Justice’s pov
“Let’s get going, I am not even sure if she will find me as well this time” Sasha said, and I looked at her confused
. “You said the witch found you? Did you ask her what her intentions were and why she would help you?” I asked her and she nodded.
“But she told me that she will tell me the reason when I kill the Alpha King” she replied, and I nodded.
But does a witch gain from killing my father?
Like seriously what does killing him achieve?
He is nothing but a helpless old man, he has not real influence and would even have an alliance with the vampires.
I do know that my father is unfit to lead, even though he showed that he has power.
He doesn’t have what it takes to be a true leader, all he does is preach peace.
On the other hand, our enemies are using every means to gain power.
They are being brutal, killing others just so they can get ahead.
Hell, even our own people have been killed because all he wants is to keep the peace.
War is a must, its only through war can you protect your own people and also have a purpose as a leader.
Its only through war that real power is attained, and that old man doesn’t seem to understand that one point.
“Are you okay?” I asked Sasha who seemed nervous but nodded anyways.
“I cant just help but feel like this is it, she will us this time as well.
I might not know her motive, but I saw hate in her eyes.
Not only that but it seemed to have been there for centuries” she said.
Who is this woman?
We got into the car and then drove off.
Everyone is angry with us, so no one even dared to ask where we are going.
Sasha then stopped in the middle of nowhere, “this is where I met her last time” she said.
This was really in the middle of nowhere.
So how did this witch know that she will find Sasha here?
We waited for hours; Sasha even started calling out to her.
“Hello mystery witch, come on already we have been waiting for hours” she yelled out.
“I am sorry I am late; I had a few things to take care of” a woman suddenly appeared behind a tree.
No scent at all, not even a sound, I didn’t even notice her presence until she spoke up.
As if she is a ghost, how is that even possible?
Even as a werewolf I could feel her power, this woman isn’t just an ordinary person.
There is just something else about her, what is she?
“You came” Sasha said with a smile.
The woman’s face was covered, only her eyes can be seen, green eyes that I feel like I have seen before.
“I am guessing you failed, really Sasha, your hatred in this lifetime is truly weak” she said, and Sasha looked at her confused.
“What do you mean In this lifetime?” Sasha asked and the woman smiled.
“You see the relationship between you and Charlotte didn’t start now.
For centuries you have been fighting over a man and over positions of power” she said.
“What nonsense is that?” Sasha asked and she smiled.
“And also, the battle between you and your brother, now you even born as brothers yet again. Fate truly is amazing; I didn’t even have to play a hand in it” she said.
“What the hell are you saying?” I asked and she sat down on a huge rock.
“Tell Sasha?
How did you feel the first time you met Charlotte?
Didn’t you hate her to the core when you had just met her?” she asked Sasha.
“Wait I didn’t tell you about Charlotte so how do you even know her?
And yes I don’t know why but I hated her, as if I have hated her for centuries” Sasha replied.
The woman then looked at me.
“What about you?
Your brother, I bet one day you woke up and you just couldn’t stand him.
Not just any day though, think back, when did you start to loathe your brother?” she asked me.
I thought back to that day, I remember it clear as day and its at the back of my mind.
“it was the day my brother turned into a wolf the first time.
He did it a year earlier than kids his age, he turned when he was 15 but I turned when I was 16 years old” I said.
When I turned at 16 the entire pack was proud for me, it was the first time in decades since someone turned into a wolf at 16 years.
Most of them would change at 17, 18 and some even later at 19.
But then he took that moment from me and turned at 15, he stole the spotlight.
After that everyone started talking about how he would make a great Alpha King
. Everyone would preach about him; they would call him a prodigy and all kinds of names.
“How do you know all of this?” I asked her and she smiled.
“Because I have been around for centuries” she replied and then looked at my face as if waiting for me reaction.
I said that she was a ghost, is it even possible that I was right when I said so?
Is she truly a ghost?
“Yes, one would go as far as to say that I am a ghost from the past” she answered a question I didn’t ask out loud.
“Whatever, I want to crush that Charlotte and Logan, help me crush them to dust” Sasha said, and she shook her head.
“There is really no need, you guys don’t need to even more a finger. Others will take care of that problem for you; you want to be Queen Luna right?” she asked Sasha.
Sasha nodded, “for centuries I let you fight on your own and watched you lose over and over again. this time I will help” she said.
“What do you mean?” she asked the woman.
“I told you, yours, Logan and Charlotte’s souls have been tangled up for centuries” she said.
“What the hell?
What do you mean?
What the hell are you talking about?
Could you just say things straight” I said she nodded.
“Patience boy, all I am saying that the two of you don’t have to lift a finger. Others will take care of those two for you. You just need to be on your best behaviour, and you will get what you want” she said.
