The Alpha's Cursed Mate Chapter 54: the price of love
The fire crackled as it burnt fiercely in the chimney. He didn't need the heat of the fireplace to warm himself. The cold did not bother him. The curtains fluttered as the wind continued to play and the window shuttered lightly. The breeze was particularly disturbing but he couldn't be too bothered by it, not now.He flipped through the pages of the folder in his hands, staring at it with confusion and surprise. The grey large tufted wingback armchair he sat on almost swallowed his body, but he managed to remain sophisticated despite the appearance of his body in the huge chair. His full attention was on the folder and one could tell he was not just confused by what he was seeing, but also in disbelief and curiosity.He looked up from the folder when he felt someone else walk into the room. It was his father's study and no one except the two of them were allowed inside without permission. He didn't need to see that it was his father who entered to know, he knew but looked up anyway to

‘Hendrix! Sapphire has left the main boundary of the pack. Follow her!’ Alaric's only words before I felt it myself and took off. She was running away, she was going to leave and I didn't plan to allow that to happen.I thought she would stay and only hate me for a while then start liking me again. She's been quiet for three days and I thought it would be okay, one way or the other, but she was already leaving. I needed to find her and chain her down if I have to. I never planned to let her go whether she liked it or not.Everett and Cooper were quick to run after me when I suddenly took off and soon, I heard Manchester's wolf howling. He must have felt it too and alerted all the Guard-Gifted. Now it was a chase to capture our luna. She'd have to forgive me. She has to forgive me. She can't leave.“Alpha, she's heading to Ðela Dzĩ!!!” Manchester shouted over the link. My heart sank to my stomach when I heard the name. Ðela Dzĩ was an enchanted but disastrous waterfall. The water from

Scarlette stared at the empty cliff where her friend stood, her heart pounding and cold sweat breaking out of her skin. It was rare for her body to go through perspiration as she is always cool inside. She only sweats when in an intense battle or when she suffers from horrific shock. She's only ever suffered from horrific shock a few times and this was one of them.For the past few days, she had been feeling guilty and depressed because of her friend and she didn't know why. Scarlette was certain that Sapphire did not want a mate because she was afraid. She never truly understood why Sapphire feared shifting in front of everyone and thought it had something to do with her true rank. Scarlette thought that maybe she didn't want her alpha to find out that she is also an alpha and that her wolf is some kind of rare type that other alphas envied. She never imagined the true horror behind her secret that she discovered only a few minutes ago.Scarlette was burdened by her friend's reaction

Young Sapphire hummed as she trimmed the hem of her skirt, occasionally stroking her chin and nodding when she did it right. She was well aware of her mother's intense gaze but didn't want to bother herself. If her mother wanted to speak, she'd speak without hesitation. And as long as her mother doesn't speak on her own accord, she won't be able to get anything out of her. Sapphire knew that fact very well.She continued her work and when she was done, she held the skirt out to the sun with a proud smile on her face. Lobelia sighed, grabbing Sapphire's attention again. She rolled her eyes and rolled the skirt up. "You know, Mother, you can speak if you wish to. If you keep sighing like that, you'll only annoy me," Lobelia sneered at her daughter. She didn't like her sass."Well sorry if I was trying to be considerate about telling you what's on my mind," she retorted childishly."Oh, do tell, my considerate and compassionate mother," Sapphire teased, then giggled. Lobelia tried to mai

‘Holy crap! I'm alive!’ Zinnia's voice echoed in my head, painfully. The blankness of my vision quickly filled up with the image of the space she stays in. She was free from her prison and I didn't let her out. She must have found a way out. Wait, how come she's still alive? Zinnia hopped and strutted as if flexing her muscles. Her tail swished vigorously, her tongue swinging in the air as she tasted the imaginary air. I sighed and tossed. Wait, I can feel my body? ‘You sure can! We are alive!’ ‘Why?’ I asked coldly. ‘Scarlette, Persephone,’ were the only words she said and the memory of the goddess returned to me in a rush. I couldn't believe it. I met Persephone and she sent me back. She mentioned that Mum made a deal with her. What kind of deal? What can a mortal offer a goddess? No, what can my mother offer a goddess and why did she agree? Was it her life? No, if Persephone wanted her life, she didn't need to make a deal to take it. In that case, then what? How did my mother man

I stared at the woman with my eyes as wide as a saucer. What she said kept resonating in my head. The blood wolf is not a curse to those around them? How is that possible when it has been proven that the people they meet and care about, or don't even care about, die tragic deaths once the curse is activated? I knew that couldn't be true because Mum told me herself. My father was a blood wolf. Mum never confirmed it but I knew. She never told me how he died but I'm sure he must have done what I tried to do so Mum would live. That itself proves that we are bad luck to everyone. "You must be trying to justify what you were told, am I correct?" She asked, brushing her hair with her fingers as she sat on a chair made out of some kind of coloured rock. Cordelia crossed her legs and relaxed on the chair like the world was waiting for her. She didn't look perturbed at the very least. "How is it a curse to me and not them?" "I'm not sure but somewhere along your lineage, one of them used a b

____Scarlette and I stood at the bank of the river we ended up at. We were not drenched thanks to her but we didn't know where we were either. I was cold though but she wasn't. Of course, she won't be cold, she's a damn sea creature. Scarlette cut her palm and squeezed the injured hand. A drop of blood fell into the river and she stepped back, making me step back too. The water started whirling and in a few minutes, a huge whirlpool was right before us."Scar, what is that for?""Just trust me and jump in. I can't jump in after you so take my hand," I looked at the whirlpool and then back at her with an awkward smile plastered on my face. She chuckled. "Trust me, it'll be fine," she giggled, taking my hand and clasping our fingers together. I reluctantly followed her to the edge and then clung to her. "It'll feel like jumping into a hole at first, then being vomited out of a monster's

– Les Dawson____I always used to think her father was the bad one since she never spoke about him. She barely talked about her Mum but she never spoke about her dad. There might have been a reason and from what I was understanding by watching them hug and shower kisses on each other, she didn't have enough words to describe how much she is loved."Hey," I looked down at the boy. He was staring at me with inquisitive eyes and a pout. One of his eyes had turned red like his mother's. It was fascinating. "Are you Sapphire?" I stared at him with surprise. He grinned. "Scarlette always talks about the girl with sapphire and stardust gemstone for eyes," he explained, then turned around and waved his hands in the air. "Mummy, look! It's Sapphire!" He pointed at me.The woman who had been watching her husband and Scarlette snapped her neck around and if she wasn't a vampire, I would have feared that she hurt herself. Her red eyes shon

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
