Chapter 16 - Broken curse

~Alexander~~

We ran into the cave and were out of the cave in no time. In the dark blue skies, the moon is a picturesque sight, interspersed with gardens and pavilions that are surrounded by water. There was a veil of mist covering the endless white trees. As though it was part of the realm of immortals. The night air is foggy. The place is truly magical. As we ran towards the lake, the moon reflected on the water. It seemed surreal, and as we stared up at the sky, we saw the moon was getting closer to its perigee. We walked inside the lake. We held hands and looked up one more time when a direct reflection of the moon was visible in the lake.. The moon is at its perigee now, as we touch our foreheads. I raised my eyes to look at Blake. He stared back at me in a matter of seconds.

I am anxious. My mind is in a spiral. What if nothing happens? If the curse breaks, but he's not my mate? What if, before I could finish my sentence, he squeezed my hands as if he was reading my mind? I drew my eyes to a circle of blue light that was forming around us. After that, a red light appeared on top of it, leaving no space between the two, followed by a purple light and a green light. They then started rotating, and a yellow light appeared. It felt great, like I was experiencing something we usually find in myths.

The circle continued for quite some time before it broke. The two of us moved our heads to scan the surroundings, but our hands tangled. A blue sky engulfs every corner of the lake, making it look beautiful. I shifted my gaze to Blake, and he appeared so handsome under the deep Blue Moon. My breath hitched, and I gulped hard. He looked at me and smiled. It is the most beautiful smile I have ever seen.

Do you feel anything? He asked.

"No", I whispered

It's okay, we have each other; he whispered.

As the sky darkened, the Blue Moon slowly disappeared from the sky. It's pitch black everywhere. I pulled Blake and held him in an embrace. My eyes turned golden as his eyes turned purple. Looking at everything around us. The moon appeared, and it was a blood moon. The red color of its reflection reflected us. We are werewolves in our shadows. It was magical. Blake looked at me and smiled.

Can I see you? It was an exciting moment for him to ask.

I'm in front of you, I whispered.

I want to your wolf. He grinned, and I wanted to see it. Before, I could shift.

We both fell into the lake as he snuggled up with me. He pinned me under him and tickled me senseless. Despite my pleas, he ignored my surrender. I felt weak and helpless as he drained my remaining energy. It was impossible for me not to laugh throughout the entire proceeding. I could see Blake laughing as well. His laugh was the happiest I'd ever heard. There was no noise or roughness to it at all. It was more like a deep chuckle. It suited his handsome appearance perfectly. I lay in the lake exhausted after he had finished tickling the soul out of my body. I didn't have enough energy to stand. Luckily, he extended a hand. I gratefully accepted it, and he pulled me to my feet. He held my shoulder, supporting me as we headed back to the cave.

My wolf sneered. "Our mate is strong. He is the one for us. I can feel his beast. I want to tame him," he remarked.

My mouth dropped open, and I sneered, You just want to mate, right?

'He is ours,' my wolf howled as he whimpered.

A chuckle escaped my lips. I know!

My wolf growled, No one can stop us from accessing our mate. No one is stronger than us. And our mate is the strongest omega. We fear no one.

~Blake~~

As Alex's scent spread throughout the cave, my wolf moaned in pure agony. Now my mate would think of me, making it even harder for me to resist him. Damn it. There is something tortuously and uniquely sweet about his scent that makes me weak in the knees.

As my wolf paced back and forth with an earnest expression, he was screaming, "I want our mate, you bastard!"

I ignored it and continued to walk into the cave.

"Our mate is strong. He is the one for us," he growled.

I giggled " You just want to mate"

My wolf whimpered "He belongs to us"

I know I giggled. Let's tease him a little.

No, my wolf screamed, and it echoed in my head.

Alex smiled and continued to stare at me. I noticed how the red blush crept down his neck and disappeared into his shirt. I felt as if my body was on fire. The fact that I was near my mate, and my mate stared at me as if I were a sweet snack, coupled with my wolf whimpering, put me on the edge of extinction. My feet moved, and I fled from the current sexual tension, heading for our backpacks.

He walked by the bed and sat and then whispered, looking straight into the narrow cave entrance. I'm tired, can I sleep?

Our eyes met for a few seconds for me to realize my mate looked tired and worried. I huffed and said, "Take a shower before you sleep."

In response to that cold running water, he shivered. He dragged his feet to the cave that had running water. This is not something I will miss one bit. I can't wait to take a shower and soak in the hot water.

The unsettling feeling of being near my mate was suffocating me sexually. My wolf scolded me unhappily. I ignored him and then thirty minutes later, Alex walked in and got straight to bed.

I left to take a cold long shower, and an hour later I strolled in and there he was, sleeping under the covers. I paced around the room, wondering if it was okay to sleep with him in the same bed. My wolf demanded it, but I was resisting. I slowly approached the bed. Sat there for a long time staring at Alex in his sleep. He looked like a beautiful, ethereal being. Truth be told, he is handsome. Between Vampires and werewolves, I had seen no one as handsome as him.

" True," my wolf whispered.

~Alexander~~

The moment we entered the cave, a sudden wave of sadness struck me. Can't he feel the bond between us? Why hasn't he said anything? I was worried and tired.

"Maybe the curse wasn't broken after all." I thought as I walked over and sat on the bed. Our eyes met for a few seconds. He huffed and said, take a shower before you sleep.

That cold running water irritated me, so I reluctantly walked to the cave and stood under the running water for thirty minutes.

"Why did you leave, you coward? "My wolf growled. I ignored him and then changed my clothes and came back inside. I walked straight to bed before Blake walked out.

Blake sighed and sat down on the bed after spending an hour under the cold water. I wrapped my arms around him and pulled him under the covers, murmuring, How long are you intending to pace around? Let's sleep.

His body was tense, and I snuggled closer.

Your wolf likes me, I whispered. He huffed and remained silent. Being close to my mate was what I had been missing for years. I felt peaceful and satisfied as he closed his eyes and fell asleep. I was awake for a very long time, admiring his beauty. When he suddenly shifted, I smiled at his gorgeous blue eyes.

" You are being naughty by shifting when he is asleep," I smiled at him.

His wolf responded through our mind link " Mate"

My heart melted, what I have been waiting for all my life. I moved closer and hugged his wolf. Thank you for accepting me. We cuddled for hours until both of us slowly fell asleep.
