Celie sat by my side and waited for me to calm down before she said anything. She knew that there were a lot of problems that I was dealing with right now and there were a lot of people that I was pretty pissed off with. She knew that it was all too much for me. I didn’t grow up with all of this so I didn’t know what I was in for. I didn’t know what to expect. I just didn’t want to be used anymore.
I didn’t want anyone using me anymore. But that doesn’t change the fact that I can’t stop thinking about them. I’m always thinking about them.
When they are near me, I need them to be near me. I want them near me. They are completely messing with my head and I had no idea how they were doing it.
I rolled over a couple of times as I was getting uncomfortable in the one spot and I saw that the IV was finally finished so Celie had to walk around my bed and take it out of my hand. They were fluids to get the wolfsbane out of my system.
“Why the hell are these hospital beds so big?” I asked.
“Because when a wolf gets injured their mate usually stays with them. It helps them heal if they are together. And there's still room to move around.” Celie explained.
“That’s really weird.” I said. And she chuckled as she went to go and sit back down in her chair.
“Alright. I know about the curse and that the twins' mate is meant to break it. What else am I missing?” I asked.
“Well, you are a white wolf. Ava is. I think she’s been suppressed for so long because you grew up around humans. But you still hear her talking to you. The curse was placed a century ago when the Blackwood pack and the Stoneheart pack teamed up and hunted a witch down that was attacking werewolves. She was trying to wipe us out of existence. She killed a lot of us. But she didn’t kill enough and the two packs joined forces and found out where she was. Her last words were the curse that she muttered to both packs. And they’ve been living with it for a century. I have wolves in the cell downstairs, but the Blackwood pack doesn’t. And it only affects the Alpha’s of their pack. It affects a lot more of us in Stoneheart.” Celie explained. And I tried to take in everything that she was saying.
I knew about the curse. I’d heard about it. But no one really explained it to me before.
“So, what happens to the twins if they are affected by the curse?” I asked. And her eyes softened as she looked at me.
“If they lose their mate then they will likely die because of it.” She said.
I sat in the bed staring at her, not really believing what she just told me.
If they lost me, if I left them, then they could die. I knew that a curse wasn’t something that you could mess around with but I didn’t think it would be life threatening.
I guess I could really understand why they didn’t want to lose me now. I know that I was just a tool for the curse, but without me, they were going to die.
I don’t know what I would do in that sort of situation. If my life was on the line.
Well, I guess I sort of do. I ran away. I took off and didn’t let anyone from back home find me.
“I just don’t want people to keep using me for something that they want of me.” I admitted.
“I don’t believe that they are doing that. It’s a lot more complicated than you realize. How the whole matebond works. How wolves and their mates feel towards each other.” She said.
She was right. There was a lot that I didn’t understand about that world. I was living with Dean and I still don’t think anything was really cleared up for me.
No one told me about werewolves. They only told me that I was going to be an Alpha of his pack because I was his first born. That’s all he was interested in.
No one was interested in actually teaching me about werewolves.
