All Chapters of The Cursed Alpha King's Mate: Chapter 1 - Chapter 5

(Nyelle’s POV)The chandelier above the great hall glittered with golden light, each crystal dripping wealth. Laughter rang from the dining tables, wine glasses clinked, the scent of roasted lamb and honeyed bread heavy in the air. For anyone else, this night might have been enchanting.For me, it was torment.I knelt on the marble floor, scrubbing away a red wine stain I hadn’t spilled, the harsh bristles biting into my raw fingers. Each scrape left the skin angrier, redder, but I kept working. My father’s voice carried over the din, booming with false cheer as he entertained our guests.Nineteen today.

But little does he know my father despises me. I remember him demanding I sleep in his room last night, a chill runs through me at the thought of his behaviour, cold and demanding the one minute, and kind gestures the next.It's like the man has multiple personalities...Relief and dissapointment both run through my body as I loo
