Alpha Erubas: The Cursed Alpha And His Forbidden Human Mate

Secret got leaked

Chapter 26

Alpha Erubas POV

I walk briskly down the verandah, heading to the hall where the chiefs must be waiting for me now. I have no idea what happened back here, but the call I got from Noah was kinda not clear and filled with worries, which had me rushing down here.

"What happened?" I ask as I barge into the hall, and as expected, Noah and the chiefs were already waiting for me.

"There is a problem, Alpha," Noah utters as he stands up to his feet and walks over to me, and I gulp down nothing.

"What's the problem?" I ask him, a bit worried.

"Our spy in Silver Moon Pack conveyed a piece of information to us today, and he mentioned something we don't understand. He said that you were cursed to be lonely for the rest of your life, and that was why you've lost your recent mates," He explains, and my heart freezes in my chest. For seconds, I stare into space as I feel my heart hammer against my chest. How the heck did they know about it?

"The problem now is that they are planning to lunch an attack on our pack, and..."

"Alpha, is it true that you are cursed? Is that why you've not gotten married after the death of your three mates?"

"We thought it was just a coincidence. How come you never told us about it?"

"Why didn't you ever tell me about this, Alpha? I thought we were friends," The chiefs and even Noah utter, and I slowly clench my fists as I feel my heart wrench in pain. My blood boil in rage at the thought of this betrayal. I know Ares would never do such a thing as leak my secret, but I am not also convinced, considering he's the only one that knows about this. Did he tell them about it?

"Why aren't you saying anything? Your defense is down now, are you planning to get us all killed?" One of the chiefs yells at the top of his voice as he slams his hands on the table and springs up to his feet, but my heart is too heavy to even utter a word. Seeing my world crumbling down to my feet, what was I supposed to say? The secret I've kept for years has just been leaked, what the heck was I supposed to do? Defend myself and lie to them? That is the last thing I won't ever think of doing, no matter what happens.

"Show some respect, Eric. He is your Alpha, and you have no right to talk to him like that!" Noah turns to the bastard and scolds him.

"A cursed young man that has been lying to us, what do you call that? Do you still dare to give him the title of an Alpha?" He grumbles, and I sigh briefly. If he's trying to piss me off with those words, then he better put in more effort, because I'm really not in the mood for that.

I turn and stride out of the hall wordlessly, heading to Ares's chamber.

"Why didn't you tell me about it, Erubas? Is that why you've been like that all this while?" Noah keeps asking me as he trails behind me, and I stop to look at him.

"Don't follow me, Noah. I need to be alone," And with that, I turn and make my way to Ares's chamber. I barge in without a knock, and I find him sitting on the floor and meditating as usual. I wonder if he ever gets tired of meditating, but what do I expect from a priest? Well, that is not really my problem right now.

"Alpha..."

"Who dished out my secret?" I thunder at him, and he raises his eyebrows confusingly, but I won't fall for that easily.

"What are you talking about, Alpha?" He asks, looking clueless.

"The Alpha of Silver Moon Pack now knows that I'm cursed, who do you want me to blame for that, huh? You and I are the only ones that know about this, are you possibly thinking that I told him by myself?" I slam my hands on the table in his chamber, and he sighs briefly, not even flinching a bit. Ares is known as the third most powerful werewolf in the pack, after myself and Noah. He is the priest, so he is entitled to have that power.

"Are you going to stare at me and not say anything? Did you tell them?" I thunder angrily as waves of anger surge through me. I feel my wolf struggling to take over me and make him pay for this humiliation, but I wouldn't ever do such a thing, knowing that I don't want to hurt the priest.

"Not that you will believe me even if I told you... So, should I waste my time trying to explain myself?" It's crazy how he still manages to be sarcastic about this when I'm bitter inside. I know he would never do such a thing, but who the heck did that?

"Ares..."

"I think it's high time you bring her here if you want to get rid of this rumor," He cut me off as he sits on the chair before he picks up a book.

"Is that all you can think of right now? You want me to bring her here to clear the rumors, are you serious?" I yell at him, and this time, he sighs briefly as he raises his gaze to look at me.

"We don't have much time, Alpha. You need to bring him here so the necessary things can be done. I promise you, nothing will happen to her," He utters again, and I gulp down the lump that forms in my throat. This is not good, and I know that. I and the pack would be in a mess if this should get any worse. I don't even have the strength to fight again, since I'm getting weaker by the day, and it'll be a disaster if we ever get attacked by other packs. I won't be able to protect them.

With my heart heavy, I turn and walk out of his chamber, but I stop on my track when I find Noah standing and glaring hard at me. He seems angry about what I have no idea about, and not that I care anyway. I have a lot going on in my mind already. I ignore him and walk past him, but his question brings me to an abrupt halt.

"Are you going to still hide the truth especially now that it's out?" I stop and clench my fingers, my heart wrenches painfully. I wanted to keep this to myself and never tell anyone, but it doesn't seem like it's something I can do at this point. I have to tell someone, at least Noah...
