Scarlett's POV:Not long after the reunion with my family, Talon had come to get me saying they both needed to rest, especially my mother. It was still a shock to me, how my boss was able to bring them both, I had wanted to ask them earlier about it but I neglected it knowing it would only bring more hurtful memories to them. Talon and I walked back into the surrounding, the warmth comforting me. " I promise to answer each questions you have Scarlett," Talon surprised me by saying. He stopped walking, coming to stand in front of me. His demeanor didn't fail to intimidate me." Micage isn't in the position to answer any of your questions now so I'd rather do the talking for him. He and I grew up together, we are step brothers so there's nothing about him that I don't know,"He isn't in the position? No wonder he didn't come with us. Talon said he'd answer all my questions, I didn't mind but would much prefer it if the boss was the one answering me." Okay," I gave him a smile which h
Writer's POV:A few years back at the Sanguine Kingdom, before the birth of the royal prince. The priest had announced his warnings to the king, advising him to get rid of the seed in the Queen's womb, he had said the unborn child was a curse...a bad omen who would bring destruction and doom to the kingdom of Sanguine. The queen, Lady Hannah didn't believe such a lie and wasn't ready to take the step of ending the life of her unborn child. However, the autocratic king of the Sanguine, Lord Ruthven had exited the presence of the priest assuring him that he would call for him if he had convinced his wife. Lady Hannah was the King's first wife, they had been married for about twelve years without her conceiving a child, at such point, the king was forced to marry another lady who could bare him a heir, he had married Lady Pandora, his second wife who had immediately conceived a child for the king and had named him Talon. The kingdom had celebrated and rejoiced, thinking they had found t
Writer's POV: It's been years already. The Sanguine Kingdom in blossom and achievement. The boys grew up together, one being loquacious and playful, the other being quiet and distant. Talon and Micage, two brothers but very different from one other. It wasn't long after the decision to keep Micage alive that Queen Pandora had passed away, the kingdom mourned her death, she used to be merciful, kind and pure. The people preferred her over Queen Hannah. Soon things went back to the way there had been. There hadn't been anything bad about Micage ever since he was born, he was simply distant and quiet but at times played with his step brother, Talon. This showed that the prophecy Vlad had made was nothing but a false statement, that was they believed and so King Ruthven had him kept in the dungeons for weeks, thirst and hunger being his companion." Are your wings out yet, brother?" Talon's little voice had eagerly yet excitedly asked his brother who was seated on a cushion, a tabl
Writer's POV: Removing the wings from his back wasn't an easy task. They knew how strong headed Talon was, he wouldn't agree to it and they knew if they should tell him the truth, somehow, the two boys may grow up to be rivals. So, they did what they thought could be the only way. After the servant girl had brought them both to the Convo, she had left the boys with their parents, Vlad and another darkling vampire who possessed the power of healing. Convo, was a place outside the palace, normally a place where punishment of high ranked vampires took place. It resembled a dungeon but was far bigger and spacious than that. Talon, Micage, King Ruthven, Queen Hannah, Vlad along with the darkling vampire whose name was Marius all gathered in the Convo. The boys wondered, gazing warily at their parents, they knew what happened in the Convo but what they didn't know was why they were brought here. Queen Hannah was first to speak, she walked towards Talon, squatting down so she could maint
Writer's POV:It was already dark, it was night but still the two vampires had refused to return home despite what they knew was going on in the kingdom, it wasn't safe for anyone any longer, especially at night that the king had pose a curfew, no vampire should be seen outside their house the moment the clock hits 8pm. Talon and Mark knew this but due to their strong headedness, they refused to leave the Glam. " You'd make a good king though, I'm sure your mother would be very proud of you,"Talon ignored his words, he wasn't king so there was nothing to be proud about. Plucking out a flower from the bunches of flowers that grew, Talon whispered; " There is something with Micage, something too different about him..."Talon was caught short by Mark’s scoff." You think Micage is the only different vampire here? Honestly, I think this is more about you than it is to him. You're...too complicated,"Talon grunted, clenching the flower into his palm, destroying its uniqueness until it sc
