The Alpha’s Mate Who Cried Wolf

Chapter 47

‘So, it doesn’t look like you two were having a full-on make-out session that literally messed up Nina’s

bedroom. Even your mattress is on the floor…. Josie laughs.

I get myself off of Nina and help her up from the mattress on the floor.

‘So, which one of you is going to explain this situation?’ Flint asks

Nina and I point at each other and the others laugh.

‘Well, we can’t tell you.’ I say.

‘What do you mean you can’t tell us?’ Zak growls.

Because our Luna said we aren’t to tell anyone else.’ Nina explains.

‘Who else knows about this secret thing you are keeping from us? Zak asks.

‘All our parents know, and then us two.’ I say.

‘So, our parents all know about whatever it is but we aren’t allowed to be let in on it?’ Zak says.

Correct.’ I say too guilty to look them in the eye.

‘If you don’t let us in on what is going on, then I’m going to tell everyone about you two making out.’

Josie smirks.

Nina and I give each other a look.

‘Fine, get in here and shut the door behind you.’I grumble.

Everyone finds a spot sitting on boxes. Nina and I sit on the mattress.

Ilean over and grab the book and hand it to Zak first.

‘We were searching Nina’s room for any relics someone may have hidden in here.’

Relics? And why I am holding a book of Spells and Hexes!’ Zak asks.

I can’t shift without it causing immense pain. We had a witch come over to see if she could figure it out.’

A witch? Josie says.

‘Yes, turns out there is a secret coven that still exists. The witch came over and stated clearly, I can’t

shift without it causing pain because of a curse Nina carries.’

“Nina’s cursed? Flint asks,

“Yes, we don’t know what kind of curse or how it affects her, but it is affecting me. Without knowing who

cursed her or what the curse actually is, we can’t break it So, Pipsqueak and I broke into the town’s

library secret, forbidden room to research curses. This book was the only one I had come across so far

that may be helpful.’

“Wait, wall, wall hold on a minute! There is a secret room in the library? And who is Pipsqueak?’ Josie

asks

“Yes, the library keeps all the torbidden and banned books in there. It was like a military operation to

get in there without being Caught you know. Pipequeak is a friend from school. You all know her.’

Everyone gives each other a confused look Zak passes the spell book to Flint

tead in the book dial some curses can be made from relics being placed in the bedroom Nina and I

were searching her room when you guyé knocked and startled us Nina slipped, I caught her, and well,

you all saw the rest.’

Who would want to put a curse on Nina, though

makes the sease Josie trowns

We don’t know We ale wyung to do what we can in the meantime to break it No one else knows about

this but us, our parents, and Pipsqueak Mother thanks Nana’s ute will be in danger of the pack finds

out she is cursed and its affecting me, the future Alpha

Everyone gasps and stares ar Nina with worry.

“I’ll be fine as long as we keep this to ourselves and besides, nothing has changed about me. It hasn’t

affected me… yet, anyway.’

‘If anyone notices anything that might be related to the curse, then let me know straight away.’ I say.

Everyone nods and we part ways and go to bed for the night.

I’m early for breakfast for the first time. Mum takes her seat on dad’s lap.

‘Alphas and their packs will begin arriving today for your wolf ceremony tomorrow night.’ She says.

I hadn’t really thought much about it until now. On your Eighteen at the stroke of midnight, we have our

first shift and meet our wolves. The shift is involuntary, and the wolf takes over completely

Mum, Dad, if I already had my first shift, does that mean I won’t shift at midnight tomorrow or will I still

involuntarily shift? I’m meant to not shift. Remember to avoid the pain. Last time, I ended up with that

horrid fever for days.’

Mum and Dad stare at each other and mind link each other for a few minutes. When they finish their

private conversation, they both turn to look at me,

‘We hadn’t thought about the fact you might shift tomorrow night. There isn’t much we can do other

than have the pack doctor nearby and wait.

Flint and Josie enter the dining room, Mum and Dad change the subject, as they don’t know Josie and

Flint are aware of everything

now.

‘You might meet your mate as soon as today.’ Mum smiles.

‘Yeah… maybe.’ I say unenthused.

It should excite me I can find my mate now, but for some reason

I’m dreading it. I feel disappointed and I don’t understand why.

Nina enters the room and I can’t help but smile when I see her. She gives me a small smile in return

and sits down for breakfast.

‘Surely, you’re not wearing those clothes today when Alphas are coming to see you. They will bring

their unmated daughters too, you know! You must look your finest.’ Mum says.

Nina, May, Josie, and the boys try to contain their giggles.

‘What’s wrong with these jeans and this shirt?’

“Goodness Magnus, let’s go find something more presentable in your wardrobe.’ She stands up and

drags me up the stairs. Sometimes I wonder how she has so much strength in that tiny body of hers. I

assume being Luna strengthens her more than a regular she-wolf, Mum rummages through my

wardrobe and hands me over suit pants with a white shirt and a maroon tie.

“Are you serious, Murn? It’s not a ball.’

No, it’s not a ball. It’s an even bigger event than that, my child. It’s your eighteenth! Your wolf

ceremony! Now get changed and get crackeracking this instance’ She orders as she leaves my room,

Sighing, I fall back onto my bed and lay there for ten minutes before I get myself dressed. I pull my

black shoes out from under the bed and put them on. I come back down the stairs and all eyes are on

me.

“Now, that’s more like it’Mum smiles

comb any hav Dach using my fingers as Nina walks towards me.

She smiles al me and plepe that little bit closer Our faces are near She smiles and I blush to wonder if

she is about to kiss me in front of everyone instead, her hands reach up and she adjusts my te and

places a hand on my chest

‘There What’better Now you look perfect for your mate. She says with a sad smile ‘I hope she is

Alpho Kyu,

Audi’s buen far too long since we’ve seen euch other’ He smules

“Alpha Mason, we are so glad you could make it for our son’s wolf ceremony.’ Mother says graciously.

‘We wouldn’t miss it, especially my two daughters. They have been dying to meet your son. Is he

around perchance?’

.

I’m standing behind the statue of a large knight behind the staircase, hoping to not be found.

Magnus, there you are.’ Mother smiles, finding me straight away as if she knows this is where I would

be.

She leads me to our newly arrived guests. The daughters fan their faces and giggle.

“Oh, so handsome.’ One says and they both blush and giggle again.

“Magnus, these are my daughters, Bethany and Addison.’

I step forward and begrudgingly take Bethany’s hand and place a kiss on the back of her hand and do

the same with Addison. I know straight away neither of them is my fated mate.

*Pleasure to meet you both.’ I say.

“And a pleasure to meet you too.’ Bethany says with a curtesy.

‘Yes, a pleasure.’ Addison says copying her sister’s curtesy

“And this is my son Hank, future Alpha of the Greystone pack.’

We make eye contact and shake hands as the front door opens; Nina enters.

“And who is that stunning, beautiful creatuuuure ough!’ He yells pulling his hand from my tight grip.

‘You almost broke my hand?

“Oh, did 1? Oops, sometimes I forget my strength, forgive me.’I smirk.
