All Chapters of The Alpha's Cursed Mate : Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Tiara’s POVLately, I had been watching Nicholas more than I should. I didn’t know when it had started, but now, I couldn’t seem to stop. My eyes followed him when he moved through the packhouse, when he gave orders to the warriors, when he sat in meetings with his Beta. He never had to raise his voice to command respect. It was just there, in the way he carried himself, in the way people reacted to him.I told myself it was nothing—just curiosity. But Nina’s words kept replaying in my mind."You should try to get closer to him, Tiara. Not just because it would make Phoebe furious, but because he's the Alpha here, and whether you like it or not, your place in this pack is tied to him."At first, I had laughed it off. I didn’t need to do anything to solidify my place. Nicholas had already made it clear that I was under his protection. But the more I thought about it, the more I realized Nina wasn’t entirely wrong.Nicholas was the one who decided who stayed and who didn’t. If I wanted

Phoebe’s POVI walked beside my mother through the quiet hallways of the pack house, my steps light against the polished wooden floors. The air carried the scent of burning wood and freshly brewed tea, but I barely noticed. My thoughts were elsewhere, focused entirely on what lay ahead.Everything depended on this meeting. If we failed to convince my father, Alpha Darius, all our efforts would be for nothing. Our plans would crumble before they could even begin. We had rehearsed our words repeatedly, ensuring that we sounded as genuine as possible. If there was even a hint of dishonesty, Alpha Darius would catch it. He was sharp, and he was not easily deceived. But then, I trusted my mother. Over the years, I'd seen how she easily manipulated him. Sometimes it was glaring that she was manipulating him, but he would let her have her way. I'd always loved that my mother was constantly on the winning end. There was nothing she ever asked of him that he didn't do for her, or simply give

Tiara’s POVPhoebe and Luna Victoria were in ForestHowl as unexpected guests.I had not seen them yet, but I knew they were here. Their presence was not something that could go unnoticed. Even without meeting them, I could already feel their intentions.They had come with smiles, with carefully chosen words, but I knew the truth.They wanted to see me. And they wanted to see Nina.When Nicholas called for me that morning, I had already expected it.“They asked to see you both,” he said, standing near the large window of his office. His voice was steady, calm. “They claim they want to make sure you are at peace.”I did not react immediately, letting the words settle.Nicholas watched me, his expression unreadable. “I told them they could.”A part of me wanted to scoff at their sudden concern. I had lived in MoonCrown for years. Not once had they ever looked at me with kindness. Now, after all that had happened, they wanted to check on me?But I did not let my emotions show.Nicholas le

Tiara’s POVI was still getting myself familiar with the ForestHowl pack house. It was my new home and I didn't want to leave things to chance. Once, Nina and I had had our walk around the pack house and had discovered an old mine within the pack house. There was a small door that led directly to the abandoned mine.We didn't do anything about this knowledge. We were simply satisfied that we knew this. There was a lot more to learn and the presence of Phoebe and my step mother didn't stop my evening tours around the pack house.I walked down the hall, looking at both sides of the far walls as I went. And then suddenly, I came to a sudden halt.Phoebe stood in the middle of the hall, arms crossed, blocking my way.Unlike earlier, there was no fake kindness in her expression. She did not bother with polite smiles or forced sweetness. Her true feelings were on full display—disdain, irritation, and something else she probably did not want to admit.Jealousy.I said nothing at first, simpl

Nicholas’ POV Later that night, I knew I needed to go out into the woods and think. It was where I could think about the fiercest decisions and think about the mate I had lost a few years back. I left the pack house, walking with steady strides toward the woods. The forest had always been my refuge, the only place where I could think without distractions. The moment I stepped beneath the trees, the cool air wrapped around me, easing some of the pressure building inside my chest. I took a deep breath, inhaling the crisp scent of damp earth and pine. The sounds of nature surrounded me—the rustling of leaves, the distant call of a bird, the soft trickle of a stream nearby. These things never changed. They remained constant, unlike the tangled thoughts in my head. Roy stirred within me, silent at first but watchful. I welcomed his presence. It had always been this way—just the two of us, finding solace in the quiet of the woods. It was on one of those times when we were alone that we'