“Why are you helping us anyways?” I asked her.
“what do you want to hear?
I could say I am doing it on a whim, I could say it’s because I like you
. Or I could say its for peace, or I could say its for war.
What do you want to hear?” she asked me.
“I want to hear the truth” I replied, and I heard her chuckle.
“I didn’t like you at first, who would like a son that would kill his own mother for power? I hate betrayals and people who do them” she said.
Sasha gasped and then looked at me.
“wait you killed your own mother?” she asked me.
“Please, your father could have died because of your actions.
You knew that and you still did it anyways, now he is a rouge, you should have just snapped his neck and spared him a life of misery” I replied.
Sasha smirked; she is happy that she has something against me now as well.
I will forever stuck with her, but it won’t be a problem once I become Alpha King.
“Fine, the truth is that its my mission to end Charlotte and Logan’s lives” she replied.
“And how did killing the Alpha King get you there?
How was killing the Alpha King going to help you end Charlotte and Logan’s lives?” Sasha asked.
“Well, it’s very easy, there were two scenarios and they all worked in my favour” she said and then raised one finger.
“The first is that when he dies the two brothers fight for the throne.
I thought you were stronger than him and you would kill him” she said but then shook her head.
“Unfortunately, that’s not the reality I see” she added.
She then raised her second finger.
“The second one was that he would win, if he won then he would have no choice but to mate with his mate Charlotte and then I win” she said.
“Wait, why would you win if those two mate?” I asked her and she smiled.
“You see its because those two are cursed.
The moment they mate the curse is triggered they will die no matter what.
It could be an illness or be killed by people” she said.
“A curse, what kind of curse is that?” Sasha asked.
“It’s a soul curse, Logan was used as an anchor to Charlotte’s blood curse mark.
You see Charlotte one upon a time was known as Scarlet.
A powerful witch who made stupid and evil mistakes that got her punished.
Logan’s soul back then got tangled with her and was cursed as well.
Their mate bond is basically a catalyst, the speeds up the curse and gets them to die faster.
You see those two were destined to die” she said.
“But what If they don’t mate? What if I kill Charlotte before they can mate? Will Logan live?” Sasha asked.
I guess she still has some kind of feelings towards my little brother.
“Then he will live, but he wont mate with you or anyone else.
He will live a long life alone because Charlotte is his soul mate and there could be no one else” she explained.
“I hear you? But how do you even know all of this?” I asked and she looked up.
“I know because I was there when they were cursed, because I am the one that cursed them” she said.
what?
What the hell did I just hear? Should I believe all of this?
Sebastian’s pov“are you sure about what you are saying?” I asked Mark and he nodded.He took out photos and I couldn’t believe my own eyes. What is this that I am seeing?“So, he met this person?” I asked him and he nodded.“It was clearly a witch, but that’s not the only worrisome news sir” Mark added, and I nodded.The witch is covering her face, as if she doesn’t want anyone else to see her.Who is she and why is she meeting Chris?Why would my best friend meet a witch in secret?“You will want to see this as well sir” he said and then showed me another picture.In this picture the witch was meeting with other witches.But the problem was the person who was talking to her and leading this group.The woman is Grace Bishop, Charlotte’s vile mother who has been hunting her own daughter down.Grace is already a powerful witch as it is, she has a great reputation in her coven and others.Even as she was growing up she showed great promise and was no wonder her kids were also prodigies
Charlotte’s pov“She is coming here today; we need to welcome her” Logan said, and I nodded.“Don’t worry, you have everything covered. I know you do; we just need to figure out if there is any way to end this curse” I said, and he smiled.“I am sure there is, Reene must have put other measures in place to ensure that happens” he said.Well at least now he is a little positive about everything.“I hear you, but what about those two? They left a few days ago and we don’t even know who they met up with” Clara said.So, since Clara and Alexa are mates we had to tell her everything.I understood when Alexa came to me and asked if we could tell her.Half-truths hurt people;I didn’t want their relationship to start on a shaky foundation where the other one is in the dark about everything.Plus, I tried Alexa and Logan, so if they trust Clara then I don’t have a choice but to trust her as well.“Actually, I had someone on that, he will let us know about what he saw soon.I don’t know what i
