Todos os capítulos de The Alpha's Cursed Heir: Capítulo 1 - Capítulo 10

The chilly air stunged Lena's skin even as she followed Kaden farther into the forest, the sound of their steps muted by the thick underbrush. The weight of the night was pressing down on her shoulders, and every stride felt heavier than the one before. She didn't even know why she had agreed to follow him, less alone where they were heading. She only knew that she couldn't return to the shame she had left behind or to the pack that had rejected her.Kaden's broad frame cut through the darkness like a stealth predator as he moved forward. He moved with a grace that belied his stature. His senses were acutely aware of their environment. Oftentimes he would turn back to look at Lena's face, his expression neutral, but there was a hint of evil in his eyes.Lena had several questions, but the one that was burning inside of her was the most important: Why was he helping her? The Alpha of a rival pack had no reason to involve himself in her cursed fate. But here he was by her side, guiding

Lena's mind was racing as they rushed through the woodland. She was aware that Damon was after her and would not give up until he got her. In addition to being a slight to his feelings, his rejection had been a power move. By casting her aside, he had positioned himself to take control of the pack without her.But there was something more to it. The hatred in Damon’s eyes when he had rejected her… it had been personal. He didn’t just want to rule, he wanted to see her broken, destroyed. And now, as the wolves continued to pursue them, Lena knew that Damon’s obsession had grown into something darker.“Why would Damon do this?” she asked, her voice barely above a whisper. “He rejected me and now, he wants me dead.”Kaden glanced at her, his expression grim. “Damon’s not acting alone. He’s working with Zara.”The name sent a chill down Lena’s spine. Zara, the sorceress responsible for her family’s curse. The one who had manipulated their bloodline for centuries. If Damon had allied himse

Lena stood in the open area staring blankly at the charred remains of her family's home. She stood there with a lot on her mind, though the chilly breeze rustled the leaves beneath her boots making small noises, she was lost in thought. Her family's home used to be a warm, inviting space where people laughed and loved one another, but now it's just a horrible memory, a harsh reminder of what she had lost. Her parents, the most powerful alphas in the history of the Grey Hollow pack, had passed away. The passing of them had destroyed the very core of her existence.She had always carried the burden of the past, but now it was overwhelming, engulfing her in feelings of guilt and uncertainty. Her grip on the necklace from her mother tightened, the last tangible bond she had. Her expectation was that this place would provide some form of resolution, but instead, it intensifies the emptiness within her.Lena's thoughts went back to the evening when everything took a turn. The pack had assem

Lena felt a peculiar sensation of belonging mixed as she gazed at the ancient key in her palm. Although the metal was chilly against her flesh, she felt a pull, as if the key had been waiting for her and wanted to be found. She could see Kaden's protective instinct resurfacing as his concentrated gaze remained on her.“Where did this come from?” Lena whispered, more to herself than to Kaden.Kaden shifted closer, his gaze scanning the forest around them. “It’s like this place was hiding pieces of your past. But we can’t let our guard down. Zara… she’s not done with us. And Damon knows something we don’t.”His words grounded Lena back to the perilous present. She took a deep breath and slipped the key into her pocket, the weight of it feeling strangely comforting. She met Kaden’s gaze, nodding in silent agreement. They would figure this out together.The forest thinned, giving way to a rocky pathway that led them deeper into a narrow valley. As they walked, Lena’s mind raced, strugglin

Zara’s gaze fixed upon Lena with a twisted sense of triumph, her cold smile stretching as her fingers played over the pendant’s crimson surface. Lena could feel the power emanating from it, a raw, pulsating energy, dark and ancient. Every instinct told her to recoil, but she stood her ground, her heart pounding.“Kaden,” Lena whispered, keeping her eyes on Zara. He stirred beside her, his gaze flickering with determination despite the invisible force holding him down. Damon, lying nearby, struggled against the same force, his face etched with frustration and regret.Zara’s voice dripped with mockery as she looked at Damon. “How touching that you would turn on me for this girl. Haven’t you learned yet? I am the only one who can give you what you truly seek.”Damon’s jaw clenched, his gaze searing. “I’m not afraid of you anymore, Zara. This ends here.”Zara laughed, a sound both haunting and bitter. “Oh, how wrong you are.”Her fingers traced the gemstone’s surface, and Lena’s skin pric
