The Alpha's Broken Pet Eighty-Nine
NormaThe midnight air clung to my skin. My mother had dragged me here, saying we needed protection as our plans began to fray. We sat among shadowed women whose eyes held the power to twist fates. An elder with gnarled fingers handed me a rune-carved calabash filled with oily ointment meant to shield my family from Justin's attempt to break the curse."This must ferment for four days," she instructed. "On the fifth, anoint the king and your sons. It will bind the darkness tighter and repel any attempts to undo your work."I clutched the calabash, its cool surface pressing into my palms. Time was slipping away from me."I don't have four days," I said. "The boy is closing in on solutions. We've heard from reliable sources that they are seeking out banished elders and piecing together the truth."The Queen Mother, seated at the head of the circle, fixed me with a glare. "If you knew there might be a way for the boy to break free, why did you not act faster? You could have secured the t

Justin My mental fog and irrational thoughts had become my default state.My mother and Marissa had already left for the werewolf pack lands, chasing their own leads on a cure. Justine was buried in political maneuvers, trying to shield our kingdom from Sean's schemes. I couldn’t just sit in the palace, waiting for salvation to drop from the sky.That evening, I climbed into my car and drove to Elder Logan's house, determined to find answers on my own.The old man met me at the door with a grim nod. We exchanged a few words as he joined me in the car, directing me through winding roads that led deep into the woods, where a banished elder lived."Why was this elder banished?" I asked as we bumped along a dirt path, the headlights cutting through the gathering dusk.Logan shifted in his seat. "Valen knew too much. Secrets that threatened the throne. Your grandfather exiled him decades ago."My stomach twisted. From what I knew, my grandfather had been a just ruler, fair in his judgment

Sunlight sliced through the balcony glass and landed across my face.I winced at the brightness. My stomach twisted, a sour taste already crawling up the back of my throat. Every sound in the room seemed louder than it should have been; the hum of the AC might as well have been a loud engine. My shoulders ached, my lower back too, as if I had slept on a rock.The other side of the bed was empty, but the dent in the mattress was still warm. A half-finished glass of water sat on the nightstand beside some pills. I rolled over and groaned. Maybe it was stress. Maybe breakfast would fix it. I moved slowly, as if any sudden motion would flip my stomach.The bath didn’t help. Brushing my teeth didn’t help. My body was still fighting me, and I was determined not to lose. I threw on a robe, lay back down, and stared at the ceiling. Anxiety sat heavy in my chest, but I tried to swallow it.The door opened an hour later. Justin walked in. He stopped moving and whistled. I had forgotten my robe

Justin Later that evening, we went for a casual stroll in the garden. Moonlight shimmered like shards of silver on the water trickling from the fountain. We walked slowly, her arm hooked through mine.“So,” she said, her voice a low ripple, “what’s next? My ears are filled with three versions of your father’s mess. What’s your plan?”“It’s all out already.” I stared at the fountain. “I’m tired of hiding. I’m going to tell the council everything.”Her brow arched. “Everything? Including your wolf? Including our bond?”I nodded. “I can’t claim the throne without a mate. I’m not hiding you.”“That’s a bold move. I’m not ready for that kind of spectacle.” She glanced away. “I just want this madness to end so we can breathe.”I squeezed her hand. “Then I’ll take the hit. I’ll stand there and do it.”---The council chamber was full. The elders sat stiffly on tall chairs, portraits of past rulers watching from the walls. My pulse thudded, but I stood anyway.I anticipated backlash, but fea

MarissaI had never felt so empty. Time dragged, and everything felt pointless.Doubts about being unlovable gnawed at me as I lay in bed, staring at the ceiling, too tired to move. I had cried, stayed silent, and felt an exhaustion no amount of sleep could fix.When Brian and Sydney worried, I hid behind forced smiles and “I’m fine,” deflecting their questions. Deep down, I resented and feared that my love would always come with pain.I lay back on the bed, staring at the muted TV as the banner screamed: King Alaric Secret Family Exposed.What the fuck?I shoved the duvet off my legs and grabbed the remote, cranking up the volume. The female anchor rattled on about palace scandals, names I barely knew.Worry for Justin and his mother twisted inside me, mixed with guilt for staying away. Who had leaked this?Instead of turning on my phone, I borrowed Shelby’s laptop. Social media was flooded with the story. I shut it, telling myself I wouldn’t shrink or feel guilty—not until I knew th

NormaThe click of the door kept ringing in my skull long after I shut it. My hands would not keep still. I paced like an animal in a cage. Justin's voice played on repeat in my head until the edges of every word frayed and bled together."What are we going to do, Mother?" I let the question tear out of me. The sound surprised me with how small it felt. "You heard him, did you not? He has found his soulmate."My mother did not look up from the teacup in her lap."It's all your fault," she said as she lifted the cup, took a sip, and set it down. "You have always moved slowly."I stopped dead and turned toward her. Her hands were folded as if she were waiting to measure my failure. I snorted. "That is your answer? Blame me as if everything is a dress that fits poorly.""Why would I not? I begged you to do what needed doing. I told you to make certain Alaric handed the bloodline to Sean before that cursed thing found out the solution."My throat tightened. "What exactly was I supposed to
