The Alpha Who Cursed His Mate novel Chapter 50

"And now you're telling me I won't get my wolf until you find your mate and fall in love with her?" She cries, "Talk about a slap in the face, Magnus,"

"I'm sorry, Nina, I don't understand why the Moon Goddess would even take anything I say literally, anyway?"

"You have more muscle than brains. Do you know that?"

"What do you mean?"

"Your mother is from the Moonstone pack. She is a descendant of the Moon Goddess, which makes you a descendant also! So, of course, the Moon Goddess will take her descendants seriously! Ergh!" Nina stomps her feet and storms off.

I chase after her.

"I'm sorry, that never crossed my mind," I fall to my knees, "I'm the biggest idiot ever to exist," Nina stops running and turns to listen to me. 'We were the best of friends once. I thought the pack saw me as a big joke. I pushed you away and ignored you for years because of it. Then I made things even worse. I cursed you, and now you don't have a wolf. And you won't be able to sense your mate until I find mine. All I ever wanted was to protect you and keep you safe, but all I've done is cause you hurt and pain. I'm so sorry. Will you ever forgive me?" I ask.

Nina morbidly approaches me and falls to her knees in front of me. Our knees are touching. She takes my hands and holds them in hers. I can feel her hands trembling.

We gaze at each other with tear-filled eyes. Nina bursts into tears and wraps her arms around my neck. I hold her tight and cry into her soft brown hair.

"All those years, you say you ignored me. You never did. Every day we had breakfast and dinner together, you would stare at me with a longing in your eyes. When you climbed trees and swam through the lake with the others, you would always look to see if I had followed. When you saw me, your lips would curl into a smile, which you would quickly hide. The days I watched, and you couldn't see me. You were miserable and agitated towards the others. Throughout high school, every girl would try to get your attention, but you would still sit near me and watch me. Even Claire and May were always catching you staring at me. I could constantly sense your eyes on me as if you were caressing me with your own hands. As for the curse, you were only a child venting. If you had known it would become a curse, I know those words would have never left your lips. I forgive you, Magnus," she says.

I squeeze her tighter and press my face further into her hair and neck.

"Thank you," I whisper.

We part and wipe the tears from our faces.

"What do we do now?" I ask.

"The only thing left to do is make things right by finding your mate to break this curse,"

"We have to visit all the packs. Let's start with the Starlight pack east from here,"

We wait a couple of hours for the sun to rise.

Without warning, Nina grabs my arm, "Wait…,"
