Blood Of The Cursed

by BrittanyAnn Robinson

  Once we arrived at the lagoon we were able to see all kinds of fish. The shallow water brought in all kinds of species, and most of them were very friendly.

  “Baby look! Look how close that stingray is. Fucking awesome.” Rhett exclaimed as he put his face underwater. The spot the excursion company we went through picked, was shallow enough for us to touch, and our heads could be above water.

  “This is amazing. So many colors on the reef, and look at all of the different fish!” Hopefully, we don’t see any sharks. I think my wolf would make a break for it, and protect me if she were to sense some danger. Then we’d really be screwed. The thought of my wolf with a shark hanging out of her mouth made me laugh. I pushed the mental picture to Rhett, making him look at me, shaking his head and laughing.

  “Scarlett, the things you think about shouldn’t surprise me, yet they still do. You’re such a weirdo.”

  “Yeah, but I’m your weirdo. And you love me for it.” I leaned over and kissed him.

  “If all these people weren’t around, I’d take you right where you stand.” He whispered into my ear. Well, there literally was already an ocean in between my legs, but those words just doubled the wetness.

  “Oh yeah, how bad do you want me?” I whispered back.

  “Don’t tease me woman.” Rhett warned.

  “What are you going to do about it?” I slid past him, purposely rubbing up against him. I turned around, and couldn’t help but giggle. The look on his face was hilarious.

  “Just wait until we get back to the bungalow. I’ll show you what happens when you tease me.” He said as he turned the other way.

  I behaved myself the rest of the time we were out in the water, after all there were plenty of people around and I didn’t feel like getting scolded by the elderly for indecent acts in the water.

  The ride back to the bungalow went by quickly. The water in the lagoon was as calm as could be. The lagoon wasn’t murky so you could see all the way to the bottom. It didn’t look very deep, but with water, looks are deceiving. It could be super deep in spots and you wouldn’t know unless you jumped in and tried to touch the bottom. As our boat made its way across the lagoon, I looked out across the water, thinking how grateful I am that we are fortunate enough to be here. Not everyone gets to come to a place like this. I couldn’t imagine myself here with anyone other than my mate. Sensing my emotions, Rhett wrapped his arm around me, looking down at me and smiled.

  “I love you, Scarlett. I’m so glad we got to experience this amazing place together.” Then he looked back out to the water.

  After the boat ride, we finally arrived back to our bungalow. After shutting the door, I stripped my clothes off in front of Rhett, making sure to wiggle my ass as I slid down my bikini bottoms. I looked over my shoulder and smirked.

  “What did I say about teasing me?” He walked up behind me and slapped my ass hard.

  I let out a gasp.

  “You’re going to have to do better than that big boy.” I laughed. I knew teasing him would make this more fun.

  “Oh, I’ll show you better alright. Get on the bed.”

  Knowing he wasn’t using his alpha command, and it was just foreplay, it turned me on. I did as he asked, and got onto the bed, laying down on my back. I spread my legs all the way open, and put my hands between my legs, playing with myself. Giving him a show. I was already wet.

  Rhett stood there staring at me with smoldering eyes. He slowly undressed, and grabbed his shaft into his hands and started to pump.

  “Get over here.” I wanted him, now.

  “Not yet, I’m still going to get you back for teasing me in the water today.” Rhett replied, while he still held himself in his hand. Two of us can play this game. I closed my eyes and continued to play with my clit, sliding my fingers in and out of myself, moaning out loud. My moans got a little louder, and that’s when I felt the bed dip. I could feel Rhett hovering over top of me.

  “Well played Scarlett.” He pushed himself inside of my wet opening, causing me to moan louder than I was when I was pleasing myself. He rammed himself into me harder, this only increased my want for him.

  I tried wrapping my arms around him, but Rhett pushed them to the bed.

  “No hands put them above your head and keep them there.” I did what he asked, putting my arms above my head, tucking them underneath my pillow and my head. He began rubbing my clit as he pumped in and out of me. I moaned loudly. Fuck does that feel good. I finished hard and fast, yet Rhett kept on rubbing me. I went to move his hands.

