The Alpha Who Cursed His Mate novel Chapter 37

Leon eats the breakfast platter with baked beans, bacon, toast, and mushrooms.

As soon as we finish eating, we head to the car. I take over driving while Leon sticks his head out the window and tries to pick up Nina's scent. We spend all afternoon and half the night driving. Panic is building up inside me as I fear for Nina's safety.

I pull over just in time as my eyes turn black, and I yell in pain.

"His wolf Dad! We have to stop him from shifting," May says as she jumps out of the back seat and opens up the driver's side. It's dark, but being werewolves, we can see well. May holds my hand.

"Think of Nina, think of all the fun times you had. The swims in the lake, the trees you climbed, the time she filled the washing machine with bubble bath,"

My wolf calms, and I burst into laughter at the memory.

"It wasn't Nina who filled it with bubbles. It was me. It was always me doing the wrong thing. Yet she always took the blame. She was always protecting me," I confess.

"Nina got into so much trouble because of that," Leon growls.

"I suppose now is the time to confess. I also broke May's window and hid in her closet. Nina was with me, but she didn't hide. Instead, she again took the blame," A terrible feeling washes over me.

"Nina, please be okay," I say, staring at the moon.

Something whacks my head.

"Ow!" I look up at May.

"That's for breaking my window," she whacks me again.

"Ow!"

"That's for letting Nina take the blame,"

She goes to whack me across the head again.

"And this one is for you to snap out of it and pull yourself together,"

Leon grabs her wrist in time.

"That's enough, May. He has learned his lesson and feels guilty for it,"

May sighs, "You're right. Let's get some sleep and continue our search when we wake."

We fall asleep and wake up mid-morning.

Leon Mind-Links the warriors and my Dad. There has been no sighting of Nina or Moss.

Dad mind-links me. He wants me to return home.

"No, I'm not returning home until Nina is safe." I block the mind link before my Dad can argue with me.

We stop at a petrol station and fill up the tank. May and I grab as many packets of chips, snack bars, and water as we can carry and pay for it with the fuel.

"If he truly cares for Nina, he would not have kidnapped her. I hope she is okay and that she knows we won't give up on her,"

"It's her eighteenth next week. If we haven't found her by then, maybe she will shift and be able to fight Moss and free herself?"

"May, I don't think I could go another day without her."

As soon as daylight arrives, we hit the streets and show a photo with Nina in it.

"Excuse me, sir, have you seen this girl?"

"No, sorry,"

"Excuse me, miss, have you seen this girl?"

"No, I haven't,"

We are just about to call it a day when an older lady looks harder at the photo.

"I haven't seen the girl you are looking for, but I have seen him," she says, pointing to Moss standing behind Nina in the photo.

"Are you sure? When and where did you see him?" I ask.

"Moss, I think his name is. He is the future Alpha of a pack of ruthless, mongrel rogues,"
