Charlotte’s pov
“we got a big gig” Alexa said jumping around the restaurant and I smiled at this.
I found Alexa a few years ago.
since then we have been travelling together for years and we recently stopped at this city and opened the restaurant.
We don’t stay in one place for long and usually a year and then we move away and go somewhere else.
Because Alexa isn’t wanted by a thousand supernatural beings I do everything in her name.
the restaurant is in her name, and I handle all the accounts and the money goes to her account.
My father found her on the streets.
and we gave her dinner and from then on she just kind of grew on us and we let her stay.
She is like family to me, and I don’t know what I would do without.
she is also the face of this business because obviously I cant be.
“okay what kind of gig?” I asked her and she sat down on a chair beside me and smiled.
“a huge gig, apparently there is some meeting for big shots happening really soon. It’s a massive thing and we were asked to cater to the event” she said, and I looked at her.
“aren’t you talking about the meeting of the supernatural leaders?
If that’s the case then we need to stay as far away from that as possible” I replied.
and she looked at me and shook her head.
“this is perfect, with the money from this gig our runaway fund will be full again. we do this one gig and then we wont have to do another one ever again” she said.
I could see that she really wants to do this.
“but we need to be careful, as always you will go there and be the supervisor” I said, and she smiled.
I started looking at the contract and I couldn’t help but think about the vampire I saw years ago.
was he even a vampire or was a mistaken?
i mean he looked like one and the way he spoke.
as a kid back then i didnt suspect anything but after that it kinda made sense in a way.
and if he is one will he be there?
from the way he looked and his aura he must be someone really important.
Could he be attending this meeting as well?
I always wondered if I would see him again and I honestly think that I would love to see him again.
he was my first love even though he doesn’t know it.
does he still look as handsome as I remember?
Hell in the our world I also need to wonder if he is still alive now.
I was told to forget about him by my father.
I don’t know why but I just seem to get him out of my mind.
I closed my eyes and I see him, is he out there?
did he find the woman he was looking for?
I hope he did find her because it was clear to me that he loved her deeply.
I will pray that the two find each other.
he has been looking for her for years and the longing in his eyes was clear.
Living the life.
I am living right now will I ever find someone who longs for me that way?
I don’t think so.
I hardly have time to make friends or any connections so how will I ever find someone like that?
actually love isn’t for people like me.
I think the only friend I have made other than Alexa was the roof boy.
he was the first person to actually talk to me after what happened.
i think his name was Logan. it was so different as well.
Usually when people find me they avoid me like I am the plague.
it’s almost as if their intuition is telling them that I am person who should be avoided.
almost as if they could sense that I am bomb just waiting to explode.
that I have been marked by the devil.
I stayed the entire night and looked at the contract and everything was right, and Alexa was right.
I then went home late because of that and closed the restaurant like I always do.
“you home late” said Mary our neighbour.
she is also one of the people who really surprised me when I first moved in.
she looked at me and smiled.
She then talked about the blood mark like it wasn’t a big deal and welcomed me to the neighbourhood.
When I realised that she knew about the blood mark I wanted to run away.
but she then told me that this time I shouldn’t run.
I don’t know how she seems to know everything.
but I can feel it that she is a supernatural being like me.
she might not be a witch, or a werewolf and she is definitely not a vampire.
but she is a supernatural that I am sure of.
“yes, I have been looking at a contract. Say Mary do you know anything about the meeting of supernatural leaders?” I asked her.
“of course, they tend to go overboard of those shindigs. Why are you asking?” she asked me.
“no, I am just curious, I signed a contract with them, and I want to know if it’s a good idea” I said, and she smiled.
“you really must trust me; my answer is yes but that would be going to the lion’s Den” she answered, and I smiled.
I really do trust her.
and I can’t say why I do.
but the fact that she has known about me for months and I am still here alive and well is one of the reason I trust her.
I walked into my apartment and found Alexa sleeping on the couch and I smiled at her.
Her red hair was all over her face and her mouth was wide open,.
she is one of a kind, was abounded by her family and the only thing she remembers Is her name.
I related to her because she was like me.
but she also wasn’t like me.
she didn’t have a family just like me and she isn’t like me because she doesn’t remember.
I wish I didn’t remember about my past;
it would have been so good if I didn’t remember.
Who would want to remember the look of hate in their mother’s face??
