Chapter 45
Alfreds POV
I gently picked her up and sat her on her feet. I wanted to carry her up the stairs, but that was not going to be possible. Stacey looked apprehensive.
Alfred, you know we have five minutes to midnight.”
”
Yes, Stacey, I know.”
When we got up to the main floor, everyone was waiting.
“Babe, what’s going on.”

Tomorrow is my birthday. If my curse is not broken at midnight, I will shift, and if I can
shift back, then I will remain a wolf for the rest of my life.”
“But I’m your true mate, and I have accepted you as such.”
”
Yes, it is true, but curses are curses.”
I do not want to argue with her right now. We all went outside. If the curse were not
broken like it was supposed to be, then she would become the pack’s leader.

Mother, if this does not go as planned, help her learn what she needs to.”
Alfred, I’m sure everything is fine, but I will promise you I will.”
“Thank you, mother.”
I then jumped into the air and shifted to my wolf. I did not want a long–drawn–out process. My brothers had a ceremony, and then, when they could not move back, they ran off, and their chosen mates were left by themselves. I know why their curse was not broken; they did not find their true mates. The clock struck midnight, and I felt this strange feeling. Then, as if someone had punched me in the gut, I was back in human form. My curse is broken.
Vanessa ran to me and wrapped her arms around me. Everyone started to cheer. My mother ran to me, and so did my father. To test the theory, I shifted into my wolf again
and then back to human form again.
You did it, little one; you broke my curse.”
“I love you so much.”
“I love you too.”
This was going to be a great birthday. I have my mate, and the curse is broken. I will be able to live an everyday life and shift without worrying about not shifting back. Now, I can attend to things that need to be attended, like this war that the Winterlands Alpha wants to start. I know he killed his true mate, and he has had several chosen ones, and he has killed them as well. Before I had my father set up a meeting so we could discuss this issue, I wanted to enjoy my birthday. It was late, and we needed to get some sleep. We need to start gathering all the information we can on the hinterlands pack tomorrow.
If I could play my cards right, I could get his pack to turn on him. I’m sure they did not know about his chosen mates. If it were me, I would have blamed rogues or other things. I would never hurt Vanessa. I knew that she was scared of me when I growled. She handled it well. She no longer hid in the bathroom, and I did not have to talk her out of hiding. She is learning that I am not growling at her. I am angry at the situation. Now that I was no longer cursed, I needed my mate.
She was in the shower, and she was enjoying it. I stood at the door and watched her tilt her head under the water. It arched her breast forward. I could feel myself growing hard. As much as I wanted to ravish her, I knew she needed to wait a few days to recover from last night. I am not the average size. I’m huge. Her little body would take time to get used to it. Plus, I did take her virginity a few days ago. I knew she was not healed from that yet. She needed time to adjust to things. I will also break the news that Robert still wants to take her. The poor girl did not need that stress.
After shifting, I took the towel off that my mother had me wrap around myself. Then, I joined her in the shower. When I got in the shower with her, she smiled, wrapped her arms around me, and kissed me deeply. I returned the kiss and ran my hands up and down her back. She seemed to enjoy it. We stopped kissing, and she turned her head sideways Iand rested it against my chest.
You feel so good in my arms.”
Vanessa, when we get out of the shower, we need to talk.”
I needed to let her know what was going on. She needed to see that she was in danger. If it was myself who was owed something, I would not be as nice as they were by trying to talk. I would take her and run with her.
T
Babe, I already know.”
“What do you know?”
That alpha Robert is still after me.”
“Yes, he is.”
I knew she could feel my feelings. But she was good at not overreacting or trying to pry things out of me. I was glad she was nothing like my mother. My mother would hound my father until they were in a screaming match. They love each other very much; my father has never hurt my mother. He would run out of the house, go to the gym, and work out. We finished our shower. I got out first and went and got her a warm towel and then wrapped it around her, and then kissed her deeply. I then wrapped a towel around myself.
She went into the closet and put on an adorable nightgown. It was a black lace chemise nightgown. It barely came down to her thighs. It showed her cleavage very well. What is she doing? Is she trying to tease me?
“Little one wearing something like that to bed is just going to make me hard, and I will have to ravish you.”
Am I supposed to be afraid?”
She said that comment with a mischievous smile. She was trying to entice me, and it was working. I strolled over to her.
“Little one that smiles tells me you are up to no good.”
What if I am?”
That was all I could take. I picked her up, threw her over my shoulder, and carried her to bed. I give her bottom a swat and gently lay her on the bed. I gently started to kiss her. I then took my towel off, and then I pushed my cock into her. She arched her back and matched my rhythm. She was feverishly kissing me and running her hands over my back, and she started to scratch my back. I let out a low growl, and we both climaxed at the
