Lahat ng Kabanata ng MARKED BY THE ALPHA'S CURSE: Kabanata 111 - Kabanata 120

Ronan's POVI made my way out of the inner court, heading straight to the pack’s lab to meet with Jeff and Dr. Javier. Honestly, my heart was pounding fast. I didn’t know what I was going to discover, but I had a feeling it was going to be big.Someone had actually poisoned our future Luna.It was unfortunate…disgusting, even. From the moment the poison was first detected, my mind had immediately gone to Lovena. At the time, Valerie wasn’t even around, so she hadn’t crossed my mind. But Lovena? She suddenly started acting nice, smiling sweetly and being overly helpful. It was too sudden. And then that maid died, just like that. Her death had been insane, like something out of a horror film. If Valerie had been there, I would’ve suspected her. She’s a witch. Witches can use spells. But Lovena? Lovena was a werewolf. She didn’t have magic. That’s what threw me off. The only known witch anywhere near the pack house had been Valerie—so how the hell did a maid just drop dead out of now

Selene's POVI walked away angrily from Valerie, my fists clenched at my sides. My day was already a disaster, and now Valerie just had to show up and make it worse. She always had to show up at the wrong time and spew her nonsense. Always talking like she had a say in anything concerning Killian and me.Now that Killian and I had finally decided to take things to the next level, was I going to have to deal with this every day? Was some other woman going to pop up and insult me every single time I was with him? I hated how angry I was with Killian too. Somehow, he gave Valerie the leverage she needed to make me feel this way. Ugh.My face was definitely grumpy, and I didn’t care. I walked fast, muttering to myself in my head, until suddenly…“Aaaahhh!”A loud shriek tore through the air and before I could even register it, someone grabbed me and lifted me off the ground into a hug.“Selene! I missed you so much!” Carmen.I looked down, surprised, and saw her grinning up at me before

Killian's POV Lovena looked at him. “You are the one who is sick in the head.” Then I glanced at the maid, who hung her head low. “And you, traitor.” The maid put her head down. “I’m sorry, my lord. I didn’t mean to. She offered me money, and my mom was really sick, and so that’s why I—” “Shut up,” I cut her off. “Did you come to me? Did you come to my Beta or speak to any officers about it? Did you tell us you were in need, and we didn’t do anything? You just took a black offer. Now you won’t receive pity. You are going to be punished so badly you’ll regret ever being alive.” Then I heard footsteps. People were already starting to come in. A guard whispered to me, “My lord, the hall is almost filled up. People are there.” Lovena's tears spilled freely now, streaking her cheeks. “I loved you,” she whimpered. I looked at her. “You don’t know the meaning of love. What you have is rot. A disease in your mind.” I turned from them, my jaw clenched, and walked to the main ent

Killian's POVCarmen being a witch came as a shock to me.Everything happened too fast to think. One moment, the witch—Ella, apparently, was on the verge of casting a spell. The next, Selene’s maid friend, Carmen, stepped forward and unleashed her power.It had saved our lives. There was no denying that.And the way Selene stood before the crowd was the kind of presence a Luna was meant to have. She silenced hundreds with a single command. She defended Carmen without hesitation. That was the Luna our pack needed.The Luna I needed.But now?Now she was giving me an attitude I couldn’t explain.“I didn’t say you could go,” I repeated, looking her straight in the eyes.She looked right back at me, then tilted her chin in quiet defiance.Why the sudden change? Just this morning, we had agreed to take our relationship further. She had been warm and open.So what had shifted? What happened between then and now?“Killian, I said you should let go of me,” she said sternly.I tightened my gr

Selene's POVBeing in Killian’s arms like that was soothing in a way that made my eyelids heavy and my body relaxed. Before I knew it, I was drifting toward sleep.“You’re falling asleep,” his voice came softly, close to my ear. “We’re already here.”I opened my eyes slowly, blinking away the haze. There were voices everywhere—buyers arguing with sellers, laughter echoing between stalls, the occasional shout to advertise some irresistible deal. The air was filled with scents: spiced meat sizzling over open flames, freshly baked bread, and fruits. Somewhere close, a man held skewers, showcasing them for customers to buy.I turned my head fully toward Killian to see him smiling down at me. He stepped out of the carriage first, then held a hand up for me. I placed mine in his, and he helped me down with a gentleness that made my heart flutter in my chest.Once I was on the ground, he didn’t let go of me, his hand was still holding mine as we began to walk.The guard had followed us dow
