My Cursed Mate

His hatred. His disgust. His anger. His trust she lost. Everything was all vivid in Kazandra’s memories like it just happened yesterday. It felt like needles were prickling her skin as his gaze brushed through her. Her emotions were raging and a drop of tear escaped her control. She bit her lip into redness to stop the waves of tears from falling.

“Kazandra are you alright?” Ingrid noticed the change in her mood at the appearance of the spell caster but before she could hear her answer, a deep and cold voice interrupted.

“You’re still alive.”

With that one remark, her tears fell down. She knew that the man hasn’t forgiven her. His cold gaze cut through her like a sharp sword. It was another wound carved into her soul, gnawing and ever present no matter where she goes. Regulus’ death was a stake deeply embedded in her heart while the man was a regret she wanted to correct.

“I’ve looked everywhere for you but I never found you. I wanted to ask for your forgiveness and right all the wrong I had done.” Kazandra stood up and walked to the man.

“Stop. I’m not here to talk to you. I’m here because of Vega.” The man stopped her from approaching him any further as he shifted his gaze to Alpha Megrez.

“Reiga–” Kazandra started but only received a sharp glare from the man.

“Don’t say my name. You lost that right a long time ago.” The subtle anger in his voice and the change in the air made it obvious that there was indeed a grudge between them.

Ingrid stood up, “Hey! Don’t talk to her like that!”

“If you have time for this nonsense.” Reiga turned around and the same vortex appeared. He did not want to stay in that room any longer talking about what already happened in the past. “If you want to talk about the past, then talk to yourself. You’ve never changed. You still let your emotions get the best of you. My priority is Vega and if he is not important to you, then you are free to sit here and cry all you want. Wallow in your sorrow and be a coward all your life.”

Those words were like a thundering slap on her face, piercing through her bones and waking her up from her nightmare. He was right, this was not the time to get emotional over something that already happened. Vega was missing and they don’t even know if he was alright. This was like a repeat of the past. She took a deep breath and reminded herself of her mission, and that was to protect Vega.

“I understand. Please stay. We need your help and I am willing to do anything just to find Vega.” The moment she opened her eyes, there was a blazing determination in her gaze as she looked at the man.

Reiga narrowed his eyes. He hadn’t seen the woman for a long time and thought that she must have died somewhere out there but she was here. She was hovering around Vega once again. He would never forget what she did. Even if the heavens and the earth crumbled, even if the Luna herself comes down, she will never earn his forgiveness. It was a vow he made to himself and to Regulus who endured it all.

The vortex that was about to swallow him stopped and disappeared just as fast as it appeared. Reiga faced them once again. Out of thin air, a seat materialized where he sat down.

“Do you think you can track them down, Sir Reiga?” Megrez finally asked after the atmosphere settled down a little bit. He had no idea what was going and what’s the deal with Reiga and Kazandar but that can wait until later, their priority was to locate and save Vega.

He nodded, “It won’t be easy but I will do my best to find him. But first, I need to visit the place where he disappeared. No matter how good a spell caster is in hiding its presence, they are still bound to leave a trace.”

Dealing with a spell caster like passing through embers of coal with barefoot. They were not easy to deal with especially those who were born with the power as casting spells was like breathing to them. No need to use long chants to use a spell.

Reiga had been monitoring the movement of the ORDER and had been gathering information regarding their members but he could only find what was on the surface, names and abilities. He wanted to dig deeper but every time he attempted to do so, he gets shut down even before he could start.

The strong scent of blood hit him the moment he regained consciousness. He attempted to move but he found his movements to be severely restricted. His arms were stretched above his head, restrained by cold metal chains around his wrists, while his feet were also bound. The lack of vision only made his situation worse. They made sure that the blind fold they used was thick enough to render him sightless.

The damp and musty smell of his surroundings added to the oncoming headache. He could already guess that he was in a prison cell with no windows. After assessing his situation, his thoughts drifted back to the night he was abducted.All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

It was only a moment of eye contact when he suddenly felt his body going numb and a piercing pain in his abdomen almost sent hurtling down. He grimaced when he felt that something was moving inside his body. He tried to locate it but his wolf wasn’t listening to him. Not long after his vision started to get cloudy until he finally lost consciousness. It was his own fault for being careless.

The movement from the cell was noticed by Injurious who was comfortably seated outside with a table of food in front of him. He stood up and walked towards the cell. He pushed open the prison doors with a screech and after a few steps, he crouched down beside the Vega.

“You’re finally awake. I thought I needed to pour some iced water on you before you open your eyes.” Injurious was scrutinizing the man.

“What do you want from me?” Vega asked instead of responding to the man.

“I’m also not sure, I’m just following orders from that person. He must have wanted to play with that woman.” Injurious shrugged his shoulders even the man couldn’t see his actions. “I haven’t received any instructions yet so you’ll have to stay here for the mean time.”

Vega chose to remain silent. The person who ordered him must be someone with a high position inside the ORDER and the woman he was talking about must have been Kazandra since she was their target according to the information he received.

“What did you do to me?” Vega had been trying to connect with his wolf but it had been silent and was not responding to him.

“I’m keeping him under control and if you are not careful, the black snake might bit your wolf to death.”
