Taming The Alpha’s Curse Chapter 10
Astrid’s PovI said nothing.The words were right there but they would not come out. My mouth opened and closed and I stood there like a complete fool while Xavier held my hands in his and waited.“Nothing, Alpha,” I finally managed. “It is nothing.”He let go of my hands.Then his claws came out.Not all the way, just enough. Just enough for me to see them lengthen slowly at the tips of his fingers, and my breath turned sharp and fast in my chest. He was not looking at me. He was looking forward, his back still slightly turned, his posture completely relaxed, like a man who had all the time in the world and every reason to use it badly.“I do not like,” he said quietly, “when I ask you something and you lie to me.”My heart was slamming.How did he know? I had barely said anything. I had not even finished the lie. How could he tell that fast?He turned his head slightly. Not enough to look at me fully, just enough.“I will ask you again,” he said. “What happened to your hand. And why
Taming The Alpha’s Curse Chapter 9
Astrid’s PovI sat in my corner of the servants’ quarters with a torn dress across my lap and a needle in my hand, trying to focus on the stitching.It was not working.My mind kept jumping ahead to morning, to what it would mean to follow Xavier around all day, to stand beside him, to be seen, to be noticed. The more I tried to push the thoughts down the more they came back up, and before I realized what had happened the needle went straight into my finger.“Ow.”“Take it easy.” Mara looked over from her own mat. “You do not have to spiral like this tonight.”“I know,” I said, pressing my finger to my lips. “But how do I not? Starting tomorrow I am his personal maid, Mara. His personal maid. What does that even mean for me?”She was quiet for a moment. Then she said, “I will not lie to you and tell you it is nothing. Others who held that position before you, some of them did not last. Small mistakes, a spilled cup, a wrong word at the wrong time. He has a short patience and a shorter
Taming The Alpha’s Curse Chapter 8
Xavier’s PovAliyah was furious.I could see it in the way her jaw tightened, the way her hands curled at her sides as she stood there trying to hold herself together in front of the elders. She was good at appearances. I had always known that about her. But right now she was barely holding on.“I cannot believe this,” she said, her voice low and shaking. “She just walks in here and starts destroying everything.”I said nothing.She waited a moment longer, maybe hoping I would take it back or explain myself. When I didn’t, she turned sharply and walked out. Her shoulder caught Astrid hard as she passed, a deliberate knock that made the girl stumble sideways. Aliyah did not slow down. The door shut behind her with more force than necessary.The room settled.Now it was just Talon, and Astrid standing in the middle of the room looking like she was trying very hard not to disappear into the floor.I looked at her properly for the first time since she had walked in.She was beautiful. I h
Taming The Alpha’s Curse Chapter 7
Astrid’s PovAliyah released my hair and threw me to the floor like I was nothing.I hit the cold stone hard, my palms scraping against the ground. Before I could even think about getting up, her foot came down on my hand. Not a kick. A slow, deliberate stomp. I bit down on my lip so hard I tasted blood. I would not scream. I refused to give her that, even though it hurt real bad.She stood there for a moment longer than necessary, then lifted her foot and walked out without a single word. The door swung shut behind her.For a few seconds, nobody moved.Then the whispers started.“She has not even been here a full week and she is already on Aliyah’s bad side.”“Did you see how she was crying? So weak.”Someone laughed. A few others joined in, low and muffled but loud enough for me to hear every word.I stayed on the floor. I could not get up. My hand throbbed where she had stood on it, red and swollen, and my whole body felt like it had simply given up on me. The laughter floated arou
Taming The Alpha’s Curse Chapter 6
Astrid’s Pov“You.” Aliyah’s voice cut straight through me like a blade. “Stand up. Now.”I scrambled to my feet so fast I nearly knocked the chair over. “I’m so sorry, Luna. The Alpha called me here. I swear, I didn’t come on my own. I would never—”“Relax.” She waved her hand like my words were flies buzzing around her head. Then she turned to Xavier with a smile so sweet it made my stomach turn. “Don’t worry, baby. I’ll take her out myself. She might even know something about this whole vampire chaos.”Her fingers wrapped around my wrist to drag me out.“Stop it, woman.”Xavier’s voice didn’t rise. It didn’t need to. It landed in the room like a stone dropped in still water, and everything went quiet.Aliyah froze.I froze too.Even the air felt like it stopped moving.Aliyah turned slowly, and for just a second, the shock on her face was almost funny. She released my wrist, but the damage was already done. Even in that short moment of contact, the obvious mark was there. Xavier wa
Taming The Alpha’s Curse Chapter 5
Astrid's PovMy back was pressed so hard against the cold stone wall that I could feel every rough edge digging into my skin. Alpha Xavier stood barely an inch away from me, towering over my trembling frame. His presence was suffocating, like the air itself had grown heavier just because he was near. I couldn’t stop shaking. My knees felt weak, and my heart was hammering so loudly I was sure he could hear it.He leaned in even closer. Then his fingers began to change right before my eyes. They elongated into sharp, dangerous claws. A small, broken sound escaped my throat. I squeezed my eyes shut tightly, waiting for the inevitable. This was the moment he would snap my neck and end everything.But the pain never came.Instead, I felt the sharp tip of one claw gently trace along my jawline. My breath hitched. Slowly, almost tenderly, he lifted my chin, forcing my face upward.“Open your eyes, Astrid,” he commanded, his voice low and rough.I obeyed, my lashes fluttering open. His hazel
Taming The Alpha’s Curse Chapter 4
Astrid’s PovHis eyes met mine, they were sharp, red, and impossible to read. Then, just as suddenly, they closed again. He collapsed back onto the bed, unconscious.That was my sign to leave.He probably wouldn’t remember any of it. It might have just been a momentary surge of energy. Either way,
Taming The Alpha’s Curse Chapter 3
Astrid’s PovIt’s been four days.Four long, brutal days since they dragged me into this nightmare. Every hour feels like another twist of the knife, carving deeper into my soul. The walls of this castle seem to breathe violence and blood. And me? I’m just a human girl caught in the middle of it al
Taming The Alpha’s Curse Chapter 2
Astrid’s PovWith trembling lashes, I slowly cracked my eyes open, unsure and terrified. And there he was.He stood tall at the top of the stairs, his presence commanding absolute silence. Power rolled off him in waves, heavy and suffocating, like heat rising from a wildfire. His dark eyes met mine
Taming The Alpha’s Curse Chapter 1
Astrid’s PovPlease, please, please stop. Please, I don’t want to die. Please, I beg of you, don’t do this.The voice was mine, but I didn’t recognize it. It came out strangled and broken, trembling with a kind of fear I had never felt before. My own scream echoed back at me, swallowed up by the th
