Alpha’s Cursed Mate

**************

Leo’s POV

**************

“Rose.” I shook her limp body as worry washed over my features. I was scared. So scared of losing her. She… She was lifeless and that scared the shit out of me.

Ciara came rushing in with a cup of water in her hand. I looked up at her and pleaded with her with my eyes to at least wake her up for me.

It all happened last night…

I remember falling on the bed and also sleeping off but not, Rose leaving me alone in the room. Her whimper was all it took for me to awake. She called out to me with a cry.

I instantly stood up from the bed and practically ran out of the room. I saw her lying on the floor, lifeless and her breath itched. Sweats rolled down my forehead in beads as I took in her features. I was scared. She was my mate. Jeff was yelling at me to pick her up and move but I could not move. I felt like I was in a haze. Trying to figure shit out. But not all too willing. I was able to shift my leg and I fell to my knees. I touched her and she was stone cold. I immediately released a shaky breath and carried her. I did not even wait to take her to the room we had lodged. I took her to our car and zoomed off to our destination – Damien’s pack. Maybe if we had gone there earlier, she would not have suffered like this. Not until now, did it occur to me that I did not know what was wrong with my mate? Her voice felt like she was being strangled when she called out to me through the mind link.

I looked at her through the mirror and saw that she still had her eyes closed. I breathed out and focused my gaze on the road. Jeff was pacing around in my head, not letting me think at all.

“Will you stop huffing and growling in my head.” I hissed out angrily.

“You expect me to stop growling whereas my mate…” He hesitated with the last word. I shook my head and hope lit in my eyes as I saw the gate of Damien’s pack. I quickened the speed of the car and drove straight to it. It was still midnight and I could see the pack patrols taking a defensive stand in front of the gate. What was even more surprising was that they did not move despite the speed of my car. I took that as a reason to calm and decrease the speed.

I came to a stop and a man who I supposed is the head patrol marched towards me with his eyes scrutinizing me.

“How many we help you?” He asked. I shook my head unclasped my seat belt before opening the door of the back seat.

“I am here to see your Luna. My Luna is in danger.” I bit out angrily and carried her.

“We will have to…”

“You will have to what? While my mate dies, huh? Look, I am Damien’s elder brother.” I said with my chest moving up and down. I was breathing heavily, fighting with Jeff to avoid him to take control.

He looked between Rose and me and nodded his head before the other men moved away and I ran… I did.

Just as we got to the packhouse, the door flung open and Ciara stepped out with her eyes opened in worry and fear. She looked into my eyes. “What happened?” She asked as she paved way for me to enter. I saw Damien and this other man and lady.

“I don’t know… She… I… I can not explain.” I stuttered, my mind is fvcking with me and I can’t seem to think about anything. Ciara shook her head and took Rose’s hand. She checked her pulse and after some observation, she looked up at me.

“She is still yet alive but her breathing is irregular and somewhat fast… Er.” She said with worry.

“What happened to her?” Damien asked from behind.

“I don’t know… All I just heard was her whimper and I came running to her.” I said.

“We need to take her to the hospital.” The guy said.

“No, we don’t. She will awake soon.” Ciara said with her hand on her forehead. She seemed to be in a somewhat trance.

The connection soon cut off, she looked at me. “Wait for a while.” She said.

And now I have been waiting for a while, I looked at Rose with tears glistening my eyes.

“Rose, I…” The words were caught up in my throat.

“Rose, please don’t leave me. I truly need you… I want you… I… Love you… Please.” I said with a broken voice. Wait, broken? My vision was suddenly blurred and I felt something wet down my cheeks. I was crying.

Crying? My hands ran up to my face. I was crying. Tears…

Then suddenly, I heard someone cough. I felt someone push me back and collect the cup of water from my hand. I whipped the tears off kind of roughly and looked at Ciara muttering something in a whisper into Rose’s ear. Rose jerked up instantly and Ciara gave her the cup of water almost immediately. Rose drank and looked around. Her eye bags already darkened. She looked drained. She was about to adjust well to the radiant of the room when she winced out. I took it as my chance and shove Ciara aside.

“Rose,” I called out and she turned to me. The first thing I did came as a shock to me and her… I slammed my lips on hers and kissed her like it was our last kiss. She seemed to overcome the shock as she opened her lips wide for me to slip my tongue in. Then we heard someone clear their throat.

