The alpha king’s cursed mate.Chapter nineteen.Execution is the furthest thing from my mind. I never meant for any of this to happen and before papa and mama would have to make the decision to kill me, I’d leave the kingdom for good. I never wanted this curse. Why would Gema want me to live like this? To die over and over again? To love a Caputo knowing none would love me back? “Cali, I’m sorry,” I glance out the window and stare up at the palace that once felt like home but now it seems so foreign.“I don’t want to be here,” Bane exhales a sharp breath and puts the car in drive. Neither of us say a word as my thoughts begin to fade as my eyelids become too heavy and close in accord.……..Bane.I lift Cali from the car and she cuddles herself to my chest. I grip her tightly as I carry her sleeping body into the house. I lay her softly on my bed and cover her with the blanket she shifts on her side and strands of hair fall over her eyes. Before I could stop myself I moved the hair
The Alpha King’s Cursed Mate.Chapter twenty.“Good morning,” Bane says coming through the door. I’ve been up for almost an hour now sitting at the window overlooking the beautiful green forest just beyond the house. Bane must have brought me to his house when I didn’t want to go to the palace.“Morning,” I replied.“Are you hungry? My mom made breakfast,” I nodded my head and Bane extended his hand and I placed mine in his as he led out of the room and down the stairs. He led me down a hallway and through swinging doors.Julia was standing at the island cutting strawberries and bananas and Jerry was reading the newspaper at the table.I’ve only ever met his parents once or twice at the palace. Mama and Julia are good friends and Jerry works at the South Gate of the kingdom's property line.Bane pulls out a chair for me and I sit down and mutter a thank you. Jerry sits his newspaper down as Julia sits a plate of food in front of him, he kisses her cheek and tells her thank you and sh
The Alpha King’s Cursed Mate.Chapter twenty-one.When I arrived back at the palace Mark and Tyson Mortaga was there.He really is going to move up the wedding. How could he do this to me to his daughter?“Cali, shall we go sit by the pool while our fathers talk?” Tyson asks.Papa nodded to me and I took Tysons hand and led him toward the pool.“What’s going on?” I asked Tyson once we were alone at the pool.“I did,” Tyson smiled wide.“Did what?”“I got us out of this arrangement. Mya is pregnant and father agreed to let me be with her since he’s going to be a grandpa,”“Xanders not going to let him back out. He told me last night he was moving up the wedding,” Tyson nods.“He called my father and he thought it’d be better to tell him in person the wedding was off,”I wrapped my arms around Tyson.“Thank you,” I murmured.“I hope we can still be friends?”Tyson says.“Of course,”………..“How was Dominic?” Kyle asked Mama.After Mortaga's left papa stayed in his office he was avoiding
The Alpha King's Cursed Mate.Chapter twenty two“How are you feeling?” Doctor Jacob asks when he enters my room.Today Doctor Jacobs is doing an ultrasound to check the baby to make sure he or she doesn’t have the same heart condition that Dominic does. I didn’t want to do this not yet but Dominic insisted on it.“Fine. I have been feeling more tired lately,”“Have you been drinking the blood bags that I have given you?”I nod.“Lay back and pull up your shirt. The jelly has been warmed so it shouldn’t be cold,” He says squirting it in my lower abdomen. He rubs a wand around my stomach while looking at the monitor and he smiles.“The baby’s heart is fine and strong. Would you like to hear it?”Nodding my head he shows me the screen, the baby’s tiny and looks like a shrimp. He presses a button and the sound of the baby's heartbeat makes me smile.“Your baby is measuring perfectly about eight weeks along. Have you told your parents?”“Not yet,” I shake my head.He pursed his lips.“Ca
My readers I am so sorry I have not updated I have been diagnosed with Lupus and it’s really taking a toll on my body as well as my mind my hands have been hurting so bad I can’t write my doctor is going to start me on treatment on march 27th 2023 and hopefully once that kicks in I’ll be back to normal again I do apologize for any inconvenience and if all goes good I will be back up and writing soon but as of right now I am physically and mentally exhausted and I’m always in pain but I wanted to let you all know what was happening and that I’m not just ignoring you all or the updates I’ll reach out soon With love Bj
The Alpha King’s Cursed Mate.Chapter Twenty-Three.Dominic and Bane stood on guard the whole night—afraid that Charles would find me. The amulet would protect me. I had no doubts, but if it made them feel better I never protested and let them have peace of mind. We ate at some small cafe on the beach. It was delicious and I got the extra thick cheeseburger that I had been wanting. Mama doesn’t like us eating too much red meat so this was a treat that I planned on having again.After that everyone decided on going dancing but I wasn’t up for that being that I’m secretly pregnant and given Dominic's heart condition I didn’t want to put much strain on him so we are walking along the beach.“When should we tell our parents?” I ask Dominic. He hasn’t said much about the baby after I told him so far it’s heart was good. “When, we get home?” That soon? I hadn’t even thought of what I’m going to tell them. Dad is going to be furious and mama won’t be happy either. “I won’t show for a wh
