SERAPHINA POV

I wake up and feel like I have been asleep for a week. I go to stretch and that is when I notice the arms that are wrapped tightly around me from behind. I panic and tense. I get ready to fight until one of the arms moves and touches my skin directly. I relax completely as I feel sparks flow out from where his arm lays. I smile to myself and turn so I am facing him. I move my hand up his chest, over his shirt, and up to his face. I softly run my fingers over his skin, unbelieving that he is the one actually holding me.

"That is tickling my cheek. My Lady." he smiles and slowly opens his eyes.

"I'm sorry, My King, are you really here, or am I dreaming?"

"I am no dream My Lady, I would like to prove it, but I don't want to scare you either."

"Dominic, I am sorry, I couldn't stop him."

"Shh.. it is okay, you are my little fighter and I know you have been fighting him the whole time, it is me that should be

    *FLASHBACK*I was meeting my friends at the pub. We had all just passed our final exams to become doctors. We were all tired, but we also wanted to celebrate. I was running late like usual and got to the pub after my friends had already had a couple of rounds, so they made me drink at least two drinks quickly to catch up. Now I don't normally drink, so it didn't take long for just those two drinks to go to my head. I let my hair down for the first time since starting my quest to become a doctor.Once I relaxed, Emily came over to me and draped her arm around my shoulders, saying, "Come on, Terra, come dance with me!?!""I can't dance.." I laugh and shake my head at her"So! Neither can they.." she says, pointing to two guys on the dance floor."Okay, I'm sure we could do better than them.." we laugh as we walk onto the dance floor and start to dance.The night was full of fun and laughter, at some point in

    *FLASHBACK CONT'*He keeps me pinned to the wall but makes a little room between his body and mine. He lengthens his claws and runs them through my shirt and my pants. I start to struggle again as he now runs his hand along my bare skin. He lets me go and slaps me hard. I end up on the floor. Leo reaches down and grabs me by the arm, pulls me up to him, and then throws me on the bed. He removes his shirt and pants. I see this and panic again as terror runs through me. I scramble to the other side of the bed, jump to my feet, and run to the door. I try the handle, but it won't open. Leo laughs from behind me. "There is no way out, my dear"He grabs me again and takes me back to the bed, as soon as he puts me down I try to move away from him but this time he follows me onto the bed, sitting on my thighs not allowing me to move, he grabs my wrists again and forces them above my head. In this position, I can't move my head, so he t

    TERESA POVAs I finished reliving that part of my life I curled into Sebastian's chest and tried to cover up my sobs."Terra, I'm so sorry, I should have gone with you...""It's okay Em, I used to think that too, that if someone had come with me he wouldn't have gotten me to go out there with him but I worked out later that it wouldn't have mattered, he had chosen me and if he didn't get me that night, he would have gotten to me on another." I move my head just a fraction to talk to her."Still I'm sorry.""You could use some more rest, my sweetheart, reliving something as terrifying as that can take a lot out of you." he whispers to me and then faces Emily "I'm going to take her up to one of the rooms to get some rest before we start our way home."Sebastian gets up with me in his arms and makes his way to one of the upstairs bedrooms.SEBASTIAN POVBy the time Teresa had finished telling us how she

    DOMINIC POVWe end up spending a few days at this abandoned packhouse while Sebastian, Teresa, and Seraphina get their strength back and because I can't seem to satisfy this deep need to be inside Seraphina whenever possible. Without Leo reinforcing the block with the drug he was giving Seraphina, our mind-link returned, as did her link to the others. On the second day we stayed here both Seraphina and Teresa shifted into their wolves, as Teresa hasn't been able to do that for over a year and it's been nearly four weeks for Seraphina and she knows that with being pregnant she only has a limited amount of time where she can shift safely, Seraphina's shift is always something beautiful to watch, I saw Emily join them at one stage as well. They ran around on the grass that surrounded the house but always stayed in view of one of us males.We start our way back and about half a day's trek into the journey, Teresa screams as she stumbles over one of the guards that

We keep our females close as we make our way back to the abandoned house. We have decided to rest there for the day and then continue on our way. The quicker we get home, the better as far as I am concerned.We don't come across any trouble as we make our way to the house, once we reach the house we escort the females to a room upstairs so they can get some rest and then we head down the hall just a little further and enter the office, so we could look over the maps of the area and maybe find a quicker way home. As we are discussing this, we all hear a muffled scream. I know it's not Teresa, as she has already fallen asleep.We all run out of the office and towards the room the females are in. Dominic tries the handle and finds it locked, which is stra

It seems to be muffled, so it is surprising when Leo mind-links me "Your Highness Sir??""Yes, Leo, we are here with you. We are just outside the door. What's the situation?""I'm sorry sir, I don't know what to do? My mate is hurt laying against the wall but my queen is being held on the bed with claws at her throat by Leo! Sir, he is raping her in front of me. It is subtle, but I can tell. Sir, he has told me to choose between my mate and my queen!"I hiss low at the information that Leo is once again violating my lady and I can't do anything to stop him. I have fa

His voice is raspy as he says "Are you okay, my lady?""I feel like I was hit by a train. My body and head hurt. What happened?" I turn over to face him."Don't move too much my lady, your body will be sore for a few hours because Leo saved you by using his vampire speed and that puts a lot of pressure on a body that is not used to it." he moves so he is propped up by his elbow looking down at me,"I must apologize and thank you, your head hurts because Caleb drank a little too much from you, causing you to pass out but if you hadn't willingly allowed Caleb to drink as much as he needed then I wouldn't be here and Caleb would have gone rogue."I look at him with concern, "What??

She is trying, but can only lend me so much strength without killing herself. After some time fighting, I manage to take a deep breath and finally slowly open my eyes. I start to move when I hear a soft, familiar voice."Hey Sleepyhead, welcome back! You will feel really sluggish for a few hours to come, but it will pass..""What happened?" I rasp out of my dry throat, looking up at Seraphina."What do you remember?" she asks, handing me a large glass of waterI drink it in one gulp, with my throat now wet I can answer her, "I remember getting here, the males saying we should stay in the room and get some rest and that they would be in the office down the hall and to call if we needed anything.

    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?"

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,

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

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.
