SEBASTIAN
Bellingham
Following my father's death, I hastily departed Northumberland and established myself in the charming village of Bellingham, in the North-East of Newcastle-Upon-Tyne. Being the CEO of a research company, I appreciated the convenience of being closer to work, but what I loved most was the peacefulness of the surroundings.
If they presented me with something worth investing in, I was their man. But I was also a researcher, a doctor in science, and helped with whatever I could to make the serum work. Because it all revolved around a serum. An entire team worked with me, including my cousin Liam and Alexander, my Beta.
The laboratory was well-funded, and the equipment top-of-the-line, allowing my scientists to develop a wide range of medicines to combat even the most dreadful diseases. Thanks to the bold chemicals developed by my team, we were able to combat illnesses with greater success than ever before. People often questioned why I had picked Bellingham. I preferred to be close to home, keeping a watchful eye over Mother.
“We are ready for another test, Bash!” Liam’s voice interrupted my thoughts.
I shifted my position in the chair so that I was facing him. Real animals were never part of the tests, as we used alternative methods for experimentation. It was something I adamantly refused to consider. We combined werewolf blood and our female blood to create small, fierce beasts. The legend spoke of a mysterious creature called Gwyllwolf that could only be created by combining our blood with certain other substances, known only to my scientists.
According to my mother, it was a made-up name, but I found it quite pleasing to the ear. She left us wondering if the hellhound was real or just a figment of her imagination. However, there were people who claimed to have witnessed terrible sights. According to the legend, the demon was created by combining the essence of a werewolf. We tested it out, and it was effective. We just couldn’t kill poor animals.
My afternoon was jam-packed with meetings, errands, and appointments. And the test didn’t work as I expected. None of them did lately, but I was a patient man… Well, wolf.
When the phone rang around five o'clock, it surprised me to hear Mother's urgent voice on the other end.
“Put her through, Livy!” I ordered my secretary. My harsh voice echoed throughout the office. It was like I felt something was not right. Mother's voice was rushed, and her words came out in a jumble that I struggled to comprehend. “Slow down, Mother, I can’t understand you. What happened to whom?”
With every second, my worry grew as my Mother's spasmodic breathing turned into hyperventilation. It took a while, but I could finally calm her down enough to speak a few words that made sense.
“We have an injured wolf, a female”, she shouted in one breath and it was as if my senses crumbled all at once. How could we have someone injured and by whom? And more than that, it was a female.
“I am coming home. Don’t you move away from her, not even for a second!”
I heard her approval, and the phone shut down. “Livy, please call Alexander and Liam!” I instructed her briefly. I had no time to lose. It took them two straight minutes to get into my office.
“What’s the rush, Sebastian?” Liam urged me just after he closed the door.
“There is an injured female wolf in Kielder. We have to hurry there ASAP,” and as I urged them to leave the office, I stared at both of them, set on one thought, that I was sure they predicted it somehow. “We take our wolf’s shape and we will cut it through the woods, out of sight, understood?”
Their bewilderment had no place here, so they obeyed. It was the fastest transformation ever; we didn’t need the full moon to turn. We could do it on various occasions; whenever someone was in danger, or when we were angry, and during the full moon, our powers and wilderness were much stronger.
Our paws left deep marks on the moist soil of the forest. We emerged from the huge green forest faster than the wind itself, immune to the blowing blast and heading to our nest. The earth was quivering under our run as we were getting closer and closer. I could smell her and her blood. Someone indeed injured her. As we reached the castle, we turned back into humans.
“Liam, come with me. Alex, go into the dungeon lab and get me the medical kit. I will inject her immediately!” This certainty of mine stopped Alex in his tracks. He was gazing at me, baffled about what I had just said. “We have not tested the serum yet, Bash! You can kill her in one shot” his big puzzled gray eyes were measuring me as if demanding me to revoke the order, but I wasn’t going to. There was just too much at stake, her life, and the capacity of a test to see if it really worked.
“Sebastian, you came…” My Mother’s voice got muffled in fear.
She urged me to her bedroom, showing me the most beautiful creature I have ever laid eyes on. But she was in pain. I approached the bed and her vanilla scent invaded my nostrils. She had a nasty bite on her neck, almost turned to shreds. She was not hiding her ordeal on that innocent, sweet face of hers.
