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 same hate in her eyes as she did before?
I want to see it; I want to see how my precious mother turned out.
“Thank you” I said as I hugged him.
“I will keep you on the loop about everything” I said, and he nodded.
“Listen, I know that everything that everything will be okay.
I believe that somehow we will break this curse, so be careful and come back to me” he said with a smile.
I didn’t know what to say or how to react.
I do know that I care about Logan and some of those feelings feel like love.
But what about the feelings I have for Sebastian?
I am weirdly attracted to Sebastian ever since the day I met him.
Even when he was away I would think of him now and then.
I said my goodbyes to everyone.
“please break the curse somehow, it breaks my heart to even think about you all reliving this vicious cycle” the Alpha King said as he hugged.
“This time we will no matter what, just take care of Logan. And keep an eye on those two” I said, and he nodded.
He patted my head.
“I will do so kiddo, thank you for all you have done for us” he added.
“We are ready, father I will be back as soon as everything is over okay?” Clara said and her father nodded.
“You always wanted to live; I hope whatever this new path is it makes you feel alive” he said to her.
“Take care of my daughter Alexa” he said, and Alexa nodded as she hugged Clara.
“I will protect her with my life, believe it” she said, and Clara smiled.
“We will protect each other” Clara said and after we headed straight to Sebastian’s car.
“Going somewhere?” Sasha asked and I turned around and looked at her.
“How is that any of your business?” I asked her and she smiled.
“For someone who is cursed you sure like testing fate, okay you can go” she said and the chuckled.
“But you do know that it doesn’t matter where you run to, your ill fate will always follow you” Sasha said, and I smiled.
“What about you?
You think that yours wont?
Mine has been following me for centuries.
Maybe by now it is tired” I said and then pointed at her.
“But this must be your first life, which means that you will still suffer even in the next life” I said and then smiled.
“As you already know everything about me, then you will know the weight my words have” I added.
“How dare you? You think you can curse me? you think that I would be scared of a little witch who does nothing but run?” she asked me.
“This little witch exposed your true nature in front of everyone.
This little witch foiled all your plans if I am little then what are you?
You are nothing Sasha” I said, and I could see her getting angry.
“I wish I could kill you with my own hands” she said.
“I would like to see you try, I will break that hideous neck of yours in seconds. Lay a hair on her head if you don’t value your life” Sebastian said.
hell, there was no doubt that it was a promise and not a threat, as if he was daring her to do so.
I could see her shaking like a leaf, damn that was scary if I also being honest.
I looked at him and Sebastian looked really hot right now.
“Yeah Sasha, say another word. I am getting the feeling that if you do then you wont live long enough to see where my ill fate takes me” I said with a smirk.
I heard Alexa chuckle and then we got into the car and drove away.
“Thank you for standing up for me there” I said, and Sebastian looked at me.
“Her voice was annoying I had to shut her up” he said, and I looked at him.
He seemed somewhat distant, is he okay?
Was it because of what he heard from Lana about the mate bond?
I mean if I was him I would be heart broken to know that it’s the only way to break the curse.
“Will you let us break the curse no matter what?” I asked him and he smiled.
“Yes, no matter the cost I will let you break the curse. Hell, I will even go out of my way to do so” he said, and I nodded.
I could see the sadness in his eyes as he said this.
why do I feel like my own heart is breaking?
I saw a future with Logan, and I liked it.
I want the white picket fence;
I want kids and I want to grow old.
Its what my father wanted.
My father died trying to find ways to break the curse so I could live a normal life with a husband and kids.
A life with Sebastian isn’t that, and Logan is my mate which means that we are meant to be together.
Should I be with the man who I am destined to be with or the man who waited centuries for me?
Not even me but a version of me he fell in love with centuries ago.
We got to where he was living and as you guessed it was a huge mansion.
“Mark please show everyone to their rooms, and then come to my office. You and I need to talk” Sebastian said.
“Please let me lead you, your brother and cousin are waiting for you” Mark said with a smile.
He seems so kind, he led the way and led us to a room.
The moment the door opened I was engulfed in a hug.
“Look at you, you have grown into a beautiful young lady” May said.
That voice, it hasn’t changed at all, she started sobbing and I joined her.
I looked at her face, she also has grown into a beautiful young woman as well.
“I missed you May” I said, and she smiled.
