Alpha Knight's Cursed Mate 123
KNIGHT “The Excalibur,” I muttered under my breath. “Thor’s Mjölnir,” said Kailin. “No,” Chance replied. Grunted, Nirvana let the dagger and glared at Chance. “You have to give it to me, haven’t you?” “Yes.” “Wait a sec. Why can you hold the dagger without hurting yourself?” Nirvana asked. That was an excellent question. “Remember what I told you about a few people secretly tasked to protect something with their lives, the Keepers? Just like Case, he is tasked and responsible for protecting the key, and I am tasked to keep the journal by birthright, and Chance’s job is to give the dagger to the last female Katzius’ descendant,” Dylan explained. “That makes sense,” Luka said. “Well, it’s been an honor having this dagger with me for almost a century and a half since my father passed it on to me. It’s yours now, Nirvana.” He took my mate’s hand and placed the dagger on her palm. “Protect this with your life and use it to do good.” “Thank you.” She grasped it, and something just
Alpha Knight's Cursed Mate 124
NIRVANA “Oh, my God.” Air stuck in my lungs as I stared at the giant wolf in front of our vehicle. His eyes were pitch black, snarling at us, drooling in black blood. We had two problems. We couldn’t drive to the other line, or the wolf would throw us off the bridge. If we ran it over, it would damage the car, and if the wolf would not die, it would kill us all. Then, we had to walk if we could not find a passing vehicle. “What should we do now? We can’t run over a wolf or change lanes.” Exactly. “Stay in the car, Luka—” “Wait.” Knight was instantly alarmed. “What are you going to do? You can’t fight that wolf, or you get infected if you get bitten, or maybe the scratch is also infectious.” “I know. I’ll be careful.” “No, Knight.” I grabbed his arm. “I’ll run to the woods and let it follow me.” “Are you insane?” The way Kailin looked at me, she thought I was out of my mind. Maybe I was, but I could teleport. “How many werewolves are we in this car? We even have a Lycan royalt
Alpha Knight's Cursed Mate 125
NIRVANA I was back to the place where it all started. Where I first met Cyrius, how he showed me everyone I loved died. It was painful, and I was hopeless. And then he appeared. “I’ve shown you, your future— how it will end. Resisting against me, you know you can’t win, Nirvana. Come and join me, and see how your future changes, just the way you’ve ever dreamed, having family and kids—” I felt extreme fear again as I watched the future, losing hope. “Over my dead body! You can stop spreading your tentacles, asshole. You won’t get what you want. Even if you will kill everyone I love, I will find a way to kill you.” “You had your chance.” “Fuck you!” I jolted to sit, my heart galloping in my chest. I realized I was still in the vehicle, and we hadn’t arrived at Inverness. “Whoa.” I thought it came from Kailin. “What’s wrong?” I saw their worried face. “You must be dreaming. You just cursed in your sleep,” Knight said. He still looked hurt. I knew he cared about me, but I was mor
Alpha Knight's Cursed Mate 126
NIRVANA “That dream I had, it was where I badly hurt. I don’t know, a gut feeling, I guess. I don’t wanna risk the people there.” “Don’t worry. We’re fifty miles away from Inverness. By then, Zarah will be done with the meeting with her coven.” Later in the afternoon, we finally arrived at the Inverness. We entered the pub, and most customers were local humans. I couldn’t feel other supernatural beings but us. “Where’s your friend, Alpha?” Knight asked. “He’ll be here, but Kain is always on time.” He looked at the time on his watch as we took a table while Luka, Dylan, and McKaye took another table. “I wanna drink Scotch.” “You don’t look twenty-one, Nirvana,” Knight whispered, amused. “Really? The last time I checked, Scots can start drinking at eighteen. Then you shouldn’t be sleeping with me.” I put my hand on his thigh, slowly tracing up just below his crotch. “Not funny.” We ordered drinks and the rest of the guys. Before our order arrived, Sebastien said, “Something
Alpha Knight's Cursed Mate 127
KNIGHT “Are you going to ignore me the whole time?” We were all exhausted, but we were finally back at the vineyards, and I didn’t want Nirvana to stay angry at me. So far, she was doing a great job of ignoring me. “I need to talk to Kailin. I’ll see you later.” She just took off her jacket and went to the door. “Nirvana, you’re not leaving this room until we talk.” It was not a request but an order. Her head snapped in my direction, her eyes narrowing. “What are you going to do?” “We’ll talk.” “I don’t wanna talk, okay? Not now. I’m tired and need a good friend, and you’re definitely not my friend right now.” “I already apologized.” “Did you? First and foremost, I’m an adult. I’m not your wife. Yes, I’m your mate, but you can’t tell me what to do.” “I don’t want you getting hurt, and we’re not even close to ending this madness. We don’t have a vaccine or a cure for this black virus, and if you get hurt, what will happen to our mission? It’s over, Nirvana. We can’t do it wit
Alpha Knight's Cursed Mate 128
NIRVANA “Who has his number? This has to end today.” Knight was shaking in anger. “You can’t do this out of anger. Let that emotion calmer, and then we can make a plan to deal with this.” I knew what it was like to feel violated and disrespected. “This is our fault, Alpha Knight,” West finally said. “I will do whatever they want just to stop harassing us.” “You will not do such a thing. Travis is an arrogant son of a bitch, and if they think they can scare us because they have guns, they just make their biggest mistake. This can’t go on. It has to end today, and they shouldn’t have laid their hands on both of you.” “What are you going to do, Knight?” He looked at me. “What I should have done a long time ago when they started bullying the twins. I gave them a chance, and they came for us. Now, I have to eliminate one problem at a time.” “I went scouting outside the nightclub. I think they don’t do business transactions there anymore. I couldn’t follow up where they transferred
Alpha Knight's Cursed Mate 129
NIRVANA Travis’s house was in the uphill, and no one seemed home. It was past eight in the evening when we arrived by foot at his property. It was actually lovely. I didn’t know bikers could earn pretty good, but a part of me knew what kind of business his father had. They dealt with illegal fighting clubs and probably drugs, as well. We began climbing the walls while McKaye was handling the electrical power and alarm system. “Stay with me all the time,” Knight said to our link. “I have no plan improvising, Alpha. We stick to the plan.” I followed him as the lights turned off from the house. I wouldn’t ask how Knight owned a smart unlocking device, but I thought it was impressive. I heard the door unlock. We got inside the house while McKaye, Luka, Maddox, Kaleb, Dylan, and the twins had planned on their own. “I can’t see anything,” I complained because werewolves in wolf forms could see in the dark. “You can, but don’t use your power.” “Only when I need it. Got it. Where is
Alpha Knight's Cursed Mate 130
KNIGHT “Is everyone accounted for?” We got back to the curb, where we parked the vehicle. I was still pissed that I didn’t have the opportunity to sink my claws into Travis’s jugular, but if he did not learn from what we did tonight, I would kill him myself the next time he tried sending his message again. “Yes. We’re good.” McKaye was the last one to enter the SUV. “I should have killed that son of a bitch.” “Consider this as a win. If he will try again, you don’t have to ask permission from me.” I pulled out from the curb to the main road. “I tried hard not to kill him. He deserves to die, but we have a worse enemy than a thug like Travis.” “He peed in his pants, though.” I heard the pride in West’s voice. “Yeah. He will probably have nightmares for the rest of his life.” Dylan did a high-five with West. “If only you’ve seen the living room.” Maddox shook his head in amusement. “His men were running everywhere. I say they deserved what they got. They are all sick sons of bit
