Chapter 15: warning

Logan’s pov

I tried pinpointing the location of the scent, but it was like she was everywhere at once.

If I am correct this was a spell that witches used back in the day to confuse their enemies.

Since werewolves and vampires have heightened sense of smell it was easier for us to locate them with our nose.

So, they came up with a spell that confused us, we couldn’t track them with this spell.

It was as if they were everywhere and nowhere at the same time, why would she use such a spell?

Was I right to suspect that she was on the run?

But if I can catch her scent then it means that she is somewhere near the building or was here.

I quickly ran outside and tried to see if I can find anyone that resembles her, and my eyes landed on the Vampire King.

just like me he was looking around as if he lost something, and his expression wasn’t as cold as it usually is.

The scent was faint, and it was coming from all directions that there was no way I could find her.

At least not today, she is my mate, and we are destined to be together which means that I will meet again somehow.

I met her that night by chance and today I know that somehow I will meet her around here.

she is here in the city;

I am closer to her than I have ever been in the last 8 years and there is no way I will be going away.

I will look for her, walk every inch of this city until I find that scent again and hopefully this time I will get the source of it.

“you need my help?” I asked the Vampire King and his eyes landed on me, but he shook his head.

“no thank you, I don’t think you will be able to help” he replied and for once I could have sworn that he sounded a little heartbroken.

“you look how I feel, would you like a drink? Preferable something stronger than what they have in there” he said, and I nodded.

I know that I should hate him, I know that they say that he killed my mother but strangely I feel this connection with him.

Its kind of like some kinship, something in me tells me that he wouldn’t do such a thing.

Maybe it’s because I have seen that he doesn’t really fight those who are weaker than him and he couldn’t have killed my mother.

So far my brother has given him all the reasons to kill him but all he does Is look the other way and ignoring my brother’s resentment.

I always wondered what he would have against my mother.

She was just a Queen Luna; she couldn’t battle anyone, and he doesn’t strike me as someone who would kill a helpless woman.

Its possible that someone framed him for what happened and everything in me believes that.

and if my judgement is wrong and he killed my mother I also know that the peace treaty with him is important.

We went to a high class bar near the hotel where the event was being held and ordered whiskey and some cigars.

He didn’t say anything but just started sipping his whiskey,

he doesn’t strike me like the type to break the ice and say something first, so I did.

“I was looking for my mate, I have been looking for her for years and today I caught her scent, but she just disappeared” I said to him.

He put his glass down and took a deep breathe,

“I was looking for a woman too. this one is actually my soulmate; I have been searching for her for centuries” he explained.

“centuries? Wow that puts my entire story to shame” I said, and he gave a small sad smile.

a man as powerful as him, a man who is feared by many including myself is heartbroken and cant even hide it.

I always heard about how he is very good at hiding his feelings and I saw it first hand when he came home.

He didn’t react to anything or show any kind of emotions, but a woman out there got this man to show his true feelings.

I guess we are all powerless when it comes to love, even the Vampire King is sulking and drowning his sorrows.

“we will both find them. I will find my mate and you will find your soulmate” I said, and he looked at me.

“be careful of your brother” he said out of nowhere and I looked at him confused.

“what? What do you mean?” I asked him and he put down his glass and got up.

“just be careful of him” he said and left.

As he was walking out my brother was walking in, and I watched as he looked at the Vampire King and frowned.

As for the Vampire King he didn’t even pay him any attention,

I didn’t even catch my brother’s scent, but he caught it before me.

he saw my brother coming before me and why did he warn me?

I know my brother isn’t loving and open, but he is my brother and would never harm me.

we grew up together and I know that behind all that anger is the brother I grew up with and who sacrificed a lot for me.

“were you having a drink with that blood sucker?” Justice asked me, he then sat down and ordered a whiskey for himself.

“he isn’t that bad you know” I said to him, and he just shrugged,

“he killed our mother, I cant believe that you are so weak that you would even befriend our enemy” he replied.

I looked at my older brother, what the Vampire King said is stuck in my mind as I looked at him.

Do I need to be careful of my brother?

I know that he can full of anger and hatred but none of it is directed to me right?

I mean he could have said a lot of things but why warn me?

“brother, what would you do if father chooses me to be the Alpha King?” I asked him.
