The Cursed Alpha's Mate FIFTY-FOUR
I prepared myself to bare it all. I stood in front of a mirror and I prepared what I would say to Valens and how I would say it. All the time I looked in the mirror, all I could see was Lucien's hand all over my body and all I felt was a thousand bugs crawling all over my skin."I have no idea what happened but I woke up and I was in the basement and then –" I wiped the tears from my cheeks as I forced myself to look into the mirror. "And then there were pictures and I know I didn't – I didn't consent to them." My hands went through the mirror and it came down in a cascade of broken glass that dug into my fist."You son of a bitch!" I screamed, feeling numb all over as I gripped my head. My wolf still slept and I could only imagine how much wolf's bane I had ingested.I wanted to kill Lucien. I never felt such a violent urge before, never wanted anything as much as I wanted to see his lifeless body then. The minute the thought entered my head, my mind seized on it flashing countless p

"I need to know exactly what happened," Jabari said, fully entering the room. Celeste's eyes whipped from Jabari to me as she tried to follow the conversation."I – I don't know. He must have gotten the pictures." I wrung my fingers together."What pictures?" Celeste asked.I imagined the first person I would ever tell about the pictures would be my mate but it turned out he'd fled the pack. I'd expected him to be angry. I expected him to feel betrayed, to be murderous. What I hadn't factored in was the possibility of him hating me so much that he couldn't stand to be in the same room as me long enough for a confrontation."How do I get in touch with him?" I asked Jabari, dodging Celeste's question. "There has been a terrible misunderstanding and I need to clear things up fast.""I have a link with him as his Beta but he has shut me out." Jabari pursed his lips, hands on his hips. He didn't look the least bit pleased. "He also asked me to cancel the Mating Ceremony before he left.""O

I managed to fall asleep in the early hours of the morning but it felt as if I'd just closed my eyes when loud knocking sounded on the door. It took a minute of the knocking intruding into my dreams for me to get the memo to move. Celeste got the door before I fully woke.When I got out of my room, I came face to face with a grave-looking Jabari. The memories I tucked away to sleep came flooding back into my consciousness when I saw him look at me like that."What happened to him?" I asked, swallowing down the lump blocking my throat."We received a call." He paused and I wished he would spit out the words faster. The anxiety was choking me. "We – The Alpha pack, I mean. We are moving." The look on his face was the same one doctors wore to deliver terrible information about their patients."So he isn't coming back?" Celeste demanded, crossing her arms."It doesn't seem like it." He glanced over at me before looking away. "Usually he sets up an administrative before leaving but it look

VALENS'Are we still doing this?' Zino asked for the tenth time that day.'Yes, we are still doing this," I snarled at the mutt.'She is our mate. We have to forgive her,' he piped up but I ignored him. Now more than ever, I wanted to silence the voice in my head.The voice in my head had been my companion since I was a child, had grown and developed with me until my body had the capacity to let it out. Zino and I were best friends and more than best friends, we were one; two parts of a whole.'Are you listening to yourself? She cheated on us.' My wolf went silent at that.Betrayal was not an easy thing to get over and for a man like me, it was downright unforgivable. With the shitty hand I'd been dealt once again, I wanted to curse the goddess. I had so many questions and only she could give me answers but for over a century, she chose to be silent about the betrayal and bad luck I encountered at every turn in my life.I'd prayed and waited for a mate for over a century. Not only did

I asked Jabari to add Skylar and Bethel to Lucien's cell but it turned out no one had seen them all day. I fiddled with the heart-shaped pendant on my throat as a feeling of being overwhelmed washed over me.Celeste had to report back to work for a few hours and Jabari assured me that he would secure the pack until Valens' return. He seemed to have a lot of faith that Valens would return soon. So much that I kept looking out the window expecting to see my mate. That was how assured Jabari made me feel.I looked at my allergy medication and wondered why it wasn't working. If anything, it just made me feel even more tired.Octavia brought me lunch and when she tried and failed numerous times to get me involved in a conversation, she finally left with an empty tray. I was hungry today and not as queasy as usual."I brought some snacks." Celeste came in holding a bag. Whatever was in her bag smelled delicious and I went at it with fervour. Celeste had a big grin on her face when I was don

Five weeks. The doctor confirmed that I was indeed pregnant."Congratulations, you are carrying the next Alpha." She beamed at me and I managed a weak smile in return.What if it wasn't an alpha but an omega?"Are they healthy?" Valens asked the doctor.I wished he was physically present but he couldn't get a flight even after he travelled to the next airport. I wanted to wait for him but he insisted I saw a doctor as soon as possible. He was paranoid something drastic would happen to the baby if I didn't see the doctor. Or maybe he wanted to be sure the pregnancy tests hadn't glitched."Yes, everything looks fine to me," the doctor replied."She has lost a ton of weight. Is that normal?"In truth, I hadn't lost a lot of weight. I did lose weight as I wasn't really eating and I had a lot on my plate this period. I lost weight but not a 'ton' as Valens put it."Some women lose their appetite during the first trimester so a little weight loss is not uncommon but a ton?" The doctor looke
The Cursed Alpha's Mate SIXTY
VALENSI was going to be a father. My curse was broken. I don't think I had ever been happier than I was then.When we landed in Redville, I took a deep breath of the stent of the place.When I first arrived, there was no indication that this place would be any different from the others. When my mind set on claiming Redville, it didn't feel any different from all the other times when I seized on an idea.I'd long since adapted to the life of a wanderer. My leaving a pack was as swift and unexpected as my taking over it. My wolf told me he wanted a place and my body itched until I got up and went to take it. I'd repeated that process over forty times so there was nothing special or exhilarating about it.In the early days of my curse, I'd assumed the itch to move, to settle someplace else was a sign. The itch controlled me as I first saw it as a clue. I thought of it as a prompt from the goddess to enter a new land where I would find my mate.I couldn't spend more than three months in
The Cursed Alpha's Mate SIXTY-ONE
There was a crash, turbulence like a rushing wind, and then darkness. After the darkness came a blinding light. I woke up in a hospital room with someone clutching my hands. The room was stifling. The hand holding mine was unwelcome and the light hurt my eyes. I pulled my hand from the ones holding me but they held me tighter. "You are awake." I'd never seen Valens look as relieved as he did then. "Oh, goddess –" He paused and changed the direction of the conversation. "I'll get the doctor." He pressed a button on a strange-looking device, still holding me. A man came in wearing a white coat, a woman in blue scrubs following behind him. They gave me water that wasn't plain water and the doctor checked my vitals. "How do you feel?" He asked as he wrote something down on his file. "Like I got hit by a truck," I answered and I suppose I was right. I did get hit by a truck. Before the darkness, I'd been trying to get out of a car because I suspected the driver and then from nowhere,
