Chapter 12: change

Sebastian’s pov

I waited in my office, but he took his sweet time or maybe it was because he knew he was in trouble.

After a few minutes he knocked on the door, he never knocks unless he is in trouble.

“come in” I said,he .

alked in with his head bowed like he was some innocent boy.

“don’t put on an act with me, I know you more than anyone” I said to him, and he looked up.

“I didn’t mean to, it just happened and those she-wolves were throwing themselves at me” he tried to explain.

Chris really is a piece of work.

imagine getting a call early in the morning and being told that a guest I bought slept with 5 married women.

He has been around for centuries and knows more than anyone how werewolves get when it comes to their mates.

They don’t want anyone around them.

they don’t like it when you look in their mate’s direction or accidentally touch.

And my dear friend here had to go as far as sleep with them.

I don’t have a time to fight a war with the werewolves.

I am preparing for a war with the witches so the last thing I want is another war.

“it was a mistake” he said, and I didn’t say anything but then took out an envelope that had his name on it.

he smiled when he saw the logo and frowned when he watched me tear it in front of his eyes.

“you are not going to this event, because I cant trust you with such an important meeting.

You will piss off the wrong people there” I said, and he didn’t say anything but nodded.

He knows better than to test my patience.

I can forgive anything but not someone who interferes with my plan.

and he knows that more than anyone.

This meeting will play a great part in finding out what the witches know.

if I find out what they know they I will be able to know if I am one step ahead or behind.

I really need to find the reincarnation of Scarlet and that too as soon as I can.

I am glad that he caused a ruckus because he would have been a burden if I was forced to take him to the meeting.

He didn’t fight me on it as well because I don’t think that he suspects my intentions on the matter.

I don’t like telling him anything regarding Scarlet.

I know that he doesn’t like her or the fact that I have been “obsessively” looking for her for centuries.

The event will take place in a matter of days and its in a beautiful city.

I just need to get ready in case a war does break out.

When Chris left my office I opened the hidden safe and took out a portrait of Scarlet.

it has been so long since I got someone to renew the colours that it was starting to fade again.

looking at it that girl came in mind, she resembled Scarlet so much that it was almost scary.

The smile as she looked at me.

the only difference between them was the innocence in her eyes.

the Scarlet I knew lived a rough life and she had this fire in her eyes because of that.

she was a strong and resilient woman;

some would even call her rebellious because she didn’t want to follow all the norms of her family.

 She didn’t want to be another woman whose fate was decided by those around like she owed them something.

She was born In a coven where you need to do what the elders say, no questions asked.

They were treated as puppets with no voices of their own but just doing what they are told.

I remember how she told me that she wanted to break that circle.

but during that time she was considered a bad person.

Even the people she was fighting for didn’t see her efforts or her dreams.

but the world slowly changed into what she wanted.

Yes it took forever but gradually it became what she one day hoped it will be.

women can choose who they want to marry.

Unfortunately,

it’s not everywhere but I believe that even in those places they will one day be liberated as well.

the world has changed so much my Scarlet,

I do hope that one day you will regain your memories and see it from your point of view.

I know that Charlotte is also her own person.

but she is also you, she just doesn’t know it yet.

I put the portrait back and went to my room to sleep a bit before my journey tomorrow.

The next day I got ready and even spoke with the Alpha King, apparently both his sons will be coming.

I don’t know why but there is something about the older son that makes me feel uneasy every time when I see him.

Not the uneasy as if he scares me but that uneasy feeling you get when someone has ulterior motives.

He has that look in his eyes.

maybe it’s because he hasn’t lived that much.

so he doesn’t know how to hide it because I can see it.

its really been long since I saw that look, I saw that look on that bastard that took away my love.

I saw that look on that son of a bitch that is the reason that Scarlet is dead, and I will never forget that look.

Because of that I really can’t trust him.

and that uneasiness is also me trying to control myself from killing him.

When I got to the city I couldn’t help but look around in awe.

it was beautiful, and I was never one to love noise but something about this place was great.

I even heard a laugh of a woman and it sounded like music to my ears, her laugh was so real and sweet.

I looked at the place where it was coming from, and it was a restaurant called Food with Alex.

It was close to the traffic lights and as I stopped.

I looked around the restaurant from my car and I couldn’t find her.

Maybe it was someone in the kitchen or something, but her laugh made me smile for a second.

I hope that you always have a reason to laugh whoever you are.
