The Immortal King

2: Sebastien

Sebastien sighed aloud in agitation, "Don't. This is not a f*****g game, you know what I'm talking about"

I shifted in the cushioned chair a bit twirling a strand of hair around my finger, a thing I tend to do when nervous.

"..are you talking about me running from you?", I spoke running my other hand against the brown office chair , "You, my friend, should stop living in the past. And besides, you found me within two days so I don't understand why you're so upset"

Sebastien ran a hand through his hair and moved aside the papers that had currently been in front of him, "You don't understand why I'm so upset? One, I'm more than f*****g upset. You left on a very important night. The night I needed my queen the most-"

"-It's not like I left you for dead", I interrupted softly not able to break eye contact.

"Don't interrupt me. You know I don't like that", he sighed, "And so the f**k what if you didn't leave me for dead. You still left. You're my mate. You're the mate of an Alpha- The Alpha. You don't get to just f*****g leave after being introduced as the queen all because you're feeling a little homesick"

His temper was rising and I could see that his fists were now clenched against his desk, "The hell is wrong with you?! Do you have any idea how embarrassing that was?! T-to go outside searching for you to hear that you've run off- again?! I mean s**t! I thought we were done with the running. You've only been here barely a month and for about half of that bare, you've ran"

I hadn't realized that tears had begun to brim until he was done. I didn't like making him angry because he'd always yell and for some reason, my body didn't take his emotions lightly.

I had already been dealing with my emotions and now I was here to deal with his too? This was bullish*t. 

Everything was bullish*t. 

"W-well, if I'm such a f*****g handful, why don't you just reject me?!", Now it was my turn to speak out of unnecessary anger. "You know I don't want to be here. And I'm making everything more difficult so why don't we just cut the cord? I-I just wanted to give my family the proper goodbye. I didn't want to just leave them to some corny phone call telling them that the bastard immortal King was now my mate and I was being forced to live with him! They deserve better"

My heart was beating and I was so through with all of these emotions, "I'm sorry that it took a couple of runs to actually get to them! Maybe if you'd just let me be with them, we wouldn't be here!"

I heard him slap his hand hard against his desk causing me to jump. I watched as he angrily got up and made his way towards me. 

I'd done everything wrong, but it wasn't my fault. He was making me emotional and he was yelling and I was getting annoyed and ugh, I hated him.

He grabbed both sides of the office chair and squeezed them until his knuckles went white. My eyes wandered up to his black ones as he brought his face down to mine.

"Don't. Ever. Yell. At. Me", he spoke dangerously calm.

I bit my lip, a part of me afraid of what would happen next and the other part finding it unbelievably cute when he was angry.

Fucking emotions.

"I would've let you see your family whenever you wanted to after settling in to your new life. My intention isn't to just keep you cooped up in this house as my queen who does nothing but bare my children. I don't even like you like this, all angry with me...I-I'm just trying. But you're being ungrateful sweets and you're pushing me-you're testing me", I sucked in my bottom lip and watched as his eyes maneuvered towards them.

My heart beat sped up and I quickly let my lip go. I remembered what happened the last time that happened.

He noticed my gesture and continued to my eyes, "I don't like being tested"

"Okay," I croaked silently. 

Nothing else was said afterwards. Just silence. This was one of our moments. 

We'd been having these moments after every argument where no real solution is found, it's just us stopping abruptly in conversation to look at each other. 

I took a second to breathe him in as I always did when we were in the midst of one of our moments.

He had a signature scent of mint that mixed in with something new everyday.

I hummed to myself low enough for only me to hear with my eyes closed. After a couple of moments, he'd moved away from me and I almost whimpered from the loss of his presence.

Emotions. 

"I'm not rejecting you", he said suddenly before looking down to me addressing my earlier words, "Sorry sweets, but you're stuck with this Bastard Immortal King"
