My Cursed Mate

The sudden ringing of his phone broke him out from his reverie. He picked it up and saw that it was brother. A frown was etched on his face after seeing the caller’s name. His brother never called him first and if he called it was usually something about the pack. He declined the call and closed his eyes instead.

** “Brother.” He whispered through his mind.

They never talked about pack matters through the phone and it was safer to use their mind link. He waited for a few seconds before he heard his brother’s voice through the mind link.

** “They’re on the move and their destination is Zaithan.”

Vega opened his eyes and grimaced. He already knew who his brother was talking about. They had been following this group for a while now but they found no traces of them. They appear and disappear without traces.

** “Did you find out their reason for coming to Zaithan?” Vega’s whole body was tense as he waited for his brother’s answer.

** “Kazandra Hernandez.”

Vega’s whole body stiffened. His fists clenched. His eyes started to shift from black to gold. The air around him changed. The glass table behind him broke and even the window cracked at the pressure he was exuding.

** Megrez noticed the changes in his brother’s state of mind. “Calm down.” His voice was particularly loud and mixed with his wolf’s growl.

The authority behind his word forced Vega’s wolf back. They were both Alpha’s but because Megrez was the highest authority in Cerulean, he still held a lot of influence over his brother and sister. He can’t have Vega going off now because they had a mission to stop and eradicate that group.

** Vega managed to calm down. He got his breathing back to normal and was ready to listen to his brother. “Give me more details.”

** “The person they will be sending is ‘GRIM’. That’s all the information I got. The person I sent to spy on them died after he gave me the information. I just want to give you a heads-up.” Megrez sighed. He wanted to know more but it was really difficult to get any information from that organization. “I’m afraid they deliberately leaked that information because this is the first time that one of our spies could get such details from them.”

** “They must have known that I am here.” Vega reached out towards the cracks on the window and carefully touched it.

** “There must be a reason why they let us know that they are going after Kazandra. They must be after something so I want you to be careful. I will also send some of our warriors there as soon as I can to help you and Evos.” Megrez was worried. Their enemy was in the dark while they were exposed to them. Their purpose was also beyond their understanding which made it more difficult to track them down.

** “I will. I’ll contact you soon.” Vega pressed at the crack and the glass gave up. He watched as the fallen fragments fell to the floor.

He won’t let them do whatever they want and no matter what their real purpose was, he won’t let them hurt Kazandra. It was a good thing that he took her up on her offer and stayed at her house. He also needed to know why they were suddenly targeting her.

They’ve been silent for a couple of years now and then they were suddenly making a move. His eyes narrowed. It was too much of a coincidence that when he met Kazandra, the organization suddenly showed themselves. It was suspicious but with no way of confirming their real purpose, all he could do was to protect Kazandra and face them head on.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Kazandra was busy with all the documents in her office in Vignier when Anathos entered with a grim face. He looked so serious that it could scare anyone who would see him. They might even think that he belonged to a gang.

“Grim is on the move.”

That one sentence made Kazandra stop. She stopped reading and almost crumpled the document that she was holding. “Where is he headed?”

“Here,” he promptly answered. “I’ve already informed the guardians to guard against him and be our eyes around the city.”

“Contact more guardians and assign them around Empire and around my house. If Grim is on the move, then Velos must have predicted something, something related to me.” Kazandra stood up and walked around the table to where Anathos was standing. “Keep me posted once he enters the city.”

Anathos brought out his phone and contacted all the people that he needed to contact before going out with Kazandra. He will now act as her driver, especially because of the enemy. They couldn’t afford to be careless or else something more disastrous might happen.

“Let’s go and see Vega.” Before she found Vega, even with the appearance of the people from that organization, she wouldn’t be anxious but now that she found him, it was worrying.

Just as they parked outside of Empire, Vega was also on his way out. He intended to have a walk around the city but encountered Kazandra. The woman opened the window of the car and called out to him.

Vega couldn’t look away that he gave in and walked towards them. With his sensitive smell, he could already tell that Kazandra was with a driver. Kazandra opened the door and gestured for him to come in.

Without hesitation, the man entered and they sat down together. “Where do you want to eat dinner? I’ll pay.” Kazandra offered.

Vega shrugged his shoulders. “I am not familiar with Zaithan.”

“Then I will take you to my favorite restaurant.” Kazandra decided and instructed the driver.

It took them only a few minutes to reach the restaurant that Kazandra was talking about. Vega shook his head when they arrived at Empire Restaurant which was only minutes away from the headquarters. They were personally received by the staff and were led to a private dining room.

Before going there, Kazandra already ordered beforehand. Their appetizer was served after a few minutes together with the wine that she personally chose. Vega had no complaints since it was already on his plan to visit Empire’s restaurant.

They enjoyed the full meal course prepared for them despite the lack of conversation from the both of them. What they only did was to compliment and comment on the food. After finishing all the food and savoring the wine they left the restaurant.
