MIRA'S POV

Corvin said I should not be out of bed.

He listed the reasons — the residual toxin still clearing my system, the strain on the pregnancy, the fact that two days of unconsciousness was not something a body simply walked away from without consequence.

I told him I understood all of that and I was going anyway.

He looked at Rowan. Rowan looked back at him with an expression that said clearly he was not going to be the one to stop me, and Corvin exhaled through his nose and went to get t

  • Mated To The Cursed Alpha    Isla’s return

    MIRA'S POVCorvin said I should not be out of bed.He listed the reasons — the residual toxin still clearing my system, the strain on the pregnancy, the fact that two days of unconsciousness was not something a body simply walked away from without consequence.I told him I understood all of that and I was going anyway.He looked at Rowan. Rowan looked back at him with an expression that said clearly he was not going to be the one to stop me, and Corvin exhaled through his nose and went to get the wheelchair he had been hoping not to need.I accepted the wheelchair. That was my concession and it was the only one I was making.~~~They brought Isla to a secure room on the second floor — not a cell, but close enough in feel. Stone walls, one window too narrow to be useful, a table and two chairs and guards stationed outside and inside the door. Rowan walked beside me and said nothing about the chair or the pace or any of it, which I appreciated more than I would have said out loud.When

  • Mated To The Cursed Alpha    Breaking through

    ROWAN'S POVI had been trying to find the right moment to say it for two days.While she was unconscious, I had rehearsed it more times than I could count — sitting in that chair with her hand in mine and the healing chamber quiet around me, going over the words until they felt like something I could actually say out loud without the usual mechanisms of control getting in the way. I had had a lot of time to think. Too much, maybe.But now she was awake and looking at me and the rehearsed version was gone, so I said the real version instead."When you were seizing," I said. "When Corvin was working and your body was fighting the treatment and I didn't know which way it was going to go." I looked at our hands. "All of it — the distance, the careful check-ins, the guilt I'd been carrying around like it was something noble — it felt like the stupidity it was. For the first time since I brought you here, I couldn't dress it up into anything reasonable."Mira watched me and didn't speak."I

  • Mated To The Cursed Alpha    Awakening

    MIRA'S POVMy consciousness returned slowly, trying to slowly making pieces sense of what had happened and where I was. I heard the sound first. Voices somewhere at a distance, lowly speaking, the particular murmur of healers going about their work. Then the smell of herbs, something bitter underneath something clean, the specific air of a room that had been occupied for a long time without being aired out. Then pain, spreading and general, the kind that doesn't have a single point of origin because it's coming from everywhere at once and has been doing so long enough to feel like the baseline rather than the interruption.Then warmth, the hands around mine, rough and warm and still.I worked on opening my eyes. It took longer than it should have.The ceiling of the healing chamber came into focus first, then the lamp on the table to my left, then the figure in the chair beside the bed with his forearms resting on the edge of the mattress and both hands wrapped around mine.Rowan lo

  • Mated To The Cursed Alpha    Unraveling

    TOBIAS'S POVI had been at this table for two hours before Rowan arrived.The evidence from Vessa's chambers was extensive — more than I had expected when the search team first brought back the box. I had gone through everything twice before I was ready to present it, because I wanted to be certain I understood what I was looking at before I put it in front of Rowan. Getting this wrong was not an option.By the time he came through the door, I had it all laid out in order.He stood at the edge of the table and looked at it. His jaw was set and his arms were folded and he didn't touch anything yet, just looked at the spread of letters and documents the way you look at something you already know is going to be bad before you start reading."Walk me through it," he said.I started from the left. "Correspondence between Vessa and at least six court members. Some of it goes back over a year." I moved along the table. "These are strategy documents — specific plans to undermine your author

  • Mated To The Cursed Alpha    Poison

    ROWAN'S POVI killed Vessa quickly and I won't account for it further than that.Then I was across the room as Mira was sliding down the wall and I caught her before she reached the floor.Her weight against my chest was too light as it had been too light since I first carried her into Helena's castle and since the river.I had been telling myself it was the pregnancy taking from her body but now I understood what had actually been taking from her body for weeks.Her hands were shaking in mine with her eyes being open but the focus in them was wrong.It was present but distant like looking through glass as I told her to stay with me.She blinked and said she was here then I told her to stay here.Elara was already moving despite the wound in her shoulder as she pressed a cloth to it with one hand and reached into her belt kit with the other.She looked at me over Mira's head with an expression that told me to move fast and not ask questions.She called for the master healer and told m

  • Mated To The Cursed Alpha    Assassin

    MIRA'S POVElara moved faster than I expected her to as she put herself between me and the figure with both arms out.She was blocking and said something sharp that I didn't fully hear because the figure was already moving with a blade that came sideways.The steel caught Elara's shoulder as it was not a killing blow but an obstacle removal.Elara made a sound that I felt in my chest then she went down hard against the bedframe.I called her name but there was no time as the figure was still moving and I was the target.I felt my wolf rise with it being not clean and not controlled but just raw and immediate and desperate then I moved.We collided and the impact sent both of us into the writing table.It went over with a crash that I hoped was loud enough for someone in the corridor to hear through a closed door over their own dying as the figure was stronger than me.They were significantly stronger and I felt it in the first second of contact with the difference in mass and training

  • Mated To The Cursed Alpha    You are scaring me

    Mira’s POVThe click of the lock felt like the loudest sound in the world, a definitive, echoing finality. I leaned my back against the heavy wood of the door, my legs finally giving out completely as I slid down until my knees hit my chest. I was shaking uncontrollably. Not just a little tremor in

    Mira’s POV I woke up to the sound of low, unfamiliar, and professional voices vibrating through the heavy door. It wasn't the usual light banter or bored silence of the guards who had grown used to my silent presence. These new voices were hard, professional, and entirely new to me. I could hear

  • Mated To The Cursed Alpha    The law would be on my side

    Finn’s POVThe shadows in my study seemed to stretch and crawl, growing impossibly long as the fire in the hearth died down to a dull, angry orange. I didn't sit. I couldn't allow myself to sit. I paced the entire length of the floor, my boots rhythmic against the dark wood—back and forth, back and

    MIRA'S POVThe day had fully transitioned into afternoon when the healer arrived, just as Finn had promised. The sun’s rays had shifted from a pale orange to a deep red, seeping through the window and splashing across the marble floor.The moment Finn flung the door open and stalked in, I froze. He
