All Chapters of Betrayed and Sold to the Cursed Alphas: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Veronica's POVI couldn't breathe! Smoke clouded my vision and lungs."Dever! Where are you?!"No response."Dever!!""I'm right behind you, love." I felt his hand graze my back, before squeezing it. “Stay close by."I did as he instructed, my eyes stinging as I tried to keep them open. Smoke covered every inch of the building, blurring my vision. Soot littered the ground as he guided me blindly through the hallway. I heard a child wailing from a distance, the crackling of fire licking up the house, screams and howls. My pack was under attack.An arrow sizzled past my ears as we made it outside the building. I screamed."Hey, it's okay Vee. It will all be over soon," he whispered, nudging me towards the woods surrounding us. "Go over there and wait for me."My legs refused to move. "You’re not going back there. It’s too risky. ""I have to help others. Blackmoon warriors have surrounded the entire place." He kissed my forehead. "I have to protect the pack. That's my duty to them."F

Veronica’s POV “Dever,” I muttered, half believing what I was seeing. There was no way in the whole of River-Valley that the man before me was alive. No way. I had watched him fall, held him as he bled into my arms. My eyes watered as emotions surged through my body burning everywhere they touched. “Vee,” he whispered with the same breathlessness I had. I stopped breathing. This was real… he was alive and standing right in front of me. I had the urge to grab him, hold him, kiss him, to feel his skin against my palms just to be certain. To pull him away from these rogues and this cursed place and run far away, but my body failed to respond to my urges. So I just stared. He still looked the same except for the beard framing his jawline and the scar running from his bottom lip into his beard. I watched as shock tainted his eyes, giving way to fear and then anger. “What kind of sick joke is this, Klaus?” he said angrily, tearing his gaze away from mine. “Did Kade put you up to th

Veronica POVI snuggled deeper into the worn-out mattress, my eyes tired and my head still reeling from my discovery. But the silence around me made it impossible for me to tune them out. I just wanted to scream until my throat was raw, until I could feel no more. Everything hurt.“Roni,” Ginny whispered, her hand patting my back. “You scared the seven hells out of me.”Groaning, I scooted over, giving her space to climb into bed with me. It was against the rules for captives to socialise, but we always found our way to each other’s beds after lights out and the guards’ final rounds. This was our ritual every night. But tonight, I didn’t want company. I just wanted to drown in my sorrow.“Had fun?” she teased, punching my arm lightly. She didn’t wait for my reply. “I thought you wouldn’t make it back before curfew. I was already sizing up old wretched Darney. He was so eager, I almost gagged.” She sighed dreamily. “I can’t wait for the bells to announce their death. I can almost hear

Veronica POVThe room tilted before my eyes. “No.” I shook my head so hard my vision blurred. “No. No, that wasn’t the deal. I said no marriage. No exceptions.”Klaus didn’t even flinch. “But you made no such demand, Veronica.” His voice was dangerously calm. “Your exact words were Silverclaw without my brother. Now you have me.”I stepped back, but the guards tightened their grip, pinning me to the spot. “No, no, no,” I screamed, fighting to break free. “I won’t marry you. Never! And you can’t kill me, not when I’m the only one keeping your brother alive.”For a second, our eyes met, and in that moment, I truly thought he was going to end me right here. Instead, he signalled over his head, smiling.My body froze, fear clawing at the back of my head as they dragged someone on the floor, whimpering. My stomach plunged as I realised what was happening. “No… please.” My knees weakened as the fight drained out of me. “Please don’t do this. Don’t–”“Now,” he murmured, stepping closer, “s

Kade POVThe oak door stared right at me, its polished surface shining through the dim lighting in the hallway. I groaned, taking another step forward. This was stupid, me pacing here for the past thirty minutes. She was just right behind the door. It has been seven moon nights since the attack, and still, I couldn't shake the thoughts clouding my mind. At first, I’d blamed the potion she gave me. But my trip to her cell only confirmed what I feared. This was something beyond me. Beyond her. The wolfsbane I’d slipped into her food should have severed any bond she might have formed with her potion. But instead of quieting the noise, the thoughts only grew louder. More frequent.“Fuck,” I exhaled, turning my back to the door and staring down at the key in my hands.If Klaus knew what I was about to do, he’d lose his mind. But i could give a rat piss about how he felt right now. I was losing sleep over her. I needed to know what the hell was happening inside me. Why couldn’t I stop thin
