With a deep sigh, she continued, "Many years ago, an Alpha from Roan's lineage cruelly rejected his wolfless mate. He looked down upon her being wolfless. He played with her emotions, bullied her relentlessly, and even drove her to abort their unborn child. In her despair and fury, she turned to her friend—the most powerful witch of that time. Together, they cursed his bloodline. Every Alpha would bear the burden of making their mates wolfless. If you choose to be with Alpha Roan, you will lose your wolf. Your wolf will never wake up."
I felt a pang of sorrow at her words. But one glance at the orb, and I saw more than a curse. I saw the man I had loved long before I knew he was my mate.
"But..." I stammered, my resolve wavering. Despite the gravity of the curse, my love for Roan shone brighter. "Mom, I don't care anymore. I'm so sorry, but I will choose my mate!"
My mother’s eyes widened, pleading for me to reconsider. "Are you sure about that? Think carefully, my daughter. Won't you regret losing your wolf? Your essence, your spirit?"
