BONUS CHAPTER

This does not count as chapter Twenty-Five. I hope you like it!

SEBASTIAN'S POV:

"Sebastian!" Isaac shouted. In response, I turned and drove my fist into where Elizabeth had just been lying, easily splitting the detestable bed down the middle.

Several of his minions had already turned into disgusting curs. I imagined it wouldn't be long before Isaac followed.

Derrick took Elizabeth. He knew how willful she could be. How similar to myself she tended to be when in a dire situation.

There was only one solution he could use for that, if she lived at all.

Thinking about the viscous liquid he'd forced into me, the madness that only Elizabeth had the ability to bring me out of, made me nearly shake with rage.

A hand fell on my shoulder, and I reacted out of instinct; Isaac's body flew completely through the wall behind him, and his mutts braced to attack.

"Stop!" Isaac snarled at them. They obeyed immediately, making me scoff.

I turned and exited through the now-missing wall. The sound of Isaac struggling to stand after having the breath forced out of him made me slightly less angry.

"Sebastian," Isaac called. I ignored him.

It wasn't long before his footsteps matched mine.

"Where are you going?" He huffed beside me.

"Get away from me." I growled.

"You think she'll appreciate you getting yourself killed?" He asked quietly. I didn't break my pace.

He tried again.

"She's probably dead, Sebastian."

I stopped. Isaac stopped a few steps behind me.

Everything was silent as I processed his words. Many minutes passed as my anger only increased.

This time, it was directed at him. I whirled around.

"Stay. Out of it." I murmured, fighting the urge to drive his head into the ground. I could end his life so quickly. One minute ounce of strength; that was all I needed.

I turned and began walking again.

"Sebast-"

"Stay!" I roared. "You're a dog, for God's sake! Learn your damned place!"

"I'm not letting you go after her." He responded. My hands stabbed through my hair.

Do not kill this creature.

Elizabeth would be mildly upset, at the very least.

"I'm not coming after her. Not yet." I snapped. Isaac's eyebrows furrowed. Confused.

Moron.

"Where are you going, then?" He asked. As if he genuinely expected an answer from me.

"Why is it your concern?" I shot back. His eyes narrowed.

"She's a part of my life too, Sebastian." He said, annoyance thick in his voice. "I'll follow you regardless."

We glared at each other as I deliberated. To his credit, he didn't shrink back or even blink.

Not to his credit, really. His unflinching determination was due to the pitiful alpha blood running through his veins.

It would be prudent to include him. Where I was planning to go, I needed to exude power. I could easily do this myself, but bringing a guard dog would be especially advantageous.

"Very well," I said through my teeth; the thought of dealing with him made my skin crawl.

"So where?" He implored. I turned and began walking again.

"My kingdom." I answered. "What's left of it."

Thank you for reading! This was very different for me to write, and I hope I did Sebastian a little bit of justice. It is difficult to convey his independence/air of superiority/dedication through his own POV. This was a tiny experiment, and because it does add to the overall plot, I decided to add it in. I wanted you to have a little taste of Sebastian's inner mentality :)
