The Case of My Missing Mate
The Case of My Missing Mate
Author: TP

Chapter 1

Author: TP
Kyle Fenwolf's fingertips brushed against my cheek. They were slightly cool. "What's wrong, Nora? You've been staring at the moon for ten minutes."

The touch pulled me out of my panic. When I looked into his amber eyes, memories came crashing back.

Kyle and I had been together for three years. Ever since he was betrayed and driven out by his own pack, Dad had never decided whether to accept him.

That was why we came back this time for the full moon ceremony. We wanted his approval… but Kyle vanished.

Everything began the moment we returned home for this very ceremony. The memories from my previous life were still painfully clear.

I just couldn't understand.

Why did Kyle suddenly vanish without a trace? Why did the pack members who saw us arrive together swear they had never seen him before? Why did Dad insist that I had never had a mate, even though Kyle and I had been together for three years?

Kyle frowned slightly, his voice gentle. "Nora, you're shaking. Are you okay?"

For the past three years, he had always taken such good care of me.

He knew nightmares regularly haunted me, so he would shift into his wolf and curl up beside me every night, using his presence to chase them away. More than a thousand nights had passed, and he had never once lost patience with me.

In my previous life, I lost my mind trying to find him after he disappeared. As much as I still couldn't comprehend what had happened, I knew I couldn't let it happen again.

Carefully, I told Kyle, "Why don't we skip the ceremony tonight and wait for the next full moon?"

He looked confused. "What, why? The pack only holds the ceremony once each season. If we miss this one, we'll have to wait another three months. Your dad already agreed to acknowledge our bond tonight. Leaving now would be disrespectful."

Kyle was right. Skipping the ceremony wasn't a good choice. Still, as soon as the memories of my previous life haunted me, a chill ran down my spine. There had to be another way.

Previously, I was thrown into the stone cell because no one could prove I ever had a mate. So, this time, I would prove that he existed.

I quickly pulled out my phone, held Kyle's hand, and began documenting. Later, I posted more than a dozen photos of us on social media, with a caption celebrating the occasion.

"On our way to the ceremony with my mate. Tonight is going to be special."

Comments began popping up almost instantly.

"Finally! Congratulations to you both!"

"Safe travels! We have to celebrate together after the ceremony!"

To be extra safe, I snapped another picture of Kyle holding his bone flute. Then, I sent it to the clan group chat. "Dad, Elder Marcus, we just entered pack territory. We'll arrive at the sacred grounds in about an hour."

Dad's response was prompt. "We're all waiting right there. The whole pack is ready to witness the bonding."

    "I didn't," I replied. "Because I know what would happen if I did."I looked straight at Lydia with a blank face. "Kyle didn't tell you, did he?"Her expression shifted instantly."If I had destroyed it, the curse would've been transferred to me," I said. "Once that happened, you'd gain nothing in return."She stared at the crystal vial, her lips quivering.At that moment, Dad and several elders hurried over. Garrett was leading the way. When he saw me, he visibly relaxed. "Nora, you're here."I handed Dad the crystal vial and told them everything—the old she-wolf, Lydia, Kyle, the other dimension, and what was truly sealed inside the vial.After hearing it all, Dad remained silent for a long time."So, what about the pack's memories?" I asked. "Will they eventually remember?"The oldest elder answered instead, "The Full Moon Erasure Spell can only last for one lunar cycle. After sunrise, the erased memories will slowly return. They might not remember Kyle tonight, but tomorro

    "It's always been here," I repeated.Kyle looked at me in silence for a moment, then let out a sigh. The smile slowly faded from his face. "When did you figure it out?""Earlier," I answered. "There's a line in the book that I didn't forget. 'If the vessel is destroyed by the hand of the cursed one's closest kin, the curse shall pass to the destroyer.' You needed me to destroy it so the curse would transfer to me."I scoffed. "By then, everyone will forget me, just like how they forgot you."He didn't deny it."Why?" I questioned.Kyle stayed silent for a long time before finally speaking, explaining, "Your dad never trusted me. For three years, he treated me like an outsider. Even if we did go through the ceremony, nothing would change. He'd never truly accept me."When the pack turned on me and kicked me out, no one could offer me help. Do you know how much I hated that?"His voice grew sharper, anger flashing across his face in a way I had never seen before."Then, you appe

    Ripples spread across the surface of the sacred spring. A moment later, the water began to glow. A powerful force surged up from the depths and pulled me in.I didn't even have time to struggle before the icy water swallowed me whole. The world around me twisted and warped. Slowly, reality faded from sight.In its place appeared a gray, empty realm. It was colorless and quiet, like a void. I had arrived in another dimension.I shifted back into human form, standing on what felt like solid ground in the middle of the void. The crystal vial was gone. I looked around desperately, with only one thought filling my mind.I had to find Kyle, recover the vial, and bring him home."Kyle!" I shouted into the emptiness. "Kyle, where are you?"I stood up and began walking forward. There was nothing here but drifting gray mist. Time felt strange, like it had stopped moving.Just as despair began creeping in, a blurry figure appeared amid the mist. My heart started pounding. I ran toward it.

    I lay awake in Lydia's guest room, too restless to sleep. Only after I was fairly sure she had dozed off did I slip quietly into the living room.I lifted the photo frame, opened the hidden compartment on the back, and saw the crystal vial resting there, still and gleaming. I reached for it, my fingertips just brushing the cool surface…"What do you think you're doing?"Lydia's voice came from behind me. I spun around and saw her standing at the top of the stairs."I knew you weren't here for good," she said, descending. "You found out, didn't you?"I took a step back, my fingers tightening around the vial, going silent.She stopped in front of me, and her eyes twisted with malice. "What makes you think you deserve Kyle? Right now, he's trapped in another dimension. Only I can reach him. Soon, he'll forget you and love me instead."I clenched my fists. "You're insane! Kyle will never love you!""Then, he shall stay there forever," she said with a sneer. "It's not like you can s

    I had to close my eyes and focus, forcing my mind to recall Lydia.Three years ago, when Kyle and I had confirmed our bond, she suddenly left the pack, claiming she was going elsewhere to study healing arts.Could she have secretly been in love with Kyle all this time? I needed to know for sure.I sprinted toward Lydia's home, on the eastern side of the pack territory. As I approached, a light glowed from the first-floor window. I crept silently to the window and peered through the narrow gap in the curtains.Inside the living room, Lydia sat on the couch. Several books lay open on the table, their covers etched with runes that I couldn't understand. A black wooden box rested nearby—a tool of dark magic.So, it was her! Lydia cast the spell!I waited for a few minutes. She finished her drink, stood up, and headed toward the stairs.Seizing the opportunity, I slipped inside her house and moved quickly to the table. I grabbed the books and flipped through them, searching for anyth

    The stone cell was pitch black. I sank against the wall, my mind a maelstrom. Where had Kyle gone?I replayed every moment repeatedly.When the ground shook, he had been right beside me, only to vanish into thin air the next second. Every trace of his existence had been erased, and the pack's memories had been altered.Clearly, someone was deliberately erasing Kyle. But who and why?A rustling sound came from the darkness. I shot up, every sense on high alert. "Who's there?"There was no answer, just the sound growing closer, mixed with heavy, labored breathing.Suddenly, glowing eyes appeared in the blackness. It was the mad wolves, the very same creatures who had torn me apart to death in my previous life.As they crept closer, I instantly shifted into my wolf and bared my fangs. Then, one lunged. I twisted to dodge, but the space in the cell was too tight. Another claw raked across my leg, tearing a gash.It was then that a raspy, old voice echoed from the depths of the cell
