Sunstone - Tainted by Enemy's Blood Chapter 19
Angelica’s POV Holding onto the rail, I slowly made my way down the old stone spiral staircase, that looked as if it had been carved directly from the earth beneath the bookstore many moons ago, making me wonder what could possibly be at the bottom of it. About halfway down the staircase, my stomach begins to turn into a knot, as it felt like I was descending into the pits of hell, while I could feel a darkness forming around me. Stopping on the stairs, trying to catch my breath that felt like it was being taken away from me, Joffrey quickly moves to my aide, as he asks, “Angelica, what is it?”Looking up at him standing on the step above me, I knew if I told him what I was feeling, he would make us turn around, but I needed to see what was below us, because whatever it was, I had the feeling it was the source of the darkness that had attacked me.“I’m fine.” I quickly replied to him, not wanting him to see the distress I was in, as I turned and continu

Angelica’s POV Joffrey pulled the vehicle to a halt in front of the grand hotel, and quickly got out and rushed to my side, taking me by the hand, before pulling me inside the lobby, as Talon and Darren followed us. Cedric came rushing over towards us, as Joffrey barks orders out to him, “Get these two a room, and if anyone suspicious comes looking for us, put this place on lockdown.” While he pulled me towards the elevator, taking complete control of the situation. As the elevator doors shut, Joffrey says to me, “We need to get you out of the city, but I am sure by now that they have all the exits blocked. We are going to have to keep bunkered down here for the night in the hopes that they give up the search for who killed their comrades.” Great, we were trapped in the city, and Uncle Tristan wasn’t here for me to ask for help, as he was at my parents’ trying to come up with a way to save me. Knowing that it was a long drive, I contempl

Joffrey’s POV After everything we had been through together these past couple of days, I would have thought that she could see through my facade of just wanting to be friends, but she was still holding onto the lie that we had told each other the night that we met at her ball. I had already caved once from the little act, stealing a kiss from her that haunts me every time I look at her, at the possibility of what could be between us, if she would just let her own guards down and trust me.There was an undeniable pull that I could feel in the depts of my soul towards her from the moment my eyes laid on hers, telling me that she was the one, but as I watched her that night at the party, I could clearly see she was just as lost in this world as I was. I sensed right away that she was different like myself, but even as I open up to her, telling her my secrets, she remains a closed book, unwilling to let me in.Unfortunately, without the knowledge of why she was being targe

Angelica’s POV My hand moved to my head, as it literally felt like it was going to explode, while I tried to open my eyes, but I was instantly blinded by the sunlight peering into the room. Sitting up in bed, I quickly realized that I was no longer in the hotel room, but an actual bedroom at someone’s house.Fear at that moment raced throughout my body, as my last memories came flooding back to me, with his haunting words echoing in my head. Once again, I had allowed him to violate me, this time even getting close enough to touch me, and my skin began to crawl just thinking about it.The sound of a click drew my attention towards the door, and I raced to remove the covers from on top of me, while I watched the doorknob begin to turn. Finally releasing myself from them, I got to my feet, raising my hands in front of me, ready to take down whoever walked through that door. As the door began to slowly open, I called upon my powers, and my hands began to gl

Angelica’s POV My eyes widened as Uncle Tristan walked into the room with a very stern look on his face, making me wonder how much Joffrey had told him, and how much he had told Joffrey, as I look between the two of them, now both staring at me. Uncle Tristan was the one to break the awkward silence by saying, “Angelica, do you know how worried your parents are right now? Do you know how much of your father’s resources are being used to find you? They think you were taken, and here I find out that you took it upon yourself to go rogue, hunting the individual that is hunting you on your own. You’re lucky to still be alive.” My head lowered knowing how disappointed he was in me and knowing now all the worry I had put my parents through. I should have realized that my parents would have exhausted their resources trying to find me, but honestly, I had done this to protect them. “Although I am infuriated with your poor decisio

Angelica’s POV “I am sorry that I brought you here, but you left me no other choice.” Joffrey says as he moves in front of me, obviously seeing me now looking as if I lost all hope, but I wasn’t upset with him, because now we knew there was a possibility that whoever this was that was violating me, he was doing it to others with powers too. If anything, Joffrey may have saved my life, because there was no telling what powers this individual had collected before and after me. With my lack of response to what he had just said, he then says to me, “Can’t you see that I am trying my best to protect you, which isn’t the easiest job when you are keeping secrets from me.” My head snapped up at that moment to look at him, and even though I could see desperation in his eyes, his words now upset me, because I wasn’t the only one that had been keeping secrets. “Secrets? I am not the only one here keeping them.” I told him, wanting him to know that

