“She tried to poison me.” Clover stilled and then laughed.
“What awful thing did you do to your poor mate to make her hate you enough to poison you?” I shrugged. “Does she not know that you’re immortal? A little poison wouldn’t hurt you in any way.” She hadn’t known that. Most people didn’t.
No blade or claws ever penetrated my skin. Poison could not kill me. If I jumped down from a skyscraper, my legs would break, my spine would break but I would not die. I was cursed to wander the world forever. I could not die.
I answered Clover’s question with another shrug. She didn’t know I couldn’t be killed but that first betrayal already set the tone for our relationship, even before she went out to k!ss her ex, after she pestered me about rejecting her.
She wanted me to reject her so she had no issues going back to her first mate. If I rejected her, I would have no reason to be upset if she turned around and mated with the first man the moon goddess gave her.
I wasn’t a fool. I didn’t expect companionship from anyone except those who bore my curse with me. I didn’t need a companion. I just needed a curse breaker. Unfortunately for her, she was stuck with me whether or not she wanted to.
She could never be with another man. Her body would not enjoy any touch asides from mine and if she even tried, I would feel it in my guts and the heavens and hell would not stop me from tearing out her partner’s head from his neck.
“She loves another.” Clover sucked in a sharp breath. She stayed quiet for a long time after that and we both basked in the silence of the room as we went deep into thought.
“Is this another manifestation of the curse?” She asked in a voice quieter than usual. It wasn’t another manifestation of the curse. This was nothing but my ill luck.
“My curse is mostly broken. You will have a chance to find your mate now.”
The many oracles and mages we contacted after my curse started to manifest assured me that once I broke my curse, my people too would be free from theirs, one after the other. They assured me I wouldn’t wander the world for a long time and I held on to their words even when it felt as if their words were lies. I held them as the only hope for change in my life and after a hundred and four years, it finally happened.
I found my mate. I could see colours. The urge to wander, to leave and find a new home after conquering a pack always hit after about three months, becoming impossible to ignore after a year so I had to wait to see if that part of the curse had been broken too. I think it must have because my wolf wouldn’t want to leave his mate to conquer senselessly.
I couldn’t father any children with the women I was with after my curse so I added barren to my list of curses but I knew that I would have a pup with Aysel. My spirit convinced me of that.
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?”
