My Cursed Mate

If he came even later, the woman might have already lost her life. His fingers tightly entwined at the thought that he almost lost her. If not for the fact that he suddenly couldn’t contact the wolves that were stationed around the property, he wouldn’t know that something was wrong. He closed his eyes and used the mind link to contact his brother.

** “Brother, they are all dead.” It was unfortunate but he couldn’t do anything to save them. “It was Grim. I didn’t expect that he would move.”

** “Explain what happened.” Megrez already received a brief report from Evos but he still wanted to hear it from his own brother.

** “I’ll explain it to you once I have a clear picture of what’s happening. I already have an initial idea but I need to be sure. Just know that for the next few days, I will be hunting down Grim.” Vega can’t let that man do whatever he likes. It’s time for them to take the lead.

** “I’ll send more people your way then.” He needed to trust his brother for now. It was actually good that his brother was making his move because he was a bit tied up with the matters of the pack.

** “I understand.” Vega opened his eyes. His gaze lingered on the woman who was now peacefully sleeping on his bed.

He woke up late that day and did his daily routine including checking up on any updates from the wolves stationed around Kazandra’s property. When he couldn’t contact them, he immediately called Evos. He tried several times but he did not receive any replies from his comrades so he rushed to the property.

The house was trashed and there were signs of a fight. With his senses, he tried to see if there were people inside the house but there was none. In a fit of frustration, he shifted into his wolf form and started to sniff the air.

The strong scent of blood assaulted him and he followed the direction where it came from only to see the scene where Kazandra was stabbed from the back. His anger surged as he leapt forward and attacked. He almost went crazy when he saw Kazandra’s condition. He stayed beside Kazandra and that’s how Evos and Anathos found him.

“How is she?” Anathos was the first one to ask him. He gave the madam a glance before focusing on the sitting man.

“She’s fine. You don’t need to worry.” Vega answered without giving him a look. His eyes still lingered on Kazandra’s sleeping form.

“You are a werewolf.” It was not a question but a statement.

Vega raised his head and looked him in the eye, “Yes.”

“Does the madam know?”

Vega nodded. “How long have you been with her?”

“Ever since I can remember.” Anathos did not avert his gaze.

“What do you mean?” Vega’s eyes narrowed.

Anathos remained silent. He then turned around instead of giving him an answer and left the room. Vega sighed and leaned back on the chair. He did not have the energy to go and demand an answer from him. It was better to know everything from Kazandra herself.

“We’ve already taken care of the bodies. With the Alpha’s permission, I will be transporting them back to Cerulean.” Evos reported after Anathos left.NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

Vega nodded. Evos also left the room after his report to give them space. He could tell that Vega was tired and needed rest. He himself needed to rest but with the current situation, he didn’t know if he could have that.

Kazandra slowly opened her eyes and a familiar ceiling greeted her. It was not her room but he knew that it was a room inside her house. She closed her eyes to assess her body but all she felt was minimal pain. She thought that she would die.

She slowly pushed herself up and looked around the room until her eyes saw Vega. He had his eyes closed and Kazandra blinked a couple of times because she thought that she must be dreaming. She slowly alighted from the bed and walked as quietly as she could towards the man.

The desire to touch him almost overcame her but she held back and so did the hand that was about to touch his face. She became afraid because the man might hate her even more. She drew back and decided to return to the bed.

Vega felt her familiar presence and her familiar scent. By instinct, he raised his hand and caught the woman’s retracting hand. He then pulled her towards him and caught her waist with his other hand.

Kazandra yelped at the sudden action as she sat on the man’s lap. She snapped her head towards the man’s face and saw his intense gaze. It also surprised her to see his golden eyes staring intently at her. Her heartbeat quickened as she slowly raised her hand and gently touched his face.

“You almost died.” Vega whispered as he caught the hand on his cheek and gently rubbed it. “I’m sorry for leaving you.”

Kazandra shook her head. She then lifted her other hand and held his face. “It was my fault. I should have told you everything from the start.”

She looked vulnerable at that moment and Vega couldn’t help but soften at the woman’s touch. He wanted to know everything but at that moment it was not his priority. He did not ask her. He just pulled her closer, enclosing her in a tight and warm embrace. He didn’t know where all this gentleness was coming from. It was as if it was ingrained within him.

With the rhythmic patting on her back, Kazandra felt drowsy and eventually fell asleep in his arms. It was warm and safe. She felt secure within his arms that she did not want to let go. She won’t let him go again were her last thoughts before she gave in to sleep.

Vega felt her even breathing and after a while, he stood up with the woman. He intended to lay the woman back on the bed but she wouldn’t let go of his shirt. He tried to gently pry the hand but Kazandra’s other hand got ahold of his arm. With no other options, he decided to lay down beside the woman.

Once he was beside her, Kazandra instinctively got closer and placed her hand on his chest. She kept getting closer and Vega used his arms to keep her close. She comfortably nestled in his embrace and Vega also felt himself getting comfortable until he eventually fell asleep.