“I missed you too, I would have come with David the last time, but our family couldn’t suspect anything” she said and then looked at Alexa and Clara.
“Hi” she said, and they greeted each other.
David came and hugged me as well, “sister I am so glad that you are okay” he said.
“I am sorry I didn’t tell you about May before” he said, and I shook my head.
“I am just glad that the two of you are here” I said, and May helped me sit down.
“I found a spell that could help with your memories” she said as I sat down.
“What? Really?” I asked and she started showing me the spell and explaining how it works.
“It needs a belonging of something that belongs to witch that broke the heart of the witch that casted the spell” she said, and I frowned.
“So, to do the curse we need something that belongs to someone who broke the heart of the witch who casted the spell?” I asked her and she nodded.
“The witch that casted the spell was your mother, that I am sure of.
She was the only one powerful enough to do such a spell” Sebastian said standing at the door.
“My mother, but who is the witch that broke my mother’s heart?” I asked him.
“That’s if she even has one, what kind of a mother would curse her own daughter for eternity?” Alexa asked.
“The kind of mother who would even hunt down her own daughter for something that isn’t her fault” David answered.
“Your father if I must guess.
Scarlet once told me that her father left her mother for another woman.
That is probably the witch that broke your mother’s heart” Sebastian said.
“But who will we get something that belonged to a father I don’t remember?” I asked.
“Lucky for you, back then witches would be buried with their belongings.
I know where Scarlet’s buried, I bet she has something in there that belonged to her father.
A hair pin I think, she loved it a lot.
She once told me her father gave it to her” Sebastian explained.
“What? Wouldn’t it have rusted by now?” Clara asked.
“Not really, if they did such things then they use magic to preserve the objects” May answered.
“Which means they will still be in perfect condition if they are still there” David added.
“There is just one problem” Sebastian said I looked at him confused.
What could be the problem?
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
Sebastian’s povThere was a knock on the door.“Come on in” I said, and the girl came in with a huge smile on her face.She the took a glass and then sat down.“do you have to drink from a glass? Feeding directly from the source is even better” she said showing her neck.“I told you to stop making me that offer, you give me blood because I pay for it” I said, and she looked down and nodded.She slowly cut herself and let the blood pour inside the glass.When she was done she took the healing elixir.“I am here if you change your mind about feeding” she said as she walked out.I took a glass and had a sip; I drink this blood to stay alive.But I know that only one person’s blood and satisfy my hunger, that sweet blood.The moment I feed on her is still as clear in my mind as if it was yesterday.And when she offered I was so tempted, but I know that to break the curse she needs to mate with Logan.If I feed on her, the watching her mate with another man will be nothing short of torture
Charlotte’s pov“I called you tiger, but I don’t know why” I said and then turned around to look at him.“Its just this moment felt like I was experiencing de ja vu” I said, and he smiled.“You look beautiful every day, that could be the de ja vu” he said, and I smiled at this.But I know what happened, that moment when he zipped me up I saw it.I saw myself looking in the mirror with a dress on but instead of a zipper he was tying up the dress I was wearing.I didn’t say anything, I am still very angry with him for what he said.“See you downstairs” he said and then left the room, May walked in with a smirk on her face.“Look at that, your face is all red” she said, and I rolled my eyes at this.“Why are you so angry with him?” she asked, I know why I am angry.Because I am jealous that he wouldn’t do something as intense and intimate, but he would do it with that girl.I thought that I was the one he was waiting for all this time, then why not?Why not do that very intimate thing wi
Charlotte’s pov“Please leave” he said.His voice was low, the silent plead in it told me that he didn’t know what he wanted.He wanted me to stay but at the same time he wanted me to leave.I misunderstood him.I thought that all this time he just didn’t want to feed on me.He hasn’t fed on anyone for centuries; this is why he is acting this way.I didn’t say anything but stood my ground, he then sat down on the couch and didn’t look up.I sat next to him.“I am sorry” I said, and he looked up.“For what?” he asked me, and I thought about it.What is it that I am sorry?Am I sorry for misunderstanding him?Am I sorry for all the things I said the other day?Am I sorry for shutting him out the first time I saw him?Or am I sorry for making him suffer for centuries?“For everything” I said, and he smiled.“That made everything all better” he said but I could hear the sarcasm In his voice as he said so.“You shouldn’t be sorry; it was our love that got us in this trouble. I played a par
