The Alpha Who Cursed His Mate novel Chapter 36

"Mate!" He says, squeezing her so tight she whimpers, and her glasses fall.

"Zak, I need to speak with Pipsqueak urgently," I tell him.

"Mine!" He snarls, holding her tight.

"Pipsqueak?" Josie says, "That's Pippa, you idiot,"

"Whatever, we don't have time for name games. Moss kidnapped Nina, and we need to know which way they have gone,"

"S-south," Pipsqueak manages to say.

Zak kisses her face and neck a hundred times, causing her to blush as red as a beetroot.

"T-that T-tickles." She laughs at him.

Leon and I run from the ceremony hall and then stop to brief each other.

"You can't shift into your wolf, Magnus. I suggest we go south by car. Otherwise, you won't be able to keep up."

He is right. I nod, and we run towards the packhouse.

Seth, mind links the pack warriors to head south and begin tracking Nina.

While I jump into the passenger seat of his car, he speeds off into the distance. In the distance, we can see the warriors in their wolf forms spread out searching.

"If he lays one finger on my sister, I'll kill him," May growls in the back seat.

Leon slams on the brakes.

"May, what are you doing here? Go back to the packhouse,"

"No, I've never been there for Nina when she has needed me. I've been a terrible sister to her, to the point she doesn't even talk to me anymore. But she needs me now more than ever, and I'm going to help save her whether I come with you or go on my own." She growls at her Dad.

"You better buckle up then." Leon says and speeds ahead.

It's 3 am. We have driven through the major city. We have been driving with the windows down to keep track of Nina's scent. Leon is growing weary and tired.

"Leon, maybe I should drive for a while?"

"No, Nina's scent is becoming fainter. We don't have time to pull over, not even for a moment. The last time I came through this city to track down a scent was to find your mother after Alice, our old cook, threatened to kill her,"

"We are no good, dead to Nina. We have no choice but to sleep, then continue searching for her." May yells.

Neither of us argues with her. May is right.

Leon pulls over, and we sleep in the car and wake in the afternoon.

"We should eat," May says.

"No, we should get driving and find Nina,"

"Dad! You need to eat. We all do. What good are we if we are weak when we find her and need to fight?"

Leon stays silent as he drives to a diner.

"Eat quickly." He says.

We nod, walk in, and place our order.

I inhale my massive pile of eggs and bacon down. At the same time, May inhales a stack of fifteen pancakes swimming in golden syrup.
