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
My Alpha, My Curse 31
Adrian’s POVMy tears streamed down my face unwillingly.I never expected to witness something as horrible as that scene on the bathroom floor. I knew she must have had problems and struggles, but I did not expect it to reach this far. I did not expect her to be so damaged like this and that was my own stupid ignorance to have never expected something like this, to have never even thought about it.I was too self absorbed with my own annoyance that my mate was a savage rogue, I was angry at the moon goddess for giving me this cursed mate. But what about her dammit! I never stopped to truly think about her as a person that’s been through unimaginable pain to reach the point of hurting herself in that way to deal. I never saw that coming because I was too busy hating what she was.I am a selfish bastard! No wonder she doesn’t want to open up to me. She knew it from the start. That I would never understand her. That I would never consider to help her or stand by her side. That I would ne
My Alpha, My Curse 32
Rhea’s POVWhen we walked into the dining room, I noticed only two plates on the table for me and the alpha, just like last night’s dinner.My chest filled with warmth, knowing he was doing this on purpose for my sake alone. He could sense my self consciousness over my ongoing struggle with eating the proper way and wanted to save me the embarrassment I’ll feel in front of the others.I sat down silently on my chair and stared at the breakfast laid in front of us. Still so many new things I never saw before in my life.Adrian took his time pointing out the various plates on the table and naming them to me, before we started eating.I was still struggling with cutting into things but was getting better at it.To be honest, I was putting on a show for him. I actually didn’t have that much of an appetite despite the many delicious smelling items in front of me. Truthfully, I had a horrible night last night. I was far from okay, I was barely holding myself together in front of him.I had
My Alpha, My Curse 33
Rhea’s POVAdrian was staring at me intensely while I tried to work through my emotions.Would he even believe me if I said I really don’t know the reason I was kept alive all these years? Or would he think I’m lying?Everything in me was telling me to bolt and hide inside my room, away from those inspecting blue eyes that were staring straight into my broken soul.But Hazel kept me in my place as she said intensely in my head “He has to believe us. We have no reason to lie”I looked him in the eyes and said calmly “I don’t know why he kept me alive Adrian, nor why he wanted to mate with me. I know there must be a reason but alpha Victor didn’t share it with me. I used to ask when I was young but then I learned not to ask anything about my past”His eyes narrowed at me before he asked with difficulty “What would he do when you tried to ask?”I gave him a weak smile that quickly turned into a grimace and avoided eye contact with him as I stared at the clear blue sky through the floor t
My Alpha, My Curse 34
Rhea’s POV“What’s that?” I asked curiously as I looked down at myself, assessing my attire for anything I forgot to wear.Did I miss something he told me to put on?“You need to tie your hair in a bun or a pony tail. We can’t have it getting in the way of our training and throwing you off your game” he said softly.I wasn’t a fan of training in my human form, but he seemed intent on it.“I don’t think I have one here” I said firmly.“I’ll lend you mine then” he said playfully before he took a black, elastic band from his right wrist and gave it to me.I took it and gathered all my hair into a messy bun like him. Except mine was a lot thicker and more bigger.“Now you’re perfect for training” he said admirably.I didn’t know I could blush even deeper than before but I felt it happen after what he said.Why are his words always having that effect on me? I like his compliments there’s no denying that anymore, but I hate the evidence.“Well, someone likes that evidence very much. I’d go
