His Cursed and Forgotten Mate

Chapter 1

(Zephyr POV)

(14 years ago)

"An-Andrews ...." my voice cracked as I let out another cry. "He-help... Please...."

My voice was barely above a whisper. I was still weak and my body kept on refusing to obey me. It felt like shutting down.

"Zee", I looked down at my mate, whose eyes kept closing. His breath was heavy and he kept groaning in pain.

"Don't worry... Help is co-coming" I cried as he nodded his head. My eyes widened as his body dropped weakly. "Andrew? Andrew!!"

Why was he not waking up!?

I cried, looking around.

"HELP!! PLEASE, SOMEONE!! ANYONE!!!" I screamed the best I could.

Suddenly, my head snapped to the left.

Footsteps!

"Here! Someone help! Please!" I shouted, hoping they would come my way.

A few seconds later, shadows started to appear from afar. Familiar faces stopped a few feet away from us.

The woman in the front screamed before running to us.

"Get away from my child!! You....! You killed him! You killed my child!" the woman pushed me away and I stumbled back groaning at the pain in my body.

"You monster!"

The king walked forward before taking his 12 year old into his arms, the queen crying and calling for his son to wake up.

I looked at my shaking hands. They were covered in blood. I could still feel the uncontrolled power inside my blood.

"I told you to order her to not come near my child! Now, look what happened! This... this cursed monster!"

Hearing those words, I looked at the people with scared wide eyes.

A cursed child. An abomination. A killer just like her mother. The one who killed her own father!

Voices once again started to fill my head. I cried harder and covered my head.

"Guards, kill this monster! Kill her!" The king shouted as I looked up with fearful eyes.

I.... I didn't do it on purpose! I lost control! I would never hurt my prince!

He was the only one who would talk to me! The only one who treats me like I am not invisible? He called me his princess! But... but, H-he..... He was hurt because of me. Because of my stupid cursed uncontrolled powers!!

"Chase her out! She is cursing the village! She hurt our prince! Her own mate! She had already killed her father! Who knows who she will kill?"

The people started to mutter as the warriors took a few steps toward me.

I am sorry, Andrews! We promised we would protect each other! I broke my promise and hurt you!

At that very moment, no one was there to take my side. I am alone in this world. I lost my parents and now I am going to lose the one I finally thought I would be happy with.

I used my powers to push away all the guards. I ran into the dark forest, not knowing what to do next. I could hear the sound of the warrior's footsteps getting closer.

"Find the freak and kill her! It was a mistake making her live for a long time!"

I hid behind the trees, trying my best to catch my breath. I covered my mouth to make sure I didn't make a sound. Once the voices of the warriors died down, I went out of my hideout.

Grasp!

I screamed as someone grabbed hold of my wrist but a hand covered my mouth.

"It's me!"

"Uncle Matt!" I cried as I turned and hugged him tightly. Tears started to flow down my eyes and I clasped his clothes tight. "I didn't mean to! I d-didn't... I"

"Shhh, it's ok. I know. But you can't stay here. Run. I don't care where, but run as far as you can. I am sure you can get into some rogue pack. Please don't come back. If you do, I will have to kill you."

I stepped back, looking at the man in front of me with wide eyes. He was my father's best friend, the only person who treated me with kindness other than Prince Andrews.

"Go" this time his voice was void and I felt a tint of fear inside me. "I am doing this for you father but...." he paused midway and I didn't need him to finish it.

"Tell Andrews I will find him."

"No. You will not find him. Don't come back to him. We want him to live. With you...."

My heart shattered to pieces as I heard those words. Does he believe I am a curse as well?

"f*****g run"

I wiped my tears, ground my teeth. His sword was drawn out and under the dark moonlight, I couldn’t see his clear expression.

"Go" this time his voice was dark and I turned, running away as fast as my small legs could carry me.

I didn't know how long I was running but an arrow shot into my shoulder and I screamed, tumbling down the hill.

I cried as I grabbed the arrow that pierced into my shoulder. I ground my teeth as I pulled it out.

I looked at the arrow feeling hopeless. I wanted to end this! I am cursed and I will forever be alone. Whenever someone gets close to me, they get hurt by me.

I turned the arrow and pointed it to my stomach.

My hand shook at the very thought, but then I took a deep breath before pushing it towards me. But at that very moment, the arrow in my hand disappeared.

No... It turned to dust.

"What do you think you are doing?"

My head snapped in the direction of a voice. A woman, tall with brown hair and blue eyes raised one of her eyebrows at me.

"How old are you? Aren't you like 7?"

"I am 10"

"Still, you are a bit too young to get fed up with life. Trying to stab yourself with an arrow. What were you thinking?"

I stared at the woman who walked toward me. I moved back as he sat on the ground in front of me.

"I don't have anyone, so why should I live?"

The woman acted like she was in deep thought before looking at me with a smile.

"Then do you want to come with me?"

My eyes widened as I looked at the woman in front of me.

"I will hurt you". I couldn’t help but let out a whimper, remembering about all the disasters I had.

"Ahh. That can be understood. You are like me"

I frowned, confused at what she was saying.

"I own an organization for special people like you and me" she paused for a moment, giving me time to grasp the sentence.

"Special people?"

"Yes, special people. There, we will train you to control your power and use it for the greater good. The only thing is that we will remain loyal and consider each other as family. So what do you say?"

I looked at the hand that was extended toward me.

Maybe it was because I had nowhere to go. Maybe it was because I hoped I would turn out for something better.

I accepted her hand.

(PRESENT)

Years have passed since then. Today I am 24 years old. The woman who took me in, acted as my mother. She personally trained me and helped me get stronger.

Now I am the leader of one of the strongest teams in the organization with over 50 successful missions. I go by the code name "Moon Slayer" because I am ruthless when it comes to missions. I became strong and independent, a woman who would never show fear.

But today the shield I made shattered. Something I had hoped never happened had happened. The one thing I wanted to avoid hit me hard.

After 14 years, I met him.

His touch was soothing. I felt the same insane and immense spark.

He looked handsome and mature, unlike the noisy child who would pull me around. His forest green eyes, which I had missed, looked at me with confusion and curiosity.

As I expected, he doesn't remember me. I knew his parents would seal his memories, but damn it! When he asked my name, I felt the whole world shattered.

But what shocked me was how he didn't claim me as his mate. It didn't take long to understand that he couldn’t feel the sparks and feeling I was feeling. I can't believe they sealed that as well!

But I guess it's for the better.

Tomorrow we will send him back to his kingdom and I will go back to being the killer I live as. The short meeting we had will be engraved in my heart and I will be happy knowing he will do well.

That's right. It's better this way.

As long as he doesn't get hurt. As long as he is safe.
