SCARLETT POV
I 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 hAUTHOR'S NOTE Thank you for reading. I hope you enjoyed it. This story has come to its end for now!!

He was walking along the dark and empty street, looking for some sort of prey. With all the attacks happening lately there wasn't many people out after dark. He doesn't go out much as its dangerous for him to be out on his own, he has enemies everywhere. Covered in a long black hooded cape he moves to the shadows. He wasn't hungry and he wasn't looking for a fight he was trying to find... Well he didn't know, he was drawn out night after night for the last two weeks.

He runs everything with an iron fist and doesn't tolerate disobedience or failure. He is Dominic Issac King and The King of the Vampires. She was alone, running for her life, Hiding whenever and where ever she can. She had people of all sorts chasing her for different reasons and she didn't even know what all those reasons were.
SERAPHINA POVHi, let me introduce myself my name is Seraphina Amara Wolfe or Sera for short, I have just turned 18 and I am a werewolf. I have fire red hair, blue eyes that turn gold when my wolf Lilith come to the front. I'm not very tall at around 5'2, I am quite slim as I have been living on the run since I was 3 and haven't been getting enough food, I find just enough to survive if that's what life is. I can't tell you anything about my parents or what pack I was from, as I have no memory of them. I lived with a human family for a little while when I was 8 but once I shifted at 10 which hurt, they got scared and threw me out, I was just lucky they didn't kill me which I hear they do to my kind. My wolf is Lilith her fur is the same fire red as my hair and her eyes are gold. She is a little small for a wolf but that normally gives us an advantage. I have learnt not to spend too much time in one place because as soon as I start to get comfortable the hu
DOMINIC POVIts been 3 days, I ended up getting the clan doctor to have a look at yesterday as she didn't seem to be getting any better. I knew that rogue had take some of her blood, I just didn't realise exactly how much. The doc put her on a drip and said she was actually very close to death. I could give her my blood but the doc and I don't know what that will do to her, so I just have to wait and let the drip do its work.I've have done a lot of reading these past few days, there is a few references towards mates in the very old books but nothing concrete. I wish I could talk to my parents about it as they were mates. From what I've found there is more about mates in the werewolf history then in the vampire history, a wolf can smell their mate and tell from little electric sparks that results from them touching. A vampire on the other hand takes a little longer, the mate must thaw their frozen heart before the mate bond will take affect. See a lot of vampir
SERAPHINA'S POVI turned to run but had both of them in front of me within a second, I stepped back slowly, fear snaking its way down my spine. I can't fight them and Lilith is just too weak to give me any help, I need more rest and maybe some decent food but I am in dangerous territory. My fear is now slowly changing to pure terror, I have no where to go and no way out, my back hits the wall behind me. I slide down the wall and whisper "Please! Please! Don't hurt me, I didn't mean to intrude, Please let me go." tears are now falling down my cheeks and I hide my face to try and hide my weakness."Hey! Hey! Its okay, we wont hurt you." the female voice said as she slowly got closerShe carefully put her fingers under my chin and makes me look up at her, she gasps"Seraphina?""Amilia???" I sob"What are you doing here?""I don't know! All I remember is being attacked by a vampire, then saved by a mystery g
DOMINIC POVIts been 2 weeks since I've been here, I have fixed he rogue problem and helped a couple of the other clans in the area with some different training techniques so they could stay on top of the rogues. The other matter well that is taking a lot longer to sort out, originally it was just a simple land expansion but now I'm not so sure. Phoenix is doing his best to keep everyone calm but I'm finding the longer I am away from my mystery woman the more agitated I am getting and it really doesn't make sense.I can't allow anyone to know about her yet, if my enemies found out about any sort of weakness in me or my kingdom they would deferentially take advantage of it. I don't even know what she is to me yet Caleb still wont tell me anything, he says I must work it out for myself otherwise the outcome will not be by choice. Whatever that means.I have been keeping in touch with Sebastian to make sure everything is running smoothly at home and to keep updated
SERAPHINA POVI wake up the next day, I can't really tell if its morning, afternoon or evening as the curtains are pulled closed, I don't remember closing them as I like to look outside at the woods. I go to get out of bed and that is when I realise that there is an arm wrapped around my waist. I stop moving as the arm pulls me closer and holds me tighter, I turn my head just a little and see the most handsome man I have ever laid my eyes on. Lilith is doing something in the way of a howl, a growl and a purr, not that I knew wolves could purr, at the fact a man is holding us without our permission. I slowly and carefully turn over, trying not to wake him so I can get a better look. This guy had gorgeous black hair, a strong jaw and really kissable lips Huh? I don't know where that came from. I look back up to his eyes that are now open and get slightly lost in the beautiful green. He smile at me and in a very husky, very sexy voice says "Good evening! How did you sleep my lad
DOMINIC POVI walk down the stairs to the kitchen and listen to the exchange between Sebastian and Seraphina, I smile as I hear her say "Even with the surprise I woke up to"Sebastian seemed confused when he replied "Surprise? What surprise?""That surprise would be me!" I laugh as I enter the kitchen"Sir! Sorry sir, I didn't know you were back yet! Your highness!" Sebastian coughs as he gets off the stool and bows to me. I keep telling him he is a friend and does not need to be so formal all the time but he insists.I shake my head at him still having that small smile on my face when I look up at Seraphina, she had a look of confusing on her face and then she went pale and started to fall. This time I moved quickly not Caleb so I could catch her. I picked her up bridle style and moved her into the sitting room, laying her on one of the sofas. Again with the warmth in the heart, I am seriously starting to think that maybe just maybe she might be m
SERAPHINA POVIts been 2 weeks since they convinced me to come back and stay at the castle, its been really good. The guys have kept to their word and have been rotating training with me and I'm happy to say that I have put all three of them on their asses a few times. They have even done a few training sessions with more then one of them, but I must say the best sessions are the ones I have with Dominic. We have so much fun and still I manage to learn more with each encounter. We have even had a few training sessions with me in wolf form, Lilith loves it we do a little training but then end up playing tag. Its scary but I think I'm loosing my heart to the vampire king, Lilith is already whipped. I just don't know if he might feel even just a little of the same.I'm out in the garden doing some strengthening moves that they taught me, when Dominic walks out door."Hi Dom! Was there something that you needed?" I stopped and looked at him. Due to their training I

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
