Rhea

My throat constricted as Alpha Malric’s lips curved into a knowing smirk. His head tilted slightly, and for the first time, I noticed the flicker of light in his eyes, like a dying flame refusing to go out.

“Interesting,” he murmured. His voice was low, deep enough to vibrate through my chest, each syllable dragging like velvet over glass.

Then, with deliberate slowness, he rose to his full height. My breath caught. He was tall — impossibly so — and the moment he stood, everything near him seemed to shrink in comparison.

His voice was calm, but there was a dangerous edge to it, What are you?” His tone wasn’t curious. It was predatory.

The blue in his iris flashed, catching the lightbulb as he studied me with unbearable focus. “For you to stand before me… to defy me…”

“I— No, I…” The words stumbled out uselessly, tumbling from my tongue like I’d forgotten how to speak. Maybe I had. Because the stories were true, just his presence alone was enough to make the ground shift beneath

  • The Cursed Alpha’s Second Chance Mate    Chapter 10: Its Him

    Rhea’s POVThe chill bit through my skin, sharp and merciless. The air itself felt hostile, like even the cold wanted me to break. I shivered, my mind wandering home, clinging to the only warmth I had left. What’s going on? Is Freye feeling alright?The thought hit like a blade. My heart stuttered. My little girl, her tiny hands, her soft skin, her tired. Was she safe now? Was she warm?I dragged myself across the cold stone floor, each clink of the chain echoing like mockery. The iron bit into my skin, drawing blood, but I didn’t stop. I needed to move. I needed to breathe. I needed to do something — anything — before I lost my mind.Reaching the heavy door, I banged my fist against it. “Let me out!” My voice cracked, echoing back at me in the dark room. “Do you hear me? I said let me out!”The sound of boots scraping against stone came first, then the door swung open with a violent clang.The guard filled the doorway like a wall. He was enormous, broad-shouldered, with a face carved

    Alpha Malric’s POVInhaling sharply, the room seemed to bleed red.I smashed the nearest object. Wood splintered under my fists. Not enough.“Damn it.” I closed my eyes. Rhea’s face flashed through my mind, her eyes, her lips… and blood. Heat rushed through me, desire gnawing at control as I felt blood rush to my groin. My erection straining against the fabric. My wolf stirred beneath my skin, claws raking at my sanity. Hunger clawed through me, insatiable and vicious. I groaned, hands pressing against my throbbing head. This shouldn’t be happening. This wasn’t happening.“Do it,” my wolf growled. “You know you want to.”“I said stay back,” I snapped. Control clawed at me like a leash. But I couldn't. Her scent knocked me to my feet, her scent made me a weak man. “Why fight me?” His voice was everywhere. It sounded like it was always. Dark, amused, and viscious. “She’d be… perfect for you.” I knew what was happening here, he was trying to provoke me. I froze, fists tightening. “She

    Rhea’s POV “Alpha!”Scarface’s voice cracked the silence like a whip. He doubled over, clutching his arm where the mark burned through his sleeve. The scent of scorched flesh hit the air, sharp and metallic. His eyes widened in horror.I blinked, frozen. My hand still throbbed, the same hand that monster had gripped moments ago. The ache pulsed in rhythm with the faint glow still shimmering under his skin.“Leave,” Alpha Malric rasped, his breath uneven. His voice wasn’t his own anymore, it was layered, as though something monstrous inside him was speaking too.“Alpha—”“Leave!” he snarled, baring his teeth. His canines had lengthened, not the way ordinary wolves shifted, but like something unreal trying to claw its way out of him. His eyes flickered violently, from blue to gold to a deep, cursed black.The room seemed to shrink around him, the walls bending under his rage. Every instinct I had screamed to run.But I didn’t move. I couldn’t.Because what I saw in his eyes wasn’t jus

  • The Cursed Alpha’s Second Chance Mate    Chapter 6 My Misery; Alpha Malric

    Rhea’s POV They hauled at my arms like I was already dead weight. As their grips tightened, a cold, certain panic spread in my chest. I pleaded, my voice cracking on each word as if it were someone else speaking through my mouth. “Two minutes. Just Two minutes with my daughter.” I pressed the demand through my teeth, every syllable a shard. I would not—could not—leave without seeing her one more time. “Please.” Scarface’s mouth twisted into a sneer as he appraised me for a long. “Fine. Two minutes,”His tone carried no mercy. My legs felt like lead as I walked back toward Freye’s room. The house seemed to hold its breath, betrayal sat heavy in my bones, a stone I could not swallow. Liema rushed to meet me in the doorway. Seeing her face broke what little composure I had left. “My lady,” she murmured, voice cracking. She dropped to her knees and folded me into a hug. I let everything go then. Sobs tore out of me, wet and unladylike; the sound of my grief filled the small room.

    Rhea’s POV “My lady, please, don’t do this to yourself.” Liema set a cold plate on the bedside. “She’s not waking up.” The words ripped free. Tears fell. I had prayed until my throat was raw and fasted three days—penance and promise—refusing food until Freye opened her eyes. Still she lay pale and heavy as stone. Liema smoothed my hair. “It might be better for her this way,” she said softly. “Unconsciousness can be a mercy. She does not feel the pain. Think of it as rest for a wound.” For a moment that idea sounded like shelter. Then the fear returned: how to keep my child safe when I had nothing left to trade? It’s been three days already, and I had avoided Theon like a sickness. I stroked Freye’s hair and told brighter stories. I had imagined slipping away under moonlight with her, but the truth was brutal: the medication that kept her breathing came through Theon. He paid suppliers and the Healer. In small, suffocating ways he controlled our survival, and that is why I
