Bride of the Cursed Alpha (Auren and Lucien) novel Chapter 70

Chapter 70

Lucien POV

I had already asked Vivi to add herbs to Auren’s food that would prepare her to take my mark. That day when I had taken Auren to the river’s edge for a date. I had found those herbs growing at its edge.

When I had pleasured her, she was so spent that she slept on me. I cradled her for a long time, savoring her delicate body on me, trying my best to tame my cock. But the fucker was raging and wanted to be inside her. Scared that Fd break her before I even began. I carefully lowered her to the ground. Then I shifted into my wolf and ran into the forest to exhaust my wolf. I returned only to find her crying. Goddess, it broke my heart and soul. I decided that I couldn’t handle a crying Auren and would do everything to make her happy

I needed to talk to the Shaman about the mark Auren had on her back. She said it was a birthmark. So I veered my car toward his house.

“Hmmm..” The Shaman took the paper from me and studied it. “And how is this related to Luna Auren?” he asked, his brows furrowed in deep concentration. My park’s Shaman was an old wolf whose father and forefathers served as our Shamans for centuries. He was one of the most trusted pack members of my pack, and I knew that my secret was safe with him.

She has a similar mark on her back.” I s

I said. “But no one other than her pack’s Shaman knows about it. So I am concerned as to who else knows it

Then you should ask the Shaman of the Crimson Howl pack,” he replied. “I’m sure he would have some clues, because this is a serious matter.”“”

I sighed because I had already sent my spies to talk to him. “What do you make out of this birthmark?” I asked

He kept the paper on the table in front of him. Looking at my throat where the thorny vine tattoos crawled up, he said. “This could be a sign from the Moon Goddess, Alpha Lucien. It could be anything and then it could be nothing. But-” He looked away, his eyes going blank. “This can’t be a coincidence. Can you tell me more about it? Like how does Auren feel Or-

“She had gone to the Eldermere ruins,” I blurted.

He gasped. “When! Alone? That is forbidden! How could you allow her?”

I told him the whole sto

Hory.

He appeared to be in complete shock. “Did she say Vaslo?”

I nodded

H

He clenched his teeth. “In that case, grant me the permission to go to the Eldermere temple, Alpha. I want to go there today!”

“What! Never!”

“That’s the only way we’ll know about it,” he said, shaking his head. “I have to go there.”

He sounded pretty serious and even I was curious. Maybe he knew how to break the curse. “Okay!” I let out a rough breath. “Tll come with you!”

Auren POV

Lucien had again gone somewhere without telling me where he was going. I got a message from Tarian that guards were stationed everywhere and if I had to go out of the house, they would accompany me. I didn’t know what was the reason for the heightened security around me, and asking Vivi or Tom or any omega seemed futile. No one told me the reason.

With him gone, I didn’t feel like doing anything. Sadness crept under my skin. The hours stretched slow and heavy. I went down to eat bunch, but I ate one buttered bread and got up, hating the taste. Why was it that I was moving like my day was caught in an endless dull dream. Sleep felt distant and I wanted to curl in my bed and cry. Where was he! How was he doing? Why didn’t he tell me where he had gone! I walked to the balcony to feel better, but even the warmth of the sun on my skin felt cold. I couldn’t take it anymore and broke down.

The day blurred into evening I walked out of the doorway, staring at the empty spaces, waiting for someone–waiting for him. Every shadow streiched wrong. I felt like a part of me was plucked away, leaving silence and doom in its wake.

To distract myself from this misery, I found any feet carrying the to the arena. Sure that no one would be there, and I could practice with some weapons, I opened the door. But I was surprised when I saw Sable and a few of her friends in a ring, practicing.

Rage bubbled in my heart, seeing her. But I stayed calm and made my way to the weapons rack because I didn’t want a useless confrontation. I knew that a flurry of guards had followed me inside and so I knew they wouldn’t attack me.

As I walked to the rack, Julie snickered, “Oh, look at that the omega wants to play warrior now! Try her luck with the weapons? Careful Luna, wouldn’t want you spraining that delicate wrist. Wouldn’t want Alpha Lucien hunting us down over a little accident, now would we?”
