It hurts!

I had heard stories… stories of brothers betraying brothers; of blood ties turning sour; of shared wombs becoming shared graves.

But I never thought it’d happen to me.

Not for once did I think that!

Not with Drake.

We used to play under the moon when we were pups… just the two of us, chasing fireflies and pretending to be warriors. He’d always let me win when we sparred, even though I knew he was stronger than me back then.

“Why did you let me win today?,” I'd often ask him.

“Because you

  • The Cursed Alpha and His Wolfless Mate   Broken!

    I searched everywhere. Every town, every market, every rogue-infested border. Nothing. She was gone.And every damn night, I would find myself out there—barefoot, shirtless, drunk on regret—staring at the moon, whispering like a lunatic.“Please,” I’d beg, my knees in the dirt, my hands raised like a madman. “Moon goddess, I know I don’t deserve her. I know I’ve failed her. But please, just let me find her again. Let me tell her I love her. Let me… let me make things right.”Sometimes I’d talk to the spirit of Ravenna, the very witch I killed.“I was young… I didn’t know,” I’d mutter under my breath like a man possessed. “You were never the threat. It was the sickness, the fear. I thought I was protecting my people… I didn't mean to hurt you. Please, if your soul is out there, let her come back to me. Or at least let me find her.”No answer. Not even the wind bothered to whisper back.For a year, I didn’t sleep right. I barely ate. The pack thought I was losing my mind. Maybe I was.L

  • The Cursed Alpha and His Wolfless Mate   He said he's my…

    I didn’t stop running that night, not when the moon turned red. Not when my lungs started to burn. Not even when I felt like my heart was about to shatter into tiny, useless pieces.Kaidon had helped me escape. He told me not to come back.He said he’d find me.But he didn’t.Not for three whole days.By the time I collapsed in the mountains, I was already half dead. I don’t even remember falling. All I remember was the biting wind and the sound of my own sobbing echoing through the trees. Then nothing.When I opened my eyes again, it wasn’t the cold I felt anymore; it was warmth. Warm sheets. A fire crackling nearby. A cup of something that smelled like ginger by the bedside. I blinked a few times before my vision cleared.“Ah, finally awake,” a soft voice said.It was a woman. Mid-forties, maybe. Her grey-streaked hair was braided down her back. She had these kind eyes that reminded me of... well, of how I wished a mother would look.“You were out cold when my husband found you,” sh

  • The Cursed Alpha and His Wolfless Mate   The Escape

    It was past midnight when Elder Loin came knocking at my door. I knew it had to be something serious. The old man never left his quarters at that hour unless the walls were falling.I sat up from my desk and stared at him. “You couldn’t sleep either?” I asked with a tired chuckle.He didn’t return the smile.Instead, he stepped in and closed the door behind him. “We need to talk, Alpha. Privately.”That made my heart sink.“Sit,” I said, pointing at the seat across from me.But he remained standing. “Drake. He’s pushing for Lila’s execution.”My chest tightened.“What?” I whispered, blinking as if I’d misheard.“Drake went to the other elders,” he continued. “Told them she’s a threat. He reminded them that she’s the girl from the prophecy; that the curse is already playing out and you’re blinded by your feelings. He convinced them. They voted for her execution.”I stood from my seat immediately, fists clenched at my sides.“When?” I asked.“Three nights from now. They want to do it du

  • The Cursed Alpha and His Wolfless Mate   The Urge

    At first, I thought I was imagining it. The way my limbs would suddenly feel… weightless, like I could carry a boulder or sprint faster than the wind. It started the day Kaidon kissed me, and since then, every time he touched me, even if it was just his hand brushing against mine, I felt something inside me shift, like a flame catching fire in a dark room… like strength I never had before.“Kaidon,” I had asked him one evening as we sat under the moonlit sky, his arms wrapped around me from behind, “why do I feel... stronger whenever I’m around you?”He chuckled and kissed the top of my head. “Love,” he said. “Love makes people brave. Love makes people stronger.”I remember wanting to believe him. I did. But it wasn’t just strength. It was something else… something darker.It started as a whisper in my head…Hurt him.I’d flinch every time it came, like someone had poured ice water down my spine. The first time it happened, I was in the kitchen, preparing his favorite tea. I was hummi

  • The Cursed Alpha and His Wolfless Mate   I told and dared them…

    The council hall was thick with the scent of incense and authority. Every elder, every warrior leader, every man who swore loyalty to the Moonstone Pack, sat in the curved circle of chairs. I stood at the center of it all.This was going to be a meeting like no other!I was going to tell them!“Gentlemen,” I began, letting my voice echo across the room like the wind before a storm. “Thank you for coming.”“Alpha,” Elder Marcus said, giving a short nod. “Is it something urgent?”I folded my arms. “A few things, actually. We need to talk about security. Patrol shifts, border strength… and something else.”“Border strength?” Elder Joseph leaned forward. “We haven’t had a rogue breach in a long time. Our borders are secure.”“I know,” I replied. “But there’s been too much internal drama lately. People turning against one another. Lies, sabotage, even attempted murder. It weakens us. Once our enemies find out that we're not united, they will strike. We can't wait for them to do that before

  • The Cursed Alpha and His Wolfless Mate   Tides of the Full Moon

    Something had come up earlier that day.Something I wasn’t proud of.Another nightmare… the same one that haunted my sleep for months now. The same faceless wolf chasing me across a field of fire and ash, until I fell… and she stared down at me with those hollow, haunting eyes, then turned and vanished into the mist. Every time I woke up, gasping for breath, soaked in sweat, like death had brushed past me. But this time... it felt stronger. Realer. Like the wolf was trying to show me something. Warn me.So I canceled dinner with Lila.I told her it was a meeting with the council. She didn’t question it, even though I saw the flash of disappointment in her eyes before she masked it with a soft smile and nodded.“Okay, Alpha,” she had said quietly. “Maybe another time.”I wanted to reach out, to tell her the truth. But how could I? How do you tell the woman who smiles when you walk into a room, who holds your hand like it's worth something… that you’re cursed to die at her hands?No. Th

  • The Cursed Alpha and His Wolfless Mate   The poison worked!

    I shouldn’t have agreed. From the very moment Drake handed me that small vial of poison and dropped it into Alpha Kaidon's food like it was seasoning, something in my chest just… clenched. “What if he finds out I drugged his food?” I asked, standing stiff as a board beside the table. Drake didn

    Her eyes had seen… Now, she must pay the price!I wasn’t sure what woke me up. Maybe it was the cold air brushing my bare chest or the sound of footsteps too light to belong to a guard. But the moment I opened my eyes, I knew something was wrong.My head pounded. My body felt heavy. I blinked once,

  • The Cursed Alpha and His Wolfless Mate   No one believed me!

    I was shaking. My hands trembled at my sides, my feet were glued to the cold tiled floor of Alpha Kaidon’s chamber, and my breath came in short, shallow gasps. The room was too quiet for comfort, filled with tension so thick it could suffocate me. My knees were weak. My voice was gone. I could bare

    I knew the guards outside Kaidon’s chambers didn’t like me. They never said it directly, but I saw it in their eyes. That simmering irritation, like I was some thorn they couldn’t pluck out. Still, I wasn’t about to let that stop me. I had something to say, and I needed to say it now.I was already
