The Cursed Alpha's Mate FIFTY-EIGHT
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

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

"The renovations have just been completed. It has nine rooms and a pool." She shook with excitement as she showed us the house. From my reaction, she could tell I was impressed and we were very likely going to take it. It was everything we asked for. The first house we saw was nice but it just wasn't big enough for what I wanted. It was in a gated community with similar-looking houses. I frowned the minute we drove past the gates. Everything went to shit when Valens found an unassuming spot. He poked at it a bit and uncovered rotten wood. The caretaker looked stunned, ashamed and terrified all at once when we left."The renovators added a nice movie theatre, a recreation room and even an indoor jacuzzi. It's brilliant, I tell you." The agent showing us the place couldn't stop gushing. "Do you like it?" Valens asked me. I looked around the place. Truly, it was magnificent. The place was large and stunning with enough land surrounding it. We'd have our private woods, rather than the

Preparing to hear from the goddess was a lot of work. It intrigued me at first but after three hours of cleaning and meditation, I soon lost my intrigue. I had to be 'clean' both in my mind and body hence the washing and meditation. I had to empty my mind of everything that disturbed me, which was easier said than done. Everyone in the room excused me so I sat alone in the room, trying to clear my mind enough to accommodate the divine words of a goddess. "Aysel." I heard the voice. It was more intimate than my wolf's and at first, I assumed I was conjuring it but it called again. "Aysel, my child." I was so startled that I opened my eyes. "My child, it has been tough, hasn't it?""Is it – is it really the goddess?" I could have hallucinated her. I felt as if she wasn't really there because when I looked around, I saw nobody. Her voice was too calm, too human. It sounded intimate, like the voice of a mother, rather than a divine being. Yet, I felt the presence of something ethereal

The Cursed Alpha's Mate EPILOGUE
“… I now crown you, Alpha Valens Thomas Castillo I, the king of werewolves.” The temple reverberated with applause as the oracle crowned Valens. She placed the crown on his head, took a step back, and curtsied. Applauses followed after that and I was grinning from ear to ear. I looked at the smaller crown which had been sitting beside the king’s when the oracle stepped towards me. I had a smaller one that was a replica of it. It was the same one Valens’ mother wore on the day she died. He’d let me wear it on our Mating Ceremony and it meant everything to me. I didn’t know it then but him giving me that crown was the best way to let me know that he had let go of his past. He had left the path of vengeance and chosen to look forward to a future with me. He let me, a daughter of a traitor from a line of traitors, wear the crown his beloved mother wore in her final hours and he was able to smile and laugh with me as I wore that crown. “Do you, Luna Aysel Valens-Castillo, swear before

*VALENS*“I promised you would feel my wrath, didn’t I?” I looked down at the girl I once called my friend. I looked down at the girl that I once favoured. She made numerous sacrifices for me. She fought for me and with me but at the end of the day, she did not know not to mess with me. “I have prayed for forgiveness,” she said, looking up at me. “I have prayed away my sins. At this point, Vee, I don’t care what you do to me.” She sat down, her feet trapped underneath her. “If you had not come back, I would not have known. Do you know what you took from me?” Why did I quiz her still? I wanted to reconcile the Clover I used to know with the one before me. I wanted to see if there was anything left of the other girl, a person to mourn, perhaps. I never loved her the way she wanted me to but I loved her. She was my friend. My confidant. Now, she was my enemy. “How do you even know the child was yours?” She looked up at me. “All I ever wanted was to protect you, Vee.” “No, you wanted

“I don’t care what happens to the rest of them. I want Zavier hanged. He will be an example to this pack of what happens when people challenge me,” Valens was saying to the Elder who was to conduct the trial of Zavier, Skylar, and all who aided them in invading Redville. So the trial started. It took two weeks for us to work up from those who were minor parties in the insurgence before we made it up to the trial for Skylar and her father. They would all be tried on the same day and their verdict was already settled.I sat in the front row with Valens beside me. In the past two weeks, things had been strained with him. I wanted to pretend it was because we had so much to do, getting the pack together after the invasion and preparing for trials every day, but I knew I was wrong. I told him everything the moon goddess told me about my mother and since then, things changed. He had simply said he’d suspected after I got my magic, but nothing more than that. “The Alpha will pronounce the

AYSELArtemis wasn’t bluffing when she said the magic was stronger when we shifted. I hadn’t shifted in a while so I hadn’t noticed but the minute I changed from human to wolf, I felt like an entirely different person. Artemis was stronger. The little training we’d received was certain to make a difference in confronting Skylar but the magic we now had was everything we needed and so much more. When she moved, she moved with better grace than ever before. Skylar’s wolf and Artemis met midair, rolling off to the ground but not before Skylar smacked the edge of Valens’ desk. I was atop her when we went down, my claws digging into her brown wolf. She tried to wiggle out of my grip, tried to get my claws dislodged from her neck but Artemis had a far superior grip than she expected; it was evident in the surprise in the wolf’s eyes. I wasn’t the timid girl she used to know. I was not where I wanted to be, having barely hit half of my full potential, but I was far, far away from the per

