To Break His Curse

AURELIA

I get confused about the location of the bedroom but Ava spots me while prancing around the house on her phone and she shows me the direction. I cross my fingers and hope that Estella is not around, as her husband claims.

I get to the corridor that Ava described and the second I spot my mum standing outside a door, I know that I have found it.

“What are you doing here?” she furrows her brows and I roll my eyes.

“is she here?” I only mouth, not even whisper and she shakes her head.

“phew! Thank goodness!” I breath a sigh of relief before leaning against the wall.

“You will not believe it.” I roll my eyes yet again.

I need to stop. Chantel is not worth the eye strain!

“what are you talking about? Are you sneaking around the main house? You need to leave before they think I am in on your ingenious plan!” she begins pushing me away while looking around and I just burst out laughing.

“mommie, you worry too much!” I laugh before pushing her hands off me.

“Chantel lied to get me in trouble and my punishment is cleaning this room.” I point at the closed door.

“so how messy is the pig’s den?”

She frowns, looking confused before she crosses her arms.

“No, you must be mistaken. Alpha Bale knows I am here cleaning. He was in the room when I arrived. I cleaned earlier and I was back here waiting for… You know who.” She clears her throat to talk about the witch of the entire pack.

She is literally insufferable and a nightmare of the century! The nightmare worth noting in any century!

“I heard him, mommie. He used the words “my room”, there is no way I could mistake that.”

I explain and she just opens the door before motioning for me to walk in.

“Have a look then! As clean as can be.” I walk into the room and it is actually my first time being in here.

They did not go cheap on it at all and the bed is huge.

As it should be I guess!

I roll my eyes after noticing the pictures of Chantel that are filling the wall. The room is spectacular, but in a rating, it loses a single star because of the pictures. They are too much and not a single one of her disastrous outfits that are not even a bit hidden match the colour scheme.

“Okay, get out then!” my mum pulls my forearm and shuts the door once she manages to pull me out of the room.

“So.. What should I do now? What if he genuinely forgot that you were here earlier? He has never been creative with punishes and you know it. If it is not the death penalty then it is basically useless or expected.” I shrug and she appears to be in deep through.

“okay, just stand here with me and if the missus asks why you are here, you will just tell the truth.” She has it all figured out, although being still while doing nothing at all is not something I am good at.

“How about you wait here and I explore the inside?” I question and laugh even before that deep frown sets on her face.

“you are so predictable, mum!” I give her a playful tap on the shoulder before standing by the door.

It feels like I have been a tree by the door for hours but once the thirty minute mark hits, I decide to leave her behind. Thankfully the big nightmare lady did not find me there because I usually find it hard to talk to her.

She just triggers me, and the fact that I just can’t grab her red hair and throw her over the top of a cliff bothers me enough when I am talking to her that I would rather avoid finding myself in the scenario at all.

Another thing I am thankful for is the fact that I do not encounter the witch that put me here in the first place.

I do wish that I encountered Colton again… I do not know what to call him but I know it is Colton.

That’s it! I need to get to bed fast so I can dream about him and ask him what the f**k Chantel gave him or why he was here.

It feels unreal, and a part of me is already acting like it was all just a dream.

Even though it would not make sense that everything else was not a dream.

I keep thinking about it over and over, thinking back to the moment when his blue eyes locked with mine and his parted lips just looked so…

Mmm.. I need to have that dream continue!

The worst part is, the s****l dreams never carry on where they left off. Everything else has just been a continuation of our lives. Growing together and creating memories. I live for the day he proposes to me and we can get married.

Yeah… Call me psycho!

That was not him in there, not at all! I just need to accept that my dream man still lives in my dreams and Chantel can have whoever that was in there.

I don’t know why I am still so bothered when in the first place, I never expected him to leave my dreams. I was determined to have him and live the perfect world that we do for the few hours of my life that I can give me everyday.

I get back to the house and the first thing I am aiming at is my bed. f**k the chemistry assignment. I just need some reassurance from my Colton. That he would never cheat on me or accept papers being placed on his f*****g lap!

That’s right…thats why I am mad.

I feel like Colton cheated on me!

I know it was not him, that was Steele or whoever! I should not care, especially since I am certain he is a wolf. He would not have respect from Alpha Bale otherwise. The are all the same. They think they are better than everyone else!
