Alpha Knight’s Cursed Mate

KNIGHT

“I don’t trust him. After what he did to Vana, he could be one of Cyrius’s minions.”

“I don’t trust him either,” Nirvana agreed with Kailin.

“He’s telling the truth, and he’s not mine-controlled. What do you wanna do with him, Knight?”

I shrugged at Zarah. “I wanted to rip his heart out, but he’s still the head of the council, and the last thing I want is for all the werewolf council members to come after us. Cyrius is enough for an enemy. I think we should work with them.”

“You’ve got to be kidding me.” I understood why Kailin disagreed. I didn’t know if I could trust him, but he could give us what we needed.

“You should work with him. He has the resources, and they need Nirvana on their sides.”

“I still want to kill him.”

“K, me too. I just watched two men shot before me, and I’m still shaken up, and I’m still standing here.” Nirvana sighed heavily. “I don’t know if I can ever get through that trauma, but if he went through all that shit to get me, they are desperate, and I bet the entire werewolf community and the alphas are not giving them a room to breathe.”

“One thing we discussed from our meeting last week with New York and Californian packs was about the council, and from what I see, it looks like they can’t handle this war on their own.”

“I still can’t believe they went through that length to get me.” She crossed her arms over her chest. I still felt her anger and her anxiousness.

“To prove you are who they think you are, Nirvana,” Zarah said.

“Well, everyone is desperate. Dead bodies are piling up, and it’s getting difficult to hide what’s going on from humans. If this continues for another month, we’re all on the verge of getting exposed. I think I’m with Alpha. We should work with them.”

“I can’t believe you just said that, Mac. That man over there is dangerous. He knows too much.” Kailin pointed at the living room.

“What do you want us to do then, K? Execute a werewolf leader through a firing squad?”

Kailin rolled her eyes to her twin before raising a brow at Luka and Dylan. “You guys are also with Alpha?”

“No questions asked. We are wherever he is, but it depends on Vana’s decisions.”

Nirvana scoffed at something Luka’s said. “As if he allows me to decide for myself.”

“Dylan raised his hand. “Guys, I’m not exactly a member of this pack, but I support Alpha Knight. “He’s the alpha. No one should question his decisions, Nirvana.”

I looked at her intensely without a word.

She just shrugged at everyone. “I told you so.”

“It was me being offended by how you perceive my decisions, Nirvana. Don’t tell me I never let you decide on your own.”RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

“Because I didn’t give you a choice to stop me, you might as well realize I have a point. It must be hard for an alpha mated to an annoying, stubborn, defiant human. Maybe you already choked me a million times in your head.”

“That’s your opinion, not mine.” I was displeased with how she talked to me before these people who respected me and saw me as their leader. Those words coming from my Luna sent a different message to my pack. She had to be dealt with, but not today. She’d witnessed what was not supposed to be seen by someone like her. At the same time, she was still here, standing firm, dealing with this unbelievable situation with faith.

But she could not defy me too often, or my pack would lose respect for me. If I could not control my own mate, how else would I convince my people to follow my lead?

“For the love of-” Zarah pressed her lips together, her hands on her hips. “You two should invest your time in couples counseling. Set aside your differences and work on what’s imperative. Are you two like this in the bedroom?”

Nirvana’s reaction was cute, and it lit up my mood. Her cheeks flushed as she stole a glance at me. I suddenly wanted her. Our sexual tension crackled up the longer we stared at each other. “Why does it matter?”

“It matters when we’re wasting our time listening to your bullshit and continue defying your alpha’s order. You may grow up as a human but don’t get used to being independent too much. You are not the old Nirvana months ago. Here, you have the biggest duty to your pack and what’s bestowed upon you. You don’t have a choice but to take responsibility for every action you make. People are dying, and you have to remember that.”

She went silent for a while while everyone was waiting for her reply until Zack came in.

“Should I come back later?”

“No. Join us.”

“We can’t stay longer since the situation seemed under control. We’ve monitored movements, and those people have been retreating. The perimeters are clear.”

“You’re leaving already?”

“Yeah. I’m babysitting the princess.”

Zarah chuckled. “Don’t ever let her hear you say that, Zack.”

“Thank you for being here.” I went to him to shake his hand, as did Tor and Lyon. “I wish you could stay even for a day.”

