Bride of the Cursed Alpha (Auren and Lucien)

Auten POV

I couldn't believe that Finn was lying on Alpha's face so blatantly. Tears streamed out of my eyes as the sting of his slap burned in my skin. I was just an omega breeder. And there was no reason why Alpha Lucien or for that matter anyone believed me. "I didn't." I rasped through my tears. I had to give it a try because I knew that if I wasn't proven innocent, Alpha would throw me in his dungeons. But hose could do that" "He-he's lying," I said with quivering lips. "He brought me here, along with the diree other."

I was sitting in the main hall of the pack house when these four approached me. When Finn said that I was beautiful, I blushed. They were so gentle and sweet at that time. After complimenting me, they went awczy. However, I was left alone and heard people talking nasty about me once again.

I shouldn't have stepped outside. I knew it the moment the chilly air bit at my skin. The Celestial Soiree was still in full swing behind me, and the music spilled from the grand hall, Lucien had made it clear: stay here. But I had felt so suffocated under all those watchful gazes and nasty comments, and so our of place that I needed a moment to breathe.

I walked to a stone path that led to a quiet countyard. I hugged my arms to ward off the cold or the unease curling in my chest. Taking a deep breath in I wondered if I could ever be a part of this place even if for a year. Maybe the moon goddess was right in making me the bride of the cursed Alpha. It was better that I died.

"Look who we have here finally, a low voice drawled, snapping me out of my thoughts.

1 froze, my heart stuttering. When four wolves stepped out from the shadows, I recognized them instantly.

"Alpha Lucien's

s little lamb," said Finn, his tone mocking "Wandering all alone. Were you missing us?noveldrama

"I-I jun needed some fresh air. I stammered, taking a step back.

"Oh, we can keep you company, Jace smirked, his gaze raking over me in a way that made my skin crawl

My wolf, Siena, stirred uneasily within me, but she was still too weak, too distam to help. I clenched my hands into fists, forcing myself to stand taller even as my legs trembled. I made my way out of the courtyard, but Blake blocked it. "What do you want?" I hissed. "Lucien won't be happy if he finds out you're bothering me," I said, trying to sound firm, though my voice wavered.

They laughed. "Alpha Lucien isn't here right now, Finn sneered, stepping closer. "But we are. And you're a breeder. Don't you want to fuck all of us? I'm sure Alpha Lucien wouldn't mind it." Then he winked at his friends. "Who knows that she has already offered her pussy to oders! How about we find it!

"Are you insane!" I squeaked as I took another step back, but my heel caught on the edge of the path, and 1 stumbled:

"Careful, little lamb Finn taunted, his grin widening "We wouldn't want you to get hurt. All we want is your pretty little urnega pussy. After that you are good to go."

The group closed in, their towering forms blocking out the light. Panic clawed at my chest as I realized I was trapped.

"Don't!" I warned, my voice barely above a whisper.

"Oh, come on. We just want to talk while we bang you," one of them said, though his smirk told a different story. "You're new here, after all. It's only polite to introduce ourselves."

"And maybe teach you a lesson," another added, his eyes gleaming. "You don't belong here, parading around like you're special. You're just an omega, and an omega should know her place."

Tears pricked at the corners of my eyes. "I'm here for Alpha Lucien," I seethed through my tears. “Not for anyone else." So what if I was a breeder? I was Lucien's breeder, not theirs. "So get lost!"

Suddenly Blake grabbed my arms as Jace wrapped his hand around my mouth. "Not a word omega," he whispered dangerously and they dragged me to a glasshouse, I struggled, kicking and clawing them, but they were four warrior wolves. How could I be a match to them? Siena whimpered inside me restlessly, When we reached the glasshouse, they pushed me away. I stumbled and fell. But I got up and shouted, "How dare you? I am warning you-Alpha

In a flash of a moment, Finn stepped forward and slapped me hard on my cheek. I shrieked and rumbled on the couch behind me with sharp pain stinging my skin.

"Listen bitch," he hissed. "You are a fucking omega, who is a breeder, So do your job. Once Lucien fucks you, he will throw you to us, so you better prepare yourself for our cucks!"

Suddenly, a low growl cut through the air, deep and menacing. The wolves froze, their smug expressions faltering

Turned my head just the glass smashed and someone entered. Lucien. His golden eyes glowed like molten fire, his face a mask of fury. His

presence was a storm, crackling with power and rage, and blood flowing down his forehead and arms.

"I thought I made myself clear, he said to me, his voice a dangerous rumble

The wolves immediately stepped back, their cocky demeanor replaced by fear. "Alpha-" one of them started but Lucien cut him off with a spark that made my heart leap

In a blur of a movement, all of them were struggling to be on their feet, bloodied and gasping for air. Blake had run away but I knew that Lucien would burg fun. And then Fim lied. I shook my brail hoping that Lucien would see the truth in my eyes

Lucien's golden eyes narrowed, dark with an interity that sent a chill racing down my spine. For a fleeting moment, I thought he was assessing me

-udging my trembling form and the panic I failed to hide. But then, his sharp gaze sapped to Finn.

11 happened so fast I could barely process it.

One moment, Lucien was standing still. The ness, a growl ripped from his throat- a sound so feral is made my knees buckle. My hair whipped across my face as a powerful gust of air stirred around us.

When I managed to brush the strands aside, my gaze landed on Finn

I gasped

Lucien's claws were buried deep in Finn's neck. Finn's eyes widened as he coughed blood, his body frozen in shock as blood seeped around Lucien's hugens.

"Alpha-" Finn croaked, his voice harely audible.

Finn gurgled struggling to speak, bus Lucien didn't let up. His claws dig deeper, and Finn's knees gave out forcing him to ag against Lucien's iron

Lucien leaned in his face inches from Finn's. "You don't touch what's mine with that he pulled his claws out and Finn lay there dead on his feet. As I tried to process what happened, my mind in stunned shock, he commanded Tarim and the rest of the warriors. "Take these two to the dungeons and find Make" Then he strode to the scouped me in his arms and carried me out of the glasshouse.

I couldn't bear the mental shock and Einted in his armis,
