Chapter 14 Blessed Friend

Well-built and lean, he stood by

the doorway, his frame blocking the only exit I recognized the voice, having

heard it at times on days I wils allowed to take a stroll near the training

grounds. Looking up, I saw my best. friend, who I had barely seen for years. I

still considered him my best friend, though I didn’t know if it was the same

with him. He called me “Bella”.my second name, and he was the only one who

called me by that name; everyone else preferred to call me “Anna”.

His beach blonde hair was a mess, which meant he had just

returned from a run, but there was a Weird scent coming from him. His thin

Hips

were set in a straight line, his blue orbs

Sro , and though he wore a

errous expression, it was the first time na long time that I could get a

und look at huis lace

A strong angular jawline, a straight nose, and flawless

skin – I found myself getting attracted to him, my heart racing in my chest.

“Ca-Carson,” I said, finding my voice.

Raising a brow, he asked, “The curse’s affecting you now

too?”

I nodded. His bloodline was blessed Generations back by a

witch, or perhaps it would be more appropriate to call it a curse. The witch

was in love with a certain ancestor of his, but her love couldn’t be

compensated because he found his mate. So, she casted a spell on him and made

sure it wouldn’t end with him

In order for the spell to carry over to the

generation, starting from the first of his blod that got afflicted, no females

were born into their lineage. In every generation, the male’s mate could only

conceive a son, and so the blessing or Curse continued

Blessed or cursed with an extremely attractive physique,

women, especially she-wolves, were easily drawn to him like they were falling

in love, and those who didn’t know better thought the feelings were real when

in fact, it wasn’t. He was the very definition of a “chick magnet”; a walking

breathing “come on” to every woman out there.

If he found his mate, such effect would Cease after he

received his mate’s mark. Until then, he would have to deal with the numerous

hem that he attracted. And that nud me. Ti was against my will, but it

ven been five minutes yet and I already feel myself falling for him,

“Sorry,” he said, in a volce that sent butterflies flying

of my stomach,

“N-No, it’s okay.” I replied, “I understand it’s the curse

or blessing, however you want to call it.”

“A curse,” he said. “Definitely a curse. Too bad I haven’t

found my mate yet.”

Knowing he was still available made me feel happy and I knew

I shouldn’t be. It must be hard for him to have to wait for so long

But he’s available.

No, Anna! He’s your best friend.

I felt an ann snake around my waist. I got pulled to the

slike, bumping on Alpha Liam.

Il mark her, she wouldn’t be affected

right?” he asked Carson, ignoring me Elaring at him

Every time I was close to him, it was like

electricity ran through me, and in its wake an eruption of tingles. A rather

impactful yet pleasant feeling and only he had such an effect on me.

Seems like he really is my mate – my Second mate, a second

chance at completing this missing half of me.

Mated to two Alphas – was the Goddess playing some sort of

a joke on me?

“Yes. That’s about the only way.” Carson

said.

They’re actually holding a conversation normally? Maybe

Hinn… what do you say, babe? Would

heasked, warning his head to meet my place with a smirk. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Goddess, my mate’s smirking at me and I find it… Sexy

“I take it silence means ‘yes’?” He stretched the last

word as he said it, with his deep baritone Varice,

Gouldess, his voice is sexy too

You’re so cute when you’re flustered, mate,” he added,

then sensually bit his lower lip, making m e gulp. I couldn’t look away from

those lips of his, remembering how soft they were on mine when he kissed me,

how good it felt when –

“I hate to interrupt but Flynn would be here any second

how.” Carson said, bringing maka

W, Carson said, bringing in back to

“We’ll be ready to po before he gets here.” Alpha Liam

answered. “Have you seen Lexy anywhere? Thought she’d be here by

How many times do I have to tell him that I’m not

leaving! I have something to do here first!

She left after treating Flynn. Haven’t seen her since,

Carson said to which he replied with a hmm.

Is that some sort of expression of him? O h, no. I am

not observing him or anything. It’s just something I kind of noticed, Right.

Well, we don’t have much packing to do,

So your

assistance isn’t needed, ” Alpha Liam said, dismissing my best friend like he

was from his pack

Carson merely smirked, and oh my (dess, it made him more

attractive. “I’m here for her. Eigured she wouldn’t agree to leave so easily,” he

That’s night, I wouldn’t

“She is leaving.” Alpha Liam said slowly.

Aren’t you?’, he

asked, pulling me even closer to him.

“No!” I replied, holding on to my rational brain as my

body kept reacting weirdly in his hold.

“Let me talk to her,” Carson said, and this arrogant

Alpha’s hand squeezed my side.

“Before she leaves,” Carson continued, looking me in the

eye. “I need to talk to my best friend.”
