Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Alpha King's Mate: ZORYA'S CURSE: Kabanata 101 - Kabanata 110

The world slowed to a terrifying stop, and instantly, all sounds became muffled around him as his gaze held the carriage door, unmoving. Behind him, hurried hoof beats shattered the silence, but Regaleon did not hear it. Shane and Garett, who had been following in hot pursuit, emerged through the thinning mist, but the instant the dreadful scene revealed itself to them, the urgency in their voice died before they could even release it. “Alpha…” Shane started to speak but held himself as his eyes caught and narrowed at Regaleon.Neither he nor Garett had expected to see their King frozen before an abandoned carriage despite the devastating sight. Yet, neither dared to disturb him further, especially when Shane caught the black crest on the carriage door. Shane only gestured at Garett, halting him from speaking, but even the movement barely registered with Regaleon as he silently descended from Midnight, his boots meeting the blood-soaked earth without haste.As he walked toward the

Warm blood rolled down beneath his torn tunic, and he looked down, before slowly lifting his fingers to touch the cut. When they came away stained red, he laughed a low unsettling laugh.“There she is…” His deep hazel eyes lifted to meet hers, “...so the stories were true.”At those words, his grin returned, and this time, broader than before. “You’re really the little bitch that scarred Alucard’s face.”The muscles in his arm flexed, and with a savage pull, both the weapon and Lillia were pushed back. Pain exploded through her shoulder, yet she drove the poker forward again. This time, he was ready. He wouldn’t fall for the same attack twice.His free hand shot out and caught her wrist, squeezing tightly until a cry escaped her lips, and Lillia twisted immediately, refusing to let him take control of her balance. Instead of resisting his strength, she stepped into it, diving her knee upwards and landing a hard strike beneath his ribs.Air escaped his lungs in a rough grunt, and his

It was through a corridor like this, with guards before and behind her.And though she wasn’t a hostage, she had felt like one.No… she had felt like an offering, led to be observed and scrutinized by men with numerous mistakes of their own.She could remember the heavy thumping of her heart, and the deep breaths that were forced into her lungs, and yet, somehow, she still lacked air. Her feet had felt like mush, sinking into the solid ground with every step, while somehow still feeling as though she were walking on air.Everything came back one by one like it had happened yesterday—the day she first met the elders of Clearwater.The day that began the downward spiral that would eventually lead to her and her father’s untimely demise.“…or you can follow me and meet the only person that holds both their lives in his hand.”It was a damn good trap, because her feet had moved before she had even willed them to.Like she had kept moving between Clearwater’s guards like a dignified puppet

“What? Are you crazy? There’s no escaping this place.” Raw dread flashed through Selene’s eyes and she backed away from Maera. “Selene—”“No… no… no…” Selene ignored Maera, drowning deeper into the fear that had suddenly seized her, her voice unconsciously rising as she shook her head. “We can’t. It’s impossible.”“Hey, will you shut up, or I will come shut you up.”“Who even are they?”“Look at their dresses, I don’t think they are from around here.”Hostility and assessment flew from all sides, sending Selene further into herself, her shoulders drawing inward as she instinctively lowered her head, but Maera ignored them. “Selene, look at me.” Maera held her hands and watched the guards again, waiting until she was certain none of them were approaching before turning her attention back to her. However, just as she was about to speak, Selene spoke first. “After that man was finished with me, I was kept in a cage like this and continuously used for sport.” Selene’s fingers dug into

What the hell just happened? Fenris hollered wildly, bewildered. I take it back. I take it all back. This is definitely not the apple falling far from the tree case… What even is this? Lillia did not respond. She was still stuck in the aftermath of this man’s oppressive presence. Lillia… Fenris’ voice suddenly grew cautious as she watched him closely through Lillia’s eyes. This man is not ordinary, be careful.No need to say it twice. Lillia answered this time, her thoughts quiet as she watched him without immediately pulling her hands away. This, however, wasn’t because she welcomed the gesture, but because she simply could not decide which part of the man standing before her unsettled her more… the fact that he was smiling so pleasantly with his son’s blood still beneath his shoes, or the fact that his eyes held none of the uncertainty she had expected from a man who knew her identity, and despite that, under his leadership, she and her maidens had been violently attacked and ass
