Semua Bab The Cursed Alpha's Fate: Bab 81 - Bab 90

One week turned into one month and then two. My mate was swamped with work and I mean SWAMPED. The Alpha King had quit the throne and his family had evacuated the Alpha King’s castle and started to auction their things. There was chaos here and there and my mate was at the centre of it all. A lot of people had assumed he’d assume the throne and when the days turned to weeks without any announcement of who’d succeed the king, things started to fall apart.The royal family for wolves were symbolic. They did not do much but their existence was a reminder of the goddess’ blessing. It was the very foundation upon which our hierarchical society was built and established by the goddess. The goddess upheld the monarchy and there were rumours that the first monarch had been a child of hers but it was only a myth. For the monarchy to just – phase away like that? It was unbelievable. Even I had a problem believing it because even when Valens' father had wandered as a cursed man, the monarchy st

The next day, we went to see the house. It was a huge house just as I had imagined. It was everything I pictured and ten times better; a beautiful and large house that I could already imagine my life in. I could tell a lot of beautiful memories would be made in this house and I was looking forward to it already. Holding hands, my mate and I walked to the porch. He put the key in the lock and it turned smoothly. The door opened and we stepped through the threshold and into the house – our future home.“You’re excited,” he said with a slight chuckle but he held my hand tighter. His voice echoed in the living room and my heart burst with anticipation to fill up this house and make it a home for the two of us and our kids.“It’s like – like,” I could not explain the many emotions bursting in my heart. A few hours ago, I wasn’t even thinking of a house but now, it felt like I’d been waiting for this moment my whole life.My relationship with Valens started unconventionally. There had been

*JACKSON*Sitting in the middle of the bed that I once shared with my mate, the weight of solitude pressed down on me. The air around me hung heavy and the memories replaying in my head of all the happy memories I had with Chantelle in this room deepened my regret and sadness. I laid back in bed with a heavy sigh, scrubbing my palms down my face as if it could assuage the heaviness I felt in my soul.The room felt emptier today of all days, my life felt emptier. Chantelle’s presence which I had taken for granted now haunted me. Her laughter seemed to resound from the walls of this very room. Her scent pervaded my nostrils and I felt that if I blinked hard enough, I would see her, sitting at the vanity, doing her hair and asking me what I thought of the style. I closed my eyes but opened them quickly as the ache in my heart became more pronounced.It was as if I was torturing myself these days. Rather than trying to forget her, I found myself forcing myself to remember her, her smile,

I woke up the next morning with a weird feeling. It felt like I’d forgotten something important, like a life-changing dream, but no matter how much I wracked my brain, I couldn’t remember a single dream I’d had the previous night so I chalked it off as one of those Déjà vu moments.My schedule for the day was packed and upon getting to my office, I met Daniel. He was the same glaring teen as usual. As much as Daniel hated me, he never shirked his duties. His family had been in charge of the pack during Valens’ absence so he had a lot of information on the workings of the pack, even more than Dahlia who’d been here for five years now.“Good morning to you too,” I said when he refused to utter a word as I entered the office. Even then, he refused to take the initiative to greet me. He kept his lips tightly sealed and handed me a stack of paper.It was a questionnaire he’d gotten the pack members to fill out about the state of the pack house. We’d made an online questionnaire but only a

*JACKSON*I’d become a stranger in my life. Things were happening but I could not keep track of any of them. Out of nowhere, Alphas started to present deals to me but not ones that helped my pack. They were all talking about bringing down the Cursed Alpha. I remembered the cryptic message I got days ago and it made me shudder. I’d thought it was a text from Chantelle but with the way things were going, I realised Chantelle had nothing to do with this.“As I’ve said, I can provide you with a hundred skilled warrior wolves. I won’t rest until I see that bastard buried six feet under and since his curse is broken, it should be easy.”I was nodding along to what he was saying but I couldn’t even remember his name. All that he’d said was that he’d help me since he’d heard I was going after the Cursed Alpha but I didn’t know how he got this information. I could only assume the person who sent me that cryptic message was working behind the scenes.Although grateful for them, I was still scep
