[Vance’s POV]

“Allister!” I call the minute I arrive home. “Where the hell are you?”

For a moment, I’m met with silence, and I find myself wondering if he’s not home, but when I hear the sound of movement from above, I know that he is.

Deciding to meet him halfway, I begin to move, making my way through the quiet mansion until I spot him coming down the stairs.

His face is haggard, and he looks ready to kill someone, but aside from that, he seems okay, and my worry over whether or not he had a run-in with that damned lizard fades.

Since my encounter with that creature, I have been on edge, but I couldn’t exactly explain why. Was it because I worried it would come for me now that it had a look at my face? Or was there something more sinister about it? I didn’t know, but I wasn’t just going to wait around and find out.

“Why are you making so much noise?” Allister asks as he lazily makes his way down the stairs. “I was trying to sleep.”

“Sleep,” I repeat, raising a brow. “It looks more l

    [Allister’s POV]“Then we simply have to kill her before she kills us, correct?” I ask, growing annoyed with this conversation. “Are you suggesting that we are too weak to take on a single woman?”“Not a single woman,” Damien counters. “This is Evangeline, the mother of vampires. She is much stronger than all of us.”“Not yet,” I counter. “If we get rid of that lizard, then it can’t complete its task, correct?”“He’s right,” Vance agrees. “This simply means that we have to kill the lizard to make sure that Evangeline doesn’t come back to power.”It really was a simple solution, so why was Damien talking like the end of the world was coming?“Vance, you encountered that creature, correct?" He begins, narrowing his gaze. “Why didn’t you kill it?”For a moment, Vance doesn’t speak as he considers Damien’s question, and when his face falls, I know that I’m not going to like what comes next.“His body was impenetrable.”There it was, but that didn’t mean that I would accept defeat so easil

    [Tabitha’s POV]A shiver rushes through me, causing my body to twitch and goosebumps to spring up on my arms.“What’s wrong?” Atticus asks, eyeing me curiously.“Just got a chill,” I admit. “Maybe someone was talking about me.”Maybe it was that, or maybe it was my body saying to take a break; either way, I gladly welcomed the sudden distraction.Since finding the latest body and getting a full description of the creature that was going around doing the killings and leaving those threatening notes, we have been staring at files. However, no amount of looking seemed to bring results.“Are you sure about this lizard thing?” I ask Atticus, closing the computer in front of me. "Because, as far as Boston’s supernatural registry is concerned, it doesn’t exist.”“I’m sure,” he responds, furrowing his brows. “Just because it doesn’t exist in the registry for Boston doesn’t mean that it doesn't exist for the rest of the world.”Frowning, I eye him in annoyance. Was he really suggesting that we

    [Tabitha’s POV]I wait until Atticus is on the road before undoing my seatbelt and then leaning over. I couldn’t explain why, but I suddenly really wanted him, and I didn’t want to wait until we got back to his place. Maybe it was due to the craziness of the day or the need to feel wanted by someone, but before I could stop myself, I was undoing his pants and pulling out his dick.“Careful,” he warns, when I bump the steering wheel. "Otherwise, you’re going to cause us to wreck.”“Lean back more,” I order, running my hand up and down his shaft.Nodding, he does as I command before getting comfortable. Licking my lips, I lean over more until I can run my tongue along his tip, cleaning off the salty, sweet precum that has begun to form there. Lifting my gaze, I take in his dark eyes, which have come to rest on me.“Eyes on the road,” I warn. “Otherwise, I’ll stop.”Letting out a growl of annoyance, Atticus does as he is told while I take him into my mouth and begin to bob my head.“Fuck

