Fated to the Cursed Alpha King Chapter 15: The Confession
Kael's POVThe cell stretched long and silent, eerily so for a place that was never meant to sleep. My boots echoed sharply against the stone tiles as I moved closer to Lyria.She lay still on the floor, curled slightly on her side like she was just resting. My heart still kicked against my ribs at the sight of her unmoving form. Panic clawed its way up my throat, but I shoved it down—along with the unfamiliar feeling of dread that rushed through me when I saw that she was alive.My eyes were able to catch the soft rise and fall of her chest now. She was breathing. My jaw clenched hard, and yet I didn't understand why relief hit me so violently that I almost staggered. What was this damn feeling?I wasn’t supposed to care.I should’ve been furious. And I was—my face stayed carved in fury, a mask I knew too well how to wear. My hands balled into fists as I took another step forward.“Lyria!” I barked.But she didn’t stir. “What a deep sleeper she is,” I scoffed. Then I stamped my foot

Kael's POVThe moment Hood said those words—“I did it, Kael”—the entire room stilled. Even the wind outside seemed to hush, as though nature itself paused to absorb his confession.I turned my eyes slowly to Garrick, whose face had twisted into something like righteous indignation. He didn't need to say a word. That look—piercing, demanding—spoke volumes. He wanted an apology.As if I could really say sorry. He should’ve known better. I was many things—Alpha, King, warrior—but a man who handed out apologies wasn’t one of them. Not even when I was wrong. Especially not when my pride hadn't decided it was wrong.But even if I’d been inclined to mutter an apology—and I wasn’t—I had no time for that now. My gaze remained fixed on Hood, the confession still echoing through my mind.“You’re going to explain that,” I said, voice low and sharp.Hood didn’t flinch. And his calm was infuriating. “I used one stone to kill two birds,” he said simply.My fingers curled slowly into a fist. “Elucid

Lyria's POV The more I thought of what happened last night, the more tangled my thoughts became, like a vine twisting tightly around my ribs. It made breathing feel like a task. Nothing made sense. Nothing added up.The lifeless guard, sprawled on the cold stone floor. The blood. The blade. The silence.I had no idea who had sent that guard in the first place. Was he meant to kill me? Intimidate me? Was he one of the King’s pawns—or a rebel trying to get close? And then... who had killed him?Given how fresh the blood of that guard was, the King, Kael, must have arrived just moments after he was killed . His fury was unmistakable, yes, but not once did he punish me—not yet. He had questioned me relentlessly instead, demanding to know what happened. That alone told me something important.He didn’t know. Which meant he didn’t send the guard.Which also meant... he hadn’t killed him.But then who did?It made me question everything as my thoughts kept spiraling. I again thought of how

Lyria's POVThe cold bite of the shackles had etched themselves into my memory—into my skin. I had lived with the weight of those chains for weeks, their iron taste almost mingling with the air I breathed. Yet here I stood, my wrists free, my ankles unburdened. I looked at my hands, slightly trembling, and then down at my feet. No more chains.For a moment, I just stood there, motionless, not even daring to believe it. Like a pup just learning to walk, I cautiously took one step forward. Then another, The clink of metal didn’t follow me this time. No pull. No resistance. Just silence—and the soft pad of my own bare feet on the cold stone floor.I turned to Hood, still in disbelief. Ivy was hugging him again, and to my amazement, this brooding warrior actually smiled. A rare, genuine one.“I’m only doing this for you, Ivy,” he murmured, barely audible. His words made her grin from ear to ear.He glanced at me once and added, “You can walk around the palace for a while. Garrick isn’t a

