Chapter 36
Dean pov
I watch as the guard drags Luca's body away. Lia stands there watching him with horror. She looks too pale for someone who just came back with her lover.
Or maybe Luca got to show her the jerk in him. A smile tugged on my lips. That rogue of a brother thinks he can pretend for long. We all know he is soulless. How dare he try to stab me.
I searched around for Lorenzo. I have been looking for him since I returned.
“Lia, what's wrong? You look worried” Sabrina said as she walked towards Lia. She reaches out to Lia but she takes a step back. I tilt my head, I thought they were friends because she supported her when I rejected her.
What made Sabrina release me is something I don't know about. I think she wants to propose an alliance. Something I will eagerly accept.
She places her hands on her chest “It's me, Lia. Are you okay?. Did Luca do something to you?” She asked, her voice laced with pretense.
Lia nods slightly and walks away. I watch as she disappears into the corridor that leads to her room.
Sabrina's blank face creeps in with a smile. The maid comes in and offers her a glass of Orange juice. She nods her head at the maid and watches her leave.
She raises her glass in the air towards me with a smile. I nod at her. She takes in a sip of the juice with a plastered smile.
“It seems your brother has done something wrong to his love interest”
I scoff and resist the urge to roll my eyes. “ He is not my brother,” I replied. I am sure she knows he is not my brother. She just wants to get on my nerves.
She playfully taps her head “Oh, my bad” she replies with an eerie smile.
Silence exists between us for a while. Just her sitting on a chair by my side with her legs crossed sipping wine and staring at me.
I clear my throat as I decide to break the silence “ What do you want from me, Sabrina?” I ask my voice deep with seriousness.
She smiles at me and takes down the remaining wine in her glass with a gulp before facing me. “I will help you destroy your cousin. In turn, you would let all the witches come back to the Attic land” she says.
I shake my head “It's park Sabrina, it is for wolves and not witches” I retorted my voice deep with anger.
“If you walk with me it will be for the benefit of both of our kind” she replied.
“Witches don't have a kind. You all are evil. You don't have a kind” I reply to her with a glare.
Her eyes darken and for a moment I thought she was contemplating the best way to kill me. “I saved you, Dean. You owe me a favor, “ she replied.
“I am your Alpha, Sabrina” I reply, pronouncing the Sabrina softly “I owe you no favor” I reply.
She stands up immediately, her voice deep with anger “I will take you back to where I met you if you dare me” she warned.
I chuckle “Well, unfortunately. You can't stab me while I am alive “
“You are forgetting that we are witches. I will search through you and find your weak point. I am from old magic and if I wish I will make you ridiculed by all men” she warns meaning every word she says.
I swallow hard at the thought of her threat. If she could remove a white oak from my chest she could do anything.
That reminds me, the guard had complained that they did not see her enter. Could she have used magic too? My father had always warned me that witches are the most powerful creatures.
They can make or break you. But they hated wolves. I am sure they love vampires more than us. Having an alliance on her side would be beneficial for my reign.
It would help me get rid of Luca easily. But what if she turns her back against us just like they did to my father?
I raise my head to meet her glare “I will think about it” I reply to her.
A smile tugs on her lips as she bows and leaves. Just when she is about to go, Lorenzo walks inside blood-stained. His neck had been bitten.
“Lorenzo,” Sabrina says with a smile. Lorenzo looks at her for a while or maybe for too long. She turned to me with a smile.
“I will be on my way” Immediately she leaves and I turn to Lorenzo. I stand up and walk towards him.
“Who bit you?” I asked. The skin is already swollen. My eyes widened in shock, he was bitten by a hybrid. Hybrid bites are poisonous but I thought my father made sure he erased all the hybrids.
He shakes his head, his eyes shaking as if he is confused. “I can't remember,” he said.
I furrow my eyebrow. “What do you mean by" you can't remember,” I ask.
“What was Sabrina doing here?
“ Don't skip the question, who bit you?
“Answer me, Dean. What is she doing here” he asked with a sharp tone.
Sensing his anger I answered him “She released me from Luca's stab. In return, she asks "I bring back the witches”. I answer his question.
“ And?”
Why Is he so bent on knowing about Sabrina? Is not like I ever lie to him about something. “I told her that I would think about it,” I replied.
“Don't even try thinking about it. She does not mean well” he replied.
I lower my eyebrow. How does she not mean well? I mean, I just told him that she released me. The least he can do is to be happy.
“Why?” I ask.
He raises his head to look at me “Immediately I stared at her, my memory vanished including the memory of the hybrid who bit me” he replies and walks away.
What the hell is Sabrina up to? and who could be the hybrid?
