My Cursed Mate

Megrez returned to Cerulean with everyone waiting. They watched the press conference and were impressed by how he answered the press. He managed to at least divert their attention while they were to give them more time to investigate.

“Have you seen the them?” Vega asked after his brother took a seat.

Megrez nodded his head. “They are being controlled. I tried to use the mind link but they were unresponsive and their mind is blank. I can’t even feel their wolves.”

“Is there a way to free from the enemy’s control?” Rick became concerned for the well-being of his comrades.

“There is but I need to meet them in person and I’ll need assistance from Ingrid,” Reiga answered from the crown. He just came in just as the Alpha told them about the mind control.

“Why do you need her help?” Megrez tensed at the mention of his mate.

“Are you implying that this is one a vampire’s doing?” This time it was Kazandra who became concerned. Vampires getting involved with werewolves would always make everything messy.

“They’re one of the clans that can use mind control. I just want her to tell me how strong the mind control is so that I can assess how I should deal with them.” Reiga clarified seeing that they were getting worked up when he just mentioned her name.

The atmosphere calmed down after his explanation. “Ingrid is currently caught up with issues in her coven and I don’t think that it is right to disturb her.” Megrez had a frown on his face while thinking of their last call.

“But we don’t know any other vampire. If she is not available then she can perhaps send another who can help us.” Reiga reasoned which made the others nod their head.

Megrez looked at them and with a sigh, he finally agreed. He brought out his phone and immediately gave her a call. Ingrid answered at the second ring and gave her mate a greeting.

“I hope you are not busy…” Megrez asked after their greeting and this made Ingrid who was lying on her bed smile.

“Not really. I’m currently lying in bed after watching your press conference. You were really cool and handsome,” Ingrid answered. With just her voice, Megrez could already tell that she was in a good mood.

“Yes and after meeting our warriors who were accused of being the conflict, I found out that they were subjected to mind control.” Megrez tentatively looked at the people who were listening to him.

“A vampire’s ability,” Ingrid sat up, “I’ll send someone to look into it. Do you need him to be there too?”

“Yes. Reiga says that he can undo the mind control but he will need the help of a vampire.” Megrez gave a thumbs up to Reiga.

“Alright, you can expect him to be there the day after tomorrow. For now, you should think of a way to meet your pack members again.” Ingrid stood up from her bed and picked up her coat. “I’ll call you back later. Something suddenly came up.”

They bid each other goodbye. “She’ll be sending someone. Now we need to plan how we can meet them again.”

After that call, Ingrid called Elder Vyka and told him about the situation. The elder agreed to help. “Regarding your question, I am not sure. I will let someone investigate it and once I see the wolves that were being controlled, I might get a clearer picture of the situation.”

“Thank you so much elder. I will be counting on you.” Ingrid ended the call and went to her room’s balcony where she could perfectly see the illusory red moon that gave light to Vermillion.

After they were done, Kazandra and Vega returned to Vega’s condo in the city. They were holding hands while walking along the hallways when they found someone standing before his door. He immediately noticed it because the person was wearing a red coat and red stilettos. He stopped on his tracks and so did Kazandra.

His attention was on the woman and when the woman turned around his body froze. He suddenly couldn’t move his body and the pounding of his heart filled his ear that he did not hear Kazandra calling out his name. Vega started shaking with his eyes wide open.

The woman smiled at the sight of Vega. She gave him a smile but Vega could only step back. He did not understand what he was feeling right at that moment. Kazandra noticed Vega’s strange actions and when she looked at the direction where he was looking, she found it to be empty and yet Vega was acting like he was seeing something.

Kazandra stepped forward and blocked his vision. She then held his face and used her palm to guide his eyelids. His eyes closed and at the moment of temporary darkness, he felt her warmth. Her soft lips were touching his own lips and by instinct, he opened his mouth to let the woman in. Their kiss deepened and lasted for seconds before they stopped.

Vega gave the woman a smile before he looked behind her. The woman was not there but the feeling she gave him did not disappear. If it was not for Kazandra’s interruption, he would have been in that state for who knows how long. He gave his mate a hug as he took a deep breath.

At that moment, Kazandra knew that Vega was not in a good condition. She started to gently pat his back and after a while, they finally made their way to his condo. Kazandra went straight to the kitchen to fetch a cup of water for Vega.

She found him leaning on the couch with his eyes closed and when she was near him, he opened his eyes and accepted the glass of water. Kazandra watched him gulp down the water in one go and placing the cup on the table.

“What happened Vega?” She reached out and held his hand.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

Vega shook his head. He did not want to talk about it. “Nothing. This must be because to fatigue. I’ve been working hard these past few days and with what is happening to Cerulean right now, there’s been a lot on my plate.”

Kazandra knew that he was only making excuses but she did not want to force him. “Then let’s go ahead and rest.” Instead of forcing him to speak, she would let him rest first before asking again.

She was worried that the man was forcing himself too much. There were also things she noticed these past few days that raised concerns but she couldn’t bring it up with Megrez because of the recent incidents.
