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 As the ashes from the heir’s army settled completely to the ground in front of me, and our frontlines of defense made their way back into position, I stepped forward knowing that I now had to find the heir. His army was now almost obsolete, and what was left of them I could see retreating, making me realize that our army was out of harm’s way for the meantime. Making my way with Raven by my side through our frontlines of defense, I began to scan the area, trying to seek where the heir could be hiding, but there were completely no signs of him, making me believe that he too had retreated. As we came to the center where the heir’s army once stood, Raven began to growl, as the ashes began to move dead center in front of us. Raising my hands, I waited for whoever survived the surge of power to show themselves, as fear hit me that it could very well be the heir. But as multiple bodies began to rise from the ashes, I realized th

Angelica’s POV “Raven!” I called out, as the dust began to settle in front of me, showing the mass destruction of my powers, as I prayed to my greatest grandmother, that I didn’t kill my cousin in the process of trying to save myself from the heir’s men. The once green vegetation in front of me was now covered in the dust of the vampires’ remains, as not a single survivor remained. My heart began to race in my chest, as I called out once again to Raven, while I began to move towards where he had been standing when I had sent the blast of my powers straight towards him and the heir’s men. The chaos behind me now sounded muffled, as my head felt like it was beginning to spin, thinking that I had just recklessly used my powers, killing my cousin. But as I moved towards where he was standing the dust that coated the ground began to move, making me freeze in my tracks, not knowing if it was Raven or one of the heir’s men that had survived.
Sunstone - Tainted by Enemy's Blood Chapter 79
Joffrey’s POV The heir’s army was gaining ground, as they had busted through the protection shield and the gates of Angelica’s father’s estate, and I was trying to do my best to help hold them, allowing Angelica and Selena enough time to reverse the spell of the telus. But it was clear that the heir had utilized his time regrouping, coming up with a strategic plan to infiltrate the estate, taking us all by surprise. Alpha Bishop was doing his best with his warriors to take down as many of the heir’s men that he could, but there were far too many of them, making him have to allow small groups at a time through. His warning howl echoed through the land, warning the second line of defense that they were coming, and I prayed that our second line of defense could handle them, as they were the only thing now standing in the way of the heir’s men reaching Angelica. My greatest grandfather on the other hand had disappeared once the gates came do
Sunstone - Tainted by Enemy's Blood Chapter 78
Angelica’s POV Stepping outside the protective walls of my father’s house, I froze in shock at the chaos that was happening on the front lawn, as the heir’s army had made their way through my father’s gates. The witches and warlocks were holding their own against the vampires, and the wolves were in full blown battle mode, scattered out on the entirety of the front lawn, holding the vampires from making their way to the house. Joffrey nor my father were no where in sight, making me believe that they were on the frontlines with my Uncle Bishop, trying to hold off the heir from entering. I knew that I had to get to them, but there was no safe direct path to make it there. Taking a deep breath, I composed myself, knowing that I had to make it passed a battlefield if I was going to make it to the frontlines where they were. Calling upon my powers, I raised my hands in front of me, before I began to make my way down the steps, knowing that on
Sunstone - Tainted by Enemy's Blood Chapter 77
Angelica’s POV It didn’t take long for Talon to come walking in the room, as I stood beside Selena while she went over the spell with me, knowing that it was going to take all three of us to reverse the spell that Alatar had placed on the telus. I personally had never seen such a complex spell as the one we were about to perform, but I knew that Selena knew what she was doing and had faith in her to guide me through it. “Just in time.” Selena says to Talon, as she grabs the potion she had made, while she ushers for me to retrieve the candles placing them in a circle like she had told me to do. As I placed the candles in the circle, Talon moved to stand to the north, as Selena moved the potion to the center taking her place to the south, while I moved between the two of them to the east. When we were all in our places, Selena says, “Whatever happens, don’t break the circle.” She then turned to face me, before she says, “I

Joffrey’s POV “How is this even possible?” I asked, stepping away from Angelica, towards my greatest grandfather, now alive and well standing before me. “It seems the heir’s blood wasn’t the only thing trapped inside the sunstone.” Angelica confesses to me, making Ambrogio’s eyes move from my own to her. I had my suspicions that his soul was somehow bonded to the sunstone, but I never would have imagined that he was literally trapped inside of it.“The heir’s blood?” Ambrogio asks, as if he was confused, which he probably was, since it has been many moons since he was imprisoned, and so much has changed since then. “Tyler, the vampire that had imprisoned you is dead, by my mother’s hands, but he left behind a son, which is whose blood was trapped inside the sunstone with you.” Angelica explains to him, trying to get him up to date with what is going on here now at the present time. “Tyler’s dead.” He now said,
Sunstone - Tainted by Enemy's Blood Chapter 75
Angelica’s POV My body was frozen in place, as I continued to stare into the sunstone, realizing that the heir’s blood wasn’t the sole cause of the pulse that beat in the center of it, as it now looked like it had a heart of its own. At first, I felt fear, but that fear was slowly disappearing as I began to feel a source of energy from the sunstone entering my body. As that energy seeped from the sunstone into the tips of my fingers, making its way up my arms and to my heart, I began to feel an immense feeling of love washing through me like a tidal wave. Of course, I thought it was Selene’s love, making me close my eyes, as I began to welcome it into my heart, but as I welcomed the love into me, I realized it wasn’t her love I was welcoming. Tyler’s voice at that moment begins to echo in my head, as he says, “Only my blood shall release you, combined with the love of her soul.
Sunstone - Tainted by Enemy's Blood Chapter 74
Angelica’s POV Holding the sunstone in my hand, I tried to focus on the tiny little speck in the middle of it pulsating, but I was finding it hard to do so with all the chaos going on outside. “Focus Angelica.” Selena says to me, as she hovers over me, making it even harder for me to focus, with all the pressure that was now on my shoulders, and the thought of Joffrey out there on the frontlines. Leaving out a growl of frustration, I lowered the sunstone from my view, before I said, “I don’t know if I can do this.” While tears began to pool in my eyes, knowing that so many lives were counting on me, but here I was unable to pull myself together. For some reason, my mind was still stuck on Mrs. Thomas, and how I wasn’t strong enough to keep her safe. It was a brutal reminder to me that I wasn’t as strong as I once thought that I was, and right now, there was so many lives counting on me that I felt the weight of the pressure n
Sunstone - Tainted by Enemy's Blood Chapter 73
Angelica’s POV I don’t know exactly what I was expecting when we returned to the house, but I knew that the look on Selena’s face, along with Talon’s expressions right now wasn’t it. It was clear that something was wrong, as the look of dread filled her eyes, as she stood there holding the book that Alatar had left for her. Moving quickly to Selena’s side, I asked her, “What’s wrong? Is there something wrong with the reversal spell?” “There’s nothing wrong with the reversal spell, it will work, but it calls for a drop of the heir’s blood.” She explains to me, and I shake my head as I realize that was never going to happen, especially with the shield that he keeps up around him, protecting him from anyone being able to lay a hand on him, let alone get a drop of his blood. “Damn it!” Joffrey says, as he runs his hands through his hair, obviously frustrated that even with the reversal spell there was no way to use it, but then h