VALENSI should have destroyed this pack from the beginning. I should never have let their disrespect and brazenness mount to the point where they thought they could defy me once, twice, and then start an insurgency. Redville did not matter until I took over the pack. They would not have lasted another fifty years as a pack without going bankrupt or succumbing to rogue attacks considering the two idiots they had in line as Beta and Alpha. I saved Redville because it became mine but Zavier and his men had no honor. I would teach them. “He is somewhere around here,” the warrior who alerted me to Zavier’s presence on pack lands said, pointing to a dark alley. I could indeed scent Zavier. I did not need him to be pointed out. He carried the stench of one who would soon turn rogue. The scent pricked my nostrils and made my wolf edgy. What the warrior beside me didn’t know was that I was not born the previous day. I could scent an ambush from miles away. Did he think I had no nose to sme

“I’ll go get it,” I volunteered. Several pairs of eyes turned to me as I spoke. Throughout the night into the day, I followed Valens around, rallying the warriors and trying to keep their spirits high while Valens discussed strategies with their commanders. Not unexpected but we hadn’t seen Skylar when we expected her. I knew she would prefer to make a sneaky entrance than arrive when she was expected. I felt like I knew her schemes better than these strategists but they had won numerous wars while I had no experience. We were at the southern borders where we expected would be the easiest part for Skylar to enter the pack. The elders had decided there was no point going out to find her. We could lure her in and have the upper hand that way since we would be battling on familiar grounds. “Gavin will drive you.” Jabari threw his keys to a burly warrior who I’d come to know was named Gavin. “You are sure you know where it is?” He asked me. “Yes, it’s in his office. I’ll be back soon.

“What do you mean you let down the security? We are just going to let her walk in?” I almost pulled at my hair. I didn’t because he hugged me, cutting me short mid-rant. “Stay still a while. I have to be out of here soon.” He pressed his cheek into my hair. “I’ve missed you today.”“Valens, is this a good plan?” I asked, my hands going up to wrap around him. “Are we certain it’ll work?” “It will. I know who she is working with.” He pulled me closer to himself, squeezing me for a second before he let go. “Who?” I asked. “Some guy I thought I ended last year. Alpha Callan. He is Skylar’s mate.” My mouth rounded in surprise. She’d found her mate? Of course, he would be someone that had a bone to pick with Valens. The world always seemed to align for Skylar when the time came for her to do evil. She didn’t even have to try hard, there were always people to do her evil work while she lurked in the shadows, dishing out commands. “An alpha mated to an alpha? Nice,” I said, trying to fo

“You are coming with us,” the taller of the two men said. He was right beside my bed. There were guns pointed at me from two different angles. One wrong move and it would be adieu. “I’ve been instructed to stay home.” I shrugged. There would be no wrong move. I felt a deep calmness inside me and it had nothing to do with the short sleep I just woke from. There would be no wrong move. I could almost see how everything would play out. Magic whispered in my veins, secreting through my system. It helped me stay calm, giving me a sense of control. My wolf stirred and she too felt the calmness. She did not pace, did not ready herself for an attack. She was relaxed as if we didn’t have guns pointed at us. One of the men cocked his gun. I smiled at him. “You have a lot of nerve coming in here. Did Skylar tell you how dangerous it would get?” I stretched in bed. “Get out of that bed!” One of them hissed when I continued to grin at them. “Or what? You shoot and miss, and I promise, you w

‘Come in if you dare,’ I replied the unknown number and set my pocketed my phone.“Celeste, I have to find Jabari,” I said to my friend, standing. She rushed to her feet to block me. “No, wait. You can’t leave until you promise you’ll spare my parents,” she grasped my shoulders. “Please, Aysel.”“Your parents are traitors. As much as I would do anything for you, this is outside what I can do. Except they aren’t part of this, there is no way I will let them walk free.” “I – I know they will be punished but maybe – maybe a sentence? I don’t want to lose all my family, please.” “When the time comes for that, I’ll see what I can do.” I tried to sidestep her but she blocked me again. “You promise?” “I promise.” I was starting to get impatient but she was adamant about getting a promise. “Now, let me pass. Skylar is here.” Her eyes widened and she looked around as if expecting Skylar to be sitting in the room with us. “Where is she?” She asked, still looking around. “She just texted
