SERAPHINA POV
Its hard to believe but the twins are now two years old, we are about to have a birthday party for them. All the clans and even some of the packs from the werewolf kingdom have been invited, Noah wouldn't have forgiven us if he and his family were not invited. They also have a couple of pups, a one year old boy and a one month old daughter. The other kids love causing trouble, Charlotte and the triplets are little explorers they are two in a couple of months but they run around like they are five. Nathaniel is just like Dominic, he is a natural born leader one word from him even at two and everyone listens even some of the adults. Scarlett is the quiet one, she spends a lot of her time in the garden, reading, drawing or painting but the thing she is excelling at is fighting. She practices with Phoenix every day and even at two has taken down a couple of our better fighters. They both are hybrids and both of them can shift into their wolves already, its somethingSERAPHINA POV Angus looks around and smirks, he looks back at Leo and nods. Leo lets out a loud howl and more wolves emerge out of the forest behind him. I shiver realising that he had this planed, he wanted King Noah and King Dominic to see that he could get to me with them watching. "Dom/Caleb this is what he wanted.... and again I played right into his hands. I will have to talk to Lilith about only walking around one of the rooms in the castle from now on.""Don't be silly Sera, he will not make us do that to either of you.""How do we stop this Angus?"He growls "That is Alpha Angus...""Sorry Angus you don't have that title anymore." King Noah yells from the side"I am still an Alpha and I will be call and treated as such. Now the only way not to have any bloodshed today is for you Seraphina to come with me quietly right now!" I hear a hiss from Dominic and a growl from Noah, both dont like what he just offer
ANGUS POVI really didn't think it would be that easy, I was expecting much more of a fight especially from that vamp king but she made him stand down. Seraphina is such a prize, it will be such a pity to break her but it is going to be fun as well and now with her new fear of Leo it is going to be so much better.My spy did me good over the last two years, letting me know everything. Our main base is my old pack territory but we move around a little every few months so that when they do their checks trying to find us they are always at least a week late. Now in that time Leo and I have also been building a special bunker for our darling Seraphina. It has all the things one needs, bedroom, bathroom, sitting room and kitchen which is fully stocked. There is also a room where we will be able to shift can't not let Lilith out, that would be too cruel.That is where Leo and I are heading now, while the others head back to the pack house. They have been told its time
LEO POVWe helped everyone move, then went and found the pack males some females to play with. Once everyone was settled we made our way back to where we were keeping Seraphina. I was looking forward to getting reacquainted with her.Angus opens the door to the bunker and I head down the stairs, Angus follows after entering and locking the door behind him. I get to the bottom of the stairs walk into the sitting room, I look around and see an empty plate on one of the sofas. I then realise that our darling Seraphina is awake, I scan the room and finally meet her eyes where she is standing in the corner. I slowly make my way over to her and go to grab her arm, she surprises me by hitting my hand away and says "I told you, neither of you were going to touch me again."I swing she dodges, she swings I block we go back and forth for a while. I managed to get her down on her back once and I went to kick her but she blocked it and got back to her feet. She has definite
ANGUS POV I then use my hands to lift myself up into a kneeling position over her. She is wearing a shirt and some shorts out of the draws, I run my hands up and down her body and everytime I got to the bottom of her shirt I would lift it up just a bit more. After a few more times I had managed to move the shirt so it was bunched up at her neck. I run my hands down her skin enjoying the feeling, on the way up once again I stop when I get to the shirt I grab it and move it up her arms over her head and stop at Leo's hands. I can't help myself and I run my hands up and down her body again. Leo moves and puts both of Seraphina's hands in one of his, he then leans forward so he too can run a hand up and down her body. She shivers again in fear and I look at her face in time to see a tear escape and fall down the side of her face.I want to do so much more and I can tell Leo does too but we have plenty of time for that. She starts to struggle again, trying to get me off an
ANGUS POVI walk into the bunker and find Seraphina sitting watching a movie, we have been giving her just a small amount of the drug over the last few weeks. One to make her sleep and two that vamp is getting a little close for comfort so we have had to move the pack several times, everyone of them is a rogue so they are use to moving and none complain as long as every so often we bring in a couple of females for them to play with.I move in front of her to get her attention but she just ignores me "Darling we are having dinner together tonight just us, get up and join me in the kitchen."She didn't respond, so I slap her which brings her back from where ever she was. When she looked at me I said "I told you to get up..." and slapped her again and pull her to her feet."Just because we have been easy on you lately doesn't mean you can disrespect me." I go to hit her again but this time she surprises me by moving and forcing me to let her go."Are
