Curses and Love: The Luna with Two Mates

FIVE

SERA

The next morning felt a little too good. The air was something that I needed. I got out of bed, tidied my room, and went to the bathroom to take a bath.

I stepped out and the Castle was awfully quiet. I met Rosaletta and asked her what had happened in the castle. Seems some maids had led Louis here to attack me last night.

It was nothing new they never liked me anyway. Beta had caught them and they confessed. Louis tipped them into spying in the Alpha’s Castle, what a lowlife.

The maids were being tortured now for disobeying the Alpha. I feel bad for them for going down with Louis, but I guess it’s their fault.

When is your daughter coming, I asked eagerly.

She’ll be here on the night of the full moon. Rosaletta responded.

That’s good news the full moon is tomorrow, I said happily.

“Yes Sera and there’ll be a ball in the Castle tomorrow, so we have a lot of work to do.

Is Alpha Roman throwing a party? Yes, he is it’s a ritual every year. He seeks to find his mate. He’s 27 but has no mate so the ritual is conducted till he finds the girl meant for him.

Ohh, bummer a part of me wished he was mine. Another part warns me to back off.

I walked away from Rosaletta sulking. I did not think I wanted to hear that. What was today’s date? I don’t even have a phone. The whole world just feels like it’s against me.

I walked towards the calendar and checked tomorrow’s date. It’s my Birthday. The universe was playing tricks on me.

A knock came from the door and I turned to check who. A lot was going on with me right now I did not even think about my birthday. It’s the least of things. I’ll be turning 22 tomorrow anyway and I hope I find my mate too.

Beta, Hello how may I help you?

“Alpha Roman wants to see you, he’s in the garden”

Okay, tell him I’ll be there shortly. I said closing the door.

I strolled to the mirror and looked at myself one more time. I arranged my dress and stepped out, heading to the garden.

Rushing past the passage I bumped into someone. By his physique, I could tell he was broad.

Ouch!! I screamed hitting my head on his chest.

Sorry, are you okay? He asked.

I looked up to see a pair of warm eyes staring at me. His eyes were as clear as the air. His gaze was soft as he picked me up by the side.

Are you okay? He asked me to see if I had any injuries.

I’m fine I said softly, staring at his eyes.

I felt weak in the knees as he stared deep into my soul.

What’s your name beautiful? He asked.

My name is Sera I said as my breath quickened, not looking away. What’s yours?

I’m Eric. He said.

Eric? Oh, the person who came to see Alpha Roman the other day. Oh my, I never thought he was this handsome.

He held my hands as we strolled through the hallway. I don’t know why but I felt this chemistry with him. We talked so freely and he seemed like a very nice person.

We talked a bit but it felt like I’d known him forever. I didn’t want to leave. We were interrupted by a grunt behind us and I turned to see Roman.

“Come with me”. He said looking directly at me. He seemed angry. I moved away from Eric and his smile went dim. I felt bad.

“We will see each other again my sunshine” Eric smiled at me as he walked away. I stood watching his retreating figure.

SERA!!!!! Roman Roared.

“Coming Alpha”

What were you doing with Eric? Nothing Alpha I stuttered.

“Come here”. Nodding I walked closer.

There’s a ball tomorrow in the castle and you must be prepared. I’ll send people to you with everything you’ll need for the party. My Father will be in attendance so I expect you to be in your best behaviour. Am I understood?

Yes Alpha. I said with my head facing down.

Good. Now leave.

I walked away from him heading to finish my chores. I don’t think I would do anything without Rosaletta in this house. She warned me to stay clear of Eric as she felt Roman might punish me for it.

The next day came as fast as I imagined. I woke up wishing myself a silent Happy Birthday. I wish my mom were here with me. Things have changed a lot in the past two years.

A knock came in and everyone was running around. The ball was today. I opened the door and a troop of ladies came in with clothes and different boxes.

What’s all this, I asked them.

A lady who seemed like the head in charge responded that they were from Alpha Roman and would like my compliance.

I sat down ready to get all dolled up. I made my hair next, then my nails, and my makeup. Lastly my dress. A royal blue dress that would highlight all my curves, the type Roman would like.

I got dressed up with the help of the ladies and put on glass heels. Fit to complement my height. I wasn’t short but neither was I tall.

I strode downstairs feeling nauseous because this is the first party I’m attending outside my pack. Who am I kidding this is the first party I’m attending ever. As I walked down the stairs a pair of blue familiar eyes caught my attention.

He wouldn’t stop looking at me and I fixed on him, he wore a mask as tho he was hiding. Who was he? My gaze shifted from him to the man waiting at the end of the staircase.

Roman looked dashing. If only he were a better person. He wore a blue suit that complemented his skin and my dress also. I wonder why he matched up with me today.

He took my hands and led me to where some of his acquaintances were. A man in his fifties walked towards us. Everybody bowed. Who was he, and why was Alpha Roman uncomfortable?

Greetings Father. Roman bowed.

Father? I gasped unknowingly loudly.

They both stared at me.

Sera meet my Father Damian. Father meet Sera Olly.

He hissed when he heard the name Olly, giving Roman a look that meant we need to talk.

They stood there for what seemed like hours while I looked like a lost puppy. Someone whispered from behind me. Happy birthday Sera.

I turned around to face the masked man behind me. Those beautiful eyes again. I reached out to remove his mask, and I was stunned to see Eric.

His eyes were as bright as ever as he leaned in I heard a voice deep inside me say Mate.

What, my mate is Eric? This is good news, so I thought.

Roman came back and grabbed me from Eric and I felt a wave of connection go through my body. No that didn’t just happen.

Roman’s gaze softened with surprise in his eyes as he spoke. “You’re my Mate”.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
