Chapter 42

Zyair POV

I stare at her not knowing what to say or do at that moment, I was confused about what she meant, that she was the curse, the cursed child I was supposed to kill years ago. Did she know that I was to kill her then, if I had killed her then when she was a baby, I would never have gotten to meet her, and neither would the curse have existed?

That had been what made me clamp my mouth shut.

Ever since she had been hunted by the moonlight pack. They wanted to kill her because she would bring disaster to the pack. That’s why she shouldn’t have lived but she did because I let her.

Three-times. If I wasn’t mistaken that I’d attempted to kill her.

She didn’t know all that. That was the reason I was this way, and that she was pitiable. And how much she must have suffered. The look in her eyes shows it. She wasn’t happy with the life she had. Just that and I was certain she has a good heart. And I wanted to help her. I was scared too, I didn’t know what would happen to us. We were gonna kill ourselves. And one of us was gonna succeed in doing it.

I pulled my knees up and stare at the full moon. It was always a full moon something had to happen to me.

“Should I go after her..?” Creamy asked. As he came closer to me. He must have been aware of our fight because he had shown so much interest in us. Me especially.

I shook my head.

“I think she needs some time alone.”

“What if she doesn’t..”

“I don’t think she needs that and you won’t find her, she had probably gone hiding.”

“What happened?”

“She’s...” How would he say that, Creamy already knows and so it won’t be that difficult to say it?

“The Curse of the red Moon.”

“WHAT!” He screamed!

That was what she was, a curse, the curse that had no cure. I was brief on it years ago by the seer about the curse. Funny how I remembered every detail when I was just four years old.

On the memorable day that happened, the blood that touched me, flash on my face, my eyes, nose, and mouth. As it stained me.

It was one of the memories I would never forget that had happened because it was what had affected me up till this moment.

“How? I thought you told me you had killed the child,”

“Seems she escaped death.”

“Now I understand, how she came about staying in Novak forest with the human man, she was able to stay with him and love him because he wasn’t a wolf else she won’t have been able to.. she would have killed him. Now I understand why she was like that.”

I sighed, staring down at my feet.

“I don’t know what to do.”

“There’s to be a way, and she’s your mate.”

“I’m more scared of her, she won’t be able to stay in the pack.”

Creamy took the next spot beside me where she was sitting before.

“There’s a way to fix that.”

“What?”

I was beginning to lose hope because I don’t know anymore. I wanted to do something but I don’t know what to do. I was lost and confused and I only wish for one thing.

That we should be able to break the curse before she turned twenty.

“You can take her out sometimes to hunt rogue.”

That wasn’t a bad idea, Creamy was right that could be fixed but what about us?

She was my mate, she would never have her wolf because of the curse, though it’s there the wolf is hiding and if nothing is being done, the wolf would die.

“What would you do?”

“What should I do, Creamy?”

“Love her. Is there any other thing you could do except for that? Forget about her being a curse, protect her, and love her. And you can think of the other hindrance later but now I think that’s what she needs.”

“What would I do without you?”

“Nothing.”

Creamy wasn’t wrong, that was what he would do.

“You’re gonna help me right?”

“I’ll help find a cure. I’ll find everything, do everything I’ve got.”

I sighed covering my face. I didn’t even want to know how miserable I looked right now.

“You’ve got this.” He pats my shoulders.

“I’m scared of dying, but I’m not gonna die yet, there I have to do something before that, make her Luna. And make her the strongest of all where it comes to power, affluence I mean. And I won’t be dying to save her then..”

And that I meant it.

I would do anything to save her, help her and protect her. Make her known in the world of wolves. That way, she would be fine without me. Because I would save her.

“I can’t believe you, you ain’t gonna die. I won’t even allow it. We would look for another way to save her that doesn’t even any of you dying..”

“Sure. We’ll find it.”

But that was already made up if that would be the only way to save her, I don’t mind doing it but first, she had to hold on.

“Damn, this is crazy.”

“Right.”

We chuckled. Mostly a sad one.

I stood up.

Creamy stood as well.

“I’m leaving.”

“Where are you headed?”

“You ain’t planning on following me are you?”

“That’s was I was gonna do.”

“Someone might though you ain’t straight.” I twitched my nose at him.

“I don’t like you.” He stammered

“Neither do I.”

I laughed this time seeing the horror look on his face. Creamy was something else.

“I’m gonna find my mate.”

“Alone?”I eyed him.

“You wanna share her with me?”

“Stay off my mate.”

I threatened playfully and walked towards the direction I had seen her take. Creamy didn’t need to come with me anymore. We understand her better now and know why she was that way.

And this time she won’t be able to hurt me. Because I’ve known her weaknesses.

We were both suffering, my mother died because of me, so I knew how hurt she would feel though we were different.

I understand now.

it’s a fate, I can’t change but that doesn’t mean I won’t do anything about it.

My mate won’t bear the burden alone. If she’s cursed then I think I’m too.
