My Cursed Mate

Ravina rode back with them and no matter how much she wanted to talk with Evos, she couldn’t because it was not the right place. She kept on glancing at his direction but the man remained numb to all of her stares. She didn’t know if the man couldn’t see her or he was deliberately ignoring her.

After the long drive, Vega reached Kazandra’s home. He carried her in his arms and brought her to her room. The room was in a similar layout to his. The only difference was the color scheme. He gently laid her on the bed.

From the list of warriors his brother sent, he remembered that there was a woman amongst them. Using the mind link, he called the woman. A knock came from the door followed by a woman with blonde hair that was tied in a high ponytail. She had forest green eyes and a smile on her face.

“She’s injured. Please take care of her.” He gave her one last look before he left.

The woman was also a medic so it was convenient to let her look after Kazandra. As for him, he needed to get himself together. He badly needed a run because after what happened, his wolf was about to go berserk.

Kazandra’s estate was suitable for a wolf like him. Vega did not even bother to remove his clothes before shifting into his massive wolf. A loud howl filled the entire state before he dashed away. His footsteps pounded through the ground. The sound of growls could be heard once in a while which caused the werewolves scattered in the vicinity to back away.

It took a lot longer as expected before Vega’s wolf could finally calm down. Just as he did in the past, he ended up at the lake. The water was calm contrary to his still turbulent emotion despite the calmness he achieved.

The wolf watched the ripples on the lake’s surface in silence when a presence appeared in the middle of it. Vega shifted back to his human form to face the man who was floating towards him. Vega couldn’t clearly see his face because the man was wearing a black fedora hat that covered his face.

The man landed without making a noise and the eerie feeling that he emits made Vega’s wolf wary. The man was shrouded in a black smoke that looked like it was part of him. The man walked up to Vega and it only became clear to him there was indeed a black smoke that was shrouding the mysterious man.

“Now that she found you, I have no doubts. You really looked like him.” The mysterious man’s voice was airy and carried a hypnotizing tone that almost made Vega black out.

Vega fought through the fog that was forming in his mind and forced his body to stay still. His werewolf also came out and finally dispel whatever wickedness the mysterious man has casted on him. While he was struggling, the man was finally in front of him. He was only a few centimeters away but the sky and his surroundings already turned black.

“Who are you?” Although he could already guess, he could also be wrong and dealing with this kind of enemy was not easy.

“Why ask when you already know who I am.” The airy but heavy voice answered.

“Grim.”Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

The mysterious man raised his head and a terrifying view appeared before Vega. Grim was faceless but he could strangely tell that he was grinning. “You are much more powerful now compared to that time. Strange, isn’t it?”

Vega remained silent. Even with the confusion raging in his mind, the man remained steadfast. He did not want to show any weakness to the enemy. “There’s nothing strange about that because I am a pure-blooded alpha.”

A high pitched laugh echoed in the lake. It reverberated and repeated for a few seconds before it finally stopped. “Yes, you are. You are a pure-blooded alpha now, someone even rarer than her.”

Vega’s wolf surfaced and let his presence be known to the man. The golden eyes stared at Grim and it glowed to dispel the lingering darkness around him. “Next time you come, bring your real body and not this ugly puppet.” The voice was deep, deeper than Vega’s normal voice but it carried power that could subject anyone to submission.

Another screeching laugh. “And you grew even scarier. How exhilarating.” Grim was laughing but Vega and his wolf couldn’t get the man’s strange rumor.

In the midst of their conversation a voice interrupted. Aggressive and unfriendly. “You haven’t changed at all. Still using this disgusting doll and still incompetent.”

The laughing stopped with the doll’s body turning around and facing the woman who was supposed to be lying in bed because of her injuries. Just as the doll moved to where Kazandra was standing, Vega was also running to stop him but the woman caught the doll by the neck.

“This time you will die. We will make sure that you will completely die!”

Vega could feel the hatred and anger from Grim’s voice. He could also feel that Kazandra’s own loathing directed at the man behind the doll. “You’ve already tried and yet I am still standing here. If you really want to kill me, come in person but I’ll make sure that before you can even lay a hand on me or on Vega, your remaining heart will turn to dust.”

This time an ear-piercing scream rung so close to them. The flapping from the startled birds could be heard from the distance as the screaming went on. Kazandra tightened her grip on the doll’s neck followed by a cracking noise. The dark smoke that was surrounding it dissipated until what she was holding became an ordinary wooden doll.

She let it fall on the ground and watched as it slowly broke and eventually turned into ashes. Silence followed as the two of them were the only ones remaining.

“Why don’t we go home and talk?” Kazandra broke the silence.

The threat has just passed and there were many things they should be clearing up with each other and yet her eyes couldn’t help but wander southwards. Vega’s well build body finally distracted as she did not notice it when she intervened a while ago. Now that she was clear headed, the temptation presented in front of her was making her dizzy again.

Vega shifted to his wolf and left first. He too had many questions that needed to be answered. Grim’s words already puzzled him and now Kazandra’s identity was added on top. What he wanted to know the most was the relationship between Grim and Kazandra.
