Chapter 84: Feeding

Charlotte’s pov

“With Sasha and Justice” he said and showed us a photo of him with Sasha and Justice.

“I don’t like this one bit; he has been in hiding for years. Why come out now?” Sebastian asked and seemed deep in thought.

His eyes landed on me.

“I think he is coming after you” he then said.

“When those two are involved I wouldn’t be surprised” I said and saw as Sebastian frowned.

“Keep an eye on him and also on Chris, if he is working with Sasha and Justice then it means that he is also working with Chris” he said.

“Isn’t Chris your friend? So, all this time he was the mole?” I asked him and he nodded.

“What will you do now?” I asked him.

His aura changed, and he went from a playful to being dead serious.

“I will kill anyone who tries to get in the way of breaking this curse.

No one will hurt, I will rip apart anyone who even breathes wrong around you” he said.

Why did those words just make me all warm and giddy inside.

He means every word; he would kill anyone that breathes in a suspicious way.

“But I know my little brother, he is impatient” Sebastian said with a smirk.

He then kissed my forehead, “everything will be okay” he said.

“Will you still hold the masquerade ball?” Mark asked him.

“of course, knowing my brother he will show up. I should take advantage of this, have some of my trusted men ready” Sebastian said.

He sounded so relaxed for someone who just heard that his dangerous brother is working is even more dangerous people.

It seems like our enemies are working together to come at us.

“Relax, you are really strong, and we both will be able to protect everyone.

This time we break the curse, you have my word” he said.

“Your word is final” I said, and he looked at me surprised just as I was.

Where the hell did that come from?

“You came to call me for breakfast right?” Sebastian asked me and my eyes went wide.

“Ohhh shit, I completely forgot the whole reason I was here” I said and then looked at him.

“You knew why I was here, so you heard me coming?” I asked him and he just shrugged.

“The walls are thin, come on I am hungry” he said, and I nodded as I got up his lap.

He pulled me back.

“what? Aren’t we going? You said that you are hungry” I said, and he nodded.

"But the food downstairs wont satisfy me” he said, and I thought about.

“Then what do you want to eat?” I asked him, he pulled me even closer and then whispered in my ear.

“You” he said, I buried my head on his neck, I cant believe the nerve of this man.

Did he have to be so blunt?

I heard him laugh, “come on then lets go” he said and then I got off his lap.

He fixed up my hair and my clothes.

“I need to shower first” he said, and I nodded.

I looked at him, he was also looking at me and then he smirked.

“You are still here? should I take that as a request to shower with me?” I asked.

“No, okay see you downstairs” I said running outside out.

“And why are you all flustered?” May asked the moment I got to the breakfast table.

“Yes, why are you so flustered?

You were gone for like 30 minutes, his office must he very far” Alexa said.

“Stop talking, he had a meeting with Mark that’s all” I said, and everyone nodded.

“He will be down after he showers” I said and started eating my breakfast.

Everyone was done, I wanted to wait for Sebastian, but I don’t need to give them another reason to make fun of me.

Sebastian came downstairs a few minutes later all showered and fresh.

Honestly how can one person be this hot, the black hair and blue eyes combination is something I cant get over.

“I am sorry I am late; you are my guests and yet I let you break fast all on your own” he said.

He is so well spoken; I don’t think I have ever seen him lose his cool ever.

I smiled because its hard to believe that this is the same man who said that he wanted to eat me.

“What’s so funny?” David asked and I shook my head, “nothing” I said.

“No need to apologise, you have been so good to us” May said.

“Yes, you have also been treating us good as well” Clara said with her usual gentle smile.

“Then shall we talk business?” Alexa asked and everyone nodded.

“First I would like to say a few things.

There is a masquerade happening here tomorrow, and I anticipate that things will get a little dangerous” Sebastian.

“A little master?” Mark asked.

Sebastian looked at him, “a lot dangerous” he corrected.

“Why? If there will be danger then why hold it?” David asked him.

My cautious little brother.

“who are trying to draw out?” Alexa asked him.

Sebastian told them, not his entire life story but about his brother’s hatred.

“Wait? This person wants to kill you or even my sister?” David asked.

“Yes” Sebastian answered plainly, no other explanations to try and make a point. Just the simple truth as it is.

“Do not worry, this is my battle to fight.

I will ensure that you are taken somewhere safe while I deal with the mess” he said.

I looked at him, I don’t want him to fight this battle alone.

“I am staying, you will need a date” I said, and he looked at me surprised before shaking his head.

“Your safety is top priority; I won’t put you in the line of fire” he and I nodded.

“It’s a good thing you aren’t, I am putting myself” I said.

“If Charlotte is staying then so am I, plus I need to protect as well. if you die the curse cannot be broken” Alexa said.

“Well, my mate is staying then so am I” Clara said,

“I don’t have the choice in the matter. I go wherever my older sister is” David said.

“So, what do you need from us to do?” May asked.

“Just dress up and look good, I will have people sent over with some clothes.

I am guessing you didn’t get time to pack up for such an occasion” he said.

“What are you talking about?

Of course, I packed a tux somewhere” David said but the look on his face said it all.

“Yes you did” I said.

“we will try the spell once more, maybe today it will work, and you will be able to get your memories back” May said.

“Well then, good luck with that” Sebastian said and then got up.

I looked at his plate and realized that he hardly ate anything.

“I will be back” I said and quickly followed after him to his office.

“Was there something else?” he asked as I came to his office, and I shrugged.

“You hardly ate” I said, and he nodded.

“it’s okay, I can survive” he said and then started looking at some files.

“You drink blood right?” I asked him and he nodded with a smile at my obvious question.

“Blood” I said, and he looked at me confused.

“Blood, its in the poem, the blood of the sinner.

She hated you.

I could see the hate in her eyes as she looked at you” I said, and he smiled.

“So, the idea that her own daughter would let a vampire drink her blood, the blood of the Hale family.

The royalty of witches must have drove her crazy” he finished my sentences.

“Okay then, feed on me” I said, and he shook his head at this.

“Lets try this spell first, if it doesn’t work then maybe I will consider feeding on you” he said firmly.

The way he spoke left no room for arguing, “okay then” I said but I didn’t like it at all.

I didn’t like how he turned me down.

It just made me feel a little suspicious about why he didn’t want to.

I met Mark on the way.

“Mark can I ask you something?” I asked him.

“Yes ma’am, you can ask anything” he said.

“Feeding on human blood, is it different when you feed directly from uhm the source?” I asked him.

“Yes ma’am completely different, feeding indirectly from a glass is like drinking water from a glass.

There is nothing special about it but feeding directly” he then paused like he was trying to find the words.

“Its intimate, it can be quiet intense on both sides.

That is why usually humans fall in love with the man that feeds on them.

It’s a special type of bond, I don’t know how else to explain it" he said.

“No thank you” he said and then a girl came and stopped in front of us.

Clearly very human.

“I am here for his majesty, he needs to feed” he said.

“He is inside” Mark said leading her there. Amazing, he refused to feed on me but will feed on her.

He will experience that intense and special bond with her but not with me.

And he claims to love him, if he does then why wouldn’t he want to feed on me?

He did it once then why not now?
