The Alpha's Cursed Mate Chapter 190: the cave
I've never liked stairs but it never bothered me until now. The fool who designed the staircase was a maniac. By the time I reached the bottom, I fell flat on my face not caring if I was eating dirt or not. Unlike me, Scarlette still had enough strength to climb down though she was severely weakened. She sat at the last stair, her hands behind her legs and with a heaving chest and puffy breath. We were covered in sweat and my muscles hurt."We should have stayed up there or settled halfway," Scarlette gritted, then groaned and held her stomach. "It hurts," I moved my face away from the ground and looked at her with concern. She shook her head. "I'm fine. My babies are stronger than this but pain is inevitable," she blew out air and threw her head back, leaning on her arms. "And get yourself off the ground,"I folded my arms and put my head on my folded arms. I looked down at the ground, listening to the sound of my heartbeat and our heavy breaths. I closed my eyes along the way, tryin
The Alpha's Cursed Mate Chapter 191: no coincidence
I looked at Scarlette with an expressionless face. What we discovered was just a piece of a large puzzle, I could tell that much, and I couldn't be surprised by what Liviana did. It was no different from what humans and paranormals did. They'll do anything to get what they want. Everyone is selfish and has greed living inside of them, and I couldn't judge solely on such little information.I sighed and sat on the ground, lowering my head sadly with my hands between my raised knees. "Women sure are desperate," Scarlette said, walking over to me. "She killed her friend to seize her husband and went scot-free,"I chuckled. "I doubt that. I'm sitting right here probably facing the punishment for what she did. By the way, the priest acted, I'm pretty sure now that Selene placed a curse on her and her generation. Why would she suffer the innocent descendant for something her useless granddaughter did? She should have considered that they did nothing and it was all her granddaughter's idea,
The Alpha's Cursed Mate Chapter 192: be a little considerate
Drix crumbled to his knees, dragging me down with him. I held him tightly to myself, patting his back and the back of his head to console him. His body shook terribly as he cried with his face buried in my shoulder and his back painfully bent to meet my height. The amount of anguish pouring into me from the mate bond forced me to tears too. I didn't mean to put him through that again."I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't know," I kept whispering unconsciously. I didn't know entering that place would temporarily halt my existence. I would have told him if I knew."Why do you keep doing this to me? Why?!""I'm sorry," I said consciously, "I didn't mean to. I saw my father—I think—and he took Scarlette and me somewhere. We didn't know what would happen, I'm sorry,""Hello… Yes, it's me, Scarlette. Please where is Cooper?… I know and that's why I'm calling…" I heard Scarlette anxiously saying. I stopped paying attention to her and focused on overwhelming him with my love and my presence throug
The Alpha's Cursed Mate Chapter 193: The Storm
Sometimes, your instinct warns you strongly against danger or a wrong decision and most of the time, we're unable to pinpoint the direction of the warning or ignore it, leaving us vulnerable to death or trouble. It's like the calm before the storm or a sudden rainstorm. I felt a dreadful calm as we were returning home. I couldn't pinpoint it. I couldn't tell where the signal was going off from. My entire being was on alert and permanent goosebumps held tightly to my skin. My eyes felt misty and my heart raged in my chest.Something was wrong somewhere or something bad was about to happen.Drix cast me a glance, his worry bold on his face. I couldn't shake it off. The alarm was going off in my head. My instincts were sending out a red flag that there was danger in the air. “Get your ass back to the pack and protect it,” the red sign kept screaming in my head. It was the same dread I faced when my mother told me she was leaving.My heart was killing me and my anxiety quickened our retur
The Alpha's Cursed Mate Chapter 194: one-sided war
Sapphire remained on her knees, her eyes wide open with horror and her lips far apart. She felt a lot of things shattering inside her and new things connecting as she looked at the dismantled body of the man she loved like a father. A loud gong repeatedly went off in her head and it felt like her heart was ripped out of her chest.Her mind was blank, unable to accept the truth staring at her in the face and as if time had stopped, she staggered to her feet, her eyes and mouth still widened with horror. The battle went on around her as many guard-gifted tried to protect her from the attacks, using their bodies and giving their lives. Her legs were weak and numb, she felt the numbness in her spine. Still, she clawed her way over to the body, dragging her injured knees on the ground.Though her mind was blank, it knew the true horror of what had happened and it was slowly accepting it. The closer she got to the body, the more she felt her blood boil rapidly. It wasn't a figurative speech
The Alpha's Cursed Mate Chapter 195: Persephone's blessing
It was quiet.I kept my eyes on the single ray of dark blue light shining down on me, in a vast ocean. I couldn't tell what was going on or how I ended up there, but I knew I'd been floating in the middle of a large body of water, looking up at the blue ray lighting only the area around me. My mind told me it was an ocean, but that was simply all there was to it. I felt in total serenity and I also felt spiritless and emotionless. I couldn't bring myself to think about who I was or what I was doing in there, and I knew that the only thing stopping me from thinking was myself.People drown in water when they stay in there for too long, but I wasn't, which means the water was an illusion. I already figured that out a while ago but I still couldn't bring myself to dare break free. I was holding myself back from remembering."Young one, how long do you intend to hide here?" A voice echoed in the ocean, creating bubbles around me. Is it the voice? Is it the force? Or is it the person who o
The Alpha's Cursed Mate Chapter 196: he did his duty
I roughly weaved my hair into two fish braids, sitting in front of my vanity table. I woke up unbeknownst to anyone, including Drix. I had only three destinations in mind and I knew if Drix learned of my consciousness first, he would stop me from going out.Zinnia nudged at my mind, urging me to respond to her like she had been doing since I woke up. She was apologetic and guilty but I still felt anger towards the decision she made and sadness for who I lost. I held both braids up and removed the rubber band from my teeth to tie them together. Zinnia nudged at me again.When I woke up, I thought I'd cry myself into a stupor but I only cried in the shower. It felt like I only cried my eyes out in my sleep or during the period I was out of my mind. I still felt pain but I was dry of tears.‘Sapphire, please?’ she whimpered, swishing her tail. I looked at the calendar and sighed. I'd been unconscious for days as usual. Drix must have been dealing heavily with the aftermath of the mess I
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

The Alpha's Cursed Mate Chapter 205: success!
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