    [Vance’s POV]“Are you sure this is the place?”I stare straight ahead at the empty lot in front of me, trying to determine how Allister could possibly say this was where Tabitha was. Of course, it was ridiculous that we were even looking for her like this, but it seemed that desperate times called for desperate measures.Who knew that the day we decided to pick her as our new toy and target, things would spiral out of control like this? I most certainly didn't, and I was sure Allister didn’t either.“I tried to tell you,” he sighs, brushing his hair out of his face. “That bastard fae has it glamored.”"Then, how do you suggest we get in?”As different species, there was no way that we could undo the glamor set; only another member of the fae could do it.“We will have to find a fairy to help us,” Allister smirks.Grimacing, I try to ignore the term he used since it was considered inappropriate. Even if I wasn’t a fan of the fae, I still had enough respect for them not to try to push

    [Tabitha’s POV]“Fuck!” I hiss as Atticus continues to fuck me from behind. “That’s enough!”This was the fourth or fifth time that he had attacked me, and no matter the number of times he came, it seemed to not be enough.“I have…FUCK!” I moan as a strong orgasm hits me. “I have to go meet Bonnie!”“Is that what she wanted?” He husks, close to my ear.“Yeah.”Taking advantage of his distraction, I scurry from beneath him and then flop onto the floor. As I hit, Atticus pops his head over the side of the bed and gives me a look of frustration.“Where are you going?” He snaps, beginning to move. “We aren’t…”“We are,” I counter, jumping up and immediately regretting it as pain shoots through me. “I’m worried about Bonnie.”She usually didn’t call me out of the blue, and something about the way her voice sounded didn’t seem right. I couldn’t quite explain it, but I had a gut feeling that there was more to our meeting than she said.“More worried about her than me?” Atticus pouts, causing

    [Allister’s POV]I keep my gaze fixed on Tabitha’s as both fear and longing flash in her eyes. I had to admit, she was being surprisingly difficult compared to the other toys we chased, but I could only assume it was because she had that bastard ice fae at her side. As long as she was getting relief from a supernatural being, she would be fine, but from this point on, she wouldn’t get away.“Let go,” she growls, attempting to break free. “I don’t…”“You do,” Vance counters, kneeling beside her and touching her cheek. “You want us just as badly as we want you.”"I..." she begins, her eyes starting to glaze. “I…”“Do,” Vance pushes for her.“Maybe I can help.”Startled, I turn and watch her friend as she makes her way towards us with a mischevious smile. Shit, when did the venom wear off?“Stop her!” I hiss at Vance. “Before she…”“I’m not going to ruin your fun,” she counters, coming to join us. “As long as you allow me to join.”“B-bonnie?” Tabitha gasps, her eyes growing wide with sh

    [Tabitha’s POV]My body moves on its own, and despite knowing that all this was wrong, I can’t seem to stop the anticipation I feel over being fucked again by the vampire twins. Not only them, but even Bonnie, who is currently getting railed from behind by Vance.Currently, there is a free for all going on, and it's making me so fucking horny that I can’t stand it.Obeying Allister’s command, I stick out my tongue and begin to lick up my juice before it can dry up into the linoleum. As I do, Allister watches me with eyes so dark they’re like infinite voids.“Fuck, little mouse,” he growls, beginning to pump his dick. “Do you know how fucking sexy you look?”I had an idea, but the thought that I was making such an arrogant and domineering man come undone pushes me to be even more seductive in my movements, and when I finally finish, I crawl forward. Though he told me to lay down so he could take me, there is one thing I want to do first.Stopping in front of Allister, I lift my gaze to

    [Vance’s POV]“Fuck,” I growl as Tabitha works my dick with her skilled lips and tongue. “You’re a fucking pro at that. Does my dick taste that good?"Since leaving Bonnie's, this is how she has been. No matter the amount of time Allister and I came in her mouth, she just continued to alternate between sucking us off. Maybe it was from all the back-up need that she had been suffering while we were being kept away, or maybe she was just this fucking kinky.Whatever it was, I didn’t mind. Just like she couldn’t get enough of us, I was finding that I couldn’t get enough of her. It was both unnerving and satisfying that we managed to find someone who left me feeling so alive after so many years of feeling nothing. But was it a good thing?Don't think about it. I hiss silently before deciding I wanted to fuck the woman who was acting like she was in heat.“Come here,” I snarl, wrapping a hand in her hair and pulling her up so that she releases my dick with a pop. “I’m hungry.”“Then please

