My Cursed Sadistic Alpha Sebastian's Curse novel Chapter 13

Athena

Judging by the woman's facial structures and wrinkles that draped all over her face, it was not hard to scrutinize that her age could not be less than sixty. Her skin color was light brown and multiple freckles were dotted on her crinkled skin, grey covered most of her hair.

There was a strange sort of care shining in her eyes as she looked at me.

"Who are you?" I asked.

Confused and baffled by her sudden arrival. I did not even know who she was, and what could even be the reason for coming here late at night?

"I am Julia, I used to work as Sebastian's nanny when he was a kid."

Soon as she spoke what Sarah had said the day I came here after Sebastian purchased me rang in my mind as a recognition.

"If anyone who has the possibility to know about it is...Julia."— About his curse.

If she'd come a few days, maybe I'd have bothered to ask her about Sebastian and his past but now, I just did not want to.

What I experienced was enough to tell me he was and has always has been the assailant. His curse too had to be bestowed upon him because of his cruel deeds.

"Why are you here?" My voice held no emotion whatsoever.

"I know you are Sebastian's mate, and I had been trying to reach here ever since I got to know about it. I know you are not from here and this place and everything else is very new to you. There are things that you don't know but you need to and there's is something you should know about your mate, he's..."

"Cursed, right?" I finished her sentence before she could.

She looked surprised by my statement, a flicker passed through her eyes but she spoke anyways, "Yes but the truth behind it is different, it's—"

"Listen, I don't know why are you here or why you are trying to tell me all of these but I just want to let you know that I know all of it. He got the curse from the moon goddess because he killed his own father, and a monster like him deserved to be cursed. Now please leave soon as possible otherwise, if he comes and sees you here with you, he'll not leave you alive," I spoke, "I don't want another person to die because of me."

I saw surprise pass through her eyes, to be a specific surprise would have been an understatement— It was shocking, almost as if she couldn't believe what I was saying.

As I had expected she spoke once again.

"He's not like what you think, Athena. He's indeed cursed, and he has indeed done things that might make him seem like a monster to you but...he's not like what everyone can see. In reality, he is a victim, he is the victim of that cur—"

Every cell of my body burned with anger.

"What are you even talking about? He's not like what I think and He is a victim? I can't believe you are serious right now," I sneered, "He doesn't seem like a monster to me, Julia— He is a bloody monster and this is the fucking truth and I need none to tell me what Sebastian Valdez is, and what he is not. I have witnessed it by myself. Sebastian is a selfish sadist monster who knows nothing other than satisfying his sadistic desires!"

"Athena, please try to listen to me. I know why you are thinking of him like this, but everything he has done in the past and the present has a reason. He's not the one at fault for everything he does because he does not even have control over anything he does. It's the circumstances that should be blamed, not him."

"Oh please cut the crap! I don't want to hear you since I can already see that in your eyes, he is one great specimen who has no fault at all despite every sin he has committed. You can leave now."

"Athena, please listen to me once."

"The door is there, goodbye." I turned to head back to the balcony having no intention to hear another word from her mouth, once again but then what she said caused my feet to halt.

"His childhood was not normal like other kids, he was not allowed to play with others, leave the house, or even have toys. There were times when he used to ask her mother for toys, the times when he used to see the boys of his age play with colorful cars, teddies, and all the stuff that attracted the heart of a child. But then when he saw the demon beating his mother till she fainted just because she tried to convey his innocent demand to him, he never ever asked for anything. He learned to stay silent when it was his age to be free." A few tears slid down her cheeks as she spoke, her gaze was stilled as if she was looking through all the recollections and speaking them out for me.

"He used to stay scared, very scared of when the demon might awaken and hit him and his mother. He often saw the demon bringing new women to the house, and tried to discover the mystery behind why his mother's eyes would fill with tears every time it happened. But it was too complex for him to understand so all he could do was to hug her with try to wipe her tears with his little hands."

I started falling speechless. My eyes began widening and breathing caught a pace; A strong knot formed in the middle of my chest.

I was afraid. Afraid to hear the truth because I could already see whose story was behind that little boy.

"It was true, from that the day he started to develop memory, all he could see was....pain but still he'd smile, for his mother. She was the only reason he wanted to wake up every morning but one day, the demon snatched that reason from him too. That demon killed his mother in front of his own eyes."

A gasp slipped past my lips and my hand flew to cover my mouth, in shock.

No...this couldn't be....

This couldn't happen, this.....

My soul was left shaken, I felt chills all over my body, and there was a strange sort of pain that attacked me.

"And you know whose story is this?" Julia took a few steps towards me.

And then she said what I feared the most to hear.

"This is the story of Sebastian Valdez who is now known as the Cursed Sadistic Alpha to the whole world. And the demon is....his father."