Writer's POV: King Ruthven maintained eye contact with Mark but broke it as soon as Micage marched into the room. Talon, however hissed annoyingly, clenching and unclenching his hand to a fist. Mark remained absolutely quiet, his gaze drafting towards Micage." Son!" King Ruthven stated, his brows curled up in confusion. Another silence intervened, Talon looked at his father, his face looking as if he was having a debate in his mind...like he didn't believe what they had told him earlier. " It was you!" Talon started, moving closer to Micage; " You in the Glam, you killed four vampires, you cannot deny it brother because we were there with you...we saw everything you did back there,"Micage rose a brow; " I see,"King Ruthven cleared his throat, tugging his hands behind his back, casually he walked towards the two. " Do you have proof for your accusations, Talon?"That was the point where Talon hesitated, he glanced back at Mark whose face depicted nothingness. " Yes," Talon answ
Writer's POV: Queen Hannah sat beside her husband, crossing her arms thoughtfully, it wasn't too long that she had arrived at the chambers to find her husband and Vlad discussing. She had seen the look on her husband's face, and instantly she knew something was wrong. After she had been fed with explanations, she understood the situation. Micage's bad luck was falling upon the kingdom. She had strongly disagreed with the killing of Micage, her only son...blood and flesh, she couldn't allow him to die. But Vlad had said that there was another way out, which was casting Micage out of the kingdom after he was no longer a Redline vampire. That was one thing that seemed nearly impossible even though in reality it had been done before.After much controversy, they arrived at a conclusion. Before nightfall, they would gather the people and expose Micage, kneel him and eventually turn him into a Darkblood vampire... Now that was the hardest decision that Queen Hannah was able to agree to, a
Scarlett's POV: My mate was worthy, vigorous, handsome, mighty...but in a word, he was perfect, because for me he was too perfect. The man that I ever wanted, the man who did all nasty things just to hurt me but also did everything beyond his powers to make sure that I was okay, the one who tormented me, played with my feelings, the one who kept on appearing in my dreams...he was here with me and he was mine and mine alone. Talon stood at the corner of the room, watching us intensively, Mark however was standing in front of me, applying onto my stomach a gel which was meant to heal my injured wound completely. The one I had gotten from the man who sliced his sword into my stomach.I still didn't understand how that came about but I suspected it had something to do with my supernatural self.Mark was forced to do the treatment, since he knew more in medicine than Talon and Micage... Cage, my Cage. I cringe a bit at the thought of that. He was no longer the boss Martinez I knew

I watched them carry her body away. Shock still overwhelmed me...my mother was dead? Max was wounded too. Where was Cage when they needed him...he fucking promised that he would look after them...he promised me.My teary eyes roved over to him, he was on one kneel, his eyes exhibiting sadness and regrets. " You promised me,"Cage shook his head vigorously, trying to explain what happened; " Scarlett... please..."" You're a traitor. How could you break your promise, how could you let my mom die? You fucking bastard! I hate you so much,"I yelled, slapping him multiple times across his face. I saw Hermie came over to me, her anguish face and eyes glaring down at Cage." He doesn't deserve you, you've suffered too much just by staying with him. He doesn't deserve an angel like you, can't you see how he's hurting you? Can't you see that he's your rival? You need to fucking reject him as your mate before the worse happens,"Hermie's words dug into my heart. She was only making it worse fo
Scarlett's POV: " Sausages?" I took the wrapped sausages and kept it inside the brown leather bag." You guys sure need water also,"Jessy handed me two bottles of water and I didn't hesitate to keep them inside the bag. Today was the day Talon and I were going to Validon. He had told me that to get there was going to be a long journey, five days to be precise. So I thought packing a few things would help. I thanked Jessy before heading out. Thankful that I didn't have to bump into Miriam. Talon was already waiting outside along with Gray whose face depicted worries but it seemed to disappear the instant he saw me. " Here, let me help," Talon, as the gentleman he was, collected the bag and hung it over his shoulders." Scarlett, don't you think it's a good idea to cover up a little? The weather there is a quite harsh and also we'd be bumping into a lot of perverts,"Talon told me. I looked down at my dress, I wore a top that I tucked into my high waist skirt which stopped just at
Micage's POV: Damn her! She loved him? She loved Jones and not me? I scoffed, how pathetic. I know I tried a lot not to let the pain reflect but my efforts weren't working because I could feel the way my heart squeezed brokenly, I was so heartbroken. How can she choose him over me? How the fuck did he even get here? I owned the place yet no fucking person except Miriam had told me about Jones. Shit and that was when I lost it. The way Miriam had described to me what she saw them doing, I nearly thought they were going to have sex. But now I do know that I no longer matter. Scarlett had undergone a lot of changes that I cannot deny and so did I. This love of a thing was really making me too weak...very weak and I fucking didn't like it.Why does it seem like she was the stronger one and I'm the weaker one that craves for her love all the time. Is it because I'm suffering from the lack of our intimacy?Of course, that was how things worked. The female mate never got to feel the pain f
