All Chapters of The Curse of Fated Mates : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

The wolf became a blur of black fur and a burning red glow in its eyes. I went momentarily deaf from the roar that erupted from the pack of wolves.I was frozen in that moment of terror, and I could only watch as the wolf closed the distance between us.I could vividly see its massive paws kicking up dirt from the damp earth as the world seemed to slow around me.From a distance, its claws flashed, raking across my arm in a searing line of pain that tore a scream from my throat. Hot blood splashed down my skin, and I stared at it, dumbfounded, too stunned to move.A sharp, deafening crack split through the air.The rogue wolf, mid-leap, yelped in a sickening high-pitched whine just as a larger wolf swiped at its neck, sending its black head rolling across the floor.The body writhed for a moment, a pathetic heap of fur, before the movements stopped entirely.My legs, which had been frozen in place, threatened to give out. My heart hammered against my ribs, almost overshadowing the pack

Just as realization dawned on me, he added. “Alpha instructed you stay in your room.”My mouth dropped open. I couldn't believe he would do something so petty. That was the punishment? Keeping me locked in my very comfortable room?I didn't realize I had stayed quiet for a while until Trevor called out. “Luna?”“For how long?” I asked, gritting my teeth in annoyance.“He didn't say.”With a huff, I sat on the bed, tapping my feet. There was nothing to do, so I tried on the grand dresses in my closet, sang to myself, anything to fill the silence, and eventually fell asleep.When I woke, it was past dinner. A tray of food sat by my bed. Chayil must have brought it. The portion was small, but I wolfed it down and read until I drifted off again.By morning, another tray was waiting. This one even smaller, more like a prisoner’s meal. I pushed it away in disgust.Then I heard voices arguing outside, Sofia’s among them. I rushed to the door.“Trevor,” I called out, standing by the door.“Y

Many times, I've thought Alpha Moretti could turn out to be a decent human. And each time, I've been disappointed.After he made that statement, saliva dried in my mouth, and I swallowed hard, the muscles in my throat tightened as I tried to hold back my fear.I had no idea what he meant, but I knew I was about to find out.The gorgeous dark green dress I wore began to feel itchy, and my fingers grew clammy.The car slowed and turned off the main road, the smooth road giving way to a rough, gravel path. The headlights rested on a large building up front.It looked like an abandoned company. As we approached, I noticed two men standing guard by the entrance. They nodded respectfully to Alpha Moretti, and we drove on into the open garage.The garage was massive and was filled with expensive cars. A man with a tattoo that ran down his neck to his wrist opened my door.He was human. I couldn't smell a wolf on him."Sir, ma'am, right this way," he said in a low voice.I followed him into th

Sofia said not to freak out, but for the next two days after we spoke, that was all I did.Perfect timing to vaish on a five-day trip, leaving me alone with my jumbled thoughts. At least, I knew why Alpha Moretti came back for me.It made his threat less threatening. Monster or not, he was an amazing Alpha to his people. Regardless, I didn't want to cross him.The strange eyes from my dream never returned. Probably because I had something bigger to focus on.Sofia thinks Makayla might be back.It sounded impossible, but I wished more than anything that it were true, so I kept speaking to the silence in my head and losing my mind in the process.“Mind if I help you with that?” I heard someone say from behind, breaking me out of my daydream where I could talk to Makayla.I was standing over my garden, holding a gardening shovel, and I had apparently been standing for a while for someone to notice.“Giovanni. Hello there,” I greeted with a warm smile, which he returned.“Luna. I hope you

A flower bloomed…. because of me.Wait, I'll rephrase that.I touched a flower bud, and it fully bloomed three days later. All of the flower buds remained in their previous states as buds, except that one.I had to cancel the training with Maria so I could stumble back into my room to think about what I had seen.The whole thing sounded bizarre even to me.There was no logical reasoning to explain how an immature flower bud bloomed into a flower in three days while the rest of the garden was still budding.And this happened only after I touched that one. I figured it was connected to the strange occurrences that happened with the lightbulbs and the lamp in my room weeks before.I didn't know what was happening to me.The only other person who knew about it at that time was Trevor, and I didn't think having a heart-to-heart with my personal guard was really the way to go.“What is happening to me, Makayla?” I asked in a whisper while I sat in the bathtub.I needed some explanation, any
