Alpha Knight's Cursed Mate 213
KNIGHT My stomach twisted a knot as I watched Nirvana asleep in the confinement at the Night Stalker Pack. I couldn’t believe I had just done what I had done to save her. I knew she would probably not forgive me for what I’d done, but I made the toughest decision, and she left me no choice. “Shit. Is that—?” Califf stared at me in disbelief. “What the fuck, Knight? What did you just do?” With my chest clenching, I looked at him. “Saving my wife.” “I’m confused. When you called me asking for my help, I did not expect you to do this.” “Babe—” Shadow smiled widely. “Who’s in the confinement?” “You’re not gonna believe it. Come and see, baby.” “Holy shit.” Her eyes widened as she stared down from the two-way mirror and stared at me. “Nirvana? Did you lock up Nirvana? Why in the hell did you do that?” “I have reasons.” I crossed my arms over my chest, determined to prove what I did was best for my mate. Nirvana hadn’t woke up, and I knew she would be terrified thinking she was he
Alpha Knight's Cursed Mate 214
KNIGHT “There’s only one way to find out,” Zarah said. All of a sudden, Nirvana stirred. She woke up and jolted to sit on the bed. Her eyes wandered around the confinement. The solitary had wolfsbane spray and a silver-plated bar behind the walls, and it had an automatic lock when the alarm went off. It was impressive. Nirvana got up from bed. I took off the boots, and Zarah kept them away from her. “You should let her know she’s okay, or she goes crazy and tear this building apart,” Califf said. “Hello? Is anybody there?” she talked wryly. “Poor thing,” said Shadow. “I can’t watch this, Knight. I know you’re trying to save her, but not like this. You just broke her trust and betrayed her.” The words trust and betray just stabbed me in the chest. “Hey! Can anyone hear me?” She took a step away from the bed, wary, and then took three more steps. At the corner of my eye, Zarah shook her head. “She’s smart. She’s gonna figure it out I’m involved, and she’s gonna hate me, Knight.
Alpha Knight's Cursed Mate 215
NIRVANA That bastard! He betrayed me, my own mate. My. Own. Fucking. Husband. I sighed and scratched my head in annoyance. I hadn’t tried teleporting. Maybe it would work, but that was the only move I had left, and they could never know that. “Sweetheart, stay put!” “Don’t call me that.” Anger boiled under my skin, and my muscles contracted. “Don’t tell me what to do, asshole! I hate you. Right now, you’re the last person I want to see. Get out! We have nothing to discuss if you don’t let me out of here. I don’t wanna see your face ever again. Do you understand? Fuck you!” I stepped closer towards them, only the shield spell that separated us and for me not to claw those eyes out— they were beautiful and sad, but I couldn’t care less. Staring at him in the eye, I let my anger simmer. “You and I are over. I don’t give a shit of defeating Cyrius. Good luck saving your people. I’m not one of your kind anyway, so I’m out. I’m fucking out.” When he dropped his gaze as if guilt tor
Alpha Knight's Cursed Mate 216
KNIGHT “I’m surprised you arranged this meeting, Alpha Knight, Alpha Califf.” Victor entered the conference room at the Werewolf Council. “I apologize for inserting it into your busy schedules, but this is important.” “May I know what it’s all about?” “My mate can’t fight against Cyrius anymore.” “Why? What happened?” Concern and worry filled his eyes as he looked at Califf and me. “She saved me from dying, and the price made her vulnerable.” “I don’t understand.” “He fatally fell off the cliff and was not healing,” Califf answered. “Nirvana traded her life or something to save him, but the price she had to pay was losing her physical protection from risk.” “I hope we can keep this information just inside this room. We were just attacked by a pack loyal to Eloh. We might have eliminated them, but there’s more coming. She got wounded. She might have healed herself, but she becomes vulnerable.” “Understood. Where is she now?” “She’s staying at the compound.” I looked at Calif
Alpha Knight's Cursed Mate 217
KNIGHT “That’s a good idea, Lyon. But how are we supposed to do that?” Zarah huffed a breath. “Let’s get out of here.” “If you can trap as powerful as Nirvana, maybe we can trap Cyrius, too, then we’ll kill him.” “Ambrose could have done that. As long as no one can wield the dagger other than Nirvana, and you’re not willing to risk her life, then our plan won’t work. And it seemed that that was what Sophie saw of Cyrius’s future before he cursed and killed them.” “Is it possible to make a swordstaff and put the dagger at the tip so everyone can wield it?” I turned to Zarah. “It is. I know a blacksmith, but the problem is, will the dagger allow itself to be touched or attached to another weapon.” “I’m sure you can work it out, Zarah. If you can make it as strong as a shield and a portal, I believe you can make it work.” “You put so much patience in me, but not on your mate.” Her words hit me hard in the chest like a knife. I looked outside the window. “I know I’m selfish, but w
Alpha Knight's Cursed Mate 218
NIRVANA Despite being imprisoned in this solitary confinement, I still felt our mating bond. I could feel if Knight was pissed off or worried about something, and it just confirmed that something was wrong when Shadow came in a hurry and called Zack out of the room. “What’s going on?” I felt suddenly helpless inside. They must be talking through their pack link, but when Zack left quickly, my desperation rocked me, and my chest heaved. “Shadow, please?” She made a deep sigh before she faced me. How she looked at me, I knew something terribly went wrong back at the vineyards. “There’s been an attack at the vineyards. That’s all I know. Knight left with Califf, Zarah, and the guys.” “Then you should let me out, Shadow. I need to be there. I can help.” I stepped closer to her, but the invisible walls kicked me back when I went too close. “Shit. God, I hate magic!” “It’s not up to me, and I don’t know how to take it down.” Please?” I believed her. “Then call someone. Aira. She’s
Alpha Knight's Cursed Mate 219
NIRVANA Ducking down, I went to the tree and hid myself there. I briefly closed my eyes to listen to the footsteps and voices. Then, I saw an intruder creeping slowly towards me. His movements were precise, but Asina was better at stealth than him. I pulled out the dagger. Before he could shift and lung at me, I swung my arm and stabbed the fucker on his neck. His body fell on the root, bleeding profusely to his death. If there was one thing that terrified me, it was that I was too calm, taking people’s lives. I knew they were the bad guys, but it was still killing— one thing that changed me into someone or something I didn’t recognize anymore. Considering I didn’t even flinch or hesitate, it should bother me. And then he did not come alone. He was merely the scout. At least six of them were walking out of the property. How did they get in the barrier? They must have a witch working for them, or they found a way to break it. Something caught my eye that sucked me in a breath. Shi
Alpha Knight's Cursed Mate 220
KNIGHT Aspen and Heartley were severely injured. They lost a lot of blood and scared the fuck out of me if they would not make it. The West and North twins were healing, but one of our eldest pack members had just died. “Alpha, I got a lot of scents over here,” Tucker reported from the east. “Don’t go far and strike alone if you find the attackers. Wait for us,” I said through the pack link. “Copy that.” “Tucker just found some scents in the east.” “Alpha!” Azrel came running. “Miss Zarah said the girls will make it through.” “Thanks.” I looked at his arm. He was bleeding. “Go get that check-up before your arm falls off.” “I’m good, Alpha.” “Don’t be a pain. You’ve done your part. Watch the infirmary closely. Report back if there’s any development.” “I will, Alpha.” Azrel ran back towards the pack house. I pulled off my tie and slipped it in my pocket as we headed towards the woods. “Uncle, you don’t have to come with us. I swear to you I will bring McKaye back.” “I’m comi
