Episode Seven

Alder’s pov

 

Leaving her at the mansion didn’t sit right with me. Not with the fear in her eyes… not after everything that had changed.

Mira.

 

The girl that had captured my heart at first glance, I met her during an event her father had hosted years back.

 

Although she didn't notice me, I was captured by her beauty the moment I saw her. I badly wanted her to be mine.

 

Which was I had use the marriage to propose a business to her father, but she had refused and she ran, but I didn't stop keeping track of her, the thought of her made every other women nothing to me.

 

But my hope, everything was shattered when I found out that she was mate to my twin brother. I cursed the moon goddess for days wondering why

She wouldnt make her mine.

 

Even with the curse that I hear, the way my father and brother had rejected me and cast me out, all that I wanted was Mira, but the moon goddess couldn't grant that to me.

 

But it didn't stop me from loving her and keeping tracks on her. I couldn't even stop even if I wanted to.

 

And once I found out that she was back to sliverhowl pack. I immediately contacted her father again, hearing that out of her own will she had agreed to this marriage, I knew this was a chance I couldn't misuse.

 

“Alpha!” My beta and right hand man Jace called out to me the moment I stepped inside elite mansion, his eyes flickering around like he was searching for something.

 

“You didn't come back with her?”

 

“Not yet, until the marriage arrangement has been finalized” I expressed as I walked towards the bar while Jace followed behind, clearly he still had something he wanted to say but my mind was so engrossed in Mira, she had been the only thing I think of.

 

I opened a glass of whiskey and poured it to the glass and without hesitation, I gulped the entire contents of the glass down my throat, it burned me, but i didn't care.

 

“Alpha!” Jace who had been standing like he was waiting fir me to calm down called out.

 

“What is it Jace?”

 

What if she finds out about the curse and decided to call off the wedding?” That was a question that I have been fighting so hard not to think of among the others.

 

I knew she didn't love me and only agreed to get away from my brother, but if she finds out about my curse, about the monster that she is married to, she won't hesitate to get away from me and that would mean that I would lose her forever.

 

“I won't let her find out, especially not before the wedding” I muttered yet it didn't seem like he was convinced.

 

“Is there something else bothering you?”

 

“She is pregnant, carrying my brother child”

 

“What!” Jace gasped. “This is bad”

 

“Exactly, they still share the same mate bond and I am certain that soon he is going to come for the child”

 

“This is really bad Alpha”

 

“You have said that enough, don't you think that I know that”

 

“You don't get my fears Alpha, your brother knows about the curse and if he decides to tell her about it, she is never going to be with you”

 

Jace had blurted that out, the truth I was trying to hard to deny and forget. I clenched my fist, so furious that it felt like I would explode any moment.

 

“That is enough!” I growled, didn't want to hear anything else. “Mira has agreed to be my wife and Luna, I get married to her and raise the child with her and if my brother comes, then we will handle that and that is final”

 

“Yes Alpha!” No doubt that Jace still had a lot to say, but there was no way he would have the nerves to open his mouth and say it out.

 

I poured another glass of whiskey, gulping down like it was medre water until one of the maids rushed inside, both her hands clasped together with her head bow as she did not dare meet my gaze.

 

“Alpha!” She called out. “There is a man out there to see you and he claims that he is your father” she explained and my blood ran cold, Jace and I exchanged a glance.

 

A man that I haven't set eyes on since he disowned me, was here at my home to see me, whatever his reason was, it was definitely not going to be good.
