Marked by the alpha's curse のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 7

Alia’s POVThe night had been uncannily quiet. I felt a certain feeling; it was dark and gloomy. I should've known something was about to happen.I remember thinking how peaceful it looked, with the moon resting softly over the courtyard and the air still and quiet. ”So beautiful,” I muttered. I had always loved watching the moon. My dad would bring me out so we could watch the moon. He would tell me stories about the moon goddess. I smiled at the memories; it's been ages, but it felt like yesterday. The night was moving too slowly, or perhaps it was I who was in a rush. Tomorrow…” Finally, I will be out of this place for good.” I thought aloud. I couldn't wait for tomorrow. The mating ceremony. I would finally belong somewhere. I was to be bound to Alpha Cole; he was my mate, my first love.I thought of Cole. I missed his presence. I walked past the wide passage, and my eyes moved to catch Cole's brown hair. “Is Alpha Cole in his chambers?” I asked a maid who came out of Cole’s cha

Kael’s POV The night was edgy. I felt an uneasy feeling deep inside me. The scent of blood and dust still lingered in the air. I drew a sharp breath; it smelled of victory. I smiled in satisfaction. I had spent hours tracking rogues that had crossed the border. We matched on dry leaves, stepping on the blood of dead rogues. The forest was quiet now, the rest of the rogues had gone into hiding. Raze, my wolf paced inside me, restless. “What's that scent?” he growled. I ignored him and kept walking. The moon was at its peak today, shining through the trees, brightly lighting the ground just enough for us to see our parts. I kept walking towards a certain direction, searching- but not for rogues. A strange force kept pulling me, beckoning me to move farther. Then I saw her. I drew out my sword, pointing it at her. I thought she was one of the rogues who fled to hiding. She lay there, motionless under a tree. She was stained with blood and dirt. Her hair spilt across the ground in t

Alia’s POV I blinked my eyes as the light hit them, sending a sharp pain through my eyes. My body ached badly as I tried to move. I tried again, but a sharp pain shot to my ribs. I gave up, falling lazily back to this oddly comfortable bed,” so comfy”, I muttered, enjoying the feeling it gave me. I was lying on soft white sheets, the air smelled of pine, smoke, and something else I couldn't wrap my head around. But it had a darker smell that made my pulse quicken. When I opened my eyes and scanned the room for the first time, the wall was made of rough wood, the ceiling was dark, and the only source of light was the lit fireplace. Then a voice came from the shadow. “You’re awake.” The voice was deep, rough, and surprisingly calm..The kind that could make anyone fall weak to their knees; it did something to my body. I turned in the direction of it And there he stood. He stepped slowly into the light, he was tall and with broad shoulders, his presence filling up the empty spac

Kael’s POVThe council were all seated waiting for me at the council chambers.Twelve council members were already seated with unpleasant faces as they spoke to each other.The moment I stepped in, their eyes locked on me.“Alpha Vale,” Elder Jorin began, “we heard you brought in a girl from Duskwatch. Is this true?”I took my seat at the head of the table. “Yes.”A heavy silence dropped across the room.Elder Mira stood abruptly. “An enemy? In our home? Do you know what this means? For all we know she could be a spy.”The others murmured, their voices rising. I clenched my jaw.“She is not a spy,” I said calmly.“Not yet,” Elder Varyn spat. “But she could be. Duskwatch will use anyone as a weapon. Even a weak girl.”A growl built in my chest before I could stop it. Raze pushed forward, triggered by the insult.“She is no weapon,” I said, trying to keep my voice level. “She was wounded at our borders. My patrol found her almost dead.”“And why should that matter to us?” Mira snapped.
