SCARLETT POVI don’t get to say anything as he cuts me off with a dominance-filled kiss. His hand runs down my body and when he gets to my thigh, he pulls on it to lift it up and around his waist. He stops with his hand resting on my thigh and does nothing more except kissing me until I relax and start to kiss him back, he then slowly slides himself inside me but this time he continues with slow gentle thrusts and I can’t stop the pleasure that builds and flows through me. As I respond to the pleasure he is causing, he starts to increase his thrusts, making them faster and faster, but still gentle. I can feel his pleasure building just as high as he was building mine. He takes me over the edge first, making my body tighten and then shatter around him. He keeps going, keeping himself on the edge as he builds up my pleasure again. The next time he takes me over the edge, he releases with me.“I am sorry, Butterfly, but I wanted to make up fo
PHOENIX/SORENPOVI know it is Scarlett’s place to tell Dominic about her gift but if there is still a spy in the kingdom we need to get on top of it, and Soren wanted to find out from Caleb how he got Seraphina to forgive him completely for what he did.I head to Dominic’s office and knock on the door once I get there, I open the door slightly “Excuse me your highness but if you are not busy may I have a word with you?”“Of course Phoenix. Gentlemen if you would excuse me, how about you all go and have some lunch in the dining hall and we will resume this meeting once everyone has eaten.”“Yes your highness!” comes the reply from all the clan leaders sitting in his office, they stand, bow and leave the room.“So my friend is this business or pleasure?”“Maybe a little of both,” I loosen my shirt a little not knowing what to
SCARLETT POVIn the car on the way back to the castle, my mind was just overflowing with everything. All the paperwork and stuff to do with the clans and the Blood Moon has all been taken care of, but the encounter I had with Sharon has me a little on edge. Even after everything would Phoenix still choose me or would Soren prefer and make him choose her, Soren has always been that bit rougher and I am not sure if I can be what he needs… I guess she is the one from my vision, wanting someone that is not hers….I look up as I hear the screech of tires to come face to face with the front of another car; I hear the bang as it hits and then I feel light as the SUV starts to roll; I hit my head on the window. I must have blacked out for just a second because when I look around we have stopped moving and there is broken glass and mangled metal everywhere around me. My whole body hurts. I try moving and scream out as pain radiates out from
SHARON POVWell, that didn’t go exactly as I thought, but I still got what I wanted and I haven’t had pleasure like that since Soren. I go and meet up with the other male and let him know what junction to be sitting near and that I will let him know once she leaves. I then make my way back towards the building with the office she is working in. It doesn’t take long before she comes out and gets into the SUV.I follow at a distance, place a call and watch as the other car crashes into the princess’s SUV, making it flip over two, three, four times before it comes to a rest in the paddock down and just off the road. I approach the accident scene carefully, wouldn’t want anyone to know I was here. The two guards traveling with the princess are dead, killed in the accident itself. The other car with four more guards in has stopped up the road and is making their way back to the princess. I look over
PHOENIX POVPatrick and Ethan run around the area in an ever-expanding cycle. They stop a couple of times but always go back to where I worked out the extra car was. They moved out in a semicircle from where the extra car was but only get so far before they were sneezing and shaking their heads...“My Queen?” I look over at her with worry.“They keep losing the scent after a few feet.”“The unknown female must be a very high-ranked vampire within her clan. It's the only way she would be able to disguise her scent and cover Scarlett’s as well.”“Dom! I don’t want to leave Scarlett out here or in anyone’s hands, but it's getting late. The rogues will be out in force soon. We must either return to the castle or go to the closest clan. Which way are we going?”“My Lady? Your choice. It is safer at the castle. Theodore is at the nearest clan looking to see
SHARON /VERA POVHe nods slightly at me and continues down the street. He just dismissed me like I was no one, that I haven’t been giving him all of me for the last hundred years or so. I can’t stop myself as my vampire Vera takes over, wanting some skin contact with Phoenix. She doesn’t block me out though, so we can enjoy this together; we move quickly up to the next alley and as he walks past; we pull him in and push him up against the wall, kissing him like it is our last day on this earth. I smirk as his arms wrap around me and he tightens them, pulling me closer as he deepens the kiss. I keep the kiss hard and dominant, like I know he likes, as I move one of my hands down his chest to his pants. The less he thinks, the better for me. I wasn’t planning this but I need it and by the feels of it so does he, as I grew up I learned never to worry about wearing any underwear as they would just end
