Sebastian"Sir, you have received an invitation from 'Children And Youth association," My assistant Emma, handed me an envelope, "They sincerely expect your presence at the event they are hosting on the fifth of this month.""Where is the event going to be held again?""The small town–Rye, near the coast of East Sussex."I opened the envelope, reading thoroughly. "Oh, so this is the NGO we donated to last month," Recognition drew upon me, as I read the letter, "They are new, right?" "Yes, sir. They started new, and on the fifth of this month, it'd be one year. So they invited you to the celebration— Primarily, There are going to be the children from the orphanages they have helped grow and burn victims from the—Burn Survivor Association.""That's great, I shall attend the event," I said, pushing the envelope aside, "Tell Aaron that he'd be joining me.""Sir, Mr Aaron is out of town for a meeting with our client. He might not be able to return before this event since there are only

SebastianThe quiet roads and strange attire of nature mesmerised me but at the same time, they pronounced my grief louder— I could find both my pain and peace in silence. The bitter taste of the cigar was my momentary comfort, the burn in my lungs somehow helped me forget— Not her but the mistakes I made. If there was anything that was always awake in my mind, it was her— Alive and vivid, she breathed there. Her scent still lingered in my imagination and I loved every touch of it.Indeed I did not want her to fade away from my memories. I did not care if it gave me trauma and left me breaking each time with the wounds deepened like the day I had first gotten them, at least I was getting a chance to be close to her even if it was just mere memories that will succeed in giving me the warmth her touch once gave.I was the one who pushed her away. Now I was searching for her face in every unknown crowd, I wondered if she'd be there waiting, and when I'd offer my hand she'd take it and I

AthenaI couldn't find any reasons why I felt like the missing part of my soul was around, knocking on the doors of my heart, and demanding an entrance by making me acknowledge something, a feeling I'd thought was stupid until now.Since I stepped into this venue, my wolf's deadly silence should have been enough to confirm the unnerving fact that...he was around. But I didn't think her silence actually meant this....never in my wildest dreams, nor in those terrific nightmares I had, I could have ever thought or even gotten near the kind of an assumption where it could lead me to the conclusion of him being here.I was living my own fucking life, miles away from his cage, making this small town my comfort zone only so that I could feel alive once again, find a new meaning that he tarnished in all the ways he could when he had the chance and here he was, standing right in front of me like the same storm that destroyed my life.It hadn't even been a year....and I was standing here, faci

Six Months Ago Continual Of The Flashback: SebastianBeing free— Yes, being free was all that I wanted and today I have sent away the only person who had the power to cage me. That was not the only thing I did— I made sure to break her in every possible way I could, in a way she would never be whole all by herself again. What did I even leave? I put her through every worst nightmare this world could have; And for what? Only because she wanted to heal me. She wanted to get me back to a life I thought did not have any meaning left in it.Hell, I could just keep going and put all the injustices I did to her on the table and unfortunately, the list wouldn't end.And as I looked at myself in the mirror I could see none but a monster— Just like Athena said. Her tear-stained face, and eyes that held the pain altogether to not give away what had gone in her mind full of chaos and thoughts, were haunting me and each time they'd stab deep into my heart that ached for her.I felt terrible.

AthenaI could not believe my eyes at first. The sight of the bloodthirsty wolves who screamed nothing but rogues made a chill of terror run down my spine."What in the damn hell...." Aaron's low voice was the only thing that cut through the silence of the car, except for the teeth-clattering tremble of the driver who looked dead before even being touched.However, it surprised me that Aaron's eyes were not looking at the sight of the disgusting wolves, they were looking at the view behind the car-- Julia and that unknown guy with her.I did not get the time to register anything, what was happening was strange and totally out of the blue. Yes, I had been anticipating Julia's arrival but not in this way that terrified everyone, including me.Hurting someone in order to escape was the last thing I ever had in my mind.And before I could have the time to utter a simple reaction, I saw the man behind the mask, raising his hand and counting from one. One....I saw him slowly raising his i
