Lahat ng Kabanata ng Cursed Bond of the Alpha: Kabanata 11 - Kabanata 20

SLEVARA’S POVZyros grabbed my hands before I could say anything, we heard the howl again loud and this time, my heart thudded loud. It was my heat mixed with fear.Zyros’s hand was still locked around mine as we broke through the tree line. My lungs burned, my legs trembled, but he didn’t slow until the gates of the pack house came into view. His grip was iron, almost bruising even, but I didn’t dare let go.The courtyard was already in chaos by the time we got back to the pack. Warriors rushed to their posts, the sound of howls still carrying from the forest behind us. Elders shouted orders, the younger wolves stood frozen, uncertain about what to do.“Double the guards!” Zyros barked, his voice cutting through the noise. “Every entrance sealed. Get the women and pups inside. Now!” The command rolled through the air, heads bowed instantly, bodies moved without hesitation. I swallowed hard, my heart still thundering.We stepped through the gates and only then did he release my hand.

Selvara’s POVMy back ached as I bent to gather the damp towels littering the courtyard. They stank of sweat as they were used by the warriors who had just finished their morning drills, but I didn’t dare complain. Everyone else had left, and I was the only one left to clean up.The pile was heavy in my arms, as I struggled to balance so I wouldn't fall. Breakfast didn't go round that morning, so some of us would have to starve till dinner, and I was lucky to be one of them.I knelt for another towel when footsteps clicked behind me and my stomach tightened. I didn’t need to turn to know who it was.“Still working?” Kaela’s voice rang behind me. I straightened quickly, lowering my head. “Yes, my lady.”“Good. Your diligence is… admirable.” She stepped closer, the hem of her fine dress brushing the dirt. “But this doesn't really work for you, is it? You should be grateful because If not for the pack, where else would you be?”I clutched the towels tighter. “Yes, my lady.”Kaela’s smil

SELVARA’S POVThe council chamber broke into noise the moment Zyros collapsed. As the warriors rushed forward, Valen shouted for help while the Council of Elders muttered among themselves.I didn’t want to let go of his hand. His blood stained my fingers and it felt like if I just held on, I could keep him breathing. But a guard tore me away so hard my wrist burned.“Know your place, omega,” he snapped coldly.Valen barked orders as he and two warriors half-carried Zyros’s body down the corridor. His head lolled to the side as blood dripped from the corner of his mouth. He looked lifeless and the sight carved into my chest like a blade.“Zyros!” I tried again, but Queen Celine’s hand landed on my shoulder like iron.“You shame us, Selvara.” She hissed in my ear. Her grip was sharp and dug hard into my skin. “Throwing yourself at him in front of the council? Do you want to die?”“I...I only wanted...”“Silence.” Her voice was so cold it froze me. “If you touch him like that again, I wi

SELVARA’S POVI didn’t remember running. My legs felt too wobbly to do that, and I was barely holding myself up.One moment I was at his door, staring at a sight that shattered me, the man my wolf called mate tangled up with his chosen bride, and the next, I was halfway down the corridor, hand clamped over my mouth so no one would hear the sob clawing out of me.My wolf was thrashing inside me. She howled so loud it made me sick. Images of them tangled up flooded back into my memory, the moans refused to leave my ears, how he moaned in pleasure. They didn't even know I was there until I made a sound. Kaela was naked, with her mouth clutched down under him like she had always been doing it. He had held her waist, gripping her breasts like his hands belonged there.No, he was not mine. He was never mine.I whispered it again and again, trying to convince myself. But my wolf wouldn’t listen. She tore at me wildly, begging to go back to him.I stumbled to my room, locked the door, and sli

Zyros’s POVI had just removed my boots and was reaching for the bed when I heard Elder Ronan’s voice from the corridor. It wasn’t unusual for him to roam late into the night, but what froze me was the second voice I heard, trembling and crying. It was Selvara.Every muscle in my body went rigid. My wolf slammed against me, raking at the inside of my chest. I crossed the room in two strides and gripped the door handle.I should probably go out to check what was happening. I thought to myself, but I stopped, pressing my forehead against the wood instead.If I stepped out there now, Ronan would use it against me. He would say I had broken the order of the Elders, that I had interfered in matters of discipline. Whatever was happening out there had finally given Ronan a chance against her. Still, the sound of her muffled cries, her pleas cut through me. The mate bond flared so hot it felt like it was my own skin was being whipped. Each lash she received sent shivers down my spine. I cle
