He stood up and helped her to her feet, his hand never leaving hers. “What are we waiting for then? Let’s go tell my parents right now. The Alpha and Luna should hear about our decision to marry as soon as possible.”

Selene blinked, caught off guard by his eagerness. “Right now?” she asked, a nervous laugh escaping her. “Isn’t it a bit too fast? We only just… I mean, yesterday you…”

Kai cupped her cheek gently, his thumb brushing away a stray tear from her eye. “I know I hurt you yesterday, and

  • THE ALPHA'S CURSED BRIDE    The Vulnerable King

    Chapter 46The grand hall was unusually tense that afternoon as members of the pack council gathered around the long oak table that dominated the center of the room. Ministers, commanders, and senior warriors filled their seats one by one, their low conversations echoing beneath the high vaulted ceiling before gradually fading into silence. At the head of the table sat Kai, his posture straight and commanding despite the exhaustion hidden behind his eyes, while Selene occupied the seat beside him. Although she kept her expression calm, she could feel the weight of countless stares pressing against her from every direction. Some were merely curious, others openly skeptical, and a few carried enough hostility to make the hairs on the back of her neck stand on end.The meeting began with routine reports concerning trade routes, patrol schedules, and border activity, but it wasn't long before the discussion shifted toward the growing rogue problem. One of the ministers rose from his seat,

  • THE ALPHA'S CURSED BRIDE    His Warmth

    Selene slipped back into the royal chamber as quietly as possible, carefully pushing the door shut behind her and releasing a slow breath. The room was dark except for the moonlight streaming through the tall windows, painting pale silver patterns across the floor and furniture. For a brief moment, relief washed through her when her eyes landed on the large bed.Maybe Kai was asleep.Maybe she had returned before he noticed she was gone. After everything that had happened in the forest, she wasn't in the mood for another argument, and all she wanted was to crawl into bed and rest.That small hope lasted only a second. The mate bond brushed against her senses, strong and restless, sending an uneasy feeling through her chest. It was as if something in the room was waiting for her.Slowly, she lifted her gaze. Kai was sitting on the edge of the bed. He wasn't asleep. He wasn't even pretending to be.He sat there in silence, his elbows resting on his knees as he watched her from across th

    The moon hung high in the sky, casting a soft silver glow over the palace grounds. Selene moved quietly through the back corridors, her dark cloak wrapped tightly around her shoulders. Her heart beat fast, but she forced herself to stay calm as she made her way through the sleeping palace.She had waited until Kai was completely asleep, his breathing slow and steady beside her in the royal chamber. Even now, the mate bond tugged at her, making her aware of him no matter how hard she tried to ignore it. But tonight, she had something more important on her mind.She needed answers.Ever since the strange power awakened inside her, she had been living with questions and fear. She didn't understand what was happening to her, and she was tired of pretending everything was normal.Slipping through a side door, she headed toward the edge of the forest. The night was quiet except for the sound of crickets and the rustling leaves above her. Soon, she reached a small clearing hidden between the

    The door to the royal chamber flew open with a loud bang, startling the maids outside. Before anyone could stop her, Elara stormed into the room, her face burning with anger. She had barely waited for the carriage to return from the orphanage before coming straight here.Selene was sitting quietly by the window with a book resting on her lap. The warm evening breeze drifted through the open windows, gently moving the curtains, but the peaceful atmosphere disappeared the moment Elara entered.Selene slowly lifted her eyes from the page, her expression calm as she watched Elara march toward her.Elara stopped a few steps away, her chest rising and falling with every angry breath she took. Her hands were tightly clenched at her sides, and her eyes were filled with hatred."You caused all this!" she shouted, her voice echoing through the chamber. "Ever since you came back into Kai's life, everything has been falling apart. The pack has turned against me, Kai barely looks at me anymore, an

    Zack walked into the garden a few minutes later, carrying a small basket filled with more colored pencils."I thought you little artists might need these," he said with a smile as he placed the basket on one of the tables.The children's eyes lit up."Thank you, Beta Zack!""I want the blue one!""No, I saw it first!""There's enough for everyone," Zack said with a chuckle. "Don't fight over them."He looked at Selene, who was helping a little girl finish drawing a butterfly."I see they're keeping you busy.""They always do," Selene replied with a smile. "But I don't mind."Zack nodded before reaching for a sheet of paper. "Mind if I join you?""Not at all." Just as he was about to pull a chair closer, Kai calmly picked up the basket of pencils and placed it beside Selene."I think she'll need these," he said.Zack looked at the empty space that had just disappeared and couldn't help smiling to himself."I'll sit over there instead." He walked to another table where a group of older

    The carriage rolled to a stop in front of the orphanage, and before the coachman could climb down to open the door, several children who had been playing in the courtyard spotted it from a distance."Luna Selene!" one of them shouted excitedly, dropping the ball in his hands. "Luna Selene is here!"His voice caught everyone's attention, and in the next second, the peaceful courtyard became lively as the children ran toward the entrance together. Some were barefoot, some were still holding the toys they had been playing with, and a few older children hurried after the younger ones to stop them from falling in their excitement.The carriage door opened, and Selene had barely stepped onto the ground before the children surrounded her."Luna Selene, you really came!" A little girl hugged her waist so tightly that Selene laughed and wrapped an arm around her shoulders."I told everyone you would come back," the little girl said proudly. "They didn't believe me."Selene smiled and gently pi

    Selene walked slowly through the palace gardens, the hem of her expensive new gown brushing against the grass. Everywhere she went, maids and servants bowed deeply the moment they saw her.“Good morning, Lady Selene.” “Your Highness.” “May the Moon Goddess bless you.”Each bow, each respectful

    Selene sat on the cold marble floor of the hallway for what felt like hours.The thin silk nightgown offered no protection against the chill that had seeped into her bones. Her arms were wrapped tightly around her knees, and her forehead rested against them. Silent tears had long since stopped fall

    The next day dawned bright and clear, but Selene felt nothing but exhaustion. Her eyes were still puffy from crying through the night. The mate bond throbbed painfully in her chest like a fresh wound that refused to close. Yet she dragged herself out of bed and reported for duty like always. She ha

  • THE ALPHA'S CURSED BRIDE    Misunderstood

    Just as Selene was returning from serving the Alpha and Luna, carrying an empty tray, Kai appeared suddenly from a side path. He grabbed her arm roughly and dragged her into a secluded corner behind a tall hedge, away from prying eyes.Selene gasped in shock, nearly dropping the tray. “P-Prince Kai
