The Cursed Mate

A threat will always be remembered

Alpha Leon POV

My mate is sleeping and my wolf is angry at the disrespect from Jim. Logically there is no way they can prove Collins did it but there is a feeling of dread deep in my soul. Collins may be thick headed but he is my only son and the future Alpha of this pack. I have never been a violent person unless it is needed. I have always given rogues a chance to prove themselves worthy and that is part of the reason my pack is one of the strongest.

Second only to the royal pack in London and the strongest in America. I have never hurt an innocent. Our pack witch has her ways to tell if someone is lying so I can say with confidence those I killed had it coming. I guess that is why my stomach is in knots as I sneak into the hospital slipping past and into the room of the mute pup.

I can hear her breathing and I know she is asleep as my hand wraps around her throat. I could easily kill her. It would be blamed on the silver. Her eyes open and she looks at me. I expected fear and am shocked that in her dark brown eyes I see amusement. Is she crazy?

I lean in and whisper

Leon:

Listen to me Millie, you will never speak of what really happened to you. A witch did this not my son. Do you understand?

She looks at me still with that amused look and I can feel my anger growing. My hand tightens and I swear I see a flicker of gold in her eyes but that is impossible, only royal wolves have gold in their eyes.

Leon:

Nod your head if you understand girl.

I use my alpha voice but she just stares at me.

I don’t know if she has truly lost her mind or maybe it is the drugs. How can she resist the alpha command? I am at a loss so I look her dead in the eyes.

Leon:

Let me be clear if you say a word I will kill your mother, father and any friends you have.

Her eyes show fear, finally, for the goddess sake what was wrong with her. She nods and I let go slipping back into the night my whole body shakes at what just happened. Am I really this cruel of a person? Would I have really hurt an innocent?

I try to convince myself that it is for the good of the pack. Collin is there future and Millie... well she is just a low level omega. She can not be my son’s mate. I won’t allow it. My father and my grandfather worked their fingers to the bone to build this pack strong and I won’t let it fail because of one stupid mistake.

Convinced I head back to my mate and take her into my arms. I can see her red and swollen eyes and feel the dampness on her shirt. I kiss her softly.

Luna Casie:

Sobs in her half sleep state. I am so sorry Leon.

Leon:

I forgive you. Shhh sleep Casie. I love you so much. My mind wanders back to the hospital as my mate sleeps against my chest.

She should have been terrified from the start. She should have been forced to obey even if she is insane. It had to be the drugs, what else could it be. My mind runs a million thoughts. How could she? Did I really see gold in her eyes? Maybe I am paranoid? Finally after hours I fall into a deep sleep.
