CHAPTER EIGHTEEN
We reach the village.
I should be happy. I am about to marry my Alpha.
But instead, I feel terrible about the curse.
"What's wrong?" he asks me.
"I have a bad feeling."
"You're not still worry about the witch and her spell, are you?"
"Yes."
"Don't." He smiles at me. "I told you I don't believe the witch. You should be happy. We are getting married."
I fall silent. I feel torn. I don't know how to tell my Alpha what is really going on in my mind.
I don't think I can marry him.
He leads me to the village center. A woman stands outside a cottage. She has been waiting for us.
The woman smiles at my Alpha. "It is good to see you again."
"And you."
They embrace. I feel a pang of jealousy. Who is this woman? Why are they meeting again?
"I heard you had found a mate," she continues. "You have brought her with you, I see."
She looks over at me. I think I see judgement in her eyes.
My alpha smiles. "I did." He looks at me with pride. "This is her."