Lyria's POVI closed my eyes, regretting my action when I heard Mira's sharp voice, “come out, Lyria.”But I couldn't wonder for long how she knew that I was under this bed. Apart from the fact that she has little knowledge of ancient magic, even my gasp the other time could have given me away. As if that could change anything, I held my breath and remained still under the bed. Suddenly, the blanket that stopped halfway down the bed lifted and I winced as light fully flooded the underside of Mira's bed. Then her face appeared upside down, eyes narrowed suspiciously, but her lips quirked with amusement.“Lyria,” she said flatly this time, “Come out.”Slowly, I scooted out from beneath the bed like a guilty fox caught in the henhouse. I sat back on my heels, brushing dust from my arms. Mira stood with crossed arms, her long dark braid swaying as she stared down at me.“I—I wasn’t doing anything,” I stammered, trying to summon a smile. “Okay, that’s a lie. I was trying to surprise you

Kael's POV The wind howled through the ancient trees of Aetherwood, their gnarled limbs swaying like devout worshippers paying homage to a silent god—only this time, I imagined they were paying homage to me. A twisted honor for a cursed king. The rustling leaves murmured secrets I couldn’t decipher, and high above, birds cried out into the soft dusk like children calling for answers no one was willing to give.Everything felt… normal.Too normal.And that was the cruelest part.Because inside me, nothing was normal. My chest felt like it was caving in from a pressure I couldn’t explain. The deeper I breathed, the tighter my ribs felt, like the air itself was turning against me.I found a moss-covered boulder at the base of a silver-barked tree and collapsed onto it, my elbows resting on my knees, hands rubbing over my tired face.So I was going to die.That much had been made clear. If I didn’t find something—some answer, some act, some truth—I would wither like the weakling son of a
ปรับปรุงล่าสุด : 2025-04-16Fated to the Cursed Alpha King Chapter 21: Struggles Against Heat
Kael's POV The stone floors of the palace echoed under my boots as I marched through the hallway like a storm gathering strength. Rage churned in my chest, pulsing with each step. Every servant who saw me ducked out of my way, sensing the fury that licked around me like fire. My destination was clear—Lyria’s cell.But right now, all I could think of was Hood. What in the hell had he been thinking?My jaw clenched so hard I heard a faint crack in my own ears. Hood had no right. No permission. I hadn’t told him to let her out. I hadn’t even thought of it, not after everything. What if she’d escaped? What if she’d disappeared without a trace, leaving behind only questions and the sting of betrayal?I spotted him just ahead, leaning near the corridor that led to the cells. He straightened the moment he saw me, but there was something off about him—his usually neat appearance was frayed around the edges, like he’d just come out of a whirlwind. Hair disheveled. Shirt slightly rumpled. But
ปรับปรุงล่าสุด : 2025-04-16Fated to the Cursed Alpha King Chapter 22: Interrupted Ecstasy
Kael’s POVI was done for. I knew it. The very moment my willpower began to crumble and my wolf clawed his way to the surface with an urgency I hadn’t felt in years—I knew I was cooked. Completely and utterly doomed.There was no logic left in me. No reasoning. No command. I wasn’t thinking anymore, only reacting.One moment I was frozen in place, the next I was lunging forward, propelled by something far greater than me. A pull so strong it felt cosmic. Lyria made a startled sound and staggered back, her chains clinking, halting her motion. She couldn’t escape. She didn’t even try to scream. She just stared at me with those eyes—those damn haunting eyes that seemed to see every broken shard in me.In the blink of an eye, I covered the little gap between us. The only little preamble was me brushing my lips against hers. The moment she parted those lips for me whether against her will or not, my tongue swept against her in a passionate kiss. This wasn't a kiss I could call gentle, tes

Fated to the Cursed Alpha King Chapter 85: Joined Hearts
Lyria's POVIt was well into the night by the time Kael returned, but everyone had stayed awake all along. Even before his return, right from the time Magnus was killed and defeated, and everyone got to know, the whole palace had become a beehive of activity. While some got busy taking away Ivy's body which Magnus used, some took care of the mess that had been created in my room, while the rest even came up with a little plan, deciding that if the king did not return soon, they would go all out into the night to look for their king. Thank goddess Kael came back just when they were planning it. Now, Kael stood before a crowded hall, his hands intertwined in mine while we had Mira and Hood flanking us as Kael prepared to address everyone who had been jubilating for the final victory that came from Kael and I. Soon, one of them shouted, Long live the King! Long live the Queen! Another followed, and another, till I lost count, till everyone of them started chanting it. I couldn't he
