Sebastián

t h r e e

"You must be Sebastián's mate" He smiles brightly at me. I give a small smile and nod my head. "Are you a werewolf?" He asks shyly, aware of the fact that he's asking a slightly offensive question, that is if I am a werewolf. And I am.

"Yeah, I am" I reply pursing my lips. He seems confused but decides not to say anything else.

"Aleks is there a reason you're here?" Sebastián asks through clenched teeth. His head snaps to Sebastián as if he was remembering he's in the room.

"Yeah actually, Amara is here, and she wants to talk to you," He says seriously, I watch as he holds his breath, waiting for Sebastián's reaction.

"Did she say what she wanted?" He asks. Aleksander replies silently with a shake of his head. Sebastián curses a couple more times before storming out of the kitchen without a word. Um ok ...

Aleksander and I look at each other. "This happens a lot ..." He confesses, most likely referring to Sebastián storming out of the room. "Do not worry, you'll get used to it" Hah thanks.

I nod my head in understanding. "Well anyways, I better go see what he's up to," He says hurriedly before abruptly leaving as well.

Man, what is up with royals? Are they always like this? I stand in the silence of the kitchen, looking over to the microwave to check the time.

10:30 pm

I guess it's late enough to go to bed ... it's not like I have anything else to do.

Deciding I've spent too much time in the kitchen, I walk out the same door everyone else did and am met with a cozy living space that I remember seeing on the way to the kitchen. I look to my right to see a flight of marble stairs. Ok, those look familiar.

Once I get to the top of the staircase I realize no I have no idea where I am. The whole house looked exactly the same to me. I did not have a phone or a mind-link to the pack so I could not call anyone so I start wandering the endless halls. I wasn't about to mind-link Sebastián.

After about twenty minutes I walk past the same painting that I have walked past at least 50 times. Ok, so I've just been walking in circles ... great.

I'm sitting on the cold floor when I finally really look at the painting.

It was a man. He looked a lot like Sebastián but also shared some features with Dmitri, Sebastián's Uncle. Pushing myself off the ground I walk closer to the painting so I could read the metal plate at the bottom.

King Artemi Sebastián Angelo Santos VII

Santos, that was Sebastián's last name. Could it be his father? Grandfather?

From the corner of my eye, I see another painting that I had not realized before. This time it was a woman. She had shiny black hair and prominent cheekbones. Her eyes were the same shade of green as Sebastián. There was a golden plate on this painting as well.

Queen Evanessa Reamara Feline Santos I

The same name, Santos. Maybe this was Sebastián's mother. She was truly beautiful, her grace emanated from just her painting. She looked so regal and proper. Like she would use the word "shan't".

"Cristine?" My heads snaps to the direction of the shy voice. It was Evelina, the same girl who showed me my room before, the pack healer.

"You have no idea how glad I am to see you right now!" I exclaimed, walking over while smiling brightly. "I'm so lost" This causes Evelina's face to break into a smile, her laughter was infectious, as light as air.
