Riddle of the Witches
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Saying today was the longest day of my life wouldn’t be wrong. The clock was ticking so slowly, like someone had freezes the time. There was no sign of the Oracle, witches or any suspicious thing. It all feel like so normal.
I have not slept the whole night, thinking each and every scenario, playing every outcome of our tonight meeting. The talisman had already stopped working which only added fuel in the fire. I haven’t talked about it to anybody. Not even Diana.
Today was the blood moon and all of us were getting anxious. Nobody showed it on face but I could feel it through the link. I could feel my powers weakened, but surprisingly it was much less comparing the other she wolves of our pack.
“Okay packs, line up.” I commanded in the alpha voice. As if in queue all the warriors assembled in the three rows. One with the betas and omegas of our packs, one constitutes the she-wolves and the other comprises of trainees.
August walked beside me and stood

THE CURSED ALPHA Face Off
“How?” I asked my voice low. She looked past me, and her eyes glazed over.“I want to help you Esma.” She repeated her words pressing on the word help. I stared at her eyes for one long minute before shaking my head. She holds my hand and lifted it up to examine it.“See, so many scars, healed but fresh. You were using the talisman, but it isn’t of your help anymore. You needed answers.” She said straight to the point. How did she know about the talisman?“You wanted to know about Reed’s past? I can help you.” She said seriously as if she wanted me to believe her, her eyes looked pleading and maybe some concern. I scoff.“Oh yeah, like Reed did. You wanted to make me your puppet?” I asked mockingly.Her eyes widened I don’t know if in shock or something else but soon she recovered.“I didn’t asked Reed to take my help. He came willingly. He was the one who was hell bent to kill your alpha. He wanted revenge. I was just a medium. It was my mistake I trust him. It was a part of the deal.

I gulped soundly. He turned towards me painfully slowly. He glared at me like a hawk.I look like deer caught in a spotlight. Nowhere to escape I remained at my spot. His breathing was rugged and there was a turmoil of emotions in his eyes. Hurt, pain, regret but the one which was most prominent was the anger.Fuck.He was furious on me for not telling him about the letters. As if reading my thoughts, he clutched the paper in his hand harder.“What is this?” he grumbled, his voice on edge. He was in no mood to mess with.“Ummm… a letter.” I said innocently.He closed his eyes and rubbed them in exaggeration. I was shrinking by every minute. He was leaking a very dangerous aura. When he opened them, they were the most intense blue shade I have ever seen. He smirked and took a large step towards me eating most of the distance.I stepped back in reflex, he looked so carnal. So dangerous and I shudder
THE CURSED ALPHA Mates?
The wings flutters to and fro in the dark, sprinkling dusty scales in the circles of light. I am struggling to resist, but I am equally tempted to reach the light. I am drawn to it. and then, it’s so bright and I am flying too close to the sun, dazzled by the light, melting from the heat, it’s warmth, weary in my endeavour to stay airborne. I am so warm, the heat… it’s so stifling, overpowering, it wakes me. I opened my eyes feeling hot and bothered. I fluttered my eyes and soon come into my senses. I am draped in Reed Xander. He’s wrapped around me like a victory flag. He is fast asleep with his head on my chest and his arm over me, holding me close, one of his leg is thrown over and hooked around both of mine. He was suffocating me with his heat, and he is heavy. I took the moment to absorb that he is still in my bed and fast asleep. Tentatively I lifted my left hand and touched his back with my fingertips. Deep in his sleep, I hea
THE CURSED ALPHA Good news/Bad news
Neither Read nor August break the eye-contact. I could see how August holds Diana in his arms. His wolf was on the surface. His eyes shows possessiveness and sincerity. It was only nine in the morning and I don’t know how many surprises are packed for the day. Diana looked shyly towards me for her rescue. I smiled and winked at her. Her cheeks reddened more if possible. After god knows for how long Reed finally shakes his head and said something incoherently. Something about moon goddess and sprinted in his room leaving all of us surprised. August didn’t break his sight until Reed closed the door behind him. “You stupid idiot, you are choking her.” I slapped him on his arm to get his attention. August looked at me and then at Diana and for a moment his eyes softened. As if he didn’t believe how come he get something so precious. He looked adorably at her as if already fallen for her. Diana blushed crimson red under his intense gaze. He pulled h

