The Cursed Alpha King is My Second Chance Mate의 모든 챕터: 챕터 41 - 챕터 48

Avery's Point Of ViewI woke with a sharp, dreadful jolt, my breath hitching as though I’d been running for miles. My hand flew to my chest instinctively, pressing hard over my heart as if I could physically force it to slow down. It was racing... wild, uneven, like it had just escaped something terrible.“What was that…?” I whispered to no one.The room was quiet, peaceful even, yet my body refused to believe it. Slowly, painfully, I drew in one breath… then another. It took several minutes before the tight knot in my chest loosened enough for me to sit up.When I finally stepped out of my room, the contrast nearly made me dizzy.Sunlight filtered softly through the halls. The air smelled clean, warm, safe. I caught my reflection in a polished surface and froze. My skin, no longer dull or sickly glowed with life. My hair had grown thicker, longer, cascading down my back in glossy waves. I looked… healthy. Whole.It still felt unreal.Laura’s voice echoed faintly from somewhere down t

Kaiden's Point Of View“As of today,” I said, my voice echoing through the council chamber, “we are cutting off our alliance with these two packs; the Moonwalker Pack and the Krypta Clan.”I paused deliberately, letting the words sink in, watching reactions ripple across the long obsidian table. Chairs shifted. Hands clenched. Heads leaned together. Low murmurs filled the air like the buzzing of insects.Whispers.Again.My jaw tightened.I raised a hand slowly, and the room fell into an uneasy quiet. When I spoke again, my tone was glacial. “If you have opinions or dissatisfactions, I would prefer you voice them openly rather than whispering amongst yourselves, knowing fully well that I can hear every single word you say.”A few elders straightened instantly. Others avoided my gaze.Cowards.My eyes swept the room, lingering on each face until the tension became unbearable. Finally, an elder seated near the far end of the table rose to his feet. His back was straight, but his fingers

Kaiden's Point Of ViewI grabbed the man’s arm in an iron grip, my fingers digging into muscle and bone, my strength barely restrained. Power rolled off me in suffocating waves as my voice dropped into a lethal whisper.“Get your hands off her.”The world seemed to freeze.Derrick stiffened instantly, his body going rigid beneath my hold. His eyes flew to mine, wide and startled, pupils dilating as the full weight of my presence crashed into him. Fear bled into the air... sharp, acrid, unmistakable.Snowy’s violet eyes widened, shock flashing across her face. Her lips parted as if she wanted to speak, but no sound came out. She stared at me like I was something she didn’t recognize, something dangerous.“Alpha Kaiden,” Derrick stammered, swallowing hard. His voice trembled despite his attempt to remain respectful. “I... I didn’t mean—”“Did I stutter?” I growled, tightening my grip just enough to make my point painfully clear. My gaze bored into his, cold and merciless. “Put. Her. Dow

Avery's Point Of ViewAs I raised my head, my cheek still stinging from the slap, my gaze locked onto her... Maya.Of course it was her.She stood before me like she owned the space, chin lifted, arms crossed tightly over her chest, her lips curled into a smug, venomous smirk. The same woman from the boutique. The same shrill voice. The same inflated sense of importance.She looked pleased. Far too pleased.“You,” she spat, dragging the word out like it tasted bitter on her tongue. “We meet again. This time, you’ll pay for humiliating me back then.”A hush fell over the surrounding crowd.I straightened slowly, deliberately, refusing to rub my cheek again even though it throbbed. I rolled my shoulders back, lifted my chin, and met her glare without flinching. If she expected tears or fear, she would be sorely disappointed.“Humiliating you?” I echoed mildly, a slow, amused smile curving my lips. “You mean at the boutique?”Her eyes flickered.“Or,” I continued smoothly, tilting my hea
