Breaking the Alpha's Curse

Introduction
A round of applause erupted as everyone began to cheer Alpha Theo.
"I'm not done yet," he moved closer to me and grabbed me.
I dare not raise my head.
Holding my wrist firmly, he announced to the audience. "In the presence of everyone here, I would like to reject Jane Fisher as my mate. Henceforth, she is no longer a member of the Blood Moon."
Like his rejection wasn't enough, he was going to kick me out of the pack.
The words had struck me like blades, piercing through my skin. Every eye was on me.
I wanted the ground to open up and swallow me if that's the only way I could escape the humiliation.
But then…
Another voice cut through the murmuring crowd.
"I'll take her."
I stilled. The crowd stilled.
I lifted my head, just slightly. My heart pounded with confusion.
From the far edge of the gathering, a tall figure stepped forward. His presence alone made people part ways as he approached the stage.
My breath caught in my chest as I saw him. It was him. Alpha Liam.
Liam Kael was cursed with a pain no healer could ease. Jane was stripped of her wolf and her memories. Neither knew they were bound by blood, bond, and betrayal.
When Alpha Liam touches Jane, the torment in his chest, a curse he had endured his entire life, vanishes for the first time. But Jane is no healer. She is the rejected mate of another Alpha, a wolfless girl humiliated before the entire pack.
What begins as a strange connection soon turns into something deeper, darker, and destined. Secrets unravel, truths come to light, but neither of them is ready for what fate has in store.
Chapter 1
Liam's POV
The last place I wanted to be was the Blood Moon Pack's masquerade of a party, but duty always outweighs desire. As Alpha of the Rickshaw Pack and the leading candidate for Werewolf Confederation President, I had no choice but to show up. Appearances matter, especially when half the packs in the North are watching to see whether I stumble or rise.
"Alpha Liam," people greeted with fake smiles.
I sat in the farthest corner just to remain unseen but the sun can't be hidden. I hated the laughter and music. I hated crowds. I hated the masks people wore both figuratively and literally.
And I hated the Blood Moon Pack. I've heard a lot about their Alpha but I haven't experienced bullshit from him. He knew not to cross me.
Suddenly, it came again. The pain I've been carrying for eighteen years. This time, it came like a dagger piercing through the heart. As I grew older, the pain became unbearable for me.
I clenched my fists, my vision started to blur as the fire tore through my chest. I had to leave the crowd now. No one has the right to see me in pain. I wouldn't give them the satisfaction of seeing me fall, not here in the presence of the Blood Moon Pack.
I stood up slowly, ignoring the curious glances from a few pack members. I moved through the crowd with what little dignity I could muster, my jaw clenched tightly as every heartbeat felt like it would be my last.
I needed somewhere private but each door along the corridor refused me. They were locked. Each door I turned to was locked, one after another.
"What the fuck? Who locks guest rooms during an official gathering?"
My knees buckled slightly, and I gritted my teeth, forcing myself toward the staircase. My vision darkened and I knew I wouldn't make it to the top.
And just when the darkness at the edge of my mind threatened to consume me, a hand touched mine.
The contact was warm and cool at the same time and the effect of the contact came instantly.
The pain in my chest dulled as if someone had poured cool water on a raging fire. I could breathe again. Not fully, but just enough to gain control.
I looked up to see who the pain relief was. And there she was in front of me, dressed in a neat black-and-white maid uniform, her black hair slicked back, not a strand out of place. And her eyes were the color of the ocean during a full moon. Deep, mysterious, and endless.
"You're not well," she said softly, her hand still in mine.
"I know, bunny," I breathed, calling her that without thinking. The word slipped from my lips with such an ease that surprised me.
"You have to get some rest. I can help you to your room."
I stared at her for a moment. Was she real? Or a hallucination?
"Fine," I rasped. "Help me."
I handed her the key card from my pocket with trembling fingers. She took it without question, looping her arm around mine like it was something she'd done a thousand times.
