rebels who had overthrown Willowbrook would remain in charge under Zayyanโs care. Amira didnโt trust anyone else. Alpha Evander agreed that his pack would back off, but if there was any foul play, then they would step in and take it back. Although Evander was eager to leave and find his mate, he took the meeting seriously. It still involved his pack, and although he looked fierce and icy, the Alpha cared for his pack members. Not just his pack m

โAmira? Whatโs wrong?โ His voice hardened, glancing behind her. โCome inside. Weโll talk there.โAmira nodded once and followed. โZev, stay outside,โ she ordered nonchalantly.โIโm afraid I canโt do that, Luna,โ Zev replied, and his words made her freeze. Zayyan stopped walking, and he looked over his shoulder at her wide-eyed.โLuna?โAmira cocked an eyebrow. โLike I said. Much to discuss. Sure thing, Zev. Come in. But everyone else stays outside.โ Sheโd prefer Bash, but this would put Zevโs trustworthiness to the test. Would he tell others what was discussed between Amira and Zayyan before the meeting?The door closed behind them, and Amira went straight to the sofa, eyes flicking across the room as was her usual routine in any room. Zev did the same, but he was her guard. Flopping down on the sofa, Amira waited for Zayyan to join her. She felt impatient, needing to know if he had been deceiving her, yet at the same time, she wanted to keep this comforting illusion up a while longer
Cursed to be my Mateย ย ย Betrayal (1)
Slamming the journal shut, Amira glanced at the door after Beta Baltir announced Zayyanโs arrival at the palace through a mind link. Her mind still spun with the information she just learned from the journal. It had everything, every little detail about what happened. The later entries revealed the Kingโs regret and his attempts to find Amira to give her the life that was taken away from her. Theon knew this would never make up for his rash decisions, the loss of the lives of his closest friend and a powerful pack that guarded the kingdom well. But he couldnโt let his friendโs daughter die on the streets. Obviously, Amira was never caught. She thought everyone was out to kill her and remained well-hidden until she made it to the rebels. โWhere is Zayyan?โ Amira mind linked the Beta back, rage swarming her chest and tightening her stomach until it felt sick. โWhere is my cousin?โ she almost spat. Her claws started growing, and she had to breathe slowly to return them to normal. โHe
Cursed to be my Mateย ย ย No Excuse
The moment Rhys felt pain shoot through the bond, he left the old goats to their fighting and sprinted in his mateโs direction. Amira was injured?! And inside the palace where she should be safe!The pack mind link was loud, the urgency in his pack memberโs voices cutting straight through his mind. They knew Amira had been attacked? He hadnโt crowned her yet; how did they know they had a Luna and Queen? Obviously, theyโd met her at the banquet, but he hadnโt officially introduced her as such yet. No, something happened earlier. Rhys remembered this mechanism that seemed to click into place. A tension that nobody had been aware of within the pack faded away, and now he knew it was because Amira had joined them. They knew their Queen had arrived and were rushing to her side.Heโd entered the library to discover Amira fought an assassin and was interrogating him, not at all bothered by the state of her right side. Blood was seeping through the side of her torso. For a brief moment, Rhys
