My Cursed Mate

They both slept through the night without getting disturbed until the morning. Kazandra furrowed her brows and slowly opened her eyes. She was met by a broad chest and when she looked up, Vega’s sleeping face greeted her. A smile appeared on her face and by instinct her hand gently touched his face, from his brows to his nose to his cheeks and finally his lips.

“If you keep doing that, I might not be able to control myself.” Vega mumbled with his eyes still closed. He was woken up by the light touches that the woman gave him.

“I don’t mind you losing control though…” Kazandra whispered with her breath gently caressed his face.

Vega opened his eyes revealing his golden eyes. The color of his eyes was alternating from black to gold and it only mesmerized the woman. She did not stop from touching his cheeks and she even became more daring by caressing his neck.

“Kazandra…” It was supposed to be a growl but it came out close to a moan. Vega caught the woman’s naughty hand. “I told you to stop.”

“I don’t want to stop.” With her strength back, she flipped Vega to his back and straddled him.

She did not waste time and leaned forward to capture the man’s lips. Vega’s hand was already on her waist as he responded to the passionate kiss. Their tongues were entwined together as they battled for dominance. Vega raised his body and tightened his grip on the woman’s waist drawing her even more closer to him.

Kazandra’s hands were locked behind his neck with her relentless kisses. She did not stop there and continued to kiss him down to his neck. Vega tilted his head back to give the woman more access to his neck and this only fueled Kazandra’s desire. She started sucking on his skin until it bruised and this only brought pleasure to Vega.

After letting Kazandra take the lead for a minute, Vega flipped her over. Now he was on top of her and he leaned down to give the woman another deep kiss. Their lips continued to tangle. Vega’s mouth went down to her neck as he gave her a lick before imitating her actions a while ago. This action elicited sweet moans from the woman which only urged him to continue what he was doing. His golden eyes flickered and his teeth slightly transformed into its wolf form.

He badly wanted to bite and mark her but he managed to pull back. It was not the right time to bite her. There was still a part of him that needed an explanation. Vega couldn’t mark her especially because he was being indecisive and there were matters between them that needed to be cleared.

“I want to make you mine but I can’t right now.” He stopped giving her kisses and instead held her tightly. He pulled her to his embrace as he laid back down on the bed.

“I’ll tell you everything.” Kazandra also held him tight with her arms on his waist. “I won’t keep it a secret any longer.”

Vega touched her head and gently stroked her hair. He slightly leaned down and gave her head a kiss. He was ready to listen and so was his wolf. Once he knew the story behind her, he would be able to make a decision.

“I was a werewolf. The strongest werewolf during that time. I was Luna Sangria of the Crimson Eclipse Pack.” This revelation made Vega look at the woman.

He met her eyes and saw that she was not lying. Her eyes were serious and she did not avert her gaze from him. Crimson Eclipse Pack was a familiar name to him. According to the history records he had read, that pack was a legend because of how strong it was. They fought and won a war against a group called the ORDER that wished to dominate the world of the supernatural.

“Because of a sin I committed that angered the Moon Goddess, I was cursed. I was cursed to walk this world in eternity without dying. Do you know how I found out that I was cursed?” She looked him straight in the eyes. “That’s when I died and was reborn into the body of a human.”

She felt him hug her tightly. It gave her comfort to know that he was there to listen and be with her as she remembered what happened in the past. She was glad that he was willing to listen.

“I died in a way that many would call a painful death. My body was torn into pieces. I lost my pack. I lost my wolf. I lost everyone who believed and cared for me. I can still remember it to this day. The face of the person who did it all.” At that moment, her voice broke.

Vega patted her back. He knew that consoling her silently was more appropriate than butting in and giving unnecessary comments. Just hearing the beginning of her story was already enough to break his heart.

Kazandra managed to pull herself together and continue with her story. “I’ve already mentioned Regulus right.”

She felt the arms around her and the body close to her tense up at the mention of that name. She couldn’t help herself from smiling. To comfort the man, she tilted her head up and gave him a peck on the lips.

“You are Regulus. You don’t need to be so tense whenever I am talking about him.” Kazandra patted his chest to assure him.

“How can you be so sure that I am that man?” Vega had a frown despite all the things that Kazandra did to ease him.

“Because you look exactly like him. No one in this world will ever look like him unless he is that person.” Kazandra has no doubts about her answer. “When I first saw your face from just a picture, the attraction was instant and it just became unbearable when I finally met you in person. All I wanted to do was to embrace you.”

“I can understand that feeling because the moment I saw you, I admit that I was attracted even though I am not sure why.” He stroked her hair as he reminisced the first time he met her. She came with so much presence that she caught everyone’s attention. Her aura was beyond what he had seen so far but then this happy moment was broken. “I am not even sure if you are my mate. You do not have a scent and even right now that I am holding you, I can’t feel the sparks.”

Kazandra held back the tears at those words. “This must be because of the curse.”NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

It was the only explanation and possibility right now that the both of them could think of. The Moon Goddess’s curse must have been something more and not only her living as an immortal. There must be a catch too.

“If I was not so full of myself at that time, Regulus would have lived and I wouldn’t be under this curse. I am to blame.” She lamented.

The guilty feeling came crashing down but she needed to hold it down if she wanted to tell him all that needed to be told. Vega did not reply and waited for her to continue. The sun was already high in the sky with the both of them still lying on the bed.

“Regulus died at the hands of the ORDER.”
