All Chapters of Spirit bound by the Alpha's curse: Chapter 141 - Chapter 150

Almost two months had passed since I'd been at death's door.I had no idea what really happened, but according to what Atlas told me, Morwen and the other witches had performed a ritual that was supposed to be forbidden. Everyone thought it was too dangerous, and that either I or my baby wouldn't survive it, but we did. However, since I woke up and recovered, I hadn't seen Morwen. Atlas said she was probably staying away because she had strongly advised against the ritual and didn't know how to face me. She'd also ignored all the letters I sent telling her I wanted to see her and thank her properly. I could technically go and see her myself, but Atlas would have an aneurysm if I even stepped one foot out of the palace. It was like his overprotectiveness had been cranked up a notch after my near brush with death. I rubbed at my lower back, putting more pillows underneath me so I could lean back. My stomach was so large that it felt like I was going to pop any day now, and I was re

Pain. That was the first thing I felt when I woke up.Sharp, debilitating pain that made me feel like I was going insane. My vision swam and my limbs were heavy, but that was just the lingering effects of the wolfsbane tranquilizers I'd been injected with. I had no time to be furious about the treatment I, the King had received at the hand of mere subjects. All I could think of was Cora. My Cora. Where was she? I'd felt our mate bond ripping apart, I know I did. That could only happen if Cora was at death's door. But now, I could still feel what remained of the bond. It was fragile, tenous. That meant Cora was alive, but just barely. I looked around and recognized one of the guest bedrooms in the house. Forcing myself to my feet, I staggered out of the room and immediately bumped into two guards outside the door.They immediately got into a fighting stance when they saw me, but I didn't care. "Where is she?" Wordlessly, they pointed me in the direction of my bedroom. The f

I'd never felt like this before. There was an emptiness in me, a gaping hole that refused to be filled no matter how much I wanted it to. It hurt, so badly. Panting hard, I forced my eyes open and looked around the room. A man leaned over me, worry apparent on his tear stained face. His eyes were red-rimmed, his hair messy. His clothes were half torn. "Cora." When he said my name, his voice broke. I felt a little twinge of sympathy for him, even though I didn't recognize him."Who— who are you?" I asked. The man looked like someone had plunged a knife in his chest. He moved a bit closer, his expression turning pleading. "Do you... Do you not recognize me, Cora?"Slowly, I began to shake my head, then it all came coming back in a rush. I gasped, grabbed my head as a sudden piercing pain coursed through me. "Cora!" He panicked, looking confused. "Atlas!" I gasped, the gaping hole in my chest feeling like it was expanding. Atlas clutched me to him, hugging my tight as if than

"What?" I blurted. "What do you mean turn back the hands of time?" Lily asked. "That's not possible...is it?" "Hehe. I didn't mean that literally," Saoirse corrected. "Then what did you mean?" Cassian asked. "I just meant that to break the curse, we have to undo what's been done."There was silence for a while. "What does that mean?" I asked. "We have to remove the ban on witchcraft?" I knew Saoirse had made us promise that we would help her do that, but I had no idea how that would even be achieved, much less that it would turn out to be the answer we'd been looking for all along."Yes," Saoirse replied. "But not just that. Witches aren't the only ones who've suffered. Wolves have also died at our hands when we could, just for revenge. Also, what happened to Cora isn't something that can just be brushed over. Both sides did wrong, and we have to acknowledge that, and forgive. Only then do we have a hope of sorting through anything.""I don't know if you noticed," Cassian said,

"Iris!" Lily yelled my name from the other side of the gym. "Over here!"A few pack members were outside sparring, and the rest, like Lily, were working out in the gym. Cassian looked conflicted, glancing between me and Lily. "I'm not sure I'm comfortable with this," he mumbled. "Aren't you supposed to be with Max helping the others train?" I asked."You can come with me," he said hopefully. I snorted. "As if I know enough to train anyone. I'll just work out a bit with Lily. And look, Saoirse is here." I waved at Saoirse who was just getting to the gym, and she walked towards us instead of towards Lily like she originally was. "Great," Cassian muttered. "Didn't think I'll see you here," Saoirse said by way of greeting. "Why not?" I asked. "Uh... because you have a powerful wolf and a mate that probably won't let you out of his sight?" I rolled my eyes. "Althea can fight, yes, but I can barely do anything in this form. And I'm not depending on Cassian to protect me."Cassian
