Semua Bab Dirty Dancing with the Cursed Alpha : Bab 1 - Bab 10

Audrey's POV “The Alpha wants you in the red room tonight.” Madame Bertha stood in the doorway with her red lips pressed into something that wasn't quite a smile.She only ever looked like that when she wanted something she knew you wouldn't want to give.“The… Alpha?” I echoed, barely trusting my own voice.Around me, the changing room fell into stunned silence.A girl halfway through curling her hair froze. Someone else knocked over a bottle of expensive perfume, the sweet floral scent spreading across the wooden floor. No one bent to clean it. Even the usual chatter died as every pair of eyes landed on Madame Bertha.I set down my mascara wand very slowly. "Why would the Alpha want me?”"That's not my business, sweetheart." Madame Betha stepped fully into the room. She was a tall woman even without heels, and her large breasts were straining through the overly tight shirt she wore. It was her signature look. Her hand came to rest on my shoulders and she grinned. “My business

Audrey's POV I walked back to the dressing room, though I couldn’t remember putting one foot in front of the other.Every step felt heavier than the last. The other girls would ask how the night had gone.What was I supposed to tell them?That the most feared Alpha in the kingdom was my mate… and he hadn’t recognized me?The dressing room buzzed with laughter when I stepped inside.I slipped my porcelain mask onto the vanity and rubbed my face with trembling hands. My skin felt strangely warm, and no matter how deeply I breathed, I couldn’t seem to draw enough air into my lungs.Mate.The word still echoed inside my head and I squeezed my eyes shut.No. It had to be a mistake.The Moon Goddess couldn’t possibly have paired me with Kairos Thornheart.Could she?“Audrey’s back!” Dalia’s excited squeal snapped me from my thoughts.Before I could react, the girls surrounded me, each trying to ask a different question at once.“What was he like?”“Did he really come alone?”“Was he as ha

Audrey's POV The palace was enormous from the outside and although I had pictures of it on the internet, nothing prepared me for standing in front of the majestic building. Especially when with mud on my shoes and dried tears on my face. I paused at the gate, shuddering.The forest had chilled me to the bone three, maybe four, hours ago. I lost track of time after… after everything. I walked the entire way from the riverbank, hiding in the shadows whenever headlights flashed along the road. My eyelids burned and my nails were chapped raw. I buried Leslie with my hands, refusing to leave her body exposed. And in the end, I shoved jagged stones into the dirt to mark her grave. Since then, I locked the memory away. Two guards stood at the gate and at the sight of me, they held their guns higher. "Stop there!" The nearer guard growled. "State your name and business."I snapped my chin up."Leslie Ashton," I spoke with confidence. "Daughter of Alpha Ashton of the Bluemoon Pack. Ope

Audrey’s POV I stared at my reflection in the floor-length mirror, unable to process the girl looking back at me. The white wedding dress was a little tighter than it should be, hugging my ample bosom and flowing down from my waist like a ball gown. Real diamonds glittered against my collarbone and my hair was arranged in a bridal bun with a small tiara placed on my head. I looked like a princess in a fairytale, but I felt like a ghost walking toward a trap.Everything had moved too fast for me to understand. I didn’t expect the wedding to happen until a few weeks, at least because of my amnesia. But it felt like everyone was eager to be done with the wedding. Especially Leslie’s parents. And because of the activity, I had not found a single second to search the palace for clues about what really happened to Leslie.My fingers tightened around the cold brass key hidden in the folds of my heavy skirts. e.I’m sorry, Leslie, I whispered in my head, feeling hot tears prick the back

Audrey's POV I stayed frozen in place, my throat completely locked up.A deafening roar shattered the silence of the room. Kairos lunged forward, throwing himself beside Damien's body on the floor. He grabbed his son by the shoulders and shook him violently."Damien! Wake up!" Kairos yelled, his voice cracking. "Damien! Open your eyes!"My parents burst through the double doors a second later, surrounded by guards. My mother gasped, horror instantly painting her face as her eyes landed on the blood pooling on the floor and my trembling hands. She sprinted across the stone, rushing straight to my side"Leslie!" she demanded, reaching out to grab my arms, her eyes wildly scanning my torn dress and bruised skin. "What happened?”I couldn't speak. My lower jaw shook uncontrollably. I opened my mouth, but no sound came out."She poisoned him!" Kairos snarled, leaping to his feet. He pointed a finger directly at my face. "Look at him! He was poisoned, and she was the only one in this r
