All Chapters of The Alpha's Cure: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Aaron is pounding on the door like a maniac. Sobbing, I lean my head against it, clutching the doorknob. This last hard thump on the door makes me wipe my tears, unlock it, and hurry over to Jude. Emotionless Jude looks down at me, and then Aaron comes crashing inside. Instantly, I stand on my tippy toes, grab Jude by the back of his neck, and start forcing my tongue into his mouth. At first, Jude is hesitant. Now pleading with my eyes, Jude kisses me back. After we kiss for a few seconds, I peek toward Aaron, curious why he hasn't interrupted us. Feet flat but still holding on to Jude's biceps, I cut my eyes towards Aaron. His face was scowled up, but his eyes were dazing past us. Soon, he focuses and scoffs, "You'll regret this, Ajay," then storms away. Hurt and enraged by his unwillingness to fight for me, I hurried and slammed the door behind him. My body trembles as I stare at the door, too ashamed to face Jude when he mumbles, "I'm sorry you had to see that." Now facing him,

Glancing toward his home, I lower my voice, asking, "Is that your idea of a passion mark?"Unmoved, he scowls my way, and then we hear, "Jude!"His eyes still fixed on me, Jude answers, "Deena, hold up."Clicking my tongue, I say, "Hurry along to Deena, I have to go."Jude heads home while I head back down the road to the highway. By the time I reach the street, I'm sobbing. Suddenly, I hear rustling in the trees and shout, "Who's there?"Micah comes out of the greenery, motioning for me to keep quiet. Wiping my face dry with my hand, he whispers, "Don't cry. Follow me."Hand in hand, we detour through the trees, and there's a lakehouse. Micah chirps the alarm to a black-tinted luxury SUV and then says, "Jude's my guy, but he can be an asshole. I have a place you can stay, and I'm sure I can find you a way home sooner."Micah is opening my door when he gasps, "Have you seen your neck?""Oh yeah. It hurts bad. Do you have any antiseptics or preferably a hospital? I believe the guy who

"Jude!" Mama shouts.Our backs towards her, Jude stops and whispers, "Go to the car."Before I take a step, Mama says, "You too, Ajay."Wide-eyed, I look up at Jude, whose eyes are glaring through his mama. Mama asks, "Son, do you know what day it is?"Glancing my way, he answers, "Thursday.""Okay. Friday is an important day, right?""I'm more aware of Friday than you are, mama. I assure you, I won't need my privacy until Saturday night."Aware of my uneasiness, Mama smiles my way, saying, "Tonight, we are having a luau for the guests. Please, stay and enjoy the festivities."Flustered, Jude releases a loud sigh. Unmoved by his agitation, Mama stares through him, saying, "Ajay needs to see how fun we are."She winks at me, but Jude answers, " Not tonight, mama.""Deena! Please escort Ajay to her room." Mama shouts.Through a phony grin, Deena says, "Follow me."My eyes fixed on Jude, he pleads, "Mama, I promise I'll return her tomorrow.""Son, we discussed...""Mama, I have needs," J

The sunrays cutting through the forest awaken me. My knees sink into the rain-soaked soil as I kneel to stand. Peeking through the trees, I watch as the men in my family drive off in their SUVs. Once they're gone, I sprint towards my home. Now, inside, I take a cold shower. My body is burning hot. Feeling my temperature drop causes me to release a sigh of relief. While the water flows off the back of my head and down my body, from fear, I start to tremble. Is everyone in my family still alive? Sitting in bed nude, I call Mama. Excited, she answers, "Hey, baby. Are you okay?" "I am well."Hesitant, I continue, "Is everyone okay?""Yes. The door works great. You never entered our location.""Well, let me rest. I'll call you tomorrow.""Okay. Jude, we love you.""You too." Coming out of my daydream, I reflect. There hasn't been an alpha male werewolf in our lineage since 1677. My mama, her grandparents, and great-grandparents told stories of when the Knight family had werewolf protec

My car is still moving when I jump out. My insides are on fire as I approach Mama. Unmoved, she embraces me. Micah and Andrew stand listening nearby. Mama, and they know they're no threat to me. Only because I love them, I control my urge. Breathless, I pant out, "Mama, please give her to me. Let me end my misery."Gently caressing my arms and gazing deep into my eyes, Mama says, "No, I think you'll be more miserable if you hurt her.""No, Mama, you're wrong. Deena's right. I need to remove her before she causes harm to the family." "Will she? Or will it be you?""Only if you leave her here. I don't want to, but if she stays, you leave me no choice.""You have a choice, son. You can trust your mama and leave her here tonight or trust your instincts and massacre your entire family. Would you do that to Rojelio?"Hearing Rojelio's name upsets me. Gnashing, I hurry to my car and speed off.Mama's right. If I hurt Ajay, it'll destroy me, but my body needs her tonight. Jude, snap out of
