Semua Bab Offered To The Cursed Alpha: Bab 11 - Bab 20

Isabella woke to an empty room. Killian had never returned. He must have gone to spend the night with his girlfriend. Yes—of course—that had to be it.Still, the thought brought an awful, twisting ache to her chest. He had made it clear last night that he loved someone else.Fine. She could endure this. She hadn’t expected anything from this marriage, anyway.A knock sounded at the door before it clicked open. Isabella quickly pulled the duvet up to cover herself as Rose peeked in.“Good morning.”Isabella smiled faintly. “Good morning.”“How did you sleep last night?” Rose’s gaze drifted to the oversized sweatshirt covering Isabella’s small frame, and her eyes widened. “Oh, Goddess! I’m so sorry—I completely forgot to bring you sleepwear last night. You had to sleep in those boring sweats of Killian’s.”If only Rose knew how comfortable Isabella had felt sleeping in them.“It’s alright,” Isabella replied with a soft smile.“Where’s Killian?” Rose asked, glancing around the room.I

When Killian heard his father announce the marking and mating rituals, his eyes instinctively found Isabella. She stood with her head bowed, fingers twisting nervously in front of her. The sight pulled last night’s memories into his mind.Across the crowded hall, his gaze caught Maya’s. Her eyes blazed red with anger, fixed on him like a predator ready to strike. Killian’s jaw tightened. He was trapped—between his father’s will and Maya’s love. But to him, it wasn’t really a choice. He wasn’t doing this just because his father demanded it. No—this was because the pack wanted a Luna. And his father had already chosen Isabella.Seven priests stepped onto the stage, their long robes sweeping against the wooden floor. They began chanting in low, rhythmic tones, their voices weaving together like an ancient song. Holy water sprinkled across Killian and Isabella, the droplets cool against his skin.He glanced at his father. The older man stood tall, his expression firm but warm, offering a

Killian’s voice was cold, clipped. “Where is my wife?”Rose blinked at him, her brow arching high. “Your wife? Really?”“Give me an answer, Rose.” His tone dropped into the firm, commanding cadence of an Alpha.She flinched at the sound but didn’t back down. “Why do you care?” she asked, her voice edged with annoyance.“Step aside and let me see for myself,” he ordered.The flicker of frustration burning in her brother’s eyes made Rose’s stomach twist, but she stood her ground, squaring her shoulders. “No. She’s staying here with me for the night.”“I’m taking her with me,” Killian declared, moving toward the door.Rose’s arm shot out horizontally, blocking his path. “You’re not going in there.”“Stop being a child, Rose.” His patience was wearing thin.“Exactly,” she shot back. “Stop being a jerk. Haven’t you done enough to make Isabella cry?” She tapped her foot, glaring up at him.“What did I do?” His brows knitted together, genuine confusion slipping into his voice.“Really, Killi

Killian’s shadow loomed over her as he planted his hands on either side of Isabella’s body, trapping her in place. She leaned back, trying to create space, but the back of her head hit the ground. She winced, and his eyes darkened with concern.“Isabella…” His voice was low as he leaned closer, and just as she lifted her head, their lips brushed — accidentally, yet the spark was instant and undeniable. Isabella gasped, her eyes widening.Killian’s control wavered as he felt her breathing quicken, each reaction to his breath, his touch, and his kiss driving his wolf into a frenzy.His hand threaded through her long, golden-blonde curls, tilting her head to the angle he wanted. His lips brushed the fine line of her jaw, trailed to her chin, then moved slowly down the curve of her neck. When he reached just behind her ear, he nipped and lingered, his mouth claiming the spot until a faint mark bloomed there.Isabella’s breath hitched, a soft sound escaping her lips. Her fingers curled int

Killian mind-linked Ethan, ordering him to prepare a full report on how the rogue had entered their territory. He also summoned all the security chiefs for an urgent meeting.Within minutes, the office was filled with the low shuffle of boots and the faint scent of rain-soaked fur. Killian stood behind his desk, his gaze sweeping over the gathered men. All the warriors bowed before their Alpha, their postures tense and alert."Ethan," Killian began, his alpha voice steady but edged with steel, "how did that rogue get into our territory?" His pack’s safety was never negotiable.Ethan stepped forward. "It looks like he came in through the river on the north side of the forest," he reported.Killian’s jaw tightened. He turned to Joel, his chief of security. "Post guards near the river, but make sure they’re trained for underwater combat before deployment.""Yes, Alpha," Joel replied with a firm nod.Killian’s gaze moved to the rest of them. "I want all borders on high alert. Not even a b
