Claimed By The Cursed Alpha King Novels & Stories

The Alpha King’s Runaway Mate . CHAPTER 3: first meeting . Mattel’s POV . "The kingdom bears the burden of a curse from the moon goddess, destined to claim the life of its heir before his thirtieth year unless he finds intimacy with his mate. His destined partner will be the object of his affection but will reciprocate with disdain, a being of low stature whom he longs to touch. She holds the cure to his affliction, yet remains forever out of reach. Only she can offer salvation to Mattel, the cursed one."

Atrocious replied, rubbing an orb on the armrest of his chair. "Reveal? What do you have to reveal?" Draco raised an eyebrow, realizing that it must be serious if Atrocious was acting this way. Atrocious was never one to think or worry so much about anything and when he does, it meant it was something to be taken very seriously. Atrocious sighed heavily, picked up the orb, and muttered a spell. The orb became surrounded by a mist of emerald color, and an obscure figure appeared within it. "It's a curse. Your brother, the Alpha King, is cursed."

It was a secret I had longed to uncover, a truth that held the potential to liberate me from his clutches. Alpha Max continued, his voice laced with bitterness. "The Silvermoon Pack has suffered greatly under the alpha king's rule. We've witnessed the atrocities committed in the wake of his transformations. Innocent lives torn apart, families shattered. We cannot allow him to continue unchecked." A mixture of empathy and fear surged within me. The alpha king's curse—the cause of his transformations. It was a torment that extended beyond his own existence, wreaking havoc on those around him. Could breaking the curse truly free not only the alpha king but also the Silvermoon Pack from their ow

"So he is the Alpha King. No wonder he always has a serious expression on his face. So, who is your mate?" Emily gave a weak smile. "The Alpha King." Silence fell between them. "WHAT?" Fanny exclaimed. "Shhhh... You should be sleeping, not shouting. Lois will kill me if she finds out I didn't let you rest," Emily hushed her friend. "The Alpha King is your mate?" Fanny repeated in disbelief. "Yes," Emily confirmed. "But how? I don't understand. How on earth... He is cursed. How can he be your mate?" Fanny questioned, struggling to comprehend the situation.

I said, suddenly defensive for him. "What? You think he's different just because he's being nice to you?" she asked, her voice scornful. "You think he's changed? He hasn't, Arianna. A man who killed his own father is nothing short of a monster! He's just playing you. He has a way of getting into his victims' heads, so that when they die, he goes about living his life without an iota of guilt. He's just using you, Arianna. Using you to break a stupid curse he inflicted on himself, but you can’t even see it!” “Claire!” I snapped, jolting up to my feet. “You won’t stand there and talk to your Alpha that way!” I said coldly.

I asked my head still on his chest as I wondered if his heart will give up more than what his mouth was will to. What could've stopped a proud alpha like him from doing what he wanted to do? “I'm cursed.” He blurted out. For the beat of one to three, I didn't react until his two-word reply sank in. “Sorry, what?” I asked my head snapping up. This has to be some sick joke because how could he cursed? “Yes, I am.” “But… but… how can you be cursed?” I stammered. “You're the Alpha.” “Yes I am. But there's no where it is written that an Alpha can't get cursed.”

So, my mother did the unthinkable. I gritted my teeth and balled my fist. As much as I am thankful that Lycaruz was inside me because he’s making me powerful and strong, I hate the fact that he controls me in my decisions. “She knew my secret! I am the Alpha King of Denbross, if my people know that I am cursed since birth, me and my family will be subject to mockery! I can not let that happen! A strong and hot energy ran through me, an indication that Lycaruz wanted out, but I didn’t let him. He has no power over me when the moon is hidden.

“Leonard’s been yapping at the council, dropping lies like rotten meat. He thinks he can shackle me with rumors. But I’m here. Still standing, still your Alpha. He’s not breaking me.” The crowd shifted. For a nanosecond, I thought maybe they’d come around. Nope. An omega, barely out of training, jumped forward, all fire. “Is it true?” It felt like he punched me right in the chest. He kept going, teeth bared: “Are you cursed to be mateless?” It gave everyone else the courage to talk… “Did you lie to us, Alpha?” “How can a cursed Alpha lead?” “What about an heir?” My wolf nearly broke loose, roaring to shut them all up, remind them who runs the show. But this? This wasn’t about challenge or do

It was impossible. My jaw tightened. I couldn't let myself think recklessly. Stepping forward, I barked, “Who are you? What do you want from me?” The rogue lifted a single clawed finger to his lips and shushed me mockingly. "I'll do the talking," he said, his voice a taunting drawl that scraped against my nerves. “You... Kael, Alpha apparent, must step down. Leave the throne, forsake your claim, and all of this will end."

“If you didn’t want what we shared, why didn’t you just say so—” “You condemned me to this life,” I cried. “You ordered that I be sent here. I didn’t run away!” “What?” King Benjamin gasped, his mouth falling open. “I swear on everything I have—I never gave that order.” “It’s easy for you to deny it—” “I am your king, I rule everyone here” he interrupted firmly. “The Alpha of the Moon Pack. I fear no one, and I have no reason to lie.” I swallowed hard. “What happened that morning shouldn’t have happened, my king. I’m only a slave. I understand if you never wanted to see me again.” I bowed my head, then turned and walked away, leaving him standing there in silence.
