All Chapters of The Curse of Fated Mates : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

A voice whispering my name pulled me out of my deep slumber. I was immediately met with complete pitch darkness when I opened my eyes.“What the hell?” I whispered to myself.Whatever had made me pass out in the first place was still making me feel groggy.“Elara? Can you hear me?” The same voice asked, still whispering.I extended my hand so I could rub away whatever was blocking my vision, but I was met with resistance. I tried again and heard a clinking sound.“Be careful, it's made of pure silver,” the voice said just as I pulled even harder and felt the chain dig into my flesh, burning me and forcing a cry out of my throat.“Giovanni?” I called out into the darkness as the recent activities started coming back to me.“Yes, I'm here. How do you feel? Are you hurt?” he asked.I tried to move my body, but it appeared I was strapped to something.“My wrist feels a bit sore, but that's about it. I think I'm okay.”He sighed in relief.“I'm strapped down to a bed, I think. Can you move?

A loud sound emanated through the room, jerking me awake. It sounded like a growl and a scream combined. The blinding lights caused me to shut my eyes immediately. “Gio…Giovanni?” I called out softly, cracking one eye open before the other. My vision was blurry. I felt heavy, and there was a sharp pain on my side.“Elara, help,” I heard his exasperated voice call out, and I jerked up actively. I wasn’t on a bed anymore, but a reclining chair like Giovanni’s. I noticed a tube ran from a nearby stand to my arm, draining blood out of me, and I gasped.“What's going on?” I called out to the empty room. “Get this thing off me,” I yelled as I thrashed. My movements only increased the flow of blood through the tube, and I stopped.Unbelievable. I was going to die from getting my blood drained. It was worse than any torture Alpha Moretti could have given me.“Please, Dr Isabella. I know you can hear me. I'll give you anything you want, please, just let us go,” I begged, as tears welled up

In a flash, the room was filled with light and equipment that sparked and banged before everything went dark. A soldier in front of me fell to the ground with a groan, and we all turned on our flashlights in a frenzy. The once dark room was now filled with equipment, but before I could make out the figures of anyone around, another soldier groaned, clenching his arm.“Someone has wolfsbane on them,” he choked out, pulling out a small dart from his arm as he fought against its effects. “I think they're humans.” I nodded, and he found shelter so he could let his body heal. Wolfsbane could only weaken a wolf and temporarily mess with their abilities. “What is this place?” I heard someone ask as our light rays searched the corners of the wide room. “It looks like some sort of lab. Try not to touch anything,” Dante replied to the soldier.There were whispering voices coming from a corner, and I gestured for Silas to find the source of the sounds while we continued looking around.I saw

I was back in my room and on my feet. Each time I saw the Alpha, he had someone else with him. It was almost as though he was avoiding being alone in the same place with me after our near kiss.On my second day back at the house, I had visitors trooping in to wish me well. From what I gathered, they knew their Luna was involved in an accident but the details weren't divulged to them. Sofia wasn't lying, a number of the pack women were staring each time I walked past but I wasn't going to let it bother me. Finding out that Giovanni was a part of Ombra Nera felt like a punch in my gut. I felt betrayed.“I'm ready to begin training again,” I announced confidently to Maria when she came visiting. She dropped the plate of pie slowly on the table and turned to me.“Already? You still need some time so your body can recover. Besides, what's the rush?” She asked, sitting on the couch.The rush is that my wolf seems to be back and I need to get back to training. But I didn't say that. Inste

Bang!The person fell, and I barely caught sight of his all black attire before Trevor pulled me behind a wall. Another round of bullets went off, hitting the walls, then stopped.My heart was hammering and I was breathing fast as I stared at my hands. I just shot someone. The gun dropped from my hand, but Trevor caught it before it hit the floor and shoved it into his jeans.“Hey! Luna, you're okay. Nothing happened, you're okay,” he said, shaking my shoulders. “I need to get you out of here. He couldn't have been alone.”“He's dead,” I whispered, looking in the direction where the body probably still lay.“That's not what matters. I have to make sure you're safe but you need to cooperate with me. Can you do that?” He asked.I nodded wordlessly. He had a finger on the trigger of his gun the whole time, ready to shoot. “Okay. The entrance we took is probably blocked by now and we can't take any chances. I expect this floor to be crawling with men.” I listened to him figure out the
