The Alpha's Cursed Mate Chapter 105: Pleasant morning
Celebrate good times, come on!That's how I felt dressing up that morning. It'd been two days since the incident with Astra but I still felt on top of the world. Why wouldn't I? Words of my accomplishment spread around the pack and the way the pack members looked at me changed. I would hear whispers about how little I was but how I'm not to be messed with. It felt like the pack was giving me more respect than I deserved just because I dealt with Astra lightly.At first, I thought they would be angry and anxious that the fear of me being a threat was coming true, but to my surprise, they were pleased instead. I started to see that the pack members were tired of being maltreated and wanted to get rid of Astra at the cost of their lives. The only person who didn't see it that way was Hendrix.The children invited me to the weekly feast. Once every week, the pack takes out a day to eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner together. It wasn't necessary to show up, but it was a chance to strengthen
The Alpha's Cursed Mate Chapter 106: Blackout
The atmosphere was still vibrant and cool. It made the meal more refreshing. After eating my fill, Apple dropped a plate of strawberry tarts on my table and a berry smoothie. My mouth watered at the scrumptious-looking dessert. I was about to dig in when Scarlette snatched my plate and smoothie. My eyes widened and I jumped to my feet, ready to snatch it back but she passed it over to Gillian who then passed it over to Cooper. The damn Beta spat on my tarts and licked the smoothie cap and straw."Why?!" I cried out with dismay."Babe, I know werewolves burn calories and all but Jesus Christ, take it easy with the eating," Scarlette said with an expression of displeasure. "And stop feeding her so much food, Apple. You two as well," she pointed at Grandma and Brie. They stared at her with confusion."Why can't I eat? I love food,""It's good for her body." Alessandro's mate, Penelope, chipped in.I nodded in agreement. Scarlette smacked the side of my head. "Stop nodding and agreeing,"
The Alpha's Cursed Mate Chapter 107: The Forgotten Information
"You're late," I said coldly, staring intensely at Cooper. He smiled and shrugged, throwing his hand around his mate's shoulders. Scarlette looked at me glumly and tutted. She still despises me. I expected her to walk into my office after the day she threatened me and throw more threats, but she never showed her face again. She did her job diligently as a Beta Female, never complained, never said anything nasty but didn't talk to me directly either. She conversed with me through Cooper and Everett, and I was glad it was so.She rolled her eyes when I refused to look away from her disdainful gaze. "I'm not carrying on with my threat if that's what you're worried about,""Is that a promise?""It's sarcasm," she deadpanned. I pressed my lips into a thin line and nodded. I'd already exhausted the deadline. She exhaled through her nostrils and rubbed the back of her head. "She's happy and doing what she wishes. I want her to be happy so taking her away would be too cruel. I can't bear that
The Alpha's Cursed Mate Chapter 108: dashed hope
The wind whooshed against my ears and body, blowing my hair and dress array. It carried the fragrance of the flowers growing all over the meadow. The sun was warm, like a cosy blanket on a cold night. That fuzzy and safe feeling it gives.I hugged my body as the wind blew again, a bit more aggressive than the last. Some strands of hair got into my eye. I groaned and carefully picked them out. I felt a presence behind me so I looked over my shoulder and my lips curved into a smile. It was a man with beautiful cadmium red and curly hair. His luscious curl stuck to his forehead and his smile gave his face the perfect gleam. His Spanish red eyes glimmered as they stared at me as if I were the most precious flower standing in the middle of the meadow.I couldn't remember who the man was but I knew him, I felt safe with him. With him, I felt as if I could conquer the world. He was the reason my heart pounded. The reason for the smile on my face. The reason I could look forward to tomorrow a
The Alpha's Cursed Mate Chapter 109: Pitiful Pain
My ears rang as I rolled on the ground. My hands desperately tried to cover my ears but it was no use. My head started to throb again. Astra caught everyone off guard. We let our guard down again.I cried out when I felt a kick in my stomach, a powerful kick that sent me flying back and colliding with a pillar. I let out another cry as my back made contact with the pillar. The pillar cracked from the impact and my bones were bruised. I wasn't given time to recover, her foot came down on my face. Zinnia snarled and tried to resurface as the scream shocked her back earlier. I held back control. I couldn't fight her. It was a sense of rationality coming to me in my weakened moment. If Hendrix didn't hurt or send her away after what she did to me, why should I be the one to take the initiative? I would only end up getting scolded."Tell me, who's stronger now?! Answer me!!!" She screamed continuously slamming her foot on my face. Scarlette's and Apple's scents enriched my nostrils. Tears
The Alpha's Cursed Mate Chapter 110: chilling under the stars
What's worse than death is living and what's worse than living is death. The nonsensical thought reverberated in my head as I stared up at the small stars scattered in the night sky. My hand rested on my stomach and the other supported my head as a pillow. My legs draped down the side of the roof but I wasn't afraid of falling. My mind might have been racing with nonsensical thoughts, but being up there was peaceful.I was on the roof of Gillian's house. After making sure Khloe was okay, I left her in Scarlette's care and followed Gillian home. I just wanted to be alone. Apple dozed off after crying and Earnest took her home. I wasn't too sure how Scarlette was doing but I knew she was in the same shape as I was. We were both silently swallowing the pain and concluded that it was best to let it go. Bothering others with our problems was of no use and even though we knew we had each other, talking about it changed nothing. That was also why I left with Gillian, he understood that as we
