Quest with my Cursed Alpha

Chapter 5

CHAPTER V

She became bigger and hairier, and her canines became longer and sharper. Then, she let out a loud howl and the moon paved a way and shone brightly on her. She then looked at the werewolf standing before her. She felt the urge to cross the distance between them, and she did. So also the other werewolf and they were standing face to face, on all fours. But instead of a fight ensuing between them, they began sniffing each other. She felt it gross to be doing that, but it was more like she couldn’t control herself. While sniffing the werewolf, she discovered it was male. “My mate…” was what her inner voice was telling her.

Suddenly, the male werewolf started changing back to his man-like form. He was exceptionally handsome. He had beautiful golden eyes that were arresting, glistening and sparkling like the morning sun. His height was 6’2 with a chiseled, athletic build that hints at his supernatural strength. His hair was a rich, dark blond color that falls in messy, tousled waves across his forehead. His skin had a warm, golden glow, with a subtle sheen. He had a strong and defined jaw line, giving him a rugged, masculine edge. His cheekbones were sculpted and prominent. His lips were full and inviting. He had a magnetic charisma that made Lana’s heart skip a beat. “How could someone be so handsome both as a werewolf and as a man?” She thought.

She found herself staring endlessly and he had no choice but to let an awkward cough out, in order for her to reduce her gaze and regain her senses. “Uh… aren’t you going to change back to your human form?” he said. Lana, who was still a wolf, just howled when she wanted to say, “I don’t know how”. “Oh. I guess you just transformed for the first time, because you took so much time to change to a wolf.” He paused before he continued, like as if expecting a reply but got none, “you just have to train yourself mentally and emotionally. Just imagine you as your human self and then try to get up like a human. That’s how I change to human, try it”

Lana took a deep breath and tried to focus on her imaginations as her human self. She found herself like she was hallucinating and by the time she opened her eyes, she was standing as a human. The moon shone brightly on her skin despite being red. It was like the lunar ancient wolves didn’t forsake her that night. She found him staring and had this sort of surreal feeling. No doubts, she was also pretty. So yeah, pretty meets handsome… perfect combo! “Well…” she spoke first, but he interrupted, “I’m Ace, and you are?” “I’m Lana” she said and flashed a smile.

Ace’s fangs grew longer and he had this irresistible urge to bite her on her neck. “I hope it’s not my curse” he thought. He crossed the very little distance between them and held her hands, looking at her eyeball to eyeball. Lana’s cheeks flushed red as she felt his warm breath on her face. The moon was now more majestic than ever and shined more brightly on the two. Ace immediately buried his head in the nape of her neck and bit it, gently. She let out a small howl. “This is unlike me.” He thought and redrew from her a bit. The bite hurt a bit, but it didn’t anymore almost immediately. It gave Lana a hickey and immediately, Ace’s fangs became normal. All these were making sense. They were for each other. They are each other’s mates.

Ace said, “Sorry about the bite. I just had this strange urge to do so. I’m so sorry if it hurts…” “It actually doesn’t hurt. It stung at first but soothed almost immediately. I’m fine…. Ace” Lana said and chuckled awkwardly. “Which pack do you belong to? And how can you be having your first transformation outside your pack, without any rituals?” he asked, leaving Lana unable to find the right words to say. “Err… I’m actually a slave” she said, bowing her head low in shame. “Wait, what? How could they do this to me, huh? ‘blessing me’ with a slave mate… aishhh, no way!” Ace said angrily, looking away from Lana. Lana immediately covered her face in shame. “It’s not my fault. I do not want to be a slave either… but circumstances led me to where I am right now. Do you think I chose this kind of life, and who the heck are you to curse at slaves?! They’re people too you know… why do you all belittle slaves? It’s not like it’s something we choose to do.” Lana said in between tears, her voice rising a bit. Ace was surprised by her reaction.

Lana stopped crying when he didn’t console her. “You do not even care that I’m crying?!” she said looking at his face. She found him looking at her, like as if he was searching her face for something. “Hey! What is it?!” she asked angrily. “You’re kind of pretty though. You’re not so bad…” Ace said and flashed a faint smile at her like as if trying to console her with those words. “Are slaves not allowed to be pretty or what? And if you think you’d be able to console me with those words, you’re wrong because I’m so mad at you for the kind of perspective you have.” Lana said and folded her arms. “Uh… I’m sorry, Lana.” He said and patted her on her back like a child. “Come on. I’m not a child to be consoled that way!” Lana said and pushed his hand from her back. “So how the heck do you want me to tell you sorry?! I’m trying my best to let go of my cold demeanor. I’m just trying to be nice and here you are trying to act hard to get. I’m only supposed to claim you as mine, not to care about your feelings at all. Being this nice isn’t part of my personality, so enjoy it while it lasts…” he said and Lana just frowned a bit. He smirked and continued, “How do you want me to console you?” “I do not know, but I’m not a kid to be patted. I’m all grown and whatever you think is the right way to apologize to me is your business.” She said and sniffed.

Ace held her hand and squeezed it lightly. “There’s only one way in my head.” Lana looked at him and found a smirk plastered on his face, and she tried to put the pieces of what he was trying to pass together. When she understood what he said, she let out an awkward cough. It was like the air around that place stood still, as Lana couldn’t breathe. She was blushing so hard. “I’m having this urge to devour you.” He said now with a straight face. She left his grip on her hand, looking at him with those permissive eyes as she reached up to touch his chest. His eyes blazed with desire…
