I awoke to the forreign feeling of the warm, golden sunlight streaming accros my face.

A sigh of content escaped my lips before realization hit me. The sun, for it to have woken me meant I completely overslept. Panic clawed at my chest, father will be furious, he hasted lazyness, my heart pounded as I jumped out of the bed, fearing what my punnishment would be.

  • The Cursed Alpha King's Mate   Chapter Four – Restless

    Killian’s POV)The night was too quiet. Too still. I couldn’t sit still, couldn’t let my mind rest, couldn’t let my wolf rest. Every instinct inside me screamed her name. Nyelle. My mate. I could smell her in the east wing, clinging to the air like fire. Sweet, sharp, alive. The pull was unbearable. I tried to tell myself it was patience, strategy—but the truth was far simpler: I wanted her near. Needed her near. My wolf’s growls, low and insistent, left me no choice.I stalked the halls, boots echoing on marble, hands flexing into fists. My mind raced with every memory of her—the way she had flinched when I first touched her chin, the way her small frame had stiffened under my presence, the subtle sparks that had danced across her skin. Every inch of her set my blood alight.Ryker’s voice intruded, calm and measured. “Killian, you need to temper yourself. She’s scared. One misstep and you could drive her away.”I clenched my jaw. Patience. Yes, I knew I should be patient. I had given

  • The Cursed Alpha King's Mate   Chapter Three – Gold and Chains

    Nyelle’s POV)Morning light spilled through the tall windows, soft and golden, but it did nothing to warm me. My body ached with exhaustion from the storm of yesterday—the cold, the ride, the way Killian’s presence had pressed against me like a storm itself. I blinked against the brightness, my fingers curling around the edge of the silk sheets, trying to will my heart to slow.This was a palace, a world I had never belonged in. Marble floors gleamed beneath my bare feet, walls trimmed in silver and gold, and sunlight caught on crystal chandeliers like fire caught in dew. Everything glittered, reflected, demanded admiration—but all I felt was small, fragile, and painfully out of place.I rose slowly, each movement stiff, my limbs aching in ways that reminded me of the whipping pain from my father’s hands so many times before. I hated that memory, hated how easily it came back, even here.A soft knock drew my attention. The door opened a sliver, and the kind-faced maid appeared, holdin

  • The Cursed Alpha King's Mate   Chapter Two – A Cage of Gold

    (Nyelle’s POV)I didn’t belong here.The palace was all gleaming marble and glittering light, endless halls lined with gold and chandeliers that caught the firelight like stars. Every step I took echoed too loudly, reminding me of how small I was. Back home, the stone floors were cracked and cold, the air heavy with smoke and mildew. This place should have felt like a dream.Instead, it felt like a cage.The servant stopped before a towering set of doors and pushed them open without a sound. My heart stuttered as I stepped inside.The room was lavish beyond anything I had ever seen. Cream-colored walls gleamed under silver trim, a massive bed stood draped in silk and velvet, its canopy carved with intricate vines. A fire roared in the marble hearth, spilling warmth into the air scented with lavender and roses. Even the rugs looked softer than anything I had ever slept on.For a moment, I couldn’t breathe. This wasn’t a room. It was a world.And yet I felt no comfort. Only dread.“This

  • The Cursed Alpha King's Mate   Chapter One – Mine by Force

    (Nyelle’s POV)The chandelier above the great hall glittered with golden light, each crystal dripping wealth. Laughter rang from the dining tables, wine glasses clinked, the scent of roasted lamb and honeyed bread heavy in the air. For anyone else, this night might have been enchanting.For me, it was torment.I knelt on the marble floor, scrubbing away a red wine stain I hadn’t spilled, the harsh bristles biting into my raw fingers. Each scrape left the skin angrier, redder, but I kept working. My father’s voice carried over the din, booming with false cheer as he entertained our guests.Nineteen today. My birthday.The number meant nothing here. There would be no cake, no smile, no gift. Only chores and bruises.“Faster, girl,” hissed a passing omega, her lips curled in contempt. “No one wants to trip over your filth.”Laughter followed her words, joined by snickers from a cluster of warriors leaning against the far wall. They never missed a chance to sneer at me, to remind me I was
