Chapter 24: Grace

Charlotte’s pov

They seemed so serious that I didn’t know what to say to them.

How do I even break their hearts and hope?

I have no interest in anything that has to do with love.

And its obvious that they are somehow both crazy because why?

Why would someone spend years looking for a mate he only met once?

Because of the promise of happily ever after?

Because you were told that this stranger you have only met once will love you unconditionally?

And this guy, he really is handsome, powerful and I admit I had a crush on him.

But now I am honestly disappointed in both of them for this.

“is that all you know? Do you know how to break the spell?” I asked him before I burn all the bridges.

He shook his head, “ I have been looking for centuries but no luck” he replied and I nodded.

“so, the name of the person whose soul my soul belongs to is Scarlet?” I asked him and he nodded. 

I got up, I got some of the answers I wanted but they don’t make sense.

If I believe him it means that I should also believe that I am somehow this Scarlet he talks about.

“but I do have a theory” he said, and I stopped and looked at him.

“Scarlet’s mother is a bitch and a heartless one. I noticed that in every lifetime you are born you don’t remember anything at all. I think she is the reason you don’t remember who you are” he said, and it made sense.

“there is only one reason she could do that, and that’s if I knew the cure or spell to break the curse” I said, and he nodded.

Huh, if he is telling the truth then this could be something to work with.

I guess I have no choice but to believe him because I need anything.

I would follow any hunch or theory, even someone’s fairy tale story.

I just need to get rid of this spell so maybe I can see my little brother once again.

I miss my cousin and I just miss not being on the run and just being normal.

Some person think normal is boring but for 8 years that’s is all I have craved for, and I need that.

I looked at Logan, “listen, you are an Alpha Prince.

Obviously might be King because I think your parents will choose you over your brother.

You cant be with someone like me, I am always on the run and will be a liability.

Witches will hound you, so I cant be your mate and I suggest that you move on.

I am sorry you have been chasing me for almost 8 years, but I cant be with you” I said, and he looked genuinely hurt.

He wanted to speak up but didn’t know what to say.

He was speechless and I guess I understand why he would be.

I just wish there was a way I could break their hearts with grace but there isn’t.

all I can do is tell him the truth of my reality.

“I don’t want to drag you into this okay and Mr Sebastian. I am not Scarlet; we might look alike and maybe I might be her reincarnate. But I am not her, thank you for the answers” I said and started heading towards the door.

“I don’t care, I don’t care if you are on the run. I will go with you; I will be your protector no matter what” Logan said.

I turned around and looked at him.

I honestly don’t want to hurt him, and the whole idea of mates has always made me uncomfortable.

Fate, destiny, the gods and the universe have never been on my side, so I don’t think they are now.

There is no way someone as unlucky as me could have a mate.

They are just probably looking for another way to destroy me and build my character.

I feel like I am character in a book always going through some kind of character development.

If I do take any of their offer then I know that they will die.

That’s how unlucky I am, people die around me which explains why Alexa is still alive.

She isn’t exactly human, and her identity and origin are one of the mysteries we are looking into.

I am just so busy looking for answers to all these questions I have I don’t think I can do this.

“as someone who has been on the run and hiding for years I would never do that to another person.

it’s tough, and I am sure you are nice guy.

But love isn’t anywhere in my plans. Have a great day” I said and bowed my head a little.

Logan was about to say something but then looked at the Vampire King.

This man seemed awfully calm and was just looking at me amused.

He has been looking for Scarlet for centuries, but he isn’t saying anything to make me stay.

So much for her being the love of his life.

“well then Charlotte, please do contact me again if you have more questions. I am here to help” he said awfully calm.

Even Logan seemed surprised by the way he was behaving in the moment.

I guess he didn’t love her as much I thought he did.

But I am on his wall, I mean she is on his wall, and he obviously goes around with that portrait everywhere he goes.

“thank you, I will keep that in mind” I said, and my eyes landed on Logan.

“don’t let your brother be King the entire supernatural world be screwed if he becomes one” I said and then started walking away.

Logan was about to stop me when the Vampire King came in between us and gestured that I leave.

“let her go, she has made her decision” he simply said, and Logan just stood there looking at me.

I really wish there was way to break people’s hearts with grace.

But there isn’t, at the end of the day hearts were meant to be broken, right?
