My Cursed Mate

A gloomy weather and a dark sky met Kazandra when she woke up after that short sleep. It felt good that even the world was sympathizing with her. It was her only consolation in this time that she doesn’t have anyone to be with her.

She looked out into her vast lands and found peace in the silence that it offered. Recently, it has been raining in Zaithan and it only made her mood down. If not for Vega’s arrival, she might have remained lonely but now that he was gone, she felt even more alone.

Kazandra sighed and returned to her room. She was not in the mood to go to work. Now that Vega was not there with her, her home felt even more spacious. The house was not that big and with two floors only but when she got used to living with someone, she missed their presence even more once they were gone.This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

The silence was ringing in her ear and all she wanted to do was shut it off but she couldn’t. She did not have a place to go. All she wanted was to be where Vega was. That’s all she wished. Remembering the past made her longing even more painful.

She was wallowing in her own world when she heard it. A loud crash downstairs. She woke up from her daze and ran towards the stairs. What she saw set off all the alarm in her mind and fueled her adrenaline. Anathos was fighting several people in pure black clothing in the living room. He was a good fighter from Ingrid’s coven but against a number of opponents, it would be impossible to survive unscathed.

The sound of vases and furniture getting destroyed in the fight filled the house. Kazandra turned back and ran towards the cabinet on the hallway where several antique plates and vases were displayed. She removed one plate which triggered a mechanism behind the cabinet and split it in two which revealed a secret compartment full of guns.

She was not a werewolf and she did not have supernatural powers now so she sought a different way of protecting herself and using guns were one of them. It was quite effective since she could modify the bullets according to who she was fighting.

She picked up a rifle and two handguns that were placed on a gun holster that was also there. She quickly placed the holster on her waist and carried the rifle to the balcony just beside the stairs. With the help of the railing, where she placed the gun, she carefully but precisely aimed at the enemies.

She fired the first shot which hit one of the enemies right at the center of its forehead. The man that was covered in black cloth fell to the floor and dissipated into the air. Another shot and the other one also disappeared without a trace.

Anathos looked up and gave his employer a nod. Kazandra raised her hand before holding the gun once again. Several more shadow men came and she made it her mission to destroy them all. Before any of them could get close to Anathos, she would pull the trigger and kill them. Her bodyguard slash driver took that moment to climb up the stairs to support her. The first floor was already surrounded and they couldn’t use that as an escape.

“We need to leave ma’am. We can’t stay here. They already killed all the wolves that were stationed around the property. The only people left in this place are us and them.” Anathos informed her the moment he reached the top of the stairs.

“Wolves? Why would there be wolves on my property?” Kazandra was confused. She did not know that there were wolves on her property.

“I am not sure about the details but we need to leave. We can’t stay here.” Anathos went straight to the cabinet where the guns were stored and picked out several.

“Let’s go.” Kazandra pulled back and they both ran towards her room. Her balcony has a stair that leads out of the house.

Anathos let her take the lead while he made sure that there were no enemies after them. Kazandra was already halfway down when he followed. She was only in her thin nightgown and didn’t even have her slippers on when they left. Noticing this, Anathos removed his jacket and handed it to the woman.

They ran away from the house but after a few meters a man in all black blocked their way. On both of his sides there were a number of shadow men. Kazandra already recognized who it was. Grim had been waiting for her. It has been a long time and now it is over.

“You won’t be able to run away from me.” Grim declared in his deep voice.

“Then come at me,” Kazandra smirked. She was not afraid of the man because she knew that as long as she was under her curse, she wouldn’t die.

Grim ordered the shadow men to attack. They all went for Kazandra but the woman did not flinch. She pulled the two hand guns from their holster and pointed it at the oncoming enemies without a second thought. She pulled the trigger.

The sound of the gun echoed in her property but the shadow men kept attacking. With Grim on that side, there were infinite numbers of shadow men. She looked at Anathos then she looked at the enemy in front of her. She was about to run out of bullets and yet the number of their enemies were not dwindling.

She took a deep breath before she made the choice to return the guns in their holster. She then pulled the knives behind her back and engaged in a short-range combat. Kazandra faced the enemies and slashed from left to right. Her stabs were precise and did not leave any room for the enemy to retaliate as they all immediately turned into ashes.

While making her way towards the dummy body of Grim, she got hit a few times by the enemy. Her clothes were torn and gashes appeared on her skin. Blood started to trickle down on her skin but she did not care. Her main goal was to destroy the dummy and cut off the contact between Grim and the shadow men.

Anathos did his best to assist her but the number of shadow men increased and swarmed them. Along the way, Kazandra gave up on defending and just attacked them with all her might. The jacket that Anathos gave her was already torn into pieces. Her face wasn’t spared. A long gash ran through her face when she failed to defend against multiple attacks.

The wound started to block her vision and without her special abilities that she had in the past, it was difficult for her to detect where the enemies were. She stood in the middle of several shadow men with both of her hands in front of her as she tightly gripped the knives.

She closed her eyes and focused on the sound around her instead because her vision wasn’t working. A slight swish came from her right and she immediately stabbed. The enemy was hit but it was not enough to turn it to ashes. She used this tactic for a while but it proved to be useless because she couldn’t see what she was stabbing. If she couldn’t stab them in their vital points, her attacks were useless.
