THE COLD CURSED ALHPA’S HYBRID MATE

Aurora's POV "Oh goddess, will you stop crying Aurora?" Aunt Celeste snapped at me, "You are 16 already and more than old enough to be married! You're lucky that you even have somebody who wants you even with all your…issues…" The other women in the room whispered amongst themselves as my aunt aggressively combed my hair into a bun while the tears gathered in pools at the corners of my eyes. Today was my mating ceremony.And my future mate? Well, he was closer to a living artifact than a man but everyone was hollering about how lucky I was and wouldn't stop. I had no say in the matter. My mother had fallen into a coma a few months back, the accident triggered my wolf and I finally was able to transform. I thought that my family would finally accept me, that they would appreciate me.Sadly that wasn't the case. Instead, I was displayed like an item at an auction to be toast to the highest bidder. Within a few weeks, he appeared to be already one foot in the grave with the creepi

Aurora's POV Every step I took towards that man he appeared more rugged and unappealing to the eyes, and by the time I finally looked him face-to-face he seemed ready to wither away as he recited the vows he must have learned earlier coughing in between every syllable that was when he was not licking his lips lecherously.It took everything inside of me not to burst into tears. My family made up more than half of the guests here and none of them were going to stand up to help, to stop this madness. Time seemed to blur until the Elder was shooting daggers at me, it was my turn to say "I do' to solidly cement my life with a man that was already slipping out of his. Heated tears began to gather in the corner of my eyes, but I refused to let them fall. Reflexively my gaze turned around the crowd as if I expected someone to save me.Then it stopped in its tracks when I saw him. The Alpha sonLucian.Could he help me?Would he?I sent a plea with my eyes, he seemed conflicted for a se

Aurora's POV There was a silence that followed so stiff it was hard to breathe in and a lump forming in my throat, my movements becoming shaky. But Ragnar was quick to defend me. "Colt, this is why I always tell you never to skip your lessons. How could you possibly sense wolf energy from somebody possessing such a unique aura? Clearly, you were mistaken,"Colt wavered."I suppose you're right Uncle Ragnar, and if she really is your daughter…. There's no way she could be a wolf you hate them more than the rest of us combined,"I nearly stopped there that would have been enough to expose me but I kept moving, my heart pounding with every step. The dispute between wolves and witches had gone on for generations, nobody even knew what caused it. All of it was simply a cycle of revenge. They took from us. So we had to take from them too. If Ragnar hated wolves so much, then was this a trap? However, he knew so much about my mother. The simple data of a dismissible gamma family. She

Auroras POV "Hi I'm Chasity Roy, Coltlas tells me that you are his best friend!" She said she sounded like a bath duck being squeezed, I gave her a tight smile, and a strange unfamiliar feeling sprouted in my chest, she came for a hug and I remember squeezing her so tight that she was catching her breath by the time she pulled away."Coltlas you didn't tell me that you had a girlfriend..." I said trying to find the right words and then chastity had her arm wrapped around his the smile on her face running from one ear to the other. "Honestly it's a surprise to me too, I've been sending him love letters for over 7 months now and he has never responded to one of them then while ago he just called me and asked to meet we went on a date and he asked me to be his girlfriend he said he appreciated her determined and straightforward I was and he thought we could be something wonderful isn't that great?" I genuinely felt sorry for Chastity she had this bubbly naive personality covering he

THORN-BLADE PACK Lucian's POVThe pain in my head felt like a thousand thorns prickling into my skull.The pain hit like a dull blade of torture.My fingers dug into my palm, drawing blood as another wave of fire tore through my chest. Four years!!!Four f##king years had passed since I'd taken up the role of an Alpha following my father's death,but with this,also came the harsh price of being a descendant of Thornblade.An ancient curse that followed each bloodline, transferring to the next line whenever one dies.For the first two years, nothing had changed and I thought I’d escaped it. I assumed maybe the curse had skipped a generation. Maybe fate had given me mercy.But mercy didn't exist for Thornblades.Sometime last year, something had triggered it and now, I also bore the ancient curse and for some reason,it appeared to be getting worse each month.The curse didn’t just affect my body,it devoured my mind. The beast within me was breaking loose, clawing its way out,my head
