Filed To Story: The Cursed Alpha's Mate Book PDF Free
When I first arrived, there was no indication that this place would be any different from the others. When my mind set on claiming Redville, it didn’t feel any different from all the other times when I seized on an idea.
I’d long since adapted to the life of a wanderer. My leaving a pack was as swift and unexpected as my taking over it. My wolf told me he wanted a place and my body itched until I got up and went to take it. I’d repeated that process over forty times so there was nothing special or exhilarating about it.
In the early days of my curse, I’d assumed the itch to move, to settle someplace else was a sign. The itch controlled me as I first saw it as a clue. I thought of it as a prompt from the goddess to enter a new land where I would find my mate.
I couldn’t spend more than three months in the first five packs I conquered. After the first month of conquering, the itch to leave returned and I foolishly thought it was a sign that something different awaited me in the next pack.
It took me a while to realize I was driven by the curse, that the goddess was not directing me to a land where I would find my mate. That realization was a harsh blow and with it came bloodlvst.
Coming to Redville did not spark anything inside me. I didn’t know it would change my life. I didn’t expect to find my mate here. In fact, I fought the urge to come here for a long time. From what I’d bothered to gather about the pack before invading, I’d learnt that the Alpha was without a mate and the pack was horrible to lower-ranked wolves. They had a smear on their reputation and nothing was appealing about them. Though they were many and strong, they had no natural resources and no wealth.
I’d have met Aysel six months earlier if I’d given in to the first urge to come here. I’d have met my mate sooner and the knowledge that I’d delayed made me annoyed with myself. If only the goddess had given me a hint. But alas, she preferred not to meddle or so her oracles liked to say.
“Welcome back, Alpha.” My driver greeted me.
I got into the car and called my Beta.
Zino started to pace when the trip started. ‘Something is amiss,’ he said and I felt it in my guts that something was out of place.
“Where are you?” I asked once Jabari picked up the call.
“I’m in my office.” He sounded disgruntled when he picked up. “There hasn’t been any sign of Zavier in his usual hideouts today.”
“Do they know about my return?” I looked out of the window at the buildings speeding by as we drove.
“The whole world knows of your return. There are dozens of pictures of you at the airport.” Jabari grumbled.
“He will retreat if he knows I’m returning.”
Zavier was a trash Alpha and we had a score to settle but I would give him grudging respect for putting his pack before him. A handful of Alphas had run off when I entered their pack and a number of others had chosen to wage war with my pack.
Zavier handled things better than any other Alpha I ever displaced. He didn’t run away in the middle of the night like a scared dog, neither did he drag his pack into his battle. He fought like an Alpha and accepted his defeat like one too.
“I think so too but I’d feel better if I knew that for sure.” Jabari sighed.
“How is Aysel?” My fingers drummed on my th!ghs.
I wanted to get her something upon my return but I couldn’t put off seeing her for long enough to buy her a present. I’d asked Jabari to arrange something instead.
“I haven’t seen her since I dropped her at the hospital this morning but she should be fine. I sent Andrew to pick her up.”
“Alright.”
I watched as we passed an accident scene. An overturned car, partly burnt, lay on the side of the road. My wolf paced when we saw the car.
“Stop the car.” My driver pulled our car to a screeching halt. “What happened here?” I asked as I got out of the car.
“I don’t know but I heard it was a hit and run.” My driver also got out of the car with me as I approached the scene.
“Gentlemen,” I called to the officers circling the scene to get their attention.
“Alpha!” They snapped to attention. “Welcome back.”
The longer I stood here, the faster my wolf paced. The whole place smelt like smoke and petrol and it irritated my senses.
“What’s going on?”
“A hit and run. One casualty.” I walked around the vehicle, surveying the area while the police officers filled me in.
My phone rang again and I fished it out of my pocket. “Valens, where are you?” Jabari sounded frantic on the other end of the phone and it made my wolf perk up.
“Did you know there was an accident?” I asked instead of answering.
“Yes. The police will send a report. I can’t handle everything but that’s not why I’m calling you. Celeste called. She can’t find Aysel.” My ears rang but I tried to keep my composure.
“Officers, are you sure there was only one person in this car?” The men nodded. “Who was he?”
“He hasn’t been identified yet. He is in critical condition and we’re not sure he’ll make it.”
“Jabari, call the hospital. Ask them if the casualty is Andrew.” I ended the call with Jabari.
I closed my eyes. I had to be calm to open a mind link. I didn’t have one with Aysel because we hadn’t performed the Mating Ritual yet. I only had one with my Beta. I closed my eyes and concentrated on the never ending buzzing in my head.
There were threads of the numerous packs I controlled, my connection to the Alpha Pack being the strongest.
