My Cursed Mate

Vega caressed her cheeks and her eyes. He then lowered his head and gave her forehead a feather light kiss before moving down to her nose and eventually to her lips. It was only a light kiss to her lips before he pulled back and gave her smile. A smile he rarely showed to anyone.

“Why did you cry?” His brows furrowed while looking her in the eyes. He was looking for any signs that could give him a clue as to why Kazandra cried.

The woman simply shook her head. “I did not cry,” she denied.

Vega fell silent at her words. “Tell me. I don’t want to see you sad. Is it about what happened?” He did not want to leave it at that because the more that Kazandra closes her heart, the more that the distance between them would grow.

At that moment, Kazandra buried herself in his arms. Slowly her tears fell. Her emotions were getting the best of her and she did not like it. It was not in her nature to show weakness and especially not in front of Vega. She wanted to be someone who can stand strong in front of him.

Vega embraced her tightly and rubbed her back. He knew that she was crying. He let her stay in his arms until she could finally calm down. His impression of her when he first saw her already changed. She was indeed an amazing woman admired by many but by the end of the day, she was still human and he perfectly understood that because he was the same.

A moment of weakness, doesn’t always mean that you are forever weak. Holding it inside without letting it go would only put pressure in our mental state and in our daily lives. He wanted her to let it all out because he wanted to see that strong and confident Kazandra without her holding herself back.

Vega crouched a bit with his other hand on Kazandra’s back as he positioned his other hand behind her knees and scooped her up. Kazandra naturally encircled her hands on his neck as he carried her back to her room. He carefully laid her on the bed and yet she didn’t let go so he chose to lay beside her.

He let her lie on his arm as he pulled her closer. She buried her head on her chest with her arms tightly holding him. She slowly calmed down as she forgot all that happened and succumbed to sleep. Vega did not stop from rubbing her back until he too fell asleep.

After a few days of rest in Zaithan, Vega was summoned back to Xefton by his brother. He wanted to stay longer in Zaithan but his brother was adamant that he must return back. He even emphasized that Vega must bring Kazandra with him. Vega was confused how he knew about Kazandra and when he asked the woman, she explained what happened.

“This is also a good chance to meet with the saint regarding the problem between the two of you.” Evos agreed with the Alpha that it was better for Vega to return to Xefton for a while. “The investigation on ORDER is proceeding according to plan and they can always report to you anytime.”

Vega gave Kazandra a look and the woman replied with a smile and a nod. Even without the Alpha’s instruction, she planned to return with Vega to Xefton. Just as Evos said, it was their chance to know the truth.All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Alright,” Vega agreed. “By the way, how’s the collaboration going?” He had been gone for a few days and wasn’t able to oversee the reason why they were in Zaithan.

“It is proceeding accordingly. We’ve already secured Madam Elise’s plantation to be a supplier of coffee beans to our hotel and restaurant. The renovations for Vignier’s branch inside our hotel are also going smoothly.” Evos was flipping through the documents on his hands while reporting to Vega.

“How about the matter regarding Sophia?” The room fell silent at that question.

“Alpha Megrez had already dealt with it. It appeared to be a car accident and that she did not survive.” Evos felt sorry for the woman even though she was arrogant, she still didn’t deserve to be treated like a puppet.

Vega nodded. He learned what happened to Sophia after Kazandra’s narrative of what happened because he was out most of the time. Although she was not a good woman, she was still a daughter to someone and was the only daughter of Mr. Reiner. For her to be involved with the ORDER only showed that they knew more about them than what they knew about their enemy.

“Are you returning with us, Reiga?” Vega then looked at the man who had been leaning on the wall a few steps away from them.

“I will,” he nodded, “I’ll be staying this time.”

“Are you sure?” Vega’s voice was tinged with surprise. “Are you done with your traveling?”

“Yes, and there are things in the pack that I also need to do.” He was not leaving because the ORDER was already on the move. He did not intend to lay low anytime now.

Vega was glad that the man decided to stay. He hadn’t seen him for a long time and now that he was back, he was assured that everything would be okay. He did not know why he trusted the man with his life but it has been like that ever since he first appeared in Cerulean.

“And I will be bringing Ravina. It’s about time I introduce her to the pack.” Evos suddenly added which turned the atmosphere even happier.

“My brother will be happy,” Vega nodded.

After that, they prepared to depart as soon as possible. When Ravina was informed that she would be going with them, she was very happy and a bit intimidated but with Kazandra, she felt a bit at ease. Using Kazandra’s private plane, they reached Xefton with no problems and just like before they were escorted by members of the pack.

Ingrid acted as an usher and waited for their arrival. After Reiga appeared, Megrez convinced her to stay in Cerulean and with Kazandra’s help in coaxing her, she agreed. Although the Alpha’s primal instinct was calmed, it was still not a good decision for the both of them to stay away from each other.

The moment that the car arrived, Ingrid already had a smile on her face. She had been bored in the pack for the past days and was getting annoyed with how the people there were treating her. They were already calling her Luna when she and Megrez hadn’t marked each other yet. News really traveled fast and, in a few days, the elders of the pack will meet her and that must be one of the reasons why Megrez ordered his brother to return. She could already feel that those elders will be a problem, not only to her but to her friend.
