Sebastian’s pov
“sir someone is here to see you” Mark said as he came into my office.
and someone pushed him out of the way.
“hello old friend, do you really need your butler to announce me as well? I am offended and honestly hurt” Chris said standing at the door with a huge smile on his face.
“because he knows that you cant be trusted, and I also need to mentally prepare myself to deal with you” I said with a small smile and his got bigger.
“still as cold as always, long time no see buddy” he said coming to sit on the chair opposite me like he owns the place.
Chris has been friends with me for years.
for more than a millennia and he was there when I met Scarlet for the first time.
He was there when I fell in love and when I lost her.
him and Eliza are the only people remaining who know the full story about what happened back then.
Somehow everyone else who knew about it dropped dead.
I think that those witches didn’t want the truth to come out.
They wanted their story to be told and without contradiction.
they wanted to make my Scarlett the villain and make themselves heroes who saved the world.
“I heard that you are still hunting for her even now. buddy I care about you, and I have seen how this takes a toll on you every time” he said clearly concerned.
“she called you didn’t she?” I asked him and he just shrugged.
Chris has this tendency of disappearing and doing whatever he does.
but then suddenly appears out of no where which is annoying.
Every time when he comes back its because he thinks that I am doing something that I shouldn’t be doing which is usually when I am looking for Scarlet.
Unlike with Eliza he doesn’t hate Scarlet.
but he doesn’t like that every time when her reincarnation dies she takes a part of me with her.
I guess any friend who has been through a lot with you would understand.
he then tries to make me forget and move on by bringing woman after woman.
“she didn’t have to call me; you are turning the world upside down looking for her like you always did and the vampire numbers are increasing as if you are preparing for war” he answered, and I just shrugged.
“I am preparing for war” I replied, and he raised his eyebrows to question what I am talking about.
“a war with the witches?
Isn’t that what you were against and why you and your father fought tooth and nail?
Because you tried to stop the Salem Massacres and you are telling me that after all that effort you want to go to war with them?’ he asked me, and I nodded.
“but unlike my father I won’t start this war.
but they will, I know they will try to come and get Scarlet when I find her so I need to be ready for anything they might plan to do” I answered, and he gave me that look again.
“you sound so certain that you will find her this time around.
why do you think so?
I have never seen you so confident when it came to finding her” he said, and I nodded.
This time I was confident because this is her.
this girl is the closest thing to Scarlet as possible.
although she doesn’t remember her past lives she is so good at hiding that even I haven’t found her.
I met her, I met this one unlike the other.
this has to be it.
this is the time where I find her, and we reunite like what she said to me when she died.
This time it’s different.
I am someone who has been through this for centuries and I can feel it in my bones that this time its different.
“what happened when I was gone? You have changed a lot; you are like the Sebastian from a long time ago when you first met her” Chris said looking at me suspiciously and I just smiled.
I cant tell him about what happened or that I met Scarlet.
I guess I just want to keep that moment to myself and knowing Chris he would make it sound it was just a coincidental meeting.
I don’t want anyone telling me that what happened isn’t what I think happened because I know what it is.
Even though she didn’t remember she still had feelings for me.
she still looked at me the same way Scarlet used to.
And even though she didn’t know it she still kissed my cheek and gave me her bracelet.
I looked at the drawer, it had two bracelets in it.
the one that Scarlet made me centuries ago and the one that Charlotte gave me 8 years ago.
It can’t be a coincidence really.
there has to be more to it.
it has to be some kind of a sign that this time around we will find each other again.'
“and the peace treaty with werewolves? what’s that about?” he asked.
honestly I have spoken today more than I have in the past month.
When I didn’t answer him because I am honestly tired of answering questions he answered himself.
“you evil bastard, in case a war does break out between the witches and vampires you want to be in a position where the werewolves cant join them.
They can either sit aside and watch the war happen or they can join the war and that too on your side.
but I heard that they approached you first, why is that?” Chris asked.
“I guess they saw our number increasing and with theirs decreasing they want to be on our good side in case war happens.
the witches on the other hand are too distracted looking for Scarlet that they don’t even know what’s going on around them” I said, and he nodded with a smile.
Chris loves war more than anyone in this world.
so the mention of war completely silences him and makes him smile.
as for me the only thing that will make me smile will be having my beloved in my arms again.
that is one thing I can’t wait for.
are you also longing for me as well Scarlet?
Longing to see me just as much as I am longing to see you.
“sir its time, you need to go and meet the werewolves for the peace treaty signing” Mark said, and I nodded and looked at Chris who had a smirk.
