Alpha’s Cursed Mate

If there was anything like being frozen in a spot, that is what this situation will be called.

First, Leticia met her long lost father.

Second, Rose discovered that she was half witch, half werewolf.

What more shocking can happen again?

Everyone sat down in silence, trying to take in what had just occurred.

“So for how long have you known that he was alive?” Leticia asked in a harsh tone, directing the question to Leo. He looked up and stared at her in the eye.

“Like some weeks ago.” He answered. She sighed.

“Is everyone going to talk about what happened to me or about a matter that has been settled?” Rose interrupted them. They all turned to look at her. They completely understood her plight.

“We will deal with this step by step…” Leo trailed off, holding Rose’s outstretched hands. Ever since she had intercepted Leticia, she could no longer bring her hands down. She was just as shocked as them.

“For how long have you been a witch?” Leo asked his sister. Leticia’s jaw hardened for a moment before she released it… Then her facial expression softened.

“Since I was twelve, I had frozen a fish by mistake.” She answered.

“And yet, you did not care to tell me as your brother?” Leo asked with a look of hurt on his face.

“Leo…” Leticia called out before taking a deep breath to calm her nerves.

“I thought… You would not like me, I thought… Okay, I acted on impulse not to tell you. I’m sorry.” She said.

“So you knew wolves existed?” He asked and it was her turn to look at him with query.

“Don’t look at me like that, who would want a brother who is a wolf? Like heck, you are even scared of dogs.” He said and she relaxed back.

“I am sorry things happened to be like this on our first meeting.” Derrick’s voice broke through and the tension in the air came down a little bit.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

Leticia faced him and took in his body features. She missed him. It was no lie. She missed the man that was standing here. Surprisingly, the grey hairs were not really many.

“Why did you send mother out?” Was all she asked. Then he went on to explain what ensued between their mother and him.

“I found later on that my mother and aunt were witches. I came across one of aunt’s spell book in the room she warned us not to enter and that was how I was able to keep my powers under check.” She said and they all nodded.

“So what do you say, big sister?” Damien asked with a glint of mischief in his eyes. Leticia looked at him with a smile.

“I see that you are mischievous, little brother.” She said with a smirk. Damien chuckled.

“Now there is someone who is mischievous like me.” He taunted, indirectly throwing shades at Leo who ignored him.

“So you forgive me?” Derrick asked.

“I never had anything against you.” She said matter-of-factly.

“I was only angry at you about not coming back for us. Couples quarrel and divorce but that does not mean they should forget the symbol of love between them.” She said and they all nodded their heads in agreement.

“What a great reunion… Despite the fact that you both almost killed him.” Hudson spoke up but then came another tension. Rose was crying. She stood up and ran out of the house, slamming the door shut.

“Rose?!” Leo called out after her and ran after her.

Rose’s POV

***********

I fell on my knees as I cried even more.

Everyone get to reunite with their parents and I don’t. How do they expect me to feel?

I had just discovered that I was a werewolf some moths ago and now I am a witch?

Can things get better or even worse?

Who are my parents?

Where are my parents?

If only I knew who they were, I would not be going through this.

The thought of my parents hardly crossed my mind because people was always around me to cheer me up but now…

Was I just a product?

A mistake?

I broke into even more tears.

“Rose.” Leo’s voice called out to me but my vision was already blurred with the tears. I flinched when I felt his hands on me. He knelt before me with sadness on his face.

“Look at me.” He demanded and I reluctantly looked at him. He used his pinky finger to wipe away the tears that were rolling out freely.

“My parents…” I cried and placed my head on his shoulders.

“Rose.” Another voice called out to me. Leo and I both turned to see Damien and Ciara standing there.

“Someone is here to see you.” Ciara said with a grim smile. Leo wriggled his eyebrows at them but they did not reply instead they started walking away.

I stood up and dusted my knees before following them to the pack house.

Damien pushed the door open and we all went in. I narrowed my eyes as I saw the person that was standing there.

He turned around to look at me and I saw his Adam apple moved slightly.

“What is he doing here?” I asked.

“Well, this man here has lots of things to tell you. Will you calm down and listen?” Hudson said with pleading eyes. I looked away and sat down.

“Reika,” He spoke up and I turned to look at him, telling to explain further.

“Your real name is Reika Roosevelt.” He said and my eyes went wide.

“What do you mean?” I asked and stood up.

“Actually, we both agreed to use your mother’s surname.” He said with a dreamy smile.

“You…” I pointed at him. Hope it was not what I was thinking.

“Yes, I am your father.” He said with a deep exhale.

“What?!” I yelled.

“Listen, I will tell how it all happened.” He said , using his hands to gesture to me to calm down as if he knew that I was about to pounce on him and throw punches on his face. I looked at him to continue before losing my cool.

“This was how it happened…”

**Flashback**

~Third Person Point Of View~

He has just being relieved of his position as a bar man. He had given up that job in order to become the Beta of Ash Woods Pack. Who wouldn’t? The Alpha had made that offer to him.

Then suddenly, as he walked through the woods, he heard a feminine cry. He came to an halt immediately and narrowed his eyes. It was almost evening and the sun was about to set. He became cautious and looked around for the place where the voice came from.

Then the cry came again, this time as a groan. He walked towards the place with caution and saw a lady dressed in sackcloth. She looked at him with sudden fear.

“Who are you?” They asked in unison. He raised his eyebrows at her.

“I should be the one asking you that question because the Alpha would torture you to get it out of your lips.” He said and placed his hands into his pocket. She gulped lightly, suddenly nervous.

She definitely cannot meet the Alpha, at least not now. She thought.

“I am Nora.” She said and she was not going to give him more information other than that. He looked at her.

“Austin is my name.” He knew he needed to be careful around her. Especially when her eyes was the rarest amber.

“What happened to you?” His question cut off the sudden tension between them.

“I was walking along when I hit my foot against a stone and fell.” She said and he could see the evidence on her. Her forehead was covered with dust.

“Where are you coming from?” He questioned again. This time she did not know what to reply.

“I was coming from the neighboring pack.” She said and stood up, attempting to make a run but he held her.

“Give me your pack’s name.” He said and her eyes went wide open, her lips twitched as being caught redhanded.

“I was thrown out and I already broke off the connection with them. It is of no use to me again. And besides it is one of the smallest packs around.” She said and snatched her hands away.

“Can your have your contact?” He asked and brought out his cell phone. She sighed and gave him.

“Will give you a call.” He said and he rang her, making sure she did not give him a wrong number. Her phone rang and they both nodded their heads before going on different paths.

The real reason he had collected was because in case anything happened back at his pack he would be able to reach her. But things did not even change.

Since then, they have been talking and getting to know each other. Until one day he found out the darkest truth behind her existence. It was capable of bringing an end to their relationship but the unexpected happened…
