The Alpha Who Cursed His Mate novel Chapter 41

I hear a moan and a mumble and run towards the sound. Pushing a couple of bodies aside, I find Nina.

"Nina, I'm here. You're safe now," I say, untying her wrists. She squints her eyes, letting them adjust. The look of relief shows on her face. Nina sits up, lunges into my lap, wraps her arms around my neck, and cries into my chest.

"You came for me. You found me,"

"Of course, we came for you, Nina. I would search the ends of the Earth for you,"

She cries even louder and holds me tighter.

"I thought I'd never see you again,"

Leon approaches.

"Dad!" Nina stands up and runs into his arms.

"My baby girl, I was so worried,"

Nina looks over to May, looking at the whiplash on Gianna's back.

"May, Gianna," she says, releasing herself from Leon.

May and Nina hug each other.

"I thought you hated me?" May says.

"Although you have been a horrible sister to me all my life, I'm glad you're here."

Nina checks Gianna's back, "It's already healing," she says.

"I've had my wolf for a month now, which means I heal quickly," Gianna says.

"Are you okay?" I ask Gianna.

"I will be now that Moss and his rogues are dead," she says.

"How long have you been captive here for?" I ask.

"Over a year… I think anyway. The rogues would never tell me what day or month it was,"

"What pack did they take you from?"

"I was never in a pack. I lived in an orphanage, and they kicked me and anyone else who turned sixteen that year. I spent a year living on the streets until one night, when I was about to fall asleep, a man approached me, sniffing the air. He smiled at me, said, “She-wolf,” and took me away to join them. They wanted me to join them for breeding purposes. I tried to escape many times. I didn't want to be there. I was better off in the streets than here," she frowns.

"Gianna, we would love you to join our pack, a real pack where you will have freedom and friendships?" I offer.

"You would want me to come with you?" She says with a raised eyebrow.

"Yes, we would,"
