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.
But Charlotte’s magic has been bind to her soul.
Her magic is about a thousand years old, she still doesn’t know how to tap into it.
But she is powerful enough to be able to erase herself from the world.
For years they couldn’t find even the smallest traces of her and now this?
This witch managed to somehow locate someone who couldn’t be located at all.
Someone whom the witches that work for me said that it felt as if she was everywhere and also nowhere.
As if she was air and sometimes as if she was the sky itself.
How did this witch managed to locate her?
How powerful is she to be able to do something like that and that too without any help.
I heard that she did the spell alone according to David.
“That’s not all sir, there is more” he said, and I gestured that he goes ahead.
What terrible news could he probably tell me that will be worse than my best friend’s betrayal.
I have known him for years.
So I do wonder why he did it?
Did this witch force him?
Is there more to this story?
Is he perhaps secretly helping me, and I am just jumping to conclusions?
I looked at the photo he had; well, I guess he really could have the worst news.
The witch met up with Sasha and Justice, Charlotte kept me updated about things that happened around there.
She wanted me to keep an eye on those two and see if they will meet anyone.
Well, they did, and the witch that helped them is the same witch my friend met and also Charlotte’s mother.
All these people are out enemies, they are our enemies which means that my friend is also one of them.
Anyways I have dinner with Rose’s father.
I also invited Chris and my little sister Eliza.
I knew that only one of them could be the mole.
A part of me was hoping it would be Rose or her father.
Although Kate is an old acquaintance he isn’t someone that I trust or ever trusted.
So, I won’t have felt as betrayed and as angry as I do now that I know he really did it.
I got dressed and then got ready for dinner.
I found them already seated, “welcome dear friends” I said as I sat down.
“Its been so long since we dined together. To what do I owe this pleasure?” Kane asked.
“Everyone here is dear to me, we often forget how precious time can be. You know the pecks of immortality” I said, and Kane chuckled.
“Indeed, thank you so much for the invitation” he said, and I smiled. “
Well then, shall we eat?” I asked and everyone nodded as we started eating.
“I haven’t seen you in so long Eliza” Rose said and my little frowned smiled.
Hell, even I could tell the smile was fake, “trust me, it was on purpose” she said making Rose chuckle.
“I see you still hate me a little bit. Those things happened centuries ago” Rose said.
“Come on Sebastian, talk to her for me.
She cant hold a grudge for centuries.
Its not healthy, tell her to forgive me.
She eventually has to forget it all” Rose said.
“Well, I think I am the wrong person to talk to.
I have been in love with one woman for centuries.
I can hardly judge others for something that I am also guilty of” I said.
“Well said Sebastian” Kane said.
“I might have not met her before, but I do believe that she must have been an amazing woman.
Its already hard enough to find a space in someone’s heart.
But she has been in yours for centuries, that is commendable” Kane added.
Rose frowned at this, Kane knows as well that I have no interest in his daughter and he seems to understand this well.
“Don’t encourage him, you will make him even more determined” Chris finally spoke up.
He has been quiet for most of the night which isn’t like him, “yes please don’t” Eliza said and then looked at me.
“It might be commendable, but it also means that my brother has been alone for centuries” she said and then sighed.
“I just wish that he would find happiness, I don’t care who it is with” she said and then looked at Rose.
“Even if it’s someone I can’t stand, I just want my dearest brother to be happy” she added.
“I will be happy little sister, one of these days I will find my happiness. Just you wait and watch” I said and looked at Chris.
He looked down;
I am guessing he knows that he is standing in between my happiness.
I have told him countless of times, actually all of them that I would kill anyone that gets between me and Charlotte.
I do not care if its my sister, my mother or even my best friend.
If they come between me and my love I will trample on them and crush them until they are nothing.
After dinner I went to my office and Chris joined me a little bit after that.
“You seem to be in a foul mood” he said, and I just smiled at little.
“I need your help old friend; I just don’t know where to even begin. You are the only one I can trust with this” I said.
I gestured that he sits down as I pour him a class of scotch.
“What is it? I could tell that something has been weighing on your mind” he said, and I nodded.
“My little brother, he was seen at this location about a few days ago. He is planning something, and it can’t be good” I said.
“You don’t think that he will try to free your parents do you?” he asked, and I shrugged.
‘’Its been centuries, chances are that he changed and doesn’t care about them.
Or he cares even more, its time we caught him as well.
Having him out there always puts me on edge, if my parents are freed we are doomed, this world is doomed” I said, and he quickly nodded.
“I will look into it right away; I will go now, and I will keep you updated friend. I have your back” he added as he finished up and left the room.
Mark came in after him, “sir you should really see this” he said and then showed me a picture.
“Is this what I think it is? Those people seem to be preparing for war” I said, and he nodded.
“I am afraid so sir, what will you do now?” he asked, and I smiled.
“The only thing I can do now, I will go to see my one and only true love” I replied.
Are you ready to see me Charlotte?
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
Charlotte’s pov“With Sasha and Justice” he said and showed us a photo of him with Sasha and Justice.“I don’t like this one bit; he has been in hiding for years. Why come out now?” Sebastian asked and seemed deep in thought.His eyes landed on me.“I think he is coming after you” he then said.“When those two are involved I wouldn’t be surprised” I said and saw as Sebastian frowned.“Keep an eye on him and also on Chris, if he is working with Sasha and Justice then it means that he is also working with Chris” he said.“Isn’t Chris your friend? So, all this time he was the mole?” I asked him and he nodded.“What will you do now?” I asked him.His aura changed, and he went from a playful to being dead serious.“I will kill anyone who tries to get in the way of breaking this curse.No one will hurt, I will rip apart anyone who even breathes wrong around you” he said.Why did those words just make me all warm and giddy inside.He means every word; he would kill anyone that breathes in a
