The Alpha’s Mate Who Cried Wolf

　　‘Yes, your curse.’ She replies.


　　‘Are you implying Nina has been playing with some kind of magic and cursed my son?’ mother asks.


　　‘No, but she has a curse shadowing her, and it’s affecting Magnus.’


　　‘I’m sorry, but you must be mistaken? I’m not cursed.’ Nina says.


　　The witch looks Nina up and down.


　　‘Oh, you’re cursed, sweetheart. I can see it lingering all around you.’


　　‘What kind of curse? How do I get rid of it?’


　　‘What kind of curse, for I do not know and how to break it. Only the one who cursed you knows how. Until then, you are stuck with it.’


　　‘How do I find out who cursed me, then?’


　　‘Only time will tell.’ She looks back over at Magnus and approaches.


　　She hovers a hand over him and says an incantation. ‘The fever will break soon. In the meantime, until the curse breaks, I suggest you tell him to avoid shifting.’
