Sebastian's POV

"Ahhhhh!"

I jolted upwards from the bed as I heard Y/N scream out, trashing and turning as a nightmare gripped her. In an instant, I grabbed onto her arms that where flying through the air and tried to wake her, "Y/N wake up!"

Her eyes opened wide and she shot up, head butting me in the process. I groaned in pain and I heard her shriek in disbelief, "Merlin I am so sorry Sebastian! Are you hurt" She questioned, worry laced through her voice as she wrapped her arm around me. She was covered in sweat, and it stuck to me like gum, but it was alright, I didn't care about that.

"Yeah, I'm fine." I lied, my head pounding from the impact.

"I'm so sorry." She repeated and I opened my arms wide so she could crawl onto my chest. "Don't apologise again." I commanded and she instantly folded, her body relaxing into my hold. I could sense she wanted to say something so I started the conversation, knowing she was holding back.

"Nightmare?" Y/N gave me a gentle nod as she nuzzled her face into my neck. I trailed my fingers up and down her back, raising goosebumps along her skin, hard as diamonds.

"Sebastian am I bad person?" Her question took me by surprise, and I pulled back so I could look into her saddened eyes. "Why would you even say that? Of course you aren't."

A sigh escaped her lips and she adjusted herself so now she was sitting cross legged in front of me. I was absolutely exhausted but I tried my best to keep myself awake as she took in a deep breath and divulged all her thoughts.

"Something happened between Ominis and I earlier..."

My jaw hardened instantly, tension rising through me as she started to speak. I tried not to let me my mind go wild with negative thoughts but Y/N and Ominis mixed together was never a good sign.

"Right...." I urged.

She bit at her lip, her eyes everywhere but at me. I hope she isn't going to say that -

"I have been having...hallucinations of some kind as of late. When the Cobra attacked me and I rushed out into the lavatory, Ominis followed me there."

Keep calm Sebastian, keep calm.

"He...he comforted me, calmed me down. But then he..."

Sebastian keep -

"He then what?" I snapped. I did not wish to be angry at her but this waiting game was killing me and I needed her to spit it out before I gauged out my eyeballs.

"He tried to kiss me...but I pushed him away. I told him that what he was doing was wrong and that I was with you and he is to marry Poppy. But then he-he asked me if I truly felt nothing for him and that if I didn't he'd leave me alone for good."

Sebastian calm down. I wanted to kill Ominis. Sebastian calm down. I was going to kill Ominis. Sebastian calm down. No I wasn't going to calm down, that sneaky bastard tried to make another move on my woman? Yes he did but you're more rational - No I am not. I am livid. Scorching in rage.

"What did you say?" My voice was surpassingly calm even though my dignity was fighting for dear life against my tainted morality.

"You came into the room before I answered, I rushed out to you but of course, my answer is no. I don't feel that way about him."

A part of me felt like she was hiding something else but I didn't want to press. I did trust her and I believed every word that she had told me. However I wasn't happy about this, in fact I was so irritated that I hadn't realised that I was digging my nails into my wrist.
