The Cursed Alpha's Mate FIFTY-SIX
I managed to fall asleep in the early hours of the morning but it felt as if I'd just closed my eyes when loud knocking sounded on the door. It took a minute of the knocking intruding into my dreams for me to get the memo to move. Celeste got the door before I fully woke.When I got out of my room, I came face to face with a grave-looking Jabari. The memories I tucked away to sleep came flooding back into my consciousness when I saw him look at me like that."What happened to him?" I asked, swallowing down the lump blocking my throat."We received a call." He paused and I wished he would spit out the words faster. The anxiety was choking me. "We – The Alpha pack, I mean. We are moving." The look on his face was the same one doctors wore to deliver terrible information about their patients."So he isn't coming back?" Celeste demanded, crossing her arms."It doesn't seem like it." He glanced over at me before looking away. "Usually he sets up an administrative before leaving but it look

VALENS'Are we still doing this?' Zino asked for the tenth time that day.'Yes, we are still doing this," I snarled at the mutt.'She is our mate. We have to forgive her,' he piped up but I ignored him. Now more than ever, I wanted to silence the voice in my head.The voice in my head had been my companion since I was a child, had grown and developed with me until my body had the capacity to let it out. Zino and I were best friends and more than best friends, we were one; two parts of a whole.'Are you listening to yourself? She cheated on us.' My wolf went silent at that.Betrayal was not an easy thing to get over and for a man like me, it was downright unforgivable. With the shitty hand I'd been dealt once again, I wanted to curse the goddess. I had so many questions and only she could give me answers but for over a century, she chose to be silent about the betrayal and bad luck I encountered at every turn in my life.I'd prayed and waited for a mate for over a century. Not only did

I asked Jabari to add Skylar and Bethel to Lucien's cell but it turned out no one had seen them all day. I fiddled with the heart-shaped pendant on my throat as a feeling of being overwhelmed washed over me.Celeste had to report back to work for a few hours and Jabari assured me that he would secure the pack until Valens' return. He seemed to have a lot of faith that Valens would return soon. So much that I kept looking out the window expecting to see my mate. That was how assured Jabari made me feel.I looked at my allergy medication and wondered why it wasn't working. If anything, it just made me feel even more tired.Octavia brought me lunch and when she tried and failed numerous times to get me involved in a conversation, she finally left with an empty tray. I was hungry today and not as queasy as usual."I brought some snacks." Celeste came in holding a bag. Whatever was in her bag smelled delicious and I went at it with fervour. Celeste had a big grin on her face when I was don

Five weeks. The doctor confirmed that I was indeed pregnant."Congratulations, you are carrying the next Alpha." She beamed at me and I managed a weak smile in return.What if it wasn't an alpha but an omega?"Are they healthy?" Valens asked the doctor.I wished he was physically present but he couldn't get a flight even after he travelled to the next airport. I wanted to wait for him but he insisted I saw a doctor as soon as possible. He was paranoid something drastic would happen to the baby if I didn't see the doctor. Or maybe he wanted to be sure the pregnancy tests hadn't glitched."Yes, everything looks fine to me," the doctor replied."She has lost a ton of weight. Is that normal?"In truth, I hadn't lost a lot of weight. I did lose weight as I wasn't really eating and I had a lot on my plate this period. I lost weight but not a 'ton' as Valens put it."Some women lose their appetite during the first trimester so a little weight loss is not uncommon but a ton?" The doctor looke

VALENSI was going to be a father. My curse was broken. I don't think I had ever been happier than I was then.When we landed in Redville, I took a deep breath of the stent of the place.When I first arrived, there was no indication that this place would be any different from the others. When my mind set on claiming Redville, it didn't feel any different from all the other times when I seized on an idea.I'd long since adapted to the life of a wanderer. My leaving a pack was as swift and unexpected as my taking over it. My wolf told me he wanted a place and my body itched until I got up and went to take it. I'd repeated that process over forty times so there was nothing special or exhilarating about it.In the early days of my curse, I'd assumed the itch to move, to settle someplace else was a sign. The itch controlled me as I first saw it as a clue. I thought of it as a prompt from the goddess to enter a new land where I would find my mate.I couldn't spend more than three months in
The Cursed Alpha's Mate SIXTY-ONE
There was a crash, turbulence like a rushing wind, and then darkness. After the darkness came a blinding light. I woke up in a hospital room with someone clutching my hands. The room was stifling. The hand holding mine was unwelcome and the light hurt my eyes. I pulled my hand from the ones holding me but they held me tighter. "You are awake." I'd never seen Valens look as relieved as he did then. "Oh, goddess –" He paused and changed the direction of the conversation. "I'll get the doctor." He pressed a button on a strange-looking device, still holding me. A man came in wearing a white coat, a woman in blue scrubs following behind him. They gave me water that wasn't plain water and the doctor checked my vitals. "How do you feel?" He asked as he wrote something down on his file. "Like I got hit by a truck," I answered and I suppose I was right. I did get hit by a truck. Before the darkness, I'd been trying to get out of a car because I suspected the driver and then from nowhere,

I spent a week in the hospital before the doctor declared I was free to go. After the first three days, I already felt good enough to leave the pack hospital but the doctor insisted I had to be monitored and Valens backed him up. "What about Bethel?" I asked when a nurse helped me zip up my dress. I was happy to be finally rid of the ugly hospital gown almost as much as I was happy to be leaving the stale hospital room. It was decorated with flowers and different gifts from my many well-wishers and people Celeste called my 'fans,' but the area around the hospital was depressing and the people that came to see me looked at me as if I'd they were staring at a corpse. A part of me had certainly died but I was tired of the pitiful glances, the silence, the way people tiptoed around me as if I was a volcano waiting to erupt. "He – ah – " Valens paused, watching me as if thinking of whether or not he had to lie to me. "You can tell me if he's dead." I didn't care for Bethel but people a

"Are you hungry?" Valens asked when we got to the penthouse. It was exactly how I left it before going to the hospital. It felt so surreal to know that some things remained the same while my life had changed forever. "No," I answered Valens' question, getting into bed. I burrowed my face into a pillow and closed my eyes, blocking out everything. "Turn off the lights," I muttered. "All of them," I added when he left one light on. He turned it off and the place became pitch black. "You should have lunch before you sleep off." "I am not sleeping off," I muttered, turning my face. "Okay." There was silence after that but it didn't last as long as I would like. "Do you need anything?" I needed him to leave me alone but I wouldn't say that. "Who trained you?" I raised my head from the pillow. "In combat, that is.""The head of my father's knights. Why do you ask?" He perched on the bed and I got the wild feeling that he was afraid of me. No, he was uncertain. Not afraid. "Was he curs
