Tasting All My Mates

374-The Beginning Of His Curse

Author's POV:

Years Ago:

"Hi!" Alaric stepped ahead to appear in Shepard's sight while Shepard met with the people who came to see him and pray for Mrs.Shepard.

“Thanks for coming." Shepard shook hands with Alaric. It shocked Alaric to see how dull and lifeless Shepard looked. He used to carry grace and power whenever he walked around. Now he had his head down and only one sentence on his lips.

“Thank you for coming,”

“My name is Alaric Fosters," Alaric introduced himself. Shepard thought he was going to leave, but watching him stay made him raise his head and smile at him.

“How are you, Alaric?” Shepard asked, bowing down and then rubbing his hands on his face. He felt like he was lost. He didn't even realize he was bowing down when he was the alpha of the pack. His mate didn't leave alone. She took away his happiness, his power, his pride, and everything from him.

“I heard what happened," Alaric murmured, looking uneasy as he stared around. His heart kept telling him to make things right.

“I know it is a hard time with you and your pack. I am from the alpha king's pack. I am his servant." Alaric was shaking when talking to Shepard. The alpha noticed how sad Alaric looked.

"Come here,” Shepard said, stepping forward to hug Alaric. It was a surprise to Alaric when Shepard hugged him like that. He had always been ridiculed by the alphas and the alpha kings.
