Beast Alpha and His Cursed Luna
Chapter 49: Birthmark

Chapter 49: Birthmark

VALENCIA’S POV

"So?" I looked at Carl with hope as soon as he entered the house.

"So?" He asked me back, and I rolled my eyes.

He clearly knew what I was talking about, but was deliberately acting naive.

"Come on," I looked at him earnestly.

He looked at me as I followed him inside the house like a little kid before sighing.

"He didn’t say much, honestly. Just told me that I need to stay close to you and -" He made a dramatic pause.

"And?" I walked behind him, but rather than saying anything, he pulled out his phone.

I thought he was about to show me some kind of photo or video or any data that might help me, but when he started playing songs, I looked at him confused.

"What -" I started, but before I could complete my sentence, Carl held my hand and twirled me around, smiling at me sheepishly.

"He said I should make you happy," Carl winked at me.

I am damn sure this isn’t what Dylan must’ve told him. The typical Dylan speech includes things like keeping her away from trouble, not letting her out of your sight, ensuring she doesn’t create any trouble for anyone and especially herself, and not eating too much fast food blah blah...

"And how are you planning on keeping me happy?" I played along.

Carl shrugged as he danced with me, making me giggle.

"I will find that along the way. For now, I think I need to see some recipes online so that I can cook tasty and healthy food for you," Carl said before he pushed me away, kissed the back of my hand, and picked me in the air, making my head spin a little as he started to circle.

"You make me feel alive. It’s a little heaven, let’s create our heaven," Carl sang the song in his offbeat voice, and I chuckled at his antics.

I knew what he was doing. He was basically trying to take my mind off things, and I would be lying if I said that it wasn’t working, because this was too funny.

"Gosh you are heavy," Carl said, earning himself a smack on the head before he put me down.

We both caught our breaths before turning serious and he took a deep breath.

"He is worried, Valencia. It’s just, the thing that the alpha told him got him pretty bad," Carl said.

I furrowed my brows. What about the alpha?

"What did the alpha tell him? Have they finally decided on the verdict against me?" I asked, feeling slightly edgy.

Just today Shadow told me that he wants to be friends with me. Does that mean he knew something was wrong and that was the reason he said he would protect me from the alpha?

’Hey, let’s not jump to conclusions. Many beautiful friendships and relationships are ruined by this stupid overthinking. Don’t be that person,’ Aurora said, and I sighed before nodding at her in understanding.

She was right.

I didn’t need to be that person.

"It’s just... I don’t know, did you have some kind of bad dream or thoughts because of that fire incident?

He said that you kept crying even when you were unconscious. He hinted at some past trauma.

It’s a bit my fault too because I asked Dylan how he didn’t know about it when he is so close to you. He turned sour after that. Maybe he kind of blames himself for that," Carl looked away.

I sighed. Maybe the alpha was there when Shadow took me to the hospital and probably heard my screaming.

Dylan must be feeling sad that I didn’t mention it even after waking up. Maybe that was the reason he wasn’t talking so much, but what was I supposed to do? I didn’t want him to uselessly worry about things.

"Hmm," I hummed before standing from the bed and walking out.

"Just hmm? Aren’t you going to tell me what it is all about?" Carl held my hand to stop me and I shook my head.

"Not right now. Not until I find my own answers," I said before going straight to my room.

As soon as I entered the room, my phone pinged with an incoming message again, and I sighed before looking at it.

[Are you sleeping?] The private messenger said, and I bit my lower lip.

I was yet to reply to this person after that Shadow message.

I was really tempted to because I have always been the impulsive type, but who knows what kind of creep I am talking to? Not to mention, he called an unknown girl like me sweetheart out of the blue.

With a sigh, I picked up my phone again when I saw another message.

[Do I make you feel uncomfortable? It wasn’t in my intention.] The message said and my fingers trembled.

[Who are you?] I finally typed and hit the sent button before widening my eyes.

Damn! Why the hell did I reply? I was supposed to stay quiet.

"Aaa! Why can’t I stay still?" I groaned angrily, throwing myself on the bed.

"Valencia, what’s wrong? Who is it?" Carl rushed to my room, looking at me with an expression that said ’Seriously?’ when he saw me failing my legs.

"I am used to living alone," I said in my defense, smiling when I saw him wearing an apron with a spatula in his hand.

"I can get used to this view," I winked, grinning when a blush crept up his neck and he grabbed the sponge ball from the desk, threw it at me, and left, not before slamming the door.

[Your well-wisher.] The person said, and I quirked my brows.

Well, since I have already replied once, it won’t hurt to reply again, right?

[Be careful of what you say. My well-wisher usually ends up 6 ft under the ground. Believe me when I say I am walking trouble.] I hit the send button before going to take a shower.

’Don’t you think this person’s talking style aligns with Shadow?’ Aurora said as I took off my clothes and looked at the birthmark on my back.

’Shadow? Don’t you usually trust him a lot? Strangely, you suspect him,’ I said and Aurora hummed.

’Well, it’s not like the person has said something awful to us or tried to harm us in any way. What if he is just messing with us?’ Aurora asked, and I hummed vaguely, looking at my birthmark again.

’What are you looking at again and again?’ she asked.

I didn’t answer her and just looked at it.

Was it really me or has this birthmark suddenly become clearer than before? Like more visible. The lines have become darker and more refined as if someone carved -

What am I thinking? How can a mere birthmark become more clear with time? Aren’t they supposed to fade a little as the child grows? I think I indeed need some rest or my ’I am probably special’ complex will make me think about things that are not even there.

I walked out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around my body and checked my phone for any new messages.

[When it comes to love and obsession, I don’t really think risks and dangers matter. Bring whatever danger you want to me, and watch me standing there. Just for you.] The message said and my heart skipped a beat.

What is this? Did my heart really flutter just at some random guy’s message?

But that wasn’t the most important part. Why is everyone influencing me so much these days?

’You haven’t forgotten that you might go into heat soon, right? It’s obvious the opposite gender is going to attract you now more than ever,’ Aurora reminded me of the bomb that had been buried deep and was surfacing slowly, and my heart thumped.

Right. How can I forget about it?

I would be turning into a hormonal teenager soon and want nothing more than s*x. And it won’t just be me. It would be every unmated man around me who would want nothing more than s*x from me.

And all this when there are some rogues ready to kidnap me for god knows what.

Just f*cking great!! Don’t I have the best life in the world?