  “Don’t you dare move your hands, Scarlett.” Rhett growled playfully.

  “Cum for me again, baby.” He began pumping faster and harder. I could tell he was close to coming.

  “Fuck Scar.” Rhett says as he finishes. I moaned and yelled as I finished for the second time today.

  Sweat dripped off the both of us. If it wasn’t for the stories I heard about the eels that come out in the water at night, I’d take a swim butt ass naked right now. Oh well, always time for a swim in the morning.

  “Let’s get in the shower so we can call it a night.” Rhett said, giving me a kiss on the cheek.

  We woke up early enough the next morning to watch the sunset and take a quick swim. We just finished up with our shower and a quickie before breakfast showed up. Soon after we finished breakfast we got packed up and started our long journey home. Neither of us wanted to leave, but we had to get back and get the curse broken.

  16

  We finally arrived back home, both Scarlett and I tired from the trip back. We were greeted with many welcomes when we got back to the packhouse, it was good to be back home. Today is the day Amora and Sybil attempt to put an end to the bullshit we all endured. Scarlett filled the girls in on our trip to Bora Bora. Finn, Jackson and I talked in my office. They filled me in on the last couple of days. Only a few minor pack issues and some business issues came up but were handled accordingly by my Beta. Jackson took care of the bills and whatever paperwork came up. I guess some companies called to do some business with us. Over the years I built and ran various businesses. I own a few fashion and retail businesses. As well as technology, healthcare, and manufacturing. My latest venture is getting into Energy. My pack and I hurt for nothing. All my pack have jobs in each business.

  “You two have done well. Thank you for taking care of everything while I was away. The witches will be here today to try and break that god awful curse. I want you two to take some time off. Go relax or spend time with the girls. Whatever you want. Scarlett and I will handle everything.” I demanded.

  They looked at each other and then back at me. I knew what was coming. “Sorry Alpha, not happening. It’s our job and duty to stand by you.” Finn spoke up.

  “Pretty sure I’m the Alpha of this pack, Finn. I’m not making a suggestion, but a command. No more backtalk. I’m aware of the roles you two have and I know you take them seriously. I appreciate that. But, I’m ordering you two to relax. You deserve it. Now. Go.” That’s all I had to say to them, so I went back to checking emails.

  They frowned and left my office. Stubborn bastards. But good men. A knock came at the door and I figured it was them coming back to protest.

  “If I have to kick your fucking ass..”

  “Whoa, baby. It’s just me.” Scarlett said with shock on her face.

  “Oh shit. Scarlett. I’m sorry darling, I thought you were the guys coming back to argue. I’m sorry baby.” I said sincerely.

  She giggled. I love it when she giggles. “It’s okay, my love. I saw them both walk out with angry faces. Laying down the law today are we?”

  “Sometimes it needs to be done. I know we are all close, but they need to remember who their Alpha is.” She walked over and sat on my lap, wrapping an arm around my neck. She placed a kiss on my lips.

  “Mmmm. Don’t start anything you can’t finish, Scar.” I growled.

  She smiled. “ I would love to start something, you know that.”

  �
��But?”

  “My dad is on his way over. The witches will be here soon. It’s time to finish all of this.” She said seriously.

  “Agreed. Alright then, let’s go wait outside for our guests.” I picked her up in my arms and carried her outside to the porch. I sat down on the porch swing with her in my lap. She laid her back against my chest, I wrapped my arms around her. Digging my face into her neck to breathe in her scent. It will never get old.

  We sat there silently for a moment. Kids were playing in the backyard. Scarlett intently watching. I could tell her mind was wandering.

  “You okay, baby?”

  “Yeah, I’m fine. Just thinking about Phoenix, what he would have looked like. I could imagine him playing with other children. Wrestling with you. Snuggling with me…” She stopped, and I heard her sniffle.

  I positioned her differently to where she was facing me. I cupped her face with my hands and brought her in for a soft kiss. I wiped her tears away. “I’m sorry, Scarlett. I think about him too. If it makes you feel better, I can arrange to have a plot in the cemetery made up for him. A special headstone with kind words as well. It’s somewhere you could go to talk to him. Just because he isn’t here with us today, doesn’t mean it makes him any less of a son to us.” I said softly.

