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.
This is why I need to be around her as soon as possible and why I am buying that building.
I want to move into that apartment as soon as possible.
It wasn’t available so I buying the entire building is the only way out of this.
I asked him to find an apartment next to Charlotte and the one he found had people in it.
buts that’s not a problem at all, we will just offer them a bigger and nicer place.
Since they are a huge family that place was never really big enough for them.
I would do anything to be next to her.
I need to be next to her, so I can protect her and be there for her.
I need to be next to her so I can win her love.
This time I will save her no matter,
this time I won’t be late like how I was late centuries ago and that still haunts me even today.
A few hours later Mark called telling me that everything is done.
And now I need to find an excuse that a lot of people won’t pick up why I am here.
I need to be able to buy myself time and use this opportunity to get closer to her before people ask a few questions.
Well living in the same building is the best way to live without attracting attention.
I sat down and started looking at the documents about the new building that I own.
It has a lot of history and I have no doubt that it has a few things hiding in there so I could use that as a reason.
once supernatural beings see the history of this building they will think that I am probably looking for something.
Plus, now that I own it would be a much perfect reason and they won’t focus on Charlotte.
A lot of people don’t remember what she looks like, and others just have never met her.
So, her looks wont attract a lot of people,
I guess I have to thank her mother for that.
That woman and her coven erased any trace of her in story.
The only portrait of her was the one that I had painted for myself.
Other than that, she isn’t anywhere, I don’t think that a lot of people have seen her actually.
Even my friend has never seen her but only heard about her because back then it was hot gossip.
A vampire and a witch were together and in love even against their family’s wishes.
My parents absolutely hated the idea of me being with a witch.
Which is why Eliza and I a few years later had to put them down.
My sister didn’t like Scarlet, although they hardly met but she helped me put our parents down anyway.
After that I became the most feared supernatural being, my parents were powerful.
So, anyone who could take out such powerful beings must be powerful themselves.
And because of that I became the Vampire King, and the title came with some power and benefits.
But by then it was already too late because she was gone.
I wished I had step up earlier, I wish I had more guts and fought just because she was taken from me.
if I fought at the right time then she would have been here in my arms with me.
I wouldn’t have spent all that time looking for her and she wouldn’t have been cursed.
After that I decided that it’s better that I start looking for ways to save her this time.
I will turn the world upside down if I must.
Hell, I will find every single supernatural librarian and have them eat and breath this mystery until they find answers.
I have a few leads but the most important and likely one is Scarlet.
She has always been smart so I think that she will have the answers to all these questions.
That is why her mother made her forget everything when she is reincarnated.
Mostly when people are reincarnated, when they reach a certain age they remember everything but that isn’t the case with Scarlet.
I know that she probably did that, so Scarlet doesn’t remember me and if she doesn’t remember me then we won’t be together.
there could be a million other reasons for why she made things this way.
But I know that the main reason was that she was scared that once Scarlet remembers she will be able to reverse the spell.
She was the smartest witch during her time, had an eye for details and just like her mother was gifted caster.
She couldn’t only interpret old symbols but could also find an antidote to anything.
A great caster and an even amazing healer, I guess that is what pissed her mother even more.
She raised her daughter to be this prodigy just to have turn against her.
That woman has always been a brutal and unforgiving.
I remember the look in her eyes when I first met her, I am powerful, but that woman scared me.
well, I was just a boy back then so of course she scared me a lot.
She had this look in her eyes, this evilness that would scare anyone.
The next day after packing up and having them take my things to my new home.
I also got ready and decided that its time I get settled into my new home.
When I got there, and the elevator door was about to close I heard her voice.
That great voice I will never be able to forget ever.
I helped her with her bags and realized that she has been so preoccupied she hasn’t even looked at me.
the elevator doors closed, and she turned around to thank me but then froze when her eyes landed on me.
I just pretended like this was completely normal and that I was just minding my own business.
So how do you ensure that you don’t look like a stalker when you are technically one?
“what the hell is this? What are you doing here?” she asked me, and I just shrugged.
“I own the building now” I said, and I saw her open and close her mouth more times than I can count.
She looked really cute when she is frustrated, “you know what? I don’t even care what brings you here. I just hope that you are not some stalker freak” she said, and the elevator stopped, and the doors opened.
She took her things and got out and I followed behind her which made her stop.
I then continued walking even after she stopped and unlocked my new apartment.
“what the hell? You are the new neighbour?” she asked, and I nodded.
“ohhh you live in which apartment? This one of this one?” I asked pointing at the two other apartments apart from mine.
I didn’t want to make it obvious that I know which one is her apartment.
She just rolled her eyes, obviously she saw right through my act.
“just so you know, there is something I am looking for in this building” I said, and she looked at me.
“I am going to find it first” she said and slammed the door of her apartment.
So, there is something here that she is looking for.
I was wondering that out of all the places she could live why choose this place?
She could live anywhere in the city but why a building like this?
I means its not terrible but for someone who has money like her she shouldn’t live like this.
Her restaurant perform so well that she is financially stable enough to afford something bigger.
And the fact that she has never stayed in one place for too long but suddenly stayed here this long was suspicious.
So, she is looking for something here, but what?
And why?
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
