Alpha Knight's Cursed Mate 38
NIRVANA I was about to get out of my room to meet Kailin when there was a knock on my door. “Where should I put these?” A man whom I saw shifted now standing before me. He had a British accent, carrying a box and an easel in his other hand. “I don’t remember buying those things.” I was surprised to see some painting tools and a medium box carried by Zander. “Alpha asked us to deliver these to you,” Zander said. “Oh. I see.” “Vana, are you ready?” Great. Kailin just came into the room. “What are these?” “Apparently, the alpha bought these for me.” I gestured for the guys to bring the boxes inside. “Just put them on the corner. Thank you.” “Aw. That’s sweet.” Kailin smiled, giggling. I rolled my eyes. “Of course, you find this gesture sweet.” “He never did this to anyone. Well, he never brought women home. I guess he kept in mind what you like to do.” My eyes narrowed. “I thought you were wearing AirPods that night.” She lifted her chin. “I put my AirPods on and pretended I
Alpha Knight's Cursed Mate 39
NIRVANA I followed Kailin through the hallway to the far end until Knight’s name was on a gold plate on the glass wall, slapping me with his CEO position. Kailin pushed the door open without knocking. I guessed she didn’t have to knock since she was the assistant. “He’s still in the meeting in the conference.” “I’ll wait in the waiting area.” “Are you silly? Stay here. I’ll go check on him.” “Why aren’t you there with him?” “My job is assisting his pack business, fixing his schedules, and then I forward it to his executive. Since she’s human, she doesn’t know what we are.” “Right.” I stayed in his modern, minimalist, spacious office. I checked some of the trophies and plaques from the wine competition on the shelves. I also saw a family photo. I picked it up. Knight was still a teenager with his parents. I put it back when I felt someone was watching me. I turned around, and I almost tripped. Yeah, I wore high heels today. “Hi.” I swallowed. Knight caught me off guard. He l
Alpha Knight's Cursed Mate 40
KNIGHT Shit. Fuck. Nirvana just left my office. When I thought everything was heading in the right direction, her stupid ex couldn’t fucking understand what moving on meant. “Nirvana, wait!” The door almost slammed into my face. “Where is she going?” My assistant had always the wrong timing. “Give me the coffee.” I grabbed them from her and followed Nirvana downstairs. I called her name again, but she was pissed off and chose to ignore me. “Nirvana, please? Just hold on a sec.” She turned to me. For a second, admiration filled my chest as I saw the unyielding impulse and disobedience in her eyes. She would be a great Luna in the future. “I’m not talking to you.” “I know. I’m sorry. You have to understand one thing about our nature, especially me,” I whispered so everyone around here wouldn’t think of me going nuts. “God, I’m so sick of hearing the word nature!” She hissed at me, eyes filling with rage. “I’m very possessive and jealous. It’s not really what I wanted to, bu
Alpha Knight's Cursed Mate 41
KNIGHT “What?” I snapped at her. “Be careful with your adjective, Jada. You know I don’t date my employees, and I have no plan on sleeping with any one of you. I practice fraternization policy at full length.” Jada asked me for a drink once, and I turned her down, even if it was just a friendly date. I didn’t want to give everyone the impression that it was okay, but her body language at that time said otherwise. “I’m sorry, Mr. Blackwell. I meant no offense.” “That’s exactly what you wanted to say. I wouldn’t date her if I were not sure I wouldn’t put my ring on her finger. Nirvana checked the list of the woman I wanted to spend the rest of my life with, and I love her the way she is. I enjoy watching her being herself and not wasting her time in the mirror. She dresses just perfectly without showing much skin, but she’s the sexiest and the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen. And trust me when I say this: I’d rather live alone than not marry her.” I found Kailin waiting and lis
Alpha Knight's Cursed Mate 42
NIRVANA “There you go.” Kailin just threw something at me, and I caught it before it hit my face. I was just in the vineyards earlier when Knight joined me, ruining my peaceful moment alone. “What the—” I opened my hand and saw a key with the Mercedes logo. “Who owned this?” “Your baby.” “It’s Knight?” “Unless you have another baby who owns a Mercedes Benz S-Class car.” She already turned her heels and grabbed my room door. “K, wait.” She frowned. “Don’t negotiate with me. Knight chose it for you.” “I can’t.” “Shut up and use it. You’ll hurt his feelings if you refuse to use the car, and a bad mood alpha isn’t so easy to deal with.” She shut the door before me. I went to my bed and grabbed my phone. I scrolled halfway through my Phonebook to find his name, and I ended up typing it, but nada. Maybe he didn’t save his number before Axell called. I dialed Kailin. “I’m sorry, but if you don’t like that car, go ahead and return it to your mate.” “No. It’s fine. Can you send
Alpha Knight's Cursed Mate 43
KNIGHT Nirvana had an uneasy posture as she got into my house. She looked around the living room but hadn’t said anything. “Take a seat. You want coffee?” “I’m good.” She took a seat on the leather couch, and I went to the kitchen to take my coffee in the tumbler. I decided to work at home today, and maybe I could spend some time with her. When I came back to the couch, Nirvana was not there anymore. “Nirvana?” I followed her scent and found her in the hallway, looking at one of the paintings. “I really like this artist. He spent hours and hours perfecting his art. His masterpiece is classic. His traditional way of painting made him one of a kind. This encaustic painting is one of my favorites.” “Do you collect his paintings?” She chuckled as she looked at me. “You know how much his painting is worth? He is one of the subjects in the painting class I attended.” “Well, I have more of his paintings, and you can have them too if you choose to stay here.” “Tempting, but thank yo
Alpha Knight's Cursed Mate 44
KNIGHT “I can’t stay in the pack house anymore. My unmated members keep growing. So when I saved some money, I called an architect friend of mine, and he made a plan for me.” “Do you have pack members outside the vineyards?” “Yes. They live in the city, but they come to attend meetings, holidays, or if there are special occasions like weddings or pack parties. Park here.” She pulled over the car at the harvesting area. “I’ll show you something.” We climbed out of the car. “You put on the perfect outfit.” I glanced down at her boots. “Making fun of my shoes?” “I think you look cool.” I grinned, and she frowned. “Don’t tell me you’re jealous of her?” “No, I’m not, but you’re young, attractive, successful, and single.” “Single?” I stopped and stared at her. “Are you single, Nirvana?” She rolled her eyes as she walked through the spacing. “I mean, before you introduced me. Some men in your position sleep with their secretaries. Have you?” “That’s what I like about you. You’r
Alpha Knight's Cursed Mate 45
NIRVANA “You haven’t answered my question.” He sounded pissed, so when he suggested to get out of the vineyards and drive, I didn’t resist. Irritation boiled down the surface, showing all over his face. “Nirvana, I’m not talking to myself here.” I couldn’t argue with an angry alpha, and I couldn’t tell him the truth either, at least if I could keep it to myself longer. “I heard you the first time, Knight.” Honestly, I wanted to stay, but I was not sure if we could work it out if Zarah couldn’t find a way to break the curse, and I would stay human for the rest of my life. I had already sacrificed a lot here. I left my life, my dream back in New York, left my grandfather alone to be with him. I was still not entirely sure if he would do the same if he were in my position. “And?” “Maybe I stay human forever. Are you okay with a weak human mate? I know you wished you had a mate like Shadow. Strong, powerful, gifted, and with a lot of connections, and I can’t compete.” “For fuck sak
