Faith's heartbeat rocketed in her chest, something that William must have noticed as his eyes sharpened.

"There is no reason for you to be scared Faith. I would never hurt you." William stressed.

Did she believe him? He hadn't given her a reason not to. Well, not yet anyway. Since the beginning, he had insisted he was protecting her, and would always do so. Faith was coming to learn that William was treating her more then as his captive. Like his friend or familial member maybe. She wasn't sure how she would cope if it were anything more then that.

Her secret wishes were forbidden to the very back of her mind.

"Ok William." She murmured with a blush gracing her cheeks, a blush William had come to love.

"You know Faith, every Monday – which is tomorrow by the way, there is a market on the top level. Would you like to come with me? For educational purposes obviously."

"A vampire market?" She asked incredulously.

"Yes, it may help you with your studies of us." William shrugged with a gri

    Sighing, Faith wondered what would happen when her memory was wiped. She couldn't imagine her thoughts not ever straying to William or his twisted world for a day, let alone not remembering it forever more! In five short, short days, she would be back to boring old Faith, working too hard and stressing over a boy who wasn't worth it, and a degree that would take her in the direction of a life she did not want. The whole thing was rather morbid. She wondered if she would dream about William sometimes, or remember snippets of their time together, but she had a feeling that the slate would be wiped clean and she truly would not remember a thing.Although Faith missed dancing under the twinkle of a thousand fairy lights, the feel of wet grass beneath her feet, and the crisp salty air swirling through her hair, she had grown to feel comfortable with a simple life hidden from humanity. She never liked people that much anyway. Also, vampires weren't all that bad. Of course, it was always dau

    Faith felt naked under the scrutinising eye of the thirty odd people stuffed into the room. Most of the men looked like they had escaped from prison, with large tattered beards and muscles to rival a boxer. Tattoos decorated their skin and they donned leather jackets, giving them the look of a biker gang. Some of the women actually looked more intimidating then the men, glaring at Faith as if she was the mistress of death, deserving to be buried under ground. However, others looked like your average businessman with a thirst for violence.In the centre of the room was a handsome man with a devils smile, casually eating an apple whilst lazily observing them. He was relaxed into a chair, yet he wasn't slumped, his body too muscular for that to happen. Wearing what looked like an a thousand pound suit he looked out of place among the rabble flanking him, yet there was a murderous glint in his eyes that told Faith he was the worst of the lot, he was just wearing expensive cologne to disgu

    "Tell me everything you know about the Vampire's plan of attack." The man snarled, slamming his veiny hand down onto the metal table."I-I don't k-know anything..." Faith stuttered, feeling small in her hard plastic chair.She had been interrogated for answers she simply did not know for nearly an hour. She was worried sick about William and all of the vampires, who were vulnerable and exposed, beaten and oppressed. She had begged the Hunters to turn the alarm off that was effectively frying their brains, but they simply chuckled cruelly at her and ignored her frightened pleads. Thinking of William lying dead in that room... it was all too much for her to think about and a few tears slipped from the tight mask she strained to achieve."You're useless!" Her second interrogator growled, kicking his chair over as he abruptly stood and stomped out of the room.She was alone again. Faith wondered who the next person tasked to get her to crack would be. They were getting more intimidating b

    Faith had never been so at war with herself. She was in a quandary so confusing she couldn't possibly see the light at the end of the tunnel. Wondering what she should do was whirling round and round her head, leaving her in a constant state of distress. It had been hours since she first spoke with Nancy, who had untied her hands but left her locked up in the bleak interrogation room. She had been pondering on what the right course of action should be, and where her allegiance should lie. She hadn't been able to stop playing with her ring from William, torn between chucking it at the wall and hiding it so they wouldn't be able to take it away.Betraying William and working with the hunters made her feel disgusted and sick, but she was incredibly hurt thinking that William had lied to her. Nancy had left her with a folder of correspondence from King Benedetto to the Government and other people she hadn't heard of, talking about legalising the drinking of human blood, and they didn't lo

    "Oi! Vampire Pet!" Scar growled as she ripped the covers off Faith."What?" Faith gasped as she bolted upright in bed."It's time for breakfast." She sneered.Faith realised she must have drifted off some when during the early hours of the morning, and now she felt super dead and tired."C-can I use the bathroom quickly?" Faith questioned as she slipped out of the top bunk."Hurry up!" Scar growled, piercing Faith with her one muddy brown eye.Faith hurried into the bathroom, just next to the desk in the stormy grey room, finding an adequate silver toilet and basin with cracked mirror. Her appearance made her gasp in shock, as she looked very dishevelled with clearly noticeable panda eyes and wild bird nest hair. Splashing cold water on her face to awaken her, then using some to pat her hair down, she finished her business then hurried outside to the impatient Scar who simply glared moodily at her, then literally pushed her out of the room. With a firm hand holding her shoulder in an

