Hell, during my travels as a teenager, I had been exploring one of the fallen cities the humans used to rule and came across one of their bleeder centers. There were piles of bones in the basement of the large office building, and every room was filled with chains and skeletons. There had to have b
Still, I couldn't stop from looking around the tree once more to see if Charlotte was with him. The idea of her being out here when the area hadn't been cleared didn't sit well with me. There could be more vampires, and while there were more than enough guards to protect her, it was an unnecessary r
Charlie's P.O.V.As soon as Killian returned, I was livid. I could smell the cold night air on his suit and wished I could step outside too. A deep, calming breath before dealing with him would have prevented this conversation from being fueled by my emotions. I had never been more furious in my li
"She doesn't know about what happened to our parents. She didn't even know mother was still alive until this afternoon. I have told Natalie several times that she is my mate. What she chose to infer from that information is on her."I swallowed hard, taking a sip of my wine. Visiting my mother had a
As I approached the inn, I felt my beast stir, and the subtle scent of the breeze made me pause. I knew that scent, and my heart clenched in my chest. It had to have been the stress of the evening. I knew Damien wouldn't have come here. He would still be with his sleuth, or maybe he was already on
Charlie's P.O.V.I couldn't wait until tomorrow. If Damien had run for a day and a half for me, I could venture out a mile or two for him. Even with the report of a deceased vampire found outside the wall, the risk of me crossing one out there would be slim to none. The guard would be on high alert
Sparks danced over my body, and a laugh of surprise left my lips. I had smelled him for myself. Even with Barley telling me that Damien had come after me, a small part of me hadn't fully believed it. The only people who had ever chased after me were my nannies, and that was because they had been get
I nodded. I knew it all too well. There was nothing about that world that made me happy either, but it was my duty to step up should anything happen.Still, his happiness was important to me, and I had to consider how I would live if, after I marked him, I had to let him go so he could be happy or i

That was fine by me.I didn't want her anywhere near him either.I let out a low chuckle, feeling proud of the spot I had selected for this, as the sound echoed off the rock wall on one side and bounced between the trees on the other.Xander's eyes widened, and he began to pull harder. I had left th
Damien's P.O.V. - Seven months laterIt was almost too easy.He was nervous, his head turning back and forth as he scanned the area, but he wouldn't see me. Not until I wanted him to, at least.He knew I was out here, and if he were smart, he would know what was coming.I didn't have much time as Ch
I knew he had a lot of work to do after the war, and the fact that he took time out of his schedule to come here today meant the world to me. "There is nowhere else that I should be today." He smiled, and I nodded as I glanced back at Natalie. She was looking at her mate with all the love in the wo
Charlie's P.O.V. I hadn't been expecting it to happen so soon. I wanted it to, but Elder Artis and Damien managed to have the ceremony prepared in three weeks, just in time for the full moon. My hands shook as I stood in Eden's den. The short white dress I wore had been borrowed from Olli and mad
Eden went inside as Damien and Olli fawned over the new addition to their sleuth, and I tensed as I noticed Elder Artis approaching. I hadn't seen her with the others who had shown up to welcome us, and I wondered if we were about to have a repeat of my first visit here.Damien didn't look up as his
Charlie's P.O.V.Even though I was walking into the den of angry bears, who had wanted nothing to do with me previously, the scent of Damien's sleuth was comforting. It wasn't my home, but he was, and I loved his scent.I wasn't sure what I had been expecting, but to see everyone outside with Eden W
All of the men were present and solemn. "What happened?" I hesitated, letting out a deep breath when Marlene pushed through the swinging kitchen door with a tray of drinks, smiling at me warmly like everything was right in the world. Everyone looked healthy but unhappy as she passed out the mugs o
