LEO POV
I make my way back to the new pack house and head straight into Angus's office with the book. "Alpha Angus!" I bow my head in respect and continue "I found the book and the information we needed unfortunately what it says we will not be able to do."I hand him the book and he looks at the pages I have marked, he growls loud and throws the book like I did but then he comes over to me and punches me in the jaw with a full Alpha punch. It put me on my ass, man they hurt he has such power."Just another thing you stuffed up when you claimed her.""Yes I know and I am sorry, but at the time it was the only way to make you actually have some fun with her. It was the only way to bring the real you back out, she was taming you, making you soft. What I did is what you taught me to do, you made me this way. I couldn't allow Seraphina to make you soft and then talk you into letting her go." I sit in the chair in front of him"I wonLEO POV"Mark me and all this will stop." I whisper into her ear, because even though we are forcing her to do it she must do it herself"NEVER! I would rather die!!!"As she denies me like she did with Angus, that's when I see the vamps mark and get such an evil idea, it didn't say anything in the book about what would happen if someone marked a mated female in the same spot as her true mate."I wonder Seraphina darling! What would happen if both of us marked you in your precious vamps mate mark?? How much pain would that cause you or him? There was nothing in the book to say what would happen. Shall we find out?"I lengthen my canines as I hear her whimper "No.. no.. no.. Please don't...""Are you going to mark us??""Never!!!" she struggles and tries to move away from me but she doesn't get far as I am still deep inside her."Then lets find out." I growl as I hit her again and again, I then lean in quickly while the vamps ma
NATHANIEL POVI hear that ear piercing scream again followed closely by another loud howl, I am so glad that my father is still passed out from the first one. My mother is one strong werewolf.I hear the lock and the door opened and from the hidden bunker emerges Angus and Leo. I hiss and growl as both my vampire and werewolf come together and agree that those two really need to die, but I know I am not enough yet to take on an Alpha and a Beta on my own.I watch helpless as they re-lock the bunker door strip their clothes and shift into their wolves. I accidentally break part of the branch I am sitting on with how hard I am clenching my little fist. That is the only thing I hate about being so mature in the mind but so young in the body.Unfortunately it wasn't until after Angus and Leo disappeared into the woods that Theodore and the guards arrived."Theodore! You just missed them." I say as I jump down from the tree making him jump back, which m
ANGUS POVI could smell him, I knew he was following me and I knew the moment he abandoned me, shifted and went back to the pack. I am not as stupid as he thinks of course I can smell the vamps and the king. I know she can never truly be mine anymore, she can never love me which is what I wanted, so I don't care anymore. I did a little more research in the back of the book under the heading for the other decent or species section for mates.That vamp king actually stole Seraphina's heart and not just her wolfs, the mate bond is more for the wolf but when two different species are involved you have to take into account the human half not just the wolf. If the human half loves the same mate as her wolf that is the definition of a true soul mate. The other thing was in the subheading for vampires, when they mate they form what is called a mate blood bond which is much stronger then a normal mate bond. Its where they exchange blood during the mating process. He has some of
DOMINIC POVI have to make her believe my loyalty and love is only hers so she can trust me enough to redo the mate bond and get rid of the claim marks to return Lilith to her. I have never done anything with or to Seraphina that she did not agree to fully and I don't intend to start now, so when she is ready I will talk to her and ask her what she is willing to do."My Lady Seraphina! I love you, I have never stopped loving you and I never will!" I whisper to her wanting her to realise what she is to me.As I whisper "My Lady I have missed you!" I move my other hand up to her cheek, I slide it down her neck and lightly over my mark. I smile as I see her shiver but there is no fear as I look into her eyes."Mummy? Daddy? Mummy? Daddy? Mummy? Daddy?" I hear soft calling voices from outside the room, I smile at Seraphina and say "It looks like there are a couple of others that would like to see their mother, are you up to it Sera?""Yes! I have misse
DOMINIC POV"Umm.. How long was I gone??" she whispersNow its my turn to hesitate, "Seraphina, you were gone for nearly a year and a half. I'm sorry we couldn't find you sooner."She pales and leans up against the counter I get up to my feet and was by her side within a second, I put my arm around her waist so she wouldn't fall to the floor."Dominic I have been gone for so long, how..""Shh.. Shh.. Its okay, they may be young but they understand." I says as I pull her into my chest she tenses just a little but then relaxes into my arms.I don't know why but she then pulls out of my arms and runs back upstairs to the bedroom. I turn to go after her when Nathaniel walks up to me and tugs on my hand, I bend down and face him as he says "Father let me go after mother please."I nod and allow him to follow Seraphina upstairs to the bedroom. I wait a little while and then follow him up the stairs as well, I get to the door and hear him ta
SERAPHINA POVThese weeks have great spending them with the kids, I have even started doing some of my queen duties again. I haven't been spending a lot of time with the males, Patrick and Ethan have not left my side even though they have been keeping their distance because when they get too close I start to panic. The only other male has been Phoenix and that is only because of Scarlett since he is her mate and he seem connected to her hip already.I spend most nights with Dominic but he sleeps on the sofa, I have noticed that the mate pull has started again. I want him to touch me and me to touch him but I'm scared that he wont want to, after all the things that they did to me. I'm sure I am no longer good enough for him.I was out in the back garden with Nathaniel and Scarlett, I spend as much time outside as I can after being locked in for so long. Patrick and Ethan were watching over us all again when Scarlett asked "Pat? Ethan? Can we play with your wolves
SERAPHINA POV He kisses me again pulling me close and slowly moving his hands down to the hem of my dress, as he lifts my dress over my head he steps back and turns on the shower. He moves to the side so I can get under the water while he undresses and then joins me under the water. Dominic picks up the shampoo and gently rubs it into my hair, he does this a couple of times until all the mud and dirt are out. He then picks up the shower sponge, puts some his shower gel on it and then used it to wash the rest of my body starting at my neck and finishing at my feet. It was so nice he followed the path of the sponge with his hand spreading sparks all over me, once I was clean I made him kneel down so I could wash the mud and dirt out of his hair. When his hair was clean he stood back up and gave me the shower sponge with some more of his shower gel on it. I started at his neck and worked my way down his body, doing what he did to me by running the sponge over the skin and then
SERAPHINA POVI woke up feeling like I had been hit by a truck, I remember some of last night. I remember all the pleasure Caleb was giving me, he didn't stop every time he built the pleasure up he would make me shattered around him. Then he would do it again even before I had come down from the last one, he did this many times and then. I remember the pain."CALEB!!!" I yell as I realise what he did"Yes My Lady!"I sit up, wince and watch as he comes back into the bedroom from the bathroom with a small smirk on his face. "You still did it last night didn't you?""Do what My Lady?""Don't play dumb Caleb, you know exactly what I am talking about.""Okay! Yes I did. Please don't hate me"he says as he makes his way over to the bed and sits down next to me."I don't hate you Caleb. Other then the throbbing ache in the top of my breast, I don't remember much
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
