My Cursed Mate

Turbulence



The men waited for the elders and welcomed them after their arrival. They were ushered to the seats that were vacated by the ladies. Vega and Evos stood behind Megrez as they waited for the three elders to be seated.

Refreshments were offered to them and after a few sips, they began to talk. They started by asking about the pack and its condition before slowly probing into the matters which greatly concerned them.

“Is your mate still here?” One of the elders directed the question to Megrez.

“Yes, but she isn’t in the mood, so I let her rest for a while.” His tone was serious because he was not keen on answering these kinds of questions but whenever the elders were there, this topic would always be talked about.

“Have you marked her already?” The second elder asked without regard to the building’s tense atmosphere.

“There’s no rush. As you all know, she is not a werewolf so I am giving her time to adjust and think it through.” Megrez reasoned as he did not want to rush Ingrid because the woman might flip and disregard him.

“She should accept it already. She’s a vampire and knows about our customs.” The first elder who asked a question followed up which made Megrez clenched his fists.

“Vampires and werewolves are fundamentally different. We can’t just rush them,” Megrez was not happy.

The first elder sighed and shook his head. “This is the reason why mating with a different species is truly difficult. Have you ever considered mating with another werewolf?”

This question broke Megrez’s self-control as the atmosphere turned sour. He stood up and stared at them with his pupils fully turning gold. “Are you suggesting that I defy the moon goddess and my mate? Have you lost your mind?” A growl escaped his mouth after his question but he did not give the elders any time to answer. “Or have you already betrayed the moon goddess and felt the need to further disrespect her?”

Furious was beyond what he was feeling right at that moment. All he wanted was to pounce towards them and just rip them to shreds and be done with it. These elders have become more and more ridiculous these past years. His tolerance for them was already reaching its limit.

“Alpha! You should watch your words!” The third elder sprang into action.

“Watch my word?” Megrez laughed, “it should be you people who should be watching their words.” He took a step forward and faced the standing elder eye to eye. “You may be an elder and existed longer than me but may I remind you that I am still your Alpha and I do not tolerate disrespect to me, to my family, to my mate and especially to the moon goddess. Leave before I decide to end it all here.”

Vega took hold of his brother’s arms. He could understand his anger but if something really happened and the elders were injured, problems within the pack may arise. Some members still support the elders and they won’t think twice in causing trouble if any harm would come to the elders.

“I think it is better for our esteemed elders to leave for now. We can talk about this another time.” Vega looked at them with warning but not even his gaze nor the Alpha’s anger was going to stop them.

“We are only thinking about the well-being of our pack. A vampire being the luna of our pack is unheard of.” The third elder was not about to let it go. “And for the Alpha bloodline to have a vampire and a human mate is simply unacceptable.”

Vega’s countenance changed after those words. They were obviously talking about him and how they knew about Kazandra, he didn’t know. “There’s nothing wrong with our mates. The moon goddess has given them to us and we are simply accepting her gift.”

“In your eyes there is nothing wrong, but what will the other packs think after learning that the highest leaders of our pack don’t have a werewolf as their mates. It is not uncommon but for pure blooded alpha, it should not happen.” The third elder insisted because he was not having any of it. They, the elders, would not accept other species to rule over them.

They already knew that the elders held a different view from them but to know that it was to this extent, that they could ignore the Luna’s authority was becoming more and more atrocious and out of line. It was a blatant defiance to the Alpha’s rule. Before their father died, the elders weren’t as fussy and meddlesome but ever since his brother became the Alpha, they suddenly found the courage to defy him every step of the way.

“After personally hearing those ridiculous words coming from your mouths, I couldn’t help but think that the elders are defying the moon goddess. Just because the Luna hasn’t shown her presence for a long time, it doesn’t mean that she no longer exists.” Vega showed them his wolf’s presence. His pupils have already turned gold.

In the face of two pure blood alphas, the three elders couldn’t help but back down a bit. They shivered at the pressure they were exuding and their bodies shook as two wolves were asserting their dominance over them.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“You should remember this, defying the moon goddess will only bring destruction. It already happened in the past and it can happen again today. If you are really thinking about the welfare of Cerulean, then I suggest that you change your way of thinking.” Vega did not retract his pressure as he gave them a word of warning.

At his words, Reiga stood up and strode to where the elders were. “The moon goddess’s wrath isn’t something to be trifled with. And that wrath, I saw it with my own eyes. If you don’t want to die a miserable death, then go back and advise your fellow old wolves to stop going against what has already been set.”

These words finally sent the elders away. The growing pressure inside the room was getting difficult to counter and their wolves have already submitted to the alpha wolves. They left the pack house with large beads of sweat running down their faces. Trembling, they gave the pack house one last glance before fleeing as if a terrifying monster was behind them.

Slowly, the atmosphere in the living room eased after the elders left in a hurry. They could finally breath and sit down in peace. Vega took the empty spot beside his brother and leaned back on the couch.

“Those elders are really something,” he shook his head.

“I really hate it when they just come barging in and saying whatever they want without thinking,” Megrez added.

After a while, Vega directed his attention to Reiga. Ever since the elders left, he could already feel the man’s gaze on him but he chose to ignore it but with the intensity he could no longer brush it off.

“Is there something wrong, Reiga?” he finally addressed the man.

“You knew,” was his only response..
