My Cursed Mate

“You better stay in Cerulean for now. Let Evos manage Empire for now and if there are any other necessary things regarding the company, you can do it all here. Meetings can be done online and documents can be sent via email and fax. I don’t want to risk it and let you stay in your condo. At least, if you suddenly shift into your wolf you would be safer here.” The command came and it made Vega frown.

“Brother -” he started but was immediately cut off.

“If you don’t want to add to my problems, then do as I say and stay here and while you are here, you can help with managing the pack as well. Let’s visit the Saint later. She might know what is happening to you.” Megrez gave him a glare.

“If you don’t want to get nagged, then just do what big brother says. I’ll personally escort you there later.” Ascella added with a grin but Vega knew what she meant. She would be supervising him and watchin all of his moves.

“Thank you Alpha Megrez and Ascella,” Kazandra was happy that her mate’s siblings were ready to help him.

Vega could only watch in silence as his family took it in their own hands to decide what he should do. He looked at his secretary and friend but the man only averted his gaze. Evos was not there to stop them but was there to support them.

That afternoon, they made their way to the Saint’s dwelling. Because they were close, they were given permission to meet her. Inside the Saint’s humble abode, they sat and waited for her to come. Abella appeared and the moment she stepped inside the room, her gaze landed on Vega.

“A storm is coming,” was the Saint’s first sentence when she entered the room.

The room fell into silence at her words and when she sat down, she did not say anything. She had her eyes wide open and yet it felt like she was not there. Ascella wanted to call her out but she was stopped by Reiga who held her shoulders. Ascella looked back at the man and saw him shaking his head.

It took at least ten minutes before the Saint finally came to herself and looked at Vega ang Kazandra. “The red moon has appeared. The silver moon is about to weep. The black moon has made its move. The broken moon needs to die for the white moon to live. If the white moon dies, the broken moon will live.”

Their faces all looked confused at the Saint’s words. She was talking about the moon and yet she mentioned five moons. Ascella looked at Reiga and his brother and sister but they all looked confused and serious.

“That doesn’t make sense. We only have one moon.” Kazandra broke the silence. She felt like she could understand what the Saint had said and yet at the last moment she failed to grasp the meaning of her words.

Abella looked at Vega, “You are going to be swallowed.” She was silent before she spoke again, “I am not sure of the details but I can tell you who the moons are. The red moon, I’m sure that Vega met her already. The silver moon has always been watching her children from the sky. The black moon has been lurking in the dark for the past 1000 years. The broken moon has been cursed to loneliness and the white moon was an unfortunate soul.”

Just knowing who those moons were was enough for them to have an idea of what was happening. The four last moons were pretty clear enough but the first moon remained mysterious.

Vega’s mind was running a mile as he thought of that woman who always appears within his vision. She kept on giving him a weird smile that would always invoke fear within him. Even his wolf would whine and whimper whenever that woman appears. And those words about the white moon and broken moon brought him even more concern.

“Are you telling me that one of us needs to die for the other to live?” It sounded ridiculous and unbelievable but with the Saint’s nod, he shook his head. “Why? Is it because of that curse?” His voice rose and his fists were clenched.

“It is a debt that needs to be paid.” Abella locked eyes with him, “A payment that has been overdue because of the silver moon’s favor.”

“Is it also the only way to break the curse?” Kazandra spoke up after becoming silent when she heard those words.

The Saint nodded her head. “The red moon will make sure that you will die,” she looked at Kazandra, “and she will do everything to bring you back to her side.”

“Why would she bring me to her side? Who is she that even my wolf would feel fear whenever she shows up?” He took several deep breaths to calm himself.

“The red moon and the silver moon came from the same source. One loved her children while the other only loved her child. For her to get her child back, her child needs to die and I believe that the curse was done to make sure that her child will be able to go with her.”

“Are you telling us that my brother, Vega, is her child?” Ascella finally found the strength to ask.

“Have you seen the red woman he sees?” Abella then asked Kazandra.

Kazandra shook her head. “I haven’t.”

“Then that is proof enough that you are her son, more specifically, you are his son’s reincarnation.” The Saint felt sorry for him but it was an inevitable truth that he needed, they needed to know. Her role was to help them and for sometime now, she had the hunch that Vega was indeed related to the red moon.

“How could a being equal to the Luna have a son?” Vega was getting confused. He couldn’t believe what he was hearing.

“I have read a legend that talks about the red moon. The red moon was the younger amongst the two sisters. She was mischievous and stubborn and yet she had the most love in her heart. She fell in love with a human and bore a son. But because people were wary and full of fear, they killed her beloved and her son. She started a blood bath and if not for the Luna stepping in, humanity would have been destroyed. The Luna promised her that her son will be reborn but as a punishment for what she did, she won’t be able to hold him or even talk to him. All she could do was watch him from a distance.”
