The Dinner
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56It took me almost an hour before I changed from my work attire and wore one of my dresses I had gotten and did my party makeup. Once I was done, I stood motionless, glaring at my own reflection and feeling a little disheartened. Knowing Dumeny, I was already prepared for something fancy. He never hosts just dinners. Dinner was just for the sake of name for him.
Dumeny came behind me and stood silently looking at my reflection. "You look great."
"Thanks," I whispered back, the undazzled look still not leaving my face.
"What's wrong." Dumeny asked, voice lased with concern.
I shake my head; I don't want to spoil his mood. I couldn't talk to him about Reed. God knows what he would do then.
"Nothing." I faked smile and hold his hand. "let's go to the dinner." I said quickly changing the topic and crossed my hand with his. We walked through the stairs of the hall only to entered in the hotel's dining room.
"You booked it already?" I asked grinnin

Reed's pov"Refill it and leave the bottle." I ordered the waitress. She silently nodded and sprinted back to the counter. I gulped the first glass like it was water and refill the glass quickly. Today was one of the longest day of my life.I hated that Asher ditched me at the last second otherwise I won't be here at the first place tolerating the presence of these scumbags. I doubted if Asher's presence would make any difference now.After all, she was here.As if in queue, she walked through the stairs, walking in her own glory. Her red dress was not helping either. Her hazel brown eyes were the first thing that always caught my attention. So vibrant, fierce but still laced with innocence. Her deep brown hairs were longer than I last remember. My hands ached to play with her hairs' curls.I shake my head. I was acting like some love sick teenager. I decided to leave the room before I would do something I regret.I w
THE CURSED ALPHA The Oracle
“Are you sure you are alright?” Dumeny asked for the fiftieth time.I nodded. And with that he started pacing around the room again.“Why were they after her?” Diaz asked the most obvious question everyone were thinking about right now.“Hell, she is the alpha, and the top of that she is a female, making her the easy target.” Darek said lamely as if stating the facts.Was I really an easy target?“I guess we should deliver her…” before Darek would have completed that sentence, Dumeny backed him to the wall by his neck.“Say the word and that would be your last sentence before death.” Dumeny said, baring his canines, showing his wolf on the surface. Darek was fighting to loose himself from his hold, his face turning blue with every second.“Dumeny stop it. I don’t want anybody fighting for me.”Surely not after when the witches al
THE CURSED ALPHA The Homecoming
Reed was gone as soon I completed the whole story covering every single detail from the hooded lady, the veiny guard and a head of beta Casper of Dumeny's pack. I gulped the water to ease the functioning of my brain, it was already past midnight and I doubted anybody wanted to sleep.Dumeny was sitting beside me. After his incident with Diaz, he had his guards up, any movement and he will be changed into his wolf. Reed returned sooner than I anticipated. He threw two bags on the table. I easily recognized one because it was mine. He quickly placed some papers, zipped it close and turned towards me.“You are going with me.” He said as a matter of factly. Before I would say something Darek interrupted. “Then what? They want her blood; they wouldn’t stop until we hand over her to them, they had the blade of Zydus.” Dumeny looked at Darek as if he was out of his mind.“Have you heard yourself? They wanted us to turn back on each o
THE CURSED ALPHA Necromancer
I opened my eyes only to greeted by the sunlight peeking through the window. I blinked twice before I realized it was not my bed, and yesterday’s events flashed in my mind. The witches, blade, Oracle. I shake my head and hoped it was just some sick dream. But my conscience already knew the answer.I pulled myself from the bed and stand near the window. The sun was peeking from the clouds painting the whole sky gold. Last night I slept like baby. I don’t recall the last time I have such a peaceful sleep. I felt refreshed.I freshen up and called August to check on pack, I had already lied about the postponement of the meeting but I am not quite sure how he will react when he know that I am at Reed’s house, but now I don’t want to think about that. I quickly changed in black shots and put my hairs in a bun. I haven’t eaten anything since last night and my stomach growled in agreement.The castle was huge. It was not like the nor
THE CURSED ALPHA A Change
It’s been one week since I have arrived here. Since I last seen him. Living away from him was never been an easy task but the fact that now we were living under the same roof and on the same floor was worse. I have rejected him but can still feel the mate bond. Diana told me it was because the rejection has to be from both sides and Reed never rejected me. He simply accepted it and flied.I know the bastard did it on purpose. Diana on the other hand had more respectful approach, she told he saved me from the pain of being rejected which I hardly doubt was his slightest intention.The pain of the rejection was much worse than the pain of my first transformation. And now living under the same roof, knowing your mate would probably in the next room was nothing more than torture. Reed kept distance from me from the first minute I entered the castle.He would leave early in the morning before I would be awake and come late at nights. He would send Asher to chec
THE CURSED ALPHA Lonely And Horny
“Diana?” I shouted the name of the only person I wanted to meet. I was tired and excited at the same time; I want to spill every single detail of our journey to Diana. Reed and I had made some progress, unlike other times, we talked like properly talked and he not ignored me.Reed had to check on the borders so he left me on the main gate. On the top of that he bid me goodbye. I was grinning like a mad teenage girl, who had first time talked to her crush.“Diana?” I asked checking each room. The lights were off, the servants were probably gone by now. After looking through each room I opened my bed room. A white note was placed at the middle of the bed. I sat on the bed lazily and opened the note. I know who wrote the letter.Dear Esma,It seems that the work for which I had gone would probably take some time and I doubted you had to live without me for few days. I hope Reed will not give you hard time (b
THE CURSED ALPHA The Message
Reed’s pov“Yes, Asher I am on my way.” I hung up the phone and drive fast to the outskirts of the city. He had called me hundredth time but this time his voice was on edge. Today I took Esma to my favorite restaurant for lunch. I could take her to the nearest bakery on the next street but I can’t make myself to do that. Somehow, I liked to spend time with her. but I can’t speak it on her face. I like her instantly when I first saw her. she is perfect in every way.She was everything a man needed; she should be worshipped. And this gives me another reason to hate myself. But I can’t make myself to tell her all the horrible things I have done, how I shred the blood of innocents. I am not worth enough for him. I am a monster.Cursed.After lunch Asher was calling me non-stop. I drop Esma on the gates and left only after ensuring she had entered the castle. She was totally opposite of me, ev
THE CURSED ALPHA Breaking the Ice
Esma’s pov“Can you pass some salt please?” I asked eating my food not looking in his direction. We ate our food in complete silence. Neither he nor I make an eye contact. He was completely avoiding me and after our littleaccidentI was doing the same. He passed me the salt and I quickly grab the bottle from his hand.I was making sure not make any physical contact with him. A long but comfortable silence stretched between us. Somehow the silence seemed to connect us, in the way the words never could. Or maybe it was my brain which was playing with me.He opened a file from his bag he brought from the car earlier and started reading it. he looked somewhat disturbed after his return from the borders. I wanted to ask him, only if I had some courage. After what seems to be an awfully long time, I tried to break some ice.“When will Diana return?” I asked in a low voice.He

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
