Alpha Knight’s Cursed Mate

KNIGHT

“Thank you for everything, Alpha Frye.” I reached out for a handshake.

“We did nothing, Alpha Knight. Don’t forget to reach out if you need anything; if you’re going to war, my men and I will be there behind you.” He shook my hand firmly, placing his hand on top. “I mean it, Alpha Knight. Consider us your friends.”

“That means a lot.”

“And you, young Luna. The only advice I can give you is this. If one thing can win good over evil, it is your love for the people you care about to motivate you, to keep you standing, and the sacrifice you will make for them; even a great evil would never do that.”

Nirvana hugged him and sighed. “Thank you so much.” She then went to Evelyn and hugged her.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“Don’t wait till you don’t have any more time.”

We walked out of their house filled with hope, and the wisdom they shared with us somehow lightened the heaviness in my chest.

Once we were far enough, Nirvana held me in my arms, and I felt that tingle again. This time, she did it with flying colors. We stood before the cabin.

“Now we’re talking.” I couldn’t help but laugh.

“I guess practice makes perfect. And my butt had complained of constantly falling,” she said while I was opening the door.

“When we shift, we burn too much calories. Maybe you need it too.”

“Probably.”

“But this is awesome, Nirvana.” I hugged her tight. I could sense something was troubling her. “What’s wrong?”

“I was terrified when they put us in the cave. I felt the extreme helplessness.” She took off her coat and hung it on the rack. She looked so exhausted after that she threw herself onto the couch.

I had a feeling her words meant more than she let on. I followed and sat beside her, letting her head rest on my lap. I knew a huge responsibility could burden someone, and it wasn’t just about handling a pack. The world-the underworld’s fate-lay now in her hand. If she failed, our world would be doomed.

“I know I should stop doubting myself, but what if I fail?”

“You’re not fighting that son of a bitch alone, Nirvana. I will be with you, our allies, and every last pack member. Don’t forget about that. What if your great-great-grandfather wins? Then he just saved the world.”

“What if I won’t make it back? What if I die?”

My heart felt like crushing in my chest. I knew there was a considerable possibility of hurting herself, losing in the battle, or losing the people I cared about, and I couldn’t guarantee everyone would go home. Thinking about that always terrified me and felt like stabbing my chest all over again. And losing her again would kill me and my wolf.

“Don’t ever think of leaving me.” I ran my fingers through her hair. “I know it’s selfish, and the fate of the world and underworld is in your hands, but please, come back to me. I need you.”

“Then I make sure I’m ready to face that son of a bitch,” she said confidently.

“You will train as soon as we get back home,” I said, pressing my lips against her hand. And remember, you’re not alone in this.”

“I know.” She caressed my cheek, and I still felt the heaviness in her chest. “I will make it, Knight. No matter what.”

“That’s good enough.”

“Now, let’s chill. Turn on the TV.”

I chuckled as I grabbed the remote on the coffee table and turned the TV on. “We’ll just watch TV?”

“What do you have in mind, alpha?” A wicked smile appeared on her lips.

“Once you rested, then we can talk about it.”

The breaking news flashed on the screen. “This news may be graphic and triggering. A brutal attack this morning tragically ended the lives of a family of campers hiking in the woods. It said to be an animal attack, and yet to be determined what kind of animal killed a father, forty, a mother aged 39, and children aged ten and seven.”

“What the hell?” Nirvana got up quickly, her eyes glued to the TV screen. “It’s starting.”

“Nope, sweetheart. This could be an unrelated incident.” I pulled her into my arms.

“I don’t think so, Knight. My mother told me no one knows when it happens, but signs will be obvious-unless there are wild animals or a sick werewolf out there.” She looked at me. You should call Kaleb or Luka and warn them. And maybe they’ve watched the news.”

“That’s a good idea.” I picked up my phone and dialed my beta.

Kaleb answered quickly, “Alpha, how have you been?”

“I’m good. We’re good. How’s the pack?”

“All good, but we missed you. How’s Vana?”

“She’s listening.” Nirvana just mouthed to say hi. “And she said hi to everyone. Where’s McKaye?”

“He’s training the guys. Do you have a message for him?”

“I’ll call him later. Anyway, have you seen the news?”

“Are you referring to the animal attack?” He knew. Everyone knew.

“Yes. That’s the one.”

“Yes. They blurred the shots and images, but I saw the images and video taken by a passer who posted them on TikTok. It looks like a wolf attack. Do you know there was another attack two days ago? An old couple was attacked inside the trailer house. Same M. O.”

“Where did that happen?”

“Maine.”

“I told you. That’s one of the signs,” said Nirvana silently, and she looked worried.

“We’ll be home soon. We have one more stop before we head home.”

“No problem, Knight. You both take care.”

“You tell the guys to be very careful when going out for a run. Inform the scouts to report any unwanted scents they can smell, but make sure not to let everyone panic.”

“Noted. I’ll see you both soon.”

“Where are we going?” she asked as I hung up the call.

“Oregon.”

“What’s in Oregon?”

“According to your family history, you have relatives in Portland.”

“Why haven’t I heard anything about it?”

“Case kept your bloodline a secret, remember?”

“Well. When are we leaving?”

“After I give you an orgasm.”

“That I won’t say no to.” She clung to my words. Her lips crashed against mine, all-consuming and demanding. Like a wildfire, something deep in every fiber of my being spread fast- my love for this woman, my mate.

The desires ignited as electricity of lust-fueled both of us, burning our skin, settling in our every nerve.

Back months ago, before I met Nirvana, sex was different. For me, it was just blowing off some steam, a relief to my needs. With Nirvana, sex was like a drug, an utter madness I didn’t want to end. She made me feel alive. She gave me a reason to be a good person, a leader, and a selfless lover.

We fumbled to take off our clothes, piling on the floor. Then we were back to kissing again, and it was nothing gentler- it was violent, just what we needed at this moment.

With my body burning with sensations, I sat on the couch, spread my thighs apart, and lifted her so she could straddle me.

She wrapped her hand around my hard dick, making me groan. After pumping a few strokes, she then rubbed the tip against her entrance. She was already soaking, always ready for me. My hands lifted her hips as I lowered her into my cock.

She dragged a long moan as she sunk into me, delighted, shuddering.

“Fuck, sweetheart.” I began moving my hips as she rocked into me, and I devoured her mouth like the sweetest succulent I’d ever tasted.

As her fingers clawed their way to my hair, pushing my head down, I licked my way down her chest, capturing the little dusky pink nipple into my mouth. She moaned, rocking my world. The pleasure was exquisite and mind-blowing, and her climax was just around the corner.

“Come for me, sweetheart.” Growling, I ran my tongue between the valley of her tits before I sucked another nipple.

“Yes, yes, yes. So good.” Her head fell back as she worked to her orgasm. Then I changed my pace as I fucked her hard and fast. She bounced on top of me, setting off an explosion of pleasure through her.

“Fuck!” One thrust was all it took.

My body shook as my release jutted inside her in a powerful release.
