Curses & Cure: My Seven Werewolf Daddies

Chapter 8: Sebastian

Sebastian's p.o.v.

I am stupid, I accept it now.

My twins always said that I am a giant fool, but I never believed that. I thought that I am more intelligent than them, that I can also use my mind instead of my fist.

But guess what, they were right all along.

Maybe I should go and see a psychiatrist, I thought as I stared in front of me, a gigantic hall filled with overly excited teenagers, clapping and cheering after my speech. Yes, my speech. I am on the stage...I am their principal.

I am a high school principal...fuck, even the sound of it made me want to puke. I never wanted to become this...and who wanted to be surrounded by a bunch of brats anyway? Definitely not me, not after I had to take care of my five younger siblings. They were already enough.

But then that stupid Alpha Frank of this town decided to piss us off by telling us that Zeus had to leave because he didn't want a rogue in this school, it's not safe for other kids.

They all consider me and my brother rogues. We are not though, we are a pack of seven. Not everyone wanted tons of werewolves in a pack. We are happy to be just seven.

Anyway...that Alpha Frank was irritating us, deliberately doing this so we join his pack. And the old principal of this school was a werewolf of his pack so obviously, he suspended Zeus.

That's why I'd to buy this entire school, so Zeus can study without any trouble. But then...I did the worst mistake of my life, I decided to be a principal. I could have appointed any human as a principal. But, no, like I said I am a f*****g fool... I thought why don't do something new?

And that foolish thought of doing new, brought me here, in this hall of wooden floor and glass ceiling with red fluffy chairs and annoying teenager punks. God... How was I doing this for three years?

When Zeus was here, sitting in one of these chairs with his bright blue eyes...it was easier. Because then, I have an excuse that I was doing this for him. But now, when he graduated and there is no familiar face in this crowd...I have no idea why I am still here. There is no reason for me to remain principal now, is it? Zeus already graduated this year.

So, I should sell this school. I shouldn't do this job, shouldn't be around humans, not with my temper...I shouldn't even like this job. But I did. I like being a principal...I even enjoyed teaching sometimes!

How the hell is this possible... A guy like me, who had to spend his life killing people, and doing god knows how many illegal things...enjoyed being a principal?! It even sounds absurd.

I served in the military for some time, and those were my best years...I thought I was suited for that kind of job. That's why I hadn't joined my arrogant billionaire brother in his business. Silas was still pissed at me for this, he had to do all the work alone.

But...instead of helping him and using my brain for his company... I am here, giving a speech for summer break and motivating students. I cringed at my own pathetic thoughts.

Taking a deep breath, I decided to end my misery before I blurted something out that I shouldn't.

So, I looked at every excited face in front of me and smiled, " So, That's it.", I concluded, " Enjoy your break."

I stepped out off the stage, smiled back at the students, and left the hall...and that f*****g school.

As I crouched inside my car...like always I took out my phone and checked the school page as Toby drove my Porsche. This website is managed by students for gossip and their other shits. And teachers might don't even know about it. I find it from Zeus.

I smiled as I found my recent picture on it...ugh and the comments, these kids really need to stop ogling at my arse...and my voice is not that commanding. I scrolled down reading other comments about my new college drive decision.

I peeked at the rear mirror, making sure that Toby is not watching me blushing. These kids really liked me... They even called me the coolest principal. Ha! Looks like my brothers don't know me that well. I can be cool too.

Students really liked me, I thought as I read the comments, and just not because of my look. They liked me, despite my looks. I mean look at me, I have this ugly scar on my left cheek and in one glance, anyone would say I am some criminal, not a high school principal. But still, my students liked me.

I sighed putting the phone back in my pocket, my eyes staring at the window outside now, dense green trees, passing by fastly. I closed my eyes...feeling annoyed. I knew now, that why I enjoyed being a principal. It's because I liked being liked. Inside this giant body of mine, I am still some needy whiny baby who needed to be loved. f*****g pathetic.

I gritted my teeth, I can't let my brothers know that I liked this school, they will make fun of me...and then they will burn the school to the ground, just to bite me.

Sometimes we hate the people we love the most. And after what I did with them in the past, I deserve to be hated.

" We are here, Boss.",

Toby's loud voice dragged me out of my thoughts, making me look back at his warm brown eyes.

I smiled " Thanks, Toby, you drive well.", I complimented. Silas reminds me every day to do that. Toby felt sad when we don't appreciate him...He is like a giant baby.

" Like you..."