Angelica’s POV Unfortunately, Uncle Tristan’s home was like a maze, and I found myself lost within its walls, trying to find him. One would think that there would be an immense amount of help around with a home of this magnitude, but the place seemed to be deserted, giving me an eerie feeling. It was clear that Uncle Tristan had placed me as far away from everyone else within the home, obviously to keep me safe, but right now, a map of the house would have been nice, so I could at least find the kitchen. Finally, I came upon a massive staircase, and as I began to race down it, the sound of voices drew near, telling me that I was heading in the right direction to someone that could point me towards my uncle. With only one flight of stairs to go, I could now see who those voices were coming from, and of all the people it could have been, it was Joffrey speaking with someone. His head immediately turned in my direction, as I made my way to

Angelica’s POV Thankfully, the VIN number was present on the insurance information I had found, and before I knew it Joffrey had a site pulled up on his phone, but as he typed the numbers in, we both stood there staring at the map pulled up in shock. “Isn’t that your Aunt Rosa’s restaurant?” I asked Joffrey, making sure I was reading the location right. “Yeah, but she promised me she would leave town immediately.” Joffrey said, and I could hear the worry now in his voice, knowing that his aunt might be in trouble too. Even though I had tried my best to keep Joffrey out of all of this and keep him in the dark about what was really going on, fate seemed to have other plans, but I couldn’t shake the feeling that this was all my fault. Closing out the map, Joffrey tried to call his Aunt Rosa, but I could hear the call going straight to voice mail. Once again, he tried her number, but he still had no luck, and

Angelica’s POV I had to admit, Joffrey’s plan of forming an army might just work, especially from all the damage the heir had done while he tried to gain power. There was no doubt in my mind that the vampires and other supernatural beings in the city would be willing to fight back against the heir, if we could convince them that together we would have a chance to stop him. Our time had run out, and the little that I had learned about the sunstone and its powers was going to have to be enough. Thankfully last night, I felt like I had connected on some level with it, and I pray that when we go to battle it will once again join forces with my own powers. Now back within the city, Joffrey’s word of a meeting at my uncle’s house, spread among the supernatural residence like wildfire, as the gates to my uncle’s kingdom on the mountainside were opened for the first time, to all those that would come. Since Hayden had collected powers from all w

