Drake’s pov
“You almost killed that innocent girl.” I said to Sabrina who didn’t even look at me.
She just kept packing since we will be moving to a new location soon, “all you do is whine, I did what you want me to do. What I have been doing for years now, I kill people so you can continue to get filthy rich.” she said.
I hate how she is so distant these days, “yes, but this time I told you to take it easy on the girl, we were just testing her.” I said.
She just kept packing and ignored me, I held her hand and she turned around and looked at me.
The moment I saw her eyes I let her go, she wasn’t the same girl who came here 4 years ago, the girl who didn’t even know how to fight. The girl who was hopeful.
But most of it is my fault really, I turned that innocent girl who believed that they were coming for her into a monster.
“Relax okay? I am sorry, but I am worried about you” I said to try and calm her down.
Honestly, she scares me, I am the Vampire Prince, and I am about 150 years old and strong, but I fear a 20-year-old girl.
But if you knew what I knew, what she is capable off then you would be scared too.
“You wanted me to be stronger, didn’t you? I am stronger now, and you have a problem with it as well?” she asked me.
Honestly, I didn’t have a problem with her being stronger, I know it’s what I wanted, but I didn’t know that she would turn into this. When I said all those things about Bryan and her brother I wanted to give her a reason to live. And I did, but I didn’t know that she would be driven by anger and hatred.
“Are you trying to save me, Drake? You had my parents killed and now you act as if you care about me.” she said to me, and I didn’t know what to say at all.
“I didn’t have the choice, I told you that I do as my father told me.” I said to her, and she just shrugged like it is not a big deal.
I know she hates me and one day she will want to kill me, but I also know that I am not a priority on the people she wants to kill.
The reason she kept fighting, the reason she kept going for all these years and the reason she got stronger is so she could get revenge.
When I told her that someone close to her was the reason her parents were dead, the reason that we knew about her existence she was pissed. I saw the silent vow she made in her eyes, and I watched as the anger consumed her for years.
That’s all she lives for now, vengeance and nothing more, I sat down on the couch and took a sip of blood.
I looked at her and I found myself smiling, how stupid could I be to fall for a girl who hates me with all her being? But how couldn’t I fall in love with her? She is the most interesting person I have ever met, I watched her as she grew from that little girl to the badass woman she is today.
How could I not fall for her?
Even if she is distant and cold, I still fell for her.
She turned and looked at me, “why are you suddenly concerned about the girl?” she asked me with a smirk.
“I am not concerned about her, I am worried about you.” I said to her, and she chuckled, it was more of an evil laugh that I didn’t really expect.
“Worried about me? Don’t tell me that you are that stupid, Drake.” she said with an evil glint In her eyes.
I looked at her confused, what does she mean I am that stupid?
“I will explain, don’t tell me that you are stupid to fall in love with me. The same girl you had people capture, that same girl whose parents you killed and the same girl who wants to kill you.” she responded and sat down.
“When I do escape this place and I will, I will first kill the people who broke my parent's trust. And well I have another list of people too, but when I am done Drake, I am coming for you. I will make sure that you die a slow painful death as well, and then I will kill your father as well.” she said and got up.
The cold shiver that ran down my spine told me exactly what I needed to know; she meant every single word she said. I knew the moment she looked into my eyes 4 years ago and told me that she was going to kill me that she meant it.
Back then, her green eyes shone bright, and she looked so harmless, but now a glare from her is enough to make you want to bury yourself dead.
It’s my fault, I turned her into this.
Bryan’s pov
I took another sip of whiskey and looked at Zac who was just as exhausted as I felt.
“You think we will find her? It's been four years and nothing, I don’t want to say this but maybe Brina is dead.” he said.
I knew he meant well so I couldn’t be angry with him even when I wanted to.
Sabrina’s disappearance hit him as hard as it hit me, he had just lost his parents and his sister was gone too. They loved each other so much.
“She isn’t dead Zac, she is my mate, and I am sure I would have felt it if she was dead.” I said.
I felt this void in my heart, but I also felt this warmth that told me that she is somewhere out there, and she is alive.
“You two need to rest, you have been out all night and the tip you got was wrong.” my mother said as she entered the office.
I hardly sleep much; I don’t think I have had a good night's sleep in years. Sometimes I sleep for like 3 hours but then I have a terrible nightmare about what could have happened to Sabrina.
I need her, I need my mate and every day the regret and anger I feel towards myself grows day by day.
If I had told everyone that she was my mate, had I just told everyone she is my mate then she would have stayed with us. That night she would have gone home with me and would have been safe by my side, but I just had to be stupid.
“Brother, maybe it's time we stopped.” Dylan said, and I chuckled at this.
He claims that he loves her, but after he found his mate I could tell that he couldn’t care less, he moved on, but I can’t move on because she is my mate.
That little chubby girl with blue eyes was meant to be my mate, the person I spent the rest of my life with.
I got up without saying a word, I know that everyone thinks that maybe it's time we give up, but I don’t want to give up.
I can't give up on her, not now or ever, I will look for her until I am old and grey because she isn’t just my mate. She was the girl who managed to make me smile, she looked at me and I felt loved as I had never felt before.
I need Sabrina, she is my purpose and the reason I live.
I got to my room and immediately fell on the bed. I couldn’t sleep right away, I never could sleep right away, I slept and like always woke up in a few hours.
I took a shower and then just sat on my bed and looked at the wall, I have a large wall covered with all the places I went to look for Sabrina. All the tips and anonymous messages we got telling us that someone spotted her somewhere.
Well, most of them were dead ends.
Someone knocked on the door and I looked at Zac as he stood there. It was clear that he didn’t get much sleep either.
“We got another tip.” he said, and I could tell that he wasn’t confident about it.
Nor was I, it is like someone has been sending us fake tips to mislead us but even though we know that they are fake the fact that they might be really keeps us going.
I took his phone and looked at the message, this one was different, it only had coordinates and nothing else.
I looked at Zac, “let’s do this.” I said to him, and he nodded.
I hope we find you, Sabrina. Can we please find you?