My wolf mumbled lowly, and I shoved him back into my mind. He is irritating. I am not like Toby... Shaking my head at my wolf's taunt, I stepped out of the car and gazed ahead at our house.

It resembled a castle, with its towering walls and aged brickwork, but its grandeur was marred by an air of desolation. The water fountain gurgled in the courtyard, and the trees rustled in the wind, but they could not dispel the eerie sense of isolation that pervaded the estate.

The house looked haunted, just like the people who lived within its walls; me and my brothers... It was as if some invisible force had sucked out all the warmth and vitality from the place, leaving behind only a hollow shell of emptiness.

The windows were dark and foreboding, and when I pushed the front door, it creaked open with a melancholy groan, as if reluctant to let anyone in.

I shuddered at the thought of spending another night in this desolate abode, surrounded by its haunted, lonely, and broken inhabitants. But there was nowhere else to go... In my long life, I live in numerous places, but every place was similar, lonely, dark...haunted. But soon I realized it was nothing wrong with places. It's wrong with me.

Wherever I go...it is always like this, as if something is missing. Someone is missing.

My shoes made a gloomy tug sound as I walked on the white tiles, losing my tie with one hand. I looked around, surprised that the curtains were open, letting sunshine warm this cold place. But still, as I stopped in the living room, I felt shudders at the coolness.

" Sebastian..."

I turned around hearing my name, but before I had any time to reply, Dimitri practically jumped at me, a coffee in his hand which he almost pour into my favorite brown boots.

" I saw her.", He exclaimed, breaths heavy, sweat dripping down his sharp face as if he was running a marathon. " She was there, right in front of me."

" Who...", I frowned at his words and also at his black hoody...didn't he feel hot wearing that. It's not that cold.

" She...she could see me, touch me...I...I fall."

Dimitri started pacing left and right in the room now, between the couch and table...he almost knocked the lamp. i***t.

I glanced at the table, his laptop, and some papers all over it. What the hell this kid was doing... He is twenty-three but still has no maturity. It's all because of Silas, he babied Dimitri and Zeus too much.

" How it can be possible?".

I stepped in front of Dimitri, stopping his rant. He started talking to himself like a psychopath. There can only be one psycho in this house, and that's me, not going to let him take my place.

My dark eyes stared at his bright grey ones as I grabbed his shoulders," What are you saying, Dimitri.", I asked, " Slow down and take deep breaths "

He did what I asked, took deep breaths, chewing his bottom lip in the process. No wonder why girls found him weird. I huffed, stepping back, " Now tell me, whom you saw?"

" My mate..."

I tried, I tried so hard to hide my sympathy. He didn't need it from me too now. But still, watching my kid brother all crazy...just because he thinks he saw his mate. It's so f*****g hard.

How am I supposed to calm him now, I thought as I stared at his deep grey eyes. I am not good like Silas. Should I just leave, it's better right? I could call Silas and he will take care of it...

" Sebastian, I said I saw my mate."

Fuck it.

" Dimitri, You know you can't have mate anymore."

He blinked at me, once...twice and then he jerked my hand away. Ugh... Dimitri crouched on the couch, rubbed his face with his palm, and then again stood up, as if suddenly recalled something.

My eyes soften as I watched him again walking left and right at the same place. I remember how painful it was when I found out about that, to be alone for the rest of my life...without any mate. I almost killed Souvenir when he told me. And Dimitri...he is still in denial, I think.

" I know, I am not stupid.", he mumbled lowly after a long pause, " But Drakon says we could still feel our mate if she is alive...even if we are not."

" We are alive, you are alive.", I whispered lowly, trying to be as soothing as possible. Don't want him to go all insane again.

Grey eyes glared at me as he took a step toward me, " No...technically we are not. You know that too.", he growled. " And I saw my mate, she saw me too. I am not lying."

See...that's why I prefer to be locked in the attic with Souvenir instead of coming down in this madhouse. My brothers are stubborn.

" Listen, Dimitri.", I sighed, giving him a pointing look, " You are just confused, and I know it's a lot to take in, but we cannot have a mate anymore. None of us had ever felt our mate, not after we turned.", I explained, as if talking to a baby, " And you turned three years ago, it's a long time.", I added.

However, Silas already told him this same thing over and over again. But Dimitri just doesn't understand. And judging his angry face, he still doesn't get it, does he?

Because Dimitri took another step closer, glaring at me, as if challenging me with these grey orbs. And then, I heard a name I never thought I will hear again...

" She was Evelyn... my mate."
