Chapter 14:  the look

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 hard to become powerful was so I could protect her.

But the Alpha King had kids he should have thought of protecting as well.

he let his grief swallow him whole.

Now they will need as many powerful allies as possible if they are going to survive in this world we live in.

“I will do so, thank you for your advice” Logan said and bowed his head a little.

I looked at his brother.

I usually am very good at minding my own business but there is just something about him.

This Justice guy makes me feel a little bit uneasy every time I see him.

Not uneasy because I am scared of him.

but uneasy because the look in his eyes remind me of two people I know very well.

it’s a look that a person who is willing to start war has.

a person who always has conflict in mind.

I know that look very well and also how he looks at his younger brother as well is concerning.

Like I said though.

it is their family matter but if it somehow mess with my plans I will put an end to him.

As for now I will do what I do best which is minding my own business.

“enjoy the event, and greet your father for me” I said and walked away.

I couldn’t take it anymore, so I decided that its better I go to the balcony and get fresh air.

Standing outside I could see everyone walking around.

the event is now being held in the afternoon to avoid what happened the last time.

Last time a vampire and a werewolf had a fight and lets just say that it didn’t go well for the humans who were still up.

Plus, vampires were feeding on innocent civilians.

it was against the whole point of the event which is to keep our existence hidden from humans.

I looked around the city, people were going to their jobs, returning from them and some were just walking mindlessly.

Someone caught my attention; she was wearing grey jeans and a grey hoodie.

I couldn’t see her face or anything but for some reason she stood out among everyone in the streets.

Grey is usually a dull colour that helps you blend in and in most cases that’s what it does.

but for some reason she stood out which was the opposite of the desired effect.

A small wind blew, and her hoodie flew away revealing a tattoo on her neck.

The tattoo that was embedded in my mind and often would give me nightmares.

It was one unlike any other, unique, and scary at the same time.

It was the blood mark curse, the girl turned around and her eyes landed on me, those green eyes and blonde hair.

It’s her, its Scarlet.

she looked at me for a moment and I could tell that she recognised me from our very brief encounter.

She then turned back and covered her tattoo, and I knew that I should follow her but there were humans around.

I cant use my vampire speed to catch up to her.

but I did see which street she went to so I can just try to catch up with her.

I turned around to leave and follow her when I bumped into someone.

“woah there, easy, why are you in such a hurry?” Rose Watkins asked me.

“Miss Watkins, sorry for that but I do have somewhere I really need to be” I said politely.

I tried to walk away but she held my hand which stopped me altogether.

“you are still calling me Miss Watkins, really Sebastian? I have my intentions really clear to you, but you still refuse to see me” she said, and I snatched my hand away from her.

“you have made yours clear and so have I. I don’t want you; I never have, and I never will, I have told you so many times that I am not attracted to you” I said and started walking away.

I need to catch up to Scarlet.

I need to catch up to her before she runs off again and I never see her.

“its because of her isn’t it?

that Scarlet bitch is the reason you are still rejecting me even till this day.

What does she have that I don’t? I could give you more power and influence, plus I have always been hotter than her” Rose said, and I frowned.

“I don’t care” I said, and I could now feel the anger radiating from her at my words.

I have been telling her for centuries that I have no interest in her.

but even now she still insists on flirting with me any chance she gets.

She has lived longer than most woman, but she still hasn’t figured out that no means no.

“it’s because of her, that bitch is dead and gone but she is still in my way. I heard that you are looking for her again, I hope that even now she dies” she said, and I couldn’t control my anger.

In a matter of seconds, I had my hand wrapped around her neck and she kicking and trying to get out of my hold.

“I hate her” she still managed to say even though she couldn’t breathe well.

and her face was changing colour.

 “I am the one who doesn’t love you or even find you attractive.

Direct your hatred towards me and not her, say something like that again and I won’t spare you.

The reason you are still alive and will live to tell the tale of my wrath is because you are your father’s daughter.

Otherwise, I would have killed you the moment you even thought of saying her name” I said and let her go.

she looked up, trying her best to give her lungs the air they so much need and she smiled.

“you will never be with her again, its either you are with me, or you die alone” she said with a smirk.

“we shall see now; you shouldn’t be so sure about that Rose.

Who are you? Mother fate?” I asked before walking away.
