All Chapters of Mated To The Cursed Alpha : Chapter 151 - Chapter 160

Mira's povThree days later, I woke up. The heavy fog in my brain was totally gone.I blinked against the soft light filtering through the window and looked around. Rowan was fast asleep in the oversized chair right beside my bed. Our daughter was sprawled out asleep on his chest, her tiny head tucked right under his chin. Both of them were breathing slowly, their chests rising and falls in perfect sync in the early morning quiet. Honestly, the entire sight of them sitting there like that made my chest ache in the absolute best possible way.I did not move. I just lay there flat on my back and watched them for a long time before either of them even noticed I was awake. I wanted to freeze this moment in my mind forever. Rowan's eyes opened first, the way they always do. It was like some part of his brain was always monitoring the room and keeping guard even when he was dead tired and fast asleep. His gaze snapped straight to mine. The sheer amount of pure relief that crossed his fac

Mira's povThe next morning, I refused to stay in that bed for another second. Elara checked my vitals three times and tried to argue with me, but I just ignored her, got dressed in my usual dark clothes, and told Rowan we were going downstairs right now. He did not like it one bit, but he knew better than to try and stop me when my mind was completely made up.We walked down into the dark cells beneath the castle, the stone walls damp and cold against my skin. Tobias was already waiting for us outside Brennan's heavy metal cell door, holding a ring of keys in his hand."He still hasn't touched a single bite of his food," Tobias told us, his voice echoing slightly in the narrow hallway. "He just sits there like he expects us to beg him for his secrets.""Open the door, Tobias," I said, my voice completely flat.Tobias nodded, slid the heavy iron key into the lock, and turned it with a loud click. Rowan pushed the door open, and we both stepped inside the small, gray room.Brennan was

Mira's povThree months later, the garden was completely quiet in the early morning. The wild summer heat had finally settled, clearing away the last of the heavy gray rain clouds that used to hang over the castle. I sat on the low stone bench beneath the shadow of the tall oak trees, leaning my back against the warm rock wall and just taking a deep breath of the fresh, clean air.Lyra was wide awake in my arms, kicking her tiny legs against my stomach and making little puffing noises with her mouth. She was growing so fast it was actually starting to freak me out a little bit. Her dark hair was thicker now, falling into soft little tufts over her forehead, and every single time she blinked up at me, those bright silver-grey eyes stared back with total, absolute focus. She was already incredibly alert, tracking every single movement in the courtyard like she was trying to figure out how the entire world worked."You are getting way too big," I whispered down to her, using my finger

Tobias's povI managed to drag myself out of that empty bed after getting maybe two hours of sleep. My body felt completely wiped out, but the faint scent of vanilla still lingering on the cheap sheets kept my brain spinning in circles.I jumped into the shower, scrubbing the smell of the tavern out of my hair and trying to force my mind back into gear. I threw on my suit, fixed my tie in the mirror, and checked out of the motel before my thoughts could drift back to that dark alleyway.I drove straight up the winding hill toward the grand Red River pack house, the massive stone building looking incredibly imposing against the morning sun. I parked the car, walked past the armed guards at the front entrance, and was led immediately into the main executive office to wait for the Alpha.I sat down in one of the heavy leather chairs facing the giant wooden desk, crossing my legs and trying to look like a completely professional diplomat from the capital. I needed to act like the Head of

Tobias's povI decided to check into the pack house guest quarters instead of heading back to that depressing motel down the road. The room they gave me was massive, but the air felt completely suffocating. I tried to sit at the small desk to review the border clauses, but my brain was totally fried. Every single time I closed my eyes, the phantom scent of vanilla hit my nose, and my chest throbbed from the pressure of the hidden mate bond.My instincts were screaming at me that something was completely off about this place, and it had nothing to do with Valerie rejecting me. The entire pack house felt way too tense, like everyone was holding their breath waiting for a bomb to go off. I finally threw my pen down, grabbed a dark jacket, and walked out the back exit to clear my head.The cool night air helped a little bit as I started walking the outer perimeter of the estate. The grass was damp beneath my boots, and the moon was high enough to light up the dark tree line surrounding t