The hallway blurred as she led me forward. Every step away from the crowd and toward the room lessened the weight on my chest. When we finally reached the door, she opened it and helped me inside with a surprising strength for someone so petite.
She eased me onto the bed like I was fragile glass.
"I'll get going then," she said, her voice tentative. She turned, but before she could take a step forward I reached out and grabbed her wrist.
She looked back, confused. "Do you need anything else?"
God, even her voice soothed the storm raging in my bones.
"I need you to stay," I said.
Her brows furrowed. "What?"
"Stay," I repeated.
"I can't. I'm… I have other guests to attend to."
"I'm a guest too," I said, pulling her slightly toward me. "A special one."
"I know, but…"
I narrowed my eyes. "Are you disobeying me?"
Her lips parted, and I could hear the slight tremble in her breath. "No, I won't dare to disobey you, Alpha Liam."
"Then shut your mouth," I said, not unkindly, but with the force of command I was born with, "and stay."
Her eyes widened, but she didn't protest further. I pulled her closer until she was beside me on the bed. Her scent hit me. It was lavender and something wild beneath it. Something that tugged at my wolf.
She lay still, rigid at first but I pulled I closer to me. And the moment her body touched mine, it was like someone had ripped the curse out of me.
I exhaled deeply for the first time in what felt like decades. The pain in my chest didn't just dull. It vanished. My heart still beat and my lungs still expanded. And it was because of her.
Who was she? And what powers does she have to take my pains away?
I glanced at her, her white and black uniform reminded me that she was only a maid. A nobody, by pack standards. But to me, she was peace incarnate.
I turned slightly, wanting to see her better. She was staring at the ceiling, trying hard to pretend none of this was happening.
"What's your name?" I asked.
She hesitated. "Jane. My name is Jane."
Jane? Even her name was common.
"Who are you, Jane? I asked.
Her head turned toward me. "I'm a maid," she said.
"Obviously," I retorted. "Who owns you?" I asked.
"I'm a person of my own. Although I work for Alpha Theo, the Alpha of the Blood Moon."
Something stir within me as she mentioned the blood moon. How did a wonderful treasure like her end up in the blood moon?
"I want to buy you from your Alpha. I want you to be mine," I said.
"You're crazy," she said too quickly.
"Excuse me!" I spat, narrowing my eyes.
"I'm sorry, Alpha, I shouldn't have said that but…" she paused, swallowing hard. "You don't even know me and I don't know you either."
"I don't have to know you before I decide what to do with you. I like something, I get the thing."
"I'm not a thing. I'm a being who has a mind of her own," she said.
"Maybe. But you know our world doesn't work like that. You are a nobody and I can buy you if your owner is willing to sell you."
She was silent, but I could feel the war inside her. I brushed her cheek with my thumb.
"Don't over think it. I just have a job offer for you."
"I have a job already," she said, her innocent voice added to my urge to want to keep her.
"And I want to give you another one. A better one."
"But for now, you have to stay with me until I fall asleep."

Filled, Owned, and Fucked by My Best Friend’s Father
He was supposed to be off-limits. Untouchable. The kind of man you only fantasize about when you’re alone in the dark with your hand between your thighs.
But the night I caught him eating another woman alive by the pool, I couldn’t look away.
And he knew it.
The moment his dark eyes locked on mine through the glass, I became prey. His filthy smirk promised one thing—he saw me touching myself to him, and he wasn’t about to let me forget it.
Now, every time I’m in his house, I can’t breathe without thinking of his mouth between my legs.
I left my cheating boyfriend behind, only to fall into something even more dangerous:
a man who could ruin me, break me, and make me beg for his cock while his own daughter sleeps in the next room.
He’s too old. Too powerful. Too forbidden.
But Gianni doesn’t ask—he takes.
And I don’t want him to stop.
Ex-Wife, Current Wife
For three years, she lived in the shadow of a loveless marriage. She was the woman everyone loved to hate, the one who supposedly "stole" him from his first love. She endured his cold indifference, raised their son—who struggles with a speech impediment—in silence, and traded her own brilliant career for the thankless role of a trophy wife.
