My Alpha, My Curse 36
Adrian’s POV “So it’s happening is that what you’re saying? We’re on the verge of being invaded?” Derek asked me warily as we were walking back into the pack house after coming back from the edge of the territory where the rogues were spotted earlier. I sighed heavily and said in a hard tone “Yes. It’s happening a lot faster than I anticipated that’s why we’re going to triple the amount of patrol starting from tonight. We need a proper strategy to defend the land and it can’t get planned in a matter of one day. We need to make it very hard for them to find their weak spot and buy us some time to plan properly” “We should also inform Alec about the situation. He’s short on warriors. He can’t defend his territory” said Derek anxiously. “That’s another weird thing. If they know about my pack they must know about Alec’s too. But instead of going for the easy kill, they’re circling around my territory. They could easily attack Alec’s pack right now and they would probably manage to brea
My Alpha, My Curse 37
Rhea’s POVHazel yells at me fumingly “Well speak dammit! She fucking insulted us just to get us punished or sentenced to death! She did that on purpose!”“Even if she did, you had no fucking right to do this to me! You were going to kill her! You pushed me out of control! Nothing I say is going to save us because we’re guilty. It’s over Hazel” I told her harshly.She whimpered in pain. Guilt and blame flooding through me from her as she realized that I was right about everything I just said.I may have initiated the attack with my own hands and was blinded by rage and hurt too, but I wasn’t going to kill her like Hazel was going to do.Adrian was staring hard at me, waiting for me to speak for myself and defend my actions. But I chose to remain quiet. I wasn’t going to apologize to that bitch and ask for forgiveness but I wasn’t going to defend myself either because I was at fault.“We’re not the only ones at fault you know. She plotted this, the alpha at least has to know that, Rhea
My Alpha, My Curse 38
Adrian’s POVI never knew a person who felt this much pain before until now. I didn’t even know someone who could take this much pain and still be alive until now.She was lying in my arms, completely shattered and baring her heart open to me at last.I was angry at her when I stood in front of her. I didn’t have any physical violent tendency when I approached her but I saw her stiffen when I moved nonetheless, she was expecting a punishment.I only wanted to demand the truth from her but when my eyes noticed her split lip and saw the blood slowly trickling down her chin, my hand acted on its own.It moved to wipe away the blood, and she cringed away from me very slightly before she forced herself to stay in position while her eyes instantly braced for the pain she was expecting to receive and started to water. It shattered me to pieces. How much she’s used to the idea of being punished right away. Because that’s all she’s ever known from her former alpha.My face instantly softened a
My Alpha, My Curse 39
Adrian’s POVShe looked into my eyes emotionally and asked “I know I smelled like a rogue the first time you saw me in the forest. But….do I still smell like one till now?”“That stupid Sophia woman!” Snarled Lennox in my head darkly.I tucked a loose strand of her hair behind her ear gently and looked her intensely in the eyes as I said truthfully “You never smelled like a rogue to me, Rhea. Do you know that the second I portaled into the forest that night, I smelled the most intoxicating smell I’ve ever smelt in my life. My wolf went crazy with how alluring your scent was, and it still is. Your scent is an addiction I would never recover from, Rhea. Believe me, there is no whiff of a rogue smell within you at all”Her eyes watered as she asked in a small voice “What do I smell like to you?”“The most beautiful, sweet, and delicate cherry I will ever smell. So sugary, so mouthwatering, that I feel like I’m drunk just from breathing you in” I said softly.She stared at me with so much
My Alpha, My Curse 40
Rhea’s POV“If you’re my curse, I’m the luckiest cursed son of a bitch in this whole universe”How deeply this sentence burned through me in the most vulnerable place within me cannot even be described in words.It touched the core of my heart and nestled itself in there forevermore.It lit a match of fire back into me and the impossible thing I told him would never happen, happened. Scattered dead pieces of me sparked back to life. Reborn again from his vows and promises to me.“I accept you here and now as my mate, Rhea. I’m not pushing for a mark here, we still have a long time for that and I’m not going to rush anything unless it comes spontaneously from both of us, whenever that may happen. I just want us both to be on the same page when we leave this room. I accept you, will you accept me back, or reject me?” he said strongly.Hazel was whimpering in my head very emotionally, very affected by Adrian’s words as she begged me heartily “Please, Rhea. We cannot survive without him a
My Alpha, My Curse 41
Adrian’s POV“OK, that’s it. The meeting is over go ahead and apply everything we just agreed upon” I spoke firmly as I stood up from my chair and headed for the door.I’ve been sitting here for three hours with Derek, My lead warrior, lead instructors, Alec, and his advisors as well.We agreed on an initial strategy to triple the amount of patrol and rotate them between the two packs since Alec was short on fighters in the mean time.We also agreed on installing motion/heat sensors with surveillance cameras outside the territory to gain a smart early warning system and provide as much time as we can to gather forces if an invasion ever happened.“Alpha” Derek called to me as he tried to catch up with me while I was walking out of the meeting room.I was in a hurry to go check on Rhea and see if she was still sleeping. But I stopped for him and turned around as I gathered he had something important to say on his mind.I noticed everyone leaving the room and going on their own way exce
My Alpha, My Curse 42
Adrian’s POVI don’t know for how long I stood there watching here clinging to my sweater but I couldn’t get enough of this adoring scene.I can’t wait to be the one she holds so dearly to her in her sleep.I can’t wait to see love bloom in her heart for me and for her to miss me whenever I’m gone like I miss her and think about her whenever we’re apart.She stirred in her sleep and I froze in my place next to her bed side.I know I look like a creep watching her sleep like this but I can’t help it. She is so fascinating.I didn’t want to get out and pretend that I haven’t been watching over her. I want her to know how attached I’m becoming to spending more time with her. So I stayed in my place but knelt down to her level on the floor as I whispered softly “Wake up, Rhea”Her eyes fluttered before they opened sleepily and fixed on me.She smiled at me softly as she mumbled “Adrian”I adore my name coming from her lips in every tone she uses.“How did you sleep?” I asked huskily as my
My Alpha, My Curse 43
Rhea’s POV“I can’t believe I won from the first time!” I squealed excitedly as Adrian and I were walking down the hallway back to my bedroom.It's been three days since my melt down in his arms back at the training room.Three of the happiest days of my entire life.Adrian has been so soft and gentle with me. Not once did he go back to being an arrogant ass who looks down on me as if I’m much lesser than him.It made hope bloom for the future between us. Hope grew especially because I haven’t had any nightmares since I started sleeping with Adrian’s scent in my arms.Every night before I sleep, I keep inhaling his addicting smell through the sweater he gave to me when I shifted until I fall asleep, and I wake up the next day without any night terrors. I didn’t give it back to him and he hasn’t asked for it.The absence of those haunting memories did wonders to my personality as I started being a little more open, less guarded and scared, and more joyful in the presence of others.Oth
