I smiled, though my eyes stung. I sat beside her and took her hand gently, afraid of hurting her.

Her skin felt paper-thin, but her grip, her grip was still strong.

“Did you manage to talk to the doctor about your heart bypass schedule?” I asked carefully.

Grandma’s smile faded a little, and she looked away. “I don’t plan on having the surgery, sweetheart.”

For a moment, I thought I’d misheard her. “What?” I blinked, my hand tightening around hers. “Grandma, what did you just say?”

  • The Cursed Alpha and his Chosen Mate   Chapter 27

    Stepping through the grand double doors of the university banquet hall felt like entering a completely different world. The vaulted ceiling sparkled with giant crystal chandeliers that cast a warm, golden glow across the polished marble floor. Long tables covered in crisp white linen were decorated with tall silver vases of white roses, delicate crystal glassware, and polished silverware. Classical violin music drifted softly through the air. Everything was so stunningly elegant that for a moment, the breath caught in my throat. My eyes swept across the room, taking in the crowd of students. Everyone looked like they belonged on the cover of a high-fashion magazine. The guys wore sharp, tailored tuxedos with silk bowties, and the girls wore sweeping floor-length gowns made of shimmering satin, lace, and velvet that caught the light with every step. Then, my eyes landed on a group standing near the chocolate fountain near the centre of the hall. It was Naomi, flanked by her usu

  • The Cursed Alpha and his Chosen Mate   Chapter 26:

    The morning light crept through the heavy velvet curtains, painting the room in pale gold. I sat up in the center of the massive bed, my chest tightening as the reality of the date hit me. Today was the day. Before getting out of bed, I grabbed my phone from the nightstand and dialed Grandma’s number. I needed to hear her voice before stepping into whatever chaos awaited me. The line rang twice before her soft, familiar tone filled my ear. "Good morning, my sunshine," she cooed gently. "You're up early." "Morning, Grandma," I said, forcing a bright, cheery tone into my voice. "I just wanted to check in on you before my busy schedule starts today." "Oh, don't you worry about an old woman like me," she chuckled softly, though a faint breathlessness betrayed her frail heart. "The nurses here are taking wonderful care of me. Doctor Shapiro even stopped by this morning to adjust my vitamins. But what about you? You sound like you're carrying the weight of the world on your should

  • The Cursed Alpha and his Chosen Mate   Chapter 25

    I hurried up the wide mahogany staircase, my footsteps muffled by the thick runner rug I didn't stop until I was safely inside my bedroom. I closed the grand double doors behind me and leaned my back against it letting out a long, shuddering sigh. Slipping down until I was sitting on the floor, I rested my forehead against my knees as the silence of the massive room settled over me. My palm throbbed with a dull, rhythmic sting where the High Priestess had sliced my skin. I brought my hand up to my face, carefully unwrapping the makeshift bandage I had applied at school. The cut was a raw, thin crimson line a quiet, physical reminder of the heavy secret I was carrying. He’s facing a global summit, a deadly curse, and a brother who wants him dead, I thought, looking around at the quiet luxury of the estate. Still having much to do. And here I am, almost asking him to come to a college dance. It felt naive. Davian lived in a high stakes world of ancient magic, power plays, and br

  • The Cursed Alpha and his Chosen Mate   Chapter 24

    I walked into the massive house, my heart beating fast with nervousness. I carried my bag down the quiet, marble-floored hallway until I reached the massive mahogany double doors of the grand study. Taking a deep, steadying breath, I gently knocked and stepped inside. The study was breathtaking lined with floor-to-ceiling bookshelves, a glowing marble fireplace, and a massive dark-wood executive desk in the centre. Davian was sitting behind the desk, looking impossibly handsome in his dark suit, his jacket discarded over his chair as he reviewed thick legal folders. Hearing me enter, he looked up. The cold, dangerous look in his eyes instantly softened the moment his gaze landed on me. I offered him a small, nervous smile, stepping closer to his desk. "Davian..." "Corvina," he said, his deep voice filling the quiet room. "What is it?" My fingers tightly clutched the edge of my bag. I unzipped the front pocket, pulled out the heavy silver blood-talisman necklace the High Prie

    "Oh my gosh, Naomi! What on earth happened to your face?!" The shrill, high-pitched voice of Amanda echoed across the lecture hall the moment I walked through the double doors. I took a quiet seat near the back row, pulling my beige jacket tightly around myself to stay low-profile. Up near the front row, Naomi was sitting at her usual desk, but her flawless, arrogant look was completely ruined. A dark, swollen purple mark covered her left cheek, hidden poorly under a thick layer of her makeup. "My dad slapped me yesterday," Naomi snapped in a bitter, stressed whisper, though the quiet classroom made it easy for me to hear every word. "He thinks I did something to piss off Alpha Davian Storm! He said Alpha Davian is blacklisting our entire family business and pulling all our government contracts. But I swear, I didn't do anything to him!" Amanda gasped loudly, covering her mouth. "Alpha Davian?! Why would the Alpha King target your father?" "That's what I'm trying to figure o

    "Did she take the money, Joey?" I asked, leaning back against the leather chair inside my private office. "Yes, Alpha," Joey replied smoothly, bowing his head slightly. "Regina just reported that the Luna took the black card and left the estate right after." A bitter, cold smirk played on my lips. "She is not the Luna yet, Joey," I reminded him, my voice flat and devoid of emotion. "We have to mate first... and when we do, she will die." I turned my gaze out the window, a dull ache twisting in my chest. So, she took the five million dollars, I thought to myself. And here I was starting to think she was different. She claimed she didn't care about money, but she lied just like everyone else. An hour later, Joey and I arrived at the ancient sanctuary of the High Priestess, hidden deep within the sacred grounds of the pack territory. We stepped inside her dimly lit altar room, where burning incense filled the heavy air. "It is ready, my Alpha," the High Priestess spoke, her r