Scarlett's POV:" I didn't know because I found it quite difficult these past days to connect with her. I've also noticed some changes in me whenever I try to mind travel. It's as if I am slowly beginning to lose my powers. I thought they were normal changes...but now I don't think it is anymore and sure I could have felt her pain when she lost the baby,"Talon uttered, face palming his face in terror. He shook slightly." What do you plan to do now, Talon?"Talon said nothing for a moment but after a brief silence, he endured and silently whispered; " I'd just let it be. I'm not the only one this would happen to. It'd expected it to be difficult because she wasn't really carrying a human child, infact, the late baby could overpower her if he becomes too strong for her. Vampire babies are like rocks so...I don't know,"" Isn't there a solution or something? Perhaps you can get back to her and tell her the entire truth,"" Scarlett, I can't. Think of how her reaction would be, I may ev
Writer's POV:Diego pressed his lips into a thin line, giving Maya the most challenging look he could muster. " The two guys outside ended up dead, you kidnapped the other poor guy's sister...what a legend you are Diego,"Diego let out a throaty chuckle. " You can say that again. I am indeed a legend. So what now? You'd come with me to Dondania, will you?"For a moment, Maya wondered. How would she feel going to Dondania with Diego when she had a lot of ' finding Scarlett and murdering her soon enough' plan to work on?" I'm good,"Diego didn't protest. He could handle the remaining taka himself now. The very moment they had left the warehouse, Diego had left a note, telling his secret investigators to head to Dondania and begin their search. The secret investigators were the source he used for his findings and dirty works. Those investigators were the ones who had kidnapped Jessica on the command of Diego. Diego had his own power and authority, he had his little clan which was inf
Writer's POV: Diego returned back to them, Maya and Cassandra. His face turned into one of horror as the two awaited the bad news they expected." I can't find him," Diego spoke." Damn it! Where the fuck did he go?" Maya yelled, throwing a furious punch on the table in which a jar stood, in the cause of punching, the jar fell to the floor and shattered into pieces." Jones is weak, I'm sure he wouldn't have gone too far if he tried to escape,"Cassandra interfered, wearing the same angry look on her face.Just when they thought they would finalize their plan with the help of Jones, he had decided to disappear...they suspected that he had escaped and if truly he had done so then why did he do so? There was no right answer to that." Diego, you go after him. Search the whole damn city and see if you'll find him. I'll head back to Baridona now..."" Baridona! You can't, you'd die outside,"" Then what the fuck do you expect me to do?" Maya yelled, shooting her glare at Diego. " Didn't
Scarlett's POV: " You've killed him," Cage pulled out the knife. His gaze met mine and he gritted his teeth so hard that I heard it; " He was flirting with you,"He answered me with no shame...no regret. How worse could he even get?" You cheated on me Cage and it's not once, not twice but several times, what is wrong with you? Why do you always like to crush my heart like it's nothing..."I had no more words to say to him. I cleaned my teary eyes and went back to Jones, his chest bled profusely, he wasn't groaning anymore, he wasn't even breathing and at the back of my mind, I was thinking he was dead. I hadn't noticed that Miriam had left the room before because now she returned in with the least person I expected to see, Gray." Oh shit!" He dashed towards us, not sparing either Cage and I a glance. " I need something cold, Miriam, could you get me one?"Miriam left and returned immediately with an ice bag. Gray took it from her before pressing it against Jones' bleeding chest.
Scarlett's POV:" What is happening to her? Is she going to be alright?"Max's voice grew high pitched, his worrisome yet surprising eyes met with mine. Mark, Talon and Miriam were the ones attending to my mother. I suspected Miriam to be a vampire also because she and Mark were the ones doing most of the work. Talon came to me and pulled me into an embrace, calmly patting my hair.My Mom had gone unconscious because of me. She was always getting hurt because of me. If I had known this was going to happen then I wouldn't have said a thing. Now look what I've caused.I wouldn't be able to forgive myself if something bad should happen to her. I cannot bear to see her hurt because of me... again." It's nothing serious. She's simply stressed, I bet she hasn't been getting enough of sleep but you don't need to worry, she'll be okay before you know it,"Miriam spoke. Mark nodded in agreement." Perhaps it's best if she sleeps for the meantime without anyone disturbing her. It'd help to imp
