Alpha’s Cursed Mate

***********

Rose’s POV

***********

“You are a fool, don’t you see what this lady is trying to do with you?” The feminine voice from earlier on ask in total exasperation. I slowly opened my eyes to see them standing chest to chest as they glared daggers at each other.

“You were ordering me?” He asked.

“I was not. I was only reminding you of the reason you kidnapped her and stop being close to her. She is trying to get to your head and as the stupid and gullible wolf that you are, you believed her and came to confront me. For someone who will love to overthrow their Alpha, you are quite a dummy.” She said and he growled.

“Hey, don’t growl on me when I am just stating the fact. The portion will be available tomorrow. Then we will return her in the next two days.” The feminine voice said and sat down. I breathed out and they seemed to have notice because their heads turned to look at me. Jackson walked towards me with a smirk.

“You tried.” He said with a sly smile before he pulled me by hair and hit me on my face. I winced out in pain.

“You know I thought you were quite childish when I met at that party but now that I see it, you are… Cunning and I must say I am stupid for listening to you.” He said and I managed to break into a big laugh.

“You are the stupid one here. Do you know what witches do when they come into a agreement with whatever specie of supernatural. They like being in charge of the plan. So I get she tried convincing you that I am trying to instigate you. Hey witch,” I called out and she looked at me with her eyebrows twitching for a second that I would not have caught it if I did not look closely.

“Do you want to know who my grandmother is?” I asked and she seemed interested.

“Athena Roosevelt.” I said and her eyes widened before it came back to her neutral signature face. She soon laughed out.

“Athena is long dead and I am very sure she will be rotting in wherever she is.” She said and took a smoke out of the cigar that was in her hands.

“But do you know that her offspring is still alive?” I asked her. I really need to bait her. With something at least.

She smirked and rested on her laps with her elbows. “I will advise you to stop trying to bait me. Only a new breed witch won’t know that both of Athena’s children are dead. Not to talk of that fact that they went against their mother. You know in the witches realm. We always send a message of warning to Athena that her kids behavior was unacceptable in the witches realm. But then somehow, Athena rose up to be the keeper of all the covens then we all feared her to the extent that we allow her to do all types of shit. But all thanks to the fact that she has some shit with the Alpha King, we were finally free and she was on the run. Who knew what went on between them?” She said all in one word.

I also wonder what Athena did to make the Alpha king be so angry that he wanted to wipe them out of the face of the earth. Well, it’s not my story to tell by the way. She does not believe that my mother is still alive. Maybe it is for my good. My lips pulled up into a smile and rested again the wall.

“Water and food?” I asked. Jackson tilted his head to one side to look at me. He stood up and walked towards the table but the witch stood up and carried the tray then she walked towards me. She crouched down to my level and opened the water bottle. Then a strange smell drifted into my nose.

“Wolf’s bane.” Halona’s voice said in my head and I lit up at the fact that she was alive.

“Drink.” The witch ordered me as she brought it to my lips.

“Don’t you think you are quite stupid if you think I will watch you feed me wolf’s bane.” I spat and moved my head away because the smell was making me feel like vomiting.

“Then you would go two more days without water. I want to see how you will survive.” With that said, she stood up and carried the tray away. I scoffed out.

“So can you tell me why I was kidnapped?” I asked Jackson.

“Do you know that I was the one that supposed to be Blake’s Beta but then your mate did not only become his Beta but the entire pack Alpha. Do you think just because he has the Alpha blood from another bloodline means everyone is satisfied with him. No, that position that he seemed to be enjoying is mine and I will take it back!” He spat at me and marched out of the place.

I breathed out and relaxed. I let my mind drift towards Leo.

So this Jackson of a guy was doing all of this because of a position that he does not deserve. I snorted and looked at the witch that would not stop looking at me like I was someone filled with mystery.

“I tried hypnotizing you earlier on,” she spoke up.

“But surprisingly, you did not even get affected. So I feel like you are more than the energy you give out.” She added.

“I told you that I am Athena’s grandchild.” I said and this will be the first time I will be boasting about that and it feels bitter in the tongue. She looked at me and smirked.

“You being the child of Athena does not freak me out but you being an hybrid, no, not just an hybrid but a witch hybrid makes me feel unsettled. I even tried getting to know your deepest secret. It was unreachable.” She mused.

“Something is stopping me from seeing it. It feels like a something from the other specie of the supernatural. But anyways, forget about it. After you are done with the purpose you serve here. You will be returned.” She dismissed.

“So who walked up to who first for the agreement? And what do you get in return?” I asked her.

“Don’t. Don’t even try.” She warned and disappeared.

I will also learn that spell. In fact it will be the first I will ask my mother as soon as I get out of here. And how the hell am I sure things will remain okay after I leave here?

I hope it would be.

“Halona,” I called out and it went all dead. Again.

My stomach grumbled loudly as I traced my gaze to the tray to the table. That’s temptation. I closed my eyes and let myself drift to darkness.

I don’t know how long I have been out but again sat these couple. I will start calling them couple since they looked like one. They seemed to be making some green portion. They were so focused.

I wonder what they are going to use it for. I narrowed my eyes on the book before them.

“Done!” The witch remarked with a victorious smile and Jackson grinned like a bastard that he definitely is. I hissed out, gaining their attention. They turned towards me.

“What day is it?” I asked.

“The day you will be returned to your pack.” Jackson said and came towards me.

“Sorry Luna that I could not serve you here. Because this will be the last time that you will be called a Luna. You are going to regret taking that Alpha and Luna position.” He said followed by a sadistic laughter. I looked at him, not getting what he meant.

The witch walked towards me and whispered some spells. And everything went blank in my head.

“Lift her and let’s get going.” Was all I heard the last time.

~Third Person Point Of View~

Just as they carried Rose out of the cell and the building. They paid the person that had rented the place to them. Jackson dumped her on the back seat with his heart hammering against his chest.

“Do not be scared. I already wiped her memory of the time she spent here since I tried getting into her memory but it was impossible. She won’t recognize you. All you have to do, you know it already. ” Teresa said. She was the witch that Jacksonville had hired. Jackson nodded his head and ignited the car’s engine. He zoomed off with his hands gripping the steering wheel in a deadly grip.

“What did the steering wheel do to you to deserve that death grip?” Teresa asked and Jackson looked at her.

“Why ain’t you bothered about all this?” He asked.

“You are scared. At least one of us should be confident.” She said with a shrug and rested her head on the seat. They were seated at the front of the car. Jackson hissed out and focused back on the road.

Soon after they got to their destination. Jackson hurriedly pulled out of the car and carried Rose out. He carried her to the border of the pack where he knows that the patrols won’t be there till tomorrow morning. He dropped her there and Teresa cast some spell on him and it hid her scent that was on him. They looked at each other and Jackson gave her a curt nod. Teresa whispered some spell and disappeared. Jackson looked around and walked to his house discreetly.
