All Chapters of The Alpha's Cure: Chapter 151 - Chapter 160

Less than five minutes from leaving orientation, Donovan calls. First, I exhaled and then answered, "Brother Donovan.""Blessed morning, Ajay. You aren't at work?""Yes. I only stepped out to use the restroom, and you called. What's going on?""Nothing. You were on my heart, so I decided to leave a prayer on your voicemail, but since you answered, can we pray together?""No, leave it on my voicemail. I have to go."I end our call and start gnashing. Why won't this guy leave me alone? I was so angry that I clenched my fist and started shaking. Someone taps me, and I whip around, enraged. Palms lifted, Ellie says, "Woah! Ajay, are you alright?""No! I want to be left alone, but I feel like you church people are riding my back!"She frowns, "What? Ajay, it's your pet demons that have you so annoyed.""I don't have any demons! You guys are suffocating me!"Unmoved, Ellie says, "They're looking for you in the meeting, so I volunteered to find you. I'll tell them you want to be left alone."

Ajay's pouring her heart out to me. While she exposes all my lies and deceptions, I feel like less than nothing. When she said she's learned to love herself, I was screaming on the inside, "How can I love this woman this much? What has she done to me?"Love is a curse, for sure. It finds you, puts a yoke around your neck, then enslaves you, but you embrace it. You own it and wish, hope, and feel you'll give your life to keep this person.It's so powerful that whenever my family asks, "Why do you love Ajay?" I always avoided it or gave an elusive answer. I had to, because the only answer I could give was, "I don't know why I love her, but I do."It's too soon to reveal everything I must do. Ajay will never understand, and neither will she submit to it. I need to be able to lie to her a little longer, but she's done accepting lies.She's interpreting my silence as compliance, but I'm warring inside. This war for power brewing on Knight Island is the last thing I want her to be a part of.

Lost in my eyes from our kiss, I ask Ellie to help me, and she says, "Yes, tell me what you need, but it can't require casting spells or curses. I'm done with that."I tell Ellie, I see your power. It's vibrant and strong. It's light."Starry-eyed, Ellie sits up straight and leans closer, begging, "Please tell me what else you see.""Your aura is no longer dim but shining bright. It's alluring. When I met Ajay, I saw this light around her. It's what drew me to her.""That was the whole purpose of Your Portion. It was created for those of us who wanted to bring more light into the world. Ajay and I joined to exhibit the good that we felt many lacked. Others always harped on what was so wrong with us. We wanted to show the world we were powerful yet used our craft for the good.""Why the change of heart?""You just answered your question, Jude. Dawn used our vulnerability to change our hearts. But for the worst."Leaning into her, I ask, "What do you see when you look at me? And be hone

Bruce escapes, and I speed to the airport. A flight attendant wakes me up, and I start swinging from a nightmare."Sir, are you okay?"Once composed, I feel ridiculous. Rubbing my face and fixing my shirt, I clear my throat and answer, "I'm fine, thanks. What time is it?""It's one in the morning. We assumed you got here early and took a nap, but there are no more flights. Did you oversleep?""Uh, no. I'm just early. I'm waiting on my uncle.""Okay, but you can't stay by the gates. I'm sorry.""I understand."The shuttle takes me to the car rental area, and I start my journey back to Knight Island. I'm in my zone. My head is filled with thoughts. Once I make it to Tennessee, I need to go to sleep.I get a hotel room, and then the moment I'm comfortable, I pop up screaming, "Fuuucckkk!"How did I forget I mated with Ajay? Instantly, I call her phone, but she doesn't answer. I'm getting dressed, but my body gives out, and I fall into a deep sleep. When I woke up, I had slept for 48 hours

I sit alone in the dark, eating the Chinese food I had delivered. Hearing Jude grunt in his sleep, I stopped playing with my noodles and put our food in the refrigerator.Through the cracked bedroom door, I notice Jude isn't in bed. I open the door and enter. The room is freezing, and Jude is sitting in the corner away from the moonlight. Unable to see him, I only sense his presence and whisper, "Are you hungry?"He releases a faint growl. Uneasy, I turn on the light, and Jude is a werewolf. Instantly, I want to run away in terror, but I don't. I'm his mate now. This is who I'm marrying, so I can't fear my own husband.Lowering my eyes and almost bowing, I ask, "What's wrong, Jude? Why are you in this form?"He doesn't answer but sits, glaring my way. His gaze is so cold that horror begins to overtake me. Through a quivering voice, I say, "Let me warm up your dinner.""Ajay," he whispers in his eerie voice.Head bowed, I stammer, "Yes, Jude.""Come to me."Tears fall in terror as I sl
