Alpha Knight's Cursed Mate 64
KNIGHT My head snapped at Zarah. “You don’t have any idea of what I feel right now. Of all people who have lived longer, you should know what losing a mate does to someone.” “We don’t have much time,” said the stranger. “How do I know it’s you? We buried you a long time ago. You could be Cyrius, for all I know.” “Ask your witch.” He turned his head to Zarah and offered his hand. “Go ahead.” Glaring, Zarah took his hand. She gasped and stilled for a moment before she let his hand go. “You’re Sophie’s great-grandfather?” “Yes, it seems he is,” Case said. And here I thought he was dead a long time ago.” “I didn’t die. It was another body glamoured as me.” “Then where the hell have you been all these years? Why should I trust you to bring my grandchild back?” “The moment Ophelia was born, I knew someone would always get interested in our family gift and suffer the family curse. Can we talk later? I want to save my great-great-granddaughter, and I have the man who helped find her.
Alpha Knight's Cursed Mate 65
NIRVANA “Wait. Are you my great-great-grandfather? My mom’s great-grandfather. Whoa. That’s cool. How old are you exactly?” “I’m Ambrose, little one.” My gaze landed on my dead ex-boyfriend. “Is that?” Warlock Ambrose, or my great-great-grandfather, just waved his hand, and my ex, that son of a bitch, just vanished. “Where did he go?” “It’s not important right now, Nirvana. How are you feeling?” asked Knight. I sat on the bed and held his hand. “Why are you looking at me like I just died and brought back to life, and now you look at me as if I vanish if you blink?” “That’s exactly how I feel. I can’t lose you again, Nirvana. Can you be a little serious right now?” “I’m so sorry.” I breathed deeply because what I was about to say might shock them or piss them off. “I’m feeling okay like before. I died, did I?” I looked at their reactions, and they just stared at me like I was some kind of magical creature. “Medically, yes, but magically, you did not die. Your breathing and yo
Alpha Knight's Cursed Mate 66
NIRVANA When Ambrose turned to me, I froze for a moment. “What?” “Your grandfather raised you well, but he’s too lenient. What do these kids say nowadays? Don’t be a pain in his arse.” I grinned like crazy. “So, what now, if I may ask?” Kailin said. “You all will face a lot of challenges, but use your brain and your heart instead of the animal inside you. You may have to make impossible choices, placing everyone else over yourself. That’s how you win the war. And it’s coming sooner than I expected.” “You’re scaring me. What are we up against?” “I won’t tell you that. You figure out yourself, and you will do good things than you can ever imagine if you only follow the right path.” His words gave me goosebumps. Whatever it was, it made me nervous. “So your gift, you can also see the future like my mother?” “No. You won’t get that either.” “What? So, will I stay like this, a human, for the rest of my life? Because I’m cool with that. It’s hard to shift naked, you know.” Knight
Alpha Knight's Cursed Mate 67
NIRVANA “So you’re leaving tonight? That can’t wait until morning.” I was still not ready for Ambrose to go. I still had a lot of unanswered questions, and I wanted to get to know him. “I can’t stay, young one. You have Zarah to guide you and answer your questions.” I sighed. “Thank you for everything. For giving me back my life.” “You earn it. As they say, you only live once, but be careful out there.” I smiled and found myself hugging him. “You too, take care.” “How do you go from here?” Knight asked. “I can send you wherever you go,” McKaye volunteered. “I appreciated the offer, but I can take it from here.” He stepped out of the house with his cane until I watched him disappear into the dark. Once he was gone, I felt suddenly sad. We went back inside in the living room. “I have to go, too,” Shadow said. “I may not be able to heal you, but I’m glad you trust me enough.” “Are you kidding me? You, being here is enough for me. I’m eternally grateful.” I hugged her. “I’ll se
Alpha Knight's Cursed Mate 68
NIRVANA I yelped. My eyes went wide. My heart pounded frantically in my chest. “What happened?” I stared at Zarah for seconds because I didn’t know how to explain it. “I don’t exactly know.” “Close your eyes and focus.” “Okay.” I took deep breaths and let it go through my mouth. I suddenly saw flowers in the pot. I felt it against my fingertips, the fresh air against my skin. I was about to touch another flower— a hydrangea, but I was back in the room. “Zarah!” I fell, landing on my back, reaching for her hand. “What the hell?” “Ouch.” I rubbed my spine, wincing in pain. “What the hell was that?” Zarah laughed, shaking her head. I’d never seen her laugh, but she was so beautiful and young. “I was here sitting. The next second, I saw flowers in the pot. I don’t know the name of the small red flowers. Then I was about to touch a hydrangea, and I was back in the room, falling on my ass, Zarah. What the hell was that?” “Don’t ask me. You did it yourself,” she said proudly. It w
Alpha Knight's Cursed Mate 69
NIRVANA I had the longest shower in history. In fact, I lost myself in the mist. I could still be there if Knight hadn’t knocked on the door. “I’m done.” I stepped out and wrapped myself in a towel. I found myself staring at the mirror. I looked the same, except the irises in my eyes were slightly lighter. It was probably from the light in the bathroom because I felt the same. “You okay?” Knight came beside me. I knew he was just concerned. After what I had been through, cheating death, I should have been horrified that magic could cheat beyond my understanding. If dying and getting saved by a master warlock counted as unnatural, then I was not a normal human being anymore. I squinted my eyes as I looked at him in the mirror. “If you’ll ask me one more time, I swear I’m gonna punch your nose.” He smiled. “We don’t have to be violent tonight. I’m just checking up on you. Anyway, I brought your clothes here. You said you didn’t want someone touching your things, so they’re still
Alpha Knight's Cursed Mate 70
NIRVANA “I’m sorry.” He sighed deeply. “The food is here. Let’s go before the pizza gets cold.” Guys were already in dining, waiting for us to join them. “Sorry for letting you wait.” “We just came back. The food is still warm,” MacKaye said. “And before we start, I just wanna say thank you for everything, for being here for your alpha when I couldn’t.” When they nodded and felt grateful, I added, “And please, no more asking me if I’m okay. I’ll let you know if I feel weird or being possessed by the great evil warlock.” “How can you tell if you’re being possessed?” Zarah chortled as she took a seat across the table. “When you wouldn’t know what you’re doing anymore. Let’s have dinner.” Knight put two slices of pepperoni pizza on my plate, a slice of garlic bread, and a small calzone before he got himself the same as mine. “I might have to leave tomorrow, honey.” “Why so soon, Grandpa?” “I can’t leave the restaurant. I’m sure you have things to do.” “You can just call Zarah
Alpha Knight's Cursed Mate 71
NIRVANA “Fuck,” he cursed under his breath as he realized what he did. His eyes began to glow. I froze, placing my hand on his chest. “Calm down. It’s fine. It doesn’t hurt, and it didn’t bleed.” He looked at my neck. “I’m so sorry. I never lost control like that.” “Maybe we both need that.” I patted the spot where he bit me. It stung a little, but that was it. I was more horny and unsated. “No, sweetheart.” His voice came out a growl, full of regrets. “I could have hurt you. And you don’t heal fast.” I chuckled. “You don’t want them to see your bite on my neck?” “Fuck, I want to, but when we do the mating. Not like this.” Arching my brows, I teased him. “So what are we exactly doing?” “I ruined it, didn’t I?” I cupped his face when I felt the guilt in his words, gauging his tone. “No. Never.” He got off me and moved to his side, but he still pulled me into his arms. “Next time, tell me to stop.” “Maybe I didn’t want to,” I teased further. “I know this is not the right t
