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 the rhythmic thud of heavy boots pacing the hallway, a constant, unrelenting back-and-forth that made me feel like I was truly in a secure cell for the very first time.

  • Mated To The Cursed Alpha    Yes, please

    Mira's povThe next morning came way too quickly. My body still ached a bit from everything, but there was absolutely no way I was missing this meeting. I stood in front of the long mirror in our bedroom, pulling a clean black jacket over my shoulders and smoothing down the front.Rowan walked up behind me, his large hands coming to rest on my waist. He looked at my reflection with a serious expression. "Are you completely sure you are ready for this? The council room is going to be a total zoo today.""I'm completely sure," I told him, turning around in his grip so I could look him straight in the eyes. "We've been fighting for this exact day for months, Rowan. I'm not sitting upstairs while you lay down the law by yourself. We do this together."Rowan smiled, leaning down to press a quick kiss against my forehead. "Together. Let's go."We walked down the long, grand hallway toward the main council chamber. Tobias and Dara were already waiting for us outside the massive oak doors, ea

    Mira's povThe next morning, I refused to stay in that bed for another second. Elara checked my vitals three times and tried to argue with me, but I just ignored her, got dressed in my usual dark clothes, and told Rowan we were going downstairs right now. He did not like it one bit, but he knew better than to try and stop me when my mind was completely made up.We walked down into the dark cells beneath the castle, the stone walls damp and cold against my skin. Tobias was already waiting for us outside Brennan's heavy metal cell door, holding a ring of keys in his hand."He still hasn't touched a single bite of his food," Tobias told us, his voice echoing slightly in the narrow hallway. "He just sits there like he expects us to beg him for his secrets.""Open the door, Tobias," I said, my voice completely flat.Tobias nodded, slid the heavy iron key into the lock, and turned it with a loud click. Rowan pushed the door open, and we both stepped inside the small, gray room.Brennan was

  • Mated To The Cursed Alpha    Healing touch

    Rowan's POVThe door clicked shut behind Tobias, and the room fell back into that peaceful quiet I’d been clinging to for days. I let out a long breath, the tension in my shoulders easing as I looked down at my mate and our daughter. Mira was still propped against the pillows, Lyra nestled securely against her chest like she belonged there—which she did. The sight of them together like this, both of them safe and whole, hit me harder than any battle ever had.I moved around the bed slowly, careful not to jostle anything, and climbed in beside Mira. The mattress dipped under my weight, but she only smiled, shifting just enough to lean into me. Her body was still warm from sleep, softer now that the fever and poison were gone. I wrapped one arm around her shoulders, pulling her gently against my side while my other hand rested over Lyra’s tiny back.“You sure you’re ready to handle Brennan tomorrow?” I asked quietly, my thumb stroking slow circles along Mira’s arm.She nodded, her che

  • Mated To The Cursed Alpha    After everything

    Mira's povThree days later, I woke up. The heavy fog in my brain was totally gone.I blinked against the soft light filtering through the window and looked around. Rowan was fast asleep in the oversized chair right beside my bed. Our daughter was sprawled out asleep on his chest, her tiny head tucked right under his chin. Both of them were breathing slowly, their chests rising and falls in perfect sync in the early morning quiet. Honestly, the entire sight of them sitting there like that made my chest ache in the absolute best possible way.I did not move. I just lay there flat on my back and watched them for a long time before either of them even noticed I was awake. I wanted to freeze this moment in my mind forever. Rowan's eyes opened first, the way they always do. It was like some part of his brain was always monitoring the room and keeping guard even when he was dead tired and fast asleep. His gaze snapped straight to mine. The sheer amount of pure relief that crossed his fac

  • Mated To The Cursed Alpha    The cost

    Elara's povI had hoped I was wrong. I had been hoping for the last hour that I was completely wrong and that what I was monitoring would just stabilize on its own so I would not have to say this out loud to them. I wanted more than anything for the numbers to change, for her heart rate to smooth out, and for the internal bleeding to just stop without me having to break their hearts right after such a beautiful moment.But I was not wrong. The monitors did not lie, and my own instincts were never off when it came to things this serious.I looked at Rowan, my heart heavy but my face completely serious. I needed to tell him quietly and directly because he deserved that. He was the Alpha, he was her mate, and he needed the truth without any sugarcoating."Rowan, we have a situation," I said, my voice barely above a whisper so I would not scare Mira, though I knew she could probably see the panic in my shoulders anyway. "The poison damage that complicated the labor has left Mira's system

  • Mated To The Cursed Alpha    So tiny!

    Mira's povI heard the cry before I even saw her. That small, furious sound completely cut through everything else in the room. It cut through the thick exhaustion that made my limbs feel like lead, through the lingering stabs of pain, and through the terrifying fear that had been gripping my chest for hours. The moment that sharp noise hit my ears, I started crying before I even realized what I was doing. Warm tears just started spilling over my eyelashes and running down my temples into my hair.Elara moved quickly but carefully, lifting the tiny bundle up. "Here she is," Elara said, her voice thick with emotion as she placed the baby right onto my bare chest.I looked down at my daughter for the very first time, and the entire world went completely quiet. All the noise, the rushing of blood in my ears, and the frantic thoughts in my head just vanished into nothing.She was perfect. She was so small and red and looked completely furious about being out in the cold world, her tiny

    MIRAThe hours after Isla left felt like an eternity. Every time a shadow moved across the floor, I jumped, convinced she was coming back to finish what she started. I sat on the edge of the bed, my fingers tracing the sharp edges of the letter hidden in my skirt.Finally, the sound I’d been prayin
