ALVINA'S POV:

What is he talking about? Oh goddess, what have I gotten myself into?

“I don't understand a thing, what do you mean by you have finally found me?”. I asked him.

“Can I employ you? I will pay you any amount that you want”. He replied.

“I asked you a question Mr stranger, I expect an answer, I am not that desperate for money”. I replied with a bossy tone.

“Alright, I understand, you have just saved me from my illness. I have been allergic to a woman's touch since I was ten years old, but now, I have been cured by you”. He replied happily.

“That's weird, how sure are you that you have been cured? And what led to the illness?”. I asked him with a curious facial expression.

“My parents said that it just happened, but when they sought the aid of a witch, the witch said that I will be cured but I just need to find the rightful woman to cure me. I never gave much thought about it, but eventually it happened”.

“Oh…is that why you suddenly moved in here? Because you knew I was t

    JADE'S POV:That night, I lay on the bed, my eyes heavy but my mind restless. Alvina turned on her side to face me. Her voice was soft.“Jade,” she whispered, “how do you manage to stay with a man as horrible as my brother?”I blinked at her, confused. “Horrible? The demon lord? So you also think that he is dangerous? Though I am afraid of him, I think he is not that bad. He saved me from my cruel family”Her lips curved into a bitter smile. “Saved you? Or trapped you? You don’t know him like I do.”I frowned. “But… you’re his sister. I thought you were close.”Alvina shook her head slowly. “I only pretend. The truth? I came back not for him, but for you. To save you from him.”My heart thudded. “Save me? From what?”She leaned closer, her voice dropping lower. “From his lies. He hides so much from you. If you stay, you’ll only suffer.”I swallowed hard. “But… he says he loves me. He’s been kind to me.”Alvina grabbed my hand. “Kindness can be a mask. Please, Jade. Trust me. Escape hi

    KIERAN'S POV:I carried Alvina in my arms upstairs. She was lighter than I remembered, weak from her escape, or so I thought. When I pushed the door open, I set her gently on the bed.“You need to freshen up and rest,” I said softly. “Later, I’ll explain everything. For now, just breathe.”Alvina caught my wrist, her eyes wet. “No, brother. Tell me now. What happened to Jade? She looked at me like I was a stranger.”I hesitated. My chest tightened. “Alvina… it is not simple.”She squeezed harder. “I want to know. Please. Tell me everything.”I sat beside her, rubbing my temples. “Very well. But you must keep this between us.”Her voice trembled. “You have my word.”I drew a deep breath. “When Jade and I went to the past world, she lost much. Memories… people… even herself. She does not remember much, and she does not remember us. And worse…” My voice broke. “…our son, Manuel, was trapped there. He is still in that cursed world and I don't know what he is going through right now.”Alvi

    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

    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

    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
