Cursed Alpha's Witch Mate

Huh? Just what is happening? Exactly what was up with her expression of distress?

"Ella, drop what you're doing and come with me right now!" She muttered hastily and dashed out of the kitchen.

She was very confused, and Ella could not figure it out. What's going on? She had first heard a scream, and now here was Lisa, looking completely wild. What on earth possibly be going on here?

She disconnected

the regional chef and hurried out of the room to find Lisa.

Until they reached a room, she followed Lisa closely behind. This was Snow's bedroom.

Lisa proclaimed, "She's here," as they entered the chaotic area.

When Ella went to check on Snow, she found her asleep on the bed.

Goodness! Just what the heck is wrong with her???

While she was aware that she had been feeling under the weather the day before, she had no clue that her condition would worsen to this point.

Madame Eva, her stepmother, shouted to her as Ella got out of bed.

"It's plain to see that we're going to lose Snow, and I don't want that to happen. That's why we're looking for some leaves as a temporary solution to her condition. We need you to go pick some Olive leaves for us. "

Ella completely lost her ability to speak.

It took her a few seconds to digest what she had just heard, and during that time she was speechless. To pause.... Exactly what are they discussing, I ask?

As in, "Olive leaves?" Her eyes rolled and she sneered.

"I don't . For the life of me, I can't figure this out. It's the only place you'll find Olive leaves, and they're only located surrounding the cave.

"We know where the Olive leaves are, and we need you to go collect tOlive," Lisa chimed in.

"However, the Alpha King has ordered complete closure of all facilities. As a result, no one should go outside." Ella's heart was pounding so hard that she stammered.

"I can't afford to lose my daughter, Ella. Which means it's up to you to go acquire it for us. "

A pause, as if everyone had been taken aback, followed. Then her dad came up to talk to her.

"Ella, I get it. We need you to do this, however, so please comply. It's crucial. Don't fret... " He said reassuringly, "the moon goddess will be with you; you won't be caught."

But Dad, it's impossible for me to accomplish that. Concerned about being discovered. Or maybe the Alpha knows someone is disobeying his directives. There's no doubt in my mind that I'll soon be dead.

"Ella, pay attention and do what you're instructed!" replied he, in a boisterous tone.

"You never fail to look at things from all angles. This is a command from your Dad, so please comply. Leave!!"

A tremor ran through Ella's body as her eyes began to well up with panic.

Even now, she still couldn't believe it. Who would want to kill her more than her own family? Exactly what has she done to warrant this punishment?

"You can do it, Ella! There isn't much time left. Go!" Ella, bolted from the home. She may be on her deathbed today.

Watching the King, his guard, and his gamma, Queen Olivia stood at the window and stared outside.

Olivia noticed that the morning was abnormally silent and chilly, and not simply because of the lockdown. Strange, however, was the aroma that permeated the air.

The wind roaring outside, the early clouds, the chill air brushing her cheeks through the open window... She could tell that these morning staples were off since they didn't have their customary zing.

Were there bad guys on the mountain, and the King wanted to shut everyone down to prevent an uprising? He had been hiding from everyone since the day before. Olivia had tried several times to visit his rooms, but he always refused her entrance.

He was putting everyone under lockdown, but why? Where was he going, exactly, with his guard

and gamma?

She kept on watching them till his beta, Jeremy, approached him.

He bowed, "My King."

"Where are you going? Can I come with you if you want?

Since Jeremy was his stepbrother, he had appointed him as beta, the second highest position in the pack.

While King Spenser attended to his duties, he said nothing.

When Jeremy called, he muttered, "Don't bother," and hung up.

Even though Jeremy was the King's sole step brother, he was merely the King's beta, and if we're talking about proximity, the King was far closer to his gamma.

The King clearly adored and favored his gamma more, which irritated the beta, Jeremy, since the beta should have had more power as the second in charge after the King.

To be honest, the King should treat him like a beta and raise him up, so why doesn't he? When should he have been farther from his gamma? When he needed something done quickly, he'd give it to his gamma instead of his beta, who was supposed to do it.

Jeremy, still single, was frustrated since he didn't want to share the spotlight with anybody.

Jeremy was the younger brother of King Spenser, and the King's mother had pushed for him to be named beta. Every single one of them adored Powers. But he still hadn't managed to get the most potent abilities he need.

Olivia watched as he went away, presumably to his rooms. She had some idea of how depressed he must feel.
