The Alpha Who Cursed His Mate novel Chapter 10

"I'll meet you in English, Claire. I just got to stop by the men's room,"

"Okay, Boo-boo, don't take too long now," she says, giving me a wink and blowing me a kiss. I try to hold the shudder as my body screams to release it. I rush down the corridor and find Paul before entering Visual Art class.

"Hey, Paul,"

"Yo-Yo, what's up, Magnus?"

"Um, not much. I have a favour to ask,"

"Oh, ok,"

"The new guy. I don't know what it is about him, but I can just sense something isn't right. Can you monitor Nina? I want to monitor her welfare around him. Being the future Alpha and all, it will be my duty to keep my pack safe, so why not now?"

"Sure, Magnus, I'll monitor both of them."

"Great, and Paul, don't mention this to anyone, okay? It's just between you and me. Got it?"

"Got it," he nods.

I run back to English and sit in my seat between Claire and Zak, with Flint beside Zak. We have to write an essay; I struggle to concentrate. Instead, I think of Moss and Nina.

"Everything okay, Boo-boo?" Claire asks.

Zak and Flint snigger at the nickname she gave me. I elbow Zak hard enough he flies into Flint. It shuts them up from laughing at me.

"Yup, fine, just struggling to concentrate is all."

"Oh, my Boo-boo, do you have a headache? I can finish the essay for you?"

"Um yeah, it's a headache… sure," I say, sliding my essay to her."

I put my hand up.

"Yes, Magnus?"

"Um, I need to go to the men's room,"

"Okay, but be quick,"

"Okay, Mrs Lofts,"

"Oh, Boo-boo, you had just been to the men's room. Is it the runs?" she asks in front of the entire class.

I welcomed the hole that opened up and swallowed me whole yesterday to reappear and swallow me again.
