Cursed Alpha's Contracted Mate

Isla's POV:

"You are now mated to the Alpha.... " A blur faced man announced our wedding and the mysterious man kissed me.

Within a few seconds, I was on the bed and his sharp fangs were piercing inside my neck, rupturing my skin...

My pussy throbbed with the pleasure brewing in the pits of my lower abdomen when the hands of an unknown man touched me everywhere leaving wet kisses all over my body. I clamped my thighs tightly when the arousal hit me. Our mouths moved in sync with each other. As I was about to see his face, the dream broke because of the loud sound of lightning.

It was a dream! I shook my head at the thought.

My clit was wet and throbbing for more even though it was just a dream. It was the first time I had experienced such a sexual dream. Maybe because of the fact that I was going to turn 18 within few hours. It was a sign that my body was ready and waiting for mate to devour us. The thought of having someone who loved me put a smile on my face but it was gone within a few seconds when I realized that it was just a dream. Maybe a nightmare of my mate who would have to suffer because of a pathetic wolf like me. Tears formed in my already swollen eyes and I blinked them off rapidly.

The lightning struck again. This time angrier than before and loud enough to echo in the woods. I wouldn't have cared less about it but the window was open and the floor was flooding with rarainwateroped the floor of my old tattered house which was built at the outskirts of the pack. It used to be the security post check up point around twelve years ago when my grandfather was still alive. I could hear the faint sounds of cheering and high pitched voices of excited wolves. The pack was maybe celebrating another win and I obviously was not invited.

The pack members hated me with such a deep and angry passion that if I died at this moment there wouldn't be a better news than it. Me,walking around in the pack, was a sin which could only make me get hundreds of whips from the old luna. I never dared to go inside the pack borders during day. As a matter of fact,I was even scared of finding myself face to face with any other member. Why?

Because I was cursed after all. A cursed girl who took the lives of everyone who ever loved me.

I closed the window and the cold rain drops begun seeping through the cracks hitting me on the face. The house was old and frigid with no source of heat to warm me up. Most days,I would keep sitting tangled in my sheets and would not put a foot out on the floor. But tonight was different,I had used the last saved water and had to get inside the pack to fetch more water.

I gulped down fearing for the worst. The memory of a young girl screaming when she saw me with my pitcher never erased from my mind. She was horrified and had been trembling from fear as if she saw a monster.

While taking out an empty bucket from the bathroom to get some water, mistakenly I caught a glimpse of my face in the broken piece of mirror. My cold icy blue eyes stared at me almost as if judging me for my condition. I hadn't made my hair in more than fifteen days and took a proper shower two days ago. I immediately covered the mirror with the cloth hanging beside it and made my way to the small living room.

The day when my only friend Clara was buried in the pack graveyard,the rumors spread like forest fire that she used to visit me in the evenings and my curse killed her too. That was the day I had believed the things they said about me.

I noticed the weather was calmer and better now and it was the best time to secretly get into the pack and get some water for me. I locked the door behind me and almost laughed at the fact because nobody dared to even look at my secluded house and getting inside was another thing. I just wanted someone around me, to feel real again. But that was a distant dream which sounded impossible.

The beetles sang as an after effect of a big rainfall. The surrounding smelled of wet sand and cold air blew my hair. I felt alive and happy after being out in the woods. The pack was quite and no lamps were lit in the houses. I had my face covered with a cloth and with my head low, I hurriedly made my way to the centre of the village. I fetched a bucket of water and begun going down the same way I had come from. I looked over at my old chamber where I used to live with my father when the pack hadn't thrown me out yet.

I traced the lining of my necklace which was a handloom given by my father to me when I was five. It was his last and only memory of him which I would never let go off. Even though I knew it was risky but I wanted to see my father's painting once.I wanted to turn 18 in the same chamber as I was born into.

I gave a quick glance behind me and got inside the chamber doors. No body cared to enter this place either because I was born here.

I sat on the bed and looked over at my parents' painting as the tears fell on my cheeks. I didn't remember how long it was till I was sitting there and then boom... I could feel my senses increase and a distinct tasty scent made me restless. I hadn't noticed it was lingering in the chamber when I had entered.

My feet walked on their own to the source while my heart thudded in my chest with anticipation and anxiety. It was closer... Too close than it was a few minutes ago. Then I heard the voices.

"Fuck! Baby...Yes...I am going to squirt all over you again!" Some female screamed with pleasure and pain.

