Kem-BeeSo, it's Christmas Eve. I think I'm getting a migraine for Christmas. The worse way to spend a holiday is in your bed, sick. The update this week might be slow because writing with a harrowing headache is well, a suicidal mission. Please bear with me. Thank you.

His ears perked at the sound of shoes pattering on the marble floor. He took a whiff of the air and frowned when he pinpoint the scent. His hands balled into fists and one of his eyes turned yellow, showing both the rage of himself and his wolf. He intentionally turned his head towards the window, staring up at the full moon in the sky. He gave a short prayer that the goddess gives him strength. A soft knock on the door made him even angrier. He remained quiet, ignoring who was at the door. After a few more knocks and silence, the door was gently pushed open. He didn't bother saying a word, just kept staring at the moon and mentally repeating the prayer for patience and strength. Clay stared at the back of his son and the amount of sadness and guilt he felt increased. He'd work so hard to raise the boy with love, to give him everything his father didn't give him. Then he ruined it in a moment of desperation. His boy didn't smile often but he always had one for him whenever they met,
The Alpha's Cursed Mate Chapter 78: a little friend
"Sapphire," I groaned, turning on the soft mattress. "Sapphire, wake up," I woke up with a gasp, followed by a painful gong in my head. It felt like I was nailed in the head or smashed with a hammer and passed out. I would know how that feels since I've received a hammer to the head thrice. Some kids can be brutal, you know. More importantly, who called me?I looked around the room but was met with no one. The room was empty and dark. At least, somebody was smart enough to turn off the lights. Huffing, I thought about who could have possibly called me. The voice didn't sound familiar but I was certain it was a man's. Notwithstanding, I wasn't going to let that bother me. I had a feeling I dreamt of something good because even though I had a nasty headache, my heart didn't feel heavy.‘You didn't dream of anything, I simply forced myself out,’ I almost had a heart attack when I heard her voice. It wasn't just because it'd been a while since I heard her speak calmly and in my head, but
The Alpha's Cursed Mate Chapter 79: with time
Left, right, left, right, left, right.I repeated the words over and over again, urging myself to take one foot after the other. Walking wasn't actually my problem. Zinnia's return was a big help to my recovery. My legs felt strong enough to run and I could even jump with them. The problem was my eyes. I had a slight migraine but the dizziness with every step wasn't a joke. I was extremely dizzy, not woozy, just dizzy.It was kind of surprising though. Just the other day, I was in severe pain and it felt like the world was against me. It felt like I was going to die because breathing was a pain in the ass. Now, I didn't feel like the world was going to end on me. I didn't feel that deep pain or bitter resentment. I wasn't consumed by hatred or rage. All I felt was calmness and an urge to heal myself. Of course, I knew I couldn't heal on my own completely, especially with Astra still around and Drix away from me, but I had something that I didn't have the other day; hope and confidence
The Alpha's Cursed Mate Chapter 80: no regrets
Apple sang merrily and swung the baskets, skipping as she walked ahead of us. She was in a good mood… she seems to always be in a good mood. Scarlette was quiet as she carried me. It was a long walk to the garden but they claimed they needed the walk. Since no one but me was allowed close to the garden, they thought it would cut our time together. Apple first started by rambling about her date with Earnest and how fun human amusement parks and cinemas were, then to her first kiss and that's what led to the joyful skipping and singing. Scarlette, on the other hand, never said a word. She was pissed.‘Ms Best Friend, aren't you going to do something about her?’ Zinnia asked mockingly though I couldn't understand why. I looked up at Scarlette's face and stared at her intensely. She was forced to avert her eyes to me with a sigh."I'm not angry, I'm just upset,""Upset enough to pick a fight with Astra?""I love you, Darling, but I wish to live to love my mate as well so no. At least, not
The Alpha's Cursed Mate Chapter 81: a breath of fresh air
I successfully ate something for the first time since my birthday. I ate like a starved beast. I still couldn't believe I ate everything in the baskets. It was like I was trying to make up for the times I didn't eat. It was refreshing but the food was even more refreshing. I'd hoped that Hendrix would sneak in a meal or two he prepared by himself, but unfortunately, there was none. I guess the flower message was enough.I slept off under the gemstone willow after staring up at the warm sun and the beautiful sky. Drix was right about the place. It absorbs emotions and channels positive energy into the giver of the emotions. Immediately I sat down, I felt all the pain and hurt, every doubt and insecurity being sucked out of me and then replaced with lightness and peace. He said I'll always feel better and stronger whenever I leave, and he was right. I could already feel incredibly emotional and mental strength, stronger than I felt when I woke up with Zinnia. It felt like a breath of fr
The Alpha's Cursed Mate Chapter 82: what a surprise
Ah, I still don't know much about this pack. Or rather, I still didn't know all the locations. I didn't know where David stayed so I stood there under the sun, staring at everything and nothing. After standing there for a while, I closed my eyes and reached out to David in my mind.“David? Are you there?”“Oh, Darling, what a surprise,”“I need help locating your house. Taffy told me that your wife asked for lunch with me?” I asked, tapping my foot patiently.He laughed. “Darling, you are a werewolf, you have a nose,”“Oh,” I facepalmed and groaned. How did I forget that? I clicked my tongue and breathed in deeply. David smelt like morning dew and olive oil with a strong base of praline and buttercream. An odd scent to me but I can't do anything about that.I caught a whiff of his scent. It was rather dull so I knew his house must not be close by. Great, more walking for me. Gritting my teeth and hissing, I started the trek to his house. In case I haven't mentioned, the pack is like a
The Alpha's Cursed Mate Chapter 83: maternal relatives
It was starting to seem like fate was scheming something. It had to be it. How then would I have coincidentally fallen in love with the alpha of the pack my father originally came from? And also the pack my mother's older sister was married to? It had to be some kind of scheme. Loretta hadn't been able to say anything since because she was busy crying in David's arms while I watched them in silence. I had no tears left to cry but curiosity to fill. I was back to blaming my mother. I know she didn't want me to know that I was associated with a blood wolf but what the heck! I became a blood wolf so she should have stopped hiding things from me. If she told me everything about herself and my father, a lot of things would have made sense in my life. She used to say that there was nothing to tell or that I'm too young to know such things and it was such a pitiful excuse. I've been smart for as long as I remember, which is technically from the day I was born. I'm not a genius, but I had co
The Alpha's Cursed Mate Chapter 84: meeting the children
In conclusion, today is another good-rough day. It started well with the gemstone garden and ended up complicated with my aunt. Loretta refused to open her mouth and speak after she freaked out like that. I don't know how she expected anyone to forget about it when she clearly panicked back there. She practically told us not to worry about it and forget it and repeated the same thing my mother used to recite. I was to never show anyone, especially if the person is from her birth pack. Again, I wasn't planning to show people my boobs and most of all, I didn't care. You'll think I'd be severely shaken or concerned about that, but it was just what it is, complicated. Compared to the truth of being a blood wolf and dealing with everything on my plate, I didn't feel concerned about learning about another possible trouble. One misfortune and curse is already enough. There's a saying that what you don't know won't kill you and although I believe it's the opposite, I'd pretend that I believe

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

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

"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
