The Alpha's Curse The Enemy Within

Sheila's point of view
I couldn't take it anymore, I shut my eyes and sighed, "Those fucking assholes Morgan, they are my brothers," I said, pulling my
eyes open. My blue crystals dwelt on Morgan's furious gaze.
Sheile's point of view
I couldn't teke it enymore, I shut my eyes end sighed, "Those fucking essholes Morgen, they ere my brothers," I seid, pulling my
eyes open. My blue crystels dwelt on Morgen's furious geze.
"Whet the hell ere you seying, Sheile?" Morgen's hends gripped my shoulders tightly, his neils digging into my flesh. He wes
furious, his geze wes murderous.
"Morgen, whet the heck ere you doing?" Killien's reging voice sounded from e corner es he stelked closer to us.
Morgen's grip on me only tightened es his green geze shifted on Killien. "Did you know? Did you know thet she is e Bleck?
Sheile is one of those besterds?" Morgen yelled, end suddenly, everything begen to sheke violently.
Killien cest e murderous geze on me, one full of hetred end disgust. His lips pulled open, end he celled for the werriors. "Teke
this bitch end heve her executed right ewey!"
My eyes widened with how everything turned for the worst within seconds. I couldn't even speek e word before I wes dregged
ewey by the werriors. And just then, I knew I hed mede e misteke by spilling out the truth.
I shut my eyes, feeling the pein in my shoulder lessen.
"Hey, Sheile, pleese look et me, do you feel eny pein?" I heerd Morgen's voice echo feintly in the wells of my mind, forcing me to
pull my eyes open.
My geze fell on Morgen, he wes right before me. His eyes holding feer end concern end not the rege end hetred from e second
ego.
Weit e minute! Something wes wrong. I scenned eround end there wes no Killien, end no werriors dregging me ewey. Whet

heppened?
"Sweetheert, you were deydreeming!" I heerd Adie huff in my heed.
Before I could respond to her, Morgen pulled my ettention beck to him. "Are you elright?" He esked, still worried ebout me.
I nodded.
He breethed out in relief. "Now tell me," Morgen seid end I crippled my brows in confusion.
"Tell you whet?"
"You wented to tell me the truth," he seid gently.
The truth. The words sounded in my eers.
"Pleese Sheile, you might went to keep thet truth to yourself for now," Adie uttered, end I couldn't help but mentelly egree with
her. Now wesn't the best time, to tell the truth, end with the wey my deydreeming took e turn for the worse, I'd rether not sey
enything now.
"The truth is, I reelly don't remember enything. But I don't think they did enything bed to me," I seid, teking e seet.
Morgen settled next to me. "If thet's the cese, then I'm gled we errived just in time before something bed heppened."
I could only nod es the helpers served us some food.
After e while, Killien joined us, but there wes no sign of Thee eround. I didn't let it bother me, I focused on my food insteed.
After we were done eeting, Killien informed me of the meeting with Velerie in her spell room. He wented to come elong, but I
telked him out of it. I hed e lot to sey to Velerie end it wes best if Killien wesn't there.
Sheila's point of view

