Lahat ng Kabanata ng Cursed Bond of the Alpha: Kabanata 31 - Kabanata 40

Selvara’s POVThe first thing I felt was the cold as the damp earth pressed against my cheek. When I tried to move, pain shot up my arms. My wrists were bound tight behind my back, the rope cutting into my skin.My eyes opened slowly, the world around me swimming in a haze. I could still feel the poison's effect, dulling my senses, making my every breath heavy. I sucked in air anyway, forcing my mind to clear.The forest was quiet, save for the swooshing of trees. My heart dropped. I wasn’t dead and whoever had taken me didn’t want me dead. The poison had been strong enough to knock me out, though not strong enough to kill. That meant they wanted me alive.But why?I struggled against the ropes, twisting my wrists but nothing gave. My wolf paced frantically inside me, clawing and urging me to break free but my body was weak and my heat began burning beneath my skin, leaving me sluggish.I clenched my teeth but even panic would not help me now. A twig snapped and my breath caught, as

Selvara’s POVThe guards dragged me across rough ground until we reached a stone house. They shoved me inside and I stumbled, hitting the floor hard. It was a small, dark room. There were no windows, only a thin mat on the ground. The air smelled of dust and sweat.The door slammed shut behind me. I sat there, shaking with my hands bound. I could see one of them looking at me with hungry eyes as I tried to cover myself with my hands as much as I thought I could. They had made me change into a tank top and a bum short that barely covered my thighs. I at one point had to look sideways when I noticed they were staring too much.Time passed slowly. Minutes? Hours? I didn’t know as my throat was dry, my head heavy. Then I heard footsteps coming towards the door, the guards stood straight as the door slammed open. I looked up, heart racing.A tall man stood in the doorway. His presence filled the room and even I could feel the authority he commands. The guards stepped back as he entered an

Selvara ’s POVThe first thing I felt when I woke up was the cold sting of iron around my wrists. I tried to lift my hands, but they wouldn’t move as they were heavy chains locking me to the bed.My breath came fast as I tried again, harder this time, but the chains only rattled and dug into my skin.Where am I? I wonderedThe ceiling above me was painted white and I could perceive the strong faint smell of herbs and medicine and for a moment, my chest filled with hope. Was I back in our pack’s healing ward? I opened my mouth to call out on anyone around, but before I could, the door swung open. My head snapped to the door only to find Alpha Darius standing there. It was only then that I realized that I wasn't home. I was still trapped at Shadowfang. Two men followed Alpha Darius in, both dressed in white robes. They were the healers, I realized. One came closer, checking the wound on my leg while another pressed cool fingers to my wrist.“She’s stable now,” one said. “It was jus

Zyros’s POVMy horse jerked forward as we passed through the forest. I leaned low over the saddle and pushed harder.I could feel Selvara right now. The bond that had been faint for days suddenly came alive in my chest. And at first, it was just a pull, but then I heard a soft voice echoing in my head."Zyros… please save me. Zyros, please save me" was what it said.I bent forward and whispered to myself. “I’m coming. I’ll get you out, even if it kills me.”The forest suddenly started shaking as I heard the sound of hooves behind me. I pulled my horse to a stop as my stallion reared. I could see light coming forward, and the leaves rustled. For a moment, I got scared thinking if they were assassins sent to stop me. I waited there ready to fight, but when I saw the person on the horse clearly, it was Valen.He slowed his horse, and I could see two of our guards riding behind him. My chest tightened with anger as I didn't want to see him at all. His betrayal was still fresh in my mind.

Selvara’s POVMy chest hammered as Queen Celine’s footsteps drew closer. She went straight to the curtain where I was hiding and my hands pressed hard against my mouth, trying to keep even the sound of my breathing silent.The fabric ripped open in one pull and her eyes landed on mine. My whole body froze and I was sure she would drag me out by the hair. But her brows pulled together like she hadn't seen me. She leaned closer, then looked past me.“What?” she muttered. Her eyes searched the corner, up and down, then she pulled the curtain wider. Still, she didn’t see me. Her eyes slid across me, as if I was not even standing there. I almost gasped. I could feel her breath near me, but she looked through me. Queen Celine let the curtain drop and turned straight to Ravenna. “I thought someone was here,” she said coldly. “Next time, don’t play tricks on me. If I ever find out you’re lying, you’ll pay for it.”Ravena’s voice shook a little. “Yes, Queen Celine.” She responded and without
