Chapter 34

Rosalie’s POV

Finally! A sigh escaped my lips.

By the time I was finished with the last toilet, my arms felt like jelly. My knees ached from scrubbing, and my fingers were broken.

I smelled like I had just crawled through the sewers but alas I was done with my punishment.

I dragged my body down the hallway, my limbs screaming with every step. All I wanted was to collapse after a bath.

After a long, hard scrub.

Today's experience just made me grow more respect for the servants cleaning this mansion.

Before heading back to my room, I made a detour to the equipment room. Tucked beneath an old mop bucket, wrapped in a ragged towel, was the book I’d hidden earlier, the one Elerein had made me snatch from the library.

It was heavier than I remembered.

I pressed it to my chest and headed for my room, not stopping until the door was locked behind me.

Peeling off my filthy clothes, I headed for the bathroom. The water wasn’t as hot as I liked, but it still felt like heaven. I let

  • Married To The crippled Alpha    chapter 36

    Chapter 36Nathan's POVI had nothing to be guilty about.Rosalie was a grown woman; she wouldn't do anything to jeopardize her life just so she could heal me...That's the lie I've been feeding myself this past week. I had once tried to warn her, but the moment she brought up the one thing I desperately wanted, no… needed.I became selfish.Still, I tried to convince myself I was being paranoid. The warning from my dad, despite being a prick, his perceptive skills were impeccable.Not only that, but the warning from my wolf and her demeanor, frankly, haf changed.She looked distracted, and the guards I instructed to look after her reported she spoke to herself too many times to count.But still, I said nothing, especially since the race to the throne was coming to an end, and I was on the verge of losing my mind.The only thing that kept me sane was Rosalie's promise, so I wanted nothing to stand in her way.Deep down, I knew whatever the threat was, it was related to helping me walk

  • Married To The crippled Alpha    chapter 35

    Chapter 35Rosalie’s POVIt's been a week.I had been mentally preparing myself for this, we had gone through everything and still looking at the full moon I wasn't ready.In as much as we made our own preparations the pack also celebrated. The new Alpha was to be crowned.Nathan, Brad and I were listed off to help with the preparations for the coronation. The new future Luna was already pulling her weight.I had never seen her so anxious she badly needed everything to go well and kept me on surveillance.Elerein had already warned me about the guards who had been following me so I had to be cautious.I limited my visit in Nathan's room, not like we were making progress anyway. This might just be our last hope and I couldn't screw it up.“You're ready?” Elerein voiced beside me in a formal tone. Everyone was on edge.We had one shot so we had to make it count.Not trusting my voice, I nodded then walked to the center of my room.Slowly, I formed the circle.Every night this past week

    Chapter 33Nathan’s POV“Watch your tone,” my father warned. “I am still your father.”I laughed out bitterly. “No. You stopped being my father the day I broke my legs and you looked at me like I was worthless. Like I’d failed you.”“You failed yourself boy, I don't understand how you always pick a fight with me all I did was to come warn you about your wife.”His jaw tightened, but I didn’t care. I’d swallowed my pride for too long, stayed quiet through every dismissal, every condescending glance. I was done.“You only care about Rosalie because she doesn’t fall in line,” I said. “She’s unpredictable, and that scares the hell out of you. You can’t control her like you controlled Mother.”His nostrils flared. “That’s enough—”“No, it’s not.” I pushed forward, every word from my mouth carrying the weight of everything I hadn’t said since the accident. “You resent what you can’t control. You always have. Isn't that why you loathe me so much because I was declared to be your powerful Lyc

  • Married To The crippled Alpha    chapter 32

    Author's POV BRADTalk about perfect timing.He didn't expect to introduce Cleo the moment she arrived but since Rosalie was here why wait.He held Cleo a little tighter than necessary, hoping to make it believable. While Cleo did her part flawlessly, her arms looped around his arm like she belonged there, and he did his best to smile. His eyes, however, betrayed him. They kept flicking back to Rosalie, catching the barely-there flicker of hurt in her expression before she blinked it away.“That's nice,” she commented.That expression lingered in his mind far longer than it should have.Since that night… the night he planned a surprise and Rosalie had been avoiding him. He couldn’t shake the feeling he had crossed a line, said too much, or let something show that shouldn’t have. Nathan was his best friend, even if their marriage was arranged. Brad had no business forming deeper feelings for Rosalie.But he couldn’t help it. And he couldn’t bear the thought of losing her friendship

