Cursed Alphas
"I brought you here," I look startled at the figure under the door frame of the small room I had landed in, "This place is protected, the wicked witch can't find you here,"
I look up at her "Why did you help us? what do you want now?" I ask exhausted with the turn of events, an enemy turns into a friend, the same friend then turnout out to be the enemy all along, and now this?
She walked into the small room with her long dress sweeping behind her, the witch from yesterday looked rather calm, she walked deeper into the room and crouched down in front of the unconscious Alejandro.
'My heart hurts while looking at him, all the bad things that he had to go through just to live a normal life '
She holds his head and closed her eyes, Alejandro vibrates a little as she keeps holding his head, I felt too weak to complain about it or fight her off.
I felt my body giving up, Alejandro's blood was too strong for me, a couple of drops worth of power, and it has had me shivering with the aftershocks. maybe this is what a druggist felt like, the rush leaving their body and all the weakness strikes in, it's draining and exhausting.
Maybe this is what Craig felt and maybe that's the reason he didn't chase after us.
I laid back on the wooden floor and turned my head to look at my mate, for the first time in my life I feel pity for him, this was an emotion that I have never felt for him but here it is, I recall his life and find only pain and suffering. His mother died the moment he was born, he was sent away from his father at a very young age, got kidnapped, and was tortured, and then he finally found love only to lose his memories and have a different personality controlling him.
the sudden urge of drowsy dizziness takes over me and I close my eyes giving in to the weakness.
I open my eyes when I feel movement in the room, again, I snap my eyes open and found a woman treating Alejandro's wounds. her back was facing me but I knew who it was I just don't know her name.
"Welcome back to the land of the living, " She said out loud walking towards me, I notice that we have been shifted to a different room "I gave him the antidote and the next step is yours, I hope you have rested enough for what's coming next," she said smiling.
I look at her confused "Why are you helping us?" she smiled again and nodded to the resting body of Alejandro
"I own it to him and his family, there is a reason he is suffering so much, " her vague answer confused me furthermore.
"I don't understand, " I sat up from the bed and watched her.
she sighed glancing at Alejandro, "I'm a white witch one of the very few left, We use to have a grand white witch who was like a leader in our coven, it's a legend that we have been transcribing for a very long time. her daughter fell in love with a Wolf, the wolf was the young alpha of a small pack. they were not mates but he pledged his love to her, things were going well for a few years until the young Alpha found his mate and things started going down the hill from there," she played with her fingers nervously.
"The Alpha's mate was a beautiful omega, he didn't realize how strong the mate bond was until it was too late. He changed after he met her, witches seemed to like a burden to him as time went by, long story short he left the witch and mated with his destined. our grand witch was furious but she was bound by a promise that she made with her daughter not to hurt him. the young witch couldn't live without her first love because we witches were born to fall in love once our entire life and we live for centuries, it's unfair but it's life. grand white witch enraged with the loss of her only child marched into the cave of the young Alpha,"
"She was blinded by the death of her only child and heir of the coven and found the little omega bearing the child of the betrayer, the vow she made with her daughter stayed even after she no longer exists but there was no one stopping her from harming their unborn child." she looked at Alejandro with a sad smile
"She cursed the first child of his family lineage, the first cursed alpha, she cursed them to never be able to live a happy with their families, and even if they did find their mates and have a family they would be left alone, their partner is supposed to leave the world before and everyone in their family lineage would die cold and alone, the deeds of our ancestors shouldn't affect the innocent, so this is my reason to help both of you, especially him, this child had it the hardest among all the others. I can feel the pain and suffering of his soul, I wanted to do this for a very long time but couldn't due to my imprisonment but this time, I want to do the right thing. lift the curse and release him of this burden which was never his to hold on." the sincerity oozing out of her was better than I had expected.
"I have already been fooled by a witch who claimed to help me but was trying to kill my mate instead, I can't say I believe you but I thank you for healing us and sympathizing with my mate, but we need to leave it's too dangerous and I'm running out of time." I move to get off the bed but she held my hand in hers. her blue eyes shining with guilt.
"You can't leave now, the wicked mage will kill both of you, and the worst will be unleashed into this world the moment he gets hold of Alejandro's powers, we need to separate him from that vengeance full spirit first " She holds my hand tighter "The antidote will help him relief from the spell but it doesn't guaranty he will wake up, there is something you need to do if you want to be with your mate," she continued to persuade me.
I was sold the moment she mentioned that her antidote would help him with the spell Craig put on him
"What do we need to do?" I asked her, she looked relieved with my answer.
"We need to free him from that spirit's hold, to do that we need you to drag his soul back to his rightful place, and lucky for him you have already marked him," her enthusiasm was remarkable, it would be great if it works.
"What do I have to do?" I asked her as we move forward sitting next to Alejandro's body,
"You have to mark him again make sure to bite him deeper this time, the power of his blood and your mating mark will enhance its effect to break out of the evil spirit's hold," she said smiling at me.
I sigh contemplating whether or not I should believe her, I lean to face him. the peaceful look on his face made me take back every bad thing that ever happened to him, the innocence in his expression was refreshing and unusual
I cherish the smooth skin of his face and leaned closer to kiss his warm soft lips pouring all of my love and care into them. with one thought in my head, 'It's going to be alright, he's got me now,' I kiss that junction between where his neck and shoulder meet. the old mark was fading away turning into faint fine lines.
"I love you, now and forever" after a little whisper of love I lean closer to the mark, and kissed the same spot once again I bare my canines and dig deeper into his soft skin, I close my eyes feeling the rush of electricity coursing through me as our body mends back together
I rip myself away from him and wipe my bloody mouth, the dizziness from the aftershock was overwhelming but I held on, The witch and I, we keep looking at Alejandro, few seconds go by and there was no change, I turn away from the scene and make a run for it. I needed to let my wolf out so he could express his emotions his way. he wanted to howl to the moon in anguish for not saving his mate once again.
"ah, I had a very bad dream," I stopped in my steps that were striding away, I turn my head to look behind me and find Alejandro covering his eyes from the lamp. I turned to face him with my heartbeat pumping a hundred miles per hour. "You were trying to run away from me, again " He let go of his face and looked at me challenging me to argue.
I chuckled at that with tears running down my face, I run to him and lock him in my embrace. he laughed before hugging me back, he sniffed my hair and pulled me closer to his body.
I pulled away from him and looked deep into his eyes " Do you remember anything from a couple of years ago?" the fear in my voice was evident as I watch his face analyzing his facial expressions
He smiled before kissing my lips lightly " I remember the first time I met you, I remember kissing you, fighting with you, fighting for you, I remember everything. I also remember rejecting you, I can never forgive myself for that, you can punish me any way you like," he bows his head ashamed, I lift his head and move my thumb around his well-defined cheekbones and smile.
"You can repent over it by never leaving me ever again, not even for a second " he smiled and held my hand in his and kissed my palm.
"Then let's do that," We both laughed at that and drowned in our world.
the sudden realization of the third person's presence struck me and I turned back to see her, she wasn't there thought just like she had appeared, she disappeared as well, she was gone just like she had appeared
