My Alpha, My Curse 25
Adrian’s POVI sighed in relief as we stepped out of the coffee shop where we were meeting with possible investors for a new project. We’ve been in there for four hours and it was taking everything in me not to cut it short and get back to the pack house.We were still fresh out of war, alpha Victor might have already met with other rogue packs trying to gain back his strength and could be plotting his way to take us out. I didn’t want to be away from the pack for that long in case something happens.“Away from the pack or away from our mate?” mused Lennox in my head.I groaned internally. To say Rhea didn’t cross my mind more than once during this time would be a total lie. She crossed it many, many times in the span of four hours. Too many. I found myself spacing out in the middle of our boring business conversation and going back to when she sat in my lap trustfully and allowed me to feed her myself. The way her face glowed when she tasted food or her eyes glistened when she gazed
My Alpha, My Curse 26
Adrian’s POVThere was no way I crossed her mind even once the whole time I was gone.I bet she didn’t even feel the four and a half hours in the company of my brother the way I felt them pass excruciatingly slow.I was in a hurry I admit to myself because I missed her scent, and those green eyes that contain so many things hiding in them, so many secrets and battles.But as I stood there watching them sitting so close and content, as I saw her tense up and change her whole demeanor upon my entrance, I felt like I was intruding rather than joining. And it made the jealousy I never knew or felt before her explode like a damn volcano inside me. I hated it, I even hated her for stirring that feeling towards my one and only brother. I knew she personally did nothing to stir up that feeling, but her mere existence was reason enough.I shouldn’t be feeling this way. I barely know her. I barely talked to her. But it bothers me that despite that, I believe I have the right to be jealous.“Hey
My Alpha, My Curse 27
Adrian’s POVI allowed myself to hold her by wrapping my arms around her delicately, resting one hand on her waist and the other on the side of her hip.Again, I had that intense feeling that I was now complete and whole.I looked into her eyes and saw her gazing at me with an intensity that sent shivers into my heart. Like she was trying really hard to see and read into the depth of my soul.I waited for her to say something, anything. I could see she had so much on her mind. So much to ask and say about herself. But she didn’t say a thing. And after a while, I realized that she won’t.I cut off the connection between us by shifting my eyes to the filled plate in front of us and removed my hands from her body.While still looking at the plate, I asked firmly “Which is your dominant hand?”“The left one” she answered quietly.“If you’re using both the knife and the fork to cut into something, the dominant hand will be holding the knife and the fork will be held in the other hand. Do i
My Alpha, My Curse 28
Rhea’s POVI cannot believe the arrogant asshole of an alpha just apologized to me heartily.I thought he was incapable of such a thing. That it was way beneath him to admit to making a mistake or apologizing to me of all people. A rogue he looked down on just this morning before the break of dawn.But I was obviously as wrong about him as he was wrong about me.I looked into his pain filled eyes full of remorse and guilt and found myself believing him wholeheartedly. I searched for a sliver of doubt, I searched for that hatred I had for him, but I didn’t find any trace of it.Had he been someone else other than my mate, would those feelings go missing too, or would they linger?His thumb wiped away the tears falling on my left cheek gently and brought his other hand to wipe away the other side as well.He looked at me with a tender expression, my heart melted in reaction to it and to the wonderful feelings his hands on my cheeks were stirring inside me.“You still don’t know anything
My Alpha, My Curse 29
Adrian’s POVHer eyes were filled with a sad emotion.I don’t know why she is refusing to fully open up to me.We were going somewhere when she started telling me how afraid she is of me and how hurt she was by my harsh words the first time we met. But somewhere along the way, she shut down on me all of a sudden.Maybe I shouldn’t have told her that she was starting to take a special place in my heart? It was still very early for that, I probably scared her off. Great, Adrian! You ruined things before they even started! I chastised myself.My wolf Lennox speaks in a hard tone “Remember when she said just now ‘I’m not going to feel anything for him or anyone else’, does that include us as well?”That stopped me short, I didn’t catch that meaning until Lennox just pointed it out to me.“Because you’re going to leave at the end of the month?” I asked her tightly.“Yes” she said in a hard tone.“Why won’t you give this a real chance? I’m trying here, why won’t you?” I ask in frustration.
My Alpha, My Curse 30
Adrian’s POVI awake abruptly from my restful sleep, feeling like my heart is catching on fire.I get up to a sitting position and my hand flies to my chest instantly, trying to make sense of what I was feeling and what brought on that sensation that I rarely ever felt before. It took a few seconds to realize that it wasn’t really my heart burning with a fiery blaze but Rhea’s. If I could only get a glimpse of her emotions, her pain must be a hundred times worse than what I’m getting from my end of the bond.My eyes instantly water at that realization and my chest contracts in a pain of its own for that unbearable amount of suffering for an eighteen year old girl“What’s going on with her?” Lennox whimpered in pain.I shook my head “I don’t know, maybe she’s having a nightmare or something” I said tightly.I moved out of bed, put on the clothes I discarded on the chair earlier, and headed towards her room in a matter of seconds.I hesitated when I reached her room. If I go in, she wil
My Alpha, My Curse 31
Adrian’s POVMy tears streamed down my face unwillingly.I never expected to witness something as horrible as that scene on the bathroom floor. I knew she must have had problems and struggles, but I did not expect it to reach this far. I did not expect her to be so damaged like this and that was my own stupid ignorance to have never expected something like this, to have never even thought about it.I was too self absorbed with my own annoyance that my mate was a savage rogue, I was angry at the moon goddess for giving me this cursed mate. But what about her dammit! I never stopped to truly think about her as a person that’s been through unimaginable pain to reach the point of hurting herself in that way to deal. I never saw that coming because I was too busy hating what she was.I am a selfish bastard! No wonder she doesn’t want to open up to me. She knew it from the start. That I would never understand her. That I would never consider to help her or stand by her side. That I would ne
My Alpha, My Curse 32
Rhea’s POVWhen we walked into the dining room, I noticed only two plates on the table for me and the alpha, just like last night’s dinner.My chest filled with warmth, knowing he was doing this on purpose for my sake alone. He could sense my self consciousness over my ongoing struggle with eating the proper way and wanted to save me the embarrassment I’ll feel in front of the others.I sat down silently on my chair and stared at the breakfast laid in front of us. Still so many new things I never saw before in my life.Adrian took his time pointing out the various plates on the table and naming them to me, before we started eating.I was still struggling with cutting into things but was getting better at it.To be honest, I was putting on a show for him. I actually didn’t have that much of an appetite despite the many delicious smelling items in front of me. Truthfully, I had a horrible night last night. I was far from okay, I was barely holding myself together in front of him.I had
