Selene's POV

"Carmen!!!" I yelled as I ran towards her, my heart thumping wildly against my chest.

I couldn't even take time to accept and examine her new transformation. I wasn't even sure that was Carmen, but the urge to rescue her was quite strong.

The poison on the Rogue's body had spread to his neck. He was running at a high speed, one that couldn't even be stopped by the fiery whirlwind above us.

Recalling that there was another anomaly, I looked up Wait... The whirlwind was moving.

"Argghh!" A loud growl brought me back to reality.

The Rogue was just one metre away from Carmen as he stretched forth his left claw to end her life.

At that moment, the flicker of hope left in my heart vanished instantly. My knees began to tremble as my steps slowed down. The reality of how weak I was finally dawned on me.

I couldn't help but ask myself. "Was this how things were going to end for me?"

Suddenly, a gentle breeze blew, causing a feeling of serenity to surge through my veins. Strangel

  • MARKED BY THE ALPHA'S CURSE   THE UPPER HAND

    Killian's POVI couldn’t understand a damn thing. This wizard was Selene’s father.How?It didn’t make sense. But one thing I knew I didn’t have the time to demand answers. Not now. From the look in his eyes, Michael wasn’t lying. Still, I didn’t trust him.Michael’s voice broke through. “I’m going to Lucian. I’ll stall him somehow and keep him away from here. You two must complete the ritual in my absence.”Selene nodded slowly, and then she looked back at me. I didn’t need to be told what she was thinking.If Lucian managed to get here, he would want to perform the ritual himself, with Selene.Michael stepped back, his body turning translucent as though preparing to vanish. But before he could disappear, the sound of hooves stomping on the ground grabbed our attention.Selene’s eyes widened as we both turned toward the noise. My muscles coiled instantly.Out of the trees, a figure broke through, riding a black horse.It was Lucian. A handful of men rode close behind him, causing

  • MARKED BY THE ALPHA'S CURSE   THE MAN YOU'RE UP AGAINST

    Selene's POV“You are my daughter.”For a moment, I just stood there, my heart racing in my chest. What does that even mean? My fists clenched at my sides. “Your daughter?” I scoffed. “What the hell does that even mean? I don’t even know my father.”“Exactly,” he said.My breath hitched. He leaned closer, yet I still couldn't see his face under that hood. “You don’t know your father… because I am your father, Selene.”I froze. A cold laugh escaped me. “This is some sort of trick, isn’t it? Some trap to lure me to Lucian?” I spat the words, glaring at him. “Tell me the truth. You’re with him, aren’t you?”He shook his head slowly. “We are not with Lucian. Like I said, we planned with him, yes but we are not on his side. We are not in support of him destroying the world. I swear it. You are my daughter. My flesh and blood. Your mother is Evelyn.”It felt like the world was spinning. How did he know my mother's name? But then again, my mother has been with Lucian. He probably got her na

  • MARKED BY THE ALPHA'S CURSE   JUST RUN

    Selene's POVAt last, we reached the carriage. The horses stamped nervously, catching the tremors of battle behind us. We climbed in but then the ground rumbled louder.I turned to the window and froze.An endless sea of men surged like a dark flood down the mountain path. My breath stuttered. “So many…”Across from me, Ronan’s face was pale. His eyes widened at the sight of the floating crimson energy.“They’ve got…” he whispered. “Wizards.”He clenched his teeth. “Lucian killed our guards… he killed everyone standing in his way. And now—”He didn’t finish. The truth was written in the horse of men that advanced toward us.The rumble of hooves and shouting men echoed in my ears. I forced myself to look away. Three of them had already leapt from the shadows into the carriage path, while others were closing in fast.Suddenly, I heard a crack as something sliced through the window. I barely had time to duck. An arrow hissed past my ear, so closely. Killian yanked me down, his broad fra

  • MARKED BY THE ALPHA'S CURSE   THE REVELATION

    Selene's POVI had never witnessed anything like this before. Everything went from being plain and empty, to suddenly being filled with vibrance— magical lights. It looked to beautiful to be reality and the moon goddess looked even more beautiful.Her beauty radiated in a way that was both soothing and fascinating. It struck me that we bore the same name—Selene. I couldn’t help but grin at that thought. “Selene” really was a name meant for pretty people.Her voice rang out, reaching everywhere.“Greetings, everyone. Welcome to the sacred ceremony. This is a ceremony that, in the time of our ancestors, was held once every century. But now, it is celebrated every decade, and I am glad to see you all gathered here tonight. The sacred ceremony is open to all creatures—werewolves, witches, fairies. By the end of this night, the child of prophecy will be revealed.”The crowd went quier after her words.The Moon goddess lifted her hand. “Now, to thaw the heat of the ceremony, let the lighti

  • MARKED BY THE ALPHA'S CURSE   NO SLIP -UPS

    Ronan's POVMy heart was racing. The sacred moment was close, closer than I was ready for, and it was my duty to make sure the guard was ready. No slip-ups. My Alpha and Luna had to push through this whole situation, and it was on me to see that nothing got in their way.“You, right wing. You, left wing. You, back. You, front,” I barked, my voice carrying across the courtyard as I gave orders, pointing to each group of guards. They snapped into place immediately, the sound of boots striking ground in unison.I paced before them, my hands behind my back. “When the time comes, the energy of the ceremony will teleport us straight to the sacred mountains. The moment we land, you do not wait for instructions. You take your position exactly as I’ve drilled it into you. Understood?”“Yes, Beta Ronan!” they thundered back.I nodded once, then lifted a hand. “You two, step forward.” My finger pointed on the pair nearest the front line. They moved quickly, and stood before me. “You are the fro

  • MARKED BY THE ALPHA'S CURSE   50 MEN

    Killian's POV.The ride from Lucas Chambers felt like forever, even though I knew the Sacred Mountains were quite far. Selene sat close to me, her hand loosely holding mine. I couldn’t stop my arm from wrapping around her and pulling her closer, until I pressed my lips against her hair. The sweet scent of her made the tension ease from me.But every time I kissed her, every time I held her, it was me trying to shake the fear off of me. Fear of the revelation that would come when she was finally revealed as the child of prophecy. Fear of the ritual I would have to perform and fear of what it might take from me.I was supposed to be the cruel, cold-hearted Alpha. But in this moment, my hands trembled, my chest felt too tight, and all I could do was try to be strong for my mate.The wheels of the carriage groaned before coming to a halt. My head lifted, and I peered through the window. The mountain stood before us, cloaked in fog, its peaks were lost in the clouds. The wind howled down