Charlotte’s pov“Because it was your love that began all of this.The love that Scarlet had for you, it started all this circle of hate and ill fate” she replied and then looked at me.“Your love was a sin, you two shouldn’t have fallen in love” she added and then her eyes landed on Sebastian.He then looked at me.“I don’t think my love is a sin, how can love to be a sin?” he asked still looking at me.The way he looks at me, I could see the love in his eyes.But the biggest question is who is that love for?Is he aiming his love and Charlotte or at Scarlet?Just like how he looked at me with longing back in that restaurant.It was all for Scarlet and not me, he isn’t looking at me for that reason.Its not me that he is in love with, I looked down and then looked up.“What brings you here Sebastian?” Alpha king asked me, and he looked at me.“I came here because of an urgent matter as well.I apologise for coming without giving any notice, it was really urgent” he said and then sat d
Charlotte’s pov“Well then, shall we get going?” Sebastian asked and I nodded.“I will go and pack up” I said and then quickly went to my room.Logan came in as I was packing.“I will deal with everything here so don’t worry” he said.“I know you will be able to, Sebastian has an eye out on the witch. But I will need your favour” I said.“Anything, I would do anything for you” he said, and I smiled. I know it will probably sounds really stupid to be asking for such a favour.“My mother, I haven’t seen her in forever. When she comes here, can you secretly take a picture of her and send it to me?” I asked him.“Of course,” he said and didn’t ask any questions after that which I am thankful for.I have always loved my mother, growing up we were so close that I was always curious.They were times I wanted to take a risk just so I could see her from a distance.I always wondered if she is still as beautiful as she was, did she lock my room and never open it again.Does she still have that
Charlotte’s pov “No one can open the tomb, it’s in a cave, but maybe you will be able to do so. Every witch that I have met and asked to open it couldn’t and some wouldn’t” Sebastian said. “What do you mean some wouldn’t?” I asked him and he just shrugged. “They said that there was something there that shouldn’t be awaken” he replied. “If there truly is something there that shouldn’t be awaken, isn’t it better to stay away from that place?” David said. I see he has grown a lot but still seem to be cautious, even growing up my little brother was always too cautious for his own good. “We will be fine, maybe it was just a warning to keep us from finding the answers we need” I said, and he just shrugged. “Maybe but I have a really bad feeling about it, but if we must then we will go” he said. “For today I want everyone to relax until we get feedback from Logan” Sebastian said and then left the room. The moment he left the room May looked at me with a big smile on her face. “Your
Charlotte’s povShe looked at me and smiled, “Please tell Sebastian that I am sorry” she said.“Why? Why are you sorry? What happened back then Scarlet? How on earth did you get the blood mark curse?” I asked her.“You know the answer, they incorporated something into their spell. But I found a weakness to the spell, find the weakness to the spell” she said and the disappeared.“Are you okay Charlotte?” May asked and I looked at her confused.What?What happened just now?How did I see her?What is the weakness of the spell?“I am okay” I said and then my eyes landed on Scarlet.“What happening? Why is she turning into dust?” Sebastian asked panicking.“I don’t know, what the hell? Why did she turn into dust when you touched her? She didn’t when Sebastian touched her” Alexa said.“I don’t know why” I said, and we heard a chuckle from behind.“Okay I get it, Scarlet was in that coffin, so who on earth was in the other?” Clara asked.That is a good question, who else was in the other on
Sebastian’s povI looked around and couldn’t find a bottle of water in my office.Mark must be sleeping by now since its late, damn I miss the time where vampires slept in the day.I got up and went to get a glass of water myself.I heard footsteps in the kitchen, “is anyone there?” I heard Charlotte ask.“Yes I am” I said as I entered, and she looked at me.“Hi” she said with a small smile, “please don’t mind me, I just want a bottle of water” I said and opened the fridge.As I was leaving she spoke up, “Sebastian are we okay?” she asked me.I didn’t turn around by answered anyways.“yes we are okay, why would you ask that?” I asked her.“Its just that you have been so distant, and I don’t know why. Did I do something wrong?” she asked, and I shook my head.“No, you did absolutely nothing wrong” I said, I turned around and gave her a smile.Honestly, I love seeing her but at the same time just looking at her makes my heart break even more.For her to break the curse she needs to mate
Charlotte’s povWas it a mistake?Was it all because of the wine I had?I looked at him, “goodnight” I said before running out.I could hear him chuckle as I was leaving, what the hell just happened?I got to the room I am sharing with May, and she was sleeping like a log.I wish I could do the same, I have been having trouble sleeping lately.I got into the bed, he is a great cook and I feel so alive while I am with him.He challenges me, somehow when I am with him I feel really bold.Like I could handle anything life throws at me? what is wrong with me?I am Logan’s mate, to break the curse I will need to mate with him.I cant be falling in love with someone else, its just not right on my part.I was just caught up in the moment.I have had a crush on the guy since I was 16 years old.And he is so romantic, doing all those things and just being so cute around me.I have heard so many things about Sebastian,how he is ruthless and cold, but I have never seen that side of him.He is s
