All Chapters of Cursed Alpha's Hidden Mate: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Conrad.“My name is Conrad Reign, son of late Lucas and Evangeline Reign. Heir to the Reign Group and future Alpha of the Maelstrom pack. I'm technically about to become the most powerful man in the country, so…”“And yet you're talking to your mirror like a nervous teenager.” I spun swiftly, sighting Clyde leaning against my room's doorframe.“Clyde! Er…how long have you been standing there?” I asked, clearing my throat and walking up to my brother.“Long enough to know how much you're gonna flop your own mating ceremony.” Clyde said, still leaning.His narrow eyes looked at me with a load of disapproval. He wasn't even trying to hide it.“When did you return?” I asked and he finally stood upright.“What does that have to do with anything? I'm here now unfortunately to witness a horrid moment…”I grabbed his shoulder and yanked him backward. Glaring at him, I said, “You will do nothing to disrespect me or sabotage my mating ceremony tonight, is that clear? And need I remind you that

Conrad.I exhaled heavily, then drew in the fresh forest breeze again before releasing it the second time.The meeting with those four Alphas had lasted about forty five minutes. Those were the most tense forty minutes of my life.Being an Alpha wouldn't be easy. That was certain.Now, I needed to calm my nerves and that's why I was standing by the edge of a hill, overlooking the thick forest below.I stretched my arms and legs, ready to jump.And I did.Midair, my bones twisted and my skin morphed into fur. My ears elongated and by the time I landed thirty feet below, I was a five feet black wolf.I howled before dashing into the woods at full speed.Oh…it felt good…I weaved through trees and branches, jumped over shrubs and fallen trunks. I knew the forest like the back of my palm. I'd been racing through it since I first shifted at the age of sixteen.My condition of wolf dormancy-didn't apply to my ability to shift. That's why it's called partial. It only affects some aspects of

Skylar. “Who is she, brother?” The man asked, his expression growing dark. Tension hung in the air like a blanket. My heart thumped as I looked between him and Conrad. “You should go back down, Clyde.” Conrad growled. “As should you!” The man, Clyde, said through gritted teeth. When he took a step forward, I flinched instinctively. The aura around him felt dark and dangerous. In the blink of an eye, Conrad had disappeared from where he stood and was holding Clyde around his neck, pinning him to the wall. I gasped, and my heart raced faster. “She is my mate, and you'll say nothing about this to anyone!” Conrad growled, his voice grave as hell. He was almost choking the life out of Clyde. “Conrad, stop…” “Get a car ready, Skylar. Now!” He prompted, and I felt my legs move towards the balcony and onto the ledge. It was then, as I looked at the ground floor fifteen feet below, that I realized there was no way out. “Conrad, I…” I tried to call him, but a loud crash interrupted m

Conrad.“This is it?” Skylar asked, pulling the car to a stop near a cave.I nodded, looking ahead and trying to pinpoint the guards.“Wait here, I'll go talk to the guards.” I said and made to exit the car.“Conrad, wait, it's in the middle of nowhere. Are you sure this is the right place?” Skylar asked, holding my arm.I cracked a small smile, saying nothing as I made my way to the dark cave through the night.Ridgewood pack was one of the most secretive and solitary packs I knew and that's a lot to say for someone who's made alliances with the majority of the country's packs.“Open up,” I said when I got to the cave. It took a while but the metal door at the cave entrance soon slid open with a disturbing screech.“Who're you?” Asked the man whose head popped out through the slightly opened door.I raised a brow, “Really? Anyway, is Alpha Ace in?”“Who's asking?” The man asked and sighed.“Conrad Reign. Tell him it's urgent and I need his help.” I said, pocketing my cold hands.“Alp

Skylar. "You need to keep calm, Skylar. It can't be that terrible." Conrad said, and I looked up at him."How can you say that? I haven't seen or heard anything of them for seven years now, it's going to be a complete disaster." I whined, fiddling with my fingers nervously.The same pack I had been thrown out of, they discarded me, forgot about me. And now they were coming here, I was going to meet them. My mom, my dad, Alpha Caleb. I shivered as a chill ran through my spine."When are they coming?" I asked."Two days from now, along with two other packs, the arrangements are finalized." Alpha Ace's sister, Leah, said in her curt voice, as if telling me that there was no way it could be cancelled.I couldn't even ask that.I looked up at Conrad, who was standing before me, my brows raised, "I can't let them see me, I...I just can't..." my voice broke as memories that I'd tried to suppress for years began to resurface. The things they did to me, the trauma they inflicted on me."It's
