All Chapters of BOUND TO THE CURSED ALPHA: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

The chambers were majestic with a chandelier hanging in the middle and a royal bed.Still in the revealing nightdress, I stood stunned as the night's events repeated in my mind.“You will enter a life that would bring nothing but destruction.”​“I searched for my mate. Not a bed warmer.”​Separate chambers. A cryptic warning. An Alpha who had waited years for a mate, only to look at her with complete detachment.​What was happening here?​The morning sun had barely cleared the horizon when a soft, familiar knock came at the door.Wind stepped inside, carrying a much more modest, elegant dress over her arm.“Good morning, Evelise. I brought you something more comfortable for breakfast.”​I took the dress with a muted nod. “Thank you, Wind.”​“I heard… from Mateo,” Wind said quietly, setting the clothes on the edge of the bed. “I am sorry.”​I pulled the dress tighter around myself. “Why are you sorry?”​“I thought you guys would…” She gestured vaguely to my dress, shame flooding. “O

My heart was on the verge of bursting from distress. I was wearing his wrath and dragged my heavy feets towards the room. Zarius stood near the table, his broad back facing me. Mateo was at his side, sorting through a thick stack of reports.Wind stood farther away, her expression unusually tense.I stayed at the door, already fidgeting, “You called for me, Alpha…?”“Come closer.”I gulped and stopped a few feet away, my voice barely a whisper. “Alpha.”He finally turned. Those piercing golden eyes settled on me and I forgot to breathe. He wasn't angry—not yet—and that lack of outward rage somehow frightened me far more than a shout.His gaze lingered on my face for a second before dropping to the papers scattered across the table.“Explain.”My lips parted, but nothing came out.He picked up a single document. “The eastern sector was supposed to receive a grain shipment three days ago.”“I approved the shipment.” My voice was trembling as I instinctively raised my hand to bite m

From the edge of the training grounds, I watched Inara command the field. She was a lethal, smooth movement. She was effortlessly disarming a warrior twice her size before giving him a cheerful pat on the shoulder. She was truly an exception though I did not expect the smiles.“She seems so happy,” Wind said, standing beside me and watching her with a smile.“She isn’t usually this lively, is she?”I turned to her slightly, blinking in confusion, “She is not?”“Inara doesn’t treat people with kindness.”Wind crossed her arms at her chest, a small smile playing on her lips as she watched the young captain. “She is no different than Alpha. You are getting this favor because you are her Auntie and she treasures that bond.” The word “Auntie” was totally foreign to me. I never thought I would be anyone’s Auntie because Robbie was all alone.I trailed off, fidgeting my fingers around my dress. “I don’t know about that….”“Even if you hate her Uncle,” Wind spoke softly, looking at me w

What that hell was that?Wasn’t he the Alpha? How could he harm his own pack?My eyes widened as uncontrollable pain throbbed through my body, leaving me frozen. ‘Stop him, Evelise…’My wolf's voice begged inside my mind.‘Stop him…’For the next minute, I could do nothing but stare at his back.I was trying desperately to comprehend what I was seeing.Why would an Alpha cause such a… massacre… inside his own pack?“What have you done…?” The weak words barely left my lips, let alone reached him. My gaze dropped to the devastation surrounding us. In a brief time, houses were crushed. Blood painted the soil. Dozens of bodies lay lifeless.And Zarius stood in the middle of it all.He simply stared at the destruction he had caused.Breathless, hands still twitching as if it wasn’t… enough.Fear made me instinctively step backward.But the mate-bond pulled me forward.‘Stop standing and go…!’It screamed at me. To go, to hold my hand out, to bring him back.Even if I didn’t want to.

I hated how rapidly I sprinted towards the basement just to see Zarius. I didn’t know what that would do.Would I be happy to see him alive? Or happy that he was chained to the wall? I didn’t know. I just wanted to see him.Or perhaps it wasn't me at all. Maybe it was the mate-bond pulling me toward him. “Zari—” The moment I reached the last step, my eyes fell on the man behind the bars. The cell was reinforced with silver, with candles flickering along the walls.His wrist chained to the wall.And Zarius? He sat at a long wooden table, completely composed, reading through a stack of reports as though the previous night had never happened.Two guards stood outside the chamber.Mateo was beside him, holding several documents.And Zarius…He looked normal.“Luna? You? Here?” Mateo looked up when he saw me.“Are you alright now?” He asked worriedly.“You were unconscious for six hours.”He was scanning me but I was too stunned to react. My eyes were on the Alpha that was chain yet