SCARLETT POVI am pulled out of the darkness into a sea of pain; I move, trying to make it less, but that just makes more pain flow up from my leg. I stop moving, but then I scream as another extremely sharp pain shoots through me, but this one comes from my mate mark. No... no... no... he couldn’t have… he wouldn’t have…“Nix?? Nix?? Please, No... no... Nix? Please, I can be better… I can be what you want…. Please!!! Nix!! Nix!!”I lose the connection with Phoenix as I scream again as the pain from my mark increases and is then joined by a sharp stabbing pain through my stomach… “Ruth?? Cara?? What’s going on?”I hear them scream in my head too, “We are not sure… but it seems Nix or Soren has allowed another female to put her mark over ours..”“Is the mate bond broken? Is that why it
THEODORE POV"I think I am in real trouble here, my friend!" Phoenix whispers as he passes out. I catch him so he didn't fall onto the ground. I sling him over my shoulder and head back to the leader's house, where he was nice enough to put me up for the time I am here.Once I was in the room, the leader allocated for me; I lay Phoenix on the bed and go over everything I have been told and the way everyone acted with the mention of Scarlett. Everyone here really liked Scarlett and can't wait for her next visit. The only trouble she seemed to have was a confrontation with Sharon and that was more personal as it was to do with Phoenix.Out of all the females he could have gotten mixed up with, why did it have to be Sharon. I have had my own adventure with her but never took it past talking to her. She wants closer to the higher power and has it in her mind that being the lover of a high-ranking vampire will give her that. Unfortunately, it doesn't work
SCARLETT POVIt took me a long time to come to terms with Phoenix’s death, but if it wasn’t for H and Phoenix’s twins, I would have followed him. As I stand watching my three-year-old daughters Opal and River sleep H comes up behind me and wraps his arms around my waist and my big stomach, placing soft butterfly kisses along the back of my shoulder and up my neck until he gets to my ear and whispers “My princess, what are you thinking about? You are sending waves of sadness along the mate bond” I sigh and lean back into him as I answer, “I was just thinking about when I gave birth to these two and that I wouldn’t have continued on if you weren’t there. You never let me give up and you continued to love me even after we found out that Ruth didn’t survive the severing of the mate bond and that Cara had gone into permanent hibernation, making me a human.” “Scarlett, you were and are more to
H POVI have been watching over Scarlett for the last three weeks since I brought her here from the training field after the fight like I did when she was attacked in King Noah's territory. Everyone has come in at some stage. The King and Queen both come in at random times, both together and on their own, to check and sit with her.Doc Teresa comes in to make sure she is fine medically, giving her fluids and blood so we don't lose her that way, but she is not sure when she will or if she will ever wake up. Doc also confirmed to the King and Queen that Scarlett was indeed pregnant and carrying Phoenix's twins, my vampire didn't like that she was but we agreed that until we could get her to love us more, they would probably be the only thing that will keep her from following him.Tina comes in and sits with her the most. I think she has something she wants to share with her. Tina and Theodore had just left after spending an hour sitting next to her bed. I had just
( This is the start of the Alternative ending, and I will warn you that this chapter starts just over halfway through chapter 140, so yes there is some repeat but what is to follow is what would have happened if H and Wrath had decided not to accept Scarletts offer and had in fact carried out exactly what Scarlett was seeing in her vision. You do not need to read the next 3 chapters, including this one, as the series continues on from chapter 141.)H POVAs soon as Scarlett gets to the edge of the ring of people that are now watching us, I see the moment Phoenix's attention shifts off of me and he looks at her. I take advantage and punch him hard in the ribs, using my vampire for the first time in this fight.I break about four and fracture another two. I also make two cuts on his neck with my second hit, only just nicking his main artery. I could have killed him then, but he still has a little fight in him and I want to see what Scarlett will do now she i
SCARLETT POV I have been with H for seven months and while he had us travelling, he finally introduced me to his vampire Wrath, I managed to convince them to allow me to keep my babies, well at least have him not kill them before they are born. H even allowed me to go with him to one of the towns where I found two beautiful butterfly bracelets. They will expand as they get older so they can always wear them, I had an O engraved on one and an R engraved on the other I found out the day of the fight, the day I gave everything up to save Phoenix’s life, that I was pregnant again. I had just come from seeing Teresa. I was having twin daughters, and I was on my way to tell Phoenix the good news when I heard the commotion of the fight. My labour started not that long ago and H has gone to get the Doctor. No one in this clan knows who I am. They only know what H or Wrath has told them. As far as they know, we are mated lovers, but the babies aren’t his, as I was attacked just before our ma
