The Alpha's Curse The Enemy Within

Chapter 84

Leonardo Black's point of view

"That was stupid, Leonardo." Kaiser huffed. "We had her right here in her own home after fourteen long years, and we allowed her to leave, just like that, with those fucking assholes," he could not just stop pacing. "They even have a fucking curse on their fucking heads. What if she's also affected by being in that pack?" He yelled, still upset. I remained silent, devouring my dinner in the private dining room next to my chamber.

He has been this way since Killian left with Sheila in his arms. He didn't like that. He wanted us to have fought to keep her here with us. And if we did, what would have happened after that?

The whole world will get to know Sheila was our sister, the white wolf written about on the crystal stones. Soon, it won't be long before the Dark Circle sends their henchmen after her, and thereafter, creatures the world had never seen or heard of will come after her because of her powerful magic.

Even though I felt enraged as well, letting my sister go away with that bastard, the truth was, that was the best way to keep her safe and off the raider for now.

"Kai, please calm down," My mate, Denise spoke to him in an attempt to quell his rage but that was of no use.

"You don't understand, Den, what if Killian finds out she's a Black?" Kaiser was greatly vexed and frustrated.

And I understood where his rage was coming from. He had always had this rage from that night when he witnessed it all. The night mother died saving Sheila and still, she was stolen. The Alpha and I had gone for a meeting that day, and we still hadn't returned that night. It was only mother, Kaiser and Sheila that was in the pack, along with the witches and Pack warriors. Kaiser witnessed it all, the death of our mother, and right before his eyes, Sheila was taken. He has always blamed himself for that night, and now, finding Sheila after all these years, he was obsessed with keeping her safe. And I understood that and would never blame him for that.

I picked up the silver cup on the table and took a sip from it. "Kai," I called to him. "I know exactly how you feel, but now is not the time to be furious."

"How can I not? Sheila doesn't remember anything. After this night, she will start having questions about herself. What if out of desperation, she confronts Lucius? We still have no idea how she ended up in the hands of that bloody bastard. But one thing for sure is that he knows exactly who she is, that's why he had her powers bonded, and he could possibly be responsible for her losing her memories," he slammed his hands on the table.

"Calm down, Kai," I yelled, trying to calm him down, but everything he said had a valid point. We still had no idea how Sheila ended up with Alpha Lucius after she was taken by Killian's father. And since then, she has been locked up in his pack, living as the bastard's daughter.

"You have a point, Kai, but you need to remain calm," I said, "Now take a seat," I added, finishing my dinner.

Kaiser sighed, taking a seat right opposite Denise.

"What do we do now, brother?" He asked, running a hand through his hair.

"We do nothing. Right now, Sheila is better off far away from us. Everyone, including the Dark Circle, will be searching for her, and they will keep an eye on us to find out if we know her whereabouts," I said, about to say more when the silver plate in front of me began to shake.

Kaiser was up instantly, but I remained in my seat, watching the silver plate closely as red water began to appear on it. It was blood. Someone was trying to send a message to me. A witch. My mate, Denise was beside me, our eyes were glued on the blood that kept on gathering on the plate. And soon, the plate stopped moving.

I didn't break my gaze from the silver plate, as the blood on it began to spread out, forming words.

In short seconds, the blood formed some words. My blue eyes read it, and I felt a churn within me.

'You hate the cursed Alpha, and I do too. The only way to make him suffer is to kill his mate. She is the key to breaking his curse. Her death will be what we need to make him suffer.'

I read the words over and over again, hearing the growls of my wolf in the walls of my mind.

Kaiser released a loud growl, his eyes were gleaming bright. "Now, who the hell is this imbecile?"

"Whoever this person is, they obviously have a grudge against Alpha Killian," Denise spoke, returning to her seat.

"And they plan to use my sister to make him suffer," Kaiser released another growl.

My eyes were still stuck on the words on the silver plate. "Sheila is the key to breaking the Alpha's curse?" I muttered, more like whispering to myself but Kaiser and Denise could hear me. Kaiser stopped growling. "How is that possible?"

Fuck. What the hell is going on in that pack? Whosoever sent this really wanted to harm Killian, and frankly, I don't have a problem with that. But I didn't like the fact that they were pulling my sister into this mess.

I sighed, turning to Kaiser. "Take this to the Pack's witches, maybe they can get something from it," I pointed at the plate. "Afterwards, we will send it to Valerie, being inside Killian's pack she'll be able to keep Sheila safe."

"Whoever the witch was that sent this must be in Killian's pack," Denise said.

I nodded. "That's why we need Valerie, we have to send word to her immediately," I said.

"That won't be a problem," Kaiser said leaning on the table.

I turned my head to him, "meaning?"

He tilted his head to the door, "She's right here."

I glanced at the door, and Valerie was standing right there, having a brown cloak over her. She dragged down the hood covering her hair, "We really need to talk."

I breathed out, leaning into my chair. "I guess we do,"

Valerie gaited forward.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

"I am curious, how long have you known about Sheila?" Kaiser asked her.

"I had my suspicions the first day I met her, and after that, there have been some peculiar situations that convinced me the most," she said.

"How is she?" I asked the question everyone was curious to know.

"She's still unconscious, and still has a fever," she paused, "I don't think her awakening is over yet as I can't seem to stop her fever."

"That's fucking bad," Kaiser growled. "And that bastard, did you tell him who she truly is?"

Valerie threw Kai an angry look. Her deep purple eyes dwelt on him for a while before looking away. "As much as I hate keeping things from the Alpha, my first loyalty doesn't lie with either him or the Blacks. It lies with the white wolf. It is the duty of the witches of the Crystal Fortress to protect her, and that's what I will do.

Somehow, her words satisfied me. The witches' first loyalty should lie with Sheila. I pushed the silver plate to her side.

Valerie's eyes fell on me before they landed on the words formed on the silver plate. "What is this?" She spoke as soon as she finished reading it.

"It was sent a few minutes ago," Kaiser settled into one of the seats.

Her purple eyes fell on all three of us.

"A witch sent that to us, and they are after Sheila, do you know anything about this?" I asked her.

She shook her head. "No. But for some time now, an unknown witch has been after the pack. The witches and I have been trying to find out who that is. They have been trying to harm Killian, by using his mate, Sheila. But recently, I think she may have been a target."

"I don't care about Killian, I care about Sheila," I said, in fury. We must find that witch before something bad happens, and please, Valerie, you must protect her."

"With my life, I will." She sounded.

"My witches will take a look at that, and they'll forward it to you," I said to her and she nodded.

"Everyone knows that the white wolf still lives. Every dark creature will be searching for her now, including the Council," Valerie said.

"And the Dark Circle," Kaiser added.

"I know. Everyone will have their eyes on the pack," I said.

"It wouldn't be long before the truth gets out," she said.

I hated to think about what would happen then. Whatever the case may be, would ensure what happened fourteen-odd years ago, would never repeat itself. The Dark Circle will have no choice but to lose this time.
