Sebastian’s pov
“just buy the entire building, that way Logan wont also rent there,” I said to Mark who smiled.
“I didn’t think I would see this side of you” he said with a little chuckle.
“he is still my competition; I won’t underestimate him” I said, and he bowed his head before going to do my part.
And I saw it in his eyes, the determination he had in his eyes.
He was going to try and win over his mate no matter what.
And werewolves are really annoying when it comes to the mate bond thing. Its like they are obsessed with the idea of having a soulmate.
Like they can’t think for themselves and the only thing they have going on for them is this forced relationship.
I am just saying that because honestly now that I am up against the mate bond my confidence is low.

Logan’s pov“I followed her like you said in the mind link, she is definitely very good at running.It was hard for me to finally get to her” Dean my friend said.“thank you” I said as I looked at the photo he took of my mate entering a restaurant.“what happened? How did you find her so easily?” he asked me, and I just smiled.“she found me actually, and there is more to this than that” I said, and he looked at me.“the girl she stays with owns the restaurant, its like your mate doesn’t exist” he then added.“I guess I was right to suspect that she is on the run. I couldn’t ask the Vampire King the entire story, but I will find it” I said, and he nodded.“what’s the plan? You said that she wanted nothing to do with you” he said, and I just shrugged.“get closer to her, she is a witch, so the mate bond doesn’t have that much pull on her. I need to form some kind of a bond for it to” I replied.“but what if she runs off again? She has been on the run for so long for whatever reason” he
Charlotte’s povI am going to find it first.I have been staying in this building for months hoping that something would lead me to what I am looking for.I opened the apartment and I kept pacing around hoping that I would find something.I don’t know how but I do know that somehow the witch left clues behind.A few years ago, I just thought that I was possessed by an evil spirit or something.And that in order to get her out of my body I needed to find answers.Honestly, it’s a theory that my father and I have been operating on for years.But what the vampire King was talking about actually made sense a lot even if I didn’t want to admit it.I believe that somehow I am the reincarnation of that witch.I believe her name is Scarlet.This means that now I can actually try and piece everything together.I never got the answer because I always got pieces of a puzzle that never really made sense.From what I picked up she is really into poetry as a way to express herself.I have collected
Charlotte’s pov“Well then, welcome Logan” I said, and he looked at me confused.“Just like that? You made it clear that day that you wanted nothing to do with me” he said, and I shrugged.“I meant romantically; I am okay with you working here. it’s a professional relationship” I said with a smile, and he looked at me.Living in the world we live in has obviously given him trust issues.Hell, I would ask you to walk all around the world and I guarantee that you wouldn’t find a single supernatural being who doesn’t have trust issues.We inherit them from our parents and it’s a survival tool for us.I can tell that he doesn’t trust me, and he is right not to do so.I have been on the run for 8 years; I have lost 8 years of my life looking for answers.I have one solid lead and it might just be the one thing I need to crack open this pandora box.And I wont let anyone screw it up, whether it’s the love of my life or my soul mateThey can all go to hell for all I care because nothing matt
Sebastian’s povI heard as she was leaving and as I was about to stand up Logan came in front of me.“She is going to look for something and it sounded important” he said, and I looked at him confused.Why is he telling me this? He does know that I am his competition right?I mean the fact that he went as far as getting a job near her suggests that just like me he won’t stop at anything.“I am waiting for the part where it concerns me” I said, and he smiled a little.“Its your building and I can’t just come and go. So, I am telling you in hopes that you will allow me to get in” he said, and I looked at him.She found what she has been looking for all this time?I have heard that a few witches have been looking for something there for centuries as well.You see witches can sense magic, so they sensed some magic coming from the building.Ever since then even if they found the source none of them could get it no matter how hard they tried.But if Scarlet is the one that hid whatever they
