Semua Bab Mated By Fate: Cursed By Magic: Bab 21 - Bab 28

I find myself beside Lily, cradling her youngest pup snugly in a blanket, as an unearthly stillness envelops us. We linger by the river, where the moonlight casts a spiritual glow, revealing a mysterious path that dances across the water's surface.The pack hangs in the shadows, their heads lowered, emitting an offbeat whimper that hangs heavy in the air, thick with sorrow. As I stare at my youngest nephew, a lump forms in my throat as I begin to doubt myself. I have known for a long time that this day would come where Azra would sadly die, and I'd be the next alpha. But I could never have predicted that this day would come this soon and in the manner it has occurred.I'm not mentally prepared to lead my pack; I doubt I ever will be. Being a leader never tickled my fascination. I'm more of a team player. My greatest weakness are my nephews, and now that their father has passed, I must live up to their expectations and protect them from the evil that currently surrounds us.Death tain

“Fuucck…” I mutter, feeling myself falling face-first towards the ground.Closing my eyes, I wait for impact, and as it occurs, pain splinters across my forehead, my nose, mouth, and chin. I pull myself upright, taking in my surroundings as I search for Luna. One minute, she was standing in front of me, silently begging me to kiss her and the next… It’s like she vanished into thin air. My wolf growls darkly when we hear a faint laugh coming from our right. I slowly turn my head to find Luna at least fifty meters away from us with her hand over her mouth and her shoulders rising and falling. She’s laughing; she’s laughing at us.I grind my teeth together, glaring at her through narrowed eyes, and I push off my left foot, making a run for it in her direction. If there is one thing I despise most in people, it is being laughed at. Especially when it is to embarrass me. I fight my body for control, unwilling to let my wolf come out to play because only Goddess knows what he will do

Sitting on the front step of the pack house, there is a distinct chill in the air that can't go unnoticed. It's thick with the stench of death that swirls in the air, low-key, having everyone walking on eggshells around each other, and I don’t blame them. Our future is filled with uncertainty, and it’s the unknown that plagues us all with fear. People tend to fear what they don’t understand, and fear is a good friend of hate and deception.I tilt my head back and peer at the moon, perched high in the inky sky, shining gloriously. The sight truly is breathtaking, and though I have seen this view every night of my existence, it still manages to hold me captive. But for some wild reason, it feels like forever since I have allowed myself to be lost in her beauty. Especially now with everything that has been happening lately.A niggling headache pulses across my skull and down my neck as my mind is currently in a jumbled mess as it ignores my wolf instincts. My wolf is thirsty for blood.

The harsh hammering of my heart galloping in the nest of my chest drowns out my surroundings. My ears begin to burn along with my cheeks.What have we done?What have I done?It never crossed my mind that my mother would be able to feel every sensation raking through my body as Saffron devoured me like I was his main course. An exasperated sigh departs my lips as I squeeze my thighs shut and wrap my arms around my chest to hide my pebbling nipples. I’ll admit, my pussy still feels sensitive and every time I steal a glance in Saffrons’ direction, guilt with an underlay of excitement washes over me. What transpired between us at the clearing that soon led us to the waterfall will always hold a place in my heart. His dark and handsome face was flushed, misty with sweat, his enthralling eyes glazed with sinister intentions as he spoke to me like I wasn’t his enemy – the entity of all his troubles.He made me feel less of a worthless piece of shit that my mother had suddenly sprung upon