It was the shrill and excited voice of Amelia, the new Beta's daughter who joined after my father died. She had always hated me even though I was despised by everyone but her hatred for me was different. It was jealousy. But what did I have which she couldn't get?

"Yes,squirt all over me! " I knew the voice. It was Alpha Hayder. My heart clenched with pain of some sort of betrayal. Yes, Alpha Hayder could never be mine but I had a huge crush on him for a long time. He was polite with me for the most times when we met but kept his distance because he didn't want me either.

I couldn't stop myself from peeking inside and to my horror Alpha Hayder was already looking into my eyes as if he was waiting for me to get in.

"Mate..." I mouthed at the same time as him while he still banged the woman from behind. His beautiful curls were messy from the rough sex and his face was a pint red color from the excitement.

My face lit up for a second even though I felt like crying at his bad luck but his eyes turned dark and within a few seconds he was right before me and grabbed my throat letting Amelia fall on the ground. She angrily growled at me and made a smug face.

"No!Damm*t! " He punched the vase making it break into several pieces. With the blood covered hand, he grabbed my hair making me look into his feral eyes. " You can't be my mate! You're pathetic and I would rather die than having you as my other half. "

I took a few steps back, " I.... sorry. "

"Kill this bitch! She's trying to get between us. " Amelia added angrily.

" No, I promise. I didn't mean to come here. Please let me go. " I cried out in pain.

Alpha Hayder watched my face with a hard look in his eyes. But as soon as our eyes matched, he shook his head and slapped me.

"I,Alpha Hayder,of Eclipse Moon Pack,reject you as my mate!" He spat each word angrily and dragged me outside as the sounds of hundreds of hair uprooting from my scalp made me cry loudly...

"Fucking accept it! " He roared. Amelia stood right behind him and she was mocking me with that jealous face.

I choked on my words due to the pain of rejection as it spread through my body. This would be painful for us both when the mate bond would be shattered. But the most painful thing right now was how Alpha Hayder kept his mouth inches away from mine as if I was untouchable. He didn't want to glance at me for the risk of getting affected by the curse.

"I, Isla, accept...your...rejection. "I struggled to run away from him but he back slapped me. My body spasmed and the contractions grew almost killing me. I hissed in pain and my body twisted into a knot but Alpha Hayder didn't look at me for a moment as his eyes stayed focus on Amelia with an insane passion.

"Amelia, on your knees! " He ordered her.

Amelia walked over to him and their mouths collided against each other. I was pushed to the ground when forcibly I had to see Alpha Hayder finish his mating with Amelia right in front of my eyes. Amelia first took his length in her mouth and bobbed her head on it after licking his balls. He was peeking into my soul with that dark stare and still looking at me, he brought his fangs closer to Amelia's neck and marked her.

"Mine! " He growled now moving atop her. I closed my eyes but their voices haunted me until he released himself in her.

Amelia screamed with pleasure and I could hear the low growls coming out of his mouth as he allowed her to clean him clean. All the while his eyes were on me.

"If she wasn't cursed, I would have kept her as my sl*t... " He whispered to himself mostly.

Amelia was hurt but pretended to not show that on her face. It was the worst kind of pain when my mate rejected me and debased me like that.

"Hayder, don't forget how she has been the cause of your mother's death too..." She intentionally provoked him.

And it worked. Because the next thing I saw was Alpha Hayder clenching his jaw and grabbing my arm.

"She should have died long time ago. But don't worry because I will amend my actions... "

Isla's POV:

"Don't fuc*ing make any noise bit*h! I don't want anyone to see you with me. You cursed Bit*ch!" Maybe after twenty minutes of me lying on the ground when I thought they would let me go to my hut again, Alpha Hayder gripped my arms, making me stumble on my feet.

"I...don't ...want...Ahh!" I screamed when he punched me with his fist and I almost could see the stars in that cloud filled night.

Alpha Hayder was just wearing his pants and his scent aroused me in a most twisted way. Was I that desperate for human touch that even this monster turned me on?

He didn't let go off my hair until we reached the palace gates. As I relaxed a bit,his hands choked me from behind and he opened the dungeon door with the keys in his hands. It was so dark in there and he pushed me aggressively on the ground making my head hit against the wall.

I could feel my mouth filling up with the metallic taste of blood and my ankle hurt as if it was broken by the impact. My trembling hands wiped the blood off my nose and I cowered in the corner hiding myself with my small hands.