Charlotte’s povWhat?I thought this would give me the answers to my questions, but I was wrong.Instead, it just gave me even more questions and another heart I don’t feel like breaking.I looked at the two men who were with me right now.Sebastian, he obviously understands what is happening because he seemed, so heart broken.He has been waiting for Scarlet for centuries and now to find out that she fell in love with someone else.Hell, she fell so madly in love with him that she tied her fate to his so they could be together.it’s a slap in the face, one would say that its almost like death by a thousand cuts the more you look at it.I cant be responsible for another heart, and I have no interest In pursuing a love story in this life.Well, if I am Scarlet then it’s not a problem, I will just try and find love in my next life.“Lets get out of here” I said, and Logan seemed confused.“What happened? What is this link you spoke about?” Logan asked and I looked at Sebastian.“Its wha
Charlotte’s pov “What? He just spoke right? you heard him right? he hasn’t said a word Is over a decade and he spoke” Mary said with her smile. And then her eyes landed on me, and I could tell what she thinking without having to hear her say it. She always told us stories about how powerful of a seer her husband was back in his prime. Its her way of telling me that I should listen to him and stay here to dig into the past. “Goodbye Mary” I said and then walked away with Alexa behind me. “Don’t tell me that we are leaving even after everything we just heard” she said and shrugged. “We heard what we had already knew, the answers are in the past. So, we look for texts and books, myths and legends written about her. We do what we have been doing all this time, we research” I answered, and she rolled her eyes. “You know what I mean” she said, and I just shrugged. “I have no idea; we are leaving unless you want to stay behind. You don’t need to follow me if you don’t want, you ca
Sebastian’s povI slowly opened my eyes, and I felt my heart break.I know this spell, and the fact that she did the same thing again broke my heart.How can she do this to me?If I wasn’t sure that she was my Scarlet then I am sure now.The day she died; the last day I saw my Scarlet she used this spell on me.Put a portion in my food and then used on me later on.How can someone break my heart over and over again? Ihave been letting her break my heart over and over again.And the funny part is if she walked through that door I would smile and welcome her with open arms.The last time she used this spell I never saw her again;history tends to have a tendency of repeating itself.I got up and I caught his scent the moment he got out of the elevator and when he knocked on my door.I opened the door, and he was standing looking at me and he seemed just as broken.“She used a spell on us didn’t she? Which cant be a good thing,” he said, and I nodded.The door next door opened, and the
Charlotte’s povI had to go back, no matter how stubborn I am I couldn’t ignore the signs.A man who has been paralyzed and hasn’t said a word in years spoke up.He told me something that I needed to hear but didn’t want to hear.I have never really been one to look at the past, well I mean my past specifically.I like history, as long as it doesn’t involve me one bit.Can you blame me?If I look at the past then I would be reminded of the look on my mother’s face.If I looked at the past then I would remember the crowd of the people I once called family running after me to kill me.If I look at the past then all I can see is the darkness my life became.This is why I never wanted to look at the past, I know the past of this life.&nb
Sebastian’s pov“I received a call, Charlotte is on her death bed, and she asked to see you,” Mark said, and I nodded.It has been about 50 years since I let her go.I had to let her go, she wanted kids and a family.This is something that as a vampire I couldn’t provide for her.But Logan was able to give it to her.I got into my car and drove there.She and Logan got married and decided to live in a small town like humans.Do you blame them?The supernatural world has done nothing but mess up their lives.The supernatural world tormented both of them for centuries and centuries.Because of that curse none of them got to live their dreams until now.I got there; it was just the way she wanted a few years ago.The white picket fences, pink and blue bicycles in the grass and flowers.One of her daughters opened the door and she smiled as she looked at me.“Follow me this way,” she said, and I nodded as I walked into her bedroom.She was lying on her bed.She had grown old but was still
Sebastian’s povWe found her unconscious near her mother’s tombstone, and she was breathing just fine.I let her rest and she woke up 3 days later.“What happened?” she asked the moment she opened your eyes.“The blood mark curse, it’s gone,” Mary said, and Charlotte looked at me.“Is it really gone?” she asked, and we all nodded.“You are free now sister,” Alexa said, everyone was worried that she hadn’t woken up yet.But also, somewhat relieved that the blood mark was completely gone.Mary and David tested her blood and mine more times than I can count.I was also a part of the curse even though I didn’t know about it.I wonder what it is that she spoke with her mother about that made her change her mind.Anger can make people do the scariest things.Maybe her mother’s anger finally subsided, and they could talk things through.“What happened? How did this happen?” I asked her and she smiled.“Forgiveness, we forgave each other,” she simply answered which was all I need.“Now what?”