Her pain was so obvious; her twists in agony and moans in despair were like prayers worshiped to me, so I would help her. From time to time she would open her eyes, brown like melted chocolate, and she would let me inside her tormented soul. She has lost me in a trance just by looking at this perfect creature.
Her soft red hair lay long and loosely framed her perfect face as a few strands got lost as in purpose into her deep V cleavage. As my beastly blue eyes traced that sinful line, I took a step back, like protecting myself from that lustful beauty. When I thought I had everything under control, the wolf inside me made one more mistake.
Gazing at those full lips adorning her perfect pale face. Their perfection was sending me into a carnal state of drunkenness. The deep curve around them caused my world to stop for an instant. The craving for her was too tangible.
“Sebastian, are you all right?”
Mother’s interruption came on time, or I would have exposed my howling wolf’s urging to come out. Around female wolves, we could also turn if we feel on the edge of burning desire. And that was about to happen. I was the only one from the pack that could control my wolf from emerging, if that’s what I wanted. Vicky was the same. We were born with the ability to contain ourselves. And this was for sure one of those cases.
“I am fine…” I muttered between my teeth, still taking in the stunningly beautiful creature lying in Mother’s bed.
And then Alex came with the serum, and I had this alluring soul’s life in my hands.
“Are you sure you want to do this? We are uncertain of…”
“I am!” I called out to him and prepared the little syringe, injecting it into her vein. I held my breath for a few seconds.
She was still struggling to breathe with her pretty chocolate orbs fixed at me, begging me to end her misery. Little did she know I intended to heal her; I just hope that this serum in the absence of a Luna will do the trick for this marvelous lady.
SEBASTIANI wasn’t expecting the serum to actually work. I stayed these three days at the castle with Mother and with Isabella. Her name was Isabella and her beauty was out of this world. She was the sweetest melody in my eyes and ears and it lost me in her charm. During all this time, she hasn’t spoken to me, only fleeting glances here and there. I just loved the way her cheeks colored in pink every time she caught me staring at her.What I felt for her was not love, but pure desire. I knew it sounded rough, but I didn’t mean to dishonor her. True love is the unity of two soulmates and as far as I was concerned, as an Alpha, Bella was not my mate. But she was someone very enjoyable, lovely to look at. I just wished she were more talkative. She was silent and when she was around me; she was as shy as a flower that closes itself at night.One evening, Mother was in the kitchen giving orders for dinner. She asked me to go get Isabella down to the dining table. That was the biggest mista
SEBASTIANA week had passed since I met Bella and cured her. Mother is still thinking if she wishes to work with me. My relationship with Isabella had developed beautifully and harmoniously. Even if she was not my mate, we were getting along just wonderful. In a similar situation was Vicky as well. In my last link with her, she told me about the man with whom she was sharing her life, and she sounded happy. I was also happy for her. I knew Teague for a long time and even though he was not her mate; he was someone I trusted to take care of my little sister. I always teased her that way as Mother told us she was born two minutes later than me. Victoria became stronger, reliable for her own pack. It was a long and heavy path, but my Vicky has always been fierce. We were indestructible together, but now she proved to herself and to our kind that she was strong and ardent in every decision she took.Today I visited Mother and maybe have closure on what I have asked her. I was worried abou
ISABELLABeing so close to him was burning me inside, only the burn was sweeter. They say that if your fated one was near you your body would react in a certain way, that only a Luna could feel. But with Sebastian I didn’t have that feeling, only pure carnal pleasure; and to be honest, I didn’t care. All I’d cared about was him. He was a handsome man from the deep of his blue-sky eyes to the gentle, low expressions of his voice. He was beautiful from the gentle touch of his hand upon my own to the fierce piercing of his gaze.I was ready to give him my heart and keep his heart safe, extending far down to my soul. His freshly shaved beard was like an invitation for my hands to wander in a lustful exploration way up to his neck and lead to his perfect chiseled jawline, getting lost in his manly, firm mouth. His eyes were piercing mine, and it was like storm clouds touched them; that is how blue they were. All I saw in them was desire, no other emotion whatsoever, and I didn’t mind, as t
