The Alpha Who Cursed His Mate novel Chapter 51

"And who is this beautiful young she-wolf you have with you?" Alpha Edward asks me.

"This is Nina, she is the daughter of my pack's commander,"

"I see," he smiles.

"Please take a seat, both of you." He gestures his hands to the table. We take a chair and sit at the table. Nina sits beside me as we face Alpha Edward. Beta Ryan fills the glasses up with wine and hands one to Alpha Edward, then Nina and me.

"Beta Ryan tells me you are here to search for your mate?"

"Yes, Alpha Edward. I am,"

"Well, aren't you an eager Alpha to be wanting to find your mate so soon?" He chuckles.

"Very eager, Alpha Edward,"

"I see. Let's drink, and I'll have the she-wolves called up." He mind-links Ryan to ready the unmated she-wolves.

We finish our wine and follow Alpha Edward out the door.

Two dozen she-wolves blush and twirl their hair as soon as they see me approaching. I walk up to each one. My wolf is calm, and I don't feel the pull from the mate bond with them. I shake my head no at Alpha Edward. The girls voice their disappointment that Magnus isn't their mate. A pigeon flies over my head and lands on the stone windowsill of the packhouse.

"Hmm, it's a messenger bird," Alpha Edward says and takes the paper scroll from the bird's leg.

He scrunches his eyebrows as he reads the note.

"You never told me rogues attacked your pack?"

"Oh, didn't I?" I say nervously.

"We are sending this letter out to all packs to inform them that Shadow Crest was under attack through the night by a pack of rogues who followed the orders from Vanessa. Who you may all remember as Alpha Zenith's daughter from Shady Crest many years ago?

If anyone sees Magnus, please tell him we are okay and that we hope to see him and Nina home soon. Regards Alpha Ryker and the Luna, Astrid."

"I'm sorry, Alpha Edward, when we were under attack, Nina was in great danger. So I had to leave Shadow Crest to keep her safe,"

"Well, now you can return since you know Shadow Crest is okay," he smiles.

"It's not that easy, Alpha Edward. Nina will remain in danger until I find my mate. Until then, neither of us can return,"

"I don't understand how finding your mate will keep Nina safe?"

"It's complicated and information I cannot share without further endangering Nina. We thank you for your time and must make our way to the next pack. I'm sure it won't be long until you hear the rumours of why Nina is in danger. If you could reply to my parent's message and let them know I will return once I find my fated mate? We would appreciate it."

Alpha Edward nods, and we take our leave.

Once we are out of sight, Nina grabs my arm, "Skedaddle Dash," she says, and we port halfway through the woods.

"We should set up camp for the night here?" She says as I vomit in the bushes.