But when his long-lost love returns, she is unceremoniously pushed aside to make room for the "real" family.
Enough was enough.
After he publicly humiliates her and chooses the mistress’s daughter over his own son during a birthday party, something inside her finally snaps. She doesn't just want out of the marriage; she wants her life back. With a secret talent for design and a newfound resolve, she walks away from the gilded cage of his estate.
But as she rises from the ashes of her failed marriage to reclaim her status as a top-tier designer, he realizes the woman he treated as a disposable pawn was the only one who truly held his world together.
Now, the woman who once begged for his attention is no longer looking back. Will he be able to earn her forgiveness, or is he finally too late?
GO ON YOUR KNEES, ALPHA.
He was wrong.
Six years ago, Pete Leadsilver had everything an Alpha could want. Power, a respected pack and a future already written for him.
Then he met me.
What began as a game became a mistake I would spend years trying to survive. When I told him I was carrying his child, Pete chose not to believe me. He rejected me, humiliated me, and allowed the people around him to make sure I understood that there was no place for me in his world.
So I disappeared.
I took the secret of my pregnancy with me and built a life far away from the Alpha who had broken me.
Six years later, Pete finds me again. Only this time, he isn't the man with all the power. His pack is dying, his people are running out of time, and I may be the only person capable of saving them.
But I'm no longer the woman Pete remembers. And beside me is a little boy who carries far too much of Pete's face to be a coincidence.
Our reunion should have been about a cure, but instead, it becomes the beginning of a war neither of us saw coming.
Because Pete's greatest danger isn't outside his pack.
It's inside his own family.
Old resentment turns into manipulation. Loyalty becomes betrayal. And the people Pete trusts begin hiding secrets that threaten to destroy everything he's built.
Then someone comes for the people I love.
Suddenly, this is no longer about whether Pete can earn my forgiveness.
It's about whether he can keep me alive.
Whether he can protect the son he never knew existed.
Whether he can uncover the truth before the people closest to him destroy everything he has finally learned to value.
Along the way, we'll lose people we thought would always stand beside us, I'll be forced to confront wounds I've spent six years trying to bury, and the family we're slowly building will be tested in ways neither of us could have imagined.
Because sometimes love isn't the hardest thing to find. Sometimes it's the hardest thing to survive.
Pete once believed power meant never needing anyone and I once believed surviving him meant leaving him behind.
We were both wrong.
Because some bonds refuse to die, some betrayals cut deeper than rejection and some people don't come back into your life to give you a second chance.
They come back to show you exactly what you almost lost.
Pete Leadsilver lost me once.
This time, he'll have to fight to keep the family he never knew he needed.
Accardi
“I thought you said you were done chasing me?” Gen mocked.
“I am done chasing you.”
Before she could formulate a witty remark, Matteo threw her down. She landed hard on her back atop his dining room table. She tried to sit up when she noticed what he was doing. His hands were working on his belt. It came free of his pants with a violent yank. She collapsed back on her elbows, her mouth gaping open at the display. His face was a mask of sheer determination, his eyes were a dark gold swimming with heat and desire. His hands wrapped around her thighs and pulled her to the edge of the table. He glided his fingers up her thighs and hooked several around the inside of her panties. His knuckles brushed her dripping sex.
“You’re soaking wet, Genevieve. Tell me, was it me that made you this way or him?” his voice told her to be careful with her answer. His knuckles slid down through her folds and she threw her head back as she moaned. “Weakness?”
“You…” she breathed.
Genevieve loses a bet she can’t afford to pay. In a compromise, she agrees to convince any man her opponent chooses to go home with her that night. What she doesn’t realize when her sister’s friend points out the brooding man sitting alone at the bar, is that man won’t be okay with just one night with her. No, Matteo Accardi, Don of one of the largest gangs in New York City doesn’t do one night stands. Not with her anyway.
