Sebastian"Show me the CCTV footage of yesterday," I told Pete who immediately ordered one of his guards to bring his laptop.They worked fast, wary about their movements as I have already let them know that I was more than willing to kill them if they fail to give me the right information. So, it was either do or die for them, although my situation was not so stable as well. The argument with Athena has left me and my beliefs shaken. She fucked me up pretty badly, and my last statement before I exited the room, did the same thing to her in return. I'd seen it in her eyes— I have broken her."Alpha, here's the footage." David opened the video, connecting the laptop to the big monitor for a better view."Speed it up." I barked, tapping the ash of the cigar on the ashtray beside me as I fixated my eyes on the screen, to be very specific, my mate.There was no question that a werewolf's eyes will miss any of the odd changes or even the slightest movements that did not go with the situat
CelineI waited for the phone to ring for a solid twenty minutes until it finally rang, breaking the burdening silence of the room.I quickly received the call, hoping to hear the news I have been waiting for, "Hello. Has he left yet?""It took a bit of work, but yeah, he left." The response from the other side made me finally release the breath I did not know I had been holding on to for so long.Finally....It was a relief that the plan was finally working and he was coming out of his cold facade. Although it was still not sure if this change of one night was going to be permanent. Sebastian was absolutely capable of holding himself together till the last bit, nothing could be comparable to how strong he was when it came to pushing away everything he has, to hold onto something he doesn't want to let go.If there was anything he truly treasured from the bottom of his heart, that was his curse and now, perhaps, it was Athena who undoubtedly held more importance to him."He's coming t
AthenaHe slowly closed the door, surprisingly not with a loud slam like all the other times. Something about him felt strange, at first, I could not identify it but when the smell of strong liquor hit my nose I finally realised why his movements were slightly unsteady. He was drunk. Alcohol and cigars were a part of his daily life, it was no surprise for me to smell alcohol from him, however, today he looked a bit too consumed by the effects of the liquor.His movements were barely collected. Deep down I was expecting the worst. Sebastian's arrival has never brought any good news for me. From the very first day, he stepped into my life, everything has been a living nightmare for me, that I wanted to escape so badly but failed every time.Perhaps, if someone else had brought me from the auction, things could have been even worse than this but, at the very least, I wouldn't have to live with the fact that it was my own mate who left no levels to stoop in order to hurt me, put me thr
AthenaHe kissed me as if his life depended on it, within every caress of his tongue against mine, he was awakening some new within me. I didn't know the start or the end, all I was aware of was the fact that I was absolutely engrossed in everything he did. I truly loved this man, and yes, if it did make me pathetic for being in love with the man who has left no bounds to hurt me, behaved like a monster and was a heartless being who did not care about anyone but him, I did not care. I was not in the state to consider anything at all.Sebastian's one request has thrown all my beliefs, my decisions, my hopes and dreams, every negative and positive thing in my mind here and there, like a cluttered mess which I couldn't gather whilst my eyes were locked with ones. And the result? Here was I, under his captive like all the other times but the mere difference was, today, he was not here to cage me; He was here to free me from the same cage he'd put me in, and constantly build a new wall ar
AthenaSo many thoughts were running in my head. Some that made me want to forget everything, and some that pushed to the same dark pathway that I wanted to escape. I was afraid that this moment would end just like every other good thing that only comes once in a lifetime.My hands froze right after opening the third button of his shirt.When the sun would go up and the effects of the liquor would vanish, Sebastian won't be the same anymore. He'd put his same mask on, and get set on his mission to make me loathe him at any cost. He'd not show me this smile anymore, he'd not behave like this anymore, he'd simply not be the same person anymore instead he'd pretend to be the Sebastian who was a living nightmare for me and only intended to show me the worst.Perhaps, it was beyond my capability to understand what picture he had in his mind, what was his view about this world, what fears was stopping him from letting go of the curse which he considered his escape from the reality and if it
Athena"I can die for you, but I wish I could live for you."— His voice echoing in my mind in the thick fog of darkness draped over my eyes brought me back from my deep slumber. My heartbeats went erratic, all my thoughts tangled into a big mess, the need to watch him crawled up my skin, and the neglection of this unfulfilled desire of mine made a weird burning feeling spread throughout my body.My eyes flew open, and my body shot up to sit straight at the realization of his absence—He was nowhere to be seen but his scent still lingered on my skin, reminding me of all his gentle caresses and sensual touches from last night.Where was he?I glanced at the bathroom door, hoping to hear any sound that could indicate that he was there, however, the heavy silence existing in the room made it very evident there was none else's presence in the entire room except for me.His absence was the last thing I wanted to face today when all my questions were bombing inside of my head, leaving me deva
CelineThey say whilst on the one hand where truth can be the saviour for some people, lies can work as venom if said in the perfectly right way, at the wrong time. Vulnerability— Only thing a person can't realize about themselves but at the same time, give away the most, especially to their enemies.When I saw the unsetting gaze of Athena searching for Sebastian everywhere, I knew right away what move that'd get me the best out of this opportunity. Of course, my deep-rooted hatred for Sebastian and the want for revenge can never make me let go of my guards even for a second, I knew where he was cause his own trusted fellow had sold his loyalty long ago. From watching my family get destroyed in the hands of that demon Elijah's hands to standing up on my own feet to seek my revenge, I have seen it all, the best and the worst but the burning flame of vengeance had never lessened, how would it? That bloody Sebastian was still alive, perfectly fine!But not for long, I'd seen his restless
SebastianThe room was a mess, a heap of wrecked useless belongings. I broke everything I found within my reach, trying to find peace in destruction however, I felt empty. Without her, I had nothing but nothingness screaming inside of me. Each second felt agonizing and every breath felt like a burden; I was falling apart, and the shadows around me were detonating, forcing me to face the reality that went much deeper than the ferocious depth of this curse. The claws of my wolf scarped against my skin, the fangs fought to tear through, and my skin steamed as I restricted his fur from making their way through, every vein of my body was seething in the same fire I could see burning in the darkened orbs of him within mine as he stared at me through the mirror. He wanted to rip me apart and get out of my skin, tear away from me on his own and the reason was not unknown.Athena...The woman who snatched every one of my restraints and broke them into millions of pieces that I couldn't put to