"You will rot here! I am going to take Amelia as my chosen mate publicy this morning and once our mating ceremony is finished, I will execute you! Fucki*g disgrace! " He locked the iron gate behind him and I heard three more sounds of the key turning in other doors too.

The faint moon light was my only source of motivation in this dreadful night. He would end my pathetic life and I wasn't complaining about it. At least I would get to meet my mother in Heaven. Maybe they would give me a better life next time. I laid down on the hard cold floor. It had started to grow darker again due to the clouds forming around the moon.

That's when I felt a stinging pain in my chest. As if I was pierced with hundreds of needles. My bones cracked and my senses were on high alert.

"What's happening with me? " I cried.

'You're shifting, idiot! ' A voice said out of nowhere. I frantically looked around me and couldn't the woman who just spoke to me.

"Who are you? " I cried in pain.

'Really? Are you that dumb? I am your wolf, Riley. 'The rain fell harder against the walls this time and before I could tell her I was so happy to get her my fingers turned into long nails and my jaw bone cracked.

I felt a sudden rush of energy coursing through my body as all my bones begun to crack and contort. My muscles bulged and my skin rippled as thick blue fur sprouted all over my body. My senses sharpened and my vision became clearer as I felt my teeth elongate into sharp fangs. I was no longer in my human form, but a powerful and fierce wolf.

"Let the wounds heal. "Riley whispered.

The self magical healing process started with a bright light entering my body and healing any physical or emotional pain. This light was coming from a higher power or the universe itself. I focused on the light and allowed it to wash over me, repairing any damage and restoring balance. The same process repeated thrice for continued healing.Then when I opened my eyes, it was all gone. The pain and the bruises from open wounds no longer hurt. Then, I was back to my human form and my gown was tattered during the transformation.

"We are so beautiful and magnificent. " I yelled with excitement.

"Yes, you truly are! You have a unique wolf, Isla. " Beta Stephen said touching his groin area and lust swam in his eyes. He stared at my breasts for longer than it could have been just out of mere curiosity. I covered myself with my bare hands but still it wasn't enough.

Beta Stephen moved the key in the lock and a wild smirk played on his lips.

"Gettt... Away from me... I am cursed... " I threatened him.

"But I want to devour every inch of your body. " He licked his lips and stepped on my hand making me immobilize at my spot.

Beta Stephen pushed me down on the cold floor and with his knee between my thighs he made me open up for himself. His dirty fingers ran along my inner thighs and he rubbed my clit. I shuddered with the contact and his eyes shone with a playful expression.

"You like it. Don't you? " He teased me.

I shook my head but he was far gone by now to notice my resistance. He encircled my entrance with his fingers and with other hand he begun to unzip his pants.

"Noo! " I shouted.

"Ssshh. I will make you feel good. " He spat on his hand and made my entrance wet enough for him to finger me.

Was it my actual fate? To be tormented by everyone until I die...

A loud crash occured upstairs and I heard hundreds of footsteps running here and there. The sounds of swords striking against each other filled the dungeon too. Beta Stephen was out of the trance of the lust which he was trapped in.

I covered myself from the pieces of my gown and struggled to get on my feet. Beta Stephen had one sword around his neck while another soldier handcuffed him.

"Who the fuck are you? " Beta Stephen roared at those men.

"The pack is won over by Dark Alpha Caden. So, better keep moving! " The soldier replied punching Beta Stephen on his jaw.

I tried to appear invisible by shrinking in the walls of the dungeon but to my bad luck, I was already seen by the bulky man who grabbed me by my hair. His hands rubbed my back and I winced when his fingers pinched my sore skin.

"Let's see what Alpha Caden wants to do with this petite young who*e." He gripped my hand and dragged me upstairs with him.

The palace stood in ruins, its once grand halls now reduced to rubble and debris. The walls were pockmarked with bullet holes and scorch marks, evidence of the fierce fighting that took place here. The grand staircase, once a symbol of opulence and power, now lied shattered and twisted. The courtyard, once filled with the sounds of laughter and music, was now silent and empty. The gardens, once meticulously tended, were now overgrown and wild. The air was thick with the smell of smoke and decay. It was a haunting reminder of the devastation of the Crescent Moon Pack.

The soldier finally let me go and I struggled to balance myself on the floor for few seconds and he made a face at my clumsy movements.

Then, it hit me. The scent of hundreds of roses but also a mix of vanilla with a pint of spice. It was everything I had never smelled before in my life. Something, forbidden but I longed for it.

"Mate." Riley said, looking at the tall mysterious man.

