The Alpha Who Cursed His Mate novel Chapter 34

I stand on all fours and sway for a moment from exhaustion. My wolf exits the library and enters the school corridor. Anyone in the corridor quickly runs into the nearest classroom and locks the door.

Dozens of students stare out the windows. They tremble at the fierce size of my wolf with my large snarling teeth on show. I have no control over my wolf. He won't listen to me.

"I know you want your mate, and we will find her one day, but we need to keep Nina safe,"

He lets out a ferocious growl. He has picked up a scent. I realise it's Moss's scent.

"We can't harm Moss, and I know you hate him. I hate him too, but we are the future Alpha of this pack. We can't go around killing someone just because we don't like them,"

My wolf ignores me and is now in pursuit, following the scent up the corridor. He stops at a locked door and howls. Moss is in the room.

My wolf repeatedly rams into the door.

"Magnus?" Nina says behind me. Pipsqueak is next to her.

My wolf nods his head, letting her know he is in control.

"I know Magnus can hear me. You need to give him back control," Nina says.

My wolf growls low.

Nina steps closer and kneels in front of my wolf, something no one else would dare do, not even Pipsqueak. She is so courageous, facing my fierce, unpredictable wolf like this. Her fingers caress the fur on my face and glide down my back. My wolf whimpers and lowers himself down, and rolls onto his back.

Nina giggles as she scratches my belly.

No one can believe their eyes. We aren't mates, yet she can control my wolf. It is unheard of and nothing anyone has seen before. I sit up, and she wraps her arms around my neck. My wolf has completely calmed and completely forgotten Moss is only meters away.

Even though it will be excruciating either way, it's easier when Nina is with me. I focus my mind and whimper. She knows I'm going to shift now. The pain is horrendous, but her touch helps soothe me through the process. I sit up in my human form, thoroughly drenched and weak.

Nina throws her arms around my neck and hugs me. I place my hands on her back and make the most of the moment, knowing I will never get to hold her like this again once I'm mated.

"Let's go home." She smiles.

She helps me stand, and we trudge home. She has my arm over one shoulder, so I don't fall. As soon as we arrive home, Leon and Seth quickly take me from Nina and help me to my room, where I pass out for the rest of the day and night.

"He needs to stop shifting. What if one of these shifts kills him?" Astrid cries as I come down the stairs.

"Mum, please, I had no control over the shift. My wolf wouldn't listen to me, even after we shifted,"

"You realise if you have no control over your wolf and you are shifting against your own will and your wolf's only plan is to kill people, the council will demand you be locked up in the dungeon. Not only that, you may lose your rank as Alpha, and they would then give it to Flint," My father says in a severe tone. 'They have already summoned me to see them today, probably because you almost attacked school students yesterday," Ryker says, slamming his fist on the table. He falls back into his chair and rests his forehead in his hand in frustration.
