THE CURSE (PART TWO)
THE CURSE (PART TWO)
Suddenly, I began coughing so hard, saw a black smoke came out of nowhere and seeped into my mouth.
I screamed and my heart began to hurt instantly as I fell to the floor, grunted in agony and throughout the night which felt like hours, I couldn't sleep, all over my body burn like hell and my wolf went out of control and roared, my powers leaked out of me and shattered everything around me, the whole place vibrated.
It was like an earthquakes and all of a sudden, I flew up, floating on air, blood seeping out of my mouth, the bones in my neck crackled, the pain was torture, it was like a melted hot iron was being poured into my throat, I screamed and gripped my neck to press out whatever was burning me to come out, my legs hung on the air, shaking and the hairs in my body suddenly turned white, I shook so much with my eyes popping out of my sockets.
Was I going to die at this point?
Carmine's Pov.
Wolves are animals, wild creatures who love to claim their mates to give them pups, take over the power and become who they want them to be and create a clan of their own.
I have always wanted to have a mate, have children and love them as much as I can but fate had other plans and I had no choice but to accept it after going through some difficult phases.
My name is Carmine Daciana, I am the second Alpha son of the Alpha King from the Mackenzie Clan, I guess you know most of my story so I don't need to tell much about it.
I'm the jovial type as you can see and I have always craved love, affection and care from my parents which I eventually got but not in the way I hoped it will be, I guess it was because I am the prince and was always supporting Gerard in every way and following him all around because he was a much more better leader than I am, he was my role model which I can never tell him, just take it as my ego, of course, as an Alpha.
However, he must have had a clue about it, but chose not to tell me to avoid making me feel bad or something. My parents at times get offended at the so much attention I hand over to Gerard, maybe because I lose focus on certain things and don't do my stuff.
Anyways, he is my brother and my best friend in the world. I will always love him for the rest of my life like a buddy and be there for him. I know how he is and how much he loves taking care of the people around him and how kind and big of a hero he was to the realms, which are one of the things I admire about him.
However, before I dive into my story, let's start from here.
Gérard and I were born after our parents took over the realms, we became the top two Alphas in the whole realms and anyone who mentioned our name knew who we were and what kind of power we had.
Gérard and I both protected each other against the bad guys, the wolves who were always against our existence and we fought them and hit them hard.
We were the best of friends, refusing to become friends with the other wolves, it was not life we hated them or anything, we just needed to trust in ourselves.
More like, we just couldn't find someone else, we could confide in but ourselves, so we ended up the way we were without letting Intruders, butt into our lives.
And sometimes people wondered how siblings like us were able to get so close to each other and wished their children were like us and could get along so well. Actually in the realms, not all siblings get along so well, they mostly fight, go against each other and kill, the hatred and the darkness sets in and more blood spilled all over the place because of how they grow up in the realms and this happens mostly at the poor side of town…
As time went on, my Mom got pregnant with Oceana and a few months later, she gave birth to a child, it was a baby girl and we all celebrated a new Alpha being born into the family.
However, to my surprise, Gérard was horrified, went pale at the spot looking at Oceana sleeping in her room.
My mother had named the baby after her sister, because she was born at the side of the Ocean while they were little and my Mom's favorite spot was the Ocean, that's why she loved the name.
"Carmine.' he whispered with shaky breath.
"What is it, buddy?' I asked with concern.
Then and behold, Gerard said it all, Oceana was his mate, which was quite a doom to failure.
I was quite shocked and surprised at what I just find out and the thought of informing my parents bugged me, yet, I knew the consequences of my actions and what Gerard was going to go through so I made a huge, lifetime promise not to tell anyone unless Gerard does instruct me to do so and makes a decision
"Carmine." He called again, whispered with tears streaming down his cheeks beside her colt, holding her little hand and took a step back away from her.
I stepped forward and hugged him, he shook his head a million times and said he will never have Oceana as his mate, that he loved her like a sister.
I deeply understood his fears and how much a horror it was.
