My curse was mostly broken and once I broke it finally, my people would be free. The burden on my neck would lessen but first I had to place some of those burdens in Aysel. She had to finish what she started.
“All this while, I held out hope that we would be mated,” Clover said out of the blue. I turned to look at her. The incredulity I felt must have shown on my face because she reddened.
“It’s been a hundred years.”
“I know it’s stupid but I’m your lucky clover.” She poked my arm with a sad smile. I used to call her that as a joke when we were younger and I fancied her. Things changed.
“You haven’t been my lucky clover for the last century. You’re just Clover now.”
“A little bit of empathy would go a long way, Valens. Take this advice from a woman. We don’t want you driving away your mate before our curse is fully broken.”
“Let me worry about my mate and how I treat her.” I didn’t need any such advice as it sounded like a lecture.
She hissed something under her breath after I shut her down but she was not to be deterred as she continued.
“What’s up with the little omega that ran into me this morning?”
“What about her?”
“She has the scent of an alpha.”
“She’s my mate.” I knew I couldn’t hide forever and I had no plans to do that. She may not be worthy of being my mate but my wolf recognized her as his. After a full century of wandering restlessly, Zino finally found his rest.
“Why are you letting your mate work the kitchen?”
She had to learn. I couldn’t have a mate that got pushed about at every slight chance. I didn’t want her to be an easy target for the millions of enemies I’d gathered. She may not be worth the thought, seeing how she wanted me dead so she could be with her ex, but I couldn’t help that I cared for her.
“You look like shit. What happened to you?” Skylar said, closing the door to her room behind her.
“What do you think?” I snarled at her, collapsing into one of her seats in exhaustion.
“Stand up!” She shrieked. Her sudden loud voice startled me up like a soldier responding to a command. I flew out of her seat at once before glaring at her. “I don’t want you to get b***d on my seats.”
“You really are a b!tch,” I muttered under my breath. Her eyes narrowed dangerously.
“What did you say?” She hissed, her eyes darkening in a second.
“Nothing. I came here for a reason.” I could feel a pulse all over my body. My eyes were swollen but my left eye was worse. I could not see through it as I spoke. I walked with a limp and a sharp pain in my left leg with b***d trickling down countless parts of my body.
“Does the reason have anything to do with why you’re all bruised and bloody?” I shrugged in response.
Skylar was a very smart girl. Smarter than people gave her credit for. I knew she already knew why I came here before I even did. She must have known what the alpha and beta did to me after catching me with Aysel.
I can’t believe the bastard stole my mate from me!
“What do you think?” I asked in reply to her question.
“Before you say anything further, I want to ask one thing. Just one thing. How angry are you?”
“I want to kill him.” She smirked as I snarled the words from the depth of my heart.
I wanted Valens’ head severed from his body. I wanted his tongue cut out, his eyes gouged out! I wanted him to suffer like no one else ever suffered before. I wanted him to know pain worse than any man ever thought of before.
The bastard stole from me!
Aysel was mine and mine alone. So I made a foolish mistake two years ago by rejecting her but it didn’t give him the right to come and steal her from me and my wolf. We were both livid. As if he hadn’t caused enough destruction, he wanted to have the one person the goddess herself made for me?
Because of him, I would never be the Beta of Redville pack; a position that had been mine even before I was born. He threw my alpha out, disgraced him like a commoner but it didn’t anger me as much as his mating with my mate did.
“Good enough for me.” Skylar grinned and took a seat while I leaned against the wall. She complained about me staining her fresh pink wall paint but I pretended not to hear.
How could I leave my mate for such a selfish, self-centred girl? It felt as if someone had put a film across my eyes to deceive me. Sure, Skylar was beautiful; drop-dead gorgeous, but Aysel’s innocence and purity were more attractive. The innocence that the alpha prince had stolen from me. My fists clenched at my sides.
“He stole from me. Aysel is mine.” She waved my words away with her hands decorated with many rings.
“Do you think it’s wise to talk about another girl with your girlfriend?” Her words were calm. Neutral. I couldn’t tell if she was joking or not but she had to be.
“What girlfriend?” I asked, bewildered. “Skylar, we broke up!”
“We can never break up, Lucien. You promised to be with me forever.” She must be joking because she had a semi-smile on her lips. “You said you’d marry me. If I couldn’t be the Alpha nor the Luna, I’d be right by your side. Have you forgotten you said that to me?”
“I was seventeen.” I reminded her. Sure I said those words but that was only because her beauty blindsided me then.
