5~Ravens curse

Bella pov

I'm sitting in the conference room in the castle with the council for a meeting about the new rise of the demons. One of the council members was talking as I dozed off my handsome mate. From his smile to his jawline to his eyes everything about him is just perfect.

Yes he may be dead for now. It's not the first time a living being met their mate in the afterlife when they come to visit. My mother usually Sends the soul back to their body and they live the rest of your life their lives together. From what my mother explained to me is Xavier had to die no his little sister is Izzy could become Alpha.

She had no plans of keeping him because she picked him as my mate. Izzy just had to go through the experience of his death to be able to get through the battle she had to get through to become Alpha.

When the alpha ball comes around she'll see him again and he'll explain everything to her. Then everything would just be peachy. He will get to meet his niece and nephew. Congratulations best friend on finding his mate that just so happens to be his sister.

I'm brought back to reality by someone snapping in my face. I blink a few times to see my best friend Raven looking at me worried. I just give her a reassurance and tune back into the meeting.

.....................................

Once the meeting is over me and Raven head over to the kitchen to get us a snack. Are you excited for your 18th birthday Raven. I asked her. She smiles before replying. Yeah I can't wait to meet my mate. You know it really sucks that my family curse gets in the way. She says.

Back when I was only a thousand years old Ravens ancestors had a fight with a witch. One of Raven's ancestors was mated to a witch. But her ancestor was unloyal to his mate the witch. When the witch had found out not only had he had an affair he had also gotten the female pregnant.

She was furious and cursed the bloodline that would have to wait two extra years before they could meet their mate. When Ravens ancestor had begged his mate not to do it. She did not listen and cursed the bloodline anyway.

The only way to break the curse was if someone from the bloodline would to only have a child with their mate. Sadly the curse not only made them have to wait two extra years to meet their mate but it also made them tempted to have children with other women.

Raven is one of the children that was conceived from someone from her bloodline and a person that wasn't their mate. When her father did eventually meet his mate she had accepted Raven with open arms and become more of a mother figure than Ravens actual mother.

After giving birth to Raven Ravens biological mother ran away never to be seen again. The only difference between all the other ancestors and Raven is they were all male and they never had a female child Intel Raven.

Yeah I know the curse sucks but think about it this way all your ancestors always had male children. And you are a female so maybe you'll be the one to break the curse. I say with a hopeful gleam in my eye. She just smiles and nods.

Me and Raven parkway and I head back to my mother's Castle to see my gorgeous mate.