Esma’s pov I closed the door behind me after bidding good night to Diana and my mother. Reed had vanished. Diana told me he had gone for some work along with Asher and will probably return by tomorrow. Since Diana told me she had seen my death, my mind is not at rest. Who will kill me? I haven’t done any harm to anyone. Neither I have any enemy. If I have to die, I would have died when I went to meet Hecate. She could easily kill me with the snap of her finger. Also, she had the best reason to do so.Then who else? Diana told me the future is capricious. It is un predictable and based on our actions or thoughts. “The world is woven from the billions of lives Emmy. Every strand crossing every other. If we could just attenuate to a single strand, the future could be entirely calculative.”Diana’s words rang in my head. She talked into riddles but I can’t blame her. maybe witches are tau

“Reed.” He turned back immediately. “You know, magic comes with a cost and you have asked me a way more than what you deserved.” Hecate said, her voice so cold and clear, it could cut though glass. Reed nodded and walked outside the house. I followed him and walked out the door but before I could match his pace, the whole place dissolved into mist. There was nothing but darkness. I could hear some faint voices in the darkness, suddenly they grew louder and clearer, in next second, there was a loud shriek before everything turned silent. I looked everywhere in search of anything and slipped on something. My clothes soaked in the sticky liquid. The smell was foul and I could throw up any second. I quickly stood on my legs and walked in the direction from where I assumed, I hear the scream. I walked till I saw dash of light and soon find myself in front of the very familiar door of the castle. I opened the door and there he was, standing in all his glory
THE CURSED ALPHA The Curse
“Now, you know everything about me.” He said still sitting on the chair not breaking the eye contact. I gulped soundly. I looked like a small kid who caught red handed doing something she told no to do. We sat there looking in each other eyes trying to read minds. So much feelings and emotions were leaking in me through the mate bond. Anger, hurt, pain, but the one which was remarkably distinct was vulnerability. My heart aches and as if he realised that I could feel his turmoil of emotions he blocked me. He stood silently and walked towards the door. “No.” (This gives me a major déjà vu) He turned and looked above his shoulders. His eyes were filled with unshed tears and my heart aches for him. Behind those ocean blue eyes there was still that ten years old boy, I believe. Behind this hard muscular body there was a soft heart who still knows how to beat. “Please don't leave me. Not now, not ever.” I muttered and looked d
THE CURSED ALPHA The Heat
Author’s pov Esma lay in bed that night, reviewing the next day’s plan. She wished her head felt better. The talisman had taken a toll on her health. The witches and their magic didn’t suit the werewolves. She had already taken the aspirin, but the throbbing was worse. She was perspiring, and the room seemed unbearably hot. Her heart felt heavy. Sleep have somehow left her eyelids. She turned sidewards to look at the reason of her sleepless nights. The most tyrant, ruthless, merciless, a self-proclaimed wolf prince who thought he had no heart.Thecursed Alpha.Her mate.As if in cue, the man snored lightly. She set the alarm for the next day and continued admiring the beautiful features of her mate, until the sleep finally claimed her. The bell rang and she was in the same forest standing in the front of a ten years old boy with ocean blue eyes and

Reed’s pov “You got to be fucking kidding me moon goddess.” I said under my breath and sprinted to my room. Diana? Seriously out of all the people, Diana? And that to with Esma’s brother? That shitty, good for nothing brother of hers. I closed the door behind me so hard that it could break open from the ceiling. I washed my face several time trying to cool down my anger and closed my eyes. You are afraid Reed. Words of moon goddess rings in my head again and again. Suddenly, an idea struck to my brain and I walked back to the room and pulled out my bag under the bed. I know Luna is playing a game with me, she sure knows how to push my buttons. Today is Friday, which means Blood moon is six days away. After blood moon, I will lose her. I have to meet her today only. I have to know what is in her mind. I quickly wore a black hoody; I don’t want other people to know that I going out. I opened the la