Sebastian’s pov I waited in my office, but he took his sweet time or maybe it was because he knew he was in trouble. After a few minutes he knocked on the door, he never knocks unless he is in trouble. “come in” I said,he . alked in with his head bowed like he was some innocent boy. “don’t put on an act with me, I know you more than anyone” I said to him, and he looked up. “I didn’t mean to, it just happened and those she-wolves were throwing themselves at me” he tried to explain. Chris really is a piece of work. imagine getting a call early in the morning and being told that a guest I bought slept with 5 married women. He has been around for centuries and knows more than anyone how werewolves get when it comes to their mates. They don’t want anyone around them. they don’t like it when you look in their mate’s direction or accidentally touch. And my dear friend here had to go as far as sleep with them. I don’t have a time to fight a war with the werewolves. I am preparing
Logan Spade’s pov It took us about a few hours to get to the city. Justin was happy about the trip but not happy that I came along. It’s a good thing that our father didn’t tell him the truth. that he intended that I be the one to go and not him. “I cant wait to meet the leaders; this is the biggest meeting in history. Do you know how many powerful people will be there? and I will be one of them” he said with a grin. “well, we are going there to represent the werewolves, and some powerful Alphas will be there as well” I said to him. I get why he is excited about this. if I am being completely honest this is a rare occasion. Its hard for all the leaders to meet in one place. its because everyone isalways busy and sometimes conflict arises. so they don’t usually like being in one place. This is the one time they meet with one goal that is to ensure that the humans aren’t aware of our existence. They put measures in place to ensure that our secret existence remain that, a s
Sebastian’s pov The event as expected was too much, I had to go around and greet people which wasn’t really ideal. I mean it had three things I hate the most, people and talking. “Vampire King, its great to see you here” said the youngest Alpha Prince while his brother just looked anywhere but me. “it is great seeing you two here as well. this would also be a great time to secure new allies” I said to him, and he nodded. The Alpha King has been a useless man after his mate died. he let everything go down the drain in all these years. All the progress he has made just turned into dust. he let his people down and now they are in trouble because of his weakness. I have lost the woman I love more times than I can remember but unlike him I didn’t let my people suffer because of it. or maybe I am being a hypocrite by comparing us. his mate is gone forever, and I live with the hope that my Scarlet will come back. The truth is she always comes back and the reason I have worked so
Logan’s povI tried pinpointing the location of the scent, but it was like she was everywhere at once.If I am correct this was a spell that witches used back in the day to confuse their enemies.Since werewolves and vampires have heightened sense of smell it was easier for us to locate them with our nose.So, they came up with a spell that confused us, we couldn’t track them with this spell.It was as if they were everywhere and nowhere at the same time, why would she use such a spell?Was I right to suspect that she was on the run?But if I can catch her scent then it means that she is somewhere near the building or was here.I quickly ran outside and tried to see if I can find anyone that resembles her, and my eyes landed on the Vampire King.just like me he was looking around as if he lost something, and his
Logan’s pov He didn’t reply but took a sip of his whiskey. I looked at him carefully trying to understand his facial expression. After some time he smiled at looked at me, “dream on little brother , I am stronger and older than you. There is no way father would pick you” he answered. He continued sipping his whiskey and I just looked at him. He sounded so confident. he thinks that being Alpha King is all about strength but he is wrong. There is more to it than that, its about having compassion, understanding your people and their needs. Its about being able to swallow your pride and do what is best for your people which is something my brother hasn’t learned. I don’t want to be Alpha King, its not my fate and its not something I want to do. Which is why for years I have been trying to show my brother all these things so that our father will pick him without any doubt. But he just ended up resenting me and saying that I am trying to act like I am better than him. “you don’t
Charlotte’s pov“are you sure? It’s a supernatural library, which means you are likely to bump into a supernatural being there” Alexa said and I nodded.We were covering my blood mark with as much make up as we could.I was also spraying my hair with dye spray so my blonde hair doesn’t make me stand out.I even got contact lenses and the make up made me look completely different.This library could be the one place in the world where I could find this information.And from what I heard its owned by the Vampire King.If I don’t find the book I intend on finding out something about him.That way I will be able to ask him what happened and what he knows about the blood mark.I do know that chances of him knowing something are slim but I need anything right now.If someone told me to stand naked in the rain I would if it means getting rid of this and being a target.When I was done I looked myself in the mirror, I cant even recognise myself.I don’t think anyone would be able to do so, I
Sebastian’s pov“you still havent found it?” I asked Mark.He bowed his head a bit, “we have people all around looking for anything that could help” he answered.He is not giving me the answers I want right now.I saw her, I know that Scarlet is in this city and when I find her I don’t want to find her empty handed.“the books, the books we found in that old book shop. Where are they?” I asked him and he sighed.“I called the library, they already put them on the shelves and searched. There is nothing these your majesty” he replied.Even those books didn’t have anything?I found that book from the descedants of a very old ancestor,their ancestors were very close to Scarlet’s family.They carried the secrets of that family for years and have many magic related secrets.For centuries they protected them, but the new descedants wanted nothing to do with all this.They wanted to make their own way because protecting all these secrets werents something they didn’t want to do.They called
Charlotte’s povI quickly ran out and disappeared in the crowd.I cant believe I kissed him, what was he doing here of all the places.I touched my lips and couldn’t help but smile as I walked away.I walked careful of my surrounding, if you have been on the run as long as I have you gain spidey senses.Everything and everyone around you is a suspect and you expect anything.I don’t remember the last time I walked around happily and free.I always have to watch my back and be careful with whatever I do.It’s the most uncomfortable and terrible feeling in the world.Sometimes I find myself overracting to a situation.Thinking that someone is following me when they are not and other times I underreact.Who wouldn’t? sometimes people are just walking by minding their own business.Or sometimes they are just walking by acting like they are minding their own business when they are just trying to kill me.I held the letter in my pocket and made sure not to let it go.If this falls then I am
