My Cursed Mate

Megrez couldn’t help but moan when the woman’s fangs sank into his skin and yet she wasn’t close enough. He wrapped his hands around her waist and pulled her closer to him. He wanted to feel her. Even his wolf was on the verge of going insane to the point that Megrez’s canines elongated. The urge to bite became unbearable.

Sensing his intention, Ingrid bit harder and deeper which stopped him from thinking any further. He relished on the pleasure that the woman was giving him. Lost in ecstasy, Megrez did not even notice when Ingrid retracted her fangs and wiped the blood on his neck with her tongue.

The woman tiptoed, “Take that for now or you take nothing at all.” She then placed both of her hands on the man’s chest and pushed him, hard.

A vampire’s strength was comparable to that of a werewolf which allowed her to effortlessly shove the man aside. Megrez snapped out of his trance when he felt the woman’s body leave his grasp. He gave her a glance before shaking his head in disbelief followed by sighed of defeat.

The effect was instantaneous. His wolf calmed down, and the influence of the mate bond subsided. It must have one of the effects of a vampire’s bite but he was not sure but that. Regardless of what happened, now that he was clear-headed, he was prepared to have a conversation.

“Are you awake now?” Ingrid’s fangs retracted as she flashed the man a smile. She casually moved to sit down on a nearby couch, awaiting his response.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

“Yes.” He nodded at the woman, grateful for the effects of her bite. Walking to the door, he opened it and called for the others to enter as if nothing had happened moments ago. Choosing not to dwell on what happened, he decided to prioritize and address the current matter at hand.

Evos, Kazandra and Anathos who chose to stay at the lobby entered the room and casually took their seats. The room was not in a mess as opposed to what they expected, which was good.

Megrez could finally have a good look at his guests now that he has calmed down. Aside from his mate, who naturally captured his interest, the other woman came as a surprise. She was obviously human but she did not flinch at his presence. But what really got him was the inexplicable negative aura coming from her.

“Let me introduce them to you Alpha,” Evos started as he pointed at Ingrid first, “she is Ms. Ingrid Lowein and,” he then pointed at the woman beside him, “she is Ms. Kazandra Hernandez and the gentleman behind me is Anathos Garcia.”

“I am Alpha Megrez Ishmael.” Introducing himself, he reached out his hand towards Kazandra which the woman took. “I understand that you are here because of my brother but before we move on, I would like to know what’s your relationship with him?”

Megrez did not remove his gaze from Kazandra as he asked that question. With his attention on her, she instantly knew that the man probably knew or heard something about her. Since it has come to this, it was better for her to come clean.

“I am Vega’s mate,” was his simple answer which earned him a raised brow from Megrez.

“My brother doesn’t have a mate. He may have but he had no way of knowing who would it be.” Megrez became serious, “You may claim to be his mate but if there’s no proof pleas refrain from calling yourself his mate. I appreciate your concern for coming all the way here for his sake, so I will give you the benefit of the doubt.”

Kazandra was struck with lightning at those words. The unfriendly gaze from the man made her uncomfortable. He was Vega’s brother and as much as possible, she did not want to have any conflicts with him but she couldn’t possibly let herself stay silent.

“What made you come all the way here that a phone call could have solved?” Megrez leaned back.

“Hey! Are you avoiding the topic? Wasn’t that too harsh! How could you say that to my friend?” Ingrid interrupted.

“I’m just stating facts,” Megrez shrugged his shoulders, “and aren’t we here because of my brother, so let’s just focus on that.”

Ingrid wanted to speak more but Kazandra stopped her from doing so. He was right, they were there because of Vega. Other matters can wait until they find him. The tension inside the room was high but they had to bear with it and Kazandra needed to be civil to be on the Alpha’s good side.

“I understand. We are here because we wanted to ask your Saint for help. The person who got Vega was a spell caster and we couldn’t find any traces of him or Vega. To find them we need another spell caster or someone with similar abilities to them.” Kazandra briefly explained the reason why they rushed to Cerulean.

“I already made the call. He’s not part of the pack but he’s been a good friend of Cerulean. He’s a spell caster and he will be here any minute now. Although the Saint would gladly help, it is not within her power.”

Megrez knew that dealing with spell casters would need another spell caster and lucky for them because Cerulean was affiliated with a spell caster. They were rare and doesn’t socialize with others but this particular man had been with the pack ever since his father was the Alpha and he was particularly fond of Vega.

“Is he really coming?” Evos was surprised.

“You know how fond he is with Vega,” Megrez nodded, “he’s been away for years now and I even thought that he’s dead but he answered my call.”

“This pack knew a spell caster! Why didn’t you say so?” Ingrid’s brows were furrowed as she glared at Evos.

“You can’t blame him. The only way to contact him is through me and I myself weren’t even sure if he would answer because he’s been gone for so many years.” Megrez cut in to explain the situation. “In any case, let’s just wait for him.”

Kazandra had been silent throughout the conversation. She was now realizing that Cerulean was indeed a powerful pack. Their connection was not a joke. Megrez did not start any conversation and silently waited. The others also did not say anything.

A minute passed when a crackling noise filled the room. The air tightened and a distortion in the space that resembled a vortex slowly appeared and expanded. Not long after a man appeared in place of the vortex. He was in all black and when his and Kazandra’s eyes met, she froze.
