Alpha’s Cursed Mate

***********

Leo’s POV

***********

You know the feeling of having a complete family where happiness and joy flows like milk and honey. Where you can not do without smiling. Yes, that was it.

My family was as happy as a child who had just recovered her lost puppy.

But then everything was trashed as that happy family got scattered and no matter how we tried to make it work. It just wouldn’t. Everything was ruined.

My dad pushed us out on that rainy night and severed all ties with us. You know it could not have been more painful if only he did not have someone else. He chose a love of over seven years to just a bond that was created by some moon goddess. I so much hate what I am. I am a BEAST. A human in the day and an animal at night.

Even my own dearest sister does not even know what I am. I feel like killing myself.

You know maybe I wouldn’t hate myself if my dad was still with us. If he was there when I was having my first shift. If he was there on every full moon when I was forced to crack bones and morph into the beast. But I already accepted my fate. I have been living with it for long so… I am cool. Just cool.

Then I met this man days ago, I was so enraged.

I had told Ciara, a close friend of mine that I was coming to visit her since she moved out. When I got there I met her mate and we had some pleasantries before moving towards the pack house. Just as I entered, I saw my dad then I realized that Ciara’s mate was my stepbrother. I had a little fight with them and ran off.

What was even more surprising was when my wolf stopped to see a female having sex with two males. I don’t know why he got angry, he howled so loud and ripped the males’ heads off them. I was shocked but did nothing.

(This is actually the summarized part of what ensued there. Read Demoted To An Omega to understand how it happened)

He said something like… Well, I heard it though… Like Mate. Ciara had once told me about it and I don’t know how it feels but right now, I think I know because I feel so weak to move.

*Next Morning*

Grrr! Grrr! Grrr!

The alarm beside my bed rang continuously. I tossed around on the bed but it would not stop ringing. Stretching my hands out of the bedsheets, I reached out for it and clicked it off. I sighed and roll over to the side of the bed. I tried keeping eyes closed so that I will go back to bed as silently as before but then these little eyes of mine has decided to go against me this blessed morning. I squinted it open and saw that the sun had already risen.

I sat up sluggishly with crinkled face. I looked around sleepily and exhaled deeply. No matter how hard I tried to move out of the room, I just couldn’t.

Her face kept appearing in my head. I tried my best in taking her face off but it was just not going. I felt frustrated but guess what, I could not get drunk.

Sighing repeatedly, I stood up and felt how shaky and frozen my leg had become due to not standing up for the past three days.

Immediately, I had left my stepbrother’s pack. I lodged into an hotel and since then, I had not gotten out yet. The only time I do anything is when the receptionist brings whatever I order into my room. Then I would sit up and eat. I did not even take my bath. I guess I stink.

I scoffed. I raised my armpit up and sniffed it. Smelly. Stinky. I staggered my way to the bathroom with support from nearby stuffs and went in.

Standing right before the mirror, I looked at how tattered and broken I was. My eye bags had already darkened due to the stress and brooding. My stubble already grew out. My eye color already went dim. I was weak. Weak?. Is that the word.

I shrugged and went into the shower. As the coldness of the water came in contact with skin, I shuddered. I closed my eyes and let the shower pour freely on me.

Beep! Beep!

The door bell rang. I turned around and said, “Come in”.

The receptionist entered with a tray of food and wine places beside it.

” Good morning, Sir.” She greeted enthusiastically. I smiled a little at her in acknowledgement.

“I brought your order.” She said.

“Drop it over there.” I replied and pointed over to the table. She walked gently towards there and placed it down.

“Is there maybe anything you need again?” She asked.

“No, thanks.” I said and buttoned up my shirt.

“Okay, guess I would take my leave.” She said and exited the room. I clicked the button of my jeans and used the belt. I sighed after everything and took slow strides towards the table.

I sat down and opened everything up. Took a fork and ate out of it.

It tasted like potatoes. Actually, it was a breakfast that included bacon, potatoes, waffles, toast, and coffee.

I ate it slowly. Not like I was going somewhere.

*Some Hours Later*

Leo’s POV

**********

The vibration of my phone brought me out of my reverie as I stood on the balcony of my hotel room. I was so lost in staring at the blue sky that I did not feel it ringing. I scrambled my way into the pocket of the tight pair of jeans I had worn and forcefully brought out my phone.

Without looking at the caller ID, I clicked the green button and placed the phone next to my left ear.

“Finally, he picked it.” I heard her say. Obviously talking to maybe her boyfriend or anyone.

“Leticia.” I called.