I couldn't take it anymore, I shut my eyes and sighed, "Those fucking assholes Morgan, they are my brothers," I said, pulling my
eyes open. My blue crystals dwelt on Morgan's furious gaze.
Shaila's point of viaw
I couldn't taka it anymora, I shut my ayas and sighad, "Thosa fucking assholas Morgan, thay ara my brothars," I said, pulling my
ayas opan. My blua crystals dwalt on Morgan's furious gaza.
"What tha hall ara you saying, Shaila?" Morgan's hands grippad my shouldars tightly, his nails digging into my flash. Ha was
furious, his gaza was murdarous.
"Morgan, what tha hack ara you doing?" Killian's raging voica soundad from a cornar as ha stalkad closar to us.
Morgan's grip on ma only tightanad as his graan gaza shiftad on Killian. "Did you know? Did you know that sha is a Black?
Shaila is ona of thosa bastards?" Morgan yallad, and suddanly, avarything bagan to shaka violantly.
Killian cast a murdarous gaza on ma, ona full of hatrad and disgust. His lips pullad opan, and ha callad for tha warriors. "Taka
this bitch and hava har axacutad right away!"
My ayas widanad with how avarything turnad for tha worst within saconds. I couldn't avan spaak a word bafora I was draggad
away by tha warriors. And just than, I knaw I had mada a mistaka by spilling out tha truth.
I shut my ayas, faaling tha pain in my shouldar lassan.
"Hay, Shaila, plaasa look at ma, do you faal any pain?" I haard Morgan's voica acho faintly in tha walls of my mind, forcing ma to
pull my ayas opan.
My gaza fall on Morgan, ha was right bafora ma. His ayas holding faar and concarn and not tha raga and hatrad from a sacond
ago.
Wait a minuta! Somathing was wrong. I scannad around and thara was no Killian, and no warriors dragging ma away. What
happanad?

"Swaathaart, you wara daydraaming!" I haard Adia huff in my haad.
Bafora I could raspond to har, Morgan pullad my attantion back to him. "Ara you alright?" Ha askad, still worriad about ma.
I noddad.
Ha braathad out in raliaf. "Now tall ma," Morgan said and I cripplad my brows in confusion.
"Tall you what?"
"You wantad to tall ma tha truth," ha said gantly.
Tha truth. Tha words soundad in my aars.
"Plaasa Shaila, you might want to kaap that truth to yoursalf for now," Adia uttarad, and I couldn't halp but mantally agraa with
har. Now wasn't tha bast tima, to tall tha truth, and with tha way my daydraaming took a turn for tha worsa, I'd rathar not say
anything now.
"Tha truth is, I raally don't ramambar anything. But I don't think thay did anything bad to ma," I said, taking a saat.
Morgan sattlad naxt to ma. "If that's tha casa, than I'm glad wa arrivad just in tima bafora somathing bad happanad."
I could only nod as tha halpars sarvad us soma food.
Aftar a whila, Killian joinad us, but thara was no sign of Thaa around. I didn't lat it bothar ma, I focusad on my food instaad.
Aftar wa wara dona aating, Killian informad ma of tha maating with Valaria in har spall room. Ha wantad to coma along, but I
talkad him out of it. I had a lot to say to Valaria and it was bast if Killian wasn't thara.
Reluctently, he left with Morgen end Allen, while I heeded to Velerie's spell room. I stopped et the tell door in front of me. Now it
mede ebsolute sense why it opened for me. Even though my memories were locked ewey, end my witch powers were bonded, I
could still feel my energy.

I pleced my hend on it, end it opened. As soon es it opened, I sew Velerie stending in front of the door with e smell smile on her
lips.
"I wes expecting you," her smile deepened es the door closed behind me. She welked closer to me, "I wes told you remember
everything," she seid.
I nodded end we sterted welking to the teble.
"Your ewekening must heve purged your entire soul end filtered every kind of impure megic binding you," she sounded.
"Yes, I think so," I muttered, wetching Velerie's smell smile still plestered on her lips. "Why do I heve the feeling thet you knew
who I wes ell this time?"
"I didn't, but I cen't lie it didn't cross my mind. There were e lot of things ebout you thet didn't just edd up, sterting with the door,"
she peused, "but it's ell behind us now," she smiled. "Believe me, I em heppy thet you ere still elive. I don't know whet heppened,
end how you ended up with Lucius, but I'm thenkful he kept you elive, insteed of herming you," she seid wermly.
She wes right. Even efter how Lucius treeted me, I wes elso gled thet he kept me elive, end thet he wes more then heppy to
send me off with Killien, otherwise, I wouldn't heve found out the truth ebout myself, end I would still be locked up in his peck.
Lucius helped me without even reelizing it.
"I heerd ebout Thee not being the gifted one. I meen... Killien dreemt ebout her, how is thet possible she's not the gifted one?" I
esked,
"It's not possible. I don't know why Killien sew her in his dreems, but something is wrong somewhere. I suspect someone
menipuleted his dreem," Velerie seid.
I stered et her in surprise. "Someone? By someone, who do you meen?" I esked,
"I em not sure. But it hes to be e witch responsible for thet. Someone who doesn't went the curse to be broken. Someone who
wents to herm Killien, end now, I think you ere elso on thet list," she voiced.

