SHADOW OF THE PAST: THE CURSED ALPHA Chapter 186: The Pawn
MELANIE’S POV:After I disappeared from Kieran's study I appeared in a shadowed chamber, far from Kieran’s eyes. A figure waited there, cloaked, hidden. Someone Kieran would never suspect.“You came,” the figure whispered.I smiled, slow and sharp. “Of course. I always keep my promises.”The figure bowed slightly. “Why call me here tonight?”“Because,” I purred, “Kieran almost kissed her, but Kieran doesn't know that I have more weapons around him, and they are all his trusted people. I had the person stop them before they could kiss each other”.The figure stiffened. “Jade?”“Yes.” My voice dripped with venom. “He leaned in, like a desperate fool. If their lips had touched, her heart might have softened toward him again.”“And you don’t want that,” the figure said quietly.My laugh was cold. “Of course not. Love makes her strong. Doubt makes her weak. And I prefer her weak.”The figure tilted their head. “So what do you need me to do?”“Make sure it never happens again,” I said firml
SHADOW OF THE PAST: THE CURSED ALPHA Chapter 185: A Little Spark Of Affection
KIERAN'S POV:“I know,” I whispered. “And that’s what makes her dangerous. I am helpless about the whole situation”.I clenched my fists. “She’s back… and stronger.”Metatron’s eyes glowed faintly, his hands folding behind him. “Yes. And she will not stop until she destroys you and Jade.”I paced across the study, the floor creaking under my boots. “I cannot let that happen. I will protect her with all I've got.”Metatron stepped closer. “Protect? Or possess?”I froze, my jaw tight. “You know my heart, Metatron. Do not question it.”His gaze was steady. “I do know your heart, Kieran. That is why I warn you. Melanie feeds on weakness. She saw Jade’s fear of you, and she will use it.”I slammed my hand on the desk. “What choice did I have? The maids disobeyed me. If Jade had overheard too much—”“Still,” Metatron cut in, “her heart sees cruelty, not protection. Melanie’s words were not lies.”I turned away, chest burning. “She hates me already, I can feel it. And yet I cannot let her go
SHADOW OF THE PAST: THE CURSED ALPHA Chapter 184: Helpless
KIERAN'S POV:Jade’s eyes pinned me the moment she asked, her voice was sharp.“Who is Melanie?”The name struck me like lightning. For a moment, I froze. But I forced my face to calm down.“Melanie?” I repeated slowly. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”Her brows pulled together. “Don’t lie. I heard it. In my dream.”I shook my head firmly. “You’re mistaken. I don’t know anyone by that name.”She studied me closely, suspicion burning in her eyes. I kept my voice steady, softer this time.“Jade… please. Stop suspecting me. I have no bad intentions toward you.”Her shoulders tensed, but her expression wavered. She half-believed, half-doubted. I reached out carefully, brushing her arm.“Trust me. You are safe with me.”Her lips pressed into a thin line. At last she sighed and looked away. “Fine. I’ll stop asking, for now.”Relief loosened my chest. I stood. “Good. Rest. I’ll leave you.”I walked to the door, opened it, and stepped outside. Rita and June stood waiting, their heads
SHADOW OF THE PAST: THE CURSED ALPHA Chapter 183: “Who Is Melanie?”
JADE'S POV:I sat on the bed, hugging my knees. My mind wouldn’t stop spinning.The dream about the little boy. Kieran’s harshness with the maids. His words about killing me. His claim of loving me. None of it made sense.I rubbed my forehead. “Who was that boy?” I whispered to myself. “Why does he keep calling me?”A sudden knock on the door made me jump. My chest tightened.“Who is it?” I asked sharply.“It’s us, my lady,” came Rita’s voice.“June and Rita,” June added softly.I let out a breath of relief. “Come in.”The door opened and the two girls walked inside. Their heads were lowered, and they knelt immediately.“My lady,” Rita said, her voice trembling. “Thank you for saving us.”June’s eyes were red, as if she had been crying. “You risked your life for us. We are forever grateful.”I stood quickly and went to them. “Stand up. Don’t kneel to me. Please.”They shook their heads. “We cannot, my lady,” June whispered. “You saved us. We owe you everything.”I sighed and touched t
SHADOW OF THE PAST: THE CURSED ALPHA Chapter 182: Love Like A Chain
JADE'S POV:As I stood with him, I couldn't help but be afraid. He looked so frightening.I managed to get away from his grip and then ran again.I ran down the hall, but his steps were faster. “Jade, stop!” Kieran’s voice echoed behind me.“No!” I gasped, pushing harder.A strong hand grabbed my wrist and spun me around. I crashed into his chest. His grip was firm, and unshakable.“Let me go!” I cried, struggling.He looked down at me, his eyes burning but soft at the same time. “Why are you running from me?”“Because you’re dangerous,” I spat, glaring up at him. “I heard everything that you said earlier.”His jaw tightened. “It’s not what you think.”“Then tell me what you meant,” I said bitterly.He held my arms tighter. “Because the world is cruel, Jade. And if I don’t fight, everyone I care about will die. You—” He stopped himself, breathing heavily. “You’re safe with me. Always.”I forced myself to still, though my heart still hammered. “Safe with you…” I repeated, pretending t
SHADOW OF THE PAST: THE CURSED ALPHA Chapter 181: Running For My Dear Life
JADE'S POV:The darkness pressed around me.I was in the woods. The wind howled, and the trees groaned. Somewhere ahead, I heard crying.“Please… help me!”A small boy stood in the shadows. His hair was messy, his face wet with tears. His little hands shook as he reached toward me.“I’m afraid of the dark,” he sobbed. “Don’t leave me. Please, pull me out before the tunnel takes me!”I looked down and saw a dark hole opening under him. A tunnel. It pulled at his legs like a monster.“No! Give me your hand!” I cried.I stretched out my arm. My fingers almost touched his.“Help me!” His voice broke, filled with fear.But before I could grab him, the tunnel swallowed him whole. His scream echoed, then vanished.“NO!” I shouted, reaching into the empty dark.My eyes flew open.I was lying in a big bed, bigger than anything I had ever seen. My clothes were damp with sweat, my heart was also racing.“Who was that boy?” I whispered to myself. “Why did he want me?”I wiped my face and swung my
