To Break His Curse

Chapter Sixteen

AURELIA

“oh, that’s great news.. Thank you.” I smile at him.

“which is why I am not skipping school today. I feel good enough to go.” I make it clear, but the biggest aim here is to make him aware that he needs to hurry with whatever it is that he wants from me because I am trying to not be late.

He gets the hint and he uses the opportunity to let me know that whatever it is that he has waiting forme is a surprise and it will need us to go to his room.

“I am not so sure I want to go back in there yet. The necklace still hasn’t been found and I do not want to be blamed again.” I confess and his brows furrow.

“What necklace? There is a missing necklace?” he genuinely looks confused. So I guess he did not try to investigate why I was being ill treated….

“you know what, I will go as long as the luna does not have a problem with me being in there.” I respond as we walk out of his office and he smirks at me once we have stepped out.

“Who said anything about her finding out? It will be our little secret.” He winks at me and I nod my head as the awkward smile almost cracks.

We get into the room and he begins searching for something inside his pockets, which clearly all fail him..

From there, he begins rummaging through a drawer and it does not take him a while to have his aha moment as he lifts the keys up and let’s them dangle over his finger.

What are those for?

“That way, you do not have to worry about Estella finding you in here and accusing of stealing a necklace.. The only mistake I did last time was tell Chantel that I allocated you punishment in here.” He is speaking and all I am registering is the fact that he is actually locking us in.

“Do not worry, you will not be here for long.” He replies when he notices my face

How incredible of him to actually assume I am looming concerned about being late more than asking myself why he insists on locking the door.

Anyway, I just mod my head as I wait to know what I am doing here.

“I trust your judgment. If you help me choose the best suit that I will wear to a meeting during a very important annual get together with other pack leaders.

My jaw almost drops.

What?! I barely ever reveal the kind of fashion I am into, how does he trust my judgement?

“okay? I am not sure if I am the best person though. I mean…. Chantel pretty much knows a lot about fashion and designers. I know nothing.” I explain, hoping he will decide to cut his losses now and let me leave.

“And that is exactly why I want you to help me choose. It is going to be all men, and they know nothing about fashion. Just choose the one that looks good on me.” He declares before shrugging the suit jacket that he currently has on off and walking into the huge close.

He is going to be wearing it? What the f**k?

He emerges wearing a khaki set and I actually feel like it looks good with his skin tone.

He refuses to accept me telling him it looks good but instead he decides to try on three more. I choose the navy blue that happened to be the second option. If only he stopped at that point!

“thank you for helping me confirm my decision, Aurie!” he continues to baffle me more and all I do is smile.

“my pleasure, Alpha!” I smile before I point in the direction of the door.

“oh calm down! Just let the headmistress to call me and I will gladly let her know that you were being very helpful here so I could not let you leave.

I know it will not be as easy as he hopes, but I will keep his word in case situations get difficult!

“Okay? It would be nice to be on time but you are my Alpha and I am here to help you!” I really wish this would end already.

“when I said you have a surprise I meant it. Your birthday is coming up soon, isn’t it? My trip just so happens to be within the time of your birthday. So I am inviting you as my maid.” My eyes go wide and I honestly cannot even think of how to respond to anything at all.

“Uhmmm… I am honoured, but I wouldn’t know what to wear.” I lie. I have no idea how the hell I am going to break it to him or which excuse I am going to use to convince him to totally forget about me.

“you will be provided with attire, as usual. But for your birthday I have this for you.” He pulls a dress out after disappearing into the closet for some time.

My jaw drops as she sequin reflects the light and he throws it on the bed.

Why is he going the extra mile? This is getting a bit questionable now!

“ I would love to see you in it, so as soon as school is over just come and show me how it fits.”

I smile as I walk out of the door with the dress in my hand. That was a very weird experience and by the time I do finally walk out, the girls are long gone and now despite waking up so early, I am going be late yet again!

I quickly throw my uniform on and rush to walk to school.. I nearly sweat but I manage to make it with only breathlessness and a feeling of overheating.

I rush to the first class, which happens to be history and I slow down once I get to the door.

“Miss Hagan! What did it take for you to decide to grave us with your presence?” the teacher questions and my eyes feel drawn to the interior of the class..

Pretty soon, I figure out why.

What is Kaden doing in my history class?!
