My Cursed Mate

Kazandra was staring at the endless line of woods beyond the pack house. It reminded her of Crimson, the vast plains where the pups would freely run with their parents and the dark forests that gave them the opportunity to hunt and train. And to think that Crimson has a connection with Cerulean somehow made her heart at ease.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

The night wind blew over her and let her hair float in the air. She closed her eyes and inhaled the scent of nature around her. The damp and earthy smell that the wind carried calmed her heart from the events that happened that day. They were bombarded with information on their first day in Cerulean and all she wanted to do was to relax.

“Aren’t you cold?” Vega appeared behind her and covered her with a blanket that he got from his room.

“I am,” she smiled as she pulled the blanket to cover her body, “but I was confident that you were coming.”

Vega squeezed her shoulders before he took the empty space beside her. She moved closer to him and the man did not hesitate to place his hand on her waist to pull her closer. Kazandra comfortably leaned her head on his shoulder with his hands casually placed around her back and holding her arm.

“How do you feel?” Vega asked after a short moment of silence between them.

With what happened upon their arrival, he could understand if she was tired because he himself was tired. The elders and the Saint on the same day was not something he had pictured upon his arrival to his pack. They were not even given the chance to breathe.

“Overwhelmed but overall, I feel okay.” Kazandra nuzzled her face on his shoulder.

“I apologize. This was not the plan. I don’t know how they all came at the same time,” Vega frowned.

“You don’t need to apologize. No one is to blame and I perfectly understand why they came. They are only concerned with the well-being of the pack even though the elders are going about it the extreme way and the Saint will naturally come because she knows that we are coming.” Kazandra shook her head and lifted it to look at Vega.

With both of her hands, she touched his cheeks and pulled the sides of his mouth into a smile. “You keep on frowning, aren’t you afraid that you’ll have wrinkles.” Her hands move to his forehead as she massaged his brows.

Vega sighed. He caught the woman’s hands and enclosed it with his. “The only good thing that happened today is that we were able to confirm that we are mates.”

For the first time in his life, he genuinely felt happy and satisfied. His wish of meeting his mate came true. There may be obstacles but he was still glad that the woman appeared in his life. The fact that he was a reincarnation did not bother him that much, now that Kazandra was in his arms.

“We will be able to break the curse.” Vega gave her a smile in hopes of reassuring her that everything would be fine.

Kazandra nodded and gave his hand a squeeze. Vega was right, they should celebrate because he was her mate and she could finally declare that he was hers. Her doubts were now cleared and her mind was at ease. She embraced the man and he returned it too. Both of them shared their warmth with each other and with the moon as their witness, Vega held the woman’s chin and lifted her face upward.

With a smile on his face, he leaned down and claimed her lips. She gladly let him in and Vega slid his tongue in her mouth in a passionate kiss. The kiss only lasted for seconds and yet it felt like eternity for the both of them. Vega rested his forehead on hers as they both caught their breath. A breathy laugh filled Kazandra’s ear followed by a rain of kisses on her face and one last kiss on her lips.

“It’s getting cold. Let’s go inside.” Vega held Kazandra’s cheek before pulling the blanket tightly around her.

Kazandra nodded as the both of them stood up and returned to the pack house. The living room was still lively with chatters and the clinking of glasses. After what happened earlier, Megrez decided to offer them all a drink and ordered one of the servants to bring out his collection of wine.

They walked in only to see the powerful alpha of Cerulean happily clinging to his mate like a child without minding his status. Ingrid could only frown at how childish Megrez was but she would still indulge him. Kazandra was glad to see a smile on her face, far from what she usually looked like in front of her coven and strangers.

Evos and Ravina were also glued to each other and she was happy that her friends finally found the men that will take care of them. They both sat down on the empty couch and before the both of them could even drink wine, Ascella was already by their side.

“I hate seeing everyone in pairs.” She snatched Kazandra’s hand and pulled her up. In her surprise, Kazandra stumbled forward and almost fell to the floor if not for Vega promptly catching her.

“My dear sister, you will soon find your mate. No need to pout and be jealous.” Vega rubbed his sister’s head after he stabilized Kazandra.

“I know. So, while I haven’t found mine, I’ll borrow yours in the meantime.” Ascella once again pulled Kazandra.

Vega wanted to stop his sister but his mate shook her head. He could only sigh and let them be. It was also a good chance for them to bond with each other since they were already a family. Vega returned to his seat and picked up the abandoned glass of wine a while ago.

After pulling Kazandra, Ascella went on to snatch his other brother’s mate while giving him a grin. They then pulled Ravina and left the living room. The remaining men could only look at each other and laugh at what just happened.

Ascella on the other hand led the three ladies to the pack house’s second floor and through the winding corridors until they reached a pretty secluded area. Ascella opened the door to a spacious room. There were only plants in the room with a wooden floor and a ceiling made of glass. The moon’s silver light gave the room a magical touch and it mesmerized the three of them.

“This room is beautiful.” Ravina couldn’t hold back her amazement as they entered and looked around.

“This is our silver space. No one is allowed here except me and my brothers. This is a place where we could relax when it becomes too stressful in life. Now that you guys have become a part of my family, this place will be your place too.”