“Oh, brother. Where have you been? I have been calling you, sent you several text messages and almost even went ahead to report to the cops. If not for Carl stopped me.” She rambled on. Carl was her boyfriend’s name.

“I am fine.” I said in a croaked tone.

“Oh my gosh.” She exclaimed. I frowned my face and waited for her to continue.

“You have not been eating well and also I feel like you have been drinking.” She said in an almost *motherly* manner.

“Leticia, see, I am fine here and I will be back home soon.” I said.

“Leo, I won’t accept such excuse. You have been away for the past two weeks without replying my messages or picking my calls. Come home.” She said sternly and that kind of ignited the anger that I tried keeping low deep inside me.

“You don’t order me.” I said with an animalistic tone. More like growling. I could feel her voice quiver and she herself cower back in fear.

Then the realization hit me in my head. My wolf, just talked to his sister. I mean I talked.. Like he talked to her.

All these while he will never talk to me or even mind anything I do. Though I shift. I still do not usually talk to him. So you could say we were not close. But then he just did.

After he saw her that night. He became distant, even to me. Not like we were close anyways and not like I cared but I was affected.

“Brother, is that you?” Leticia asked with shaky voice. I coughed out and cleared my throat.

“Leticia…”

“Leo, was that you? Like you just growled like an animal? A dog? ” She asked again.

“My voice sounded like that because I had a blockage in throat.”

“Huh!” I looked around as soon as I heard it. I turned back to see who said it.

“You could have looked for another excuse.” I heard again. I dropped the phone from ear and looked around with wandering eyes.

“Leo, I can’t hear what you are saying.”

“Leo..”

I turned deaf ears to her talks. I was so keen on knowing who had talked.

“Dummy!” It said again.

“Who are you?” I asked.

“And why can I hear your voice? Come out right now.” I ordered.

I heard a chuckle.

“You want to see me?” It asked with a ridiculous tone.

“Yes. Or why bother stay in the dark?” I asked.

“I am in your head, stupid.” It said.

“My head?” I asked.

“Ludicrous.” I exclaimed. “How can you be in my head?” I asked but got no reply. I swallowed lightly and looked around cautiously.

“Who was that?” I thought.

“Leo!” Leticia shouted my name. I flinched a little bit and picked my phone.

“Hey, Leticia.” I said even though I was not feeling myself.

“You are behaving weird, Leo. Come home and we will go see a doctor.” She said worriedly.

“I’m fine.” I said with a tone of uncertainty. True. I don’t know who was that that spoke and you except me to be good?

“But, you should..”

“Look Leticia, I am no longer a little boy and besides I am your elder brother.” I cut her off.

“Leo.”

“Leticia, I am fine here.” I said almost sternly.

I can’t tell her I met with dad. I know how much of a great fit she will throw.

“I will call you back later. Got some job to do.” I said and without response from her, I disconnected the call. I heaved a sigh of relief. Then again, a chuckle came. This prompted me and I glanced around in search of this voice.

Is my mind joking with me? I can hear the voice. Right?

I can’t be hallucinating.

Jeff’s POV

***********

Stupid!

All these years. I refused to talk to him. He hated me. Can you imagine?

Who hates their wolf? He declared his hatred for me openly.

He said he was a beast. He even went ahead to meet a witch to cut off our link but thanks to the fact that I had overpowered him and knocked him out, I spoke to the witch and she agreed not to do anything like that.

When he shifted, he was so weak that he needed rest but no. My stupid human even went ahead in running errands.

Like who does that?

But then, I was okay in staying in the secret. At least he continued living. We have never had or even said anything to each other.

Doesn’t he know I could talk?

Or he could hear me?

Well, I don’t blame him. Dad left us to fend for ourselves anyways. It must have been hard for him but who cares?

The only reason he could shift is because I could reach into his mind and see whatever he imagines or think.

He does not even know how to raise a mental block.

I could no longer take the disrespect from his- my sister, that was why I spoke up. He needed a tone of authority and I gave him just that. I could feel her get scared and shocked but who cares.

I decided to speak up. He turned at the age of eighteen. And now he is twenty-seven. Eight years. For eight years I stayed hidden. For eight years I stayed quiet. For eight years I protected him. Yet I got nothing in return.

And then she… I have always dreamed about her. I dreamed that she will be the one to turn up the feelings in him and he will realize that I could affect him.

But guess what? She did it another way. He was affected by what he saw that night. He could not wave it off.Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

He does not know the feeling but he felt down. He needs some lectures. And guess what? I will teach him.
