Page 61 of Fated to Wolves


Font Size:  

The genie spell had given me power I’d never known before, and Mason and Leo thought that was me.My magic.Naturally.What would they say when they learnt the truth?

I had to tell them.I had to convince them that they were mistaken.That they were only enamored with me because I’d helped lift the curse from their parents.And that had only happened because of Harry, not me.

I sat up on the bed, rubbing my eyes and wiping away the tears.Was that the answer?

If I got rid of my magic, would they be able to see me for what I was?A plain, chubby witch who could never hold the interest of two wolf shifters.Could I reverse the gift of the genie spell?

Or maybe I needed to lift the fated mate curse?Leo and Mason deserved to love and marry.If they weren’t attracted to me against their will, surely they’d choose to move on?

I slid off the bed and rushed to the bathroom so I could splash some water on my face.

I couldn’t get rid of my genie gift.The backlash could be devastating.Not just for me, but for all the other big girls that I’d wished would be more powerful.

So, the only solution was to lift the fated mate curse that had its teeth in my men.

I growled, then glared at myself in the mirror.“Stop thinking they’re your men.They’re not.”

And they never would be.Even if Mom seemed to think we were meant to be.I didn’t believe her either.She just wanted me to have an extraordinary life.She didn’t realize that I wasn’t her.That I may never find a man who would love me, the way she’d found Dad.

I raced to my bookshelf and pulled down one book after another.There had to be a spell about fated mates, surely?

I scanned page upon page, finding nothing.

Then finally I put my hands out and called to my new magic, asking for the book that would show me the way to unhook Mason and Leo from the mate curse.A large, dusty tome flew into my arms and I staggered under the weight.

The book wasn’t familiar, quite the opposite.

I sat down on the couch and opened the book on my lap, determined to find the spell that would unhook us all from this mess.

And once I freed my men from feeling the way they did, then maybe I could find a spell to lift the heartbreak I knew would follow once I lost them.

Better now than in a year.

I used my magic once more to flick open the front page, then the pages whirled past, fanning my face as they found the perfect spell for me.

And there it was.

Unhooking a love spell.

I pressed my lips together.Was that the right one?Really?I hadn’t put a spell on them, and neither had any other witch.That I knew of, anyway.Who knew how and where the fated mates idea had come from?

I grabbed the book hard, the ancient paper crinkling beneath my grip.The spell was basic enough.I wasn’t sure how much power would be necessary, but I was going to try.Mason and Leo didn’t deserve to be hooked to me against their will for the rest of their lives.

With tears streaming down my face, I stood up, held out my hands and began the spell.

I spoke Mason and Leo’s name when the spell asked for it and I concentrated on their faces, memories of their voice and their touch filtering through me.They didn’t deserve to have the burden of being married to a woman like me.

A woman they’d never choose on their own.I couldn’t handle it.I would be totally besotted with them, whereas their feelings were all linked to a spell.

A spell I was about to break.

Pain tingled along my nerves, filling my arms and going straight for my head.

The spell was almost done, and yet the magic was fighting me, wanting me to stop.

I forced the words from my throat and the spell was done.I was lightheaded and couldn’t open my eyes.They felt weighed down by lead.

I staggered sideways, crashing into the sofa.