    It had been a few hours since Faith had agreed to betray William. She felt like a terrible person. She had to do everything the Hunters told her too, or they would kill her, and Faith had promised Hope that she would never leave her alone. Nancy had given her the choice of when she wanted to go back to William, and Faith had responded as soon as possible. She wanted to see Hope... and make sure everyone was all right. Of course, it meant she would also have to lie for longer, but she had been practicing her poker face and hardening her rebelling heart. She only had to hold out for three days, which she thought was manageable.Nancy gave her a special herb to drink, which was developed by witches, and placed a shield around her mind, not allowing it to be read by anyone. Obviously this was essential as William's brother John could easily realise she wasn't faithful to William and would know the whole plan. Nancy assured her that if she told anyone about the plan they would know and it

    Faith loved being in William's arms more then she cared to admit. The car pulled into a warehouse in the busy harbour, the heady scent of fish assaulting her senses as they stepped out, the fishermen taking no notice of the seemingly suspicious vehicles coming in through the back entrance and skidding to a halt. Faith flinched as she watched one man lopping the fish's heads off systematically with no remorse, but she didn't have much time to feel uneased about the amount of thick red blood as William swooped his arm around her shoulders and pulled her along. They escaped down through the basement, William stopping every few minutes for yet another retina, finger scan or password to be put in to release the door or wall from its clever locks. She had no idea how he could remember it all! Eventually they passed into a dark room with a winding metal staircase leaning against the far corner, with two guards following behind them.They started up the staircase, Faith realising how unfit sh

    William went and visited Faith later on that evening as promised, confirming what Hope had told her about the injuries. The troublesome human's device was disarmed swiftly, meaning there were no casualties. There was the capability of fatalities though. Florence also visited, jumping on Faith and knocking her to the floor with an excited squeal. Faith nearly had a heart attack, and had bruises to confirm Florence's concern for her.The next morning William found her in the kitchen eating breakfast with Hope. Ever since they had arrived, there was an abundance of food enough to keep six families going for weeks, much to their delight. It was a bit like a vacation for them – apart from the kidnapping part. There was an excited buzz in the palace with a flurry of maids and staff bouncing through the halls preparing for their King and Queen's annual ball in only two days. It was certainly very busy, and gave birth to a fresher, more alive atmosphere. Of course, the ball would not work out

    Well it is Thursday again which means I've got a date with the devil, and no I don't mean Ajax, I mean his sisters, both of them. They love me as much as I love them, making Thursday night my favourite of the week.Apparently Giri's brother requires their garage tonight meaning the boys are practicing in Ajax's room. This has created a new problem as Nessie and Miya want to watch their brother, giggling at his very explicit instructions to keep out. I have to keep catching them and taking them back downstairs, which means the girls now view it as a game to try and breach Ajax's room, which is leading to a very tiring night for me. I can't be too firm with them as they aren't my kids, yet they are taking my calm instructions to stay downstairs as a joke. Can you tell I'm stressed? Up and down and up and down and up and down the stairs we have been, chasing the little rascals around and throwing them over my shoulder as they try to make a run for it.I didn't know having kids could be s

    I am riding to school with Ajax this morning. Tiger sent me a gloomy message after I got home from Maisie's last night saying she has to go in early, and I didn't want to get up any earlier then I have to. I told Ajax about my little problem and he insisted I ride with him. He finally has a new phone and keeps bugging me with messages. Well, it's not really an annoyance when I'm literally counting the seconds until he messages again. My stomach twists up in knots and a nervous blush coats my cheeks whenever I'm around him. It's like my body just cannot handle his hotness. I've always been quiet, but never shy, especially not around my friends, and I guess Ajax is my friend. Although some part of me doesn't like the idea of that.I hurry out of my house right on time to find him leaning against his insanely cool car, waiting for me with a teasing smirk. His 1970s Chevy Camaro is a smooth inky black in colour with a thick white stripe reaching towards the windscreen on the bonnet. A pic

    SEVEN AND A BIT YEARS LATER..."Ah fvck!" I curse, tears beading in my eyes as another wave of pain washes through my stomach.Dammit, that's another pound in the swear jar. Yes, that's right, we officially have a swear jar that travels everywhere with us, trying to curve our bad language habits. It's been going ok, well, ok for me, but Vincent swears like a sailor so I've been making millions off him. Since he met his mate Clarity, he's been much happier and turned into a better man, which is lovely to witness. She is a tiny thing, actually smaller then me so she is the butt of many jokes, but she has an amazing sense of humour, and finds the good in everything, so she doesn't take offence."Ow, ow, ow, ow! When will this be over?" I moan, squeezing Alex's hand so tightly I swear I can feel the bones shift."Its ok baby, just breathe, just breathe." Alex murmurs supportively."Don't tell me what to do! This is all your fault!" I yell, the pain unexplainable."Ok I'm sorry, its fine,