His demeanor changed too and he stopped torturing the Gamma while his head was still turned away from me. My heart was beating erratically against my chest as if it would explode any moment now.

I watched the dangerous man from a distance, his every move calculated and precise. His eyes darted around, scanning the area for any potential threats he had. He moved with a fluidity that spoke of years of training and experience. Every muscle in his body seemed to be coiled, ready to spring into action at a moment's notice.

"We have already beheaded the fifty men who tried to go against the new law. " Someone told him.

His body language looked a bit different now and I was confused as if he even recognised me as his mate. Because my wolf was going crazy inside my head to feel his presence. The women of the pack were hysterically crying in the corner, knowing that their fates were sealed. The new Alpha would make all of us his slaves and worse I would still be executed because of my curse.

"You're a handsome man and I want to make you feel welcome here. " Amelia said with a smirk playing on her lips. But I could see the terror in her eyes too.

How could I forget about her obsession of being in the power? She was going to seduce the new Alpha too and rule over us.

"Fuck off or I will rip out your heart. "

His dark voice made me shiver and I became aware of my nakedness as my nipples erected after his response. What the hell was wrong with me?

Amelia was taken aback by his response but she didn't dare to talk against him after this. I saw her vanishing behind the crowd of other young maids who were equally terrified. The girls she never even considered as equal were now providing her the shield.

"We have lots of young girls here, Alpha. You can choose anyone. " The Gamma said trying to hold his breath.

"How about I ask my men to fuck you instead? " He roared angrily.

Everyone gasped as he smirked wildly at him. I could only see the left side of his face till now.

"What? " Gamma asked, horrified by the possibility. " How could you? "

"Exactly. How could you? " He replied. " I didn't attack this pack for all these women. I... " And he turned his head taking my breath away in that instance, " I just want to own it without any limits. Something which is mine. And no one else's. "

My breaths caught in my throat and I felt the Gamma's eyes on me as they all noticed how the crazy Alpha was eyeing me as if I was a piece of cake.

Isla's POV:

Our eyes met and I knew by the look in his eyes that he caught the whiff of my scent too. His pupils dilated and he licked his lips still looking at me from top to bottom. A warm sensation evoked in my belly and I wiggled my brows when the blush began creeping on my cheeks.

"He will claim us! " Riley said, jumping with excitement.

But before reacting to the fact, he kept his face in that same dull expression. His heated gaze was suddenly changed to the hating glare.

As I watched him, I couldn't help but feel turned on by his mere sight. There was something in his eyes which could make people burn with excitement, fear and sexual desire.

He was my second chance mate. The revelation which would make any wolf excited.

But in no way he appeared to be happy or excited by meeting me instead he just kept his eyes plastered on my bruised face with his mouth set into a straight line. He seemed to be thinking about something very deeply and I doubted if he was considering to reject us because of my state.

"Alpha Caden. " A handsome and tall man said bowing before the man with a dark look ; "We have the runaway Alpha of this pack. Alpha Hayder. "

This made Alpha Caden to remove his gaze from my face and I let out a sigh of pleasure. He seemed to be more invested in killing people rather than talking to his fated mate.

But whatever it was, I would be better off without him claiming me. He was a bad news something which could kill me without giving it a second thought.

I forced my eyes to look around myself and found Alpha Hayder on his knees. Two guards stood beside him and one of them had grabbed his head to keep it bend on the floor.

Filled with fear and shame, Alpha Hayder kept his eyes fixated on the floor. He was badly injured and his desperate eyes pleaded pity on him. His hands were tied behind his back and Alpha Caden dragged him by the chain.

"You abandoned your pack and fled the war. What a shame! " He made fun of Alpha Hayder who curled his hands into fists.

I could have never imagined that he would leave his pack stranded to save himself. His father was a very Brave Alpha and he had always taught him to stand at the front and protect the people as if they were his own kid. But it was as if Alpha Hayder didn't care much about his pack members at all. He was not the man I had always imagined him as to be.

"I am ready to give you whatever you want but let my pack be free. " Alpha Hayder said with great difficulty because his jaw seemed to be broken.

A few gasps escaped the poor pack members' mouths as they waited for their ugly fate to unfold.

"Hmm. But you don't have anything that you can offer me. " Alpha Caden fixed his dark gaze on my half naked body. He raised his brow at the soldier who was holding me in place. A secret message or maybe the mind link.

A warm coat was wrapped around my naked body just when Alpha Caden again turned his back at me after checking me out thoroughly with his gaze. I gripped the sides to cover myself properly. It made me feel a lot better than before.

