The Cursed Alpha's Mate TWENTY-EIGHT
*VALENS*I watched as my mate walked out of my office and it took a great deal of control to restrain my beast from keeping her glued to my side. With each day that passed, I grew less and less concerned about her past behaviour.She seemed too innocent to have tried poisoning me or betraying me. The person she seemed to be was not the same person I’d known her as and I kept trying to remind myself that she was more than met the eyes.She’d worked her way into my life in a matter of weeks to the point where I couldn’t string two thoughts together without her intruding into one of them. She occupied my mind on a daily basis. I knew it was the mate bond doing all these but no matter how much I tried to separate what was real and what was a projection by the mate bond, it became harder each day. I didn’t know where my true feelings began and where the mate bond ended. It felt like everything blurred together into one.One thing was certain. Mate bond or not, I would readily tear down any

I turned in the cocoon of warmth around me, trying to burrow into it. It felt safe and comforting, as if it stood between me and something unpleasant. I pushed closer into the heat as it wrapped around me."If you keep moving, I'm going to assume you're trying to get something in you." The warmth moved but it felt as if it was pulling away."Don't move." I grabbed the warmth, stopping its escape."You're giving me orders?" Something tickled my cheeks as it pressed against my face."You talk too much. Let me sleep." I turned around to hug the warmth instead of having it hug me. I heard a deep chuckle as my cocoon vibrated. It was so unfamiliar yet familiar and soothing that it made me open my eyes.The room was dark and the cocoon around me was Valens."You're awake." The prince's words were calm as he pulled away from me. I reached out and grabbed his hands to stop him from leaving."Sorry," I apologized when he paused. I let go of his hand when I remembered the embarrassing situation

LUCIEN"Are you certain she would want to do this?" I asked Skylar while we waited for Clover. She had this master plan and I swore to help her through everything as long as in the end, I had my mate back in my arms.It felt like someone poured acid in my stomach yesterday when I watched her walk hand in hand with Valens. My wolf clawed at me and fought to get out but I promised Skylar I wouldn't do anything to blow our cover. I had to make it seem like I'd given up on her so Valens would take his eyes off me."I saw the look in her eyes when Valens arrived yesterday," Skylar replied, tucking her hair behind her ears. She looked subdued today. As if it only just dawned on her the hurdle we had to scale to get what we wanted.They'd gone public with their relationship. The next thing would be to make it official with a ceremony. If they went through that ceremony, they'd be bound together as mates and more."What look?" I asked her."The same look you have in your eyes. The look of som

Not everyone's mate takes them to the sparing ground and arms them with knives but mine had to be special. "If I came at you with a knife, is this how you'd defend yourself?" I kept my mouth shut to keep myself from drooling. If anyone came at me with a knife, they wouldn't have such a magnificent chest on full display to distract me. "What was that?" His brow raised. "What?" "What is it you said about my chest?" My eyes darted to his face in time to catch a flash of a smirk which made my heart sink. I took a step back, burying my face in my palms when I realized I'd said the words out loud. Mortification made me burn from the inside out."Am I distracting you?" His voice was thicker; perhaps from holding laughter or something else. "Oh no, it's just –" I took another step backwards and tripped on thin air. I flayed about for a second before strong arms caught me and pulled me to a magnificent, sweaty chest. "Fuuucck," He exclaimed and let me go almost immediately. I steadied a

The men carried the scent of the Alpha Pack but I had never set eyes on them before then. Valens came up behind me and the men echoed their greetings in loud, cheery voices that were far divorced from their scary, domineering builds. "Alpha! Luna!" The largest man in the group echoed, then he stepped forward and on instinct, I stepped backwards, leaning into Valens. "A hug?" The big man asked. "I thought we all agreed on not hugging strangers?" Jabari stepped out of the mall. I frowned when I realized I'd been so caught up with Valens that I barely paid attention to Jabari materializing at different places around the mall, almost as if he was following us. Or me. "The Luna is no stranger." The big man took a step forward and I pressed into Valens. He casually moved me to his side, his hand draped around my shoulders and his actions plainly telling the newcomer to back off. "I see how it is." The man chortled before taking a step back so that he fell in step with the other men who

"What pain?" Valens demanded but the oracle did nothing more than cry, tears streaming down her face faster.I felt I knew what she was talking about but the more she cried, the more I doubted I understood this lady.I'd been through hell and back in Redville. There were days when I did nothing but cry from the beginning of the day till the end. I'd gone days without food, been broken in every way a person could be broken. Mentally and emotionally, I'd been traumatized. There was little cause for living and I'd found no use for my life. On many days, I wanted out.It was a sad story, one that spoke of my weakness. I'd lost every bit of strength over the years. Teenage rebellion went out of me, childhood curiosity died early in my life.If he knew all this about me, if he knew that my weakness extended past the physical, how would he take it?"I see it," the oracle whispered. "I feel it." She flinched as if someone struck her, making me wonder if she was reliving one of my run-ins with

"Just listen to me even if it's for one minute." He grabbed my hand as I turned to leave. "I know I've hurt you but I have so much on my chest that I want to say to you.""Why should I care that you have so much on your mind? How is it my place to help you get things off your chest?" I pulled my hand from Lucien's grasp, grateful for the things Valens had taught me. Before then, I always found it hard to get out of Lucien's grip but now I did it with ease.As he spoke, I assessed his obvious physical weak points. I pictured how I would go for them if he did anything funny. I didn't have the strength to take him down but Valens told me I had speed and I trusted him. I could deliver a swift attack before he knew it."For old time's sake? We were best friends. Doesn't that count for something?" I scoffed at him. At three a.m on a night I found it difficult to sleep, the last thing I needed was to take a trip down bitter memory lanes with a man that ruined me."It didn't count for anythin

"What can I help with?" I asked as I took the seat opposite his. Rather than reply, he walked around his desk and buried his face in my neck. His breath tickled my skin until he froze. I knew without a doubt that he had scented Lucien on me with the way he froze and slowly withdrew. He went back into his seat without a word, anger pouring from his skin and filling the room."Lucien was my best friend," I started when he dove into his work."I don't care." His quiet words were little more than snarls."You do. You're jealous of him." I challenged which I shouldn't have.I jerked out of my seat when things on his desk went crashing down with a sweep of his hand. Ink rapidly spread across the screen of his system as it lay on the ground."You're mine." He pushed the desk out of the way as if it was made from plastic and not high-quality wood."I'm yours," I answered in a small voice, taking steps back as he advanced upon me."I shouldn't have to be jealous of another man." My back hit th