SEBASTIANOf all the times, it had to happen now - red wine on my shirt, that’s exactly what I needed. As soon as I saw the girl, my initial response was to confront her face to face. However, as I moved closer to her, a strange and unknown sensation was unleashed within me. What was going on with me? Why was I so restless? Why was I going in for her?I couldn’t help but notice that her face was familiar to me. For a while, I could not remember, but then I realized. It was the same woman who had shamelessly come to get photos of my father at his funeral. Suddenly, an intense feeling of nervousness swept over me, and I became even more nervous.I had to take a moment to collect myself because my initial reaction was almost out of control. The thought had crossed my mind to walk over to her and give her a little shake, as I was feeling quite irritated with her behavior.The reasons for not doing this felt like a tempest that washed over my thoughts, leaving me feeling overwhelmed and un
SEBASTIANAfter 3 years… The years that followed were magical. We had it all: love, tolerance, respect, joy, happiness, and most of all, a baby, a little wolf. Bella was finally pregnant. We had learned that cheerfulness was more than a pure feeling. If you placed it at the beginning of all the things you wanted to achieve, then it would fill you with happiness and you begin to heal from the inside.They said to find my inner peace first because being happy was just the wonderful feeling that would follow. I found my spiritual tranquility with Bella. I was blessed because every time she walked into a room, that room was filled with light and good cheer. If that love was all about, then I was ready to embrace that emotion.We completed each other in everything and never had an argument or dispute over these years. Bella was warm, calm, and understanding. Although she was not my Luna, she was my mate, my partner for life. I promised her and to myself that I would never look for her; I
SEBASTIANSometimes during the day, I would avoid turning into a wolf's shape, as I didn’t want to expose myself like that. So this time, just like any other ordinary man, I took my car, but it seemed like forever until I arrived at GenetiX. I crawled along with all the vehicles, swearing and cursing the jamming in front of me. The traffic lights were now green, the next moment, red like some damn stupid game. After a few turns, I finally arrived. After all this time, the GenetiX building, as imposing as it was, still amazed me through its magnificence.As I was crossing the huge hallways, I linked with Liam right away. “Where are you?” I know I sounded worried, but I couldn’t help it. Something odd was going on that they couldn’t tell me on the phone and now all of them were not in their offices. “In the lab…” came the short and dull answer. My heart pounded in my chest, but I had no hint of hesitation. My pacing was firm and with every step, I got closer to them. I could hear their
SEBASTIANI was gazing in shock at the regretful casket that consumed her away too early and had been brightened up by her beauty, even in death. It was crazy how things could turn upside down in a second. I saw the one I loved every single day and suddenly she was gone, and a part of me left too. That was exactly how I felt right now. I didn’t even know if she was going to Heaven, or a place where she might feel safe and with no pain.My despair was huge and I just couldn’t shed one tear. I looked around at the few friends who came; they all had tear-stained faces, but not me. Their eyes were swollen with soaked grief, but not mine. Only my shoulders were slumped under the weight of death’s hand.We placed her in our home, her home. The very space she once felt rescued, lost, found, and loved all at the same time. But also this house killed her in the most horrific way possible.I froze facing her casket, and I had my gaze locked on her white porcelain face. I reached her cheek, slig
Through the hourglass of the past1200 AD, the Land of NorthumberlandDear diary, My life was not the way I pictured it. I dreamed of having someone to love, to rely on, but instead I had to fight against my family’s wish to marry into the pack. And yes, I was a werewolf, and soon a Luna. My parents pointed to Conrad Hewitson as my Alpha; he was caring and thoughtful, but my heart somehow knew it would beat for someone else.“My dear Lettice, you know we love you so much, but these are the rules inside our pack. We wouldn’t have survived for so many years if we had broken them” my mother’s voice was always kind. She was my shelter, my refuge, and my guardian, but this time I felt like she was my executioner. There was a burning fire in my mother’s eyes that no matter what my problems were, she consistently found moments of affection that built the foundation of the woman I am today. The family was very important to me, but sometimes their decisions affected me and echoed through time
