My Cursed Mate

Evos looked at his friend. He had known the man since they were a child and he also saw how devastated he was when he did not find his mate on his 18th birthday. It was the same with his brother and younger sister but the impact on him was different.

He became distant and didn’t want to talk to anybody except for his siblings and other friends. It also didn’t help that some of the elders from the pack would visit them with a marriage proposal in mind. Eventually he got fed up and left Cerulean.

“Are you sure?” He was worried that the man might really go crazy if Kazandra turned out to be not his mate.

Vega gave him a nod. “Yes, and my wolf also agreed with it.”

“I won’t stop you then and it’s also good that you are staying with her. By the way, the warriors that your brother sent will arrive tomorrow. The warriors from Aurum are already scattered around the premises.” Evos handed him the list of names of the warriors that were sent to help them. He browsed through them and memorized their faces and names.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

“Thank you.” He handed back the documents and reached out for the glass of whiskey he was drinking. “Will you be alright tonight?”

Evos looked paler and even his lips were losing their color. He also noticed the slight tremble in his hands when he handed him the documents. His wolf must have been going crazy because he couldn’t claim his mate.

“I’ll get through it,” Evos sighed. He left the man and went down to the coffee bar to make himself a coffee.

Because of the necklace he was wearing, he did not smell Ravina and felt a presence there. He thought that it was somebody else. The moment he realized who it was, it was already too late. Ravina already noticed him and asked him to sit with her.

“I didn’t get to talk with you at the restaurant because you suddenly disappeared.” Ravina started the conversation after Evos was done making his coffee.

“Yes, something suddenly came up so I needed to leave.” He answered as calmly as he could even though his wolf was clawing at him from the inside.

He wanted to leave. He couldn’t be with the woman in the same room even for a few more seconds or else he would do something that might scare the woman. His thoughts were in overdrive but before he could stand up and leave, a hand was already holding his.

“You know, I’ve met a lot of people but this is the first time that I got curious about someone. There’s something about you that draws me in.” The woman said out of the blue and it caught him off guard and her next move almost drove him crazy.

Ravina’s soft hand was holding him and the tingling sensation filled his body. The woman was taken aback by the same sensation and was ready to pull her hands away but Evos held her hand tight. He looked her in the eye and all the control he had, broke.

He leaned forward while Ravina leaned back until she was almost lying on the sofa. Her breath hitched at the intensity of the man’s stare. Evos’s eyes started to shift from its dark brown color into the bright blue eyes of his wolf as he claimed the woman’s lips.

The shock and disbelief were replaced with passion and pleasure. Her mind went blank as the man’s tongue invaded her mouth. Everything was forgotten as the pleasure was building up to new heights. She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him closer. He pushed and let her comfortably lay on the sofa.

He pulled back for a few seconds to admire the woman beneath her. Ravina’s hair became messy and her eyes were filled with lust which only awoke the beast inside the man. He leaned down and took her lips for one deep kiss before his mouth started to explore south.

Ravina’s moans filled the living room as the man sucked and kissed her neck and down to her chest. She could feel the heat from her core and started to tug the man’s hair. With their bodies already entangled, the cold night was filled with pleasure and the sound of rain.

The heavy rain lasted through the night and finally stopped at dawn. Kazandra woke up early to make hot chocolate for herself. She sat down on the reclining chair and watched the sunrise at the horizon. She looked back when she heard footsteps and saw that it was Vega. He was in casual wear and still with messy hair.

“Going for a run?” Kazandra returned her gaze at the cup of chocolate she was drinking and took another sip.

“Yes.” Vega stretched his arms above his head and looked ahead.

“Do you want coffee when you come back?” Kazandra offered, sounding so innocent even though it was her way of flirting with him.

“Make it black.” Vega left and started to run around the house.

He then started to run around the plantation even though the soil was wet and muddy. He reached the river. The water’s current was strong and it was muddy because of the rain. He kneeled down on one knee and scooped water from the river when he heard rustling from behind.

Vega turned around but he saw nothing. He returned to touching the water when he heard the rustling once again. This time he stood up and walked to the bushes where the rustling was coming from. His hand slowly reached out and parted the bushes but the moment that a space was created, a shadow leapt out and disappeared.

With his excellent vision, he followed the dark shadow. It was agile and fast. It easily dodged all of Vega’s attempts to catch it. They were running along the river but Vega hadn’t caught it yet.

Kazandra looked in the direction where Vega disappeared but the man was still nowhere to be found. The sun was about to rise but he showed no signs of showing up. Kazandra returned the cup she used and started to wash it, when a loud howl echoed from the distance.

The cup in her hand slipped and hit the floor. It broke into pieces but her attention was on what she heard. Her footsteps were swift as she reached the porch in seconds. The howl came from the same direction as Vega’s route.
