The Cursed Alpha’s Only Mate Elsie
Tori POV The courtyard was emptying, guests streaming toward the exits, their voices a chaotic murmur of shock and speculation. Tori stood near the edge of the crowd, her hands clasped before her, her heart still pounding from the events of the past hour. She watched as Hecate helped Maddox to his feet. The king was pale, shaking, his body barely covered by the cloak she had draped over his shoulders. Beta Emrich moved to his other side, supporting him, guiding him toward the castle. The three of them disappeared through the great doors, swallowed by the shadows of the corridor. The festival was over. The moonlight was fading. But the memory of what had happened would linger for a long time. Hecate had done it. She had taken control. She had claimed the throne. Tori could not have been prouder. A warm hand touched her elbow. She turned to find Eilad standing beside her, his honey colored eyes still wide with wonder and confusion. "That was intense," he said, his voice low. "I h
The Cursed Alpha’s Only Mate Elsie
Elsie POV The night garden was quiet, wrapped in shadows and the soft silver light of the moon. Elsie sat on a stone bench near the edge of the fountain, her back against Zuri's chest, Zuri's arms wrapped around her waist. The air was cool and carried the scent of night blooming jasmine, sweet and delicate, a fragrance that seemed to belong to another world. She had never liked gardens. In the Midnight Pack, the gardens were grey and sparse, the flowers few and far between. The plants that grew there were thorny and stubborn, clinging to life in soil that seemed determined to reject them. Elsie had spent her childhood avoiding those gardens, preferring the dark corridors of the manor, the quiet of her room, the company of her books. But this garden was different. This garden was alive. Spring had come to Emberclaw, and the flowers responded with enthusiasm. Roses climbed the trellises in shades of pink and cream. Tulips stood in neat rows, their petals catching the moonlight like
The Cursed Alpha’s Only Mate Elsie
Elsie POV The Midnight Pack's manor rose from the frozen earth like a wound in the landscape, all black stone and sharp angles, its towers clawing at the grey sky. Elsie had grown up within these walls, had learned to walk on these cold floors, had learned to read in the dim light that filtered through the narrow windows. She knew every shadow, every secret, every whispered conversation that echoed through the corridors at night. The manor was not a place of warmth. It was not a home, not in the way other packs understood the word. It was a fortress. A sanctuary. A prison, depending on who was asking. Tonight, it was all three. Elsie sat at the vanity in her chambers, a heavy leather bound book open before her, its pages filled with cramped handwriting and dark diagrams. The text was ancient, written in a language that had died out centuries before her grandmother was born. She could read it fluently. Her mother had made sure of that. Zuri stood behind her, the silver handled b

The Cursed Alpha’s Only Mate Tori
Tori POV The cottage was quiet, the kind of quiet that pressed against the ears and made every small sound seem loud. The fire crackled in the hearth, sending shadows dancing across the wooden walls. Outside, the wind whispered through the trees, carrying the scent of snow and distant woodsmoke. Tori sat at the small table near the window, a cup of cold tea forgotten before her. She had been sitting there for hours, staring at nothing, her mind churning through the events of the past days. The festival. The ritual. Hecate tearing the pendant from the king's neck. The beast rising. Hecate commanding it to its knees. The declaration that she would take the throne. It felt like a dream. A nightmare. A story that had happened to someone else. But it was real. And Tori was caught in the middle of it. Nessa sat across from her, mending a torn shirt with quick, practiced stitches. Her grey eyes kept drifting to her sister's face, watching, waiting. "You have been quiet all day," Nessa
The Cursed Alpha’s Only Mate Elsie
Elsie POV The tavern was hidden at the southern edge of the village, far from the main roads, far from prying eyes. Its sign hung crookedly above the door, the paint faded, the name unreadable. Elsie had never been to this part of town before. She had never needed to. Her life had been spent in the cold corridors of the Midnight Pack's manor, in the gardens that bloomed grey and thorny, in the shadow of her mother's ambitions. But tonight, she followed Hecate through the narrow streets, her hood pulled low, her heart pounding in her chest like a caged bird. The cobblestones were uneven beneath her boots, and the scent of ale and smoke drifted from the buildings they passed. Men called out from doorways, their voices rough with drink, but no one looked twice at three women hurrying through the darkness. Nyra walked beside her, silent and watchful, her grey gown blending into the shadows. Her red hair was hidden beneath a dark hood, and her pale eyes swept the street with the practic

Samantha POVThe blade caught the light, and I knew I was going to die.Ranulf stood over me with the dagger raised, his grey eyes empty of anything but cold resolve. The guards held my arms pinned behind my back, their fingers digging into my wrists hard enough to leave bruises. I could not move.

Third POVThe throne room had never felt more like a cage.Maddox sat on the cold stone steps before his empty throne, his wrists bound in heavy iron chains that ran to anchors bolted into the floor. The silver in the metal bit into his skin, leaving welts that wept and healed and wept again. He h
