Chapter 3 CURSED

As soon as Serafine turned her back, she saw a very tall man built like a god with strong muscles and abs and, to top it up, he was half-naked with only a towel wrapped loosely around his waist. Just as she looked at his face, she gasped. His facial features were unbelievable. He looked like he was specially created and favored by the moon when it comes to looks.

"I...I" Serafine stammered as she looked at him. For a reason, she felt like she had just forgotten how to speak, as she was still mesmerized by his looks and the same thing was happening to Alcide.

He was so stunned by the beauty standing before him as his eyes raked her from her toes up to her head as he lingered a little bit on her boobs.

Serafine got shy when she felt his gaze on her boobs and she tried to cover them a little with her hands.

Alcide snapped out of his gaze as he looked back at her and said "Have you lost your tongue? Or do you think I am joking here?"

" I am Serafine", Serafine said while looking down at her shoes nervously.

Alcide raised one of his eyebrows as he gave Serafine a look while he thought 'How does she expect me to know her by just telling me her name, and what is a woman doing in my room?' He stepped back a little bit, fully conscious of the fact that the person standing in front of him was a woman

Serafine rephrased her statement: " I am Serafine, the wolf sent by pack Brawl to be the wife of the Alpha of this pack"

'Oh so, this is my supposed wife. Not bad' Alcide thought to himself as he scanned her body again, after which he circled her while saying

" And what are you doing in my room? What if the Alpha catches you with me here? Hmm, what would you do then?"

Serafine finally became conscious of the fact that what the handsome man was saying was true. If she got caught, all her plans would be ruined before she could even start and her precious puppy would...

'No' she shouted in her mind.

" I wanted to use the bathroom, then I saw two doors and I opened one. It led me to this place. Please, this was not intentional. " Can you take me back to where I came from, please?" Serafine said this with honesty in her eyes as she continued staring at the young man who was still scanning her.

Before Alcide could say anything, a knock echoed from the door.

"Alpha, the conference is about to start, and we all await your presence. " Jenna is in the pack also, and she asks of you", the voice behind the door said, while Serafine's eyes widened when she heard the person behind the door call her handsome Prince Alpha.

'So, he is the Alpha' Serafine thought to herself as she felt a waft of breeze on her back. She turned around to find out that her handsome prince had already left her back. Just as her eyes were about to search for him, she heard his cold and menacing voice.

" Leave this instant, but you can stay unless you want to see me get dressed," Alcide said as he threw the clothes he was to wear on the bed. Just as he was about to take off his towel, Serafine ran towards the door she came from, and soon enough, she found herself back in her room.

She held her chest as she felt her heart beating erratically.

'What just happened?' she thought to herself as she pinched her wrist just to confirm that she was not dreaming.

"Oww" she screamed from the pain, and she realized that everything that just happened was real. She ran to the other door and when she confirmed that it was a bathroom, she shut it with a bang out of frustration.

---------------------------

After the conference, Alcide went to his lounge to meet Jenna. Jenna is his childhood friend, as their parents were friends before her father and mother's death. Ever since then, although she was restricted from touching him, he gave her all the power he could within his pack as a token of appreciation, as she helped him a lot after his mother's death.

"Alcide" Jenna shouted his name when she saw him out of excitement. She felt so happy seeing him again as they barely saw each other due to his busy schedule.

"Jenna, hope you're good?" Alcide said with a small smile as he sat down beside her. He has always seen Jenna as a baby sister and that is why he does all he can to keep her happy.

" Yes, I'm fine, just that I miss you. " Have you forgotten about me, Alcide?" Jenna said with fake tears in her eyes as she looked up at him with puppy eyes.

"No, you certainly know that I can not forget about you, right?" Alcide said while smiling at her.

"Then, what is it with these rumors that I've been hearing all around your house?" Jenna said more to herself than Alcide

Alcide looked at her with curiosity. " What rumors?"

" They say that you have a wife now, that the girl is from one of our rival packs. More so, they say she is cursed," Jenna said, reducing the tone of her voice when she said 'cursed'.

'Cursed?' Alcide wondered within him before he said.

"I don't know about the cursed part, but yeah, I have a wife now. " I guess you now have a sister-in-law", Alcide said with a small laugh as he got distracted a little bit.

Suddenly, Jenna moved to hug him when she said he was not looking, feeling her temper rising at the fact that Alcide has a wife now.

The smile on Alcide's face quickly faded as his eyes turned blood-red. He quickly stood up and held Jenna by her neck, trying to suffocate her. His hold on her tightened as he lost control of himself.