“this is going to be fun” he said as he got up.
Logan’s pov“everything has to go well” May said running around the pack mansion and giving the workers orders.May is my best friend Dean’s mate and almost the only woman left in the pack house ever since our mother died.Dean’s parents never really liked being around after what happened with his father, he had a fight with a witch, and she paralyzed him.I guess he couldn’t handle it and he felt like a burden, so he quit being my father’s beta and now he probably lives in the middle of nowhere with his mate. Now all the responsibilities fall in May’s hands and Dean helps around where he can because he doesn’t want his mate to work alone.You see May studied event management so her working and organising events for the pack mansion and my family isn’t just because she is the only woman left.Its also because she gets hired as a paid client and sh
Logan’s pov “that pervert slept with married women” Justice said the moment he came into my father’s office. “I know, but its not like he forced himself on them. We cant make a big deal out of it because technically he did nothing to violate our peace treaty” my father responded. The whole pack has been a mess since this morning when one of the maids found our guest Chris In a room full on naked women. Some are married to their mates, and some were still mate less she-wolves and from what I heard he had about 10 women in his room. “so, you are just going to let him get away with this? he slept with married women father” Justice repeated himself. “and those women made it clear that they did it because they wanted to. We cant blame him for what happened, and honestly other people’s marital affairs isn’t our business” Dean answered him this time around. “I cant believe you, you would let them walk all over us. you should be making him pay but you just let him go back home untouched
Charlotte’s pov “we got a big gig” Alexa said jumping around the restaurant and I smiled at this. I found Alexa a few years ago. since then we have been travelling together for years and we recently stopped at this city and opened the restaurant. We don’t stay in one place for long and usually a year and then we move away and go somewhere else. Because Alexa isn’t wanted by a thousand supernatural beings I do everything in her name. the restaurant is in her name, and I handle all the accounts and the money goes to her account. My father found her on the streets. and we gave her dinner and from then on she just kind of grew on us and we let her stay. She is like family to me, and I don’t know what I would do without. she is also the face of this business because obviously I cant be. “okay what kind of gig?” I asked her and she sat down on a chair beside me and smiled. “a huge gig, apparently there is some meeting for big shots happening really soon. It’s a massive thing and
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
Logan Spade’s pov It took us about a few hours to get to the city. Justin was happy about the trip but not happy that I came along. It’s a good thing that our father didn’t tell him the truth. that he intended that I be the one to go and not him. “I cant wait to meet the leaders; this is the biggest meeting in history. Do you know how many powerful people will be there? and I will be one of them” he said with a grin. “well, we are going there to represent the werewolves, and some powerful Alphas will be there as well” I said to him. I get why he is excited about this. if I am being completely honest this is a rare occasion. Its hard for all the leaders to meet in one place. its because everyone isalways busy and sometimes conflict arises. so they don’t usually like being in one place. This is the one time they meet with one goal that is to ensure that the humans aren’t aware of our existence. They put measures in place to ensure that our secret existence remain that, a s
Sebastian’s pov The event as expected was too much, I had to go around and greet people which wasn’t really ideal. I mean it had three things I hate the most, people and talking. “Vampire King, its great to see you here” said the youngest Alpha Prince while his brother just looked anywhere but me. “it is great seeing you two here as well. this would also be a great time to secure new allies” I said to him, and he nodded. The Alpha King has been a useless man after his mate died. he let everything go down the drain in all these years. All the progress he has made just turned into dust. he let his people down and now they are in trouble because of his weakness. I have lost the woman I love more times than I can remember but unlike him I didn’t let my people suffer because of it. or maybe I am being a hypocrite by comparing us. his mate is gone forever, and I live with the hope that my Scarlet will come back. The truth is she always comes back and the reason I have worked so
Logan’s povI 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
Logan’s pov He didn’t reply but took a sip of his whiskey. I looked at him carefully trying to understand his facial expression. After some time he smiled at looked at me, “dream on little brother , I am stronger and older than you. There is no way father would pick you” he answered. He continued sipping his whiskey and I just looked at him. He sounded so confident. he thinks that being Alpha King is all about strength but he is wrong. There is more to it than that, its about having compassion, understanding your people and their needs. Its about being able to swallow your pride and do what is best for your people which is something my brother hasn’t learned. I don’t want to be Alpha King, its not my fate and its not something I want to do. Which is why for years I have been trying to show my brother all these things so that our father will pick him without any doubt. But he just ended up resenting me and saying that I am trying to act like I am better than him. “you don’t
