Alle Kapitel von Cursed Alpha's Plaything: Kapitel 11 – Kapitel 20

ELIRAI'm moving before I can stop myself. My hands fist in her hair and I pull her off the floor, fueled by an adrenaline that I can't explain—nor care to."How dare you?" I scream, my voice catching on a sob. "You've been..."The words fail me, and so do my legs. I fall to the floor as she shoves me aside, her usually soft features glaring down at me, just before she lets her lips stretch in a smile that doesn't hold even an ounce of humor."I didn't do anything. It's not like I can refuse the Alpha."She scurries behind him and grips his arm just as he rises to his feet in a move that's almost slow motion, like some scared little girl. Freaking hilarious given the fact that I'm on the floor, limp as a rag."And what gives you the right to attack her?" Kael asks, his eyes boring holes through my skull.I don't respond to him, instead I let my eyes stay locked on Sarah. "I thought we were friends."She fakes a sob. "I didn't mean to... Alpha and I have been together for far longer tha

ELIRA“You have got to be fucking kidding me!”Brie turns to me with a quirked brow as I exclaim, freezing in place. “What’s wrong?”“We need to leave.” I start to pull her arm, urging her to move.“What? Our reward. We won the bet.”I want to listen, I do. But something about this feels like too much of a coincidence and begs me to hide. I refuse to ignore that plea.“We can come back for it some other time. I’m sure Speed can keep record.”Now that I think about it, the men here do have weird names. I ignore that thought and start to hurry away from the crowded stands. This time, Brie follows behind me. Thank goddess.I move through the dark hallway, pulling on the magic of my wolf to help with my vision. The place that led us even deeper underground to the tracks is labyrinthine, like it’s created with the intention to confuse unwanted trespassers; or make them lost enough to be found by the people that do belong.We make it to the elevator before Brie decides she has had enough an

ELIRAI don't know if it's the fact that he's watching me with a smile that suggests he wants more than just swimming, or the fact that I can't seem to keep my eyes off his chest that's unnecessarily bare—if you ask me. But something about this whole thing makes my heart thump a very aggressive rhythm in my chest. Clearing my throat, I step back again, my back hitting the silver door I just stepped through to get here."Two things matter most here in Club Shadows. One, anonymity. Two, completion." He puts his hands into the pockets of his cargo shorts, taking one more step to bring himself closer to me. I can feel the heat coming off him, and that mixed with the delicious earthy fragrance coming from him makes my throat feel dry.Swallowing, I attempt to speak. "I uhm... I don't think I...""Fangs must be doing a very terrible job of keeping you informed of what goes on in here." He takes one more step, coming to a stop directly in front of me, our chest nearly touching. "There migh

ELIRANow that I think about it, I never did see the first mark he left on me after that day when...I shake my head, the reminder of what led to my current living conditions making my chest feel tight."Maybe it's because you bonded with him on the night of the full moon," a soft voice carries from my head. I pause, a huge smile blooming on my face. Finally. I've been waiting so long for this."What took you so long?" I ask, unable to hide my excitement. "I thought you'd never speak to me." I chastise her even though I don't want to, even though my lips are stretched on a huge grin. I really have been looking forward to this interaction for so long.My other half snickers at my enthusiasm, not taking even a little bit of offense at my tone."You didn't need me then." She pauses after that bit, then in a voice that heralds just how proud of me she is, continues, "You've held on so well. I thought you were going to crumble."I sigh, remembering all the times I had wanted to do exactly

KAELI have no idea how long I stay there, the hard concrete underneath my back as I twitch with the force of madness that is trying to consume me, but eventually the edges of my vision start to clear.Dots still line my vision, but at least I now have control—hazy vision and all.Rising off the ground on shaky feet, my breaths still coming out in labored puffs, I do the one thing I know can curb this. I release the latch between me and my wolf and let him take over. It's about time ruthlessness took over once again."About damn time," Rico smiles into my mind, his voice filled with his obvious pleasure.It's a miracle the beast hasn't managed to drive me insane yet, what with all the fantasizing about violence."Maybe it's because you were born crazy," he retorts, not giving me the chance for a clapback before he forges on. "Sit tight, pretty boy. The hunt is on."And just like that, I'm trapped in the recesses of my own dark mind, the smell of violence sifting through every nook and