Charlotte’s povI sat at the rock and watched as the sun was setting.My mother came and sat next to me, “you hated sunsets,” she said, and I looked at her.“You loved me,” I replied, and she scoffed. “Kill me,” I said after some time, and she looked at me confused.“You can even perform a spell that locks my soul to this body.That way I will never be reincarnated,” I said, and she frowned.“Why?” she asked me, and I just shrugged.“Because I promised you a long time ago. Remember? I broke my promise then, let me make it up to you now,” I said.“What is this? What trick is this Scarlet?” she asked, and I shook my head.“It’s not a trick mother,” I said and then held her hand.I kissed the back of the hand and then looked at her with a smile.“No more tricks, no more broken promises mother,” I said, and she didn’t say anything.We stayed like that for some time before she got up and then looked at me.“Fine, I will kill you,” she said, and I nodded as I got up.“You abandoned me all
Charlotte’s pov“Are you okay?” Sebastian asked me.“Yes I am okay,” I said and he shook his head as he held my hand.“I know you had feelings for Logan, it’s okay to be sad that he is gone,” he said and I looked at him.“I am, he made me dream of growing old in a house with a white picket fence,” I said with a smile.“I think I love him,” I said to him.I looked at him, he smiled as he if already knew the truth.“I know, and now you remember all your past lives. The lives where you were tied to him,” he said.I nodded, “we were never happy in those lives,” I said with a frown.“In all those lives he was a really good person. He made one mistake, I know it doomed us all,” I said.“And I know that it’s not the only thing on your mind,” he added and I nodded.“It’s not, I think I have a solution to the blood mark curse,” I said and he looked at me.“Okay, what is the solution?” he asked me and I held both his hands.“Please keep an open mind,” I said and he nodded.“I will go and see my
Logan’s povWhen I got home my father immediately came to my side worried.“What happened? Where is Charlotte? Why did you bring her with you?” he asked me.“Father I think there is a few things you need to know,” I said.We went to his office, and I told him everything, I told him everything I remembered.“What? So back then you did that?” he asked me, and I nodded.“Then why didn’t you stay with her? Why not stay and try to fix your mistakes?” he asked me.“Because she didn’t want to, she wanted me to come back home.We are in this situation because I didn’t respect her decisions back then,I marked her forcefully,” I said and paused.I feel like I am going to cry, so I took a deep breath and looked at my father.“And now you wanted to respect her decision, I understand that” he said and patted my shoulder.I looked around and remembered something, would he believe me if I told him the truth?“I think you should make Elena the future Alpha Queen,” I said, and he looked at me.“Elena
Charlotte’s povI opened my eyes and found everyone around me.“Are you okay?” Sebastian asked me and my eyes landed on Logan who was still asleep.“What happened?” I asked them and May looked at me with a smile.“The curse, that links you and Logan has been broken.He is no longer a part of your blood mark curse,” she explained, and I looked at them.“What are you saying?Are you telling me that Logan is now free from the curse?” I asked them and May nodded.I trust May, she is a really capable witch and wouldn’t make such a mistake.But how?We did nothing to break the curse so why did it break?“How did the curse break?” Sebastian asked the same question.Logan groaned as he opened his eyes.I remember everything that I felt at that moment.I remember the hate I felt towards Damon back then as he forcefully marked me.Could it be?Could it be that the hatred was the real binding force between us?Could it be that when I forgave him the curse automatically broke?Just like how I reg
Sebastian’s povFor centuries I had to watch the woman I love die countless times.I couldn’t save her so many times that it felt as if I would just die.I longed to see her face, I just wanted her to live even if it wasn’t with me.She suffered and the man who is responsible for all of this Is standing in front of me.I don’t care that he is crying and seem remorseful, but he made my life a living hell.Does he even know the things I had to go through?Living and trying to search for answers but not finding anything at all.All the questions that plagued my mind for over a millennia and it was all because of him.“I am the reason she got cursed,” he said again his eyes on the ground.“Wait? So, he is the villain in you two’s love story?” Clara asked looking at her Alpha Prince.I got up to punch him, but Scarlet held my hand and I looked at her.Why didn’t she have hate in her eyes for him?Why doesn’t she hate him for everything she had to go through because of him?“Why are you sto
Charlotte’s povI remember everything, all the memories of my past life came back to me in flashes.Every single one of them, I could feel the pain I felt in all those past lives.I had to relive the many times I was killed and the many times I killed myself.I felt someone holding my hand, “you will be okay, you will be fine. Come on do something,” Sebastian said.My Sebastian, my love I missed you so much.I should open my eyes and look at you.Everything, Damon, wait Damon and Logan are the same person cant they?He betrayed me back then and is the whole reason everything happened.Well, he isn’t completely to blame but my mother and coven are also to blame.What did I do wrong?I was looking for a way we could be immortal and still be witches.I was also looking for a way so there could be peace between all supernatural beings.And I did all that for my mother and my loved ones, was I wrong in all of it?“Are you okay?” Sebastian asked the moment I opened my eyes.“You have been s
Logan’s pov“I don’t know how you fell in love with her.But I remember how you came to me fuming with anger ad jealousy” she said with a smile.I remember it all, what she is saying right now I remember it like it was yesterday.“You begged me to create a mate bond between the two of you, do you remember?” she asked laughing.“When I said no you broke your promise to her that you would keep her little project a secret.The one she was doing so she could be with Sebastian forever” she said and then sighed.“You knew how much it would hurt me to hear it. That my only daughter is planning to be a vampire, an abomination” she added.I just stood there frozen at the new discovery; I am the actual villain.She trusted me and saw me as her friend, and I can’t believe that I betrayed her.I am the villain in her love story and now it all makes sense.“The reason you are cursed was because you were willing to pay any price if it meant that you would mate with my daughter” she said and then sc
