The Cursed Alpha

(44) This is war

Chapter 44 (EDITED)

ANDRÉS POV

This is war.

I know the blood moon is close because of the shadows of the unseen and the whispers in the trees.

only thirty hours left until the moon turns the colour of blood, only thirty hours until I'am free again. Only thirty hours and I can have a second chance of life.  

"Alpha, be honest with me," Dave speaks walking beside me

we were making our way back to the pack, The sun has set a long time ago but we were getting the cave ready, the alphas thought- it was all Samael actually who thought it would be a good idea to decorate the cave with flowers so Amma would have a nice mating ceremony.

"what is it?" I ask

I already know what it is, the whole pack knows what it is, it is all the alpha has been thinking about the whole day. He feels guilty for rejecting his mate.

" do you think I made a mistake for not accepting my mate," he asks

"yes"

well, he wanted me to be honest. " if not now, soon you will regret your decision" I add

"but what if I don't feel the same way about him? I always thought my mate will be a.. well a girl" he gulps

"My mother is many things but she's never wrong when it comes to selecting soulmates" I admit "Ibenez might not be a 'girl' but he is your other half, the person who you're supposed to love"

"so you're telling me that if the moon goddess chose Ibenez as your mate, you'll accept him?" Dave questions.

I sigh, I've had a long day and the last thing I needed is the alpha's stupid questions.

"yes" I answer him

"Hmm, aren't you worried what people will say? I mean how can you be the most feared alpha and still have a mate that is you know.."

I stop mid-walk and turn to the alpha, " Dave answer me honestly. Where you dropped as a baby?"

The alpha rolls his eyes "I'm serious Andrés... this has been eating me alive"

I was serious too, I do believe Dave was dropped many times as a baby.

"look, first of all, you'll never be the most feared alpha, I am. Secondly having a mate has nothing to do with your ranking. You shouldn't care about what people say if anyone does disapprove just kill them"

"brother" I greet Cameron

he was in the backyard looking around like he lost something, his face more pale than usual.

"How has Amma been today?" I ask curious, I always ask Cameron after I come home, it has now become a tradition.

I despise being away from my mate the whole day, my wolf and I have grown a weird addiction to being close to her, it physically pains me to leave in the morning.

I can't complain because i get to spend the night with her even if for the half of it she is sleeping.

I smile at the memory of my mate, and how she tries really hard not to fall asleep late in the nights eventually she fails and falls asleep.

"Amma?... she's been good" Cameron chuckles nervously,

something was wrong

'he must have burned the turkey or forgot to turn the oven off' my wolf jokes.
