4. A Hard Promise (EDITED)

Sebastian

"I've found the perfect way to get to her." I tell Riley, my Royal Adviser and best friend, and Stephen, my baby brother,

They both give me bewildered looks.

"Please don't tell me that you're going through whatever shit plan you have inside that brain of yours." Stephen says to me.

"We all know that to stop her, we either have to kill her, or she has to kill me, and we also know that option two is not an option at all, especially with what's going on right now." I say to the both of them.

"Look, Seb, this is dangerous - she's dangerous - and you, more than anyone, should know why." Riley says before slouching on one of my couches in my office.

"And yet I'm following through with it. There must be some kind of deal that I can make with her." I suggest thoughtfully.

"If she really is your Mate, man." Riley mumbles, and I narrow my eyes.

"Yes, she is my Mate, and you wanna know how I know?" I ask the both of them.

Stephen looks at me with intrigue in his eyes, while Riley looks at me lazily.

"I know it's her because she's the last fucking person I Turned. All the traits she has, all her killing methods are all because I ensured it would be so."

They both look at me like I've lost my mind.

"Sebastian, dime, ¿estas loca?!" Stephen asks, his eyes widening in surprise.

(Tell me, are you crazy?)

I nod with a smile.

"Sí," I reply, "pero solamente un poquito. "

(Yes, but only a little bit.)

They both look at each other uncertainly, then they turn to me.

"So... what you're trying to say is that you had a hand in training her." Stephen says, and I nod.

"Certainly."

"And you Turned her?" Riley asks, and I smirk.

"Personally."

"You do know that her end result is killing you, right?" Stephen asks, and my smirk widens.

"All part of the plan." I state, and I see their worry increasing.

"You aren't gonna let her close to here, are you?" Riley asks, and I roll my eyes.

"Of course I am, don't be daft," I retort, "besides, she'll want to know that her mother's alive."

Stephen sighs in distress.

"This is utter bullshit. I can't believe that we have to go after some bitch who has an agenda against you, and you're letting her, you stupid bastard." Riley comments.

I narrow my eyes at him.

"That bitch, as you call her, is my Mate and possibly your future Queen so for the sake of my wellbeing and yours, respect her." I say firmly, to which he nods his head in understanding.

"Are you sure you wanna do this? Cause once you cross this bridge, there's no turning back." Stephen asks, and I roll my eyes.

"You sound like a bitch, hermano. Yes, I'm sure of what I'm doing because I'll stop at nothing to get my Mate to be with me." I say firmly.

"Entonces, ¿estoy asumiendo que de su expresión, el plan está en movimiento?" Riley asks.

(Then I'm assuming that by your expression, the plan is in motion?)
