Married To The Cursed Alpha

~Zuri~

"You!"

I gasped as a hand wrapped around my neck, jolting me out of my nice sleep.

My eyes snapped open to see Corvus, pinning me to my bed, glaring at me as his f*****g glowed red. His eyes were actually glowing like tiny rubies!

What the hell!

"W— Wh— ah—" I choked and clawed at the hand on my throat.

"Did you convince Vesper to drug me, or was it the other way around?" He growled as I squirmed beneath him.

Drug?

I didn't drug him.

I didn't even know how he got into my roo— oh. f**k!

Jenna turned me into a b***h in heat. Corvus stormed into my room, and we— s**t! We f****d!

"I— Y— ah—" I choked and tried to kick the bastard off me, but f**k, he was built like a mountain.

"Vesper, I presume. You're not smart enough to pull this off by yourself." He replied, and I would have glared at him and called him a f*****g crazy asshole if my lungs could just get enough air.

Black dots flooded my vision, my throat burnt, and my head swam with fuzz.

Fuck...

If he... he didn't let go now... I... I...

The pressure on my neck disappeared just before I could reach the other side, and I took in a large gulp of air. I pressed my hand to my chest, gasping and coughing as the dark spots cleared from my vision.

Fuck, the bastard almost killed me.

Fuck... the bastard almost killed me?!

"What... what the f**k is wrong with you?" I spluttered as I sat up and pulled the covers over my naked body. I glowered at Corvus as he put on his clothes. f**k his hot body; I wanted to curse him some more and kick him in the nuts.

But the soreness in my throat and my heart racing were a dark reminder of my reality.

Two seconds more and I would have been dead.

What was stopping him from finishing the job now?

"I will kill your entire family, including your auntie Cordelia, if what happened last night gets out. Do you understand?" He eyed me over his shoulder, and my stomach dropped.

He knew about Auntie Cordelia?

"Do you understand?" he asked again.

"Yes, but why are you acting li—"

He slammed the door behind me, and I flinched.

"Ugh! f**k you, crazy asshole!" I yelled as I tossed my pillow at it, and it landed halfway across the room.

I was the victim of him and his family. Vesper and Jenna f*****g drugged me. They messed with the wrong girl. I grabbed my phone and saw a few missed calls from Auntie Cordelia and Julian and a text from Seraphina asking to meet up later today but I ignored them. Only one person was on my mind.

My lips curled to a large scowl as my calls to the old crone kept going to voicemail, and I slammed my phone to the bed. I was going to burn this hotel to the ground.

Ring Ring

My phone rang, and I quickly answered.

"How f*****g dare you, you f*****g crone?" I seethed as I tossed the covers to the ground. "You f*****g drugged me—"

"Zuri?" Auntie Cordelia said, and I cringed.

"Sorry, Auntie. I thought it was Vesper," I apologised.

"Did something happen between you and her? I heard drugs. Are you alright?" She worried.

"I'll explain when I get home, but first, I'm going to burn this place to the ground."

"What? Don't do anything rash, Zuri. Come home."

"Not yet, I—"

"Come home now. I don't know what happened, but I don't think violence is the solution. Especially for someone like Vesper. Her family is more powerful than ours and you could go to jail if you act unreasonably."

"But—"

"Please come back home. Whatever is the problem I'm sure we'll find a mor—"

She fell into a coughing fit, and my breath hitched.

"Are you alright? Did you throw up this morning?" I fretted.

"I'm fine. Just please come home. You're making me worried," she pleaded.

"Give me twenty minutes. Do you want me to get you that herbal tea you like?" I asked as I stood up.

"No, I'll tell Amanda to do that. Just come home."

"Ok. Later." I ended the call, and I frowned.

My fist itched to punch Vesper and Jenna in the face, but revenge would have to wait until later.

I went to the bathroom, washed my face and stared at my reflection in the mirror. Heat rushed to my cheeks at the hickeys littering my neck.

My fingers trailed down my body to my core, and my eyes fluttered.

Yesterday was deliciously intense, despite how it was planned.

Corvus might be an asshole but damn, he knew how to please a woman. No man had ever touched me the way he did. It was… primal… wild… so damn f*****g hot.

A small stroke against my heat and I gasped, throwing my head back.

Fuck, I needed him.

"Corvus," I breathed as I stroked myself again.

I gripped the wall, gasping and moaning as my fingers played with my slick fold. I wanted him buried between my thighs like last night. His hard on stretching every inch of me until I—

"Corvus!" I cried out as a powerful release ripped through me, and I collapsed against the wall.

Fuck! What was wrong with me? My attraction to Corvus was a curse.

I washed my hands as I stared at the reflection of my hickeys. Ugh, I didn't have a concealer to—un? What the hell was that?
