The Alpha Who Cursed His Mate novel Chapter 27

"Wait, wait, wait, hold on a minute! There is a secret room in the library? And who is Pipsqueak?" Josie asks.

"Yes, the library keeps all the forbidden and banned books there. It was like a military operation to get in there without being caught. Pipsqueak is a friend from school. You all know her,"

Everyone gives each other a confused look. Zak passes the spellbook to Flint.

"I read in this book that curses can be made from relics and placed in bedrooms. So Nina and I searched her room when you guys knocked and startled us. Nina slipped, I caught her, and you all saw the rest,"

"Who would want to put a curse on Nina, though? It makes little sense," Josie frowns.

"We don't know. We are trying to do what we can in the meantime to break it. No one else knows about this but our parents and Pipsqueak. Mother thinks Nina's life will be in danger if the pack finds out she is cursed, and it's affecting me, the future Alpha,"

Everyone gasps and stares at Nina with worry.

"I'll be fine as long as we keep this to ourselves, and besides, nothing has changed about me. It hasn't affected me yet, anyway,"

"If anyone notices anything that could be related to the curse, then let me know straight away." I say.

Everyone nods, and we part ways and go to bed for the night.

I'm early for breakfast for the first time. Now pondering, I hadn't thought much about it until now. On your Eighteenth at midnight, we have our first shift and meet our wolves. The shift is involuntary, and the wolf takes over completely.

"Mum, Dad, if I already had my first shift, does that mean I won't shift at midnight tomorrow, or will I still involuntarily shift? I'm not supposed to shift. Remember to avoid the pain. Last time, I ended up with that terrible fever for days,"

Astrid and Ryker stare at each other and mind-link for a few minutes. Then, when they finish their private conversation, they look at me.

"We hadn't thought about the fact you might shift tomorrow night. Unfortunately, there isn't much we can do other than have the pack doctor nearby and wait," Ryker says.

Flint and Josie enter the dining room. Astrid and Ryker change the subject, as they don't know Josie and Flint are aware of everything now.

"You might meet your mate as soon as today," Astrid smiles.

"Yeah... Mum, maybe." I say unenthused.
