My Cursed Mate

Anathos drove the car to where they were and they quickly rode with Vega. After they were already in, he then drove at the fastest speed the car could manage. Injurious watched all of this from the top of the abandoned factory with a grin.

“You let them escape, what will you tell him?” Grim appeared from the shadows and floated beside the man.

“They’re an interesting bunch,” Injurious commented instead of answering Grim’s question. “Don’t worry I’ll take care of it, besides Regulus won’t be able to escape me, unless they can find a way to remove my black snake.”

“I didn’t expect them to really find a spell caster to go against you.” Grim looked at the direction where they disappeared to.

“He’s not an ordinary spell caster. I admit that he is powerful but he is not a natural. He must have made a deal to someone in exchange for that power.”

Injurious felt it during their clash, that his power was only a borrowed one. He had no idea who was crazy enough to let him borrow that kind of power but he was sure that to have that kind of power, he must have paid something for it.

Evos drove straight to Kazandra’s home where Ravina was already waiting for them. Evos alighted first with Vega on his arms as they rushed inside the house. They went straight to the second floor and to the room he was using. He laid the man on the bed and Reiga immediately moved to examine Vega’s body.

Reiga stretched his hand above Vega’s body and closed his eyes while chanting a spell. The same red mark that transported them out of that factory appeared above the unconscious man. Red light slowly poured out from the mark and bathed Vega.

This process took almost thirty minutes before the red light disappeared. Kazandra waited in trepidation at the result of Reiga’s examination. Every minute that passed by felt like eternity for her and when he was done, it felt like a torn was pulled out from her heart. She was heavily sweating with her fists clenched as he watched the whole process.

Reiga was frowning. “That man planted a curse on him in the form of a black snake. This is the reason why his wounds are not healing.”

Kazandra’s heart dropped when she heard what he said. A curse, another curse, a loathsome word that she did not want to hear again and yet here it was being mentioned in her very presence. Worried for Vega, she stepped closer and held his hand.

“Is there a way to remove the curse from him?” Kazandra asked Reiga with her eyes focused on Vega’s sleeping face.

“We need someone who can use the power of the moon to remove the black snake,” he answered.

Kazandra raised her head, “Power of the moon? It has been a long time ever since a werewolf had that kind of power. I haven’t heard of anyone in this era who could use that power.”

“We need to wait for him to wake up.” Reiga looked at her without actually answering her question then he looked at Evos.

Evos nodded. This action arose Kazandra’s curiosity but she refrained from asking any questions. She did not want to start another round of talking without getting an actual answer from them. Instead of focusing on them, she put her heart and mind in taking care of Vega. She cleaned and applied medicine on the man’s wound before bandaging it.

Kazandra did not leave the room after they treated Vega. She wanted Vega to see her first when he wakes up. She was sitting down on a chair placed beside the bed and watched the man as he slept. While looking at him, she realized that not once did she look at Regulus. She was so busy with so many things that she did not even have the time to just sit down and look at him or talk to him. She missed out on many moments with her mate when he was still beside her.

This game of waiting made her anxious and unable to sleep. Vega hasn’t shown any signs of waking up either. She didn’t know how many hours had already passed but the sun was already rising from the horizon before she knew it. And at the first ray of light that warmed the room, Vega slowly opened his eyes.

Vega woke up to a familiar room and to a familiar scent. All he could remember from what happened yesterday was that he was knocked out after Injurious informed him that someone was coming to save him. He wanted to move but a sharp pain from his head made him groan.

“You’re finally awake, where does it hurt?” Kazandra’s voice carried gentleness that she never uses outside. She was already standing and holding his shoulder while inspecting the bandage on his head.

“Just a bit of a headache,” he answered.

Kazandra placed her hand on the man’s forehead and gently massaged it to help alleviate the pain. Vega was a bit surprised at the woman’s actions and could only look at her in silence. She continued and only stopped when they both heard a crisp knock on the door.

Kazandra returned to her seat and allowed the person to enter. Reiga walked in with a straight face which visibly softened when he saw that Vega was already awake.

“It’s nice to see you awake,” he greeted with a smile.

“Reiga!” Vega exclaimed. He did not expect to see the man after so many years. “Are you back?”

Reiga smiled. “Only because I heard what happened to you. Getting yourself kidnapped when you are a werewolf, has your senses dulled ever since you left Cerulean to become a businessman instead?”Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

Vega laughed and shook his head. “Things happen.”

Reiga narrowed his eyes. “Tell me what happened. You are one of the strongest alpha wolves I have met, only next to your brother and yet you got kidnapped, that is so unlike you. So, there must be a reason. And, you even got cursed.”

Vega looked at Kazandra then at Reiga. At this simple gesture, Reiga was already displeased. A few days before, Kazandra was attacked in her home and if his guess was correct, it was the only reason why they managed to curse him.

Reiga sighed. “The curse is in the form of a black snake and it is nestled in your core preventing your wolf from healing you. Deal with it and fast.”

Kazandra was confused at their conversation. She also did not understand why Vega gave her that apologetic look. All she could do was watch the both of them talk in a cryptic manner.

“I will. Thank you for telling me the curse’s form.” Vega nodded his head before shifting his attention to Kazandra. “Can you please wait outside?”
