My Cursed Mate

That same day, they were already seated in Kazandra’s private jet that would take them to Zaithan. It only took them two hours to reach Zaithan and a car was already waiting for them. Still in shock of how everything passed, Evos finally got his bearings and volunteered to drive.

An hour later, they were finally out of the buzzing city of Zaithan and were entering an off-road way. It was an inconspicuous road that only the pack members used. There was also a large warning sign that warns those who try to enter the forest.

Since the place where they were was basically a forest from both sides of the road, the fog and the gloomy weather gave it an eerie feeling. Their path was obscured with thick fog but Evos continued to drive through the bumps of the rocky road. The thick and wide boughs from the trees almost made it impossible for sunlight to penetrate and give light to their path.

It took them roughly two hours to finally reach their destination. They came to an open field where the road ends when Evos told them to get out of the car. They’ve only reached the outskirts of the territory and they needed to wait for someone to come and pick them up.

“If I didn’t know that this place is werewolf’s territory, I wouldn’t dare enter. This place is creepier than my Coven.” Ingrid commented while looking around.

The cold air around them did not contribute to the likeness of the place. It felt like one of those movie settings where a monster would appear and kill all the dumb characters. Kazandra on the other hand felt at home at the familiar view and feeling that the place was giving. It felt like she was back to Crimson.

“This is to deter any unwelcome guests, especially humans into accidentally crossing our territory. I’m sure that your Coven is located in a similar place as this.” Evos couldn’t help but gave a comment too.

“Well, you have a point there.” Ingrid shrugged her shoulders. “Still this place really feels different. There’s something really eerie in this place.”

Before any of them could speak, Evos raised his hand. They were already here. Not long after a black Jeep Wrangler arrived and stopped a few meters away from them. Evos took the lead with the others following behind. The driver of the car came out and looked at them warily before he gave Evos a warm smile.

“Take the car, I’ll run back.” The man tossed the key to Evos before he turned around and entered the dense forest.

Evos looked back to his companions and motioned for them to enter the car. They got in and let Evos drive. Kazandra, Anathos and Ingrid were silent from the beginning of their journey. The tense silence made the drive awkward and a bit uncomfortable.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

“Will we get a cold reception when we actually get there?” After a while, Ingrid finally asked. “That one who came with the car looked really unfriendly.”

“You should know that strangers aren’t that welcome in any pack or any coven.” Evos shook his head at the woman’s words. She was a vampire but she acted like she was a human.

“That’s because my coven would at least show a smile when we have visitors!” She retorted with her hands raised above her head and a furrowed forehead.

“Alright, alright, I understand. Members of Cerulean are generally friendly, just don’t get on their bad side,” Evos relented.

Not long after, they finally reached a town. It was not as packed as the other towns but it has everything they could need. Restaurants, clothing stores, grocery stores, barber shops and others. The town was complete.

Evos did not stop from driving until they arrived at a pretty secluded area just outside the town. They stopped in front of the pack house, which was essentially a mansion. A buff and tall man that was ragged around the edges was already waiting for them.

“Evos,” the man called out and it brought a smile to Evos’ face.

“Uncle Rick!” The man exclaimed before he went up to the man to give him a hug. “It’s nice to see you again.”

After that brief hug, they were ushered inside the house and to the second floor. Rick led them to a room where they usually let the guests wait. After they were settled in, food was served as they waited.

“The Alpha isn’t here yet but I’m sure that he already knows that you are here.” Rick directed his gaze to the other people who were with Evos.

Evos already introduced them to Rick and they’ve been talking for a while now. He had a good impression of them and was a bit surprised by their presence. He thought that the visitors Evos were talking about would be werewolves but it turned out to be a human, a vampire and another wolf.

“I was surprised that you would actually come in person. You just called early in the morning and now you are here.”

“It’s a bit urgent-” Evos paused and Rick understood.

“The Alpha will come and meet you once he returns, for now please wait for him.” Rick stood up and excused himself.

The fell silent after the man left but that silence did not last long. Loud footsteps sounded outside the door followed by the door getting pushed open with force that it hit the wall with a loud crash. A black-haired man with blazing golden eyes barged in with his gaze solely focused on Ingrid.

“You’ve got to be kidding me!” She exclaimed when she saw the man. She glared which made the man growl. “Stay where you are right now and don’t come near me,” she hissed.

“You are playing with fire, babe…” Megrez smirked which only irritated Ingrid even more.

“Don’t test me.” Ingrid’s fangs came out and her eyes turned red at the challenge. She was a thousand-year-old vampire and she won’t back down, even if that person was her beloved.

Kazandra and Evos understood the situation and as much as they wanted to talk to the Alpha, it was more important for the two of them to calm down first and the only way to do that was to let the two of them talk. With tacit understanding, the three extra people in the room left while the Alpha and Ingrid were having a showdown.

Rick was also outside of the room with a grin on his face. Evos nodded and it only widened the man’s smile. “Let’s leave first then. I’ve already instructed the others to leave the vicinity and come back later.”