The Alpha's Cursed Mate Chapter 111: I missed you
My heart thumped in my chest, causing cold sweat to break out on my skin. My head felt light all of a sudden and the fatigue I was feeling a few seconds ago was nowhere to be seen. My throat felt parched and my hands trembled with nervousness. I stood in front of my bedroom door, staring at the dark orange object anxiously.He was just behind it.One push and the wall between us would fall.I wasn't sure if I was ready to meet him. No, I've been dying to meet him but now that I knew he was there to see me, I was nervous. At first, I thought he came to speak to Grandma, but his scent led me to my room. I was certain then that he finally decided to man up and face me, but I was nervous. I didn't know how I'd act in front of him. Tears were definitely involved as my face was already soaked with that. Would I scream at him? Would I kick him out or hug him tight and complain about everything? Would I just stare in a daze or ignore him? I wasn't sure what my reaction would be until I saw hi
The Alpha's Cursed Mate Chapter 112: a message in the dream
"Somewhere over the rainbow skies are blueAnd the dreams that you dare to dream really do come trueSomeday I'll wish upon a starAnd wake up where the clouds are far behind meWhere troubles melt like lemon dropsAway above the chimney topsThat's where you'll find me…" the song filled my ears as I walked along the forest, my hands comfy in my emerald A-line coat. I kicked some little rocks while I walked. I had my headphones on as well.I woke up alone in my bed. Hendrix must have left during the night or the early hours of the morning. I thought that I had a dream, a very strange dream that made me wake up in tears. I couldn't remember the dream but for some reason, it felt as though someone was trying to reach out to me and that someone was a loved one. I couldn't be sure and the feeling made me sad, so before Grandma woke up, I snuck out of the house and went for a walk. I didn't have a particular destination in mind, but it was fine. I allowed my instinct to lead me.I found th

Gillian returned from the mission and was extremely enthusiastic. He lifted me and spun me around, causing me to squeal with excitement and surprise. He put me down after three amazing spins and hugged me so tightly I saw stars.Drix snarled and the next second, I was snatched away from Gillian and he narrowly missed a claw slap. Gillian jumped back, raising his hands in surrender. "Whoa, calm down. I'm only hugging my friend,""You're registering yourself for a beating," out of nowhere, a scrawny girl with unkempt hair jumped in front of Gil, spreading her hands wide and creating a shield with her body. That startled Drix and me, and we looked at her confused."Stay away from Charming or I'll bite you!" The girl was probably my age or older and had a death wish growling at an alpha. She also smelled like… she didn't smell like a werewolf. I'd never perceived anything like her before, but again, she was a victim of a sick experiment. Still, there were a few reasons why a girl or anyon
The Alpha's Cursed Mate Chapter 204: extra prepared
I pressed the suitcase hard with my weight and managed to click the lock. I sighed as I stood up straight, putting my fist on the side of my waist and wiping the sweat out of my forehead with my other hand. "Phew!" That'll be all for shoes. Now what else am I missing?I looked around, calculating everything I packed and what else I needed. Hendrix sighed for the umpteenth time. He claimed I was overdoing the packing but he didn't understand. This vacation was important to me. A girl can't be too prepared. I need to make sure I have everything and anything. "We can just buy whatever you need if you end up missing something. We'll only be staying there for a week, Sapphire. You've packed more than enough,""We might stay longer and Scarlette and I are going to explore. We already have our bucket list, and Vecoria has hers too. I'm in charge of making sure we have everything ready– hmm, what else have I not packed yet?" I mused thoughtfully, completely forgetting that I was talking to so
The Alpha's Cursed Mate Chapter 203: worth it
"So it's not like I'm getting my powers back but someone like you," she nodded. "What use will that be?" I asked as the chains fell off."Zircon has been sleeping for too long, milady, please wake him up." I rubbed my wrist. "He knows a lot about curses so he'll know how to destroy the sword," "I still don't see the use," I grumbled.‘Oh fucking hell! Why are you so unnecessarily stubborn?!’ I froze. I blinked once, then twice, and more times. I was hearing things. I thought I was losing my mind. ‘You're not, bitch! I'm back!’I looked at Vecoria in complete shock, my jaw already hitting the ground. I was shocked out of my wit but one thing was for sure, I thought I was going crazy. I had to be going crazy because there was no other explanation as to why I could hear Zinnia's voice in my head. She died.‘I died as a curse, but Selene finally did something useful with herself and brought me back as a real wolf, sort of,’I fell on my butt, too shocked to remain standing. Vecoria panic
The Alpha's Cursed Mate Chapter 202: empty
