61. The Dangers of a Secret

Juliette's POV:

After packing up everything in Seb's office, I sneak out again, but to my surprise, there's a gaping hole in front of the office door.

Secret passage.

Way to be more obvious, Caleb.

Rolling my eyes, I go through the dark tunnel and I don't stop until I see the faint light of the Moon at the end of the tunnel. I gaze at the Moon for a moment, silently asking for strength to do this.

Yes, I will admit that I'm shit scared of finding out what they're hiding from me, but come fucking on!! I'm the Queen of a fucking Vampire Kingdom for crying out loud!! I think I deserve to know everything that goes on in it, right?

And if Sebastian is not going to be the one to tell me, then I'll have to search for answers myself.

Sighing, I start to move. I move east, just as Caleb said, and in about twenty-five minutes, I'm nearing what looks to be Hall City.

Hall City is a huge land that's between Europe and America basically owned by both Vampires and Humans. There are some humans that know of the existence of vampires, so in order not to be killed, they agreed to share this land with us vampires. But obviously, no vampire can feed on the humans there, or it'll break the contract in half.

As large as the city is, it's not the main city of course. The main city is somewhere in Spain, which makes so much sense considering that Seb is half-hispanic.

Anyway, I reach Hall City in mere minutes and try my hardest to remain inconspicuous as I can. This city is filled to the brim with vampires at this time of night. I go to the airport immediately, and I find my designated pilot in front of the jet that I'll be using for a few hours.

"Good morning, Your Majesty." He says before bowing down, but I stop him.

"Good Morning, Henry, you don't need to bow. We're not in the Kingdom right now, and we really need to be in the air right now." I tell him, and he nods his head in understanding.

"Alright then, the jet's ready for you, Ma'am." He says, and I smile at him.

"Thank you." I tell him before stepping inside the jet.

Soon, after telling him where I want to go, we're in the air, and I'm highly anticipating my findings. As stupid as it is, I'm going back to the apartment where all this shit started.

I'm going back as a different person. I'm no longer the cruel and merciless Juliette who would've killed a threat without a second thought. I'm the woman who thinks about something before making a decision.

I'm the woman that doesn't blow up as easily as she would've done a month ago. I'm the woman who's a damn Queen now....a damn Queen who seems to be im the dark now because my Mate is keeping secrets from me.

Freaking shit.

Sebastian's POV:

Even before opening my eyes to the glare of the sunlight, I realise that she's not here. Even before opening my eyes I didn't feel her presence next to me. Even before opening my fucking eyes I realised that her side of the bed is faint of her scent.

I don't even need to call her out because I know she left. She blocked her Mind-Link from me and has put up a barrier between us. All she left was a stupid note on the dresser.

"Baby,

I've gone out....hunting, you could say. I know, I just got back yesterday, but since you guys refused me of any of my ideas, I'll just have to do it myself, just like I've done these past two years.
