Alpha’s Cursed Mate

***********

Leo’s POV

***********

“What kind of dream is that?” I thought as I pulled off my wet clothes.

My wolf running after me. And that too in my dream.

I sighed and went through my wardrobe. Bringing out a short and a sleeveless top, I wore them. I picked up my phone and switched it on.

25 messages. 101 missed calls.

From my friend. Alpha Blake.

I called his number. He picked it almost immediately.

“Hello.” He spoke up.

“Hello.” I answered back.

“I have been calling for the past one hour.” He complained.

“I’m sorry. Just came back back from Washington.” I said and walked out of room.

“Are you busy?” He asked.

“No, not really.” I said as I poured wine into the wine glass. I sipped a little and dropped it.

“I need your help. Come over, let’s talk.” He said in a pleading tone.

“Okay. I will come over tomorrow.” I said.

“Thanks.” He replied.

“Bye.” I said and disconnected the call.

I carried my wine and went to sit on the couch. I turned on my TV and started watching a show.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

My doorbell rang.

I stood up and went to open the door. Leticia’s head popped in. I moved away and she walked.

“Oh my gosh. Look at how you have become.” She said, cupping my face. I dropped her hands and walked back to the couch. I sat down.

“Leo, I know something is wrong. You look like you have not eaten for the past two weeks.” She said worriedly.

“You know what? Let me prepare some food for you then you can explain what happened to me.” She said and went into the kitchen.

After some minutes, she came out of the kitchen and placed the food before on the table. She smiled and sat down.

“Eat up before it gets cold.” She urged me. I looked at her questioningly and started eating. She watched me eat. It was kind of spicy so I couldn’t finish it.

After I was done with it, I cleaned my mouth with a tissue and dumped beside the tray.

She stood up and carried the tray. After a while she came out cleaning her hands with a towel.

“Leo, yesterday when we were talking, you kind of growled.” She said gently picking the right choice of words.

“Leticia.” I called out.

“I have told you. My throat was dry and I had a blockage.” I explained.

“But you..”

“Leticia.” I said almost shouting. I was really tired of her questions.

“Maybe we could go see the doctor.” She suggested again.

“Leticia, I am fine. Thank you.” I said relaxing a bit.

“What of your boyfriend?” I asked her changing the subject.

“He’s good. He went out of town.” She said and slumped down on the couch.

“Oh, okay.” I said standing up.

“I want to go for a walk.” I said and before further words from her, I already exited the house.

I walked down the street as I felt the breeze blow by me.

“Run.” It said. I stopped immediately. I swallowed lightly.

“Run.” The voice came again.

I looked around to see if someone was there but no one was so close to me to sound like. The voice came like from within me.

“Run. Go for a run.” It explained.

“Go for a run?” I asked.

“Who are you?” I asked but got no response. Everything went silent.

“I think I will have go back home right. Seems like I am losing my mind.” I said hitting my forehead. I turned back and walked to my apartment.

I pushed the door open and went in.

“Back so early?” Leticia asked.

“Yeah.” I replied curtly and went into my room.

Jeff

I needed to be let out. I was suffocating. After catching my mate in between two males, I have not gotten the chance to go for a run.

I even tried telling my stupid human. Gosh, I must be so unfortunate to have someone like him as my human.

He needs some lecturing.

**Next Morning**

This place was dark. So dark. I turned around and saw a ray of light. Someone stood there.

“Who are you?” I asked him, fear gripping me. His back faced me. He chuckled.

“I repeat who are you?” I asked taking slow strides towards him. He still did not turn. We were wearing the same clothes and almost had the same body-like structure.

When I was just three steps away from him. He turned around and my eyes went wide open with mouth agape.

He looked just like me. I looked just like him. We had the same face, same eyes, same nose, same ears. Same things.

My hands acted on its own and slowly moved to his face. I touched it and he felt so real.

“Who are you?” I asked and he only smiled.

“I am Jeff.” He said.

“Jeff?” I asked and then everything went blank. I turned around trying to move.

“Hey, Jeff. Come back here.” I yelled. It was so dark and blinding. Then suddenly I heard a sound like someone was whistling far away.

I tossed around on the bed. The sound did not still stop. I took a pillow and placed it over my head.

The sound did not stop.

“Will you stop making that sound?” I yelled out frustratedly. Leticia pulled up the curtains and pursed her lips.

“Oops, never knew you were still sleeping.” She said opening the window.

“It’s morning already?” I asked.

“Yeah. Obviously.” She said and rolled her eyes. I hissed out and laid on my back. I gazed at the ceiling.

“What would you like to eat this morning?” Leticia asked but I was too far away from her.

“Hey, bro.” Leticia called me as she tapped me. I brought down my hands from my face and looked at her angrily. She scoffed.

“What would you like to eat? I have been calling you for some minutes. Wonder what it is you are thinking about.” She said.

Then I remembered that I was going to visit my friend, Alpha Blake. I jerked up immediately and walked past Leticia.

“Anything is alright by me.” I replied.

“Pancakes and coffee.” She said over her voice.

I entered my bathroom and slam the door shut.

I was trying to put the paste on my toothbrush when I saw my reflection in the mirror.

“Jeff” the name sounded in my head.

“Jeff, who are you?” I asked.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

“I am you.” The voice said.