LEO POVI know I shouldn't go and see Seraphina while I am in this mood but her vamp caught up with some of our pack and killed everyone of them that couldn't answer his questions. Now none of them know where Seraphina is they only know we have her. I watched as he slaughtered them, they fought back but it was still a slaughter. I guess he wasn't lying last time when he warned me what would happen when someone touches and takes the vampire's queen. After this I think that vamps queen needs a bit of pain too.I walk to the bunker and let myself in, I lock it behind me and as I make my way down the stairs I can hear Seraphina. It sounds like she is doing some training, I continue to walk down the stairs until I am in the sitting room and what I see confirms what I thought she was doing. I watch her move and notice there is so much of that vamp in her moves that the anger rises once again. She stops when she see me and her eyes meet mine, it didn't even register that I ha
DOMINIC/CALEBPOV We have all been trying to contact Seraphina, every now and then it feels like we might be getting through but then it disappears again. I had a discussion with Doc Emily and Doc Erik and they have put it down to they are drugging her, what ever they are giving her is only a small dose just enough to block the mind-link but not the bond itself. We can all still feel what she does but we just can't talk to her. I don't give up though because the day I do that is the day everyone dies. So every night I keep trying I open the mate mind-link and talk to her, I just wish I could hear her voice in return. I start my message like I always do "My Lady! I don't know if you can hear me but I will keep trying until you do. We love you, I know they haven't done anything serious yet but I know they will just stay strong and know we are looking for you and none of us will rest until you are safe at ho
SERAPHINA POV I woke up the next morning alone, I curled up into myself and cried. I didn't move from there all day, I think it might have been a couple of days. I didn't want to see what I looked like and every time I moved every part of me hurt even now and I'm sure it has been a couple of days. Lilith has been keeping me company between when Angus and Leo are here but I haven't heard a thing from her since Leo put those marks on me, I can't see the one on my shoulder but I can see the one on my breast. Its a mark of claim, it is different to the mate mark but it can be just as strong. The worst thing about it is that it would have caused Dominic so much pain, I'm sure he would think I betrayed him. The claim mark is why I can't talk to Lilith, it acts like a blocker. Blocking the feelings Lilith has for Dominic/Caleb and tries to make me have feelings for the one that claimed me. But he terrifies me too much and even the human side of me i
SCARLETT POVI stand on the balcony to Phoenix's room; I have been spending most of my nights here with Phoenix since just after my tenth birthday. Being with him helps with my nightmares. I have also known since I was little that Phoenix was my mate. My wolf and vampire have only ever agreed on one thing, and that is him. I have loved him for the longest time, but I won't tell anyone as they all just see me as a child. I also know he loves me too, but with the gentleman, he is he will honor the promise he made to my parents when I was a baby and that is he will not do anything with that love until I am of age. He walks up and puts his arms around me and whispers into my ear, "Butterfly, what are you doing out here? And what are you thinking about?""I had another nightmare, and I was just thinking about you being my mate while I was watching the blood moon. Are you okay? Do you need to drink some more?" I smile as I move my hair away from my neck to give h
DOMINIC POVCaleb fades to the back of my mind, allowing me full control again. I smile to myself as I feel my body come alive again, even after everything Caleb had just done, Seraphina runs her fingers mindlessly over my chest, I let out a low hiss as the soft sparks of pleasure from her fingers runs through me, she stops and looks up at me, "Dominic, I am sorry I couldn't stop him from..." a tear starts to fall down her cheek,I put my hand on her cheek and wipe away the tear as I say "My Lady Sera, I do not blame you. Teresa has been adamant about how much and how often you would fight and keep fighting no matter what he did. That you would even stop him from using her whenever you could, you would take twice as much just so she wouldn't have to.""It was my duty as a queen, whether I am her queen or not, but more importantly, she became my friend and I just couldn't let him hurt her any more than I could let him hurt Sebastian.""My lady,
DOMINIC/CALEBPOVAs soon as the mate bond broke and Seraphina became Lilith in wolf form, the power and responsibility of me being king returned as the one I passed it to was no longer able to fulfill that duty. I was okay to start with but I haven't been myself lately; I have been out hunting a lot and when I find a rogue; it doesn't matter if it is vampire or werewolf. There is never much left of them after Caleb is finished. I know the blood moon is coming. I feel the pull of it, the pull of power, the pull to power, to kill while drinking and taking any power I can get, but I have been fighting it as much as I can. I nearly failed last night. Caleb nearly killed a rogue werewolf that had wandered into our territory by drinking from him, but I managed to pull him back at the last moment with a beautiful memory of Seraphina.I heard a commotion yesterday afternoon but didn't really take any notice of it once I heard Phoenix yell "STAND
