All Chapters of BOUND TO THE CURSED ALPHA: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

I stayed beside my parents, waiting for them to wake up in order to hear their perspective about what exactly happened.Or who lit the fire first.My mother stirred first, a quiet groan escaping her lips as her eyes slowly opened. “Mama…?” Beside her, my father blinked against the soft light of the room as they slowly regained their consciousness.“Papa…?” Relief immediately filled as I held their weak hands in mine.Suddenly realizing how much I had missed that warmth.How empty I was when my parents weren’t around to fix my mistakes and do things for me. I had carried responsibilities all alone with no one.And it was nothing but overwhelming.“Evelise…” my mother called weakly, reaching out with a trembling hand towards me.“Mama, oh Mama… I missed you so much!” I wrapped my arms around both of them, burying my face into my mother's shoulder as a broken sound escaped from my lips. “I am so sorry,” I cried, clinging to them tightly. “I'm so, so sorry. Zarius just turned you aw

~ ZARIUS'S POV:I was watching Evelise from afar until Mateo stepped beside me to ruin my mood. “You’re becoming soft.” “Am I?” Blinking, I was dragged to reality—disappointing though. “In fact, why shouldn’t I be for my fate?” Yet I replied nonchalantly, locking my hands behind me. “If it was someone else, you would have—”“That is the whole point, Mateo. She is ‘not’ someone else.” My cold eyes locked on him, silencing him immediately.“She is my mate, my Luna. The future of this pack.” I enunciated strictly, shifting my eyes back to Evelise who was laughing with her parents.Silence came between us for a few moments until I broke it.“I know you dislike her for failing her duties constantly but she is learning.” I relaxed my shoulders and let out a sigh, trying to make him listen.“Give her some time to adjust, Mateo.”“Time? Time for what? To let Red Night annihilate our pack?” He hissed.“Can you not see?”“I can. But—”“They are constantly attacking us. They don’t even give

“Ro–Robbie?” My voice hitched, panic instantly replacing the rising warmth. I tilted my head slightly to get a closer glimpse of his face but it was too dark to see. I could barely make what was before me.Though he looked muscular in these two months. And there was something about him that made him…. menacing.“What are you doing here? Are you out of your mind? What– What if someone saw you?”Ignoring my panicked call, he leaned closer.“You called his name when I kissed you,” Robbie said, his tone filled with bitterness.“Because he is my mate.” I took a step back, maintaining a fair distance as my gaze hardened. “And you’re not.”“So you’re actually accepting this?” he hissed, stepping closer. “Are you really going to tell me you care for him?”“Isn’t a moment enough to love your mate?” He flinched at first before the intensity of my words before showing nothing but pure rage.“Don’t lie to me. We all know what a soulless creature he is.” Robbie hissed in a harsh tone, his hand

~ EVELISE'S POV:“What… What should I do now?” I had been pacing the floorboards for hours as I rehearsed a thousand different explanations. ‘Tell him the truth, Evelise. Tell him.’My wolf paced with equal desperation.“He has to trust us. He is our mate, he knows our heart… he knows…” Whispering, I forced a smile. Maybe I should go.Talk to him, explain, justify, or at least apologize. I should do something—anything—in order to reduce his ache. I thought about going back but seeing the curse again, the fright, it all pulled me back.That was the moment I realized how weak out mate-bond was.I couldn’t even console my own mate.Pathetic….Before I could reach a decision, the doors of our room slammed open to which I flinched.“Za–Zarius?” When Zarius stepped into the threshold, the sheer aura radiating off him crushed me.He didn't look angry, not in a literal sense. Instead, he looked hollow. Heartbroken in a way that made my own chest ache. “You…” His dark hair was dishevel

~ EVELISE'S POV:In this cold place, everything felt horrible. But, even this coldness was less compared to what I received from Zarius.‘He thinks we betrayed him!’ my wolf howled, pacing desperately inside my mind. ‘We need to go to him. We must.’“Shut up! Just shut up!” I squeezed my eyes shut, clutching my ribs as a harsh cough tore through my throat. The mate-bond was throbbing. It had converted into a physical ache that made it hard for me to even breathe.The sting.It was like none other. I didn’t know it was something that should happen between mates.But his sting had taken its toll on me.“You think I don’t know that?” I hissed, shifting to my knees, hating the empty, dark, corridors of this place.“You think I want to sit here like a prisoner?”‘Then do something! The mate-pull is weakening us. If he severs the bond entirely, we’ll die.’“I can’t just break solid iron, you idiot!” Tears glimmering in the corner as I gripped myself tighter, resting my back against t
