SKYLAR
As our bodies finally start to calm, I remove my fangs and slide my tongue over the skin, healing it. Julian soon follows as he does the same before pulling back and sliding his hand on my cheek once more and saying.
“You are my life, Skylar. Nothing is more important to me than you. I love you.”
For the first time, I feel the truth in his words as he opens up his mind and floods me with every emotion he is feeling; I smile with tears in my eyes as Iris purrs in my head and she makes him jump and his eyes go wide as her tail slips out and wraps around him, pulling us even tighter against him. I lean next to his ear and whisper.
“Iris is happy, content and feels safe…”
“Iris?”
“Yeah, that’s her name. The other girl or whatever she is in here with me now…” I tap my temple gently.
“Did this Iris tell you what you now are?”
“She said I wasn’t human anymore…”
Julian removes his hand from my cheek so that
ROMEO I feel starved as I try to move my body, my arms, and my legs, but nothing moves. I force open my eyes and look around. I am not surprised when I see both Kolby and Vlad standing over me with smirks on their faces. Ajax steps up and wraps something around my neck, saying, “Just a precaution. Sir.” I then hiss as I hold in the scream at the feel of the needle sliding into the skin on my neck and that familiar burning slides into my system and then spreads around my body. Kolby adds more and more until my body seizes and I pass out. The next time I wake, Morrisa seems to have me on her metal table once more. I watch as she cuts into my skin and chuckles as she tries to fight the healing in my body. I then hear the door open and see Kolby step up next to her with the standard needle in his hand. He steps that little closer as he speaks to Morrisa. “Have you made any progress yet?” “Not really. It is proving elusive. I can't seem to
ROMEO Before I can decide anything, the compulsion running through me takes hold and takes over. With a new goal embedded in my mind, I make my way silently through the corridors, making my way toward the human with the surface passkey. I come up behind the first human. I wrap one arm around his chest, pinning his arms while slipping my hand over his mouth and pulling his head to the side. My fangs lengthen, and I sink them into his neck. I drink greedily my bloodthirst surfacing, only as soon as I swallow the first mouthful of blood, I pull my fangs out and shove the human away and into the wall, knocking him out as I quickly wrap my hands around my throat as it burns. I try to take breath after breath, but the burning intensifies, making it even harder to breathe. I collapse to my knees, throwing out one hand to catch myself from hitting the floor. I cough and cough as my body tries to expel the blood. However, due to bloodlust, it was absorbed immediately. As his blood continue
SKYLAR Julian made a few phone calls, and it wasn’t long before someone he seemed to know turned up to drive my Berkeley back to the castle while Julian took me back on his bike. It surprised me at how good it felt to be on the bike, at how free it made me feel. Even though I had been travelling for weeks, I hadn't really realised that I had stayed so close to the castle and to Julian. It only took us a couple of days to return on the bike. Julian also made sure to test me and Iris on controlling our pheromones while in the company of others in different places and slightly different situations on the trip. Unfortunately, it is going to take just that little longer for me to totally have it under control, as it seems to be connected to both hunger and my emotions. If my emotions are high, my pheromones slip just a little more, and Julian needs to give me a little reminder. Julian pulls up in front of the castle and as I climb and take off my helmet, I look around, still in awe of t

Victoria is a natural fighter and is training to be Prince Nathaniel's Head Warrior and personal protection.