    Chapter 31Rosalie’s POV As if a switch had been flipped, I was suddenly me again. “Guess my time is up” Elerein mumbled before me and I almost glared at her.Almost.But my eyes were locked in the deadly stare of the Alpha. If looks could kill I would have been six feet under.I stumbled back half a step, disoriented, just in time to see Daphne drop to the ground in a dramatic heap.She burst into sobs.“I—I didn’t even do anything,” she wailed, clutching her cheek. “She just attacked me!”Of course at a time like this the Alpha had to show up, how much of this had he seen, she was the one who attacked first, I was acting in self defense.Hell, I didn't do anything.Elerein had slapped her, not me. But try explaining to other people that a ghost possessed your body to defend your honor.The Alpha’s shoes thundered against the floor as he stormed toward us, his expression dark filled with venom.“What the hell do you think you’re doing?” he thundered.I took a step back. “Alpha, I—”

    Chapter 30Rosalie's POV“An archive this big should have that spell,” Elerein said as she drifted through the dusty aisles of the pack library. We have been at the library since the merge failed; Elerein thought of searching for a spell or vial to help my body be compatible or whatever it was she meant.I was a little bit distracted, the encounter with my wolf consumed me a little. The thought I even had a wolf was astonishing and she tried to warn me about something.I tried speaking to her since then but it didn't work out, it was like she had vanished just as she had appeared which made me wonder if I just imagined it.Maybe Elerein would know what it meant, even if it was just for a second she did possess my body and that was when I saw the wolf.“Elerein?” I began speaking when she pointed at a book.She turned elated. “That’s the one, get it.”I shrugged off the question hoping to return to it later. We had more pressing matters so I did my best to push back the thought and fo

  • Married To The crippled Alpha    chapter 29

    Chapter 29Rosalie's POV It took a moment to snap out of my daze. I didn't expect this outcome. Tiptoeing over the bottles, I walked towards where he was wasted.“Nathan?” I dropped to my knees beside him. His skin was pale, flushed with an unhealthy pink, and his clothes were twisted like he’d been fighting.I had never seen him disorganized.“Help me get him up,” I told Elerein instinctively before remembering she couldn’t touch him. “I can't, a spirit, remember?” she said while twinkling her fingers.With a grunt, I hooked my arms under his and tried to lift. “Come on, Nathan, you're an Alpha twice my size help me here” It took every bit of strength I had but I finally got him upright and into his wheelchair.His head lolled, barely lifted as his bloodshot eyes blinked open. For a moment, recognition sparked.Then he shoved me weakly, but enough to sting.“Go away…” he slurred. “You all are useless and stupid. Just leave me alone…”I ignored him and turned away, heading to the be

  • Married To The crippled Alpha    chapter 28

    CHAPTER 28Rosalie’s POV“Cursed?” I mused aloud. I had never thought about that possibility, maybe that was why powerful healers couldn’t do anything about it.But she was hinting that I couldn’t either. Was this a lost cause?No! I refused to believe that. There had to be a way.“Isn’t there a way to break the curse?” I questioned with my fingers crossed.“Unfortunately it's a very powerful spell. What you’re asking is to be strong enough in a month to break a curse that had been perfected for decades. With the little mana you possess, it’s most likely impossible”It was like she threw a rock and shattered my hopes to smithereens, my legs couldn’t keep me upright anymore. I collapsed on the bed, my mind reeling.She quickly hovered next to me.“Oh Rosalie, don’t be sad. If we had more time, I’m sure you’ll be strong enough to heal your boyfriend”If she was alive I would have strangled her to death, she didn’t know how much this meant to me.It wasn’t about healing Nathan; this w
