Bride of the Cursed Alpha (Auren and Lucien)

Summer POV

The shock was so much that I couldn’t move a muscle when I saw a huge brown wolf lunging at me. I had seen wolves in my life, but this one looked evil. With his lips peeled back, his fangs drawn out, and his claws extended, he aimed at me. And at that moment, I thought I was going to die. I also wished one more thing–to be a werewolf.

The screams around me faded as I watched it, frozen to my spot, petrified. Somewhere behind me a blood–curdling snarl emanated. “Damonnn!”

I whipped my head to see what it was, and it all happened in a blur of a moment. My hair flew and right in front of my eyes, I saw Bradley transforming into a massive black wolf, taller than six feet. He opened his jaw wide and my heart skipped a beat. His maw was big enough to crush a skull in one go. The transformation was shocking for me. I had never seen anyone turning into a wolf. It was a chapter right out of a fantasy book. I should have backed away, run for my dear life for the fear of being sandwiched between two feral wolves. But here I was appreciating the beauty of Brad’s wolf. I guess, I had no survival instinct left within me. Or was it that I was numb? Maybe dead already?

Bradley’s wolf growled, rushing toward me. I screamed, ducking, thinking that he was also attacking me, but what happened next was surprising. Before the attacker could pin me, Bradley’s wolf barreled into him. And a massive fight ensued.

The fight between Bradley’s wolf and Damon’s wolf was fierce, a blur of fur, teeth, and claws. Damon, snarled, snapping his jaws at Bradley. Bradley’s wolf was aggressive. He growled and leaped, locking jaws with Damon. The two wolves tumbled across the ground, each fighting for dominance.

Bradley’s wolf landed a savage blow to Damon’s side, causing him to howl in pain. Damon retaliated, slashing at Bradley’s wolf with sharp claws, drawing blood. The air was filled with the sound of growls and snarls as the two wolves struggled against each other. Bradley’s wolf was relentless, his grow!

vibrating through the air as he twisted his body to pin Damon down.

With a final, forceful lunge, Bradley’s wolf sank his teeth into Damon’s neck, squeezing until Damon’s body went limp. The forest fell silent, except for Bradley’s deep, ragged breaths. Damon was dead. He dropped Damon to the ground, and looked at me. While I was shaken, I was unharmed.

His eyes darkened as he turned toward the pack who all dropped on their knees and inclined their heads in submission. Brad was filled with a primal need to protect what was his, and I, in that moment realized I was undeniably his.

He picked up Damon’s dead wolf, and dragged it to me. He dropped it at my feet like some kind of offering, and then stood tall. On instinct, reached out for Brad’s wolf. He brought his face down to my hand and snuggled it softly. Gods above. The big, bad, ferocious wolf, who just killed another, was so soft

to me.

“Brad…” I murmured. “Thank you…” No one had ever protected me the way Brad did.

He bowed to me slightly, and then shifted back to his human form. Someone brought him jeans to wear. The moment he wore it, he picked me up in his arms. The emotions inside me were crashing to the extent that felt numb. So I curled into his chest and closed my eyes, knowing that he was my world from now on. I didn’t have it in me to resist him any longer. All I hoped was that he accepted me, Would he?

Bradley took me to my room where he made me lie on the bed. “I’m so sorry,” he said as he brushed hair from my forehead. “That was Damon.”

“I know…”

He slid beside me. Curling his arm around me, he pulled me closer to him and both of us just revelled in that moment. Of being safe in each other’s arms. None of us moved. I think I slept. Or passed out.

When I woke up, morning sun was filtering through the curtains of the room, and Brad was looking at me with soft eyes.

“Are you awake, sleeping beauty?” he chuckled.

Immediately, I covered my mouth with the blanket. “I am.”

He laughed, pulled the blanket away, and pressed a deep kiss on my lips. It soon turned frantic. Before I knew, he pressed me to the mattress, his hard cock begging to dig deeper.

However, a knock on the door made me jump.

“Brad!” Tarian said. “Alpha Lucien wants you at the office!”

When we reached there, I saw an enraged woman standing over there. She snapped her eyes at me. “Oh, so you’re Summer?”

Brad bared his fangs at her, shoving me behind him.

“Maris. Careful,” Alpha Lucien warned her. Luna Auren was standing beside him, looking at Maris with equal hatred.

Her eyes were red with crying. She looked at Alpha Lucien. “Your son killed mine!” she screamed, her voice laced with grief. “He deserves to die for what he did!”

Lucien’s expression was stern as he met her angry gaze. “Bradley only defended himself and his mate, Maris. Damon wanted to kill Summer.”

“No!” Maris sobbed. “My son is dead because of him!”

Lucien banged the desk with his fist. “Don’t forget that he tried to kidnap Summer, but got Tamara instead. Or have you forgotten how Matt attacked your pack? Your son got injured in the fight, and then you hid him in the hospital. Matt didn’t kill him only because he thought that Damon won’t dare to come back or has learned a lesson. You begged him to leave Damon! We got the news that Damon was missing from the pack, but this was what he was up to. He was waiting in the shadows to kill Bradley’s mate!”

“Nooo!” Maris shouted. “My only son is dead. And it’s all because Auren hates me. She wanted to kill Damon because she still has a beef with me about

Bram!”

Josh, standing beside her, placed a hand on her shoulder. “Let’s go, Maris.”

“No, I demand justice!” Maris shoved him away. “I will take you to the council!”

Auren sighed. “We’re sorry for your loss, Maris. But Damon’s actions led to this. Bradley had no choice, What goes around, comes around, Maris,” she said calmly. “Your son’s actions were not right. You may take this to the council, but we have proof that Damon wanted to kidnap and enslave Summer.”

“No!” Maris‘ sobs intensified as she turned away.noveldrama

“Let’s go,” Josh tugged at her. “It’s no use. We knew Damon…”

“I’ll never forgive you,” she muttered under her breath as Josh guided her out of the room.

In the afternoon, after the final round, two girls exited, leaving only three contestants for the Alphas. As the two other girls chose the Alphas for themselves, I bit my bottom lip, glancing at Bradley. He was watching me with a smirk. God damn it. What was I supposed to do? When my chance came, Bradley sauntered to me. Then in a sudden move, he knelt on one knee and proposed, his voice full of love and pride. “Will you be my Luna, Summer? Will you marry me?”
