Ninety years had passed since I was sold to the Cursed Alphas of Thornwood as a poisoned gift wrapped in obedience. The estate had become something beyond myth. Thornwood was a living kingdom of light, a place where the old Sanctuary’s corruption was remembered only as cautionary tales told to children. Its gothic spires stood proud against skies that were clear more often than not. The woods surrounding it had grown into a vast, protected realm teeming with life and new stories.

  • The cursed alpha's dirty secret    The Circle Expands

    "Mom, I need you to listen to me." Lyra's voice was raw, desperate. She was kneeling in front of her mother, her hands gripping the older woman's shoulders. The villagers had gathered around us, their faces pale with fear. "I am listening," her mother said. "I'm always listening." "The quiet is going to try to take you again," Lyra said. "It's going to whisper to you. Tell you that you're alone. Tell you that no one cares." "I know what it does, Lyra. I lived through it." "Then you know you can't listen to it. You can't believe it. No matter what it says." Her mother reached up and touched Lyra's face. "I won't. I promise. I won't let it take me again." "Good," Lyra said. "Because I can't lose you again. I can't." I watched them, feeling the warmth pulse in my chest. The circle was strong, but it was also fragile. One crack and everything could fall apart. "We need to bring everyone together," I said. "Every single person who survived. We need to make them part of the circle

  • The cursed alpha's dirty secret    The Pit of Silence

    The fall seemed to last forever. I hit the ground hard, the impact driving the air from my lungs. Darkness pressed in from all sides, thick and suffocating. I heard Wren cry out somewhere to my left, heard Silas grunt as he landed nearby. "Everyone okay?" I called out, my voice echoing in the void. "I'm here," Wren said. "I think I'm okay." "Same," Silas said. "Where's Lyra?" "I'm here." Her voice came from my right, shaky but present. "I think I landed on something soft." "Stay still," I said. "Don't move until we know what's around us." I forced myself to my feet, my hands reaching out in the darkness. The walls were cold and damp, rough with age. We had fallen into some kind of pit, deep beneath the forest floor. "What is this place?" Lyra asked. "Why would the quiet bring us here?" "Because it wanted to separate us," I said. "It wants us isolated. Weak." "It's not going to work," Silas said. "We're still together. We're still holding the circle." I closed my eyes and r

  • The cursed alpha's dirty secret    The Gathering Storm

    "He's gone."The words hit me like a physical blow. I turned to find Lyra's mother standing at the edge of the clearing, her face white with terror."Who's gone?" I asked. "What are you talking about?""Marcus," she said. "One of the villagers. He was here last night. We all saw him. And now he's just... gone.""How is that possible?" Wren asked. "We were all together. We were all holding the circle.""I don't know," the woman said. "But he's not here. I've looked everywhere. He's vanished."The warmth in my chest flickered, a warning I couldn't ignore. I scanned the clearing, counting faces. There were fewer of them than there should have been. Much fewer."Everyone, stay calm," I said. "Let's take a head count. See who else is missing."We gathered the villagers together, counting them one by one. The numbers didn't add up. Five people were missing. Five people who had been with us just hours before."Where did they go?" Lyra demanded. "How could they just disappear?""Because the q

  • The cursed alpha's dirty secret    The Ashes and the Promise

    "We need to bury them."Lyra's voice cut through the morning air like a blade. She was standing at the edge of the clearing, staring at the charred remains of what had once been our home. The fire had consumed everything. The walls. The roof. The garden we had planted with such hope.The night had been long. We had huddled together in the darkness, too exhausted to rebuild, too shaken to sleep. The villagers had wrapped themselves in whatever they could find, their bodies pressed close for warmth. None of us had spoken. There was nothing left to say.Now the sun was rising, painting the world in shades of gold and red. And Lyra was standing in the ashes, her hands clenched at her sides."Bury what?" I asked. "There's nothing left to bury.""The memories," she said. "The life we had. We need to say goodbye to it.""I don't understand," Wren said. "What are you talking about?"Lyra turned to face us. Her eyes were red and swollen, but there was a fire in them that I hadn't seen before.

  • The cursed alpha's dirty secret    The Thing in the Clearing

    "No. No, no, no."Lyra's voice cracked as she stared at the darkness that had consumed our home. The thing in the clearing was massive, larger than anything I had ever seen. It pulsed with a hunger that made my skin crawl."What is that?" Tessa whispered. "What did it do to our home?""It took it," Silas said. "It took everything."The villagers behind us began to panic. I could hear their footsteps scattering, their voices rising in fear. But I couldn't look away from the thing that was waiting for us."Stay together," I said. "Don't break the circle."The thing laughed. It was a horrible sound, like stones grinding together in the dark."Circle," it hissed. "You think your little circle can stop me?""I think we can try," I said."You can try," it agreed. "And you will fail. Just like all the others."Wren's hand found mine, squeezing tight. "What is it talking about? What others?""The keepers before you," the thing said. "The ones who thought they could hold the line. The ones who

  • The cursed alpha's dirty secret    The Thing That Follows

    "Something is hunting us."The words came from Lyra's mother. She had been silent for hours, her eyes fixed on the path behind us. Now she stopped walking, her face pale, her hands trembling."What do you mean?" Silas asked. "What did you see?""I didn't see anything," she said. "But I felt it. In the cave. When you pulled us back from the quiet, I felt something else. Something that didn't want us to leave."Lyra grabbed her mother's arm. "Mom, what are you talking about?""Something was holding us there," she said. "Something that wanted to keep us trapped. And when you broke through, when you brought us back, it got angry."I felt the warmth pulse in my chest, sharper than before. It was warning me. Something was wrong."Keep moving," I said. "We need to keep moving.""We can't outrun it," Tessa said. "If it's been following us this whole time...""Then we don't outrun it," Wren said. "We face it."The villagers started murmuring, their voices rising in panic. I could see the fear

  • The cursed alpha's dirty secret    First Night

    I was theirs now. And I had never been more terrified in my life.The echo of the slamming doors still rang in my ears when Silas gripped my arm again and pulled me up the wide staircase. My bare feet dragged on the cold steps. Every shadow in that massive hall seemed to watch me. I did not fight h

  • The cursed alpha's dirty secret    The Sale

    They sold me like I was already dead. I stood there barefoot on the freezing stone floor, chains heavy on my wrists, the thin white robe doing nothing against the cold or the shame burning in my chest. My heart hammered so loud I could barely hear anything else. This could not be real. After ever

  • The cursed alpha's dirty secret    The First Mark

    Rook stayed glued to my side the whole way back, his hand heavy on my lower back like he was afraid I would vanish. The moment we stepped through the doors of Thornwood, Silas and Wren were waiting in the grand hall, faces tight with urgency.“It cannot wait,” Silas said, voice hard. “The full bond

  • The cursed alpha's dirty secret    Beast in the Woods

    The house wanted me dead.While Silas argued with Rook in the doorway and Wren whispered from the hall, I saw my chance. The lights kept flickering and the walls groaned like they were in pain. Everyone was distracted. I grabbed the blanket, wrapped it around my naked body, and slipped through the
