Alpha's Cursed Luna novel Chapter 64

ALEXANDER

I immediately let go of her shoulders. My brows still furrowed at her in confusion.

I made a lazy step back whilst Linda stepped forward from her position on the wall.

After inhaling a few deep breaths and smoothing down the wrinkles of her skirt, she spoke.

"I'm a doomsayer."

People in the room gasped in open disbelief at her sudden confession.

She lowers her head, refusing to meet my curious gaze pointed at the look of guilt evident in her face.

I straightened my posture and squared my shoulders, trying to get my shit together if I wanted to find my mate fast.

Blinking, I tried to erase that image of Eleanor pointing her fingers towards me as I collapsed on the floor. That image where we were surrounded with a large, heavy pool of blood that rippled with her own tears.

I clenched my fists by my sides then drew in a deep breath in a bid to calm my ass down before my wolf takes over and g at her.

"Tell me all you know," I command, my voice sounding rough and husky, making her shiver and purse her lips into a thin line.

Seconds passed with us staring at each other in complete silence. I could hear the employees whisper about themselves while they so curiously watched the scene unfold. I roll my eyes inwardly, not really that concerned to know people were watching us since I entered through the door.

However, seeing the expression on Linda's face let me know she wanted some privacy. After all, doomsayers have long been hated in these past few centuries.

Grunting, I grabbed her hand and strode back towards the car. Ignoring the curious gazes of each employee standing dumbstruck in the shop.

Opening the car door, I plopped her down the passenger seat before striding to the other side. I hopped right into the car and closed the door with a loud bang.

"Comfortable?" I asked.

Linda let out a sigh of both defeat and relief before she turned to face me.

"When you saved me from that guy, I told you I was exiled by my pack. I told you that they hated me for being a rogue ever since Andrew found me in that cave."

I nodded attentively, not taking my eyes off her face. She bit her lower lip as though hesitating whether or not to speak her next words.

"But I didn't tell you everything." She says.

I furrowed my brows, noticing her gulp and study my reaction.

"As far as I know, I'm the last doomsayer. Doomsayers have the ability to predict the worst disasters that could happen in the future. In most times, these are disasters that lead to a person's death. Other times, it's the worst event that will change a person, forever."

Suddenly, my father's voice entered my mind saying the same thing.

He mentioned the name several times in the past, but I just didn't pay attention to it any more than I would have wanted to now. I shrugged off the feeling of guilt and tried to focus on Linda's voice.

"When you saw Eleanor for the first time, I had a bad feeling. I thought I could shrug it off, but when I finally touched her, I saw..." She stopped there, looking at me hesitantly.

"Saw what?"

She heaved a short breath before opening her mouth to speak.

"Chaos." She whispered.

Dumbstruck, I opened my mouth but no words came out.

"All packs were raging at war, and some packs were fighting against each other. Alpha, you were there. Protecting her.

"..In my vision, Eleanor stood on the pile of dead bodies in that war, and to me...It looked like..." She paused, making me furrow my brows closer. My heart beat sped up a thousand times faster the moment she uttered the words,

"She killed the whole pack."

My wolf's growl rumbled with a vengeance inside my chest. Rage burned across my skin at the thought of my own people dying a merciless death under my rule.

However, to think that Eleanor...

"That's impossible. She's wolf-less. How could she--"

Just then, I felt my heart beat incredibly fast. I tossed my hands in the air out of instict, gripping the wheel. Panting as my breath becomes heavier and heavier in each second thay pass.

Why do I suddenly feel breathless?

Closing my eyes, I tried to make sense of what was happening to my body when Linda spoke.

"It's the mate bond. You can feel when the other's in danger. I'm so sorry, Alpha."

Guilt flashed in her eyes as she reached out to hold my arm.

"What did you do, Linda?" I grunted, pressing my forehead to the steering wheel whilst she rubbed my arm up and down in slow motion.

"I was the one..." I hear her gulp before continuing her words.
