Lahat ng Kabanata ng A Contract with the Cursed Alpha: Kabanata 31 - Kabanata 40

Dahlia’s P.O.VI just stood there, staring completely stunned, as Elijah stormed out of the room, watching his back as he disappeared, still unable to piece together the moment. I didn't even realize how tightly I was holding my breath until Killian turned toward me.“You alright?” he asked, his voice suddenly softer, stripped of the edge it had just seconds ago.“Yeah,” I said, blinking a few times as Korina helped steady me. “I’m fine. Not hurt.”Relief washed over his face in an instant. His shoulders dropped and he gave a small nod.“Good,” he murmured. Then he turned slightly, glancing at Korina with a grateful look. “Thanks for stepping in. You were really brave today.”Korina smiled with pride as Killian reached over to pat her hair, brushing a lock of hair behind her ear with brotherly affection.It was a sweet moment between siblings, and I could tell by Korina’s expression that the moment came to her just as much of a surprise as it was of delight. She hadn’t expected her ha

Dahlia’s P.O.VI stared at the contract again, fingers twitching slightly as I flipped to the third page, my eyes scanning the cold, crisp text that felt more like a business proposal than anything remotely close to what we were trying to build. If that’s what we were doing. Trying. That word barely fit anymore. There was no trying with Killian. There was only doing. And if you couldn’t keep up, you got shut out—cordially, politely, but effectively. I sighed and sat back, the thick paper heavy in my lap.“He really doesn’t believe me,” I whispered, almost to myself, but the weight of it sank in my chest like a stone.“Of course he doesn’t. He’s already decided I’m here for something.”Because of course I am. Who wouldn’t think that? Cade has my parent’s pack wrapped in his greedy, bloodied fists, and Killian—Killian is the

Dahlia’s P.O.VThe next morning, I decided I wasn’t going to wait for someone to deliver the signed papers to Killian. No, I was going to take them to his office myself, partly because I wanted to get it over with and partly because… well, I didn’t trust anyone else to handle it properly…without leaking private information. But the moment I stepped out of my room, I stopped dead in my tracks.The hallway that had been plain and empty yesterday was now buzzing with activity, maids carrying ribbons and garlands, servants hauling in crates filled with flowers, and a few guards even trying to help hang things up, though they looked about as comfortable as wolves in a china shop.“What on earth—?” I muttered, clutching the papers tighter as I stepped around a pile of golden drapes lying on the floor.“Excuse me,” I called out to one of the maids rushing past, “what’s going on here?” She just smiled, muttered something about “preparations,” and darted off before I could press her.By the ti

Dahlia’s P.O.VI froze for a moment, staring at him, my mouth parting just slightly at the sheer boldness of what he had just said. “Killian,” I whispered sharply, my eyes darting around the garden, scanning every corner, every shadow, to make sure no one was lurking, or pretending to tend to the flowers while eavesdropping. My heart was hammering in my chest, not because I was afraid, but  because the man had no sense of subtlety sometimes.“You can’t just say things like that out loud,” I hissed under my breath, still glancing over my shoulder like someone might pop out from behind a hedge at any moment.He didn’t even flinch. In fact, that smug little smile of his grew even more infuriating. “Dahlia,” he said, his voice low but dripping with confidence, “I’m the Alpha King, I can sense my people from miles away. I know when someone’s nearby. And right now,&r

Killian’s P.O.V "Goddammit…" I muttered, unable to help myself. "W-what's wrong—?" she began to ask, letting go of my finger as she started to look worried, but I cut her off by capturing her lips in yet another kiss. She didn't protest and melted into my mouth, into my touch. When we finally broke it off, we were both gasping. "I need you, Dahlia." I panted, looking into her eyes. "I thought I could hold back…but, god, I need to get inside you, Dahlia. I don’t think I can hold back anymore." "Do it," she said, her confidence shocking me yet again. "I need you inside me too." That did it.  I got off the bed, unbuckling my pants in the process. Her eyes never left me as I pulled down my pants, along with my underwear and kicked them aside, exposing myself completely to her eyes.