PHOENIX POVIt has been six months since Seraphina/Lilith disappeared, King Noah keeps us updated on her whereabouts through Patrick and Ethan but they haven't come back in this direction since they left, she seems to be heading for and hanging just outside Noah's kingdom.Josephine, Scarlett, and Teresa have been looking after the triplets, while Sebastian, Theodore, and I are keeping an eye on Dominic. When Seraphina or Lilith didn't come back after a few weeks Dominic went looking for her for a couple more but come back without her, Nathaniel tells us that the thin thread of the claim bond is still there so there is still a possibility of getting her back but I'm not sure if that is even possible now as even Dominic and Caleb have slowly become cruel again giving up on the love they once shared. I'm sure his heart is slowly freezing again and if that happens before Seraphina and Lilith come back, I'm afraid our king will be lost and Nathaniel, even with how
DOMINIC POVPhoenix runs out of the room and I hear him run down the stairs. I take this time to crawl out of bed and put some pants on. As I come back out of the closet, Phoenix comes into the room with Noah walking quickly behind him."Hey! Dom, what seems to be the problem?""I made a mistake, a really big mistake..."That is when he looks at me. "Dom! Your mate mark....""Yes, I know, Phoenix told me.... but that isn't the only problem. I think Seb needs your help in the bathroom."Noah walks over to the bathroom and opens the door. As soon as it is opened, out jumps Lilith in her wolf form. She tilts her head as she looks at Noah; she does a low growl and looks at the broken door then looks to the balcony; she tilts her head again and runs out onto the balcony, then jumped over the rail."NOOO!" Caleb and I yell as we run to the rail and watch as she lands on her paws, looks up at me, howl
LILITHPOV"No Sera, My Lady...""Sorry, Caleb but she is gone, you really broke her that night, the fighter in her that had fought for three weeks straight, fought to come back to the vampire she loves with all her heart, to the mate she had spent her life looking for but was not expecting or believing she would find, to the love that had kept her going through everything. Only to find it was no longer there, that she was alone again..""What about everyone else? Nix? Seb? Theo? Jose?""They had their own duties to do, and you rarely allowed Sera out of your sight. You wanted her nearby for your... What did you call her? What did you make her from that night on? Oh! That's right! Your pleasure slave, not your queen or your Lady, but a slave. You saw it as she had given herself to you, given her life to you and you could use her however and whenever you needed or wanted. When all she wanted was the love you origin
DOMINIC POVOnce I was back to my full strength, I traveled with Noah and Serenity into my kingdom. I left Noah and Serenity talking to the others while I went to find Seraphina. As I walked into our room, I heard what I guessed was one of the triplets, so I went into the adjoining room and checked on them. I don't even know their names or who is who. I pick up the girl that is whimpering and give her a cuddle. Once she has settled again, I place her back into her crib and quietly leave the room.I glance around our room, looking for Seraphina. When I feel a cool breeze come from the balcony doors. I slowly make my way over and that's when I see her. She is leaning against the rail watching the blood moon. I can feel the pull of the blood moon, but it is not as strong as it would normally be because Caleb is blocking me out. It allows me more control than I would normally have. I stand in the doorway, take a deep breath, ready for anything my lady deemed suitable, and
LILITHPOVI run back to the castle with Patrick and Ethan flanking me. When we made it to the edge, I found my dress and shifted. I exited the woods and waited for Patrick and Ethan to join me after shifting themselves. I laugh as they come stumbling out of the woods holding all but their basketball shorts, which, of course, they were wearing. As they reach me Patrick gasps"Your Highness, you are just too fast..."he gasps "Your eyes, your Highness, they are still gold??""Yes Patrick, Sera needs some time by herself, so you have to put up with me..."He smiles and bows, "Always a pleasure to be in your company Queen Lilith.""You guys can go now. I think some of the other staff are having a party celebrating the blood moon. You two should go join them. At least some of us should have some fun tonight."They bow at my dismissal and head back
SERAPHINA/LILITHPOVOnce Caleb disappeared, I spent that night in Sebastian and Teresa's room, and then I moved back into our room, settling the triplets into their room next door. The others are loving having babies around again. Scarlett is the most help. She is like a mini mother. She has made a strong bond with both Chrysta and Gabriela.I am missing him; I know he hurt me but there must be a reason behind it, a reason he did what he did, there is still so much about vampires that I do not know, I think I will go to the library and start reading up on what I should know and not just about being a mate to one but about being their queen as well. Something I actually should have done years ago. I am in Dominic's office at the moment going over a few last-minute requests from different staff concerning the blood moon tomorrow night, a few of the requests have been about whether we could hold another mixer ball like we did last time, I gu
