The next day, the palace was wrapped in a heavy, suffocating silence. Black banners hung from every window and balcony. Servants moved quietly through the halls, their faces pale and eyes red from crying. Everyone was preparing for Alpha Lysander's funeral. Flowers were being arranged, the grand hall was being draped in black cloth, and the royal tailors worked day and night to sew mourning clothes for the family.

Kai stood on the balcony overlooking the courtyard, his hands gripping the stone

  • THE ALPHA'S CURSED BRIDE    Return Of Doomed

    That night, the palace was quieter than it had been in days, yet sleep refused to come to Kai. The events at the Moon Temple replayed endlessly in his mind, each memory striking his heart harder than the one before. He sat silently in the chair beside Selene's bed, his eyes never leaving her peaceful face as the soft glow of the moon spilled through the open window and settled across the room.She had fallen asleep not long after returning from the temple. The emotional burden of the day, coupled with the awakening of her divine power, had exhausted her completely.Kai simply watched her.For the first time, he wasn't looking at her as the quiet maid who had unexpectedly become his mate.He was looking at the woman the Moon Goddess herself had chosen to bless their kingdom.The woman everyone had misunderstood.The woman he had misunderstood the most.A bitter smile crossed his lips as he lowered his head."I really was a fool," he murmured to himself.He remembered every cold word he

  • THE ALPHA'S CURSED BRIDE    Too Late

    The rogue leader remained on his knees, his entire body trembling beneath Selene's unwavering gaze. The arrogance that had filled his face only moments earlier had completely disappeared, replaced by fear so obvious that even the people standing at the back of the courtyard could see it.For several long seconds, he kept his head lowered as though struggling with himself, but the moment his eyes met Selene's glowing silver ones again, he seemed to lose the strength to keep lying.He let out a shaky breath."I lied," he admitted, his voice hoarse enough that the words barely carried across the courtyard.A wave of shocked whispers swept through the crowd.Kai's eyes narrowed as he took a step forward."If you value what remains of your life," he said coldly, "you will tell us everything."The rogue nodded weakly before swallowing hard."It wasn't Lady Selene who helped me escape from the dungeon," he confessed. "It was Lady Elara."The entire courtyard fell silent."It was Lady Elara w

    The temple remained wrapped in stunned silence as everyone continued staring at the magnificent silver wolf standing before Luna Astra. No one dared to move or even breathe too loudly, their hearts still struggling to accept what they had just witnessed. Only moments ago, they had believed Selene to be a cursed woman who had brought endless tragedy upon the pack, yet the impossible miracle they had just seen had shattered everything they thought they knew.The High Priestess was the first to recover from her shock.She slowly rose to her feet before turning toward the crowd, her usually gentle face now filled with anger and disappointment."What are you all waiting for?" she demanded, her voice echoing through the temple. "Every single one of you should be on your knees, begging for forgiveness after the way you treated her. How could you lay your hands upon the chosen servant of the Moon Goddess? How could you drag her through the streets like a criminal and even dare to pass judgmen

    The healer's quarters were unusually quiet, standing in sharp contrast to the chaos that had consumed the palace. While warriors rushed through the corridors and frightened servants whispered anxious prayers, Zack remained by the bedside of the young maid, completely unaware of the storm unfolding beyond the closed doors.His entire world had narrowed to the woman lying before him.She looked so fragile resting against the white sheets, her face pale from the blood she had lost. The deep wound across her chest had already been cleaned and wrapped in fresh bandages, but the healer's expression remained troubled."The injury is severe," the elderly healer admitted with a heavy sigh. "I've stopped the bleeding for now, but she has lost too much blood. Whether she survives the night depends on the Moon Goddess."Zack looked at the unconscious woman before turning back to the healer."There has to be something else we can do."The healer slowly shook his head."I've done everything within

  • THE ALPHA'S CURSED BRIDE    The Traitor

    Kai's patience snapped.Before anyone could react, he strode across the courtyard, grabbed the rogue leader by the front of his torn shirt, and slammed him hard against the nearest stone pillar. The chains around the rogue rattled loudly as Kai's grip tightened, his golden eyes blazing with fury."How dare you utter such filthy lies about my Luna?" he growled through clenched teeth. "If you value your life, you had better take those words back."The rogue leader didn't look frightened. Instead, a slow smile spread across his lips, as though he had been waiting for exactly this reaction."Lies?" he asked with a mocking chuckle. "It's amusing that you still believe your precious mate is as innocent as she pretends to be." Kai tightened his grip even more until the fabric threatened to tear beneath his fingers."You have one last chance," he said coldly. "Tell me the truth.""I am telling you the truth," the rogue replied calmly. "Selene came to me herself. She made a deal with me, promi

    Midnight had settled over the palace, wrapping the kingdom in an uneasy silence. The torches along the palace walls flickered softly in the cool night breeze as the guards carried out their usual patrol, their weapons resting at their sides. Ever since the last attack, security had been tightened, but after several peaceful days, many of the guards had begun to believe the danger had finally passed.They were wrong.Without warning, loud howls shattered the silence.Hundreds of rogues burst out of the darkness like a raging storm, their glowing eyes filled with bloodlust as they charged toward the palace. At their front ran Alpha Rafael, his massive wolf leading the attack with murderous determination. He had returned to finish what he started, and this time, he had brought enough warriors to drown the palace in blood."Enemy attack!" one of the guards shouted at the top of his lungs.The warning came too late.The rogues crashed into the palace gates with overwhelming force, sending

    The next day dawned bright and clear, but Selene felt nothing but exhaustion. Her eyes were still puffy from crying through the night. The mate bond throbbed painfully in her chest like a fresh wound that refused to close. Yet she dragged herself out of bed and reported for duty like always. She ha

  • THE ALPHA'S CURSED BRIDE    Misunderstood

    Just as Selene was returning from serving the Alpha and Luna, carrying an empty tray, Kai appeared suddenly from a side path. He grabbed her arm roughly and dragged her into a secluded corner behind a tall hedge, away from prying eyes.Selene gasped in shock, nearly dropping the tray. “P-Prince Kai

    Selene remained on the cold stone floor, frozen in place. Her chest felt like it had been ripped open. The spark she had felt, that beautiful, fated connection now burned like acid in her veins. She had dreamed of this moment in secret for years. In her foolish heart, she had imagined that if the Mo

  • THE ALPHA'S CURSED BRIDE    Her Mate

    The full moon hung heavy in the sky, its silver light slicing through the night like a cold blade. Selene wiped the tears from her cheeks with the back of her hand and rose unsteadily to her feet. The wind tugged at her wine-soaked uniform, plastering the damp fabric against her skin and sending shi
