The Cursed Prince Mate (Royal Wolf Mate #3)

Chapter 1

CHAPTER 1

KAI

I was on my way to the vineyard when Rita texted me."I am at the warehouse, can't wait to see you."

I grunted and didn't bother responding. I mean, it was completely unnecessary to inform me of your arrival because it is not a random or last-minute plan; it is our regular sex night. There is something seriously wrong with people in this world, whether they are humans, vampires, shapeshifters, warlocks, or demons. Rita, Penny, Mila, and the list goes on. Every single girl on my list believes that "fuck buddies" is equal to eternal soulmates.

I have to keep my soul and beast calm; this is the only reason I put up with every girl's crap because they help me to vent my rage, desire, and frustration in their pussies.

We have the power to glamour our true identity. No one knows who we are except for my driver, Alex, and his sister, Anna, the first humans my brother Eli and I interacted with when we fell on Earth via a portal from our world Eldaria. Anna is now a werewolf because Eli marked her. She lacks the cosmic powers that Eli and I have. Like to glamourize ourselves and hide our true identity or read minds, among many other abilities. According to Eli, when he first saw Anna, he saw the eternal soulmate light all over her the sign in our world, Eldaria, to identify an eternal soulmate. I initially doubted Eli's claim, but later I realized they were meant to be together.

Alex usually went to another warehouse after dropping me off, but today he knew I wouldn't stay overnight, so he stayed in the car. I opened the gate, and Rita was waiting for me. High heels, a long trench coat, red lipstick, and a hat. I asked every girl to come wearing these four things only because this is how I soothe myself.

She flashed me her typical sultry smile and attempted to hug me, but I stopped her and walked past like I always do. I'm not too fond of hugging and kissing on the cheeks, which I consider unacceptable formalities. Rita followed me, and when we arrived at our spot, I turned and clutched her arms. "Are you ready?"

Rita sighed and nodded.

I got near to her ear and whispered. "Run."

I closed my eyes and listened to the sound of her heels hitting the floor as she ran which ignited a spark in my body, adrenaline rushed through my veins. She ran swiftly since she was a werewolf and assumed I was unaware of it. When she got far enough away I began chasing her and a thrill poured through my body. The pleasure of running after my target calms my wild wolf. Once I catch them I rip off their coat, fling back their hats, and watch when their hair fell on their tits as I pin them naked under me.

I envelop her from behind, and her laugh mixed with screams heighten my excitement. I turned her face towards me and split her coat, rolling it down from her arms and let it fall on the floor. My dick is swollen enough to get out of my pants. She smirks and attempts to flee, but I pick her up and tie her hands to a bench. I hear her wolf growling in her chest. I rip a condom from my wallet, tearing it with my teeth and rolling it over my dick. I can’t take any chances on having my pubes on earth and revealing my true identity. Rita gasps, and I rub the head of my dick over her wet pussy, and then drive into her with one deep push. I thrust until I cursed and came deep in her pussy.

Rita was spent and near passing out. I stood up and put back on my custom-made Armani suit. I knew why she was looking at me that way, so I untied her and pointed at her stuff. “Put those on, we’re leaving.” I started walking towards the gate.

Rita whined, assuming I would care, “But we always stay the night.”

I turned around rapidly and spoke firmly, “Rita, this was our last time.”

Rita started to yell, then her yelling turned into cursing. I opened the gate of the warehouse and shut it behind me. I motioned Alex to the gate; he nodded and called his men to ensure Rita safely home.

The next morning, at 9 a.m., I looked outside through a large expanse of glass from the 115th floor of my towering empire while drinking whiskey. If I were human it might be too early to drink, but not for me because I never get tipsy. I always drink whiskey because I enjoy the taste. As I savored the amber malt, I started thinking about my curse. Tonight is the full moon and I refrain from talking or doing anything that needs focus on every full moon when the beast emerges.

There was a knock at my door and I knew it was Rachel, my assistant, and also one of my plethora of fuck buddies. I sighed. “Yeah, come in.”

Rachel stepped inside, her heels clinking against the cement floor. She had been working for me for five years and was the best assistant I had ever had. Mostly because she didn't talk much, never answered back, and never asked questions. She may not talk a lot, but she does moan a lot when I eat her pussy. She cleared her throat. “Mr. Parker, I have shortlisted a girl for the job you posted and I wanted to schedule her final interview with you around 5 p.m.”

Before I told her to cancel the interview, my phone started ringing and Rachel walked out. Rita’s name flashed on my screen. It was her almost hundredth call. I grunted and picked up, “I told you Rita we are done.”

She yelled out, "But did I do to deserve this?"