H POVJust after I move my hand to her throat, I see a couple of the guards take a few steps closer to us, so I pull her tighter to me so I can whisper into her ear"Tell them all to back off and allow us to pass or I will not honour our deal and I will throw you and kill him.""Stand down and allow us to leave!" she says quietlyI knew Mike had to be here somewhere; he like me, had become Phoenix and Scarlett's personal guards, so where ever they went we went too. He takes a couple more steps forward as he says,"But your highness we can't allow him to leave with you...""You can and you must... Now please stand down!"Scarlett surprises me that she answered him without me telling her to. I watch as Mike nods to Scarlett and then to the other guards standing near us. They all step back. I lean my lips onto her shoulder and smile as I whisper,"Good girl, time to go!"I then move us slowly over to the edge of the woods, stop and move the arm I have around her waist, reach around to my
H POV It takes the sedative maker a week to get back to me saying my order will be arriving any day, that he had managed to make a serum that contained silver and wouldn't kill or knock out either a vampire or werewolf, it would just separate the vampire or werewolf from the human. The other good part about it is that it doesn't need to be injected. I can mix it with either his food, drink or even his blood and he wouldn't know the difference. The only problem I have at the moment is how to get just Phoenix to have it and not include Scarlett. A couple of days after I received the silver serum, an opportunity opened up for me to use it. I put half of the silver serum into a water bottle that was exactly the same as Phoenix's. I met up with Phoenix in the training field. I discreetly swap out his bottle and then enjoy a good sparring match with him. By the time we have finished, we are both breathing heavily and exhausted. I scull my water and I watch with a small smile as Phoenix
SCARLETT POVAfter my conversation with my father, I realize he is right. Phoenix would rather fight than let me go willingly. I decide to tell him everything and hopefully, it will give him some time to prepare himself for it. I go to our room, but it is empty. I smile and tap into Ruth's sense of smell and take a deep breath.I follow his scent back to Father's office and then over to Theodore's; I knock lightly on the door and smile as Tina looks up from some of Theodore's paperwork."So he has you doing the things he doesn't like doing, does he?""How do you know he doesn't like doing paperwork?""Because he used to get me to do it when I was old enough to read, write and understand what he needed done. Father was the same." I laugh and she joins me."So, what can I do for you?""Have you seen Nix?""Yeah, he came past a while ago, took something out of a drawer and then left...""Oh, okay, do you know where he was g
PHOENIX POVI felt the moment Scarlett carefully moved out of our bed, Soren was asleep, but I was not. I don't know what got into him. He has never been like that with our butterfly. He didn't even notice the change in her towards the end before he fell asleep, but I did. There is something very important and very serious that she is not telling us.Once she leaves the room, I get up, get dressed, and follow her. It doesn't surprise me when we end up at Dominic's office, as it was where she said she was going before Soren wanted her. I must remember to ask him what that was about once he wakes up again. I watch as Scarlett enters Dominic's office and wait for her to close the door. I move slowly and quietly to the door and just listen.I would give my life if I had to... Scarlett, what's this about?""I.. I.. I've been having a nightmare for about the last week and a half..""And what is this nightmare?""Phoenix is fighting the mystery male that attacked me...""Why would that be a
SCARLETT POVHe goes to answer, but I have had enough. I step back, straighten and hold up my hand as both Ruth and Cara take part control."Phoenix I may be your mate but I am also the Daughter of the Vampire King, so unless you want to have a word with my father about stopping my Royal duties just so that I am not in the company of other males then you take that up with him but know I will not forgive you for that if you do. As for now, Phoenix, you are dismissed! I will complete my Royal duties and meet you back at the castle!!!"I take a couple more steps back from him and yell,"MIKE!"It doesn't take long for Mike to enter the leader's office and bow"Yes, Your Highness?""Please escort Phoenix back to the castle...""What about you, Your Highness?""I still have business to finish here. Dismissed!" I then turn away from both Mike and Phoen
