AthenaI'd waited the entire night for Sebastian's arrival but he did not arrive. Maybe this was the first night I'd waited for him and this was also the night when I didn't get his glimpse.I knew I'd decided to help him out of his situation but was I going to be able to stay on my ground when everything he has done to me was still embedded deep inside my head?He had no control over himself or his mind whatsoever. But did that fully justify all his actions? No, I knew it didn't.Nonetheless, I still thought that my decision was not wrong.It was the truth that even if I did not get him out of the curse, there was no way of my escape. He was just so tied to the chains of his curse that he'd just never stop making everything hard for me, put me through hell because he was in need to suppress his feelings that the mate bond between us made him feel.Of course, getting Sebastian out of his curse was not only my want but also my need. I needed to do this in order to save both of us from
AthenaHe looked so unaffected and casual as if it wasn't just a murder he committed. He normally lit up a cigarette, the smoke that came off of it reflecting against his dark sunglass as he raised it to his mouth.There was no rage I could notice, there was no hurry, it was just an utterly calm demeanour of Sebastian that I had got to see a few times but that too was not this intense.The situation to me was confusing at first glance, and it was true that it scared me to see Sebastian killing another person right in front of my eyes with no emotion whatsoever. But when my eyes moved to take a look at the rest three men being held down to the ground by the guards, I became aware of what might be going on.But I still have no idea about who these people were and why they were brought here; Each of them was heavily injured as if they have badly beaten before they were put in this place and Sebastian's bloody knuckles told the story— He was the one who have beaten them."Are these the sa
AthenaWhen my eyes looked from downstairs as the closed door opened and Celine got out of the room with dishevelled hair, swollen lips and crinkled clothes, just the thought of what might have gone behind the closed door made my heart ache. But I did not have anything to do at all.Even when she flashed me a mocking smile as she noticed me standing in the hallway before walking away to her room.I decided not to go back to the room, for now, I needed some time for myself to recover because there was no way I was going to be able to breathe in that room after knowing what had happened just a few minutes ago.I found myself walking to the library area, taking a look around the place using the new surrounding as a distraction.From looking at the library I could tell, this place did not have many people coming over there or looking over it. It was not like as if it was dirty, but all the furniture and even books were very old. Some had torn covers, some chairs and tables were not steady
AthenaWhen I got back into the room, bracing myself for the worst it turned out that the worst I have been expecting was yet to happen. The sound of the shower running coming from the bathroom told me that Sebastian was inside.As my stare fell on the bed, I noticed that the bed sheets have been changed. Perhaps when I was out, he called a maid and made her do it. At least this was considerate of him to do so but I doubted that he did that for me, he might have his own reasons.I was aware that Sebastian does not want to make anything easy for me.Sighing, I walked and took a seat on the couch, looking outside at the sky as the white clouds scatter everywhere within the blue.I was not going to succeed in bringing Sebastian back if I turn to be unable to push away my fears. I needed to look past every cruel thing he did, and that was the hardest part.I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, trying to calm my racing heart down when suddenly the sound shower stopped and the bathroom d
SebastianCold water was not helping in calming my racing heart down. I did not if it was anger or what that made a venomous feeling spread through my entire chest, grasping me under its cage each time I took a breath.I hated her. I hated her. I was supposed to hate her.What did she mean to me? Nothing.Emotions make people weak, it ruins them and their lives, it cages them in the false forever till they are either dead or....their lives are taken away from me— And I was not weak. I was not one of those who could be destroyed.I was Sebastian Valdez— I got no emotions or attachments. My heart was cold as stone, I did not allow it to feel anything.In all these years I have kept myself the way I was meant to be, I never let anyone shake me from my ground, then why would this one single woman be any matter to me? She might be my mate but she meant nothing to me, just nothing.My thought began getting cut off and off the rhythm as Athena's face began flashing in front of my eyes. The s
AthenaWhen I woke up I found myself on the bed alone. The rays from the sun were responsible for waking me up.Yawning I rubbed my eyes to wipe away the drowsiness and got down from the bed. My mood was not as heavy as all the other times because last night had not been tough for me, everything that'd happened was within a limit and that is why I have not woken up with a huge weight over my chest and terrible memories.The only unpleasant thing was the dream about my parents. It was basically a flashback of what they'd done to me and sold me to those auctioneers just because I did not have a wolf. But on the brighter side, I actually got to feel my wolf nowadays, and it'd only happen when Sebastian would be around me, his presence triggers my wolf's emotions. However, I was still not sure how I got out of that dreadful dream, but I sure felt a soft caress in my sleep; The warmth of someone that helped bring peace to my soul.Shrugging my thoughts away, I freshened up and took a qui
AthenaOn my way to my room with thousands of different thoughts bombarding inside of my head, I accidentally bumped into the last person I wanted to see—Celine.Her purse fell from her hand and I stumbled backwards."Ugh! Can't you see where you are going?" She groaned, bending down to grab her purse and collect her belongings that fell I did not bother to pay more attention to her and attempted to walk away. Having a conversation with her was the last thing I wanted.But then suddenly I heard her muttering."Fucking slave."My feet stopped on their own, my fists balled up to my sides and I turned around instantly, "What did you just say?"She stood up straight, grabbed her purse and looked at me, "I said exactly what you have heard.""It's rich coming from a woman like you when all you do is suck my mate's dick and run here and there around him like an obedient dog would do for his treat," I crossed my arms over my chest, "So it's better for you if you keep your mouth."Her face tu
AthenaThe night came sooner, and my thoughts went louder and louder. Sebastian still hasn't come.I was worried and mostly scared, I did not know where he was or what was he doing. There could be so many dangers out there and he could get potentially hurt.Minutes that passed soon turned into hours and the night advanced into its darkest duration.And finally, after what seemed like an eternity, I heard the familiar heavy footsteps before the door opened revealing Sebastian.He was here but not exactly in the way I have expected, he was injured. More than just injured.There was blood seeping out of the wound on his palm, a big cut was there on his forehead, and multiple injuries covered his arms; His shirt was all torn and shredded as if he'd just come from surviving a storm. "Sebastian..." A worried gasp slipped past my lips on its own and I rushed towards him."Oh my god...you are injured," I began panicking, I'd never felt this sort of restlessness like I felt today watching thi
