Alpha Knight's Cursed Mate 180
KNIGHT “Tell me then, I’m listening.” The way she said it, it concerned me. She was so relaxed on the couch while I wanted to kill everyone coming after her. Zarah turned to Victor. “By any chance, did they come in contact with Cyrius?” “Maybe during my absence, Cyrius paid a visit to Eloh, or maybe he was infected or mind-controlled. I have no idea. They removed me from my seat, Zarah. I want to kill them all.” “Because of me. It all comes down to me.” Nirvana kept blaming herself. Guilt was drowning her. “Hey.” I went to her and held her knees. “This is not on you. Months ago, you were just an ordinary girl wanting to manage a restaurant. This is why I didn’t want you in this treacherous world. I brought you in. This is on me. If I could—” “If you could, what? Reset? I swear to God, if you say that to me, I will break your face.” She wasn’t kidding. She was so angry she could smash my face. “I’m sorry, Nirvana. I love you, and I will die fighting to keep you safe.” “I know.”
Alpha Knight's Cursed Mate 181
NIRVANA I woke up gasping. It seemed that I was having a dream, but I couldn’t remember what it was, and I had no recollection of how I came to be in this unfamiliar room or this bed. I was not in our bed nor at the pack house. Then I remembered we were in the office talking about Cadogan, and Victor called until we argued about turning myself into the council. Zarah. “Oh, my God.” I got up from bed and went to the door. Thankfully, it was unlocked, or it left it that way. As I looked around, the house interior appeared suburban, and then the strong scents of cinnamon, musk, and herbs hit my nostrils— I could be a home spray, reeds, or a diffuser. I stepped out, barefooted, tiptoeing to find the exit. “Good. You’re awake.” I jumped at the voice behind me. My hand flattened on my chest as I turned around, trying to calm my heartbeat. “Where do you think you’re going?” Zarah asked flatly. “What did you do to me? Why am I here in your house?” “Follow me.” She gestured. She
Alpha Knight's Cursed Mate 182
NIRVANA “So there’s no way I can go back?” I still insisted, even if I already knew the answer. “No. Right now, I can’t portal you back. They monitor anyone who has contact with the vineyards. You can’t call Knight or anyone, or you will put their lives in danger. Do you understand me? This a serious matter, Nirvana. You are wanted by the new council. And I don’t think he will go easy on you. They just contacted Margaret, the high priestess of my coven. So, I’m also under surveillance, but I’m risking my safety and my life for you.” I couldn’t say anymore. All I did was eat her pie, and it was delicious, or I just had nothing to do than eat. “For how long?” “Maybe a day, a week, a month, I don’t know. Until the council won’t clears the vineyards, you can’t go back. You can’t see your mate.” “So the council can’t have me, but I am under house arrest.” I studied her for a moment. I saw nothing but her concern. “Great.” “This is better than them torturing you and taking away your p
Alpha Knight's Cursed Mate 183
KNIGHT “Don’t make this difficult for yourself, Alpha Knight. You know we can still get to her without your help. Now, where’s your mate?” I was proved, had been questioned for almost an hour by the same man who went to the vineyards, and he hadn’t given up. Eloh must have been pressuring them to get to my mate. “How many times do I have to tell you I don’t know where she is?” I was telling the truth because I didn’t know where Zarah took her. “You can access and probe my brain. Go ahead. Like I told you a thousand times, I don’t know where she is. We can do it all day, and you will get the same answer.” “I know you are protecting your mate. That’s what we do, but if you continue resisting us—” “What? What are you going to do?” I didn’t like it when people threatened me. “Do you think I wanted this to happen? I was just happy when I found my mate, and then three days ago, she was wanted and treated by your people like a criminal, and now she’s gone. Are you threatening me? I’m co
Alpha Knight's Cursed Mate 184
KNIGHT “Guys, I came as soon as I heard what happened.” We all turned to see Dylan with his duffel bag and somewhat radiation detector. “What the hell is that thing?” McKaye asked. “Zarah chanted a spell so I could detect if there’s some listening device or camera hidden in this house.” “Great idea. Start working.” I went to the kitchen and grabbed water from the ref. I was about to drink when Kailin came and hugged me tight. “I can’t even begin to fathom what you’re feeling right now, cousin. I’m so sorry you are going through this. You both don’t deserve it.” “I’m good as long as I know she’s safe out there, K.” I breathed deeply and drank the water. “How’s your wound?” “Healing.” I felt her hesitation to say something. “You’re worried about Dane?” She instantly put her walls up. “Why would I?” I managed to put a smile on my face. Despite everything that was going on, I knew Nirvana would not give up on us, and that was something I should keep holding on to until she cam
Alpha Knight's Cursed Mate 185
NIRVANA“I’m going to Italy, but I’ll be back on Tuesday. You have everything you need, and please don’t burn my house down. Call the second number on that phone if there’s an emergency.”“Who’s number is this?”“Just in case of emergency.”I shrugged. “Three days, huh? You miss the Lycan King.”“Don’t ever attempt to get out of this house.” She retained her calm demeanor and looked at me as if she read my mind that I might try.“How could I? You blocked every hole in this house with your mojo.” I rolled my eyes. “Is there a trigger or something—”“What did I just tell you?” She sounded more like a mother than a witch who saved my life many times than I could count. “The study is open. I suggest you read books, but don’t touch the Grimoire.”“Why not?”Irritated with my inquiry, she shook her head.“I know I’m a pain in your ass, but my mother was a witch. Maybe something inside my brain can make a certain spell work.”“Don’t even try. I’ll see you soon.” That was it. She had just wal
Alpha Knight's Cursed Mate 186
NIRVANA My gaze shifted to an angry black man glaring down at me. Scrambling, I got up on my feet despite my knees still being weak. One thing I noticed was that my mind still worked despite what I had just been through, and I was about to be run over by a car. “You’re lucky I did not hit you, bitch.” The man spat out before he walked towards the car, just at least two steps before it crushed me. “Hey. Give her a break,” said the woman who came to help. “Come with me.” I had no choice but to walk with her out of the street. I looked around, and yes, I was in the busy street— just the nightmare I avoided. I had a premature jump, and it almost killed me. “Where are we?” My voice shook, seemingly sounding foreign to me. She inspected me from head to toe and started throwing a bunch of questions, “Are you okay? What happened to you? You’re disoriented. You don’t look like you’re from around here. And how did you get in the middle of the street? Thank God you didn’t get hurt.” I lo
Alpha Knight's Cursed Mate 187
NIRVANA I was quick on my feet when a car parked beside the road. My instinct told me to run, and I walked faster away from the vehicle. It was thirty minutes since I last talked to Kain, and he hadn’t called me back. “Nirvana!” I sucked in a breath as I stopped. I became the person I didn’t recognize anymore as paranoia and cynicism sank in my head. I felt terrified, in pain and sorrow these days. I couldn’t remember feeling safe, even in a room with a locked door. “Nirvana, it’s Kain.” I heard him following me, and that voice was the same voice I heard in Inverness and over the phone. I turned around, and it was Kain, the very same man we found outside the pub. I ran and threw myself at him. I never felt so relieved that I cried in his arms, and he gave me a bear hug, patting my back. “Hey. It’s going to be okay. I drove here as fast as I could.” “Thank you.” All I could say was as I pulled away, wiping my tears. “Let’s get you in the car,” he said, opening the door to the p
