All Chapters of Luna To The Blood Cursed Alpha: Chapter 1 - Chapter 7

LEA's POV"You missed a spot."The mop handle cracked against my ribs before I registered the movement, and I didn't cry out, I couldn't, not unless I planned to worsen things. Garrett's boot shoved my shoulder, and I caught myself before my face met the toilet I'd been scrubbing for the past hour. "Right there. See it?"I saw nothing but porcelain so white it hurt my eyes, but I nodded as I should always nod and always agree."Yes, Gamma."He spat into the bowl. "Pathetic. The great Lea Blackthorne, on her knees where she belongs."The great Lea Blackthorne, the name felt like a costume I'd worn in another life, one that no longer fit. I was twenty-one years old, and I couldn't remember the last time someone had called me by my full name without sneering like it was some horrible joke.Garrett finally left, and I was finally free enough to sit back on my heels and pressed a hand to my side where I was kicked earlier; thankfully, it was not broken. I'd learned to tell the difference b

Lea's POVLife is nothing without risk or so I told myself as I made the decision to stay and find evidence and answers to margot's claim and I knew I wont be able to forgive myself if something happens to my packmates, I knew they all hated me but my parents had loved everyone and I owe it to them to prove my brother's innocence or confirm their worst suspicion.Where do I start? Somehow my eyes kept returning to his desk, the same desk that contained drawers I'd never dared open and the locked cabinet in the corner where he kept important documents. Like father did when he was alive, it's still pretty much the same settings.I was running a cloth over his desk in case anyone was passing when I noticed a small smear of blood on the corner, barely visible against the dark wood. This is definitely fresh blood; it wasn't there when I was called to his office yesterday evening, which could only mean that this blood stain was from last night or midnight.My stomach turned. Who had Damian

Lea's POVThe drive to Royal Shifts took hours, and with each passing mile and hour, the chains grew heavier, burning my wrists. The smell of burning flesh filled the car, but they all ignored me, talking about how fun it was to kill the rebellious wolves. The spot where the silver bit into my skin was bleeding as well.The warriors kept talking amongst themselves, ignoring me completely despite my low, whimpering cries from the pain and loss of blood. They discussed the rebellion as if it were entertainment."Did you see Marcus try to shift? Man, that was Pathetic. The Alpha tore his throat out before he completed the transformation.""Margot was worse, see how she begged for her life at the end, like anyone would pity her useless existence."I closed my eyes and tried not to listen. I tried not to think about Margot's pale face or the way she'd tried to warn me. Eventually, we crossed into Royal Shifts territory and, strangely.enough I felt it immediately. The air itself felt diffe

Lea's POVRowan had wrapped both my hands before he let me leave that morning.He did it without being asked, without making a thing of it. He unwound the old bandaging with steady fingers and cleaned each knuckle as it mattered. I sat on the edge of the treatment mat and watched him work and tried to remember the last time someone had touched me without it meaning something bad was coming.I couldn't.He double-wrapped the left one because the skin had broken deeper there, and told me to keep both out of bleach water for at least a day. I nodded and didn't tell him that wasn't possible. He knew. He wrapped it twice anyway.I thought about that later that morning, standing over Mirabeth's laundry, my hands submerged to the wrist in water that stung every time it found a gap in the bandaging.The silk dresses floated pale and clean on the surface, and I worked through them one by one and tried to keep my mind on what I was doing.I really did try.The problem was the courtyard.Not eve
