Bride of the Cursed Alpha (Auren and Lucien)

Chapter 141

Chapter 140

Third POV

A month ago.

Bram had never known rage quite like this. After he had heard that Auren had got into labor, he was enraged as hell. He stormed out of his room and went to his library where he sat alone. He didn't want to see Maris or hear her voice or smell her scent of dead rats. All he wanted was to be with Auren or think of her.

He waited for the next update from his spies. Maris came to him a few minutes ago and asked him to have dinner. But he was on his fifth glass of whiskey. Just then his spy entered and said, "Luna Auren has given birth to twins."

The moment he heard that Auren had survived the birth and had given Alpha Lucien not one but two pups, something inside him snapped. He upended the whiskey glass in his hand. It shattered across the floor. Then he grabbed a heavy chair and hurled it at the wall. The crack of splintered wood echoed through his house.

"They should have been mine!" he growled, pacing the library like a caged beast. "My pups. My legacy. Not his." He slammed his fist on the table. "That bitch is going to pay for this!"

Maris sat on the chair in the corner near the hearth with her arms folded across her chest. With an icy expression on her face, she watched him with narrow eyes. She hated how he thought of her all the time. "She will die," she said coldly. "You know the curse, Bram. It claims every she-wolf who had given birth to Shadowfang heirs. She has only a few days left, maybe less."

Bram stalked toward her. In a blink, his hand closed around her throat. He lifted her slightly, and sneered. "If you ever speak of her death with glee again, you will be the one six feet under!"

She clawed at his hand, wheezing. His wolf was gone, but he was still enough to tackle her. He let go of her and she collapsed onto the floor, gasping for air.

"How can you do this to me?" she snapped. "After all that I have done for you?”

"What you have done for me was out of pure selfish reasons," he snarled. "Had you not come into my life and poisoned me about Auren, she would have been with me. My wolf would have been with me!"

"It's not like you wanted to be with her!" she shouted as she cried. "I didn't do anything you didn't want."

"Get out!" he shouted. "Get out, before I kill you!"

Maris got up and ran out of the library, crying. "Bastard!" she muttered as she went back to her room. She called her maids. When Reya and Hyra fluttered around her, rubbing ointments on her bruises, Reya whispered poison in her ears. "You are so much better than that lowly omega, Luna. You are smarter, prettier and you are a born Luna. Alpha Bram will realize it one day."

Hyra chimed in. "He is caught in the past. Once the curse claims Auren, there will be no competition left."

Their words made her smirk. "The curse will soon take her," Maris scoffed as her bruises darkened. "Then Bram will regret what he did to me!"

When Hyra left, Reya came close to Maris. "There is one thing I wanted to say," she said, glancing at the door.

"What?" Maris asked, lying down.

"Beta Josh wants to see you. In private."

"What for?"

"I don't know," Reya replied with mischief in her eyes.