  Tears sprang up in her eyes again. “I would love that, Rhett. That would mean so much to me. Thank you.” She wrapped her arms around my neck, burying her face into my chest.

  I held her as close as I could. It pains me to see my mate so hurt. “Baby. I know you don’t want to think about trying to have another child right now. But I just want you to know, that when you’re ready, I’m ready. You know I’d do anything for you if it brought you happiness.” I whispered into her hair.

  “I love you so much, my mate. You’re everything to me.” She brought her lips up to mine. There was need and heat in her kiss. I grabbed the back of her head and pushed her lips hard against mine, deepening the kiss.

  Before it went any further, her dad’s suburban rolled up. She pulled away from me and ran to her dad. She took a running jump into his arms. When she flew into him, it almost knocked him on his ass. I laughed. Barret wrapped his arms around her tightly.

  “My baby girl! How was your honeymoon? Everything you wished it would be, I hope.” He swung her around in a circle before setting her down.

  “Oh my god, dad. It was amazing! We had the most amazing time.” She said excitedly.

  “Good, darling. I’m glad.” He looked down at his daughter with nothing but love.

  Amora and Sybil walked up behind Barret. It still amazes me that witches can still appear out of nowhere.

  “Let’s get this started, friends. We will do the spell outside. We can draw power from the elements and it will help with breaking the curse.” Sybil said with a smile on her face.

  “Finn, grab the table from the porch and set it up for Sybil and Amora.” I demanded.

  He did as I asked and set the table on the lawn for the witches. They started laying out crystals, lots of them, and candles. There was a bowl, I’m assuming to put all our blood in.

  “Jackson, get the kids out here back to their parents.” He nodded and gathered up the kids, leading them to where they all lived.

  “Now, before we start, I want to give you guys a layout of what will happen. First, I’ll pour the contents of the blood in the bowl. We will be adding various herbs and other things needed for the spell. Amora and I will cast a spell and if this works, the contents in the bowl will ignite with a red flame and you’ll see a cloud of red smoke rise into the sky. Now, if it doesn’t work, you’ll see a black flame and then nothing will happen. That’s how we will know that we need Celeste’s blood. Vivi assured me she would be able to help out with Celeste if this does not work. I will save some of the blood from the wolf, vampire, and from you two just in case we need to cast this spell again.” Sybil stated seriously.

  The witches started to add in a certain amount of blood from each bottle. They added in some water, dirt, different herbs. They took a knife and pricked their fingers, letting a drop from both of them fall in the bowl. Once satisfied with everything needed to be put in the bowl, they looked at each other and nodded. They started to chant.

  “Sanguine maledictus, misce simul. Misce sanguinem,facere meliorem.”

  The whole time they spoke, the contents of the bowl started to bubble and boil. Letting out a god awful smell that made you want to puke. Scarlett grabbed my hand and pulled me close, shoving her face into my chest to avoid the smell. When the witches finished chanting, I swear the sky got more grey and gloomy. I could feel the energy getting sucked out of me from how much power the spell needed from its surroundings, and from the blood that was taken from Scar and I. I could tell she felt it too by how her energy felt lower.

  Amora and Sybil stepped back a couple feet. Motioning us to do the same. We all took a few steps back. All of a sudden the bowl caught fire with black flames. The flames stood about four feet tall. Fury and disappointment instantly hit me. The flames died down and then disappeared.

  “So now what do we fucking do.” I said angrily. Scarlett slapped my chest, but I didn’t care. I was furious.

  “Now, I get a hold of Vivi.” Amora said as she walked around the garage of the house, where they came in from.

  “I’m sorry. There wasn’t enough of Circee’s blood in the blood of the cursed creatures. Amora will get a hold of her while I clean up the mess and prepare for the next time.” Sybil said as she started to clean up the table. Scarlett stepped up to help her.

  I walked over to Finn and Jackson who had just returned. “I thought I told you two to be gone? Instead, you waited outside and disobeyed me.” I growled.

