Mind games

"The vision, what was the vision about?" She reminded me of what we were talking about.

"Eh… The vision… Oh, yeah! Well, Queen Sophia showed up in my dream. She was crying so hard while holding a faceless dead man's body. In front of her was the woman from the dream before, she was holding a baby no more. Instead, there was a man by her side, a man who was facing the wall. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't see his face.

The face of the faceless man between her hands finally started to show up. The dead body belongs to my mate, to Liam." I lied while telling the truth.

It wasn't easy for me to convince Sybil that I don't know who the man was facing the wall, but I did it anyway.

She had even offered me to dive into my brain, and to watch my whole vision, for sure I refused, Lucky me she didn't insist on it, and lucky us the walls were soundproof so no one was able to figure what was wrong between.

Elijah talked to my father and told him about the news in here. He then posts pending the mission of turning new vampires, since the price of safety 'my safety' shall come first. He also made some orders of finding the witch girl, but not harming her until they make sure I'm safe.

Same with Liam, he's doing his best trying to save my life, while I'm watching his enemy roaming around him, and not doing a thing.

But I will fix the whole thing, I can't let my mate die, on the other hand, I don't think that I can tell him in person.

The only thing I can do is to make Albert leave, then everything would be fine for sure. If Albert is gone, then my mate would be safe, and I won't have to tell him a thing about his brother.

My next move was to find Albert, he was quietly missing since I kicked him out of my room. As I was about to leave the house, I met Lorena by coincidence, and it seems that we were the only ones at the house. Based on what happened last time we talked together, it seemed that she was avoiding me, and I don't blame her. The only one to blame is myself, that's why I made my move and I called her.

"Lorena!" the moment she heard me calling her name was flowed by the sound of her heartbeat pounding like playing drums. She did not say I think, so I took the lead and apologized to her.

" I just want to apologize for what happened that day, not because what I did is forbidden, but because I know it's wrong. You're one of my people I should protect you from danger, not to cause it to you."

Not sure from what she heard, Lorena kept on quiet for a while before she finally says "It's alright, it just happens that we start it all in the wrong way. I mean I was also mean to you, and I do apologize for that."

I didn't expect her to forgive me that easily, but maybe Elijah was right when he told me that we started the wrong way. She offered her hand to me then she said "No hatred", I answered her the same while shaking her hand on mine "No hatred."

It feels good to know that all the misunderstanding between us was fixed. Now the only thing I have to do now is to make sure that Albert shall leave Liam's side before my vision comes true.

As I left the house, I let my senses to take control while guiding me to Albert. As expected, he wasn't alone. He was in a far apartment located a bit far from the mansion we were staying at, along with Logan and Liam.

I jumped inside the apartment from the outside through the window, Logan and Liam were both totally surprised by my presence, but I can not tell the same for Albert.

He crossed his hands while smirking, then he adds "First she kicked me out, and she's looking for me isn't this weird?"

His words caught the attention of both Liam and Logan, and they were both looking at me now.

"I came here to apologize for my behavior back then.

" The smirk on Albert's face was no longer existing after that I spoke. It's like he was sure that I am up to something, but he can't tell what that thing is.

"Among everyone in your room, why did you pick Albert to kick out?" wondered Logan, and I found myself in a hard situation.

I came here to find Albert, yet my brother and the stupid mate I have were here with him.

I faked a smile to my brother then I answered his question.

"You certainly know how much I don't trust Lycans. But you are my brother, I would trust you no matter what – and I am sure you'll have my back whenever I need you. On the other hand, Liam is my mate, though I don't trust him at all, my Hybrid would trouble me if I kicked him out."

Albert then took the lead to finish instead of me." And since I am no one to you … you decided to get your madness on me." He spoke, and all I wished to do was to punch his face.

Instead of punching his face, I found myself faking another perfect smile, then I added "Exactly the reason why I am here. To apologize and also to ask in-person to go back along with your BROTHERS to the mansion." I said to him while popping on the word brother.

I'm not really intending to get him in the mansion, but while getting him away – I shall keep all subsections away from me, and it seemed working so far.

Out of guard, I was when Albert spoke, "So how about you guys go before me to do that thing." He said while winking at my brother, and Logan's face got red, and Liam started laughing at his reaction.

Too busy to ask about what's wrong, I decided to ignore the whole thing.

As we were alone, I finally was able to be myself. I decided to waste no more time, so I took the lead to speak.

"You need to leave now! I don't want to see you around both of Liam and Logan,"

"Funny, isn't it? You came first and asked me to stay, then you're wanting me to leave? It's kinda confusing me." He said while chuckling.

"I'm here to play no game! You better leave, and never to get close to my brother or my mate."

He then started laughing, not taking my thread seriously, then he said.

"Why on earth do you think that I would care about what you want?"

This time I decided to answer him not by using words, how about I show him what I am made of.

I used the mind control gift that I copied from Lorena, then I started playing games on him.

..... He was alone and in front of him was Selena, she was wearing a sexy black dress, her hair was left down, and her lips were full of cherry red looking lipstick.

As she noticed Albert, she ran right away to him and threw herself into his embers. The next thing she did was to grab him to her side, then she started eating his mouth.

They both kiss each other patiently and while they were doing so. Selena pulled away and started coughing blood.

Albert hurried himself by her side trying to help her, she then holds on him and begged him.

"Please! Help me, make it stop … The pain … I can't" She couldn't finish her words, since she was coughing hard right now. Blood started running out of her nose, ears, and eyes ?? Her heartbeat, on the other hand, was pounding faster than it should be making a hell noise like the drums.

The noise didn't last for too long since she was out of breath now! Laying in between his hands was his lifeless mate. She was gone now, and he could do nothing about it.

Fury and anger ran through his veins, but they were nothing compared to the pain he was feeling. Tears were running out of his eyes like water passing through a river, just by then, he was no longer beside his mate's body.

Instead, he was in the living room of his apartment bending on his knees in front of a proudly standing Elisabeth.

She bent down close to his ears then whispered "This is nothing compared to things I can make see and feel, nothing to things I would do to you. You are not much to me, do a favor to yourself and leave before I make sure you do."
