Cursed By The Moonlight - Chapter 74

Amaris felt a sudden rage inside her. She had forgotten that painful past, the day Zion cheated on her. She wanted to get away from him, so she jumped off the horse but didn’t expect that she would land with four feet.

Everyone was surprised. They didn’t expect their Luna to shift in the middle of their journey. They stopped when Zion got off the horse to calm Amaris down.

Amaris’ fourth form was a werewolf. Zion was glad that one of her ten forms was their kind. She was a pure white werewolf with amber eyes.

She growled when Zion tried to walk towards her.

“Love, listen to me. I did not cheat on you! It was a mistake. I admit it, but it was not intentional. The witch cast a spell on me.” Zion tried to explain.

‘I don’t believe you.’ She talked to him using a mind link.

‘Why? Because you chose to believe that witch instead of me? You should know by now that I had never wanted to hurt you. I’d rather die than to cause you pain.” Zion said.

Amaris knew that Zion would never hurt her. She wasn’t really sure why she chose to believe that witch. She felt like the witch also put a spell on her. She slowly shifted back to her Terran form, so Zion rushed towards her to cover her body.

Zion pulled her and passionately kissed her on the lips without a word. Amaris knew that he was mad. His kiss became forceful, and he felt his claws were slowly digging into her skin.

He glared at her after letting her go.

“Next time you do that, I’ll punish you.” He said in a cold tone before turning around.

No one said a single word. Zion was soft and gentle towards her, but he was an Alpha. She should respect him, at least. She ran away from him before and was caught by the Gods. Then just weeks ago, she flew away from him and got lost in the Demon Clan’s Territory. Now, she jumped off the horse in front of their companions. She should ask for an explanation first before jumping to conclusions.

She suddenly felt guilty and embarrassed. She easily gets angry with Zion when it comes to women who like him.

They continued their journey, but Zion didn’t talk to her after. Her heart felt like something was piercing on it. She hurt him again, and she wanted to apologize to him.

That incident happened before the Gods caught her. She woke up one morning, and Zion wasn’t beside her. She remembered looking for him inside the castle but could not find him.

She started feeling scared that something had happened to Zion. The witch, Fleur, was a temporary resident of Verlice Castle. She asked for help with the werewolves telling them that she was cast out from her coven. Zion’s parents pitied her and accepted her.

When Amaris was looking for Zion, Fleur came running outside her bedroom. She was startled when she saw Amaris. Fleur was naked, and a towel was only covering her body.

“What happened?” Amaris asked.

Fleur suddenly cried and kneeled in front of her.

“I’m sorry. I tried to stop him, but he insisted. He said he likes me. I like him too.” Fleur said.

Amaris frowned and couldn’t understand what she just said. Then the door from Fleur’s bedroom opened, and she saw Zion half-naked and had a bite on his neck.

Rage suddenly consumed her. She rushed towards Zion and slapped him in the face before running away from Verlice Castle. She knew Zion tried to stop her, but she had already shifted and had gone away from him.

Looking back, she never asked Zion his side of the story. They made love the night before, and Zion was beside her. Now that she was thinking about it, how could he suddenly come out of Fleur’s bedroom?

Zion didn’t mark her yet that time, but they both knew that they were mates and their connection was deeper than their feelings with each other. If Zion had sex with that witch, Amaris would have felt her heart being torn into pieces. But she never felt anything like that.

The sun was about to set, so they needed to stop and camp for the night. They stopped in the middle of the woods near a spring. The others started setting up their tents, so she got off the horse and walked towards the spring.

“You messed up big time.” It was Maxine.

Amaris looked at her cousin and pouted.

“I know. I just thought about it. That witch deceived me! Zion never slept with her. What should I do Max? He’s mad at me.”

Maxine chuckled. “Why do you have to ask? If you just explain and apologize sincerely, I know he will forgive you. The wolf’s crazy about you. But sometimes, you have to initiate the first move since you hurt the Alpha.”

Amaris looked at Zion, who was now sitting under the tree. She didn’t sit beside him and went inside their tent. She sighed and bit her lips before calling him.

‘Can we talk?’ She talked using the mind link.

He didn’t answer, but he came inside the tent after a few minutes.

“So, what do you want to talk about?” He asked.

“I’m sorry. My apology is one hundred years too late. But I want you to know that I believe you and that witch deceived me. I was wrong. Can you forgive me?” She said in a gentle voice.

Zion didn’t say a word and was just looking at her. Amaris was standing next to their bed while he stood a few feet away.

“What will you do if I don’t forgive you?” He asked.

“I won’t take no for an answer, so I guess I just have to say sorry using my body.” She said in a raspy voice.

Before Zion could answer, she took her clothes off and walked towards him, naked.