The Alpha King's Cursed Mate.Chapter Twenty-Four.When we arrived home everyone went to unpack. I went to the kitchen thanks to Weston. I didn't finish lunch and I was hungry.“Mija, what can I do for you?” Said Carol.I smile and shake her head. “You know how your father feels about spoiling your dinner,” She taps her fingernails against the counter.I pout and she sighs.“Just something small. I’m preparing your favorite dish,”I nod and smile in appreciation as she hands me two pieces of chicken and I thank her head upstairs.I unpack my suitcase when my door opens and mama comes in.“I’m sorry your trip got cut short,”“It’s okay,”She picks up my purse and smiles.“This is exquisite.”I smile at it and nod my head.“Bane brought it for me,”I sat on the bed and sighed.“Mama, I want to thank you. For everything you papa has done for me. For taking me in and giving me a real family….I hadn’t had one in a very long time,”She smiles softly.“Caliana. We love you so much, your fat
The Aloha King’s Cursed Mate.Chapter Twenty-Five.Today Dominic wanted to talk to me about the oath with Tyson. But I wanted to be alone for a while….to clear my head and think.I’ve been beating myself up lately about this curse and how I have to choose one of these great guys. I’ve been reading my diary’s today and I’ve read them all the way through multiple times and it’s the same thing.How I don’t want to hurt any of my mates….and I’m always the one who gets hurt out of it. I’ve never cared about myself in any of my lives. But this time is different…I have a baby to think about, not just me anymore. My life isn’t the only one at stake here….not anymore.I understand why Brinley and Xander did what they did. Why did they adopt me and arrange that marriage with Tyson…. It wasn’t to hurt me or Dominic and Bane. It was to protect us all from this curse my mother placed on many- many years ago.I love my parents for thinking of me. None of my other parents did, they never cared.I w
The Alpha king’s Cursed Mate.Epilogue.Six Years Later……….Tomorrow is Jasmine's twentieth birthday. It’s hard to believe that after all these years the time is approaching for us to give her away to Cato Mortaga. They’ve stayed friends for all these years and they’ve come to an agreement on how they will run the kingdoms as one.Today we’re meeting at their palace to sign the official document on how they run things. Dominic said he doesn't trust Tyson or son and they don’t want them taking advantage of Jasmine just because she’s a female leader. I don’t want that either.“You have everything ready I presume,” Tyson asked Dominic as the three of us walked into his office.“I do,” Dominic told him and handed him the paperwork.Without reading it Tyson signed it and handed it over to Cato who did the same.Cato slides the paper to Jasmine and she glances at Dominic and he gives her a small nod and she scribbles her name beside Cato’s.“Congratulations,” Tyson shakes both the kid's h
The Alpha king’s Cursed Mate.Chapter Forty-Seven.It’s been two months since our stay at the Mortaga’s mansion. Things were going great with Jasmine and Cato, but Jasmine had an upset stomach and I sent her off to bed that night and a few hours later when I went to check on her she was crying hysterically I tried everything to calm her down but it was no luck she grabbed her chest and said her heart hurt Dominic and I rushed to the hospital and everything came back good. Her heart was fine.Since she hasn’t been the same. She barely talks to anyone she hardly eats. I have to force her out of bed to go school in the mornings and that’s not like her. She loves school and her and Ginger are inseparable but lately she doesn’t talk to Ginger.Something is definitely wrong…..maybe Dominic and I pushed her too far with this whole marriage thing to Cato. I told Dominic she was too young to know about it. Sofia and her big mouth.I sighed.I keep beating my head trying to figure out what we
The Alpha King’s Cursed Mate.Chapter Forty-Six.Today the girls, Dominic and I, are going to visit Mortaga's Ginger even tagged along with us. This was all Jasmine’s idea. She said that her Cato has something they need to discuss before she agrees to do this. She told me that if I was strong enough to overcome my situation then she can overcome hers. I'm so proud of her for making this decision on her own and she decided to fight for what's hers. Yes! She will be losing a mate but she’s going to be the first ever Queen. That’s a big deal all on its own.“Welcome,” Tyson said when we walked into the foyer of his mansion. Dominic shook his hand.“Thanks having us in short notice,”“Always a pleasure,” Tyson replied as he walked over and hugged me with a smile.“I’m sorry for the way our conversation over the phone ended. We hadn’t talked since,” Tyson apologized.“It all worked out in the end I guess,” I told him as he led us into the sitting room.“Where’s Cato?” Jasmine asked.Tys