“We’re also guarding the compound. Thanks for the invite and trust, Alpha,” Lyon said as he gripped my hand firmly.

“You can call us anytime you need an extra hand, Alpha Knight.” Tor was mated to a witch, Zarah’s apprentice.

They were trustworthy, and I had no doubt they would protect my mate when the time came. They were the last ones to leave. The guys from Alpha Grady and additional men from Alpha Ryden left after dinner.

“Maybe sooner than I thought. Zarah will send you back to the compound. Tell Califf I owe him one.”

“See you all soon, guys.”

Nirvana came to fist-bump with these guys. “Be careful out there.”

When they left through the portal, I finalized my decisions. “We’re gonna work with the council, but with conditions.”

“Then you should lay down your conditions to Victor,” Zarah said.

“That’s the plan.” I went to the living room, where Kaleb and my uncle sat with Victor.

“We’re going to work with you, but my mate won’t take orders from you. It will be team decisions.”

“We’re not leaving the vineyards,” Nirvana told him truthfully, confusing him. Then she told him the shorter version, “Cyrius is after this area. This is the center of the source of any witch or warlock power.”

“Fascinating. You have all the resources from the council, but I will have people to work with you. They could be-”

“Cold, distant, ruthless? I think I just met one. We can deal with someone like him.”

“Good, but you know what you are signing up for, Nirvana.”

“Do I have a choice?” she said dryly.

“What is he talking about?”

“Cyrius won’t only after her, but after what’s inside her. And if he gets closer to Nirvana, he can drain her power and be invincible.”

“I know that, but there’s something you’re not telling us,” I pressed, frowning.

“Yes. Nirvana might get killed.”

My heart nearly stopped, and I couldn’t take much of this shit. Nirvana just rolled her eyes at Victor, and I felt like someone ran me over with a road roller.

“Then I should kill him first,” she said sternly, though I was not entirely convinced. There is something more to it than what they let on.

“Nirvana?” I called her name, and it came out breathless.

“This is entirely expected and given when going to war, especially when your enemy is as powerful as Cyrius. Everyone might not come back, but we hope we will. We just have to do our best and fight for the people we love.”

She took me all into her mouth. My tip nudged her throat. Despite almost gagging, she relaxed and breathed through her nose. It felt like a fucking wild dream, but I knew it was happening. She settled between my legs, and I watched her head bob up and down as she sucked me with a moan.

If this was her of apologizing, how could I decline it?

As the intense sensation blew my mind, I groaned as I gripped a handful of her hair. She didn’t need guidance; she was perfectly fine and doing a pretty bang-up job. I thought she had done it many times if I hadn’t known I was her first.

When she moaned again into my dick, I threw my head back. My eyes widened, and she began cupping and massaging my balls with a perfect suction around my cock.

“Fuck.” I growled out a curse, stars flashing behind my eyes. Between the deep sucking of her lips, the swirling of her tongue, and the vibration she made from her moan, I was near to my orgasm. I felt my dick swelled in her mouth, but she didn’t stop despite tears forming in her eyes.

Watching her alone giving me pleasure with her mouth stretching and her cheeks hollowing was the best feeling ever that she went beyond her limit to pleasure me, and it was priceless.

She let go of my cock with a pop. “You don’t like it.”

“Only a stupid man would not feel honored with what you’re doing, Nirvana.”

“A simple yes or no would suffice, Alpha.” She made a long lick from the base to the tip. My cock jerked against her tongue.

“I fucking enjoy it.”

“Of course you do. I can feel it. Your thoughts are on cloud nine.”

I stared down at her, stroking me with her palm. “Since when did you become chatty?”

She licked her lips and smirked. “Frustrated much?”

“Yes!” My reply was an act of desperation. I wanted to come in her mouth, but she tortured me and delayed my orgasm. “Please?”

Her mouth returned to my dick, one hand cupping my balls, the other stroking me. It didn’t take long, and I was pushing her head down, letting me take all of me to the base.

With a hoarse growling, I convulsed to my orgasm as an intense pleasure rippled through me. I kept jerking and jerking while Nirvana licked me dry to its last drop.

I was still breathing hard when a link got through me, making me groan in frustration.

It was Kaleb reaching out. “Someone at the gate demanding talking to you.”
