The Alpha Who Cursed His Mate novel Chapter 46

"There's something else you and Mum need to know, Dad," I say.

"What!"

"Moss… is dead. I killed him. He shifted and came at me, intending to kill me. He would have taken Nina back,"

"You did what you had to do to protect our pack members. I'm sure the wolf council will understand,"

"That's not all. His mother was there she said we would pay for this. That she should have killed my mother long ago and that she will kill me too. You must know who she is?"

Astrid and Ryker give each other a worried look.

"Did you see her wolf? Any of their wolves? What colour were they?" Astrid asks.

"Moss's wolf was brown with grey ears and a grey tail, and when his mother shifted, she was small, brown and scruffy with a grey patch on her side,"

"Vanessa!" Astrid and Ryker say together in shock.

Ryker looks at Leon.

"Have double the warriors at each post in case Vanessa tries to attack us,"

"I don't think Vanessa would be capable of much harm on her own, though?" I say.

"Don't underestimate her son. Knowing Vanessa, she will have more rogues somewhere," Astrid says.

I leave the table and go up to my room. May's bedroom door is ajar. I hear Nina informing May that they are both banned from using magic.

"This is so unfair!" May says.

I continue to my room and close the door. I fall backwards onto my bed and stare up at the roof.

After a while, there was a knock at my door. It's May.

"Um, hey, Nina is wondering if she could borrow the spellbook from you, please?"

"She knows you are both banned from casting magic and spells. So I can't loan either of you the book. Even I shouldn't have the book,"

"Please, Magnus, let her borrow it just for tonight?"

I sigh, walk over to my school bag, unzip it, and take the spellbook out.

"I will give it to her myself,"

"Okay," she smiles and follows me.

I stop and face May.

"Alone…' I say.

"Oh… I'll just be going to my room then," she says, annoyed.

I knock on Nina's door. It surprised her to see me, but she saw I held the book in my arms.
