Romans & histoires Moon Descendants: The Alpha King's Curse Mate

The heat intensifies and my wolf's thuds are relentless. Why am I this way? "Mireya, What's wrong?" I ask her and the reply she gives me sends my blood running cold. "Mate." The word almost escapes my lips but the frown on Alpha King Lucien stops me. "How can the Moon Goddess be so blind?" He rasps, his claws digging into my skin. "Don't you dare mention it!" He warns, "I can never take you as my mate." He hisses, his voice thick. Why would the Moon Goddess give this wicked Alpha King as my second chance mate?

"That's not going to happen now, is it?" Aeron tried to process what he had just discovered. Myra. His Luna. He could care less about the child; it was a girl so it remained useless to him either way. But his daughter is the key to breaking his curse, and if that was true, he had to get them both back. "No matter where she runs, I would bring her back here," the Alpha King growls. Oswald chuckled, getting up from the floor. "She remained silent whilst she tolerated you for months. Now that she's gone, do not expect her to be the same."

Her clothes mark her as a healer. "You children know nothing," she says. "Alpha Kael is not the monster. The curse is the monster." The young warrior frowns. "What curse?" The healer looks at the road ahead. Her face is dark. "Every woman chosen to become his Luna has died. Three women in ten years. All of them beautiful. All of them strong. All of them dead within a month of the ceremony." My blood turns cold. "Dead how?" the second warrior asks. "No one knows. Their bodies are found with no marks. No poison. No struggle. They simply... stop breathing." The healer crosses herself. "The pack says the curse follows him. Kills anyone he loves."

Saw the exact moment he looked at her differently. "Aria Nightshade," Elder Marius kept going. Louder now. Making sure everyone heard. "Daughter of the Nightshade Pack. Born under a blood moon. Marked with the Moonveil Curse." He pulled out a scroll. Ancient-looking. Official. "According to the texts, any pack whose Luna carries this curse will be destroyed. She's poison, Alpha. She'll rot your pack from the inside." Whispers started. Spreading like wildfire. Wolves backed away from her. Staring. Disgusted.

He said. I took a deep breath, steadying myself before recounting the events that had led to my curse. How I had rejected my mate to marry a neighboring princess, and how the Moon Goddess had prophesied that if I were to marry anyone other than my true mate, I would be killed. "And... Who is your destined mate?" The Alpha King asked.

I let out a growl. ‘Magnus, you’ve shifted?’ Dad says. ‘And he is pure white like my wolf.’ Mum says, stunned. ‘Have you ever seen a white male Alpha before?’ dad asks mum. ‘No, but like me, he is a direct descendant of the Moon Goddess. Perhaps my grandfather was a white wolf or a grandfather before him, or he could be the first pure white alpha wolf to exist? But either way, the Moon Goddess has bestowed this on him.’ Mum smiles. ‘You are so beautiful, my son.’ She says and hugs me.

But she fell in love with Lycan King Sylus, and I was the result of that forbidden bond. The Moon Goddess is cunning. Instead of punishing my mother directly, she cursed me: hideous red blotches across my face that would only vanish if someone truly loved me… or if I died. My mother swore an oath to protect me no matter the cost, and she paid for it with her life, bleeding out after a difficult birth. The Silver Moon Pack’s Alpha was ashamed of the scandal. He erased my mother’s existence and dumped me—an infant—with a family in the distant Night Shadow Pack that shared no blood with me. That’s how I ended up under the roof of my stepmother, Martha Cole.

I asked my head still on his chest as I wondered if his heart will give up more than what his mouth was will to. What could've stopped a proud alpha like him from doing what he wanted to do? “I'm cursed.” He blurted out. For the beat of one to three, I didn't react until his two-word reply sank in. “Sorry, what?” I asked my head snapping up. This has to be some sick joke because how could he cursed? “Yes, I am.” “But… but… how can you be cursed?” I stammered. “You're the Alpha.” “Yes I am. But there's no where it is written that an Alpha can't get cursed.”

Aurora said, now turning to stare at the Moon goddess and then back to her wolf, she gave them an inquisitive look then she knew there was something that they weren't telling her. "This will sound weird but you have to believe me, the Alpha King Adam is your second chance mate and your kiss is the only thing that can cure him, you are the healer Daughter, you are the cure to everything and you are dangerous to our enemies." The moon goddess said, and her words shook her to the core.
