In the Shadows of a Legacy // A Sebastian Sallow story

Chapter 14- Jealousy//flashback

"Ugh Omi, why would he take Imelda. Imelda fucking Reyes!" My voice raising as I paced the floor of of Ominis's dorm.

"I mean you've refused to speak to him for atleast a month now." It's true. After the night in the undercraft, Sebastian and I refused to talk to each other. Neither of us wanting to apologize first.

"So?" I spat. "That doesn't mean he should take the first bimbo that throws herself at him."

Ominis smiled smugly his arms folded across his chest. "Sounds to me like your jealous, Miss Rose."

I scoffed, "I am not! I just think that he should apologize to the way he spoke to me and-and" my voice trailed off.

"And ask you to the Christmas Ball?" Ominis teased, causing my cheeks to turn red. I was glad he was blind so he couldn't see my embarrasment.

"No!" I took a deep breath. "No, it's just that as his friend-"

"Right his friend," Ominis taunted, a stupid smirk across his face.

I groaned, exasperated. "Yes as his fucking friend, or well atleast his um-dueling partner and battle teammate. He shouldn't be losing his mind over some girl. Especially not Imelda Bitch ass Reyes."

Ominis feigned shock, a loud gasp escaping his lips. "Language, Miss Rose." he teased again.

I rolled my eyes, "Oh shut up you whore."

Ominis laughed, sitting on his bed and patting the spot next to him. Reluctantly I let out sigh and stalked over to where my friend sat. I cozied up next to Ominis and he pulled me against him, my head gently laying against his shoulder.

"Look Sebastian has been my oldest and longest mate. Just give him some time, okay? He's confused."

"Right, confused." I muttered. "He literally told me that I was scared of him, because you were turning me against him and practically called me a whore." I grimaced, images of that night in the undercraft playing in my head.

"I never said he was smart." Ominis chuckled, his hand stroking my arm, soothing my angry body. "Look darling, Sebastian is fantastic at pushing those he cares about away. I know that he cares for you-" He took a deep breathe before adding, "he never bloody shuts up up you if I'm being honest."

My ears perked up, curious as to what Sebastian has been saying about me.

"If you want my advice, which of course you do, because I'm a genius and know you two better than you both apparently know yourselves." I rolled my eyes again. "Give him some time. Show him how much you mean to him."

Show him how much I mean to him? An idea already forming in my head.

"You're right Ominis!" I squeeled pulling into a tight hug. "I'll show him exactly what he's missing."

"What? No Ophelia I mean-"

"What the bloody fuck is going on here." Sebastian spat entering the dormitory. I slowly pulled myself out of Ominis's embrace. I glared at Sebastian meeting his eyes that look on fire.

"Relax mate," Ominis spoke, "We're just talking. We're friends we're allowed to do that."

"Keeping secrets from me again, are we?" Sebastians voice dripped with venom.

I rolled my eyes, "What the hell is your problem Sebastian?" I rose from the bed, crossing my arms to face Sebastian.

"I don't have a problem."
