Karisa Papadopoulus' POV

I was looking at the sky before I saw my mother from a distance. I think I felt the deja vu right now. I was looking at my mother before she was calling after me. Being the child that wanted to feel the warmth of her mother, I went to her.

I was running as I was afraid that she would disappear from me right now. Like the reality to come crashing onto me now. I was breathing heavily before my mother disappeared from my sight. I was calling after her before I was falling.

I did not know where I was but I saw the faces that I was familiar with. My father, Karin, Sam, and Sebastian. He was the last one before I saw his eyes were red and I was drawn to it. I wanted it for my own before I was hitting the abyss.

I jerked up from the bed as I was looking around. I don't know where I was until I felt the familiar warmth beside me. I was looking at Sebastian who was staring at me. We did not talk much before I was trying to get out of bed before he stopped me.

"Woah, why the rush?" He asked and I felt the tears were brimming my eyes. I don't know why I wanted to cry so bad when I know that my doom last night was from my own choice. I don't know why my chest was being sliced by knife a multiple times when I know that I have given him my prized possession; my virtue.

"Karisa,"

"Just don't," I said before I was trying to get out of bed but I was being pulled back by Sebastian before he was on top of me again. I was punching his bare chest before he was taking my wrists and pulled my hands above my head. Then my dam broke.

"Hey, what happened? Tell me," he said as I was shaking my head. All the grief that I had felt for my mother, even though I did not know her, was too overwhelming. And I think I know Sebastian will be the same as her.

He would leave me alone.

I was crying silently as I was trying to push that fear and loneliness behind me but it just made me cry even more. And I think Sebastian was lost for words because the only thing that he did for me to stop thinking about the pain was to kiss me.

And one kiss leads to another as we were joined in no time and he was taking me out of this world again and again until I can't move a muscle or think about my lost and probably him later.

I was leaning against his chest as I was making circles before Sebastian was caressing my bareback. I don't think I wanted to be out of this bed if I wanted to. His warmth was too comforting for me.

"Karisa—"

And that's when I knew that he will be leaving me here, in this cave while he went out and left me alone. I got up from the bed as my back was to him. I don't want to think about anything but his hand on my wrist stopped me from going away.

"Karisa, please listen,"

"To what, Sebastian? That you will leave me and I was your conquest? I think I know when you need to go and I will not shackle you to me anymore," I said before his hand tightened around my wrist before he was turning me to look at him.

And that was a mistake as he was standing naked, his full glory.

Heat rushed to my stomach as I was looking at his magnificent body. I don't think I could let him go now that I know what he could do. I cannot think of the future women that will be sharing his bed.

I felt possessive all of a sudden.

I felt my eyes were heated somehow before Sebastian was pulling my chin to tilt my head back and his garnet orbs were staring into my emerald orbs.

"Amazing," he mumbled before I rolled my eyes at him as I was getting out of his hold.

"Let go, Sebastian," I said as I was trying to pull my wrist out of his hand but failed miserably. He smirked before I glared at him.

"Do you feel anything different from last night? From our mating?" He asked as I was furrowing my eyebrows at him. Mating? What was he talking about?

"What do you mean?" I asked him as he stared at me. Not good, I think I wanted to jump on him all of a sudden.

"Do you feel different at all? Have you been hearing things that you should not or maybe you are oversensitive to the light?" Sebastian asked as I was laughing at his question.

"I think you're crazy but now I know you're mad," I said before I felt it. I was hearing something distinctive when silence fell between us. I heard the thumping of heart.

Thump!

Thump!

I was looking at Sebastian and I think I can see him now. I don't know if it was because of the morning sunlight but I don't think we're approaching dawn yet. I gasped as I saw his brunette hair and garnet orbs even more now.

"How? What—"

"I think you need to sit down so that it will be easier to tell you," Sebastian said before he urged me to sit down and I was looking at him. I was waiting for him to tell me what the hell was going on with me!

Sebastian sighed before he took my hands into his. I never saw him being this attentive before. Maybe last night has changed him? But who was I to change from being a recluse to this caring guy?

"Karisa, what do you know about this island since you are the daughter of the carpenter that ordered our lumbers from the forest. Do you know about the tight community that has been circulating this part of the island?" Sebastian asked me as I was looking at his face.

Should I tell the truth or should I fabricate some of them?

I sighed as I was closing my eyes before I was looking at him. I think I should tell him the truth. We had shared the bed last night and I think it was only right, to tell the truth.

If I wanted us to go any further than just sharing the bed.

"I know that there were still werewolves that have been living in plain sight. Even though the legend suggested that Alexander the Great did kill some of them, there are some of them survived and settled in the forest in Paphos. So, to answer if I know about that tight community of yours, well…" I said as I was looking at our hands before I was looking into his eyes. I felt being calculated by him

"Well what, Karisa?"

His question was making me nervous. How will he react if I stated that I believed that Sam and her new husband were werewolves, as much as I know that Sebastian was one of them as well? That's why people were talking about it in town.

"I don't know how to say this but I think…I think we all know that tight community was werewolves pack, Shadow Pack," I stated as I looked into Sebastian's uncanny red orbs. It was unnerving but also calming at the same time. I don't know why. Then Sebastian smiled and asked me, "What about Ultima of a pack?"

What?
