Chapter 14: Zachary Somerhalder

Zachary Somerhalder

Alexander's POV

"How long are you planning to keep her?" The blue eyed man known as my father asked sitting comfortably in his so called throne. Zachary Somerhalder is known to be a fearful pureblood but he suddenly casted himself away from our race. He wasn't the vampire king but he is much higher than the king. The king is the face of the throne but I know my father is behind him. The king is his puppet.

I've been living for several thousand years and if you think that's a long time, don't even get me started with him. He still look in his mid thirties even though he's been living for who knows how long. We we're never close, we only see each other twice a hundred year and this is one of them.

"How do you know about her?" My eyes sharpened upon mentioning Astrid.

"Do you take me as a fool, son? You haven't visited me for the last hundred years but it doesn't mean I don't know what you've been doing so I planned to visit you instead. Bisitahin mo naman ako paminsan-minsan. Besides, I'm still your father." He said with a deep voice that would scare anyone but not me.

"Why are you really here, father?" Walang paliguy-liguy na tanong ko. He must have a reason to visit me all of a sudden.

"Hindi ba pwedeng nami-miss lang kita?" He said showing a smile. He might look charming and friendly in the outside but under that smile, lies a dark side of him.

"I think you're the one whose taking me as a fool." I said sipping my wine.

"Pour me another glass, slave." He commanded at the female slave. The slave poured him another glass with shaky hands.

Zachary, my father hissed grabbing the nervous vampire by the neck and twisting it's neck and within a second, the poor slave was already on the cold floor.

"If she's afraid of me, hindi na dapat niya pinahalata sa akin. I hate weak people. Besides, she shouldn't be hearing our conversation today." Ilang saglit pa ay lumiyab ang katawan ng patay na bampira. Isa iyan sa ability na namana ko sa kanya. Hindi naman lahat ng ability ko ay galing sa kanya. Pureblood always have something different from each other.

I can make someone forget and change its memories while my father is able to know your emotions and your darkest secret when he looks at you through the eyes. No wonder, alam niya ang tungkol kay Astrid. At ito rin ang ginamit niya upang kontrolin ang King. He must have learned the King's secret and used it to his advantage.

"Hindi mo pa sinasagot ang tanong ko Alexander. How long do you think you are going to keep her by your side?" He asked with a calm voice yet it holds authority in it.

"Forever."

My father throwed his head up laughing loudly. "You seriously think that is possible? There is no such thing as forever. Everything has to end. Even us vampires who are immortal, we would eventually disappear."

"What do you really want?" I asked again growing impatient.

"I'm just making sure you won't do a mistake again. Higit sa lahat, ikaw ang dapat na mas nakaka-alam na hindi dapat pigilan ang kamatayan. You have no right to prevent it." He spat. I know what exactly he's talking about but I didn't care when I saved Astrid from death. I can't let her die.

"Yeah? But you have the right to change someone's life? And you think you can control me? I will never let you interfere with my life again." That was one of the reason why I'm distant with him. It all happened a hundred years ago when he tried to decide for me. May malaking bagay siyang ginawa na dahilan ng malaking pagsisi ko ngayon.
