Lahat ng Kabanata ng Cursed by the Alphas: Kabanata 91 - Kabanata 100

Ophelia povBreakfast tastes like nothing, but I still remain sitting at the table because I know, if I go back upstairs too fast, Alister will find me and Cylus will assume I’m retreating back to safety with only one mate again. I don’t want to make any of them feel like I’m picking favorites, which is insanely difficult to avoid, given that one of my mates is the man I’ve known my entire life - that does make it easier for me to be close to him. I poke at the stupid eggs for what seems to be ages until I finally give up and abandon the food. The house is quiet, so I let myself believe that nobody will be roaming the halls and head upstairs. All I need is a minute that’s mine and mine only. Once I reach upstairs, I let out a sigh of relief and move toward my room. For one second the hall is completely empty, until it isn’t.Cylus appears out of nowhere - no sound of him approaching or a warning. One second there’s nothing but air and the next, he’s right there, so close that I st

Ophelia povA few days pass after the run-in I had with Cylus in the hallway. It’s weird in a way I can’t describe and understand myself because with every minute that passes feels like it’s shrinking the house around me. Alister is everywhere at this point. Sure, he’s acting more controlled and for once, he knocks on my door whenever he wants to get in my bedroom, but that’s about all the great change he’s made. No matter what, he still finds reasons to be in the same room with me, especially whenever Cylus is nearby. Cylus has gotten worse too, but in a much calmer and quieter way than Alister. Worst he does is whenever he sees me, his eyes are always on my mouth and he glares at my lips like I owe him another kiss, which obviously Alister noticed too. The bottom line is that both of them are acting clingy and with every day passing, I keep waiting for this mess to feel normal, but it doesn’t. Mom and grandma live like this, they don’t seem to have the same issues as I do, darn i

Ophelia povWhen I hang up the call, I remain sitting on the edge of my bed until my hands stop shaking. Tate said they’re coming, that should bring relief, but instead, I feel like I just added more fuel to the flame. Next comes the hardest part - breaking the news to the two men who live under the same roof as me. I go to look for Alister first because I know he should be returning from a patrol around this time. As I step outside the house, I notice him coming, tired and annoyed but the second he sees me, his entire demeanour changes. “What happened?” Alister asks, skipping the pleasantries. “I need to talk to you,” I say just as Cylus appears out of nowhere again, startling me to half death. “You are distressed,” Cylus announces loudly and rubs his chest, “I felt it.” Alister’s head snaps toward him. “You felt it?”A sly smile creeps on Cylus’ lips, “mhm, though the bond.”Just as Alister opens his mouth to argue, I raise both hands and snarl, “no! Not here and not right now

Ophelia povI’m standing in front of the house, my arms crossed in front of my chest and I’m pretty sure that my patience has been put on life support at this point. Alister stands at my left and Cylus at my right, refusing to stand like normal people and looking like federal agents. The only positive is that neither of them is talking. When the car finally stops in front of the house, I’m genuinely surprised that only Tate steps out of it. From the call, I figured both of them are coming, so why the hell is he alone? My eyes do a quick sweep over him and a frown pulls at my face. He’s dirty, like properly covered in dirt and the look on his face makes him appear like he survived something he refuses to talk about. Just as I’m about to ask where Hayes is and if he’s planning to arrive at all, the man in question walks up the driveway. Okay, so they arrive separately, that’s fine, maybe there was a falling out between them somewhere along the way. I’d hope that’s the case. Actuall

Ophelia pov The heat hits me without a warning, not just that ‘odd’ feeling in my gut that mom and grandma described might be the first sigh. No, it starts from nowhere and grows more intense with every breath I take. First, my skin suddenly feels too hot, then hot and finally, like not my own. I feel sweat break out and roll down my back while my hands start shaking so hard the fork clinks against the plate. Alister’s head snaps toward me and my name leaves him as a growl, pulling everyone’s attention to me. I grip the fork harder until my knuckles lock and I feel color drain from my face the same moment as I breathe out quietly, “it’s too soon.”I swallow around the lump in my throat and try to say I’m fine, but the room around me suddenly starts swimming and I feel myself sway. Even though the weird haze, I see Hayes move before everyone else can catch up with what’s happening. He doesn’t bother going around the table and instead, Hayes leaps over it, right to me. Plates fall