Her cries tested my patience. "You developed feelings for me, you started expecting us to spend time together. I don't do that shit, and also I have to keep renewing the names on my list of sex partners.”

Rita responded, “All I wanted…”

I shook my head and hung up the phone and then blocked her number. I should have done it the moment I pulled my dick out of her.

So focused on my own headaches I had completely forgotten Rachel was leaving to get married. After all, she’s human and has a limited life circle. I can't force her to stay or not marry. If she were supernatural I might have considered talking to her about it.

I swallowed the rest of the whiskey in one go and walked over to my chair. Every time I end things this happens. I can't help it that I can't do any couply things with any girl. I do sex because I have strong urges to fulfill. Also, I have a list of dead girls with whom I fell in love during my early days on Earth. I was petrified after the death of my first girlfriend. She was not my eternal soulmate, but I liked her. I continue to believe my eternal soulmate is in my world "Eldaria" because if she were on Earth, I would have met her. She must be dissatisfied or restless in Eldaria like I am on Earth. Not a single girl on Earth could have pleased me or satisfied my soul the way we Eldarians wanted. It took me years to understand the cost of attempting to form relationships. Guilt and agony slam into me as they usually do when I think about those girls who died as a result of my careless actions. I should have stayed away from them. They were unaware of my curse; it was me, who heard Zamorra curse me while I was clutching my brother and sister and fleeing for our lives.

I squeezed my fists, pushed thoughts of being cursed out of my mind, and refused to admit I was weak. It's been so long since I buried all of my feelings deep inside resulting in Kai Parker, a renowned vulture in the corporate world and heartless in any girl’s world.

I engulfed myself in my work and while I was in the middle of speaking with one of my clients in Argentina I began hearing shouting. I knew who it was, so I made excuses and hung up the phone. The door to my office swung open wide and my eyes met Rita's golden eyes as she struggled to come out, but Rita had strong control over her wolf. I could have ripped her wolf limb by limb and thrown her out of my office easily; however, then there would be no coming back, but then there would be an investigation and other hassles to deal with. One thing I've learned from Earth's supernaturals is to hide as much from humans as possible. I pressed the hidden button under my table which I had specifically installed to call Alex. I stood up and tried to stall Rita until Alex arrived, “Come on, you are better than this.”

Rita snorted. “You have no right to discard me like that.”

I am not discarding you, silly wolf girl, I am saving your life.

I raised my hands like I had no intention to do any harm. “Rita, you need to understand that we were fuck partners and that's it, I have been crystal clear since the day we met.”

Once again she was trying to circle her arms around my neck and it boiled my blood. I held them and let her talk, “But I thought you started liking me?”

I nodded, “That’s exactly the reason we should be apart. I don't like you, I only like to fuck you.”

Rita's advances were making me freak out, and I was about to lose my shit. Alex barged into my office after what felt like a lifetime. He charged over to Rita; Alex was a powerful former deadly MMA fighter, though human, who understands how to dominate a strong opponent. Alex grabbed her and took her out of my office. I walked over to my bar and poured myself another whiskey. My gaze fell on the clock in my office, and I almost spilled whiskey all over the place. I slammed my glass on the table and stormed out of the office. I overheard Rachel as I stormed past, "Mr. Parker, you’re supposed to interview a girl for the job..."

I didn't turn around and yelled, "Reschedule it."

Damn, Rita! Because of you, I forgot to tell Rachel to reschedule the interview, and now you've made me late. I rushed into the elevator and dashed out as soon as it reached the ground floor, bumping into a girl. Her hazel eyes and pine scent took me to another realm, and I hated it. I can’t afford any distractions right now. I pushed her away, but she didn't budge. I looked her up and down; she was petite and curvy, and her hair was sun-kissed, long, and wavy hair. Why couldn't I stop looking at her? And why the hell is the foyer so bright today?

She noticed me staring at her, so I began shouting at her to cover up my drooling. "How dare you stand in front of my elevator! Don't you know it's specifically for Kai Parker? It's not for anybody else."

She opened her mouth, but I pointed my finger at her, "Don't answer me. Keep your damn mouth shut."

She looked perplexed. Damn, I couldn't read her mind; it felt like she was blocking the doorway. Her presence genuinely gave me the chills. I am not sure what was causing my frustration. Rita? Being late getting to my mansion's basement? Or this girl?

My phone began ringing. I cut off eye contact and looked at my screen. I turned around and picked up, but Eli spoke up first, "Where the hell are you?"

"Yeah, I am on my way."

Eli yelled, "Don't you know there’s a full moon tonight?"

I opened my car door and shouted, "How could I forget Eli? I am the one that is cursed, not you." I threw my phone inside and climbed in; I didn't have time to wait for Alex. I started the engine and drove toward my mansion.