    [Tabitha’s POV]“Then we have tonight.”If you asked me if this was the outcome I was expecting after taking down Titus and ending one threat, I would say no. I wasn’t an overflowing fucking optimist, but to know that in the end, the ones who stood beside me through this time would disappear one by one was a punch to the gut.Atticus would be leaving to go to the unseelie court, Vance would need time to calm his clan and gain control, and Anthony was gone and would never be back.“I think the lady wants you,” JD chuckles, breaking the silence that had fallen around us. “Why are you just standing there?”“Shut up,” Atticus growls, reaching out and grabbing me.It doesn’t take long for us to arrive back at Atticus’ home, and the minute we step in the door, my clothes are being ripped off along with his. Once they’re out of the way, Atticus is dropping to his knees and burying his face in my folds.“Atticus,” I gasp, spreading my legs wider. “The door.”“Fuck the door,” he growls, contin

    [Atticus’ POV]“His help doesn’t come easy.”The words leave my lips as I take Tabitha in, waiting to see if her resolve will quake. Maybe this was the reason that I fell for her, or maybe it was the undeniable draw that I felt. Whatever it was I knew, with or without my memories, I would choose her again and again because of the strength she radiated.“I don’t care,” she says, beginning to move. “And if you’re just going to stand here and argue, you can..."“No,” I sigh, hoisting Titus as he begins to slip. “Let’s go.”I begin to move, heading into JD’s domain, and then lead the way to his room, where he should be waiting. When we arrive, the door swings open, and a broad smile rests on his face.“Did you succeed?” He asks, eyeing the wrapped-up lump on my shoulder. “Or did you bring me another gift?"“No,” I chuckle, throwing Titus on the ground. “It’s what you want.”“But before that,” Tabitha adds, making her presence known. “There are some things that we would like to ask him.”“

    [Tabitha’s POV]I wait until Atticus disappears out of the room and the sound of his steps grows distant before turning my gaze to Vance, who is watching me curiously. I was sure that he was curious why I was still standing here. I wanted to speak with him alone. And probably, what the hell was I even doing?“Promise me,” I begin, deciding there was no point in beating around the bush. “That you won’t disappear.”I knew I was asking a lot, and I wouldn’t blame him for denying my request. Technically, it was because of my existence that his brother and father are now gone. And that his clan was undergoing something so serious. But I didn’t want to lose the one solid thing I had beside me.“I know I'm asking a lot and that you don’t owe me, but..."“Shut up.”Leaning forward, Vance grabs my chin and then presses his lips against mine. Immediately, the world and all the fucking problems we are facing disappear, and all I can feel is him. Is it because of his mark on me? Because of everyt

    [Tabitha’s POV]I stand up and take in the room in front of me. Atticus and Vance are both here, staring at me as if they’re looking at a ghost, and laying on the ground is Titus, and someone clearly beat the shit out of him.“Good job,” I say slowly, nodding toward the bastard on the ground. “I’m glad the two of you managed to take care of him.”It was probably ridiculous to say this after dying and then coming back, but the awkwardness was beginning to get to me.“How?” Vance rasps, moving forward.Reaching out, he attempts to touch me, but lets out a hiss when his fingers touch the sunlight and begin to burn.“Dammit,” he growls.“Here,” I say, climbing through the hole that was made in my cage while I was out of it. When I’m out of the sunlight and standing in front of Vance, I grab his wrist and bring his hand to my face so that he can feel it. “Better?”Growing quiet, I wait as he processes what is happening, and when understanding finally seems to dawn in him, he is reaching ou