It is quite a struggle growing up with your mate and you can't kiss, hug and tell her who you are all because you are scared of endangering her life. I can understand how he feels about it and how he wants her to have a normal life with her, I knew him so well.
I know as a brother, I'm supposed to be disgusted but I'm not, I would like them to be together, I know I'm weird but that's the truth.
We can't control our feelings for who we want to love, the heart wants what it wants and we can't stop that and the only thing we can do is stop the wolves from annihilating us.
I'm in love with someone, I'm also in the same shoes as Gérard but I can't stop my feelings for that person who makes my heart race and makes me feel whole.
If father finds out who my mate is, the realms will go to war and cause blood to shed and I will be the cause of everything. I don't want that to happen, can't this place just be in peace for once, must there be some sort of conflict?
I sometimes ask myself why I came back to this pack, I should have just stayed where I was and enjoyed the best moment of my life with my mate, instead of coming to this boring clan with so many rules and regulations always reminding me that I am the prince of the realms.
I felt my phone ring and looking at the caller ID, my heart skipped a beat, I knew who it was and a smile appeared on my face as I answered the phone.
"Hello love," I said as soon as I answered the call for a couple of minutes and began touching my crotch, hearing this voice was getting me turned on.
I wish I was there to fuck the hell out of that ass as long as I want.
"Yeah, I also missed you so much.' I moaned and fell to the bed, imagining my next move of action.
Jessie's Pov.
"What is bothering you, little sister?' My elder sister, Jane, came up to me, sat down on the floor as we both continued arranging our clothes and separating the ones from the old ones we weren't using anymore so we could give them to the needy.
She was sure they would love them since they were so beautiful.
"Umm, it's nothing, I'm good." I continued arranging the clothes inside the box.
"Is it because of Carmine?" She revealed with a smile.
"What!" I laughed. "Hell no." I disagreed.
"You can't lie to me, he's been your first love since you were a child and you've always said you must get married to him.
"Jane, that was in the past, we are talking about ten years ago,"
"But your mood changed when you discovered his father said he had a mate, your glass of water fell to the ground in shock and when you went to your room, I saw the tears in your eyes and that's when I knew you still loved him." She sweetly explained with a smile.
I forced out a smile and shook my head. "Can we forget about that now?' I was glad no one noticed how my glass cup broke and was all focused on Carmine.
"Why don't you tell him how you feel?'
I rolled my eyes at her. "Stop teasing me, sister, you and I both know I'm still underage, who is going to take a kid like me so seriously and besides he has a mate and doesn't care about me but only sees me as Oceana's sister and a best friend, what gives anyway?'
Jane laughed at me. "You don't need to tell him your feelings, you could give him the body language, signs, they are other stuffs to try out, you don't need to be all over him, trust me, you are not gonna regret ever trying with him, you could do it, I know you can.'
"Jane.' I called solemnly and she smiled for a while and cleared her throat.
"I'm just joking, don't mind your stupid sister but to be honest you've got to tell him how you feel, so, one day when you become an adult, you won't have any regrets. At least you will know you did your best and maybe by then, you could find someone else and fall on love, you never know, life is nothing but a mystery, we can never tell the future, it's not for us to see, that's why we do our best to live everyday and not have regrets as well."
I knew Jane was trying to help me out but this is not going to work. If Oceana finds out I confessed to her brother, everything is going to collapse and we are going to have a big issue concerning this.
Oceana is overprotective and will have my head if she discovers I am in love with her brother, this has been my secret for the past almost eight years and only my sister knew my secret.
I began falling in love with Carmine as soon as I turned seven, I thought it was just a feeling but as I grew up, those feelings refused to go away from me, they just kept increasing day by day, and that's when I realized, I was in love with an Alpha, Carmine Daciana and I kept this from him, knowing it would never come true and maybe when I make an encounter with my mate, my feelings could go away and vanish into thin air as if it never happened in the first place.
I don't wish for him to ever know my feelings, it will be a disaster if he does and I will feel uncomfortable or rather restless for the rest of my life if he ever knows my feelings for him.
