Sebastian’s pov
I could tell that she was having a hard time understanding me.
But something caught my attention about the way she is.
She really is my Scarlet, and it feels like I starting from the ground up.
When I first met Scarlet many centuries ago she was like this.
She was so focused;
she didn’t want anything to get in her way but things changed.
She was hellbent on marrying some idiot and securing her place in the coven, but we fell in love.
When we did her priorities and dreams change and that’s how it is.
Sometimes when you meet someone you love your priorities and goals change.
I made her see that she doesn’t need to marry that idiot to become what she wants to be.
Back then she fell in love with me all on her own.
I will just have to make her fall in love with me again.
It’s a little funny isn’t it?
I am preparing my heart for heartbreak again.
Without knowing it or even realising it she broke my heart for centuries.
Each century she would break my heart and here I am prepared to give it to her again so she can break it all over again.
I don’t know about Logan or what will happen with him and her, but she is mine.
Scarlet has always been mine, but I will respect him enough to let him try anything.
There is reason Scarlet’s mother did what she did.
She didn’t want us to be together, hell she made sure that even if she is born again we cant be together.
this means that even she knows that we are connected on a whole other level.
We might not be mates, but Scarlet and I are soulmates.
So, I will let things play out and Scarlet is her own person.
she can make her own decisions and I should respect that.
Logan was still looking at me wondering why I am even blocking him.
When she had closed the door behind her I explained.
“it took your 8 years to find her, I have been looking for her myself.
If you push too hard she will run off, she is very good at hiding, and we might never find her again” I explained, and he nodded.
I guess judging from his expression he is telling the truth when he calls her his mate.
Something about this century is different, she found me instead of me looking around for her.
She is very good at hiding and what I saw is that she is intelligent and think on the spot.
I guess all those years of being on the run made her smarter.
She obviously has to be smart to be able to live on the run for so many years without being caught.
Not only that but she seemed to see right through Logan and in a matter of seconds realised they were mates.
She looked around and observed people’s behaviour and that’s different kind of smart.
It allows you to know your enemy and who you can trust and who can’t trusted.
“I understand everything she said but I still want to be with her” Logan said to him.
“and then what? You are an Alpha Prince; it will be easier for them to find her with you tagging along” I explained, and he finally saw things Scarlet’s way.
The difference between me and him is that I can afford to protect her.
I have so many resources and money that could help us in the meantime.
And the witches wouldn’t try anything stupid when I am around.
They will tread carefully and when they are coming up a plan we also do.
We look for a way to break the blood mark and my Scarlet will come back to me.
First if I stay here for absolutely no reason they will start suspecting something.
I have never stayed here for a long time and I got a lot of eyes on me.
I hardly attend these shindigs and I usually prefers places that are quiet.
If my enemies see me staying here for absolutely no reason then they will figure things out.
And then again Charlotte will be in danger and that’s the last thing I want in this situation.
I need to find a way to stay around her, an excuse to be around her and we can met up once in a while.
Something that wont bring much attention to her until she agrees to let me protect her.
Or until she finally falls in love with me again.
“you are just going to let her go? This is the woman you have been looking for” Logan said and I looked at him.
Does he realise that we are in love with the same woman?
So technically I am his competition and he also mine.
The mate bond can be really annoying, and it will give him the edge in everything.
The universe really doesn’t like me right?
how can Scarlet have a mate?
She didn’t have one back then so why now all of a sudden?
The big question I have to ask myself is if he will be of help or he will be an obstacle in our way.
“yes she is, but she is also a very smart woman who has been on the run for years.
One small mistake could send her running again and we will never find her next time.
The only reason we could find her now is because she came to me.
Otherwise we wouldn’t have, trust me, I have turned this world up and down looking for her” I replied.
He then nodded but also seemed to be thinking of a way to find her.
I don’t have to worry because I know that Mark followed her.
I need to find a way to come into her life without spooking her off or anything like that.
The way she made her decisions then and there is exactly what my Scarlet used to do.
Please wait for me Scarlet, wait for me my love.
with your last breath you asked me to help you remember. i will do that, i will help you remember
Charlotte’s povI couldn’t even hear myself think because of this loud noise.My life just turned upside down today, I still can’t believe what happened.I just want the voices in my head to help me make direction of the whole thing.I want to know what it is that I am supposed to do after all of this, but nothing is coming to mind at all.I looked outside my window when I heard a howl, it sounded so pained and sad if I am being honest.Being a witch, I know nothing about the howl werewolves make but I know that one kind of touched my heart.It made me wonder, is that my mate howling?Actually, why do I care?I made sure that he knew that I had no interest in the mate bond.I take each day as it goes, actually on most days I just feel lucky that I am still breathing.I honestly don’t want to push my luck and get too comfortable at all.And I also don’t want to drag anyone into this ill fated life of mine full of running away.I know better than anyone in this world that living on the
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.&n
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
