To achieve his goal, he knew what he had to do. It was forbidden among his kind, but he knew it was what he had to do. Sebastian must fall in love with a mortal. But to protect her, he would have to appear to her in his wolf form, and bite her. This was a very dangerous thing to do since his kind were so much larger than the average dog or wolf. He would also have to gain her trust, and expose his kind. Once he found the woman, he would just act like a normal human. Little did Sebastian know, the woman he had been looking for, had been there the whole time.
“NIKKI!” A maid yelled. A young maid in her twenties with long black hair ran to answer the call. A stout lady with gray hair handed Nikki a silver tray with their Master’s Evening meal and a glass of brandy. She knew exactly what room to take it to. What she didn’t know was that her taking the silver tray to Sebastian would change her life.
Walking down the hall, she was actually scared of what the master might think. Nikki was a newer maid who had been hired as Sebastian’s personal servant just the other day. Her heartbeat was steadily increasing the closer she got to Sebastian’s library door.
As the new maid walked down the hallway, Sebastian could hear her pounding heart. He laughed to himself.
Silly Mortals. They get scared over the slightest things. Last time I got scared was when I decided to slate my thirst, and accidentally attacked a vampire. That was a mistake. A very painful mistake. Sebastian got comfier in his armchair. The raging fire was giving off a nice woodsy smell, and heating up the room nicely. I hope this new maid can keep up with all my personal needs that need to be taken care of. I absolutely hate making up my bed. If she’s good enough, maybe I’ll pay her more than the other maids. They won’t like that very much, but she will do most of my personal work. I think that deserves more pay than cooking my meals, or dusting a table off.
A slight knock to the large oak door brought Sebastian back to reality. He beckoned for her to come in, and he could hear her heartbeat become even faster. It sounded like it was about to explode. He laughed to himself again. This poor girl could obviously tell that there was something different about him.
As Nikki opened the door, she could tell there was something definitely different about this man. Ever since she was a small child, Nikki had had a psychic ability that could allow her to know everything about a person as soon as she looked in that one person’s eyes.
As she met Sebastian’s ice blue gaze, she nearly toppled over with the strong wave of emotions. Thirst, craze, sorrow, loneliness, and even a small hint of terror. All of Sebastian’s memories flashed before her eyes, and she instantly knew everything about him. As Nikki walked over and set the tray on his table, a new emotion ran through his mind. Love.
