The Cursed Alpha's Mate EIGHTY-THREE
Celeste fell asleep close to midnight with me hugging her. I was dozing off when a text lit up my phone screen, startling me. I opened it to see a message from Valens. 'When are you coming to bed?' It read. I yawned as I typed out a reply. 'I'm not. I don't want her sleeping alone tonight' His reply came in a flash. 'What do you mean you are not? What about me?' 'What about you?' I stretched as Celeste turned. 'You want me sleeping alone?' Another text followed that. 'Come to bed.''I can't. She's going to wake up soon and I don't want her crying alone in a strange room.' 'How am I supposed to sleep?' I blinked at the text. Then a smile stretched my lips. 'You close your eyes, babe. And dream of me.' 'Ok.' I laughed a little at that reply. 'Goodnight.' 'Are you upset?' I asked, holding back a giggle. 'No.' 'Oh my goodness, you're mad at me.' I added a bunch of emojis to the text, hit send, and readjusted myself in bed. Celeste turned again, her breath hitching as if she wa
The Cursed Alpha's Mate EIGHTY-FOUR
My friend came out of her room sometime before lunch. I'd eaten her breakfast at that point and had to prepare something else. "Good morning," she said, yawning. Her eyes were tired and puffy, her colour dull. She'd taken a bath and changed into the clothes she came in with. "Morning." I put my teacup down, inviting her to sit beside me. "How are you doing?" I asked. She shrugged. "I'm sorry I broke down yesterday," she said with a tired smile. "I overreacted but I'm fine now. I didn't complete my shift yesterday. I have to leave now so that I'm not late again." She shook her head. "You're volunteering. Why are you working so many hours as a volunteer?" She looked away. "What aren't you telling me?" "I – Do you know how far my reputation has sunk in the pack?" I watched her expression as she said that. I could only imagine what she was suffering at this point. She'd gone from the daughter of respected betas to the only good egg in her family. Her parents abandoned the pack and h
The Cursed Alpha's Mate EIGHTY-FIVE
VALENS"Did you know she is a witch?" Avalon von Stein asked, her legs crossed before her. "Yes," I answered, flipping through a file Jabari just sent my way. My Beta wasn't functioning at full capacity at this point which put more workload on me. It was a good thing my Luna was picking up more and more work these days. There was no way I could do all this alone. "How do you feel about that?" The historian asked, making me pause. "She's my Luna," I said offhandedly. In truth, the thought of having a mate with magic was hard to digest. Her sudden magical abilities left me wondering and a lot of times, I would admit it made me recoil. I did not like magic and she must have noticed because she had fewer magical accidents around me. I imagined she was getting used to her new abilities or she was hiding them from me. I didn't want her to hide any part of herself from me. Never again. "Does it bother you?" She asked. I shook my head, unwilling to say more than that. Jabari mostly hand

AYSELCeleste and Jabari were not doing well. I didn't need to get his number for her because she already had it but she still refused to text him. He texted her one day, exactly a week after Valens brought her home. She called me after that, crying her eyes out. I realised things were worse than I first thought. She was getting increasingly afraid of him with each day that passed. She made up numerous scenarios in her head and in every one of them, Jabari was the villain out to get her.I'd asked Valens if she could move in with us. I knew being alone in her family house could not be good for her. He agreed but the girl refused so I was going to move her myself. "Why are you doing this? I'm fine, really." She protested, unpacking the bag I just packed. "You are not fine. You've lost too much weight and I know you aren't eating. There's no one to cook for you." I started packing the bag again. "My therapist thinks I am improving," she lied. "After five days? During which you've be
The Cursed Alpha's Mate EIGHTY-SEVEN
"You could have woken me before leaving, you know," I grumbled as a way of greeting once I got into Valens' office. "Oh." I coloured when five heads turned to look at me, one of them with a particularly spiteful glare. "We are in the middle of a meeting," the man with the harsh glare said, his expression turning more unpleasant with each second that passed with me standing at the door like a dimwit. "Right," I said with a smile, fighting the burst of magic that came with the anger I felt at his dismissive tone. There were speculations about my magic since the display I had in the dungeons with Zavier. The guards were more discreet than I gave them credit. No one knew for certain that I had magic and Valens cautioned me against outing myself to the world. He didn't want the reminder of what my hands could do and I understood why. "Did you sleep well?" My mate asked as I was about closing the door to his office. I could feel the anger radiating off the other man. He was a distant r

'Something doesn't feel right,' My wolf said to me as I worked.I read through the report of what happened with Skylar. One of the hunters that picked up her case had found her and she would be in the dungeons by nightfall. Because she was a bonafide member of the pack, it was due protocol to give her a trial. Although she could be sentenced without being considered for a trial, Valens and I agreed it was best to conduct a public trial so people knew exactly what she had done. Enough of calling my mate a tyrant when he punished people who deserved to be punished. "I feel it too," I replied my wolf out loud, my voice echoing in the space of my office which was right across Valens'.I wanted to go into his office to tell him of my unease, to have him ease my distress, but today was a busy day.The petition to free Lucien finally came in and it had close to a thousand signatures from those in and outside the pack. Lucien now had a fan page dedicated to him and the girls there wanted him
The Cursed Alpha's Mate EIGHTY-NINE
What happened after that was a flurry of events which barely registered. I flew around like a headless chicken trying to get the people who Valens couldn’t get in touch with. The elders had been alerted but some of them fell off the grid. The borders had been secured, Valens and Jabari in a meeting while I gathered the other elders. “Elder Malek?” I asked Luna Levana who was running around with me. “A traitor.”“There’s still one elder left that I haven’t been able to contact.” I sank into my seat, my back aching along with my feet. “Is it the Elder that was taken to the dungeons this morning?” My attention snapped back to Levana. “Yes! Goddess, I’m already out of it!” I sighed, realizing I’d already forgotten about the earlier incident with Elder James. Everything was happening all at once and I just woke up. It was already driving me insane. How much trouble would Skylar cause me before she actually succeeded in ruining my life? How much longer would I have to deal with her ter
The Cursed Alpha's Mate NINETY
I flew out of the car and rushed to the house but Jabari caught me before I took five strides, pulling me back.“My friend is in there. Your mate is in there!” I yelled at him when he stopped me. “Do you know what he is doing in there?” I asked but his expression was unreadable. “Stay in the car. Whatever is going on in there is a potential danger to you. I’ll deal with it.” He tried steering me back towards the car but my feet were quicker than his. I dashed past him and raced through the familiar front doors into Celeste’s home. I was surprised to see her wrestling her brother to the ground. She was beating a bag into his face but he gained the upper hand in a matter of seconds, struggling weakly against her. “Just listen to me for a second!” He called in a harsh voice. “I am still your brother.” They both noticed my presence at the same time. He paused, looking up at me. Celeste took that time to push him off her with a violent force. She scrambled to a stand and in a flash, he
