My Alpha, My Curse 41
Adrian’s POV“OK, that’s it. The meeting is over go ahead and apply everything we just agreed upon” I spoke firmly as I stood up from my chair and headed for the door.I’ve been sitting here for three hours with Derek, My lead warrior, lead instructors, Alec, and his advisors as well.We agreed on an initial strategy to triple the amount of patrol and rotate them between the two packs since Alec was short on fighters in the mean time.We also agreed on installing motion/heat sensors with surveillance cameras outside the territory to gain a smart early warning system and provide as much time as we can to gather forces if an invasion ever happened.“Alpha” Derek called to me as he tried to catch up with me while I was walking out of the meeting room.I was in a hurry to go check on Rhea and see if she was still sleeping. But I stopped for him and turned around as I gathered he had something important to say on his mind.I noticed everyone leaving the room and going on their own way exce

Adrian’s POVI don’t know for how long I stood there watching here clinging to my sweater but I couldn’t get enough of this adoring scene.I can’t wait to be the one she holds so dearly to her in her sleep.I can’t wait to see love bloom in her heart for me and for her to miss me whenever I’m gone like I miss her and think about her whenever we’re apart.She stirred in her sleep and I froze in my place next to her bed side.I know I look like a creep watching her sleep like this but I can’t help it. She is so fascinating.I didn’t want to get out and pretend that I haven’t been watching over her. I want her to know how attached I’m becoming to spending more time with her. So I stayed in my place but knelt down to her level on the floor as I whispered softly “Wake up, Rhea”Her eyes fluttered before they opened sleepily and fixed on me.She smiled at me softly as she mumbled “Adrian”I adore my name coming from her lips in every tone she uses.“How did you sleep?” I asked huskily as my

Rhea’s POV“I can’t believe I won from the first time!” I squealed excitedly as Adrian and I were walking down the hallway back to my bedroom.It's been three days since my melt down in his arms back at the training room.Three of the happiest days of my entire life.Adrian has been so soft and gentle with me. Not once did he go back to being an arrogant ass who looks down on me as if I’m much lesser than him.It made hope bloom for the future between us. Hope grew especially because I haven’t had any nightmares since I started sleeping with Adrian’s scent in my arms.Every night before I sleep, I keep inhaling his addicting smell through the sweater he gave to me when I shifted until I fall asleep, and I wake up the next day without any night terrors. I didn’t give it back to him and he hasn’t asked for it.The absence of those haunting memories did wonders to my personality as I started being a little more open, less guarded and scared, and more joyful in the presence of others.Oth
My Alpha, My Curse 44
Rhea’s POV“Sandra told me the same thing when she saw me” I told him shyly.“Is Sandra being good to you? Please tell me the truth Rhea” he asked with little concern.“Yes, I think she is becoming a friend like Alec. She is very nice to me and I liked her more when she took my side and told you everything that happened with her sister and me. I never expected her to take my side but when she did, I decided that she is a really good person” I told him truthfully.“I’m happy you’re starting to feel more at ease among them. They all like you very much” he said lightly.“I like them too”“I’ve been thinking, or rather Lennox has been nagging, he wants to meet Hazel and I think it’s time since I know how much she’s used to being out and about before she came here. She must be agitated” Adrian said gently.Hazel instantly howled in my head in excitement and I chuckled at her exaggerated reaction.Adrian laughed at my chuckle and said “I think she’s celebrating in there, isn’t she?”“Pretty
My Alpha, My Curse 45
*Trigger Warning: Some sensitive and gruesome content in this chapter*Rhea’s POVI knew better than to disobey, I knew he could separate my head from my body with a single hit from him, or he could slice me limb from limb, little by little until I go crazy from the pain just to make an example out of who ever dares to defy his orders. I knew all that but I couldn’t get myself to shift.My eyes were stuck on the little boy and how big his teardrops were as they were falling down his angelic face. The biggest teardrops I’ve ever seen and they massacred my heart to pieces.“I don’t have all day Rhea. Kill them or die along with them” he said coldly with dead eyes.Hazel was whimpering in my head in both fear and pain.She wasn’t going to force the shift and do it for me unless I asked her. She was willing to accept death if it meant not getting blood on our hands, especially those people’s blood.I thought I could do this, I was preparing myself to do this for years but when the moment
My Alpha, My Curse 46
Rhea’s POVIt took me months to recover from my first two kills. If you can even call it recovering when my soul was already dead.I was alive and breathing but it made no difference for I was dead inside.Alpha Victor made sure of it.Ever since that night, for months, alpha Victor would always order me to kill the women and children of each pack we invaded to ensure my allegiance to him and to break me to the point of no return.And I did it.I never defied him again.I never dared to help the innocent people I found hiding in their houses ever again.I killed with no mercy. I killed them and gave them the quickest deaths I could manage. I never looked in their eyes, I never kept their screams trapped around in my head, but it didn’t matter.Nightmares filled my sleep every time I closed my eyes. That boy’s face, his tears, his cries haunted me until I thought I will go crazy with the amount of guilt and suffering I was experiencing.I almost took my own life as I reached a point wh
My Alpha, My Curse 47
Adrian’s POVI gasped loudly as I felt like I was catching on fire, burning alive even though there were no real flames enveloping me as I looked down at my body to check.A second later, I understood what was going on.“Rhea!” I called out in panic as I jumped off the bed and was out the door in the blink of an eye, heading straight to her room with a tremendous amount of dread.The last time I felt her pain in my sleep was absolutely nothing compared to what I was feeling right now.This was a million times more worse. And if the last time was any confirmation, a shallow cut won’t be enough to make it stop. Try a thousand cuts and it won’t even scratch the surface.I ran fearing the worst.I could stop her pain without endangering her life. But I knew she wouldn’t ask me if I left it up to her. She would rather cut herself than seek my help. She’s still not used to counting on someone else other than herself.We were progressing the past three days. She hasn’t seen any nightmares si
My Alpha, My Curse 48
Adrian’s POV“I’m so tired, Adrian. I thought my nightmares will end if I hold on to your scent and sleep with it. I thought it was working, but it didn’t. They will never go away until I end them myself the only way I know will work” she looked at me as she said in surrender.“No! I won’t let you harm yourself anymore! No more cutting, not under my watch. I can keep them away from you, My scent will. It has been working so far but my scent must have faded from the sweater that’s why they came back” I said angrily.She looked at me in surprise and I realized my slip up.“How do you know about….about my cutting?” she stammered.I came clean, no point in hiding it anymore. The only way to work through this is to be open and honest from now on.“I saw you do it in the bathroom a few nights ago. I got woken up from my sleep when I felt your pain through the bond. I watched you suffering in there, and witnessed how you dealt with it. I wanted to come inside and confront you about it but I