    I have never been a fan of air travel, but Alex's private plane does help. I am pretty freaking scared about meeting my Alex's parents, but it is an inevitable event; I am the heir to the throne as I'm mated to their son. According to Alex there is a ball being held in my honour tomorrow night, with some of the most influential and powerful were's and lycans in the world in attendance. I am quite nervous about my debut into society, but Ana who returned to Russia last week has promised me that there is nothing to worry about, and has helped plan the event. I guess if anything, it is pretty flattering having a whole ball dedicated to me. I'm sure I'll be bombarded with introductions and will have to follow royal protocol tomorrow night, but having Alex by my side will give me the strength to persevere through it.As we got off the plane, (Vincent, Lucian and Sapphire travelled with us) a fleet of royal cars and bodyguards were waiting for us, reminding me once again that I'm no longer

    *Smut warning - very mature!!*"Woohoo! This party is great!" I yell over the thundering beat to Alex, whom I am currently dancing with, lost in the sea of bodies.It is finally Halloween, and I managed to persuade Alex to come out to Celestrina's party with me. It has been four months since we mated, and everything has been just wonderful. Next week we are leaving to Russia with our pack to meet Alex's parents – aka the freaking King and Queen of all Lycanthropes. I am quite nervous, but I'm sure they'll love me. I will be the sunniest ball of sunshine they have ever met! Celestrina is doing great as a werewolf. It took her a while to adjust, but now she's loving being a part of the superior race. I told her about me being a Lycan, and she was amazed, but really happy when I told her the whole story of my life. She has decided to take a gap year before she heads off to college, to make sure that she has her wolf under control, and has learnt the ways of a were.Her Halloween party is

    Seven Years later...Sometimes I wonder how my life would've turned out if I had dug my heels in and never went to Lupine Peak. I don't doubt that I eventually could have changed my dads mind; I can be pretty stubborn at times. It's scary to think about how different my life would be – I wouldn't have met my soulmate, Alex, found loyal friends ready to sacrifice their lives for me, and definitely wouldn't be preparing to be crowned Queen, alongside my Alex, who is also now my husband. We decided on a small ceremony a year after we mated, (mostly just for show for my dad and other human family) at one of Alex's private Islands, this one located in the Maldives. It was absolutely beautiful, and a memory I will never forget. After a few days there, we went to Bora Bora for an Instagram worthy honeymoon, where our backyard was waves of royal blue, soft and gentle, just begging to be swam in. After our few weeks in paradise, we returned to Russia as a united force, ready to begin my Queenl

    My eyes are suddenly open though I can't think of why; my heart is pounding, mind empty. It's as if a hypodermic of adrenaline has been emptied into my carotid. I strain into the utter darkness; my breathing rate increased ten fold. There is something inside of me, straining to burst out. Ghostly whispers in my ear urge me to get outside, to be in sight of the moon. At this point, I am panting, and drizzled in sweat. I vaguely hear Alex awake from beside me as I stumble out of the bed and tumble to the floor, my sight blurry. Alex murmurs from behind me as I rush unsteadily to the window, something pulsing, trying to rip out of my chest.Feeling like I can't breathe, I use my remaining strength to smash out of the window, and tumble into the garden below. I feel something snap as I land with a thud on the floor, momentarily stunning me, but I don't register the pain, too preoccupied with whatever is clawing around inside of me. There is a roar before a thud reverberates through the gr

    "Oh Phoebe... I'm so happy you guys are together now! So this means you're staying, right?" Tammy asks anxiously as Alex and I part for breath, the group still stood by the door."Hmm... I'll think about it." I wink playfully.In response, Alex's arms tighten possessively around me, and he growls in my ear: "You're mine now kitten. I'm not letting you go."The vibrations from his deep, husky voice throb straight to my core, causing my legs to clench around Alex, and me to bite my bottom lip hard to stop a wanton moan from flying out. Taking a deep breath to control my raging emotions, I turn back to Tammy."I'm joking... of course I'll stay here, where ever Alex goes, I go." I explain whilst sinking my head into Alex's hard chest, comforted by his roaring heartbeat."You've made me the happiest man in the world Phoebe." I hear Alex murmur above me, and then plant a tender kiss on my head."Aww, you two are the cutest! You've made my brother soft." Ana chuckles, interrupting the tender

    As we pull up at the mansion, I feel like I'm housing a whole damn zoo in my stomach. I find some relief in the fact that I can't sense Alex here, meaning I have some more time to relax and think about what I'm going to say. A wave of nostalgia washes over me as I take in the beautiful mansion, walking up the white marble steps to the ornate front door. I have lived here, cried here, loved here and almost died here. It most certainly will always be scrapbooked into my memory. As I enter into the grand palace, my dad with his arm wrapped around me, we encounter a shocked Vincent."Phoebe! I thought I could sme... hear you!" He gasps, an easy smile gliding onto his face smooth as butter."Hi Vincent. I've come to see Alex... oh and this is my dad, Ricky." I explain hastily."Oh that's real great Phoebe. He should be back soon. Hi Ricky, would you like me to show you around?" Vincent easily charms my dad."Yea sure, nice to meet you.