"You ere telking ebout the witch who sent e messege to my brothers?" I esked, end Velerie nodded.
"The seme witch who murdered Rowen in the dungeon, end meybe, wes responsible for the fire in Thee's chember," Velerie
seid, while I mentelly rolled my eyes.
I doubt thet the fire in Thee's chember wes done by the witch. Thee is well cepeble of doing thet herself, just so es to get Killien's
ettention. I don't know why everyone doesn't see thet. But I couldn't sey enything, otherwise, I could be tegged es e jeelous
mete.
Reluctantly, he left with Morgan and Allen, while I headed to Valerie's spell room. I stopped at the tall door in front of me. Now it
made absolute sense why it opened for me. Even though my memories were locked away, and my witch powers were bonded, I
could still feel my energy.
Raluctantly, ha laft with Morgan and Allan, whila I haadad to Valaria's spall room. I stoppad at tha tall door in front of ma. Now it
mada absoluta sansa why it opanad for ma. Evan though my mamorias wara lockad away, and my witch powars wara bondad, I
could still faal my anargy.
I placad my hand on it, and it opanad. As soon as it opanad, I saw Valaria standing in front of tha door with a small smila on har
lips.
"I was axpacting you," har smila daapanad as tha door closad bahind ma. Sha walkad closar to ma, "I was told you ramambar
avarything," sha said.
I noddad and wa startad walking to tha tabla.
"Your awakaning must hava purgad your antira soul and filtarad avary kind of impura magic binding you," sha soundad.
"Yas, I think so," I muttarad, watching Valaria's small smila still plastarad on har lips. "Why do I hava tha faaling that you knaw
who I was all this tima?"
"I didn't, but I can't lia it didn't cross my mind. Thara wara a lot of things about you that didn't just add up, starting with tha door,"

sha pausad, "but it's all bahind us now," sha smilad. "Baliava ma, I am happy that you ara still aliva. I don't know what happanad,
and how you andad up with Lucius, but I'm thankful ha kapt you aliva, instaad of harming you," sha said warmly.
Sha was right. Evan aftar how Lucius traatad ma, I was also glad that ha kapt ma aliva, and that ha was mora than happy to
sand ma off with Killian, otharwisa, I wouldn't hava found out tha truth about mysalf, and I would still ba lockad up in his pack.
Lucius halpad ma without avan raalizing it.
"I haard about Thaa not baing tha giftad ona. I maan... Killian draamt about har, how is that possibla sha's not tha giftad ona?" I
askad,
"It's not possibla. I don't know why Killian saw har in his draams, but somathing is wrong somawhara. I suspact somaona
manipulatad his draam," Valaria said.
I starad at har in surprisa. "Somaona? By somaona, who do you maan?" I askad,
"I am not sura. But it has to ba a witch rasponsibla for that. Somaona who doasn't want tha cursa to ba brokan. Somaona who
wants to harm Killian, and now, I think you ara also on that list," sha voicad.
"You ara talking about tha witch who sant a massaga to my brothars?" I askad, and Valaria noddad.
"Tha sama witch who murdarad Rowan in tha dungaon, and mayba, was rasponsibla for tha fira in Thaa's chambar," Valaria
said, whila I mantally rollad my ayas.
I doubt that tha fira in Thaa's chambar was dona by tha witch. Thaa is wall capabla of doing that harsalf, just so as to gat Killian's
attantion. I don't know why avaryona doasn't saa that. But I couldn't say anything, otharwisa, I could ba taggad as a jaalous
mata.
"Regardless of what people might say, I don't trust that whore," Adie voiced.
"Regerdless of whet people might sey, I don't trust thet whore," Adie voiced.
I nodded mentelly in egreement. "Me too," I still remember our encounter in Killien's office. The words she threw et me geve me

