My Alpha, My Curse 23
Rhea’s POVThe tension coming off Adrian was scary. One second he’s sweet and gentle, and the next he has a glare that could drop someone dead. And it was directed at his brother of all people.I felt bad and responsible for that reaction. Even though I didn’t do anything, but I still felt that way because I was the reason.Alec maintained his relaxed posture, not the least bit affected by the scary aura coming off Adrian or the dark glare in his eyes.He raised his hands and said sarcastically “Fine, buzz killer. We’ll stay inside till you get back”He doesn’t want me to see the territory with his brother.Was it because he still thinks I’m too dangerous around his pack? Especially when he’s not around? Or was there another reason he didn’t want Alec to show me around?Adrian turns to me and I stiffen because he still had that scary look in his eyes. When he noticed my slight reaction, his face relaxed completely and he took a few, slow steps in my direction.“It’s still too early fo

Rhea’s POVHe knew I was trying to change the subject and he humored me instead of pressing more on the matter.“I was thinking we could watch a move or a tv series. Or I could teach you a game of cards” he said thoughtfully.Both of those things sound interesting, so I shrug and leave it up to him.“You pick whatever you feel like. Both of those are totally new to me” I said shyly.Admitting how much I lack in knowing many simple things is a little embarrassing, but with Alec I don’t find it so hard to admit out loud.He doesn’t give me pity eyes but he does look at me with little empathy and warmth before he says excitedly “Well, what I wouldn’t give to see my favorite movies as if I’m watching them for the first time. Trust me, it feels amazing and the awe that fills you when you enjoy watching something so much for the first time is indescribable. I can’t wait to have you experience that great feeling. Come with me”He made it sound so awesome, I found myself getting excited for t
My Alpha, My Curse 25
Adrian’s POVI sighed in relief as we stepped out of the coffee shop where we were meeting with possible investors for a new project. We’ve been in there for four hours and it was taking everything in me not to cut it short and get back to the pack house.We were still fresh out of war, alpha Victor might have already met with other rogue packs trying to gain back his strength and could be plotting his way to take us out. I didn’t want to be away from the pack for that long in case something happens.“Away from the pack or away from our mate?” mused Lennox in my head.I groaned internally. To say Rhea didn’t cross my mind more than once during this time would be a total lie. She crossed it many, many times in the span of four hours. Too many. I found myself spacing out in the middle of our boring business conversation and going back to when she sat in my lap trustfully and allowed me to feed her myself. The way her face glowed when she tasted food or her eyes glistened when she gazed
My Alpha, My Curse 26
Adrian’s POVThere was no way I crossed her mind even once the whole time I was gone.I bet she didn’t even feel the four and a half hours in the company of my brother the way I felt them pass excruciatingly slow.I was in a hurry I admit to myself because I missed her scent, and those green eyes that contain so many things hiding in them, so many secrets and battles.But as I stood there watching them sitting so close and content, as I saw her tense up and change her whole demeanor upon my entrance, I felt like I was intruding rather than joining. And it made the jealousy I never knew or felt before her explode like a damn volcano inside me. I hated it, I even hated her for stirring that feeling towards my one and only brother. I knew she personally did nothing to stir up that feeling, but her mere existence was reason enough.I shouldn’t be feeling this way. I barely know her. I barely talked to her. But it bothers me that despite that, I believe I have the right to be jealous.“Hey
My Alpha, My Curse 27
Adrian’s POVI allowed myself to hold her by wrapping my arms around her delicately, resting one hand on her waist and the other on the side of her hip.Again, I had that intense feeling that I was now complete and whole.I looked into her eyes and saw her gazing at me with an intensity that sent shivers into my heart. Like she was trying really hard to see and read into the depth of my soul.I waited for her to say something, anything. I could see she had so much on her mind. So much to ask and say about herself. But she didn’t say a thing. And after a while, I realized that she won’t.I cut off the connection between us by shifting my eyes to the filled plate in front of us and removed my hands from her body.While still looking at the plate, I asked firmly “Which is your dominant hand?”“The left one” she answered quietly.“If you’re using both the knife and the fork to cut into something, the dominant hand will be holding the knife and the fork will be held in the other hand. Do i
My Alpha, My Curse 28
Rhea’s POVI cannot believe the arrogant asshole of an alpha just apologized to me heartily.I thought he was incapable of such a thing. That it was way beneath him to admit to making a mistake or apologizing to me of all people. A rogue he looked down on just this morning before the break of dawn.But I was obviously as wrong about him as he was wrong about me.I looked into his pain filled eyes full of remorse and guilt and found myself believing him wholeheartedly. I searched for a sliver of doubt, I searched for that hatred I had for him, but I didn’t find any trace of it.Had he been someone else other than my mate, would those feelings go missing too, or would they linger?His thumb wiped away the tears falling on my left cheek gently and brought his other hand to wipe away the other side as well.He looked at me with a tender expression, my heart melted in reaction to it and to the wonderful feelings his hands on my cheeks were stirring inside me.“You still don’t know anything
My Alpha, My Curse 29
Adrian’s POVHer eyes were filled with a sad emotion.I don’t know why she is refusing to fully open up to me.We were going somewhere when she started telling me how afraid she is of me and how hurt she was by my harsh words the first time we met. But somewhere along the way, she shut down on me all of a sudden.Maybe I shouldn’t have told her that she was starting to take a special place in my heart? It was still very early for that, I probably scared her off. Great, Adrian! You ruined things before they even started! I chastised myself.My wolf Lennox speaks in a hard tone “Remember when she said just now ‘I’m not going to feel anything for him or anyone else’, does that include us as well?”That stopped me short, I didn’t catch that meaning until Lennox just pointed it out to me.“Because you’re going to leave at the end of the month?” I asked her tightly.“Yes” she said in a hard tone.“Why won’t you give this a real chance? I’m trying here, why won’t you?” I ask in frustration.
My Alpha, My Curse 30
Adrian’s POVI awake abruptly from my restful sleep, feeling like my heart is catching on fire.I get up to a sitting position and my hand flies to my chest instantly, trying to make sense of what I was feeling and what brought on that sensation that I rarely ever felt before. It took a few seconds to realize that it wasn’t really my heart burning with a fiery blaze but Rhea’s. If I could only get a glimpse of her emotions, her pain must be a hundred times worse than what I’m getting from my end of the bond.My eyes instantly water at that realization and my chest contracts in a pain of its own for that unbearable amount of suffering for an eighteen year old girl“What’s going on with her?” Lennox whimpered in pain.I shook my head “I don’t know, maybe she’s having a nightmare or something” I said tightly.I moved out of bed, put on the clothes I discarded on the chair earlier, and headed towards her room in a matter of seconds.I hesitated when I reached her room. If I go in, she wil
