Alpha’s Cursed Mate

Rose’s POV

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

Murmurings. Some people were murmuring words to each other. My eyebrows furrowed at the fact that I was finding it hard to open my eyes. Why are my eyes closed?

I squeezed my eyes shut and tried opening them. But it felt like they were forced to be closed.

I tried moving my hands but it was tied down. I groaned out in pain. Whosoever must have tied my hands is crazy. It was too tight for my liking that I had to give up. I hissed out angrily and laid back.

They must have noticed me because I heard boots clicking the floor as they walked towards me.

“You are awake finally,” The masculine voice said.

“Oops, your eyes is tied.” The masculine voice said and remove the blind fold that was on my face. I squinted my eyes open. The place was quite dark and it lacked light but then crouching before me is a man I have never met.

“Who are you?” I asked and his lips pulled into a smirk.

“Who I am does not matter but who you are matters.” He said and pulled me by hair. I hissed out angrily at the sudden action.

“Huh? Feisty much?” He asked and looked into my eyes with raw hatred. My eyebrows creased in confusion as I tried to remember where I met this man that was pulling me by my hair.

“Rose or wait, our precious Luna?” He said with spite that could not be left concealed.

He must be part of the pack members but who is he?

“You must be wondering who I am? I am Jacksonville.” He introduced as if he was the president of the entire states.

“Jackson?” I said out.

“Will you get straight to the point instead of slacking with stupid introduction?” The feminine voice spat with venom. I whirled my head towards the direction and saw a lady standing in a orange plain satin gown, she had a gold high heels to match with gold bangles and necklace. She was not facing me.

“Who are you guys and why do you have me tied down here?” I questioned. That was when the lady turned around with a smirk ok her face. I don’t remember seeing her before. This Jackson of a guy still had the stupid smirk on his lips.

“You are only here for the meantime. You don’t need to worry about why you are here. Just that enjoy it to the fullest.” She said with a smile that did not reach her face. I looked at her with skepticism and shook my head.

These people are psychotic.

“So you don’t want to tell the person you kidnapped the reason for kidnapping her?” I asked.

The lady walked towards me and bent down. She pulled me by the jaw and she looked deep into my eyes as if searching for something. Then suddenly she cut the connection off.

Her eyebrows furrowed a little before her face became neutral.

“A week is enough for her to be here,” she said and disappeared just like that. I looked back at Jackson who just shrugged and went to sit on the desk that he stood up from.

“How many days have I been here?” I asked out of nowhere.

“Three days.” He replied.

“What? You mean I have been out for the past three days?” I said with a look of unbelief. Gosh, things had gotten worse.

“So she is your master?” I asked, trying to bring up some conversation to see if he would spit out some information.

He almost spat out the wine he was about to drink then he looked at me with a shocked expression.

“What did you say?” He asked incredulously.

“I asked if she was your master because of she ordered you.” I said with a shrug. He laughed out humorlessly.

“Master? You… You are ridiculous.” He said with a snort.

“She is just a business partner and that’s all.” He answered. At least, he said something. I must fetch for more information.

“Oh, but the way she did just now. It does not seem so. You are the male here, you ought to be the one calling the shots.” I said to him as I laid against the wall. I grunted out in pain.

He seemed to think about what I said and he looked at me. I had unexpectedly hit a spot in his brain.

“I’m quite hungry, can you get me food?” I asked him. He raised an eyebrow at me and stood up. He walked towards me with intimidating steps and I watched him with focused eyes.

He bent down before me and stared into my eyes.

His lips pulled into a smile.

“Sure, I can’t let our precious Luna die when she serves a purpose.” He said and with that he left the place, leaving me dumbfounded. Now that I look at the place, it looked like an underground cell and I know it would be difficult before one can be discovered here.

Leo. How is he doing?

I know he cannot be doing fine. Because when Ciara went missing the last time in Damien’s pack, I know how savage he went. He even forbade me from telling her. Such a good mate.

“Halona?” I called out but she did not reply.

Whosever casted that fog spell must have put my wolf into a deep sleep. I could have used the witch spells but I don’t know anything about it. Like can things get worse again?

How is my mother doing?

I should be there for her.

I sat down, feeling helpless. I cannot do anything. Not when I am tied down. I tried loosening the rope but instead it hurts even more.

“Ahrg!!!!”

Leo’s POV

***********

I have looked for her everywhere. Absolutely everywhere but she is nowhere to be found. I cannot even use my mark to find her. What sort of trial is this, moon goddess?

I palmed my face as I rested in the table with several paper works before me but I don’t have the zeal or even the power to keep working. Jeff forces me to shift almost every midnight to go for a run which is actually a patrol. He kept saying that he needed to stay at alert in case something like what happened at that forest happened to the pack. He already was not protecting his mate so well so he cannot let down the pack he promised to be loyal to and also to protect them.

“Leo, you need to calm down. You have not slept since three days ago. See how your eye bags have darkened. Man, leave this files alone and go get some premium rest. I will contact the people you sent to leave to for Rose and ask about their improvement.” Blake said. He was sitting across my table.

I looked at him with a neutral face.

“Have you ever lost connection with Martha? I mean like can you live a sec without having a connection with her? Like you don’t even know what’s up with her?” I asked. He looked at me and sighed.

“I know, I also can’t stand not being with her. But take a look at you, you have not taken a bath in three days that you came back. Your stubble already started pulling out and you look…”

“That’s it.” I cut him off.

“You can’t stand it for a second. But I am standing it for three days and who knows if I will ever see her again. You -” I pointed at him. “- don’t understand what I am going through.” I said with my chest moving up and down in a fast motion. I stood up suddenly.

“I need to go go for a run before I murder you.” I said and was about to leave when the door was pushed open and Rose’s parents walked in. I stopped to look at Nora’s swollen face. She must have been crying.

“Any clues yet?” Austin asked.

“Nope, every tracks seem to have be hidden well.” Blake answered.

“Isn’t there any witchy stuff you can do to get her life location?” Blake asked Nora.

“I have tried it but the witch that did this work is quite experienced and knows her job so well. She even hid Rose’s primal star so well. If only Rose knew some spells, I am very sure she would have sent a message across to me.” She said and leaned over on Austin’s shoulders.

“Ma’am, you don’t need to worry. We will find your daughter and our Luna.” Blake said.

I moved past them and walked out of the office. I walked last some pack members; some of them bowed in greeting while some hid.

Am I that bad?

As soon as I got to the woods, I stripped of the clothes I was wearing and forced Jeff to shift since he did not want to shift at this time of the day. I stood on all fours and stood started out in a slow speed before I picked up the speed and started running inhumane speed. After I was done with running, I stood in front of the cave where Austin and Nora now lived. I stared at how the sun set again for the third day without seeing my mate.

“Moon goddess, please keep my mate safe.” Jeff said.
