I am cursed alpha!

ELIJAH

It all happened because I couldn’t control my heart from falling for Emma.

I am the cursed Alpha. I have a mate, but I’ve never felt a connection to her. I tried to give Violet every happiness, to love her even, but my heart betrayed me the moment I saw Emma for the first time.

Emma’s beauty isn’t just in her fair complexion or her long, straight hair. It’s her innocence that captivated me. Violet, on the other hand, is wild and fierce, the kind of woman who could make any man fall to his knees. But, unfortunately, I’ve never felt anything for her.

I first met Violet at my club, Fire Club. That night, she looked stunning in a golden dress, and my wolf growled, signaling she was my mate. Every man in the club eyed her, as expected for a woman like her. But she was mine—my destiny.

That night, I claimed her. We shared a passionate connection, and she realized I was her mate. Even then, something felt incomplete, as if a piece of my life was missing, but I couldn’t figure out what it was.

We dated for six months. Violet wasn’t ready to take on the responsibility of being Luna, but I needed a Luna to claim my place as Alpha of the Crescent Pack. My father had made it clear: without my mate, the throne wouldn’t be mine. I didn’t have time to wait.

Violet was incredible in bed, and our time together was thrilling. But I never felt possessive of her. I hated when other men looked at her, but I didn’t feel the primal rage an Alpha should feel for his mate.

Two months later, we held the mate ceremony. I introduced Violet to the pack as my Luna, and I ascended as Alpha. The Crescent Pack was finally mine, and happiness spread through my people.

Violet told me about her father and sister living in Italy, who arrived just in time for the ceremony. That’s when I first saw Emma.

Emma wore a blue gown that night, and the moment I laid eyes on her, I was undone. Every wolf in the room admired her, but all I felt was an uncontrollable desire to destroy anyone who looked at her that way.

From that day forward, everything in my life changed. I wish I had never met Emma. I wish I had never fallen in love with her.

The Moon Goddess played a cruel game with me. She made Violet my mate when my heart belonged to Emma. My life is cursed, and because of me, two more lives are now shattered.

I betrayed my wife, and now I bear the curse of losing my unborn child.

I only pray the doctors can save my child and my mate. I may be a beast, but not to my family. I kill without remorse, but my family is sacred. Violet is my mate, and that makes her my family, even if I don’t love her.

This curse is my punishment. I’ve killed too many unborn children in my past, and now fate has made me suffer the same loss.

I have to make this right. I need to shut off my emotions and think rationally. Love has made me weak, and a weak Alpha is no leader. It’s time to reclaim my strength and restore order to my pack, even if it means letting go of Emma.

In this life, I can’t have her. But in another life, I will.

I masked my emotions and sprinted back to the mansion, still wearing my bloodied, dirty clothes. My only concern was Violet.

The pack house was in chaos. Everyone was scrambling to save their Luna’s life. I entered the emergency room where Violet was being treated.

Emma stood in the corner, her face stained with tears. The guilt of betraying her sister was etched across her expression. I wanted to console her, to hold her, but I knew this was my fault. I had forced her into this impossible situation.

Then my eyes fell on Violet. Her baby bump was gone, and she lay lifeless on the hospital bed.

“What’s the status, doctor?” I demanded, keeping my voice cold and emotionless.

“Alpha Elijah, your baby didn’t make it,” the doctor said, bowing her head. “But Luna is alive. Her vitals are weak, and we’re doing everything we can to stabilize her.”

The words hit me like a dagger. My child, my future, was gone. Who was to blame for this tragedy? Emma? Me? Violet? Or the Moon Goddess herself?

I stepped out of the room and summoned a pack meeting through my Beta, Mason. Within minutes, every wolf in the pack gathered.

“Our Luna is in critical condition, and we’ve lost our future Alpha,” I announced, my voice steady. “But we must stay strong. Return to your chambers and pray to the Moon Goddess for Luna’s recovery.”

The pack nodded in silent agreement and dispersed.

As I turned, Mason approached me, his eyes burning with fury.

“Alpha, is Luna in this condition because of Emma?” he asked, his voice laced with accusation.

Mason knew everything that happened within the house. He was my Beta—my shadow. He had always been loyal, but today, his loyalty was torn between me and Violet.

“Let it go, Mason,” I warned, my patience wearing thin.

“Alpha, this is because of your affair with that whore,” he spat venomously.

Before I could stop myself, my fist connected with his face.

Mason was loyal. But today, he crossed a line. And now, he was dead meat.
