The Cursed Alpha's Mate SIXTY-FIVE
Preparing to hear from the goddess was a lot of work. It intrigued me at first but after three hours of cleaning and meditation, I soon lost my intrigue. I had to be 'clean' both in my mind and body hence the washing and meditation. I had to empty my mind of everything that disturbed me, which was easier said than done. Everyone in the room excused me so I sat alone in the room, trying to clear my mind enough to accommodate the divine words of a goddess. "Aysel." I heard the voice. It was more intimate than my wolf's and at first, I assumed I was conjuring it but it called again. "Aysel, my child." I was so startled that I opened my eyes. "My child, it has been tough, hasn't it?""Is it – is it really the goddess?" I could have hallucinated her. I felt as if she wasn't really there because when I looked around, I saw nobody. Her voice was too calm, too human. It sounded intimate, like the voice of a mother, rather than a divine being. Yet, I felt the presence of something ethereal

"Your mother's service to me exempted her from her family's curse," the calm voice returned after a few seconds of silence. "Her lineage was cursed for shedding innocent blood but she escaped her fate and ran to my sanctuary. I kept her safe in my sanctuary for many years, preserving her." I blinked because I was not expecting that. "What – What do you mean by preserving her?" "Time is a teardrop to me but an ocean to your kind. To me, she had spent less than a week in the sanctuary but she told me one day that she had spent decades. She had not aged in those decades but she wanted to leave to see the world outside."I – It was a lot to wrap my head around but I had a goddess in my head. I was listening directly to the voice of divinity so nothing seemed too big to wrap my head around. If my mother's lineage was cursed, did that make me cursed too? "Who cursed her lineage?" I asked. Cursed. I had played around with that idea all my life. I had called myself cursed with bad luck.

*VALENS*'Valens – he – When Redville needed an Alpha, when I needed an Alpha, when my baby needed an Alpha, he wasn't there. He is the Alpha that abandoned his pack.' Those words played in my head as I sat outside of the inner shrine. The oracle sat facing me, her eyes closed and head lifted to the ceiling as if she was in a trance or asleep. I was reaping the fruits of my lack of foresight. 'Is it just a lack of foresight?' Zino asked, yawning. I ignored him. He didn't get to feel the brunt of her anger so I didn't expect him to fully understand. I, on the other hand, felt the anger simmering just beneath her skin. And it was more than the anger; there was also resignation, sadness and an obvious lack of trust. 'You subconsciously wanted to punish me!' She'd yelled at me and I knew that was what she believed. I searched my heart, my mind, and even tried to see into my soul. No part of me wanted to punish my mate when I saw those pictures. I'd been hurt and betrayed. I didn't tr

AYSELI waited till we got back to the penthouse before I said anything about my parents. Throughout the car ride, he kept shooting me questioning looks as I'd gone completely silent after my declaration. I went into another room in the penthouse when we got there. I didn't have anything in this room. In fact, I could count the number of times I'd had anything to do with a room in the penthouse that wasn't Valens'.My eyes closed the minute I fell into bed but not because I was sleepy. I closed my eyes in a bid to block out a bit of what I was feeling which I knew wasn't possible. If I could close my eyes to my problems, if not seeing them meant they weren't there, I would have gorged out my eyes at this point. 'Tell him. Tell him now,' Artemis urged me. There was very little Valens did not already know about me but what he didn't know about me was more significant than what he knew. My discovery earlier in the day exhausted me. It turned out that I hadn't known myself either.I go

There was no point telling him anything if he thought like that. The goddess wouldn't lie to me so I could pretend I didn't know that he was searching for my mother and he would never find out. I felt I wouldn't care if he hated me but just imagining him looking at me in disgust changed my mind. "Marcus and Balthazar were my parent's good friends. They were nobodies before my father picked them up from the gutter, brushed them up and made them a part of his table. Filth favoured by the king. My father respected their intellect and they screwed him over with it at the end of the day," he laughed, then he pinched his nose. "Nothing of them remained when I was done but Andromeda, that bitch." He left his statement hanging there. "What did she do?" He'd never willingly spoken about his past before. "She accused my father of dishonouring his words to the magic folks so she used that to justify her involvement in his betrayal. When I took vengeance into my hands for her clan's involvemen

I could let her in from where I was standing but I'd told her to stay away from me. What was she looking for? Except she didn't expect me to be in and had actually come to see Valens. Whatever her reason for coming here was, she could state it at the gates."I'm going to meet her outside." I took the tablet with me to open the gates when I got there. Octavia halted me with a hand on my hand elbow. "The gate is far and – and –" she didn't look comfortable at all that I was going to meet Clover at the gate. "Maybe you should call the Alpha," she suggested. I snorted. "Why do I need to call Valens? It's just Clover. What would she do? Leak my nudes?" She'd done the worst she could and it hadn't turned out the way she expected. "Then let her leave then. She can come back when the Alpha is in." She looked nervous all of a sudden, twiddling her thumbs. "I don't think you should confront her." "I am not confronting her. She's visiting me so I'm going to meet her at the gate to know what
The Cursed Alpha's Mate SEVENTY-ONE
A part of me knew I was asleep when my heart started to race. The incident was three weeks past but still my body froze and a familiar pain seemed to slam into me. I was hyperventilating and trying to get myself to wake up but the more I tried, the more I slipped deeper into the nightmare. "Wake up, Sagira," I heard a voice that sounded around me as if it was coming from a room lined with speakers. "I am here," the voice continued. "I've got you." The last words were spoken in a quiet voice that seemed choked with emotions. I felt a hand gently combing through my hair as I started to regain consciousness. My head was in someone's thighs. The room was dark and then cold lips pressed against my cheeks, my forehead, my eyelids. My eyes snapped open and I bolted upright with a gasp, my hands flying to my chest and then every other part of my body as if taking inventory."You're fine." Firm hands gently pried my fingers from my hair when I gripped them hard. "I am here." I turned to Val

I had one word in my mind. Fuck. The way he stumbled to get out of the bed made me scramble upright. His eyes were blown wide when he looked at me.Looking down at my hands, I saw they were shiny. It wasn't sweat or an outer manifestation of inner radiance. It was light. My skin had a coat of light all around it. I asked the goddess for magic because I didn't expect her to give it to me. It was also because I wanted something my mother had lost and it was the first thing that came to my mind. I didn't pause to consider how Valens would react to me having magic. "I have something to tell you," I said to him. He nodded, his eyes fixated on me while he kept his distance. "You definitely have something to tell me," he replied. The light on my skin intensified when I opened my mouth to blurt things out to him. It started as a soft glow but as I watched, the soft glow brightened and brightened, turning me into a gigantic lightbulb. I closed my eyes against the burning glare of the ligh
