SERAPHINA POV
I hear Lucas open the door and close it again before walking up behind me; he holds the clothes in his hand out in front of me. I take them slowly but once I have a hold of them he wraps his arms around me and buries his nose into my neck, taking a deep breath; I tense, waiting for him to do more like Leo would have done, but he does no more than just breathe in my scent. After a couple more deep breaths, he lets me go and I run into the bathroom, shutting the door behind me.I put on the shirt and pants; they are a little big but that was fine. I did what I could with my hair and then went back into the bedroom to find Lucas gone. I walk over to the door and have a listen. I hear a faint scream and know exactly where he went. So really, he is no better than Leo unless he lets Leo have control back, which means I need to be on guard. I move away from the door and back to the window. It only opens a little bit, allowing a small amount of fresh airSERAPHINA POVHe surprises me by picking me up and carrying me out of the house. Once we are outside, we are on the move. I don't know what direction we went in or how long we were traveling but after a while, we stopped, he offered me a drink which he wouldn't let me refuse so I guess it had a little more of that drug in it and then we were on our way again. I don't know how long we traveled. It might have been a couple of days when we got to what felt like another house. Lucas took me up some stairs and put me down on a bed. I felt him tie the other end of the cord to the bed and then he slowly removed the scarf.I blink a few times, trying to get my eyes to adjust. I then look at him and hold up my wrists just a little, but he shakes his head. "Sorry again darling, until I can make this room inescapable I will have to leave the cord where it is because like you darling, I do not trust you." I smile, knowing he is right. He leaves me tied t
DOMINIC POVIt's been a week. I felt the first night she was there, and I knew it wasn't Leo that raped her. Even though he loves pain, this was different. Seraphina was scared, but it was a different fear. I have a feeling it was that new big guy that Leo had with him at the field. I tried to link with her that night, but the pain and fear were too much and she couldn't hear me. I needed to apologize. I will never forget the look of betrayal on her face when she realized we had set a trap and left her out of the planning. I have tried again since and I think Sebastian has as well but it is like the last time we can feel the connection thereto her but can't get through, he must be using that drug again. Even Nathaniel, when he decided to speak to me again, is having trouble tracking her, because of the drug he says it shows itself and then disappears again even the strong connection I have with her isn't working properly but that might not just be the drug he is giving her
LEO/LUCASPOVI lock the door to Seraphina's room and headed to the doctor's office. I knock on the door and hear a soft "Come in."I open the door, walk-in, and close it behind me. "Morning Doc, how's Seraphina doing?""Morning! I put a bag of new clothes on the desk in your office for Seraphina this morning, thinking she will probably need a change by now. I explained to you last night that she was healed, that I had to sedate her so I could do my exam, and that you could go ahead and have the fun you want to with her. I just had to run a couple of tests on the blood sample I took, just to make sure my calculations for her cycle were correct and that she didn't end up pregnant from what Mario did."'Have the blood tests come back yet?""They just c
SERAPHINA POVStanding at the window, I allow a few tears to escape as I watch the rogues training in the yard. I don't know if it is the training or the outside that I miss more. I hear Lucas move. I'm not sure if he got up from the bed or just moved where he was sitting, but I tense, anyway. I hold myself very still, just waiting to see what he will do.He doesn't seem to approach me and I relax just a little and focus outside again, but this time I don't see the rogues training I see my family, I see Dominic, Sebastian, Theodore, and Zachary playing chasey with Nathaniel who's carrying Violet, Charlotte, Julian who has Eli on his back, Victoria and Riley. I see Phoenix with Scarlett and Josephine playing with Katrina, Whitney, and Seth. The only one missing is me, which brings fresh tears to my eyes. I think I have missed more of my children's lives because of my past than they have lived.When I start to think about the fact that I miss Violet and Eli's firs
LEO/LUCASPOVI wake up holding My Darling Seraphina tightly to me. Yesterday was just wonderful. I was hoping she would do something that would make me teach her a lesson and she didn't disappoint. She actually caught me off guard, which is why she got as far away from me as she did. She was actually better than I remembered. Leo even joined me for a while, which is how we lasted so long. I think I might have even taught Leo a few things, like how to get a female to do things and scream without actually hitting or hurting them.My Darling may not realize it yet but we will have more days like yesterday in the coming weeks so that she will end up carrying our pup. Unfortunately, that vamp and her friends are getting close again, so we are going to have to move. I have a lot of places I can take the pack, and over the next few weeks, I will do just that. I will keep us moving and while I do that Leo and I can work on distracting Ser
SEBASTIAN POVI don't like that Seraphina agreed to give herself to him willingly. I am not worth that sacrifice. She offers me her wrist. I take it and drink at her insistence. Her taste is divine. I can see why Dominic always likes to drink from her. I force myself to stop and swipe my tongue over her skin. After our short conversation, I watch as Seraphina walks over to the window.While Seraphina is looking out the window, Leo re-enters the room and I watch as he walks up to her and wraps his arms around her. I say in a rough voice, "Don't touch her!"He replies, "It's all part of the deal, mate. She agreed to give herself to me willingly, and that means I can touch her whenever I like." I get up off the bed just as two more rogues come into the room and grab my arms and force me to my knees so all I can do is watch.He turns them so they are now facing me. "You want me to stop this?" he runs his hands
DOMINIC POV"No, what I want and need to say to my lady is for me to say directly to her."I owe My Lady an apology but I need to give her that apology to her in person, that is, if she will even see me. I will never forget the look of betrayal on her face that day, and that was nearly two weeks ago.Thanks to Sebastian we now know where they are, unfortunately, he let slip that we were coming so they will now not be there when we get there but we should only be about one or two days behind I must let Noah know so he can join us. I pull out my phone."Dominic? What can I do for you?""Have you heard from your informant yet?""Yeah, he just said something about a couple of the scouts who had caught a vamp that was following them. Do you know anything about this?""No, I didn't until after it was done. Sebastian took it upon himself to follow some rogues and got caught in the process. I don't know if getting caught was
SERAPHINA POVIt didn't take us long to get to the abandoned house, everyone set up for the cooking of food and the mats for those that didn't get one of the rooms, I was watching how the rogues all worked together making sure just like a proper pack that everything ran smoothly. I let out a small scream when Lucas grabs me and throws me over his shoulder. He laughs as he carries me up the stairs and into one of the rooms. He drops me onto the bed and I sneeze a few times from all the dust that I breathe in; he walks back over to the door and shuts it. As he turns back to me, he has a really evil smirk on his lips and I just know I am now dealing with Leo.I scramble up the bed to get away from him as he walks slowly closer. Once he reaches the bed, he pulls the covers off, getting rid of the dust. He reaches over the bed and grabs my ankle, pulling me towards him. I am not letting him touch me. I will let Lucas to a point, but I am not allowing Leo to get his