“She just woke up, give her some time.” I heard a feminine voice say as I was tugged away by a masculine hand. I looked up to see Damien with an eyebrow raised. He resembles… Me. I shook off the thoughts and looked around the room. Rose’s body was pale and she looked like she lost almost all the blood in her.

“She lost some blood.” I heard a voice confirm my thoughts. I did not even know that a doctor already arrived.

“How did you lose so much blood?” The doctor asked. Rose closed her eyes for some minutes before talking.

Rose’s POV

**************

I can’t remember how I ended up unconscious. But one thing is for sure that I must have gone through something critical. I did not feel the pain. Or anything. Just some weird headache.

“How did you lose so much blood?” The doctor asked again. I looked at her. Uncertainty covering my facial expression, “I don’t know.” That was all I could mutter.

“Okay, I think you just need to rest and also eat some real food to get your strength back. You are a wolf so it would be easy.” He said for the last time and bowed slightly before Damien before leaving.

Ciara sat before me and held me by my hand. “You scared the hell outta me.” She said. I managed to chuckle lightly.

“I am sorry. I just went to eat and…” I winced as I tried re-collecting the memory.

“Hey, it is okay. Don’t force yourself.” She cooed and looked back at Leo was staring intently at me. Then I remembered we just shared a kiss… Gosh, I feel like my cheeks are on fire right now.

He soon took the move and walked out of the room with Damien and Hudson following behind me.

“You don’t know but Leo was crying because of you.” Ciara said and my eyes went wide in surprise.

“Really?” I croaked out.

“Yes. He was practically begging me to save your life throughout the entire midnight.” She added, making me even more surprised.

“So care to explain how you affect him so much.” She asked and I knew she was requesting for the full gist.

“I will only when I am fit to speak because as of now, I need my mate with me.” I said and laid down back. She scoffed and soon left the room.

Leo came back into the room with some tray of food. I sat up, already salivating the food.

“How are you?” He asked me as he laid the tray down on a stool. I shrugged.

“I am fine.” I said. He exhaled and sat down close to me.

“Do you know how Jeff was close to killing almost everyone here? Not to add how I fought against him, like gosh, please don’t scare me again like that.” He said and I smiled.

“So you care about me like this?” I asked him and he stared at me like I just grew two horns. No, he cares about me but my insecurity must be kicking in. No, not that…. My… I jerked back pushing plate away immediately. My breath became erratic.

What is happening?

I feel like blood is rushing so quick into my veins and they seemed to be flowing like stream.

“What is happening, Rose?” Leo asked with worry. His eyebrows were already creased in fear. I also don’t know. Then I heard him growl loudly before, Ciara and the rest barged into the room. They all looked at me.

“What is happening with her?” I heard Hudson’s mate ask.

Then suddenly, my entire body calm down. I released a weak breath before sitting up. “Rose, what is happening?” Ciara asked. I guess she could not figure it out with her powers also. I also don’t know what is wrong with me. I felt like my blood was replaced with some liquid. Maybe I am just assuming things.

When they saw that I did not reply, Damien breathed out. “I think taking her to the pack hospital will be best.” He suggested.Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

“No!” I said sharply, causing my throat to hurt. I squeezed my face and relaxed. I so much hate the smell in the hospital. It makes want to puke and not me staying there for some months, I will die. Well, that’s quite exaggerated. But no kidding, I can’t stay there for a week.

“You don’t want to go but you keep shaking like someone who has been frozen…” Leo said and drank water. His eyes already changed colors. I guess him seeing me like this and in this state is making him so restless. Well, I can not be too if it was him that was my state. I sighed and picked the spoon before eating some rice and adding sauce to it. They watched me as I ate and I was not bothered. But suddenly, the air in the room shifted and everywhere became tensed. I looked at them, questioning them with my eyes as to what was happening.

No one replied and they all stepped out of the room. I looked at Leo for explanation, he only shrugged and laid down in my space. He placed his hand over his eyes. I knew he needed the rest and I knew he was still worried sick about me.

Well, you can’t blame me. I also don’t know what the hell is wrong with me. And I know for sure that it is not my usual sex drive of a thing.

Wait, my wolf?!

“Halona.” I called out in my head and I heard some shuffling. She stood up and looked at me.

“Thought you would not care to ask how I was.” She said and rolled her eyes. I smiled.

“What happened to us then?” I asked her and she went quiet.

“I have been trying to recall it but it all happened in a blur. I could hardly make out the incident.” She said but I could feel that she was not telling me all of it.

I shrugged. I trust her anyways.

“Jeff is mad at me.” She whispered. I chuckled. Wolves at times.
