My Cursed Mate

The moon gave off a silver glow that illuminated their surroundings. Kazandra looked at the moon and enjoyed how bright it was that night. “Do you want to join me for a short walk?” Kazandra felt that it was a perfect time to be together.

Vega nodded and walked beside her. The sidewalk was wide enough for them and for the other people to walk. At the center of the sidewalk were trees surrounded by concrete that served as a barrier for the tree roots and also to serve as a rest area for those who were tired from walking. Some spaces in between the trees were wooden benches and there were lamps everywhere to give light to their path.

Kazandra hugged herself and closed her coat as the chilly breeze of the night wind blew through them. “Let’s take a seat and watch the moon.” Kazandra pointed at an empty bench and rushed towards it.

Vega followed behind and sat beside her leaving a little space in between them. He too looked up and admired the moon with Kazandra. The moon was brighter and it actually comforted Vega despite the bad news he received. He was also surprised to actually see stars in the middle of the city.

Kazandra was slightly swaying with her eyes fixed on the moon. Even in her past life, the moon no matter where she was or what she was going through, the moon would always give her peace of mind and relax her. She was enjoying the moment when her attention was caught by Vega’s serene visage.

She was enjoying the moon as she did from the past but it was extra special that night because Vega was with her. She couldn’t take her eyes from the man’s serene visage. A silver glow slowly exuded from the man’s body and a smile appeared on her face. The Luna was favoring her child. To receive a silver glow from Luna means that he had her protection.

It was a romantic night but the lingering threat from the shadows shattered the peace they had. Vega suddenly opened his eyes and stood up. His eyes were busy scanning their surroundings but he found nothing amiss. The bloodlust that was directed at them was potent and difficult to ignore.

“What’s the matter?” Kazandra pulled his hand to get his attention.

Vega stopped and looked at the worried woman. “Nothing, I thought I saw a colleague.” He shook his head but his senses were still on their surroundings.

Kazandra did not believe what he said because she felt it too, that strong bloodlust. If she felt it and she was human then she was sure that the intensity of it was higher to a werewolf’s senses.

“Let’s go home then. I already feel refreshed.” She suggested and from afar, Kazandra’s car came and stopped in front of them. They both got in since Vega couldn’t feel the dark presence any longer.

After the car disappeared, a silhouette that was leaning on the cold walls of an alley at the opposite side of the road and opposite where Kazandra and Vega were sitting straightened his stance. The man was wearing a long brown coat with a hat to cover his face and black gloves on his hand. He was smoking there while watching the lovebirds. He let the cigarette fall to the ground and stomped on it before he disappeared inside the dark alley.

Through the mind link, Vega contacted Evos and informed him of what his brother had told him and of what happened earlier. Evos got a general idea of the situation so he immediately made arrangements.

Zaithan City has one werewolf pack that they were in contact with. He did not wait for the next day to contact them. Once the call was connected, he told the Alpha of that pack that they needed assistance and the Alpha was willing to help them. According to the Alpha, he would send a couple of his men to assist them.

Evos immediately informed Vega of this. He remained seated on the balcony even after the call. Sleep eluded him even with his eyes closed and he chose to spend it outside with nature near him. The presence he felt earlier that night was etched in his memory. He did not understand why such strong bloodlust was directed towards them.

His eyes went to the room’s main door and stayed there for a while before he leaned back on his chair and focused on his hearing. His senses traveled through the distance of his room to the other room at the other side of the house. He tilted his head and it calmed him to hear Kazandra’s even breathing. She was peacefully sleeping and he wanted that to continue for the rest of her life.

Vega sighed. He was not even sure if she was his mate and yet he was already worried about her. When he heard that Grim’s target was Kazandra, he almost destroyed that office and lost control. Now he even wanted her to have a peaceful life. If that was not enough indication already then what is it? If he could find another way to prove that she was his mate then he wouldn’t hesitate to do it.

He still had his eyes closed when a breeze passed through his ears, whispering a word that he did not understand. He jumped out from his seat and looked around but he found no one. Another sigh left his mouth with his head bowed. Exhaustion slowly crept into his being and the bed seemed very inviting.

Vega shook the sleepiness but it did not disappear. He looked back at the bed and in a split second he was already lying down. A silvery-white shadow appeared on the balcony and it glided inside the room and stopped beside the bed.

The door to his room opened and Kazandra entered with her full attention on the shadow. “Was it you?” She whispered.

The shadow glided towards her and danced around her before it completely vanished into the darkness. Kazandra’s gaze found the man who was sleeping peacefully and her tears fell once again. She wiped them as soon as they fell, before she turned around and left.

It was all her fault and yet she was still given a chance to see him again. This time she won’t disappoint the Luna and protect Vega. She returned to her room with a tear-stained face but sleep eluded her. The memories that she desperately wanted to forget were coming back to her one-by-one and was shattering her heart once again.

Whenever she closed her eyes, those blood flashbacks would just haunt her down. It was terrible but she needed to endure if she wanted to make it up to the Luna. She needed to get through it if she wanted to be able to protect her beloved.Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.
