My Cursed Mate

Vega was busy with work and all the documents he needed to deal with. He needed to finish them quickly before he could go to Zaithan. He couldn’t even afford a rest because of the memories of that night. After he went home, he couldn’t get a wink of sleep and even his wolf was restless for the whole night.

He was lucky because if Kazandra did not stop that night, he might have lost all control and took her. She drove him crazy and maybe this time, he really needed to go back home and talk to his family about it. Vega couldn’t understand why he was reacting to Kazandra even though she was not his mate.

After thinking about it, he decided to return to Cerulean and talk to his brother about this. Evos agreed to this decision since the man had been distracted from work. They wanted to finish all the work but with Vega’s state, their progress was slow.

Vega drove for over two hours before he reached the borders of Cerulean. The vast forest refreshed him and instead of continuing with the drive, he decided to have a run. He stripped off all of his clothes and proudly stood there without a care in the world.

At his will, his body started to shift. Black furs started to sprout from his skin and his bones started to crack. His eyes turned gold with his hands and feet turning into paws with deadly claws. The process was instant and in the blink of an eye a black wolf was standing on the spot where Vega was.

It let out a howl before it sprinted forward. The black wolf was running through the forest at an impossible speed without bumping into any trees. He enjoyed the wind that was caressing his fur and the coldness of the ground that touches his paws.

Vega’s wolf hasn’t had a run for quite sometime now so he let him be as they ran around the forest. Even with the darkness of the night, the wolf ran until he was satisfied. He let out another howl before he finally ran towards the direction of the pack.

Cerulean was located on the west side of Xefton. It was a small town surrounded by an entire forest and secluded from the rest of the human society. Humans were allowed to stay in the town proper but beyond that, only werewolves could live. Vega was on his way to the pack’s main house where his family lives.

He was welcomed by his own brother who had a set of clothes already ready for him. Vega shifted into his human form and accepted the clothes before giving his brother a hug. They then entered the two-story house.

“When Evos called, I thought he was joking.” His brother ruffled and tightened the arm that was holding his brother’s neck.

“Have you ever seen Evos joke?” Vega was holding his brother’s arm until they reached the living room where coffee and pastries were already prepared for them.

Megrez Ishmael, the Alpha of Cerulean let go of his brother and sat down on the sofa. “No but it’s rare for you to be home without informing me days in advance.”

Vega sat down beside his brother and leaned back. “I would have done so but because I have to go to Zaithan, I decided to come and see you. I need to settle my mind before I travel.”

“What happened?” The smile on his brother’s face disappeared.

His younger brother fell silent for a while and it made Megrez a bit worried. “I think I found her.” After much contemplation, Vega finally said those words.

Megrez’s eyes widened and a grin appeared on his face. “That’s great!” He gave his brother’s shoulder a smack and was ready to celebrate but he too fell silent. “And what’s the problem with that? You finally found your mate, shouldn’t we celebrate?”

“I think I found her,” he repeated once again and Megrez already caught onto it.

“You aren’t sure,” Megrez continued the unspoken words from him.

“I’m extremely attracted to her but the problem is, I didn’t experience any of the signs. The scent, the electrifying feeling at first touch, none.” He finally said it. “What’s wrong with me?”

Megrez sighed. He knew that something was wrong with his brother and yet he never asked. He already suspected it ever since he turned eighteen. From the very beginning, a dead mate was far from impossible. Luna would never give her children this kind of fate.

“Why don’t you try it with her first and see where it goes?” Megrez advised as he was lost too.

Vega shook his head. “I’m not sure if I can do that. I have been waiting for my mate and if she turns out to be not her, then what will I do? My attraction towards her might just be a fleeting emotion.”

“What is your wolf’s take on this?” It was important that the human and wolf part of a werewolf agree with each other thus in most of their decisions, their wolves would be involved.

“He isn’t opposed to the idea but I am still worried.” He was completely torn. If Kazandra turned out to be not his mate, then he would only be hurting the woman.

“Tell me more about this attraction that you have for her.” Megrez wanted to know more about the situation if he wanted to help his brother.

“I can’t take my eyes off her and I feel comfortable and happy with her. There is this urge to stay by her side even though I only knew her for a couple of days.” Vega answered with his eyebrows and forehead scrunching.

Megrez couldn’t help but look at his brother. At that level of attraction, anyone could already tell that they had feelings for the other. On the other hand, he could also understand his brother. With Vega’s situation, it would be difficult for him to acknowledge his own feelings. He had fallen for her but because of his views, he had to deny it.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“Don’t run away from her then. If you already felt like that, then this must be a breakthrough. I will ask the elders about your case and while we are looking for an explanation, it is not wrong to get to her more. It’s also more convenient than the women they are trying to pair up with.”
