Novel & Cerita Achilles Curse

Not in pain—more like the emotional equivalent of someone stepping on a Lego. “...Charming... truly...” he muttered, flexing his fingers like they’d been contaminated.

"Waverly, I'm terrified of what's next." Waverly leaned over and instinctively placed a hand on Felicity's knee. "I'm trying everything I can," Waverly stated. "But I can't do anything being locked in here day after day and it seems like everyone is intent on shutting me out." Felicity took another breath and nodded. "That's why I came." Waverly's was intent on the woman beside her while she spoke. "A decade ago, our Alpha was cursed. I don't know too many details, but I remember when it happened, not long after his parents died. At this time, I was only a pack member and not yet staff of the house."

I kick at the dirt, expecting fairy dust or something of similar affect to float up from the ground. See, when your friend tells you about an ancient curse keeping an Alpha entombed alive underground from centuries ago, you expect more magic. Hazel herself has partial witch genetics, which is why I agreed to accompany her on this tiresome hike. The story is compelling. The Alpha beneath our feet is encompassed in a unique spell. He was placed there during a war between two Pack's, considered too dangerous to continue living, but impossible to kill. Well, that's if the story is true, anyway.

But since he was the Grand Beta and I'm just a normal she-wolf, I had no choice but to fulfill his command. “When Grand Beta told me about the Alpha King sickness, I suspected that it wasn't an illness but a curse. “The Atelis curse” it's one of the curses that occurs every full Moon and it also infiltrates pain over the cursed person's body, ” I explained thoroughly to them because I thought that everyone here was people I could say it to. “Okay, so you are saying the childhood sickness that Reagan has been living with since he was born wasn't a sickness, but a curse?” Dolphus asked, still in a state of shock.

I looked down at Felix’s unconscious body, my hands trembling. No one would believe me. I had no proof to clear my name and even if I did, this man was beloved by his pack. It was my word against his, and he would win. I didn’t stand a chance. The injustice of it all made me want to scream. There was one other option, one even a fool would run from. Only someone so desperate for life, so starved of its touch, would even think to take this route. Someone like me. I’d live this last month in peace, and when my birthday finally came around, the curse looming over my head would take hold. The same curse that claimed the lives of my ancestors, of every firstborn female in each generation.

F*ck, I’m losing it in here. I resisted the desire to pull my dress off me, along with everything under, and go over to them, suck each of their needing d*cks till they became sore. ‘Like that’s possible.’ The temperature continued rising and I cursed whoever was behind the controls. ‘I think you should take it easy with curses. Don’t you remember what happened last time?’ The curse. The council said it was my curse that made them sterile. It was scary to think that it could be true.

he said quietly, “but the mark does not care about titles. It reacts to Alpha blood that touches her with desire.” My jaw tightened at that. Marcus was to blame for all this. Marcus under his breath, his remorse triggered once more. “This is absolute madness!” I cursed. “we are not her lovers va and a fucking mark on her wrist cannot decide the Fate of my brother and I and also that of the entire pack” I interjected bitterly. “That's just how it is, alpha Daniel. It's an ancient curse that dates back to the times of your forefathers. Hundreds of years ago”

Every successive heir has fallen prey to this same affliction, and this has given birth to the legend of the McCavendish family curse. The McCavendish clan is a very private family and have not allowed the inherited condition to be studied, so we can only speculate on its origin. Some have suggested it’s a genetic flaw that comes into effect in adulthood, but this doesn’t explain why it only affects the oldest male heir or why the affliction only manifests when they inherit what’s left of the estate.

Steeling myself against his onslaught of hate filled scorn, I held my ground. "I am well aware of who you are, Lucian" My voice shook with barely contained rage as I spat, "Perhaps I am just a flea, but even a flea can be a nuisance. And being a king doesn't make you invincible. The curse that binds you is your Achilles heel compelling you to obey me like a puppet on a string. So, it looks like you will be answering to this flea."

"Marcellus is paying for the sins of his ancestors. The reason he isn't liked by his family is because he did what try never expected he could. He built the moon realm in peace and never backed down from his duty even from a sick bed. The strength he has shown has deemed the Ninefold to recognize him as the best Alpha king that has ever ruled which makes his father seem incompetent. Kael, his father doesn't like that. It is the power that comes with the throne and you of course, that's keeping him alive. He should have been dead by now." '"Me? I am barely a girl that was sent to make his transition less painful. It seemed that his parents were tired of taking care of a sick person. Besides w
