Semua Bab The Rogue King's Cursed Mate : Bab 41 - Bab 50

★ RYKERMy palm flew over my face as the door slammed shut. My whole body still hummed with the aftereffect of what we had done.What my mate and I had done.It felt right, goddess! It felt almost overwhelming. I huffed within my palms, remembering how my whole body had stood at alert when her scent had broken through the door of my room.At first, like smoke, her scent was weaving through the air into my room. Then next, I felt her presence in front of my door, and it suddenly turned into a drug; an addictive one, webbing into every cell of my body. Making a certain area rise without permission.I had dropped my glass of wine on the stool, stood, walked to the door in very silent, slow steps, then back to the bed. But she was still there, breathing, standing, and maybe thinking if walking into my room was a great idea.It wasn't.I had taken off my shirt, hung it on the clothes rack near the wardrobe, then strode back towards the sofa where I chugged the wine in one gulp before pouri

˙❥ I watched as the grey-eyed wolf tossed my father aside, baring its blood-stained teeth, and the other wolf, with eyes that were dark as black, void, and empty, trudged forward towards me. My feet stood firm on the ground until it opened its paw, yanking my dress— “Ahh." A throaty scream erupted from within my chest I jolted, breathing heavily and gripping my head in pain. My gown was drenched in sweat, clinging to my skin like a wetsuit, eyes still blurred, slowly opening to the faint light in the room. It's been a long time since I had this nightmare. One that had hunted me for years after the death of my father. The nightmare I thought was over after I came to this pack, suddenly resurfaced. I held my chest, feeling the fast rhythm of its beat. My eyes searched around but there was no one in sight. Just the white ceiling. Clothes were scattered on the bed, and the thick silence of the walls. I took in air into my lungs, trying to calm my racing heart. This dream h

˙❥ The gathering buzzed with tension beneath the calm hush of the trees as Azira and I maneuvered through the crowd. The air reeked of sweat, woods, and the musky scents of werewolves. “Do you think the merging would really take place? Like how does it work?” I whispered, clutching her arm like a kid. Azira didn't respond as she pushed through, creating a way for us. For days, the Pack members have arranged and anticipated this day. We stopped at a hidden area, where a few people were standing. It was hidden, but open enough for one to see what was happening before us. My gaze darted around the crowd. Pack members, old and young, stood under the warm glow of the sun in tight rows, eyes shifting, waiting, and chatting happily. Some had big smiles etched on their faces, while others couldn't hide the ecstasy in their voices as they spoke. At the front of the crowd, two banners — the silver claw of the Grim howl Pack and the dark-red fang of the Red Fang Pack — stood side b

★ RYKERHer scent wrapped around my nose like a tie. It was too obvious to ignore and too ravenous not to inhale deeply.She was close. Too close maybe, I thought, as my eyes searched the crowd. “Oh, there she was,” I mumbled to myself, my eyes keen on her pale face beneath the shadow of the large tree. To others, she may be hidden but not to me. Her lips were parted slightly as she said something to a slave beside her, probably her friend but her gaze flicked around, looking everywhere else but here.We have just finished the coronation, and the marriage ceremony will begin soon after a brief celebration; yet, my eyes couldn't help but linger in that area.*There's still time, Ryker. Let's call off this marriage and go to our mate*"Can you listen to yourself speak, Karl? The two packs just merged and you know it was possible only because we are getting married. Are you saying we should go back on the vows both packs made?”Karl stilled, for a while before he began jumping inside of

˙❥ VALKYRIEBlood dripped slowly from my feet while I leaped forward. The dense forest stretched like a heavy canopy, darkness thick with every stride I took. I looked back, my brows knotted in pain as I subtly fell on a small hill.Sweat streamed down my body, clinging to my skin like damp silk, and even as the cold air hit me, it barely eased the heat that lingered beneath my skin. I wiped my face with the back of my palm, eyes darting around the forest before pressing my fingers to the open wound.I grimace, groaning and fighting not to cry. In a bid to run away from Ryker, I had ventured far into the forest. I was surprised he wasn't after me.The cloud was thick with black mist, and the once bright moon was ready to rest, but now I was stuck. Stuck in a forest I didn't know the route.“You need to find a way out of here,” I murmured to myself, wedging my weight to my left arm on the hill while I sprang up. I huffed loudly, white fog escaping my lips.While I trudged to only God k
