Semua Bab Bound To The Cursed Alpha King : Bab 151 - Bab 156

Avery’s Point Of ViewI couldn’t stop the smirk curling at the edge of my lips as I walked through the polished corridors of the Alpha’s wing, my gown trailing behind me like a river of silk and blood. Each step echoed softly against the marble, matching the sharp rhythm of my heart. Triumph, it was addictive, bitter, and sweet all at once.I wouldn’t lie to myself, when I first laid eyes on Sophia standing beside him… Julian… my chest had clenched so tightly I thought I might shatter right there in front of the entire court.It had shaken me. More than I cared to admit.I had prepared for this, rehearsed it in my head a thousand times. After all, Kaiden’s decree had been clear… all Alphas in Aethoria were to be present at the royal announcement. It was inevitable. They were bound to come. But still… seeing them there, together… the smugness on Julian’s stupid, beautiful face like he hadn’t left me for her… like he hadn’t chosen her over me as if I was dirt beneath his boots…For a mo

Kaiden’s Point Of ViewThe soft rise and fall of her chest against mine was almost enough to make me forget the entire damn world existed beyond this room. Almost.Her hair was a wild halo across the pillow, skin flushed, lips parted as she caught her breath.

Twisted by something old and cruel. His massive body towered over me, muscles coiled with barely restrained violence, shoulders hunched like a predator seconds from lunging.But it was the eyes that shattered something inside me. They flickered. Flickered like a storm caught between two skies. For one second, just one… emerald green.My heart seized in my chest. I knew that green. The color of forests right before a summer storm, the color I stared into every time Kaiden leaned down to kiss me like I was his entire damn world.“Kaiden…” I whispered, my voice cracking, desperate.Then, they shifted again.Blood red.Deep, ancient, glowing like forge-fire, like fury unchained.
