The Alpha's Curse The Enemy Within

Thea's point of view

| stepped out of the washing room, fixing my robe on my body properly, as water trickled down my body. My

eyes fell on the figure that was waiting foron the bed.

Immediately, | hurried to the door, and it wasn't even locked from the inside. | sighed, locking it with my magic. |

spun around and my brown eyes watched my lover, comfortably seated on the bed.

"Seriously, anyone could have easily wandered in and found you here," | said, dumping the towel on the dressing

table. | sighted my brooch on the table, grabbed it, tossing it into my wooden drawer. | grabbed a new towel and

used it to dry my wet and sticky hair.

"By anyone, you mean Killian, don't you?" | heard him say behind me, catching the look on his face through the

mirror.

"This isn't the tto get reckless, love. If we get caught, everything fails, and my plans of revenge all these

years would have been for nothing," | reminded, grabbing a dress from the rack.

Believe me, | haven't felt good like this in months. Ever Since that bitch rammed into Killian's life and interfered

with my plans, it's been one problem to another. But today, | felt awesomely good. And | loved it, even though

it's all thanks to that bitch.

| never expected this thing inside ofto be quite useful. At first, | just needed it to stay a bit longer in the pack

for a few days before Alpha Lucius's arrival. But it caused far more chaos in Killian's and that bitch’s love life,

forcing her to leave the pack, and by the looks of things, she may never return.

I smiled to myself, feeling the sweet breath of my lover on my neck. "You know | don't care about what Lucius

wants and his plans," | met his gaze through the mirror as he whispered in my ears.

"Yes, | do know you don't care about that. But you care aboutbecause | am your mate. That's why you

agreed to helptake revenge on Killian, whom you once valued as your brother," | placed a kiss on his lips,

moving away to wear my dress.

When | first arrived at this cursed pack, | never expected to be mated to a wolf. Frankly, | hated their kind, but

this mate of mine proved to be useful to me. | narrated my entire story to him, and he was more than willing to

help me.

| laughed to myself. These bonds that exist between mates were more of a curse and sadly none of them

realized that. Being willing to go to the extrfor someone else because they'd both share a connection was

just pathetic. | preferred looking out for myself by myself, it had always worked just fine for me.

| turned around to find his eyes on me.

"Any word from Killian? Has he spoken about what plans he has for his child and me?" | asked him, fastening my

boots.

"My child, you mean?" His words sounded, and his voice possessive. "That child is mine, Thea, and | hate it when

you address it as Killian's."

"You don't have to remind me. And we need to be cautious with our words, | don't want anything to go wrong," |

said to him.

"Killian doesn't care about you or the child. He's more interested in getting Luna back," he muttered, causing a

frown to cover my face.

"Bloody bastard!" | cursed under my breath. "Well, that would never happen. Everyone knows | am expecting the

Alpha's child. His fucking heir. And that's enough humiliation for your so-called Luna. | doubt she would be back."

"Don't be too certain, Killian is going crazy without her. Don't underestimate the bond between mates, Thea. You,

of all people, should know what one is capable of doing for their mates," he was by my side, wrapping his arms

around me.

"You are right, | know too well," | said.

"I can't wait for all these to be over. | want to start a life with you and my pup," he muttered, and | could only

nod, masking my true emotions with a smile.

Having a child was the last thing | was ever going to do. The thing growing withinstill has its life because it's

useful. Very useful. Now, because of its existence, | am almost certain that bloody bastard, Alpha Killian, and his

whore, Sheila, will never get together again.

"I can't wait too. But before that happens, Killian needs to pay for what he did to my parents. He will grovel on

his knees, knowing | destroyed him. And then it's left for the Alpha to do whatever he wants with him," Just

imagining it madeecstatic.

"And Luna?"

"Hopefully, she still wouldn't be back by then. And if by ill luck she's back, it'll be fun having her witness it all," |

smiled again, before moving my gaze to my lover.

"Lucius would never allow you to harm her, and besides, you know how powerful she is," he voiced.

"That doesn't matter, | have my ways," Before then, I'll have to find a way to get rid of that tramp. Only the

goddess knows how much | hated her. And | would only be truly happy when both Killian and her meet their

demise.

"And what about Alpha Lucius? His pack has already been conquered and Killian has allies searching for him in

North Central, and throughout the other regions. What's his next plan?" He asked.

"He had to leave the capital, and escape North Central after the attack. He's presently in one of his most trusted

ally packs in the West. He's preparing for his final attack," | smiled, combing my hair.

"So he is coming here?"

I nodded, chirping. "Yes, he is. His hatred for Killian is beyond anything. He wants Killian broken and the Pack at

his disposal," | said, studying my lover's instant reaction.

"Don't worry, love, we will both be fine. But unfortunately, this pack won't be," | swerved to him, placing a hand

on his cheek. "Alpha Lucius is building an army. The witches and warriors that managed to flee from his pack are

with him, and he's making negotiations with other allied packs, requesting their armies as well. When everything

is in order here, Alpha Lucius will be back to burn this pack to the ground."

"Tell me, do you know where she is right now?" | asked him.

"No. But Killian knows, and he isn't worried. So | guess she is somewhere safe." he muttered and | walked to the

window, gazing at the fading sun in the sky.

"That bitch has nowhere else to go. So she might be at the Black Blood Pack," | said.

"| thought so too, but there hasn't been any visitor there the last two days. It's either she isn't there, or she's

hiding somewhere in the castle and no one knows," he cup behind me, his large hands caressing my flat

stomach.

"I know she's there," | said.

"So you still believe she is the one?" He asked, forcingto turn to him.

"Each day my suspicion grows stronger, and the Alpha made sure to keep it a secret, but that bitch isn't his

daughter. At first, | thought something was going on between the tramp and Alpha Kaiser, and | wanted to use

Killian to find out what was going on, but that didn't work. But what shockedthe most was that Alpha

Leonardo, himself, and his brother both raided Alpha Lucius' pack, alongside Killian, to save Sheila. That's not

something you find two packs that mutually detest each other doing," | paused, "Not if they have something in

common, something they'd both want to protect."

"The Luna?"

| nodded, smiling. "That bitch has to be that child the Council keeps searching for. | am positive, it's Sheila," |

released a chortle, laughing at the unruly fate between the bastard and his mate, if my suspicion was in fact

true, and Sheila was the so-called prophesied one, and the sister to Alpha Leonardo and Kaiser.

"If it's indeed true, then she is the one the Dark Circle has also been searching for," | couldn't help but laugh

loudly, and | couldn't stop. My day just kept getting better.

My lover heldtightly from my waist, regarding me. "What are you thinking?" He asked, suspiciously.

"I will tell you when | have confirmed that your dear Luna is the child your Alpha's father tried to steal as a child.

When | am certain of that, I'll tell you, | promise," | pecked his lips, unable to hide the euphoria and excitement.

If my suspicion was right, then | wouldn't have to do anything to either the Alpha or his dear Luna. Alpha Lucius

has a great plan for Killian, and whereas that bitch, I also have wonderful plans for her. One that would

guarantee her imminent death at the hands of the Dark Lord himself.

Oh, what a joy.