I've never imagined my life without Zinnia. I'd gotten so used to her that I couldn't remember how it felt without her. I was reminded the hard way. I could feel the emptiness in my head the moment I opened my eyes. I felt naked and alone. The silence in my head left an incessant ringing in my ears and my mind was just there, empty.The intense feeling of emptiness devoured me so much that even when I noticed the shackles on my hands and legs and realised that I was in an unfamiliar surrounding, I couldn't care less. I was so nonchalant and unperturbed, but all I could do was sit down with my knees to my chest and stare into space. Zinnia was gone and I was alone in a dungeon, unaware of who my abductors were.I hadn't come in contact with anyone since I was locked away. My food was given to me through the doggy hole twice every day but water came once a day. I no longer had a wolf, I no longer had the powers of a blood wolf or a werewolf. I was just a luna with a barrier and healing
The Alpha's Cursed Mate Chapter 201: a hard decision
‘This is useless,’ Alaric said flatly as I flimsily held up the last book with a slight knowledge of Selene's offspring. Just like the rest, it only had information about things we already know. No artefacts, no books, nothing. What is the use of coming here?Jerry sighed and tossed away the book in his hand. "What a waste of time,""Tell me about it. Let's just leave, it's useless at this point," Gil grumbled. "Not even the slightest clue about any of her children who laid a curse or anything that gives a hint of it. We could be missing something—""We are not, I would know," I said firmly, dropping the hard book on the table.‘I feel weird,’ Alaric said with a whimper, scratching at the barrier of my mind. We've felt that way from the moment we stepped into the temple. Alaric had it worse. ‘Drix walk out of the library and turn right, then left, and right again,’‘Feel something?’ I asked, rising from my seat.‘A hunch,’ I gestured to Gillian t
The Alpha's Cursed Mate Chapter 200: talk to her
Chills ran up and down my spine, making me constantly shiver. Hugging my body did not help. I walked out of the tree, completely horrified. The reason why Zinnia knew so much, the reason why she was so different was because she was the soul of the curse Deianira created. I was petrified by it. I had most of the important memories from my life as Milena which consisted mostly of my time with Dad, a few times with my subordinates, and the time I spent finding an end to the curse. Most of my memories were of me as Sapphire.Sapphire is more human than Milena, and humans feel more emotions, they are vulnerable to pain. Sapphire had more attachment with many, unlike Milena whose world only revolved around Sapphire's father. The point was that I grew up with Zinnia. She wasn't just my wolf, she was a bigger part of my soul and I just learned that to end the long-lasting suffering, I needed to kill her. It was basically telling me to murder my sister, mother, friend, and child.I would have
The Alpha's Cursed Mate Chapter 199: the soul of the curse
I wiped off sweat from my forehead as I walked out of the room to find Scarlette. A lot of my memories were still missing and I knew exactly where I could get them. “Scarlette, where are you?”“The garden outside. There's something strange about it,” that was where I was going. I broke into a run. Finding my way was easier because I knew every corner of this castle. I stayed in it alone for years. One thing I now remember, the willow tree in Drix's garden is a fragment of the mother tree in my mother's gemstone garden. Then the pixie who happened to have been in danger must not have been a coincidence. She intentionally appeared there to create the gemstone garden already knowing I'd arrive someday.The original was far more magnificent than the copy. The garden was more like a forest, comparable to Brasher but bigger. Then she named the centre a garden. Different trees made of different gemstones and minerals stood firmly, with bushes, flowers, and other ground crops also made out of
The Alpha's Cursed Mate Chapter 198: Milena
My heart felt strange. There was a sense of familiarity to the castle and my heart didn't feel well about it. It felt bitter. Just like the cave, the walls were filled with pictures of Hiems, the person he was before he reincarnated. But unlike Liviana's, the pictures were decent and passionate, and a woman was with him in some of the pictures.The first time I saw her, I halted and stared at her with hatred. I couldn't tell why I felt that way but I've never felt the capacity of hatred as I felt for her. She had long sleek back hair that looked exactly like a moonless night with stars scattered all over the sky. Her eyes were more like galactic starry night than the galaxy itself. It was beautiful—she was beautiful. She had plump red lips and porcelain skin, a smile that could break wars or create them. She was a real beauty but instead of admiring her, I despised her.Hiems, on the other hand, was a tall man with golden yellow hair and sapphire eyes. His body status was similar to m
The Alpha's Cursed Mate Chapter 197: Edwin Strife
Kira opened a portal and it took us to a library. I found myself standing between two tall shelves. Certainly, we were trespassing because we didn't get permission to enter. Zinnia already gave me back my body but she kept her presence dominant.Kira began walking and I followed her. "Where are we?""Library of Congress,""Library of what?!" I screamed. She threw me a glare over her shoulder. I pressed my hand on my lips and looked at her apologetically. She returned her gaze straight ahead. She was wearing fluffy slippers so the sound of her feet was almost silent. I walked silently despite the shoes I had on. She walked urgently as if she was afraid something would catch up to her."How did you find him so easily? And how did Zinnia contact you?""You seem to still be ignorant of the kind of powers your wolf possesses," she took a turn. I increased my pace to catch up with her. "You know, I haven't had sex for months,""What brought that on?""Just saying," she shrugged, looking aro
