The King's Obsession

51

C251 - Meddler- Part 3

When the time of evening had arrived, Sehun sat in front of the grave of his father whom he had buried a few hours ago after finding him dead in his room. With everything that was going on, the loss and grief had been too much for him to handle.      

"Sir, the cost for the work is twenty-four coins," came the voice of the caretaker, who was the person to look after the cemetery. Sehun turned, putting his hand in his pocket to give the money to another man who had helped him in putting his father in the casket and burying him in here.      

Sehun' eyes looked bleak as they stared at nothing in particular. The caretaker left with the other man, who had come to take his money, leaving Sehun alone in that part of the cemetery as there were no other visitors. Fresh flowers had been placed on top of the grave. When his mother had passed away, it had been difficult, but he had his father with him, who had also left him alone in this world.      

The sorrow he felt in his chest, turned to hatred because it was always easier to deal with emotions like pain by replacing it with anger and hate. Giving reasons like his father would have still be alive if he were there to take care of him. Since the time he had found his father dead, Sehun tried to find reasons and solutions of if's that was of no use as his father was long gone and dead, and his father was not going to return.      

If he had not gone to visit Lady Catherine's mansion, if he was not forced to marry her, this would have never been the case. At least he would have been next to his father's side, to hear his old man's last wishes. As hours passed, Sehun came to despise the Barnes' family, and on the other side he despised the King of Devon who had disrupted his life by his mere presence.      

Sehun had accepted defeat when it came to the love he felt for the girl, Lisa Harris, but the King had played dirty. The vampire had made sure to corner him to the point where he would have nowhere to go. It was because of his meddling that things had turned this way. Sehun had never meant ill or any harm towards anyone. He was a man who his mother would be proud of, but it seemed like goodness brought nothing but bad luck to him. The King had snatched the girl whom he loved, wasn't the King happy? That he was now involving himself in matters that didn't concern him?      

Blood started to boil under his skin as more minutes passed. The sky finally turned dark. Sehun didn't know how long he sat in front of his father's grave. He stood up when he heard a loud howl coming from the forest which was behind the cemetery he stood in.      

Sehun took note of how the night had arrived quickly, and the crickets had started to chirp behind the bushes. Hearing another loud howl that followed with the previous one, he decided to leave the cemetery so that he would meet the King.      

With nothing more to lose, Sehun didn't care about the King, nor did he care about Mr. Barnes. Sehun was a simple man, and he was living his life peacefully until the time of the Hallow that took place in Devon. Starting to walk away from his father's grave, Sehun almost made it through the cemetery when out of nowhere, a wolf came to stand in front of him. The wolf growled, and Sehun looked around scared and in worry. There were wolves in the forest, but they didn't often come out to the village or the town because of the people who normally chased them away. The wolf looked feral, baring its teeth for Sehun to step back and keep a safe distance, but then came another growl from behind him.      

Before Sehun could do anything, the wolf at the front jumped towards him, biting his leg and making him cry out loud in pain as its teeth sunk into his flesh. Hearing him scream, the cemetery caretaker quickly made his way there with the torch of fire in his hand. The wolves growled again, but they didn't stay near Sehun as they promptly fled back to the forest.
