My Cursed Mate

Injurious stretched his neck and flexed it from left to right as he approached the woman who was lying face down on the floor. He crouched and got ahold of the woman’s hair before pulling it hard which made Sophia scream in pain.

“You dare slap and raise your voice at me. How audacious.” Injurious leaned on her ear before he slammed her face directly on the floor.

Sophia groaned in pain and all the sassy words she was about to tell him disappeared at the taste of her own blood in her mouth. Injurious did not stop there though, he slammed her head a couple of times before he decided to stop.

The off-white colored floor was stained with blood. Sophia remained still and not even a twitch could be seen from her body. Her face became unrecognizable but Injurious did not care. He strode back to the sofa and took a seat. Now that everything was silent, he could finally enjoy the night without worries.

By midnight, a dark puddle appeared not far from where Injurious was seated followed by the emergence of Grim’s body double covered by a dark wisp. The body on the floor caught the doll’s attention. “You’ve killed her.” It was not a question and it was not a surprise because Injurious was extremely short tempered so people with the woman’s attitude all ended dead whenever the man loses his cool.

Another dark puddle appeared beside Grim followed by the appearance of a female doll. Its body was black and it was devoid of a face. In Injurious’s opinion it was more like a mannequin than a doll. Without looking in their direction, Injurious raised his hand and made a sound using his snap. A dark snake flew towards the doll and occupied its body. It then started to walk to the dead woman’s body.

The doll stood motionless. Injurious extended his hand towards the doll’s direction with his palms opened upward and the doll started to float up. Its position was also changed and now it was lying on its back as it floated. The spell caster then reversed his hands position and now his palm was facing down. He then motioned his hand in a downward action in sync with the doll’s body.

As the doll touched the woman’s body, it started to melt and cover Sophia’s body. The black liquid wriggled and enclosed it, not even a lock of hair amiss. Once the body was fully coated, Injurious snapped his fingers and the transformation began.

Both of them observed as the melted doll molded itself into becoming Sophia. The loud cracking of bones as the black doll slowly stood up while the bones were getting aligned filled the room. A few minutes later, the doll completely turned into Sophia.

“One problem solved.” Grim muttered before he turned around and went to the room where Vega was being kept. Injurious followed behind.

Just as it was predicted, the man was covered in a thin silvery film that gave the illusion of him glowing a silvery light. Velos was right, the moon goddess did have a special preference for the man. Grim’s body double floated towards the man. It extended its hand but before he could even touch the silver film, it was already repelled and was also damaged.

Injurious hummed after seeing the result. He then walked back and forth around the room with his eyes still on Vega. After a while, opened his palm and a white cloth appeared on it. Gently, he tossed the cloth towards Vega and manipulated like what he did when he abducted the man.

Easily and smoothly, the white cloth clung to Vega without experiencing any repulse from the protective barrier covering him. Seeing that the white cloth was not destroyed, he came to a conclusion.

“That silver film only repels darkness or anything related to darkness.” He summoned back the white cloth as it disappeared into his palm once again. “Things that are untainted and pure can be used to handle him.”

“How troublesome.” Grim turned around and left the room.

Injurious looked at Vega once more before he followed the man to the living room. “Do you have any news for me?”

Grim stopped. “That vampire is here. She will definitely start working with that pack.”

This news piqued the other man’s interest. “Interesting. She had been hunting for years now and I wasn’t allowed to play with her.”

“Make sure that you kill her. Once she dies, her coven will follow.” Grim gave the man another look, “Take care of our guest. Be sure to give him a warm welcome.”Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

The man then disappeared in another dark puddle leaving Injurious in that room. Looking at the new Sophia, Injurious commanded it to go to the woman’s room and wait there. He also instructed the impostor to do a good job and be Sophia Reiner.

He did not leave immediately after settling the matter. He waited for the sunrise and sat on the same spot to watch it. The woman has a good taste in selecting a room and he was there to thoroughly enjoy it. The first lay of sunlight penetrated the glass window and slowly made its way to where he was.

The moment those warm light touched his skin, it started to sizzle and emit a dark smoke. The skin of his face that was exposed to the sunlight turned black and fall off leaving only his bones intact. He closed his eyes and enjoyed the feeling of warmth in his already rotting body.

After bathing in sunlight, the curtains fell down and plunged the room into darkness. His skeleton face slowly fleshed out and returned to its former appearance. Sharp jaws, defined nose, flawless skin, his captivating eyes and even his red lips were all back to normal.

He then stood up and went back to check on Vega. The man was still unconscious which indicates that the dark snake was doing its job. This was good. With the white cloth, he once again covered Vega and in an instant they both disappeared with no traces left behind. The room returned to normal like nothing happened and even the messy blood in the living room was wiped clean.

That morning, Sophia woke up and acted normal. She did her normal routine and acted as the original Sophia would. Everything was going according to plan. Although this was not enough to deceive them for long, it still worked to the advantage of the enemy because right at that moment, Kazandra and the others had no idea of what happened.

Kazandra finally woke up from her self-imposed silence and gathered herself. It was not like her to act weak. She might have lost her wolf and status as the most powerful luna, she was still the same Sangria before. If she wanted anything she could obtain it and she already promised herself that she would protect Vega with her life.
