Alpha's Cursed Mate novel Chapter 38

Estelle's POV

Anthony's brown eyes glowed gold in the night, and he was a little defensive. Firm muscles tensed in his shirt, and his mild amber scent was mixed with the sulfurous smell of gunpowder.

He asked me, "You're supposed to be in the Eclipse wolf pack, why are you showing up here?"

"Someone asked me to meet them here." Lying to a wary Alpha was not a good idea, and I had no choice but to tell part of the truth.

"Do you know that this is the border of our wolf pack? Who told you to come?"

"Sorry, I can't talk about that." Of course I couldn't tell him that a vampire had asked me to meet him here.

The atmosphere between us was stagnant, and the werewolf behind Anthony was restless. The werewolf looked almost two meters tall, and his thick arms and thighs looked very powerful. anthony looked small next to him, not to mention I looked like a little girl in front of him.

I held my hands up to my ears to show I had no animosity, "I didn't know this was your territory, I can leave right now."

Anthony finally let his guard down, "This really isn't my territory to be exact." He pointed to a wooded area behind the lake, "That's behind it."

Today was unlucky, I planned to sneak home before Lance noticed. "Looks like the guy I'm waiting for isn't coming, I'm going home."

"It's not safe here, you can come with me to our territory first. Wait for your wolf pack to come and get you." Anthony said to me. He was still the same warm and sunny person, and my nervousness was soothed.

Suddenly, I felt something watching us. anthony and his men didn't seem to notice, and he was asking me if I wanted to go to his wolf pack.

"Look out!" I rushed forward and pounced on Anthony as a miserable white paw grazed my face.

The werewolves behind Anthony reacted and snapped the vampire's neck. But that wasn't all. more and more vampires came out of the darkness. anthony got up from the ground, pulling me up in the process.

"Thanks." He said to me as he looked around.

"What's going on here?" I asked him.

"That's what I call 'dangerous', be careful they don't catch you." He said to the strong werewolf, "William! Take Estelle back."

"He's my Beta, you stay close to him and he'll take you to safety."

"What about you?"

"Don't worry about me."

The vampires slowly gathered around me, and William took me by the hand and ran. My wrists hurt as he squeezed them, and I saw William's face in the moonlight. His expression was as steely as a rock, and I guess he must have been angry. He should have been protecting his Alpha by now. But he couldn't disobey Anthony's orders.

After running not too far, I suddenly smelled a special blood scent in the air. A different aroma from vampires or ordinary werewolves, I had smelled a similar scent on Lance. So I stopped directly in my tracks.

"What are you doing?" William looked at me angrily as he pulled me to keep me running.

I pulled him in the opposite direction, "Anthony may be in danger."

"What do you mean? How do you know?"

Of course I couldn't tell him because I was a vampire, "Anyway, I just know that we should go back."

William hesitated, he certainly cared more about his Alpha than my life, "But I received orders to take you back."

"If he's dead, what do you care about this 'bullshit' order?" I was a little anxious, it would be a while before we made it back.

William looked at me for a moment, then made up his mind to run back with me. I followed the scent of blood brought by the wind and when we ran to the lake, all that was left there was a large group of vampire corpses.

Lance's POV

Estelle confused and fascinated me, and werewolf hybrids are not uncommon. Many wolf packs allow werewolves and humans to live together. Estelle has always been special, you can see her from the crowd at a glance.

It's not just because of her beautiful blue eyes and slender figure. There was always a sense of detachment about her, which belonged to a truly independent soul. She had her own ideas and insistence, and I couldn't help but fall in love with her like that. Even if she is half vampire.

To get Estelle out of the darkness, I told Estelle the truth about everything. Including the death of my parents, whose shadows I had been living under. Before my father cut his own neck, I hated him to the core. Because my mother was saying how much she loved him and that she would forgive him before he killed her.

However my father did not forgive himself. His wolf got out of control and bit his own mate. i couldn't imagine myself doing that to Estelle, so i took insurance measures. I would rather die myself than hurt Estelle.

I remembered that mark on her wrist, Noah the bastard, who had fooled me with a vampire's blindfold. This vampire deviant, a vampire who mixed with werewolf and human society, he was disliked by his family. But they couldn't dispose of him because he was the strongest warrior in the Toreador purebloods. Next time I will kill him. No, there will never be a next time.

With vampires coming back after decades of being out of our sight, I could only prepare for the war that might happen afterwards with previous records. And for some reason, I'm certain Estelle is at the center of this event. Her identity encompasses many things. But the most important thing for me was to keep her safe.

The low-level vampire attacks are happening among more wolves who seem to be lurking on the edge of the pack. My informant said: Any wolves that fall alone are surrounded by packs of vampires, and no wolf pack can find the person behind the control of the low level vampires. The low-level vampires are not in their right mind, and even if you catch one you won't be able to ask for any information.

Now the Legion is the safest place in the whole north thanks to our tight patrols and border guards. And even the vampire nobles wouldn't dare to take it easy on my wolf pack. I would absolutely trample down their palaces. But not so with Alpha Anthony's wolf pack. Ethan sent word that more and more low-level vampires were surrounding his pack.

Just as I was waiting to hear from him, my guards called me urgently. They said that Estelle was missing.

I immediately called Estelle through the mate link, but she blocked my spirit. When I arrived at the villa, her window was still open.

"What are you doing for food?" I grabbed the guard by his collar and lifted him up. If something happened to Estelle, I would absolutely kill him.

"Sorry, Alpha." My aura attacked him uncontrollably, blood bubbling out of his nose.

"Get to her!" I tossed the guards aside. There was still a faint scent of orange blossoms in the air, and I followed the smell to my MATE, hoping it would lead me to Estelle.
