The Cursed Alpha

(37) Closer

Chapter 37 (EDITED)

Closer

"Don't say that, "I frown

" you're not a-"I cut myself off because I would be lying if I said he's not a monster, he is to a lot of people, to the people he hurt, killed... He was to me but not anymore.

 Now I know that deep, deep really deep inside Andrés is a kind alpha. To me. 

"I believe it is my turn to ask you the questions" Andrés clears his throat " how old are you?"

"16" I answer

He freezes "you're so young" he growls " i'm sorry Amma, look" he looks pained "forget the curse okay? i didn't know you were so young-"

I shake my head "no, this is my destiny, if i don't break then it's over for you and the night-walkers"

"we don't matter"

"how old are you?" i change the subject

Andrés looks uncomfortable, i give him a look and the little twinkle in his eyes returns" guess," he challenges

hmm, " a billion years old?" I blurt out,

the alpha stops mid-walk and just stares at me for a while his brows creased in confusion, " you think, I'm a billion years old?" he questions

uh, yea? I thought he was as old as time... isn't time like a billion years old?

"answer, me, Amma" he growls clenching his jaw

"ah, yes" I gulp

"you're going to regret saying that"

Before I can ask him what he means Andrés grabs my waist and lifts me up and then he is jumping up.

"oh my goddess!" I scream closing my eyes shut and wrapping my arms around his neck tightly.

It felt like we were flying, but we weren't, Andrés was running by the sound of his bare feet hitting the damp ground, but he was running so fast that it almost felt like he was flying. I couldn't open my eyes, I knew that if i did i would get whiplash.

"hold your breath" Andrés yells, his hot breath fans my face and the butterflies come back,

wait- did he say hold my breath?! my eyes burst open and I notice that we're dropping from a cliff, I scream but it's quickly muffled by salt water.

The cold water pushes me down and i try to swim up but I don't know how to do that, i never learned to swim.

My heart starts beating frantically and i start to panic then I feel arms around me thankfully before i can really drown Andrés pulls me out of the water.

"oh my goddess" i heave coughing up the water

"what's wrong?" the alpha asks 

I hold on to him tight, afraid that if i let go i am going to drown again " i can't swim, please let's get out of here" i beg shaking, every minute i was in here, is a minute i could drown to my death.

"Amma it's okay, i got you" the alpha speaks calmly  " just take a deep breath, okay?"

i nod and close my eyes taking a deep breath, when i open my eyes Andrés is staring down at me, he was observing me " we can go back if you want" he speaks eyes his still on me

"o-okay" i shiver

Andrés leans in slowly and I close my eyes waiting for the transportation to happen except the alpha kisses me.