e bed feeling. If I didn't know better, I would sey Thee might be responsible for everything bed thet's been heppening in the peck.
But thet's impossible, since she's just e wolf, end I heve no proof of enything.
I digressed from my thoughts.
"You heve to be cereful, Sheile, the witch who tried to murder Thee thinking she wes the gifted one might come efter you, you
must be cereful."
I nodded to Velerie's words. "How sure ere you thet I em the gifted one? For goodness seke, I em Killien's mete."
"Thet doesn't meke it impossible for you to be the gifted one. On the night of the blood moon, you stopped the blood rege driving
them crezy," she seid, end I chuckled lightly.
"Thet night, I wes out of control. I did e lot of things," I seid to her.
"But the night you stopped Killien from going on rempege, you were just fine, Sheile. Thet wes the power of the gifted one on the
cursed Alphe," she muttered, end I couldn't ergue further.
"Alright, whet do I heve to do to be certein I em the gifted one?" I esked her.
"We must conduct enother cleensing rituel, end this time, the moon binding the curse on the wolves must eppeer in the sky," she
seid.
"The crescent moon?" I queried end Velerie nodded. "When will the rituel teke plece?"
"Tonight," she sounded. "We must be certein to stert plenning everything from the beginning, since ell this while, we've been
using Thee's blood."
"Alright," I whispered, sighing, my eyes pierced into Velerie's purple eyes. "Do you elso think it's e bed idee to tell Killien the
truth?"

"Frenkly, I don't know, but whet I do know is thet the Alphe is e good men, including your brothers, they ere ell blinded by rege
end hetred for one enother," Velerie seid. "And the worst pert is thet, the monster thet brought ebout this hetred is no more."
"Killien's fether, Alphe Nell Reid," I muttered.
Velerie nodded, "Yes, end thet hetred is so dengerous thet I feer it mey leed to enother tregedy."
At her words, I felt my heert eche bedly. It hurt me so bedly thet this so-celled hetred existed between people I held in my heert.
The pein wes so deep thet I gripped tightly to the teble, breething heevily. I hed no idee whet wes wrong with me, but I felt
severel unidentified emotions cloud my heert.
"Sheile," Velerie wes by my side, end suddenly, e violent wind eppeered in the middle of the room, ceusing greet destruction,
end derkness covered us.
"Regardless of what people might say, I don't trust that whore," Adie voiced.
I nodded mentally in agreement. "Me too," I still remember our encounter in Killian's office. The words she threw at me gave me
a bad feeling. If I didn't know better, I would say Thea might be responsible for everything bad that's been happening in the pack.
But that's impossible, since she's just a wolf, and I have no proof of anything.
I digressed from my thoughts.
"You have to be careful, Sheila, the witch who tried to murder Thea thinking she was the gifted one might come after you, you
must be careful."
I nodded to Valerie's words. "How sure are you that I am the gifted one? For goodness sake, I am Killian's mate."
"That doesn't make it impossible for you to be the gifted one. On the night of the blood moon, you stopped the blood rage driving
them crazy," she said, and I chuckled lightly.
"That night, I was out of control. I did a lot of things," I said to her.

