Soma’s POVWatching the doors I was nervous about what was about to happen to Darcy, I didn’t want to see her die because she wanted to give me a chance to run away. When the doors opened, and a guard was speaking to someone I was getting nervous. I thought I knew the voice but I wasn't sure.When he walked into the room I knew it was the Vampire King. What was he doing here? Was he going to be the one that kills Darcy and me? I was afraid, but I knew I had to be strong otherwise these Lycans and vampires would hurt me, I didn’t want to show them I was just this human they thought they could bully.“Ah finally!” Roman said moving away from us, Darcy and Max. I didn’t want them getting hurt because they didn’t like King Gideon.“Sorry, but your King took his sweet time coming to us.” The Vampire King complained. “But at least we are here to finish our business deal.”“And where is the King?” Roman asked moving a little away from the Vampire King. It was almost funny because even though
Soma’s POVAfter Roman guards took away Max, Oliver finally was on his knees. I knew he wasn't going to let anything more happen to me. I wanted to get closer to him but they had him out of my reach.“Oliver,” I called, but he didn’t look at me. I felt a sadness building but I had to remember they drugged him with something otherwise he would have already gotten to me.“So Nathaniel since you don’t want to help me, I am going to start my torture of your daughter at least until your mate arrives and when you don’t comply I am going to mark her and make her mine, and then we are going to kill you both together.”I tried slipping my hands out of the chains, but they seemed like they were coated with something, it was kind of burning my wrists. I wanted to tell Roman he was hurting me, but clearly, he had all of this planned. I didn’t want to see anyone die, but seeing Roman begging for his life was something I could see. I knew what I was feeling was wrong, but with everything that I had
Vampire King’s POVWatching everything go down in slow motion was inviting. When I found out Roman had Nathaniel’s mate, I could see it was beginning to bring out his Lycan. I didn’t want to see Nathaniel hurt but if they killed each other I would just move my Clan into this castle and force the other Lycans to bow down to me, and show me the respect the vampires had lacked all these years.Lost in my thoughts I didn’t see Oliver lunge at Roman, I stood there and watch everything unfold. It was amazing that Oliver was able to fight through the drugs they were weak against, but it was also good that he was going to kill Roman.I thought Roman was a good Lycan but clearly, he wanted more power than King Gideon had. He wanted the same things he did, and he was just like King Gideon. So it was something I knew would be a good ending if Oliver hurt him or killed him at least.“Finally!” Roman growled at Oliver. “I was beginning to think I would have to beat your mate to death to get you to
Seff's POVI felt my connection to Soma getting stronger, she was getting weaker because of the torture her body was going through. I knew I had to protect her as much as I could. I knew she wouldn't allow me to fully take over because she hadn’t mated with Oliver. If they would have marked each other I would have been able to stop most of this. Seeing my mate struggling to regain himself, I knew they used a crazy dose of Night’s Bane. It was banned in the Lycan community so how they got it was surprising, but they would pay for what they did.I needed to be free of these chains, but I wasn't sure Soma had the strength to will herself into me, if she did that we would be able to get through all of this together. I would save our mate, and she would get to be free of this.When I felt the vampire bite into us, I knew he was making a mistake. He didn’t realize my becoming like him would end his race. We would kill everyone and not care about what happens. We would be a rabid dog and the
Nathaniel’s POVWatching things go down was crazy, I didn’t know Seff was going to be like this. I did know she was an ancient being but I didn’t know she could be consumed by darkness from a simple vampire bite. I didn’t get to talk to my mate before she disappeared and now that she was in front of me I knew there was something I had to do. I knew I had to shut Seff down again before she got our daughter killed. I wasn't sure if Seff knew what she was doing or if she was out of control. I couldn’t chance it.When she went for Soma’s mate I had to stop her, I lunged at her before she connected with Oliver. I was afraid to bite her as I have read it was a bad thing. Closing my eyes I knew it was either her or me and I didn’t care about myself anymore.Forcing her to the ground I was able to get on top of her, she was stronger than I was but I still managed to have the upper hand. I felt everyone was unsafe, but I knew this was the only way we could do this. Until we knew if there was a
Nick’s POVI had never read up on Seff and what she could do, but when I watched how she reacted to the Vampire King's bite, I thought she was going to go crazy. She killed almost everyone in the room except a few of us. I managed to dodge her claws, she was out of it and I knew this wasn't how she was supposed to be. I wanted to know if there was something I could do to help her, but I wasn't entirely sure she could come back from the darkness that she was facing. I felt powerless to help my friend, and now that her wolf was out it was a little worse than I thought.Watching her fight all the vampires and few Lycans that came in to help everyone else. I wasn't sure where I should stand, I knew I didn’t want to die and I knew Seff was unstable because of what the vampire King did to her, but I also knew she wouldn't hurt me on purpose.I watched how everything went down and how Oliver was overly protective of Soma, that is what I wanted for her. I wanted her to find someone that would
Oliver’s POVListening to what Nathaniel had to say, I knew if Soma survived this she would be without a wolf. I knew she wouldn't be a weak Luna, but I was worried she would doubt herself alongside me. But forcing Seff back into the chains was the only way we could ensure she was safe. I knew Soma would ask a lot of questions about what happened. I wasn't sure how much she would remember, I hoped she would remember everything that way it would make sense.Picking her up, and following Nathaniel out of the throne room, he lead us to another room that had a bad and everything.“This was her room when King Gideon brought her here, she may not remember this place but at least you can rest until she can go back to New York,” Nathaniel said looking at me. “In the morning I hope she is awake so we can explain what happened and hopefully get her back on the path of recovery.”“Yes I want to take her home, she needs to be around our pack. I want to officially bring her into my pack as soon as
Nathaniel’s POVI sent the doctor in again to check on Soma, I needed to talk with Oliver. I knew he wanted to get home, and I wanted to get things ready for their departure. I would send them on a private plane that way there were no questions asked and he could rest with her since it was a long trip. I was sending Nick with them, I wanted to make sure everyone is safe. With Oliver being my son-in-law I wanted to make sure his needs were met too.When I heard the door open from the hallway I knew it was Oliver, I stood up and waited for him to join me at the table.“How are you feeling?” I asked as we sat down.“Good. I mean as good as I can,” he said looking at me. “How's your mate doing?”“She’ll recover, I had to remark her and all that for the healing to happen but she is glad to be safe with us.” I smiled. “Has there been any change with Soma?”“No,” he said shaking his head. “I wish she would let me know what she is feeling or something,” he said with a sad face. I knew there w