Fated to the Cursed Alpha King Chapter 84: The Return
Lyria's POVThe metallic tang of blood still hung in the air, staining the wooden floor and seeping into my senses even though I had already left the room. I stood just outside the threshold, trembling slightly, not from fear, but from the aftermath of what had just unfolded.Hood stood by me, his broad frame solid and unmoving, acting as a silent shield. Mira soon joined us, her face pale and her eyes reflecting the swirl of shock still settling inside her. Behind us, the hallway was chaotic. Warriors murmured to one another, confused but ready for action, and palace workers stood stiffly, waiting for instruction. The eerie silence that followed the confrontation had now morphed into hushed chaos.Hood finally raised his voice, commanding with the same strength he had used when leading warriors in battle. “Drag her out,” he said flatly, motioning to the twisted, bloodied body that had once resembled Ivy. “That’s not her anymore. That was Magnus.”The warriors hesitated for a beat, a
Fated to the Cursed Alpha King Chapter 83: A Strange Note
Lyria's POVThe letter shook in my trembling hands, its corners crumpled from how tightly I gripped it. I had found it under the pillow, as though Kael couldn’t bear to place it anywhere else, as though hiding it there would soften the blow. But it didn’t. It shattered something deep inside me.He was gone.He left without taking a single warrior, without so much as a whisper in my direction—no warning, no goodbye. Only a letter. One that didn’t even say where he was going. It only spoke about how he didn’t want me to get hurt. As though I would be fine watching him walk straight into danger alone. As though my heart wouldn't tear apart with worry.He must be far away now. Far enough that the bond between us had dulled to a fragile echo, a dim hum instead of the steady, grounding presence I was used to. That bond was my compass, my anchor—and now, with it so faint, I felt like I was drifting.And how do I tell him?How do I tell him that I’m pregnant? That there’s a tiny, flickering l
Fated to the Cursed Alpha King Chapter 82: The Magic Quest
Kael's POV The journey to the seer felt like walking through a tunnel with no end, the terrain familiar and yet stretched endlessly under the weight of my thoughts. I knew I didn’t have the luxury of time, but each step closer to the seer’s dwelling made me feel heavier. Like the very act of seeking answers was slowly anchoring me in a truth I might not be ready to face.When I finally reached the seer’s small hut nestled between withered oaks and whispering moss, I didn’t bother knocking. She was already outside, sitting cross-legged before her fire, her eyes half-lidded as if she'd been waiting for me since the beginning of time."You wish to chase a shadow that refuses to die," she said, before I could utter a word. Her voice was raspy, like dry leaves dragged across stone.I froze. I shouldn't have been surprised. She always knew. "Then you already know why I’m here."She nodded once, the motion slow and eerie. "The man you seek now wears two skins."My brows creased. "What does
Fated to the Cursed Alpha King Chapter 81: A Ghost King
Kael's POVThe dull light of dawn filtered through the curtains, casting a gentle glow over the room. But I didn’t move. I couldn’t. I lay there, glued to the edge of the bed, my back turned to Lyria. My body still ached, not just from the war, not just from the fight, but from something heavier. It was fear. The fear of uncertainties. Fear that the danger that still lingered out there, if left uncurbed, will come back in a more deadly wave The sex Lyria and I had last night felt great—intense and raw, and for a moment, it had numbed everything. Her touch had silenced the voices. Her breath on my skin had reminded me I was still hunan—still hers. But come morning, the weight returned with cruel clarity.Magnus wasn’t dead.He’d vanished. Again. Like a cursed shadow slithering into the cracks of the world, waiting to reform. I could feel it in my bones, in the dread pooling in my chest. This wasn’t over. It was just delayed. And I couldn’t stomach the thought of him coming back—to hu