  Finn and Jackson looked down at their feet.

  “We just wanted to be here to make sure everything was fine. We will leave after this is done. Promise.” Finn spoke up.

  I huffed and walked away to sit on the porch. Barret joined me. The guys just stood there and quietly talked with each other, keeping their distance from me.

  “Try and relax son. They just want to help their Alpha. You can’t be angry for them being so loyal to you. Your whole pack looks up to you, as well as Scarlett. This will be over soon enough.” Barret tried to assure me.

  “I know. I’m doing my best not to strangle people.” I said gruffly.

  Scarlett walked up the steps, walked up to me, and plopped into my lap. Laying her body against me. She rubbed circles on my chest to calm my wolf. I massaged her neck and played with her hair. You’d swear she was a cat by the way she purred. The vibrations from her body were sending waves of pleasure through mine. God, she keeps this up and we might be needing to take a break to the bedroom.

  She could tell what I was thinking, so to tease me she ground her ass against my dick, making it hard. Well played, woman. Well played. Barret chuckled. He wasn’t stupid. He shook his head and got up and walked down around the garage.

  I took a handful of her hair and pulled her head back gently. “You’re walking into dangerous territory.”

  “And you love it when I test the boundaries.” She said smugly. I brought my lips down on hers with a hard crash. She moaned against my lips. She’s going to be the death of me.

  “Alright, that’s enough. I’m ending this now. We have things to concentrate on.” I pushed her off my lap and stood up, trying to smooth away the mega boner she gave me. Wicked little woman.

  “Sorry, baby. I couldn’t help myself.” She winked and walked away from me. All I could do was stand and watch her walk away. I shook my head.

  Amora walked back and stood by Sybil. The rest gathered, wondering what happened with contacting Vivi. I swear they better figure this shit out.

  “My conversation with Vivi went well. Celeste will be here shortly.” She said matter of factly.

  We all just looked at each other dumbfoundedly. Even Sybil looked at Amora with questions written on her face.

  “How is th
at possible. Wasn’t Celeste hidden away and scared? How is she going to be here?” Scarlett asked.

  Amora cleared her throat. “Come to find out, Vivi actually knows Celeste. Vivi was trying to help us send a message to her through the spirit world. Celeste caught hold of it, knowing Vivi was trying to reach her. Celeste contacted her and said she’d help. That she was heartbroken over what her sister did. She will do whatever she can to make things right. As you know Vivi can transport herself anywhere within seconds. Well, she can do this with others as well. They are meeting up and will be here in a matter of…”

  Next thing ya know, Amora was cut off and here in walks Vivi with Celeste. Celeste looked scared, for sure. She was a very pale and frail girl. It looks like she hasn’t eaten in weeks. She had long red hair that went to the middle of her back. It was a rats nest. She had freckles all over her face. She stood about Scarlett’s height. Celeste wrapped her arms around herself and made sure to stay close to Vivi. Vivi had her arm around her, leading her to where Amora and Sybil stood. Celeste definitely wasn’t kidding when she said that she would do what she could to help. She already had the knife in hand and was cutting her own hand, letting her blood fall into the bowl. She squeezed her fist tight so she could get a good amount of blood into the bowl. Once satisfied, she put down the knife and stepped back. Sybil handed her a rag to press against the cut on her hand to stop the bleeding. She gave us a small smile. Scarlett walked up to her and placed her hands on her shoulders. She whispered something in Celeste’s ear. Sounds like a thank you.

  Once they had everything they needed for the spell in the bowl, they started to chant the same thing they did earlier. Only this time they had Celeste chanting along with them, drawing even more power. Before they even finished chanting, flames ignited in the bowl. This time they were red! It worked! Holy fucking shit, it worked!! The flames rose to about four feet tall, emitting red smoke into the atmosphere. All of us looked in awe at the sight in front of us. When the shock settled, everyone started jumping up and down and hugging. It was a huge moment for all of us. Celeste was full-blown crying into Scarlett’s shoulder. I can only imagine how she must feel. Scarlett did her best to console her. Damn, I really love that woman.
