Cursed Love

Chapter 2

Zan's POV

Averick was coming home today, and I was excited as I was still planning on how to tell him. I had a few ideas, but there was something nagging the back of my mind. Suddenly fear shocked through my system and my eyes flashed to their blue color as I knew many people just crossed the border that did not belong to this pack.

Don't worry love, it's just me and a few of our new allies. They'll be staying in the pack house for a while till the treaty is completed. Averick's voice filled my head and I relaxed, sighing a little as then my heart raced. He's home!

I didn't even bother responding to Averick as I ran down the stairs and burst through the doors before running to where they were, but I froze when I saw Averick, which I was happy about. It was the large group behind him and Hendrick. Five large horses in a group behind him, one in particular bigger than the rest which I could only assume to be the leader. Then four different kind of large cats, the biggest being a tiger.

My ears laid back and Averick ran forward once he saw my uneasiness and gently nudge my muzzle with his and my stress disapeared and I nuzzled into him, smiling.

Averick, who are all of these people? I asked and he sighed, pressing his forehead against mine as he let out a low purr sounding noise as he closed his eyes. He was clearly tired from the journey.

Its the heirs and a few of their warriors with them. They'll be staying in the spare bedrooms for a while.  He explained and I nodded. I let him lean against me as I faced the group and bowed my head.

I shifted into my human form, my clothes still in place, but when the others shifted besides two of them, they had to get dressed with the clothes that they had carried some way or another.

"I am Luna Zan, I welcome you into our pack's home." I said with a nod of my head. One of the large men of the horse herd stepped forward, a fist over his chest as he bowed his head.

"I am Jerall of the Black Hoof Herd, the soon to be chief. I thank you for accepting me and my warriors into your home Luna." He said in a gruff voice, closing his eyes. His hair was long even though he was large and looked as if he worked out daily. His black hair was braided and reached the middle of his back.

Another man stepped forward from the cat group, another man. Another heir as well?

"I am Borris of the Night Claw Clan, the soon to be clan leader. I also thank you for letting me and my warriors stay Luna." the man spoke, smiling down at me and he grasped my shoulders which kind of scared e before pressing his forehead to mine.

"May the gods guide us to a peaceful visit." He said as he prayed. Averick growled nonetheless, but I noticed the other clan members bowing their heads.

"May the gods guide us to a peaceful visit." I repeat and Borris seemed to beam down at e as he stepped back. I then lead them back while grasping Averick's hand.  I linked my arm with Averick as I smiled at him. "There is something I want to give you later." I said softly we walked into the house. I went to continue when I saw Rhaelan pull up in the car with the other warriors that were coming back fro school and Borris tensed.

"Mate." Borris growled lowly and my eyes widened as Rhaelan didn't even notice. I closed the door quickly before my eyes flashed blue and I slammed the tiger against the wall.

"Borris, now listen to me. That's my daughter. I don't mind that she is your mate, but she is only 15 years old and going through school. If you want to have her, you better win her heart the good old fashion way. If I find out you use the mate thing on her, I will fucking castrate you!" I snarled at the man, and at first he growled but I snarled in his face. I then backed away, a straight face as I opened the door and smiled at Rhaelan. As expected though, Borris said nothing.

"Dad!" Rhaelan jumped at Averick and Averick caught her, chuckling as he swung her around, hugging her tightly.

"Rhae!" Averick chuckled and I smiled at him.

"Did mom tell you he was pregnant ye-" Averick ended up dropping Rhaelan from the sudden news and I couldn't help but to face palm.

"Is... Is this true Zan?" Averick asked, in shock.

I glare at Rhaelan who just looked there, innocent and I sigh.

"Well I was actually about to show you..." I walked into the kitchen and brought out a cake that said I'm pregnant on the cake. "I was going to show you this, but Rhaelan ruined the surprise..." I sighed and Averick took the cake and set it to the side before picked me up and kissing me. My body went limp in his arms as I rested my hands on his shoulders and I felt his tears hit my face.

"I'm so happy." he said softly, his voice raspy as he pressed his forehead to his. I smiled at him and hugged him tightly.

A gruff voice cleared their throat and I looked over to see a flustered Jerall.

"I was wondering if we would be going to school while here." he asked and Averick looked over, pissed that the moment was ruined. He sighed.

"Yes, you start tomorrow." He said as picked me up in his arms.

"Hendrick, show the to their rooms." Averick said as he carried me to our room and by the feeling of it, he was happy to see me.
