"That wasn't me," Wrath said as we watched Iris walk away.

"What wasn't you?" I growled at him.

"What happened just now," he replied. "Usually, you blame me for doing things that make people think you're an asshole, but it wasn't me just now. That was all you."

"Usually, you influence me with your stupid anger issues!" I snapped at him. "And don't try to blame me for this one. You were there too. Didn't you see how Max was holding Iris? She's our mate! Ours."

"Yeah. I'd rip his head off, but you've stopped me from doing that too many times. Why stop now?"

I sighed, and began to walk towards my house at a slow enough pace so I wouldn't have to run into Iris.

I knew what was happening. I'd scented it on her. I just couldn't understand why it was happening so soon after we found each other.

"She's going into heat," Wrath supplied.

"I know that," I said. "Is it supposed to happen yet? Isn't it supposed to happen at least a month after mates meet? It hasn't even been up to

    "Morwen!" I yelled, pounding on the front door of Morwen's house. "Morwen! Open up!"I didn't care who saw me or what they said. This was one errand I couldn't leave to guards or servants. I had to come here myself. I would go on my knees and beg if I had to. "Morwen!" Just as I raised my fist to pound on the door again, it was pulled open from the inside, and the woman I'd come to see stood there, staring at me."Your Majesty. What is it?" She asked blandly. "Morwen, please... I need your help. Cora... She's in labour and..." I trailed off. I didn't even fully understand what was going on, only that Cora was in danger. "And what?" Morwen asked. "You have a doctor. You don't need my help."She started to close the door. "There's no baby!" I blurted. She froze. "What?" "There's no baby," I repeated. "Or at least the doctor can't find it. She's in labour, Morwen. She's getting weaker, but there's no sign of the baby. It's more than the doctor can handle."Morwen's expression was

  • Spirit bound by the Alpha's curse   CHAPTER 141: QUEEN CORA

    Almost two months had passed since I'd been at death's door.I had no idea what really happened, but according to what Atlas told me, Morwen and the other witches had performed a ritual that was supposed to be forbidden. Everyone thought it was too dangerous, and that either I or my baby wouldn't survive it, but we did. However, since I woke up and recovered, I hadn't seen Morwen. Atlas said she was probably staying away because she had strongly advised against the ritual and didn't know how to face me. She'd also ignored all the letters I sent telling her I wanted to see her and thank her properly. I could technically go and see her myself, but Atlas would have an aneurysm if I even stepped one foot out of the palace. It was like his overprotectiveness had been cranked up a notch after my near brush with death. I rubbed at my lower back, putting more pillows underneath me so I could lean back. My stomach was so large that it felt like I was going to pop any day now, and I was re

    This wasn't supposed to happen. What kind of mate was I if I couldn't save the one woman that was my responsibility, my life? For that matter, what kind of king was I? All my life, I'd never known true powerlessness until now. Until I saw Cora lying helpless in a bed, a bucket beside her and another beside me.The first one was still.emoty because since she passed out, she hadn't woken up to throw up in it, and the one beside me was filled with cold water and a small towel which I used, trying to bring down her fever. It wasn't working. I'd long since sent for a few maids and Morwen. What was the point in keeping them away when it was clear now that all my efforts had been for nothing? After she collapsed, I cleaned my mate up and put her in our bed. She was as pale as a ghost, her dark hair pooled across the pillow providing even more contrast. Goddess. I failed as a man. How could I not have noticed that she was ill, and not just from the pregnancy? Everyone said the plague

    [Three months later] I woke up with my arms around my mate. She was hot. And not in the beauty sense. Temperature wise, she was hot. Leaning on my elbow, I pushed gently on her shoulder so she was lying on her back instead of on her side facing away from me. She was still asleep, but there was a small frown on her face, almost as if she was in pain. With the back of my hand, I felt her head, then her neck. My heart began to pound. She had a fever. Even though she'd become increasingly weak and nauseous with the pregnancy, this was the first time she actually felt feverish. Images of the worst began to race through my mind. In the past few months, victims of the plague had increased, and every day, a large number of people died. Both the werewolf doctors and the witch healers hadn't found a cure or anything even close yet. The disease just kept growing, unchecked, with no one having an idea of how it was transferred. I'd shut the palace down, quarantining everyone in

    When Morwen returned the next day, it was with more bad news. "There's been reports of the outbreak of a disease," she said as she walked into the office Atlas and I used. "A disease?" Atlas asked, obviously surprised. "What disease? Who does it affect?" "No one knows what it is," she replied. "But so far, we've had five reports in just one day. Two of them are wolves. The others are witches.""That's impossible," Atlas and I said at the same time. "Werewolves don't get sick." Apparently," Morwen said, "they do now. It's odd, and like nothing we witches have seen before. We do get sick sometimes. According to what I've heard, it starts with a fever, and slowly deteriorates into the patient coughing up blood. The disease progresses fast, eating at the patient until they're nothing more than a husk of bones and dried flesh. Our healers have tried everything. Nothing seems to work." I frowned. "And this disease is totally new? Nothing the witches have ever experienced before?" She

    "Here." Atlas slid his plate across the table until it rested in front of me, picking up mine at the same time. Mine contained a thick, uncut steak, while his contained the same, but cut into bite sized pieces, with a good helping of vegetables on the side. "Eat up." I pouted at him, gazing at the vegetables with distaste. "You know I don't like those." "I know," my mate agreed, a small smile on his lips. "But you have to eat them. I'll feed them to you if you won't eat." He picked up my fork and held it up to my lips trying to get me to eat. Obligingly, I opened my mouth and let him put them in. The guards at the door and the maids bringing in the dishes acted like they couldn't see us. After years of seeing their King and Queen acting like teenagers drunk on love, they had pretty much gotten used to it. "They're good, right?" Atlas asked. "No." I spoke with my mouth full. "They're not good." He speared a few veggies with his fork and brought them to his mouth too, then shru
