Alpha’s Cursed Mate

***********

Leo’s POV

***********

The car right in front of my apartment. I paid him and stepped out with my suitcase in my hands.

I looked around and saw someone come out from Ciara’s former house. I smiled and walked inside. Pushing the door open, I dropped my suitcase on the floor beside the couch and collapsed on the chair.

I pulled at my tie recklessly and unbutton my shirt. I inhaled and exhaled.

Grr! Grrrr!

My phone rang and I forced the phone out of my pocket and saw who the caller was. My troublesome sister. I sighed and hit the green button.

“I just checked your location now and it shows you are already in Florida.” She said almost immediately.

I shook my head and said, “Yeah, just got back.”

“Will come see soon.” She said and hung up.

I threw my phone to God knows where and bent slightly. I pulled off my shoes and socks. I placed the socks into my shoes and struggled to get up. I took the shoes in my hands and was about to go when I remembered that my suitcase was still lying on the floor, I turned back tiredly and went to carry it. I dragged it with the shoes in my hands and then saw my phone lying just in front of the lampstand, I sighed and bent down to pick it. I looked at it to see if it was broken and thank goodness it wasn’t. I dragged my legs and went to my room.

Dropping the shoes on the racks and pulling out the socks and flinging them into the clothes basket. I finally pulled off my shirt completely and threw it away on the bed. But it did not stay on the bed instead it fell on the floor. I uttered a snort and slumped on bed. I rolled over on my back and gazed at the ceiling.

With time, my eyes started closing. I tried keeping it open but failed miserably. Spending a total of four hours and some minutes in the plane without closing my eyes is exhausting.

Just as I was about dozing off, my phone made a sing-song tone snapping me out of my sleep. I sprang up out of frustration and picked my phone angrily only to see a message popping on my screen.

It was Ciara’s message.

“Have you gotten home?” She texted. I unlocked it and clicked few letters then I pressed the ‘send’ button.

“Yeah, just arrived.”

“Oh, okay then.” She texted back.

“Take care.” I texted back and turned my phone off to prevent further disturbance but I guess fate was against me today as my friend who was an Alpha, picked this time to call me.

I scratched my hair, contemplating whether to pick it or ignore it. After a while, the phone stopped ringing and I hurriedly switched off my phone.

I threw my body back on the bed and soon dozed off.

********************

I found myself in a very deserted street and stood there.

“What am I doing here?” I thought as I turned on heels to see what this place was. I looked down at my toes and tried moving them. They moved. I walked down the street looking around for any living thing but there was none.

“Anyone here?” I shouted and I could hear my voice echo throughout the place. No reply.

“Anyone here?” I yelled again.

Then suddenly I heard gnashing of teeth. I whirled around and came face to face with a wolf-like animal who had saliva dripping down its mouth.

I swallowed hard and beads of sweats started dripping down my face. I dabbed them off with back of my palm.

The animal started taking slow strides towards me. I stared at him as he took the steps. He took a step forward, I took a step backward. Forward again, backward again. I tried morphing into my wolf but the change did not happen.

I closed my eyes again and opened it. I saw my body has not change it’s form.

“You fvcking wolf, damn it.” I yelled.

Then I picked on my heels and darted into a run. The wolf soon started chasing after me.

“Help!” I yelled out as I was running. My clothes already gotten soaked in sweats.

“Help!” I yelled again.

I was running in a way that I have never ran before. Each and every step the wolf takes shook the ground to its cores.

I was still yelling out for help that I didn’t see see a stone just right before me. In a blink of an eye and without thinking, I stumbled upon the stone and fell flat on the floor.

“Ouch!” I winced out. Then I remembered that I was being chased by a bloodlust wolf. I scrambled and turned around, still on the floor. Fear crossed my face.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

The wolf screeched to an halt and in the process of doing that, some stones had moved and breeze blew. I shaded my face away.

I felt some liquid drop on my arms, I gulped dryly and brought my hands down slowly and saw the wolf standing right in front of me with fangs elongated and tongue salivating.

I looked straight into his dark brown eyes and then the realisation hit me.

He was me. I was being chased by myself. He was me and I am him.

He was my wolf. My wolf.

He opened his mouth. Then everything went blank.

**************

I jerked up immediately breathing heavily. I was also sweating profusely. I touched my chest trying to regulate my breath.

I finally did. I stood up and staggered my way to the table. I carried the jug and drank water from it.

Some poured on my body. I dropped it and walked tiredly towards the bathroom.

I stared at myself in it and saw just how tired I looked.

I went into the shower and stood under it. The water was so relaxing and soothing in its own ways.

I exhaled and closed my eyes.

“What kind of dream is that?”