THE CURSED ALPHA I Love You
“WHAT?” August asked-shouted and I slammed my hand on his mouth to shut him up immediately.“Can’s you keep your tone low for a second?” I removed my hand from his face and sat back on my chair. It was already half past twelve so technically it was morning. Diana was still unconscious. I walked in the kitchen to prepare some coffee.August followed me silently, I looked at him from the corner of my eye, he was equally restless. I put the coffee on the stove and turned to face him.“When did you think parents will return?” I asked trying to change the topic. He didn’t look at me, his eyes fixed on the stove as if he was in the deep thoughts.“August?” I snapped my fingers in front of him and he finally acknowledged my presence.“Huh? I don’t know, we have a house in the city, it is already late, they must have stayed there only.” He said and
THE CURSED ALPHA Final Lead
I closed the door behind me as soon as I entered the house. My eyes were searching for the only person who was responsible for all of it.I quickly sprinted in the direction of kitchen; August’s scent was the most prominent there.“Why did you do this to me?” I bellowed. August looked perplexed by my sudden outbreak; his face was covered in confusion. He must have noticed my swelled eyes and tears-stained cheeks because in the next moment he was by my side.“What happened Emmy?” he asked and I know he was purely intact from the whole situation.“Where is Diana?” I asked instead and he jolted back a little hearing the anger and hatred in my voice.“She has locked herself in her room since morning. I tired to asked her but she only asked me to go away.” He said and his face fall momentarily.As soon the words were out of his mouth, I was quick on my heels and knocked on the door. august sil
THE CURSED ALPHA GoodBye
Esma’s povI quickly transformed in my wolf as soon as Reed left me alone in the house. My wolf was bugging me whole day to let loose and let her run. It has been ages since I changed into my wolf.Last time I transformed in my wolf it was when I showed it to Reed on the night when he took me out for our date. I quickly piled off my clothes and put them in a carry bag and soon let my wolf took over my senses.The bones twisted, turned and snapped and in the next second, I was standing in all four. Elsa let an ear-piercing howl and with that we ran in the direction of the forest. My paws rugged through the ground as I pushed myself more and more to run faster.Other wolves bowed in front of me as soon as they sensed me. I didn’t stop and continued running deeper into the forest till I reached the borders. Suddenly Elsa stopped on the tracks and started sniffing around. Her ears straightened and she growled lowly as if sensing s

“What did you just say?” Reed asked and I could already feel he was trying to control his anger, trying not lose his calm but failing miserably.“I…” I gulped soundly and looked around for someone, anyone for my rescue.Fuck, not Diana, not even August.“I met Hecate last night.” I said and pursed my lips. I don’t know why but for some reason he intimidates me so much. Suddenly I felt like I was standing in a principal’s office and he was not my mate but the old grumpy teacher.He closes his eyes and tried to take deep breaths. “I am not grumpy.” he grumbled and suddenly I started giggling. He looked annoyed and… embarrassed.I giggled and soon they turned into full-on hysterical laughs. He didn’t say anything then, just kept looking at me amusingly.“What did you find amusing?” he asked and I could feel he was also trying to supress his smile.
THE CURSED ALPHA Surprise Visit
“What are you doing here Esma?” A very familiar voice interrupted my train of thoughts. I turned to the owner of the voice which revealed to be none other than that of Dumeny.He looked amused and happy at the same time. I must be clutching the door knob with so much force because in the next moment Dumeny walked towards me and touched my hand to release it.Immediately the door opened and a pair of hands wrapped around my waist trying to pull me again to the bedroom.“No running, kitten.” Reed chuckled and pulled me more towards him but stopped as soon his eyes collided with Dumeny’s and finally set on his hand on mine.Without wasting any second I lose my hand from his hold and chuckled nervously.“Hey Dumeny. What a surprise visit. Huh?” I said and rubbed my neck nervously. The two alphas were staring into each other’s eyes, demanding authority and trying to prove the
THE CURSED ALPHA Begin Where left Off
I woke up as the sun shined down at my face from the window. My eyes blinking the harshness of the bright sun away and trying to focus. Reed’s arms were wrapped around me. His hands clutching my waist, keeping my bottom close to his and his other hand under my head acting as a pillow. His scent surrounded me. I admired his features. He is so sexy in his sleep. I gently put my hand on his wrist and as slowly as carefully I could, tried to lift and remove it. I had succeeded halfway when his hand grabbed mine and turned me over, pulling down underneath himself and climbing on top of me. I gasped in surprise, barely managing to hold my scream. “What?” I whispered as my eyes widened and shot up to look at his beautiful face. “Why did you wake me up?” Reed growled in a sleepy voice and dropped his face in my neck, leaving a trail of kisses from the blade of my shoulder to the insides of my neck. I twitched instantly, the ticklish feeling of
THE CURSED ALPHA More Secrets
“You have to be more specific when telling the directions.” I said reaching the same cliff where I first met her, few days ago. So much have happened since then.I have seen Reed’s past, his life, his struggles and his curse. We were marked now. We were officially mates now. I knew she was already here as I could sense her. she was hiding in the woods. But this time she was alone.“I don’t want unwanted arrivals.” Hecate said emerging from the woods. Her eyes were the first thing that capture my attention whenever we meet. They were still purple and I sighed in relief internally. Her gaze collided with me and for some reason I could sense her smile.“You have seen it haven’t you?” she asked. I tried my best to look smug and obvious but I know she was a witch and probably seen it before meeting me here.“Why did you send the human on my territory? And that to severely injured. You could send me th
