Imperfect Luna and the Alpha King

Chapter 14

Grey's POV

Damn! Why did I suddenly become weak? And why does it have to be in front of that woman?

Shit! s**t! s**t! This was not a good thing. She shouldn't know that I have weakness and curse inside me. After a few moments of motionless silence due to the pain all over my body, I finally felt better.

Once my strength was restored and I could stand up again, I quickly got off the bed and put on my clothes.

What a shame, stupid Grey, you've made a fool of yourself, I muttered, cursing myself inwardly.

I walked over to my desk and quickly pulled out my cell phone from the drawer. I have to call Bezel, the Elder of the Bluerivers. She is the daughter of the previous Elder. And she was my friend, my childhood best friend.

I had to talk with her. I wanted to ask about what actions I should take. To get that woman to give me the Myrah Hwurip stone– the stone of life. Because it seems that Elena didn't trust anyone easily, even though she knows I am her mate and her Alpha.

I had to get the stone before the night of the coronation of the new alpha king for the Bluerivers territory. If I can't get the rock within the allotted time, I, without a doubt, won't get the position of alpha king, and I won't be able to replace my father. He would never allow me to be the leader of Bluerivers pack because I was weak, cursed, and diseased alpha.

At that time, precisely thirteen years back, I didn't believe what Svaha– Bezel's father, said about the curse that befell me. I thought that the curse was only passed down to my family so that my family could have no more offspring, and my family was threatened with extinction if I didn't find the right mate who could break the seal of the curse.

One day, just after I turned 18, and it was my birthday, my wolf friends and I celebrated in a Pine forest in the Northern Bluerivers.

That night was a full moon night, and we were having a game, a deer hunting game. My friends and I climbed a hill, letting the moonlight wash over every inch of our skin. We laughed happily, and slowly my two friends transformed into wolves with bluish-black fur. And I, too, began to transform, but strangely, my two friends had transformed into complete Wolf form and started jumping and running towards the hill on the other side. But I stayed where I was, as wolf fur only appeared on my chest, legs, and hands. I thought it would take longer to turn into a full wolf. But after a few minutes, there was no change at all. And a few seconds later, I seemed to lose consciousness. I didn't remember anything about what happened that night. It was just that when I woke up in the morning, my body was covered in fresh blood. And beside me was laid the corpse of a young girl.

I'll never forget that night that felt like a nightmare that still haunts me. Until now, I couldn't even sleep well because the events of that night were still fresh in my memory.

Ever since that incident, I've suffered from terrible nightmares. But now, things are different. It seemed like the curse didn't affect my physical body anymore, but it hurt me mentally. Especially when I couldn't control myself, it was more painful than any injury I had ever experienced. If only my mind were still intact enough to understand what was happening to me.

After a few moments, Bezel picked up my call.

"Grey, it's been a while. Where were you? And, what's going on?" Even though we were not the same age, she still called me with respect. She was older than me and had more responsibilities as an elder, but she always treated me as her equal.

"Elena has seen my weakness, and she has seen my uncontrollable lycan form," I replied.

"How is that possible? Did you forget to drink the potion I gave you?" Bezel retorted. This time, she replied faster.

"I already drank it," I said while scratching my head because I was so frustrated. What just happened was so embarrassing. I didn't want Elena to know about it. At least, not now. How could she believe I was her alpha if I couldn't even turn into a wolf? She would doubt me and probably wants to run away from me now. And that wouldn't be good for me and everything I had planned.

"How is that possible? You shouldn't change if you've taken it?"

"I think you should increase the dosage of your potion. The potion you made is starting to not work for me."

"How is that possible, Grey? You've been drinking it for thirteen years, and it always works. How could my potion suddenly not work?"

Bezel's tone of reply seemed angry.

"Are you doubting my abilities?"

"No, Bez. No, that's not what I meant." I replied again. I didn't want her to misunderstand what I meant.

I needed to explain this clearly to her so she wouldn't stop trying to make potions to help me. Maybe she has some solution that will work for me.

"Then what do you mean, Grey?" she asked, her tone seemed calm. There was no emotion to be seen, but she must have felt something. And I hope it wasn't jealousy.

"Can you make a potion to make Elena want to have s*x with me? A kind of potion that makes women willing to give up their virginity without strain? Because that's the only way for this curse to be lifted. And I'm sure by getting her body. She will be willing to give the stone to me." I wished it were that simple, but the response surprised me.

"Grey, no amount of magic can force a woman to surrender to someone else's will."

"But you're good at things. Surely you must find some way to make a man fall in love with you like you used to do with your friends in college." I insist. I have to find a solution.

"The answer is still no!" she

was screaming.

The anger in her voice was hard to miss. "Please, Bez, you have to try to find something. Just this once, please help me."

"Fine," she said through gritted teeth.

Then, her voice calmed down and sounded slightly apologetic, "I'll try to find a way to make Elena surrender to you. But I'm afraid that won't work. I will try everything I can think of."

"You know. I didn't even succeed when I used that potion to make you fall in love with me. Nothing worked." she laughed.

"It doesn't matter." That's all I have to say. I didn't want to tell Bezel I was happy when she failed. Because for me, Bezel is nothing more than a little friend that I love like a sister. Nothing more.

I hang up the phone and hope that Bezel is trying hard to find a way to get Elena to give up on me and give up her stone and body without arm-twisting. I want that stone. I need it. I need it more than anything right now. Because now, I realize that there is a part of my soul, my wolf spirit, that is dying. And it hurts so much inside me. Soon he will die, and then my body will die with him.