"You can take anything. " Alpha Hayder stated once again.

He was almost begging the Alpha to let him live even if it meant for him to lose his title and go rogue.

"No, I better make this pack go extinct because that's the best deal so far. " Alpha Caden pulled out his sword.

My legs trembled from the sudden fear of this man who was my second chance mate too. I heard a little whimper from the crowd of all pack members on their knees and a young girl hid behind her mother. My heart clenched at the sight and few tears rolled down my cheeks.

'We have to protect our pack! This is the time we can prove our loyalty.We need to calm our mate. ' Riley said.

I wasn't sure if it was a good idea or not but if he was our mate destined by moon goddess, he would at least listen to us. I could maybe make him not kill the people and let the young ones live a lot more years of their precious birth.

"Please don't kill us. " I whispered and Alpha Caden walked towards me with a smug expression on his face.

It was as if he was waiting for me to intervene so that he could have direct conversation with me and I didn't like how happy he looked but in a dangerous way.

I wasn't expecting him to actually hear what I said and everything seemed to engulf me as the distance between us shortened. The soldier holding my chain tightened it around my neck and it almost choked me.

"Leave her! " Alpha Caden growled and pushed the guy on the floor and before I knew he had beheaded the man. I closed my eyes and nerversely bit my lower lip as the blood covered sword came in contact with my hand.

He lifted my chin up with his thumb and stared deep into my eyes. A smirk still rested on his face.

"What did you say? " He asked getting extremely close to my face.

"Please... Please don't kill us. " I stammered and kept my eyes focused on his.

"But why? " He laughed at me and his few men joined him too. I felt the blush crept on my cheeks because of embarrassment and the reason that my mate was so close to him. His Alpha pheromone was making me dizzy and horny at the same time.

"I am your mate. Can you please...? " Before I could finish my sentence, he growled angrily at my face. I closed my eyes to avoid looking at his shifting eyes.

"I don't do mates! Don't you know I can't love? For me you or that lady have no difference! " He pointed at one young girl in chains.

"I can do anything. I don't want to be your mate either. " I cried.

Few loud gasps echoed in the hall and I bit my tongue nervously as I shouldn't have disrespected the Alpha like that. But it was too late now because Alpha Caden had his hand around my neck and he increased the pressure making it extremely difficult for me to breath.

"How dare you insult me like that? I will kill all these people because of you now. " He said through his gritted teeth.

"Please... Forgive me, Alpha. I will be your slave all my life. " I said as he dragged me away from the people standing there. Once in one of the Royal rooms, he locked the door behind himself. I shook with fear and my head spun with anxiety.

"Will you do everything I say? " He gripped the side of the coat and pulled it away from my body. I covered myself with my hands. He circled me as his eyes checked out my every curve.

"Yes, I will. But please don't hurt my pack. " I pleaded.

"Will you agree to be my breeder? To produce an heir for me. And in return I let that man child of Alpha Hayder take his pack back. " Alpha Caden asked pushing my body into the wall and his hard erection poked my belly. He was so turned on by me and he didn't hide his excitement from me either.

'But he is our mate! We cannot be his breeder. His wolf loves us but he doesn't. " Riley told me.

I couldn't think anything straight because his hands were roaming over my body and his scent made my thighs take up the heat of excitement.

"You have 10 seconds. Yes or No. I will command my Beta to behead everyone then. Including you. " Alpha Caden said.

'1... 2...3...4...5.....8..." He paced around the room with his hands on his back.

I didn't want to be in this sick deal of him. I was cursed and could never have a mate or children. But it was perfect if my mate never loved me and my children don't have to live with me. Even the fact that I would never love him was enough to make me agree to his deal.

"Yes. I will be the breeder for you. " I shouted before he could say the last number.

"Perfect. I will get the contract ready then. I don't believe your words. You need to sign it on paper. " Alpha Caden stated.

A contract? He definitely was insane. But at least I saved my pack and they won't hate me Or my parents from now. I sacrificed my freedom for them.

"Let me sort out everything here. Then we will go back to my pack. " He was about to leave but then stopped;" How many men have you fuc*ed? " He asked out of nowhere.

"None, Alpha. " I said in a low voice.

"You won't even dare look at another man once you sign the contract then. It's good you know how to keep your legs closed. " With this he was gone, locking me in the room to myself.

'He's fuck*ng rude! So cruel. I hate him already! I don't want to be his contracted mate! ' Riley growled in my head.