Fated to the Cursed Alpha King Chapter 80: Not Again
Lyria's POV I woke up the next morning wrapped in a cocoon of warmth and soft sheets, Kael’s arm draped protectively around my waist, his breathing steady behind me. The first rays of sunlight streamed through the slightly drawn curtains, casting golden streaks across the room, bathing everything in a tender glow.For a fleeting moment, the chaos of the war, the bloodshed, and the pain from the night before slipped from my mind. All I could think of—feel, even—was the raw intensity and depth of what had transpired between Kael and me last night.My body still tingled with the memory of his hands on my skin, the hunger in his kiss, the fire in his eyes. The way we came together like two halves of the same soul desperately finding home in one another after being torn apart.I smiled to myself, a slow, dreamy kind of smile. My fingers traced over the crook of my neck where Kael had marked me—his mark. It pulsed faintly now with a warmth I couldn’t explain, like a star lodged under my sk
Fated to the Cursed Alpha King Chapter 79: Mated, Healed and Whole
Kael's POV The moment we got into the room now after leaving the palace, Lyria slumped unto the bed tiredly and I sat next to her. “You were incredible back there,” I murmured, still trying to believe everything I’d seen with my own eyes. “They were dead, Lyria. Some of them were gone. But you brought them back.”She gave me a small, humble smile. “I didn’t bring them back, Kael. The moon goddess did. I was just a vessel.”“But without you, they would have stayed gone,” I insisted.Lyria didn’t argue—she never took credit—but she also didn’t deny the truth. Instead, she stared at the floor for a moment, her fingers tightening around mine.Then, after a few paces of silence, she spoke. “I’ve been thinking about Hood…” her voice was low, laced with sorrow. “If he had known that Ivy would still come back to life—even if just unconscious—I think he might have held on. Might not have run into the remnants of Magnus’ magic.”I looked at her. Her expression was steady, but grief shimmered j
Fated to the Cursed Alpha King Chapter 78: Rebuild
Kael's POV I watched with swelling pride as the warriors—those who had once laid still in pain or death—staggered forward, their expressions a mix of awe, gratitude, and disbelief. Some had risen from death itself, their eyes wide and trembling with the weight of life returning to their bodies. Others who had been too injured to move now stood tall and whole, like they'd never tasted the edge of death.And they all came to Lyria.One by one, they approached her—some kneeling, others bowing their heads, a few clutching their chests in reverence—as they thanked her over and over. Their words were thick with emotion. But Lyria only offered them a warm, gentle smile and said, “Thank the Moon Goddess. She chose you to stay.”The humility in her voice stunned me. Power like that could easily corrupt someone, yet she wore it like a gentle blessing. Not a crown.Lyria and I continued walking together, hand in hand. Mira had summoned a few of her assistants, and I glanced back to see them ge
Fated to the Cursed Alpha King Chapter 77: Coma
Lyria's POVThe moment Kael’s eyes fluttered open, I forgot how to breathe.For a second, I thought I had imagined it. But then his lashes trembled again, slow and uncertain like a dream rousing itself to life. I gasped, my hands flying to my mouth as his chest rose with a deep inhale, and color returned to his face like dawn breaking through a long night. The gaping wound that had spilled his life onto the earth was gone. Not a trace left. Not even a scar. The ground where he lay was wet with blood, but his skin now bore no sign that he had ever been touched by death.My heart exploded.“Kael,” I whispered, the name catching in my throat like a prayer half-formed.His eyes opened. Fully this time. Slowly. Those familiar, warm eyes that I thought I’d never see again blinked up at the sky before they turned toward me. For a beat, he just stared—confused, dazed, like someone waking from a deep slumber. Then his brows furrowed and his lips parted slightly.“Lyria?”A sob tore out of me
