All Chapters of BOUND TO THE CURSED ALPHA: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Every time I closed my eyes, I saw the same thing.Blood. Broken houses. Black eyes.Him trying to kill me, followed by the painful advice.“Learn to live here like the rest of us.”That was it? Learn? Learn how to ignore how the curse killed twenty three people and then pretend NOTHING happened?I CAN’T.“Why….?” My eyes slowly opened, The same grand chandelier, curtains, majestic room.Everything was beautiful yet it was suffocating.“Why me, Moon Goddess…?” I sat up slowly, pulling my knees toward my chest. The people, the atmosphere, everything here was unsettling me. How could they live like this?How could anyone?What was wrong with these people?Okay, I agree the Alpha was cursed, soulless, probably came from darkness but the pack?They were real people. Real lives. How could they…. Act like nothing happened?“Do you know what this place was called?”I had spent the entire day watching them and tried asking questions to see their reaction for myself.Maybe they were actin

~ ZARIUS'S POV:If there is anything I hated from the bottom of my heart it was the Moon.The moon stayed arrogant in the sky, casting a silver sheen over the balcony of Grey Manor.​I hated it.​I hated the glow, I hated the light, and most of all, I hated the useless Goddess it represented.“You're going to bore yourself to death staring at it, you know.”​A shadow detached itself from the treeline while I was sitting on a rock.Razen Bloodthorn.The man I wanted to leave at many points of my life.But he refused to leave my shadow and was proven to be the only man who stayed… even when I gave up on myself. The silver-eyed man was leaning against the tree, eating an apple.“Finally bothered to come, Razen?” I mocked to which he let out a bark of laughter.​”I was busy ensuring your pack doesn't collapse while you brood,” Razen replied, leaning against the tree beside me. “They say you lost control.” “Yes, I did.”He questioned, skeptical. “And you ordered everyone to pretend noth

~ EVELISE'S POV:Zarius carried me through the dark corridors of Grey Manor without another word.“Zarius.” “What?” “Where are you taking me?” “To my chambers.”I didn't resist.Perhaps because my ankle was throbbing too badly to argue.Or perhaps because, after everything that had happened tonight, I simply didn't have the strength left to fight him.I rested my head against his shoulder, watching the corridor pass by.He tried to kill me. But, tonight… He had saved me.That fact was impossible to ignore.The door to his chambers opened, my grip instinctively tightened on him with an eerie anticipation. He noticed and whispered, “Relax.” Zarius stepped inside and walked straight toward the bed. He lowered me carefully onto the mattress.I watched him walk toward a cabinet built into the wall to retrieve a small wooden box.When he returned, he sat at the edge of the bed, carefully, maintaining a fair distance. I stared at him anxiously, biting my nails. He caught my wrist and b

Every chance I got, I stared at Zarius.He knew I was watching him. He always knew. But he acted as if I were nothing more than an apparition haunting his halls.“Do you know what I hate the most, Wind?” I muttered under my breath.My eyes locked on Zarius who was reviewing pack reports.Wind blinked up in surprise. “What?”I didn't break eye contact with him. “Him.”Zarius’s hand paused over the papers for a second. His ears twitched slightly—he had heard every word.Yet, without turning around or offering a single glance, he flipped the page and continued reading, completely ignoring me.“Don’t say this,” Wind tried to speak expectantly.“Why not?” I frowned, “What has he ever done to make me feel otherwise?” She fell silent, we were aware I was absolutely right.“I have told you already.” Another familiar voice joined us. We both turned slightly and saw Mateo leaning against the frame with a smirk.“Learn how to live with it. Like all of us.” He began to come close as those wor

Every mesmerizing sensation twisted into pure horror. “Wait…” I whispered under my breath, my hands gripping the cold stone railing so hard my knuckles turned white. “No…no, no, no, no, no….”I repeated those words like a frantic prayer. I didn’t stop, not until my voice broke, leaving me shivering violently. I shook my head in denial, my steps stumbling backward as I retreated into the shadows of the crowd. ‘That's our… mate?’ my wolf whimpered, her earlier delight shattering into terror.“No…. No, no, no… That can't be,” I whispered under my breath, tears stinging the corners of my eyes.How could the Moon Goddess do this to me? Why put me through such a cruel trial? I had a life. I had Robbie. And now, my soul was tied to a monster. There was no way I would accept this as my fate.I would reject him.Yes, I definitely will.I turned, desperate to disappear before his icy gaze could track me down and sense the mate-bond. But, as I pushed past two she-wolf, their hushed voic
