A moment.

Sebastian.

"Have you gotten any words from Ethan? ''l asked, breaking the awkward tension.

" No, my King."

"What is their emblem dish? I'm hungry, anything is fine as long as there are no eggs," l said wrapping my hands at the back as l walked into the private inn.

"I will have everything prepared to your taste my King, have some rest, let's lay low and wait for Ethan."

"I will have some rest, l would love to visit the villages in the evening, l guess different villages have different pots to offer."

"Yes, my King."

I stood by the window after a long bath to have a good look at the outskirts of the city. My mind is troubled. What would it be like if we met each other? Would he hate me as he hated me years ago?

I sat down frantically to have the food that was rolled into my room.

"No words from Ethan yet?"

"No, my King, " Derek answered as he stepped out the door, I'm worried, l sent Ethan, one of the closest to me, to find Bernard, l have spent a lot of money in having a city search, identity search, years to years, months to months, does he really doesn't exist anymore.

Yet it always the same result every time, this time he is taking a little bit too long to get back with an answer, he is Scout trained by my Father, l heaved the plates of food to the ground with the back of my hand agitatedly.

Derek rushed inside and gazed at me with pleading eyes as he went on one side of his knees.

"I wanted to eat because l was hungry, l guess l wasn't hungry enough, clean it up."

"Yes, my King, what else can l do for you? You don't seem pleased? The sun will set soon so we can go out for a walk.

" l guess my mind is doubtful and overwhelmed by an upcoming possibility, get me a male that looks just like Bernard, l guess he can get me off."

"As you wish my King."

I laid back wandering in my mind for hours, would it be instinct if l can at least feel familiar with a scent that feel like his own, even a skin as crimson as his own, how long will Bernard keep me yearning for him, all l see is his rages eyes that sparkle like a glimmer of unsatiated love.

I laid there mindlessly and l had felt the sun go down, l blinked undoubtedly that there is no way Derek hasn't returned from the order l gave him. If he didn't see a look like of Bernard he could have reported back to me.

I stood up to get dressed to go about my stroll, the door slowly clerked open.

"I'm sorry my King, thankfully you look calm, l-l didn't get a boy as you requested, knowing you might regret mating with other later, you have been on a spree of finding you Mate, l think it's will be best if you abstain from such activity for now," Derek said and l nodded deliberately, l know exactly what he means, l lost control and got frustrated for a moment and moreover, l don't fancy anyone complains as they will cry about bruises and marks on their body, l hate to see sadness on the one l have devoured face, so l rather stick to killing them in the end.

Derek is obviously avoiding this and I'm glad he did what he did. We took a stroll in the villages, and some towns felt warmer than the others.

It was better to go out to explore at dusk. Nobody will recognise me this way.

"My King, it is said that some of the Villages are led by a Pack, but the villagers prefer to keep it that way, they prefer the village name to be in place to portray diversity, just like San Siro, under the Mystic Pack, it's a few yards from here," Derek said.

''I have no business with what they do, tell me something new, "l said and immediately l stepped my foot into the village as if one side of me was unlocked and l shrugged off my stamina.

" Are you okay, My King?" Derek asked worriedly.

I went on my feet like l had no words in my mouth. This village feels somewhat special. We walked around vaguely enjoying the busy scenery, people packing up their stores and breezes blowing from the South.

So many delicious scents in the air smelt like an extraordinary perfume, but one particular scent was distinct to my nose but l ignored it defiantly, l went on my feet at a slow pace and l glared around seeing nature and the ways of people.

I stopped to pick up on the blueberry fruit l saw, it is indeed a seasonal fruit and it will be weird if a season-oriented Pack like the Autumn wouldn't have it, immediately l threw a ball of it to my mouth my ears pick up a vase that fell loudly to the ground, shambling in pieces, my eyes rapidly went to that direction.

My jaw cringed at the sight of a green set of eyes that looked just like Bernard, my nose recognised the scent that scented just like his own, and her facial features looked just like his own. Did he reborn into the body of a woman?

I paid attention to her as she nervously waved at me, her green eyes were like those of Bernard when he looked me in the eyes to kill me. It haunts me every night that I'm so sure that he is the one.

She nervously crouched down to pick up the broken vase, that is dangerous for her, "l murmured as my legs moved with my thoughts.

" l will help you," l muttered honestly as l squatted with her, yet she was already clumsy enough to cut a finger.

"Thank you, " She said, as she quickly put her cut finger in her mouth, l induced a closer look at her face, her thick black hair, combed to both sides yet so bulky.

"My King, we should leave, she should be fine," Derek whispered in my ears and l nodded slightly.

"What is your name, beautiful one?"
