The Cursed Alpha's Slave 006: Fight or flight
Elara's POV Everything became a blur of violence and blood. I fought on pure instinct, my human mind pushed aside by the wolf that took over me. I didn't know how to fight like this but my body seemed to know what to do. Bite, claw, dodge, strike. Over and over until the rogues finally broke and ran. When the forest went quiet, I stood there panting and covered in blood. Some of it was mine and some belonged to the rogues. My whole body shook from exhaustion and the strange new form I wore felt both right and wrong at the same time. I needed to get back to the palace. That thought cut through the wolf instincts and gave me direction. I stumbled forward, my new body moving differently than I was used to. Everything felt wrong but I couldn't stop to figure it out. I just had to move. I don't remember much of the journey back. I stumbled through the forest in a daze, following the path I marked in my mind. My body moved on instinct while my brain tried to understand what was happeni
The Cursed Alpha's Slave 005: The wolf within
Elara's POVThe rogue wolf looked up and its yellow eyes locked onto mine. For one heartbeat, neither of us moved. Then it snarled and the sound ripped through the quiet forest like a blade."Up there!" it growled.I didn't think. I just moved, scrambling higher into the tree as fast as my exhausted body would let me. Branches tore at my clothes and scratched my face, but I kept climbing. Below me, I heard claws scraping against bark as the rogues tried to follow."Get her down!" one of them roared.The tree shook as they threw their weight against it. I wrapped my arms around the trunk and held on tight, but I could feel the whole thing starting to lean. Unfortunately, it was not a big tree. They were going to knock it over and then I would be on the ground with three massive wolves and no way to escape.The tree tilted further and I lost my grip. I fell through the branches, hitting every single one on the way down. Pain exploded through my body as I crashed to the forest floor and
The Cursed Alpha's Slave 004: First trial
Elara's POVThe next three days blurred together into one endless cycle of pain, exhaustion, and getting knocked on my back over and over again. Every morning I woke up sore and every night I went to bed even more bruised than before. My hands developed calluses from gripping the practice sword and my muscles screamed with every movement, but Kael never let me stop for long."You're too slow," he said on the second day after knocking my sword away for the hundredth time. "Stop trying to overpower me. You'll never win with strength alone."I picked up my sword and tried again, putting all my force into the strike. He blocked it easily and swept my legs out from under me. I hit the ground hard and the air rushed out of my lungs."What did I just say?" His voice was cold and flat. "You're not listening.""I'm trying," I gasped, pushing myself up on shaking arms."Try smarter, not harder." He moved into position again. "Use leverage. Use my momentum against me. Stop fighting like you have
The Cursed Alpha's Slave 003: My curse
Kael's POV I didn't sleep that night. Sleep hadn't come easy in years, not since the nightmares started, so I stood at my window and watched the sun crawl over the horizon. My mind kept replaying the scene from the ceremonial hall, analyzing it like a battle strategy. The golden threads appearing, the bond forming with a human slave, the chaos that followed. It was a complication I didn't need and couldn't afford. When morning light finally filled the tower, I made my way down the hallway and stopped outside her door. I needed to assess the situation and determine the best course of action. Training her was the logical choice if she was going to try to survive the trials, though survival seemed unlikely given she's a human and her obvious weakness. I knocked twice on her door, sharp and quick. "Come in," her shaky voice came through the door. I pushed the door open and found her sitting on the bed, still wearing that same stained uniform from last night. Her brown hair hung in h
The Cursed Alpha's Slave 002: The tower
Elara's POV I followed Kael through the palace corridors. Every wolf we passed stopped and stared, some with fear in their eyes and others with anger. A few even growled low in their throats, but none of them came close. They all moved out of the way as if Kael carried death with him. My legs felt weak and I wanted to run back to the kitchen, back to Sara, back to the life I knew even if it was terrible. At least I understood that life, but this made no sense at all. "Keep up," Kael said without looking back. I walked faster even though my hands shook. We left the main palace and crossed a courtyard where the wind cut through my thin uniform. I shivered and wrapped my arms around myself, but it didn't help much. The cold went deeper than my skin. A tower appeared ahead, standing alone at the edge of the palace grounds. It looked dark and isolated from everything else, with no lights in the windows and no guards at the door. The stone was old and weathered, and it looked very lon
The Cursed Alpha's Slave 001: The invisible girl
Elara's POVI learned to be invisible when I was seven years old, the day Mistress Cora beat me so badly I couldn't walk for three days because I made the mistake of looking her daughter in the eye. My mother held me while I cried and whispered the most important lesson of my life. Invisible girls don't get hurt, invisible girls survive. Now at twenty, I've perfected the art of being nothing, keeping my eyes down when wolves pass, making myself small in corners and doorways, never speaking unless spoken to. My brown hair hangs in my face to hide my features, and my gray shapeless clothes help me blend into shadows and walls where I belong.Most days the wolves in the palace don't even notice me, just another human slave among hundreds who cook and clean and serve. We're less than the lowest ranked wolf in the pack, nothing but property and tools and things that don't matter. But being invisible means staying alive, and as long as I'm alive I can dream about something more, even if th