    [Tabitha’s POV]I feel like I’m floating. In the blissful darkness that surrounds me, I’m weightless. My body drifts in and out of what I can only assume is oblivion. Did this mean that I died? If I did, I could only hope by this point that Vance and Atticus would be able to defeat Titus, and if not... Well, there was nothing I could do at this point.Letting out a sigh, I try to drift away again so that the worry I’m beginning to feel doesn’t continue to haunt me. However, with each passing minute, I can feel my consciousness becoming clearer and clearer until I can’t remain oblivious, and it’s frustrating.Slowly, I begin to open my eyes, but I have to close them again as dazzling light attacks them, and when I open them again, I have to squint.Frowning, I begin to take in the area around me, trying to determine exactly what was happening and where I was. Was this the afterlife? But how could it be? As a sinner and a member of the undead, wouldn’t hell be the place to which I belon

    [Vance’s POV]Shouts and snarls erupt around me as I burst into the mansion ahead and begin to look around. Why the fuck would Tabitha be stupid enough to go in alone when she knew that my father was most likely waiting for her?As this thought hits, two of my father’s men rush toward me. Growling, I lift my hands and connect with them. Once I’ve got control, I liff and throw them into the next line of men that are making their way toward me.Behind me, I can hear Atticus, and when icy bullets begin to erupt around me, I extend my senses until I feel Tabitha.“I’m heading up!” I announce, taking in the scene around me. “Can you handle it here?”“Yeah,” Atticus puffs, switching out the weaponry on his arms for something stronger. “Just don’t forget; I need that heart.”Nodding, I begin to move, only stopping long enough to dodge a sneak attack.“Nice try,” I grin, kicking out and sending the man crashing into the wall and then moving forward so that I can grab his head and twist until

    [Tabitha’s POV]I keep my gaze fixed on the hole where the slowly-lightening sky can be seen. I had maybe twenty minutes at most before the sun was high enough to shine down on me. Shit, what the hell was I going to do?“Don’t look so afraid, my pet,” Titus murmurs. “This was always your fate from the moment you came into existence.”“Wouldn’t that mean it was the same fate for you?” I ask."No, because I wasn’t born a monster, I was turned, and in finally getting rid of you, my true love will forgive me and bring me and my people out of the shadows.”“Your true love?” I repeat as I feel my consciousness being tugged on.Gasping, I feel my eyes roll into the back of my head as images of a beautiful field with white flowers swaying in the breeze appear. Standing in the field are Titus and a woman with flowing blonde hair and bright golden eyes. She wears a white gown that is almost transparent, allowing the perfect view of her body beneath.Instantly, I feel a sense of familiarity and

    [Tabitha’s POV]I can feel Vance’s hesitation as he tries to make sense of my plan. I knew that it was a suicide mission, but to see Allister suffering so fucking much because of his own father, I couldn’t stop the burning desire I felt to kill Titus.“You don’t have to join us,” Atticus offers, breaking the silence that was settling around us. “We don’t need you anyway.”“Do you really think you stand a chance against them?” Vance counters.“I wager I have a good chance at surviving,” Atticus chuckles. “I would just have to breakout the heavy ammo.”As he speaks, ice starts to wrap around his muscular arms and form into what looks like machine guns. Damn, he really was capable, wasn’t he? With his ice magic, Vance’s blood magic, and my combat skills, I was sure that we would be okay.“Fine,” Vance huffs. “But remember, my father is mine.”“I need his heart,” Atticus counters. "Therefore, I should be..."“He’s mine,” Vance repeats more firmly. “I’ll give you his fucking heart before i

As much as I tried to tell myself that I didn’t give two shits if they had something, seeing her so fucking hurt over his leaving left a bad taste in my mouth.“Are you just going to sit there?” I ask, unable to continue to watch her misery. “Don’t you think we should get out of here too before someone finds this?"As I speak, I motion to the pile of ice, flesh, and bone that covers the floor. It was only a matter of time before someone realized that August’s remains were up here, and I didn’t want to be present when that happened.The fae stuck together through most things, and to kill one of their own would make you all of their enemy. I couldn’t wait to see how things would work out for Atticus due to what he did, but for now, the repercussions would have to wait.“No,” Tabitha says softly, finally snapping out of her daze. “I’m not.”“Then let’s go.” I huff, pulling up