Joffrey’s POV As my canines pierced through Angelica’s flesh to leave my mark, a drop of her blood hit my tongue, awakening something inside of me, as a burst of power rushed through me like a bolt of lightning. Instantly, I realized that this wasn’t normal, and that it wasn’t the mate bond that was causing this surge of power I was feeling from her, but I couldn’t pull away just yet from the feeling it was giving me. Another drop of her blood hit my tongue, and it was clear to me where the source of the power was coming from, but it also made me realize that her blood had awakened my vampire side, as the thirst for her sweet blood began to consume me. A whimper came from Angelica’s lips at that moment, causing my two sides to be at war for the first time in my life. It was clear that what I was doing to her was hurting her, and I wanted to stop so badly, knowing that I was causing her pain, but my vampire side was being relentless, as i
Sunstone - Tainted by Enemy's Blood Chapter 54
Angelica’s POV Joffrey’s lips now kissed the lobe of my ear, as I began to feel the power from the words, he had just spoken to me. Not only were they tugging at my heart, but they were now having an effect on my soul, as I felt an immense sensation of my own love towards him beginning to rise within me. The mate bond between us was clearly affecting my judgement, but the more I thought about my feelings towards Joffrey, I realized that they started way before I even felt the pull of the mate bond to him. I had felt a connection with him the night of my ball, but the connection I felt with him had nothing to do with our bond, as it couldn’t have had influenced my feelings towards him, because it wasn’t present at the time, and my wolf was locked away, along with the mate bond. The feelings that I had for him were based off my own desires for him, without the need for the bond to help, making me realize that the mate bond didn’t ultimate
Sunstone - Tainted by Enemy's Blood Chapter 53
Angelica’s POV As I reached into my backpack for another set of clothes, I quickly realized that I was out, making me toss the backpack back to the floor, as I let out a growl of frustration. Tears began to pour down my cheeks, as I no longer could hold back the pain, while I slid to the floor, mad at myself for allowing myself to have feelings for him.If I had just stuck to the plan, and left Joffrey when we had reached the city, I wouldn’t be here right now wallowing in my sorrows. But then on the other hand, I wouldn’t have the sunstone, and even though I knew I needed it, I didn’t know if the pain I was feeling right now was worth it.My heart was broken, and there was no power in this world that could fix that, making me wish that I could turn back time to the night of my ball, and take off like I was wanting too. But Raven had talked me into coming back inside, and that ended up being the worst mistake of my life.What I didn’t understand is how my spell didn’t
Sunstone - Tainted by Enemy's Blood Chapter 52
Joffrey’s POV For days I had dreamt of this moment, but after coming here and finding out what my fate was to be, I couldn’t bond myself to her until I knew my soul was safe from Hades. The pain that she was feeling now would be nothing compared to the pain of losing me as a marked Luna, and I couldn’t do that to her. I couldn’t be selfish and allow my own wants to shadow her wellbeing, but I also couldn’t bear the pain I was causing her right now. Looking into her eyes, I could see the immense pain she was feeling, along with her anger towards me, which I couldn’t blame her for, because for the past couple of days I had tried to make her see that she was my mate. But after finding out that my soul belonged to Hades, there was a chance that there was no future for us. “Angelica, please let me explain.” I pleaded with her to allow me the opportunity to explain myself to her, because I didn’t want things between us to be like this.
Sunstone - Tainted by Enemy's Blood Chapter 51
Angelica’s POV A rush of emotions hit me like a ton of bricks, as I realized this wasn’t just a thing between us, or destiny bringing our two families back together again. Now I understood why my wolf shared a connection with his, and why she had listened to him and had locked me away, only to set me free when he pleaded with her too. This whole time he knew we were true mates, fated together by my greatest grandmother, and he didn’t tell me. His wolf came to a halt in front of mine, as he slowly approached us, nuzzling once again against my wolf, just as happy to see her as she was to see him. A part of me was upset with him for not telling me, but another part of me was confused why he had kept this from me. Most of all, I couldn’t understand why my wolf didn’t make this known to me, as it was clear that the connection between his wolf and her had already been made, probably when she had locked me away. I now understood what he had sai
Sunstone - Tainted by Enemy's Blood Chapter 50
Angelica’s POV This was definitely not part of my plan, which I was now seeing was a bit careless of me. In my defense, how was I to know that he had a whole pack of these beasts, but of course he would because he was a God, and probably had an endless supply of them at his fingertips. One of the hellhounds at that moment barked at me, making me leave out a nervous chuckle, before I said, “Down boy.” As if the beast was a damn dog that was going to listen to me. But to my surprise, the hellhound that I had just commanded began to shift before my eyes, just as if a wolf would turn into a human, but this creature now staring back at me was no human from this realm. His eyes still burned with a flame in them, as he stared at me, and it didn’t take long for me to realize that this creature in front of me had no soul. “Hades demands the soul promised to him.” The creature said with a voice that almost sounded demonic like he w

Angelica’s POV Standing in the middle of the front yard, I watched Joffrey setting up targets just like the ones I had back at home, but little did he know those targets were no match for my own powers that I had. Once he was finished with the last target, he moved to my side, taking my hand into his, before he says, “Try and tap into the sunstone’s powers, but use me as an anchor.” I wanted to tell him about the conversation that I had with Carla, and that I couldn’t tap into the powers of the sunstone, but I knew if I did, he would call this whole thing off, especially if he knew that I couldn’t control its powers. So instead of telling him that, I decided to use my own powers, praying that the sunstone would do its own thing. With my hand in his, I raised my other hand towards the target, calling upon my own powers, before I let a stream of it flow from my fingertips towards the target hitting it dead center like I always do, but the
Sunstone - Tainted by Enemy's Blood Chapter 48
Angelica’s POV Something had changed in Joffrey’s mind set, making me wonder what happened to cause him to change his mind about me tapping into its power again, but I wasn’t going to question it right now, as long as he was willing not to just hand his soul over to Hades once this was over with. Stepping outside with my hand in Joffrey’s, I spotted his grandmother standing in the middle of the front yard with a woman in a black cloak. The woman’s head instantly turned to look in our direction and as soon as our eyes met, I could sense that she wasn’t just any woman, but a very old and powerful witch. As we walked towards them, I heard Joffrey’s grandmother saying, “Thank you, Carla. I am sorry for having to call upon you, but I had no other choice.” “Madam Eleanor, please do not apologize. I am forever in debt to you and your family for what you have done for me. I have made sure that your land is secure, from the creatu