JULIAN POV“Julian?? Julian?? Are you awake and up yet?”I stretch and answer “Yes Mother, I am”“Stop lying and get out of bed, I need your help to get everything ready and out to the field for the picnic...” “Okay mother, be right there!...”I get out of bed as I hear her walk away from my door, calling to my brothers and sisters to get out of bed, too. I head into my bathroom for a quick shower. Once I’m finished, I get dressed and then head out to help Mother with whatever she requires. I ended up carrying some of the baskets containing the picnic food in them, but luckily, it wasn’t just me.“Hey Nat, Ri, you both helping as well?”“Yeah Jules, hey happy birthday! Did you manage to have some fun at Charlotte’s birthday celebration?”“Yeah, Nat, I did, but nothing that lasted more than the night, though.” I smile as he does.As Victoria, Violet, Eli, Chrysta, Chase, Gabriela, Katrina, Whitney, Seth, Kathleen, Victor, Sebastian, Teresa, Theodore, Tina, Uncle Dominic, Mother and Fat
VICTORIA POVI don’t sleep well as every time I close my eyes and get anywhere near falling asleep; I see all those rogues run out onto the field. Now I am an exceptional fighter. It is one of the benefits of being a princess but with not being anywhere near taking over the throne, as that goes to uncle Dominic’s children before me or any of my brothers and sisters.I have been able to concentrate on my fighting and with all my training, Theodore has said that as long as I keep up with the progress I am making, there is no reason why I can’t take over his place as Head Warrior. I feel bad for him. He managed to find his true mate, but because of events in her past, she is unable to give him a son or daughter to take his place; it is why he has been training me so hard, not that I complain as I love what I do.I give up trying to sleep; I climb out of bed, head into my bathroom and have a long hot shower, hoping that will help, but it doesn’t. So I head down to the training field, hopi
NATHANIEL / HUNTER POVOnce we meet up with Father and Alpha Stefan, we start on our way in the direction of the explosion until Father stops abruptly, getting that faraway look we all get when talking to someone via a bond link; he makes us all jump as he hisses low and the power aurora around him changes. I watch as my father’s vampire Caleb takes control, letting out some of his Royal power. It is such a beautiful colour as it expands out and away from him. He then takes off in the opposite direction to where we were originally going. I look over at Uncle Noah as he lets out a short laugh. “Someone has gotten themselves into a lot of trouble!!" “Why?” Alpha Stefan looks at us, really confused. “That was not King Dominic anymore... That was the true Vampire King Dominic’s vampire Caleb! He is and has always been one of the deadliest vampires that have walked this earth. Now, since Queen Seraphina came on the scene, he has calmed down, but he was never completely gone. I pity the

SKYLARIris doesn’t answer me but nods her head in understanding. I then feel that sting of fangs and a much smaller amount of liquid in my mouth. I dart my tongue out once more, swiping it over the source of the liquid, and let out a low moan.I feel sparks spread as fingers skim the side of my face. I then hear his soft raspy and sexy voice as he whispers,“I love you, Skylar.”Tears sting my eyes as I slowly open them and look into his. They look sad but brighten as a smile slowly forms on his lips and his body seems to shake. He then whispers,“I’m sorry…”He leans closer and presses his lips to mine in a soft, gentle kiss. I close my eyes, drowning in his kiss. Just as he pulls back and looks into my eyes, I remember the girl from the celebration. I struggle a little and try to move from underneath him. He moves slightly, however, instead of letting me move, he pins me to the bed as he says,
JULIANJust as he is about to take a swig of the big pint of beer his friends had placed in front of him, I cover it with my hand and lean in close and with a slight command embedded in my tone; I whisper into his ear.“Come with me. I want to show you something.”I don’t miss the slight red tinge that goes to his cheeks. He then gets to his feet and with me standing at his side, we make our way away from the table and his friends. I place my hand at the lower of his back and lead him up a flight of steps, sending out my senses and making sure that there is no one around or within the room next to us.I open the door and show him in. He then surprises me as I shut the door, turning me around and smashing his lips to mine. I allow him this and then turn us around so that it is him against the door, not me. I then skim light kisses down his neck as I feel my fangs tingle and lengthen.Being a little unfair, I allowed Conner to
JULIANHowever, as soon as I remove them, Skylar’s body seizes once more, tensing and making her back arch off the bed only as far as my body over hers would allow. When her body settles to the bed once more, tears sting my eyes as she seems to send a pulse along our connection and her life tether to me seems to grow just a little.I do this again and again. Every time I feel that she needs it and every time I do it, her tether and connection seem to get stronger and she seems to come a little more back to me. After what seems to be an endless amount of time, there is a knock on the door. I look up and over at the door. I send my senses out and let out a small sigh as I say,“Come in Griffin.”Griffin opens the door and enters the room, closing the door behind him. He swipes out his hand and walks over without getting too close, making the room smell clean and fresh as he says,“Your venom and blood are doing what it's
JULIAN I could feel my connection to Skylar fading, so I didn’t need Savannah’s words of hurry to let me know that I didn’t have much time. I check the location that Savannah sent through to me from her tracking spell, quickly start my bike and speed off down the highway. It doesn’t take me long to get to the small town marked as the location. I slide my bike to a stop when I pull into what looks like the main street and there are 6 different motels. I look around me and a shiver of fear runs through me at which one she is in. I get off my bike and turn in a circle, looking at all the motels; I pull out my phone and check it again. Only the tracking spell didn’t pinpoint the exact motel she was staying in and the longer I was standing there, the more I could feel her connection fading. I am surprised when I feel my head fill with calm as I hear his voice in my head, “Julian. Take a deep breath. As in training, breathe and focus.” I do as he says. I close my eyes and take a deep c
