The Alpha's Cursed Mate Chapter 41: Regret
“Life is about choices. Some we regret, some we're proud of. Some will haunt us forever. 'Black Rain' was very much about choices. The message - we are what we chose to be.”____"There you go, Child, my famous turkey and sweet potato chilli, chilli chicken soup bowl, pork rib curry, and a chocolate eclair for dessert. Oh yes! Let's not forget the spicy watermelon tomato salad." I looked at the meals she laid before me and then looked at her with my mouth open. I couldn't believe she went from getting me something to drink to bringing over her entire kitchen."Mama! I thought you were getting her water?!" Hendrix exclaimed with disbelief. "You practically brought out all the spicy food in your kitchen!""She needs to eat properly,""She lives with Brie. That's pretty self-explanatory. The both of you are going to stuff her with too much food. And these are too spicy," Drix complained, but my eyes were already fixed on the pork rib curry. I quietly and sneakily picked up
The Alpha's Cursed Mate Chapter 42: lost
It was night in the winter forest, there was only silence. It felt as though all living things had receded to their slumber; a deep slumber. The dark sky stretched out above the white forest, billions of stars lustre in the sky next to the dazzling moon. Despite the coldness of the land below, they showed off their beauty brilliantly. Like a luxurious and fine black fabric engraved with shimmering diamonds and sparkle dust.The woman stared at the sky lost in thought. Its beauty wasn't enough to ease her anxiety, just enough to give her patience and steady the thumping of her heart. She wanted nothing more than to return to her bed and cuddle her pillows, then cry herself to sleep, but she couldn't, not when she had everything to lose. This was her only chance, a lifetime opportunity she couldn't miss, even if it'll kill her.She exhaled through her nostrils as the sound of feet gently pattering on the snow reached her ears. She removed her hand from the tree and turned around, her sa
The Alpha's Cursed Mate Chapter 43: you'll never be alone
I found myself huddled up on my bed after a long, cold shower. I stared sullenly at the wisteria and aster-printed duvet, absentmindedly. I wasn't weeping anymore, I was simply sad and depressed. My heart was heavy and there was a thick lump in my throat. I hadn't seen or heard from Drix for over three hours and it increased my sadness and at the same time, I was glad. I didn't think I could handle seeing him for now. I just wanted to be alone until I could convince myself that I'm okay.Zinnia left me a long time ago having failed to convince me. I was emotionally, physically and mentally drained. It was already a few minutes past six in the evening. I ruined my date so I ended up back home early, another reason for me to feel like shit. I sighed and placed my cheek on my knee, stretching my hand out and then bending it so I could play with my hair while my other hand traced the design on the flat sheet. I couldn't sleep and I hadn't eaten lunch. I couldn't eat during the date and I
The Alpha's Cursed Mate Chapter 44: champagne, caviar and kisses
You are, to me, as good as apple pieAs summer in Hawaii, as stars up in the skyYour love fits me, like my designer jeansLike flowers in the Spring, like a movie on the screenCause you and I are an itemNothing can break us, nothing can make us fall apartWe're forever mated like champagne and caviar_____I wished I could vanish into thin air or get swallowed up by the floor but I changed my mind when he walked into his home cinema. The room was astounding; breathtaking even. It was hard to identify the colour of the walls due to the lighting but I could see that the edge of the walls; up, down, and sides, had a light blue lightning lining them like a picture frame. The galaxy ceiling gave the room an out-of-this-world look and hid the colours of the walls, along with the blackout curtains.The floor was padded with faux and cotton and the sofa was a pretty fancy silver reclining sectional sofa made out of Italian leather. I could tell immediately because Emma ha
The Alpha's Cursed Mate Chapter 45: wariness
Sapphire blinked her blue eyes slowly, her forehead puckered and her lips pinned and lopsided. Her mother combed her moisturised hair slowly, humming a love song to herself and tapping her foot to the rhythm of the song. She wasn't paying attention to her daughter that much because if she was, she would have noticed the expression on Sapphire's face, her signature I-saw/heard-something-I'm-curious about-so-I-need-answers look.Sapphire glanced at her mother through the vanity mirror and frowned deeply. She wasn't pleased by the fact that her mother wasn't getting the hint. She blew some strands of hair out of her face and then let out her signature sigh. Now that her mother was quick to notice. She smiled as she looked at her daughter, catching the smirk on her face before it disappeared behind her simulated curious lip pout."Cunning little thing," Lobelia thought. She dropped the comb to weave Sapphire's hair. "What is my little Sherlock Holmes curious about this time?""It's nothin
The Alpha's Cursed Mate Chapter 46: trouble
Trouble!Trouble!Trouble!Trouble!My mind recited over and over again, behind my hazy brain. I couldn't string together a proper sentence and nothing else was ringing in my head except that. Hendrix… or rather, let me say his wolf, Alaric, who was in control of his body, started working his kisses along my jaw and to my cheek. His lips felt hotter and wetter for some reason, or maybe it was my body heat increasing.I tried to speak but my voice was caught up in my throat and I didn't know what to say because my head was still cloudy. I started to fight to clear the fog but then he pressed his lips on mine and it felt like he pushed my senses back into the haze.His lips moved speedily and hungrily along mine, giving me no other choice than to keep up with him or get drowned. My body was not my own at the moment as my hands left the counter and encircled his neck. I pulled him closer, pushing my chest into his and standing on the very tip of my toes to be tall enough to endure keepin
The Alpha's Cursed Mate Chapter 47: trouble – Happy fucking birthday to me
I'm going to be raped!Alaric brought his head down to the crook of my neck, inhaling my scent pleasurably while I quivered with fear. Who do I call for help? Since Hendrix shared his blood, I was already part of the pack but a shifter with no beast cannot access the pack link. He or she can only receive messages but never send them. If I send an SOS… no, the main problem was that I couldn't access the link, Zinnia was asleep and even if she wasn't, Alaric would sense her immediately.Does that matter more in this situation? Yes, more than anything else."You are mine," he whispered with authority before placing small kisses all over my neck. To be more precise, all around my sensitive spot.Somehow, the pleasure managed to slip past the dread, leaving me in a state between horror and pleasure. Still, I needed to do something, anything to save myself. "Alaric," I sobbed, "you're hurting me," that went right over his head and the next minute, I was yelping as I fell back on the bed, hi
The Alpha's Cursed Mate Chapter 48: it's my fault
The agonising ticking of my wall clock echoed in the room but the sound of my beating heart tortured me more. I hated that sound the most. I despised the air that went into my body and came out. I hated the sun for being so meek. It should have burnt me to a crisp. My heart should have stopped already but it was revived.I slowly and grudgingly opened my eyes, meeting the white ceiling and the warm pink lights. I hated how warm it was. I hated everything. "He's awake! He's okay!" I turned my head sideways and looked at the person shrieking. It was easy to conclude that the person was Brie.Brie gingerly lifted my head and sat down, placing my head on top of her thighs. "Hey, how do you feel?" She asked softly."Why am I still breathing?" I heard her heart skip but that wasn't my problem. I remember waking up an hour after they knocked me out and fed myself with different kinds of toxins. How was I still unharmed? "Who saved me?" I barked."Hendrix, calm down—""Calm down?" I laughed,

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
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