The Alpha king’s Cursed MateChapter Forty-Five.Dominic says that if we leave Jasmine alone she will come around to the idea of marrying Cato. I haven’t told my girls about me….or about Agatha, or the choices I had to make at seventeen. But I think Jasmine is old enough to know the truth and it might help her understand this situation a little better. I’m not saying she will be happy with what is but it helps her come to terms that we aren’t willingly giving her up to Mortaga’s if we could get her out of this we would.“What’s this girl's time really about mom?” I sighed.“Your father thinks I should let you come around on your own, and he’s right. But I want to tell you about myself.” I tell her and she frowns.“What about you? You're my mom, they end!” She shakes her head and shoves a few fries into her mouth. Jasmine is a beautiful girl. Her black hair is dark as night , her eyes the brightest of blue with a complexion like mine pale white.Jasmine is the only one of our girls t
The Alpha King’s Cursed Mate.Chapter Forty-Four.Eight years later…..It did no good to talk to Tyson; he wouldn't budge on the signing of the merger and with nothing Dominic and I could do we had no choice but to sign our daughters' happy way. Mama even tried to talk to Mark but he was just as bad as Tyson with the whole it’s the kids destiny’s and all kinds of bullshit. Jasmine is fourteen now and Sofia is twelve and Winter is ten. Dominic and I no longer have babies; they're growing so fast. “MOM!” I mentally roll my eyes. One thing about having all girls two years apart from each other? They fight like cats and dogs. “Yes?” I asked as I made my way back into the kitchen at a cabin Dominic and I started renting once a year. It’s close to the lake and the girls get to have fun and we get some time together as a family. “Mom, Sofia is using her phone,” Winter tattles. She was probably just upset because Dominic took her phone when he saw some texts from Amila. The two were plo
The Alpha king’s Cursed Mate.Chapter Forty-Three.Six Years Later…..Today is Jasmine’s sixth birthday party and of course she had to have a princess themed party which Dominic went all out on. He got all the princess Characters balloons, a bounce house for the kids and two sheet cakes…. His excuse for the cakes was that we have so many guests when in reality he plans on saving the cake so he can eat it for a week. Dominic and I had welcomed another daughter two years after Jasmine was born. We named her Sofia. She was born with no heart complications. Anna and Bane had twins, Andy and Amira,who are now three years old. Tyson and Mia had another son they named Cato who’s the same age as Sofia, they haven’t brought up the agreement I’m kinda hoping they don’t. “Cali, Jasmine’s ready to blow out her candles,” Anna says.We all gather around and sing happy birthday to her. She smiles so big as she closes her eyes and blows out the candle. Jasmine’s such a shy and gentle little girl on
The Alpha King’s Cursed Mate.Chapter Forty-Two.It’s been two months since Bane found Jasmine's heart, and today we get to bring her home for the first time. Doctor Jacob said her little body has accepted the heart nicely and she shouldn’t have any more problems. He wants to see her back every six months to check on it to just make sure but he believes she will live a long normal life.I’m so glad that Bane found her heart. It meant so much to me and Dominic. We both decided to treat him and Anna to dinner at a fancy restaurant tonight and show him how thankful we are. I didn’t want to leave the baby so soon after she came home but this was important to Dominic to do this for Bane so I asked mama and papa to watch Jasmine tonight while we take care of this. Even though mama and papa never really seemed interested in my being pregnant they have stood by us the whole time Jasmine was in the hospital they visit everyday.Dominic and I have been so wrapped up in the baby that the subject
The Alpha King's Cursed Mate.Chapter Forty-One.Today I will finally get to hold Jasmine. She's a week old and this will be the first time that I’ve held her arms. According to doctor Jacob the medication that she’s been on isn’t helping and without a heart she won't make it which is why they are letting me and Dominic hold her. She might not make it through the rest of the day. Our family is here surrounding us and supporting us as we hold her and say our goodbyes.How am I supposed to say goodbye to her? I’ve carried her in my stomach for months waiting to hold, raise her and be the best mother that I can be at seventeen. I wasn’t at all ready for this but as months went by and Dominic by side I was ready…I was ready to be her mother and now it’s all ending.Tears flow from my eyes as I was the NicU nurses maneuver her from the incubator the wires that hook on her can’t be taking off when they’ve tried her heart stops beating and I can’t let go…..not before I get the chance to hol
The Alpha King’s Cursed Mate.Chapter Forty.Bane.“Clear,”My heart sank when the on call doctor shook his head. Caliana can’t die not like this…not when things between us have been so bad. Fuck.“She’s pregnant,” I shouted at the nurse beside the doctor and she whispered something to the doctor and he looked up at me then back at Cali.“Get the OR ready,” He tells some man in scrubs and he ran to the nurses station. “Push another round of epie and Charge to 300,” “Ready?” The doctor asks the nurse and she nods.“Clear,”“I got a heartbeat, It’s faint but there. Let’s move,” The doctor says as they push the gurney toward the double doors.“I’m sorry ma’am but you cannot come in,” The red headed nurse tells Brinley.I ran my fingers through my hair when Anna put her arms around me and I broke. I cried in her arms and she comforted me as I fell to my knees. Cali didn’t look good. She had lost so much blood and her heartbeat was faint. What if she….No, I can't think about that right