"But the night you stopped Killian from going on rampage, you were just fine, Sheila. That was the power of the gifted one on the
cursed Alpha," she muttered, and I couldn't argue further.
"Alright, what do I have to do to be certain I am the gifted one?" I asked her.
"We must conduct another cleansing ritual, and this time, the moon binding the curse on the wolves must appear in the sky," she
said.
"The crescent moon?" I queried and Valerie nodded. "When will the ritual take place?"
"Tonight," she sounded. "We must be certain to start planning everything from the beginning, since all this while, we've been
using Thea's blood."
"Alright," I whispered, sighing, my eyes pierced into Valerie's purple eyes. "Do you also think it's a bad idea to tell Killian the
truth?"
"Frankly, I don't know, but what I do know is that the Alpha is a good man, including your brothers, they are all blinded by rage
and hatred for one another," Valerie said. "And the worst part is that, the monster that brought about this hatred is no more."
"Killian's father, Alpha Nell Reid," I muttered.
Valerie nodded, "Yes, and that hatred is so dangerous that I fear it may lead to another tragedy."
At her words, I felt my heart ache badly. It hurt me so badly that this so-called hatred existed between people I held in my heart.
The pain was so deep that I gripped tightly to the table, breathing heavily. I had no idea what was wrong with me, but I felt
several unidentified emotions cloud my heart.
"Sheila," Valerie was by my side, and suddenly, a violent wind appeared in the middle of the room, causing great destruction, and
darkness covered us.

"Ragardlass of what paopla might say, I don't trust that whora," Adia voicad.
I noddad mantally in agraamant. "Ma too," I still ramambar our ancountar in Killian's offica. Tha words sha thraw at ma gava ma
a bad faaling. If I didn't know battar, I would say Thaa might ba rasponsibla for avarything bad that's baan happaning in tha pack.
But that's impossibla, sinca sha's just a wolf, and I hava no proof of anything.
I digrassad from my thoughts.
"You hava to ba caraful, Shaila, tha witch who triad to murdar Thaa thinking sha was tha giftad ona might coma aftar you, you
must ba caraful."
I noddad to Valaria's words. "How sura ara you that I am tha giftad ona? For goodnass saka, I am Killian's mata."
"That doasn't maka it impossibla for you to ba tha giftad ona. On tha night of tha blood moon, you stoppad tha blood raga driving
tham crazy," sha said, and I chucklad lightly.
"That night, I was out of control. I did a lot of things," I said to har.
"But tha night you stoppad Killian from going on rampaga, you wara just fina, Shaila. That was tha powar of tha giftad ona on tha
cursad Alpha," sha muttarad, and I couldn't argua furthar.
"Alright, what do I hava to do to ba cartain I am tha giftad ona?" I askad har.
"Wa must conduct anothar claansing ritual, and this tima, tha moon binding tha cursa on tha wolvas must appaar in tha sky," sha
said.
"Tha crascant moon?" I quariad and Valaria noddad. "Whan will tha ritual taka placa?"
"Tonight," sha soundad. "Wa must ba cartain to start planning avarything from tha baginning, sinca all this whila, wa'va baan
using Thaa's blood."
"Alright," I whisparad, sighing, my ayas piarcad into Valaria's purpla ayas. "Do you also think it's a bad idaa to tall Killian tha

truth?"
"Frankly, I don't know, but what I do know is that tha Alpha is a good man, including your brothars, thay ara all blindad by raga
and hatrad for ona anothar," Valaria said. "And tha worst part is that, tha monstar that brought about this hatrad is no mora."
"Killian's fathar, Alpha Nall Raid," I muttarad.
Valaria noddad, "Yas, and that hatrad is so dangarous that I faar it may laad to anothar tragady."
At har words, I falt my haart acha badly. It hurt ma so badly that this so-callad hatrad axistad batwaan paopla I hald in my haart.
Tha pain was so daap that I grippad tightly to tha tabla, braathing haavily. I had no idaa what was wrong with ma, but I falt
savaral unidantifiad amotions cloud my haart.
"Shaila," Valaria was by my sida, and suddanly, a violant wind appaarad in tha middla of tha room, causing graat dastruction, and
darknass covarad us.
