Alpha's Cursed Mate novel Chapter 36

Estelle's POV

Mia's shock didn't last long, and I was ready to be scolded or beaten by her. But Mia was only silent for a moment then asked me.

"So I guess your mother is a vampire, what about Nathan?"

"Aren't you afraid of me?" I choked on her response.

"A little." Mia cocked her head and thought for a second "But I trust you not to hurt me."

"You don't suspect me?"

"Since Alpha didn't lock you up, it proves that you have nothing to do with the murderer. I know the Alpha doesn't favor anyone, and if you were related to the murderer, he would definitely lock you up."

"I don't know what to say, thank you for believing in me." I gave her a grateful hug.

"I believe you because I know what kind of person you are." She came close to my face "But this is the first time I've seen a vampire, do your eyes turn red?"

"Will. By the way, to answer your earlier question. Yes, my mother is a vampire. Nathan hasn't transformed yet though, I just hope he stays away from vampires."

"Wow, that's cool."

"I don't think there's anything cool about it, vampires are annoying as hell."

"Have you seen any other vampires?"

I thought of Noah's arrogant face. "Seen them, but they're not quite normal."

"Don't worry, you look normal. And I think you're even prettier than before."

I believe this is a side effect of the vampire's power, my skin because it is now without a blemish and whiter than before. And the color of my hair is slowly lightening and I don't even know what it will end up looking like.

"By the way, what did you just say. what happened to Ethan's mate who passed away?"

"It's really just a rumor that Ethan's MATE died in an accident when they were first awakened. So now he's got so many girlfriends and none of them can be in love for more than three months."

"When he first awakened? About 15 or 16 years old?"

"I don't know about that, you can ask the Alpha about it."

"Oh, no. I'm definitely not going to ask." Although after getting to know Ethan, he was very easy-going with his wolf pack. But I think there's a very dark side to his personality.

I haven't been able to see Ethan lately, he's been sent out to investigate the vampire incident. Because Alpha Anthony's wolf pack was attacked by a pack of low-level vampires, there were many werewolf casualties. I'm praying for Anthony in my heart, he's a good man and I don't want anything to happen to him.

School life is still as boring as ever, and I haven't had a good meal in days. Ordinary food is missing a lot of flavor for me. I can't help but think about the blood, that sticky sweet taste.

"Happy Birthday!" Mia interrupted my imagination. She pulled out a beautifully wrapped box from somewhere, and she slipped it into my hand.

I lit up my phone screen and the date on it was indeed my birthday. If not for Mia's reminder, I would have forgotten that today is my 18th birthday.

"Thanks." I hugged her.

Growing up, I didn't expect anyone to remember my birthday. I used to envy the children who were pampered by their parents, whose birthdays were usually surrounded by cakes and gifts. I had to work on my birthday to pay the family's electricity bill. Then I often forgot my birthday because there was nothing to celebrate that day.

But that reminds me, Nathan hasn't had many birthdays either. When we were very young, we would share a blueberry pie that a neighbor gave us on our birthday. But when he grew up, he didn't care to spend his birthday with me. Now that he's been off the drug for a few months, I should buy him a present.

Before class, our counselor called my name in a stern tone, "Estelle, come see me in the office later." Some of the girls who couldn't stand me started whispering.

"What did you do?" Mia turned to me and asked.

"I have absolutely no idea."

Now that my hand was on top of the office door handle, I suddenly started to get nervous. I hadn't fought with anyone in the last few days, I shouldn't have made any mistakes.

But I opened the door and saw that it was indeed Lance, sitting in our teacher's office chair, the office was empty, and the teachers had gone to class.

"Happy birthday." He actually remembered my birthday, and I pursed my own lips to keep from looking too obviously happy.

I looked at my hands, and I thought that the vampire's powers would counteract the wolf's strength. But my strength and speed had simply doubled from before. And a keen sense of smell. I smelled a craveable scent in the air.

Skyler's back was scratched by the metal of the locker and slowly red blood was seeping out of the fabric of her back. The taste of her blood was very common, and I was reminded again of the sweet taste of Lance's blood.

I wanted to get as far away from her as possible, the taste of her blood awakening my instincts. I wanted to bite into her carotid artery, but reason drove me away from her.

But Skyler grabbed me, "Don't you dare run." Her fist came at my face and I deflected her attack. Then a kick up to her ribs kept her away from me.

Her blood was on my clothes and my nostrils smelled of her blood. I pinched my thighs, trying to clear my head in this way. But the hunger in my belly was getting worse and worse, and my fangs were already coming out of my mouth. Even without looking in the mirror, it was clear to me that my eyes had turned red.

Never let Skyler know my identity, or she will definitely tell everyone in the wolf pack. And then use that to slander me as the pack's murderer. I turned my back to Skyler, hoping she would let me get the hell out of here. But I heard her get up, it was over, but even if she was going to shoot me in the back I couldn't turn around.

Just as I was about to endure the attack from behind, someone helped me block the attack with great speed.

"Alpha?" I heard Skyler's shaky voice.

"Fvck off!" Lance picked my trembling body up

I was shaking all over and the onset of blood thirst was clouding my eyes with a red filter. I couldn't see anything, I just felt like I was moving fast. And my sense of smell became even sharper, the smell of Lance's body made my saliva start to secrete.

"It's okay, we're home." I faintly heard Lance say that.

The hunger for blood made me scratch my throat, the thirst for blood made me lose my mind. lance grabbed my hand and pinned me to the carpet.

"Don't hurt yourself." I could see the reflection of my madness in his eyes. My fangs were coming out of my mouth and my eyes were frighteningly red.

Lance put one arm around my waist to keep me still, and the other pressed my head against his shoulder.

"You'll break down if you keep going like this. Drink my blood."

I gulped at his words, but what little sanity I had left kept me from doing something I would regret. But after Lance saw that I didn't move, he cut his own skin directly. The smell of blood rushed into my nostrils, and my last bit of sanity wore off.

My sharp teeth pierced his veins and the warm, sticky liquid slid all the way down my mouth and into my stomach, and a contented sigh escaped my nostrils.