As soon as I arrived, I rushed to my basement as fast as possible where Eli was already sitting waiting for me. My basement is twice the size of a grand ballroom and its height is extraordinary. I immediately started to restrain myself in hefty shackles as Eli helped me. There were only a few minutes left before the full moon. My curse started to take over but Eli was standing next to me. I roared, “Get your ass outta here before I eat you!”

Eli smirked, “Your wolf won’t harm me, brother.”

Pain coursed through my body and Eli tied my last shackle. “Shut the fuck up…”

Eli ran and I bent to my knees, my bones cracked, and my muscles stretched under my skin. My fingers became claws, and my teeth transformed into fangs. My basement echoed with a guttural howl part human and part wolf.

My body continued to grow, getting taller and taller until I reached a staggering height. I had transformed into a fierce wolf as tall as a coconut tree.

My wolf raised his head and howled, assuring Eli that he was capable of eating him. All night, my monstrous wolf struggled to break from the restraints until he bled. It is my curse to transform into a demonic wolf every full moon. There is only one way to break this curse: to fall in love. However, Zamorra tricked me twice by telling me that every girl even if I started liking her would die.

I woke up lying naked on the floor. I tried to sit up, but every movement made my wounds bleed and I cried out. Eli arrived and began to unfasten the shackles, giving me a long tunic to wear. "I heard your wolf loud and clear last night."

I was in pain, but nothing could keep me from taunting my brother, "Now you understand his capability?"

Eli nodded. "Loud and clear." He continued, "But how could you be so careless, Kai?"

I looked at him, "You think I'm careless? I am the one who runs this massive chain of businesses, I am the one who built this empire, I am the one who is still looking for a way to return to our home, and I am the one who still refers to Eldaria as home, despite this bizarre Earth."

Eli folded his arms across his chest, "And you think I don't miss our home?"

I shrugged my shoulders, "It doesn't look like you miss Eldaria, you miss Mom and Dad, you miss our forest, you miss our little sister, Aria."

Eli sighed and lowered his head, "I genuinely want to know what the hell is in this part of your head because I don't know how you run the damn business when you fail to notice where I spend my days and nights."

Eli and I were always fighting, taunting, and making fun of each other, and this was the only thing that had remained consistent over time. "Anna is pregnant so it's pretty clear."

Eli shook his head. "Kai you are already bruised and battered and even then you provoke me."

I smirked. "I just answered the damn question you asked."

Eli clenched his jaw, "I spent most of my time in a library reading books to learn more about our world and other worlds related to Eldaria. I read about transporting portals or any gateway that will take us to Eldaria."

I asked quietly, "Did you find anything in all those years?"

Eli kicked the shackles, "How could I find anything when a portal to other worlds is still a myth to half of the human race?"

I waved my hand in dismissal, “Then get the fuck outta my basement before I punch you and Anna won’t recognize your face.”

Eli walked over to me until we were face-to-face, “Make me.”

I opened my mouth to rebuttal, but Anna’s voice echoed in the basement. “Stop it you two, and get your asses up here or I'll shift and devour you both! I'm starving and waiting for you."

She must have watched us on the camera Eli had installed because he was so curious to see the demon in my wolf. Although our beast’s normal height is equal to coconut trees on Earth I know why he installed them and is still adamant about keeping it in place. Every full moon he sits in front of the screen. He cares for me though he never shows it and I do the same.

“I think we should go now,” Eli said.

We both nodded and rushed upstairs. Anna and Alex were already seated at the dining table. Anna looked at us with daggers in her eyes, “Seriously, when will you both grow up?”

We pointed at each other and started to blame each other, “He started it.”

Alex chuckled while eating, Anna looked at him and he raised his hands in surrender before resuming eating. We also sat and started eating. After breakfast, I rushed to my room to clean myself. After every full moon, it’s still difficult for me to hide my bruises and wounds. My phone buzzed, it was Rachel.

“I need you to finalize this girl as today is my last day and I want to hand over my tasks so you won’t have any trouble after me.”

I sighed and typed, “When is the interview?”

Rachel replied instantly, “In an hour.”

I typed, “I will be there,” and tossed my phone on my bed and went to shower.

One hour later I was sitting in my office and Rachel called me on my extension, “Her name is Valeria Davis and she is coming right in.”

“I told you, I trust your skills so there was absolutely no need to arrange this interview.” As soon as I put the phone down, there was a knock at my office, and I answered it. "Yeah, come in."

When the door opened, I saw light and stars started to emanate from everywhere. The girl walked right into my office; it was the same curvy petite girl I had yelled at the day before.
