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 . " 11 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 . 11 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 .
