~Godfrey’s Point of View~I was just informed by Sunny’s security detail about a witch tailing her. What the devil? I doubled her security, adding in a witch. Sunny sketched a picture of the woman and we began circulating it. I was still in South America and needed to finish my work so I demanded she be confined to the grounds.I also went ahead and commissioned a witch to check in on Fiona, just to make sure that stupid hag wasn’t up to something. She was just a human now but you could never trust a witch, especially one with a grudge.If there was even the remote chance Fiona was up to something, I’d send Dina personally to squash her and anyone helping her.“How close are you to wrapping things up River, I want to head back tonight,” I said, popping my head into the sitting room he’d commandeered. “I’ve been struggling to find the girl’s mother, she is the last one to interview other than Vincent,” he said, moving around some papers.“Hmm, so if we forgo her for now and let the Que
~Sunny’s Point of View~I was in a deep sleep but I knew I was tossing and turning. Stuck seeing that damn witch’s face. Did she do something to me? What did she want?I could have sworn I felt a presence behind me. But I couldn’t wake up. Get away, get away! Run, damn it run! But I couldn't, something was holding me.“Shhh, shhh sweet girl it’s me, you’re safe,” I heard, just as my eyes flashed open.I blew out a huge gulp of air and nearly choked. My heart was racing, I was sweating. I turned into Godfrey and relaxed right away. He stroked my hair and held me tight until my heartbeat leveled. “There there, what was all that,” he finally said.I pulled back to meet his eyes, they looked full of concern. I felt so exposed, I truly lived such a sheltered and carefree life. Was that all catching up with me?“That witch … I am seeing her in my dreams, do you think Angel could like give me a witch physical, see if she did something to me, to my mind,” I said, wondering if that was a thing
~Godfrey’s Point of View~“It’s a watching spell. Whoever cast it is watching her emotions, her feelings. My uncle Ben would have to break it, I hate to say it is beyond my capabilities,” Angel said, frowning.All witches had different abilities, and Angel’s was more of the earth and the elements. I tapped my finger over my lips. Sunny was in the next room, not privy to our conversation.“They are infiltrating her dreams,” I whispered, angry.“Yes, they let her know they are watching, haunting her. This is a very powerful witch, or … several maybe. We’ll send a witch investigator out to poke around the local covens,” Angel said.“That will draw attention,” I quickly replied, shaking my head.“Maybe. There have been a few disappearances over the last couple years, we have suspected that some are forming a new coven, off the grid but I haven’t had enough to bring to the council for a proper investigation. Enough to prove the missing ones didn’t just run off or get caught by some animal.
~Godfrey’s Point of View~ “Sunny, darling, can you hear me,” I said, close to shaking. I stroked her beautiful face, I held her tenderly. I had ten pairs of eyes staring at me, seeing me at my absolutely worst. I didn’t give a damn if I was showing weakness. I felt … broken. Lost. There was no way in hell I could lose my sunshine. I had the best witches and warlocks from every realm trying to break Sunny’s spell for the past week, to no avail. She wouldn’t wake up, yet her heart remained steady. I tried to give her a bit of my blood but she convulsed, foaming at the mouth and looking like she was possessed. It was hours before she fully calmed down. Doing that again is simply not an option no matter how much my mind tries to tell me to do it. I had a moment of desperation and thought about trying to turn her but of course that was out of the question. I knew in my bones Sunny didn’t want to be a vampire and I would never be selfish in that way. Plus I'd have to deal with the wrath
~Sunny’s Point of View~Darkness, warmth. Voices, so many smells. I wanted to see, but I couldn’t. Why couldn’t I see? I focused on it, with all I had. I didn’t like the darkness, especially when I knew there was something … beyond it. I knew there had to be.Light! Finally! I cautiously lifted my eyes open a bit further until I could see! What did I see? There was a woman sleeping in a chair, a man sleeping in another chair. There was a flash and in the time it took me to blink there was another man in front of me. No! He was something scary, he would hurt me!“Nooooo GET AWAY FROM ME!” I tried to move away from him and I rolled right off the bed, but I didn’t hit the floor. I looked up to see the terrifying man holding me.“NOOO! NO LET ME GO NOOOO!”I had to get away from him, he would hurt me! I kicked at him with all I had but it was pointless.“Shhh, shh my sweet girl I would never hurt you,” he said, trying to lean toward me.“NO NO NO!”I thrashed myself at him, trying to scra
~Tyson’s Point of View~ I couldn’t fuck this up. Godfrey was depending on me, the Blacks were depending on me. My whole life over these last two years had been about trying to right my wrongs. Yeah I felt like I still had to right some of my dad’s wrongs too but I knew I would never come close to that. Susie was to be my pretend mate, so we practiced a bit, trying to look like we were in love. We tried to act comfortable around each other, the way two people would if they’d been intimate. She actually offered to sleep with me, not in a weird way just matter of fact. I couldn’t do that though. We did kiss however and it was pretty wild, so the sex would likely be insane. I had been saving myself for Lilly all those years, which no one knew. I mean yeah I’d have she-wolves throwing themselves at me all the time just because I was the Alpha’s son, but they didn’t mean anything to me. I wanted my first time to be for my mate and that meant something to me. Now that I had waited this lo
~Godfrey’s Point of View~One of the little demon Shadows made contact with Susie last night, she confirmed the pack witch was one that had been in my quarters when Sunny was attacked. But, she confirmed that she had absolutely no memory of it. That seemed to be a wasted effort, except that she provided some drawings of witches that were embedded in her memory, which may be useful. If we could even find them.Every day I had to watch my Sunny be … anything but herself was just killing me. The real Sunny would absolutely die if she could see herself like this. She was currently outside running through a sprinkler with her nieces and nephews, just child-like, without a care in the world. Hearing her laughter relaxed me but it infuriated me at the same time. We should be somewhere exotic, chasing animals together. But instead she has been reduced to the mentality of a five year old and half the time she refuses to get dressed. But of course the worst part was that I couldn’t hold her, c
~Tyson’s Point of View~Susie and I had been at the pack now for a little over a week and everyone had warmed up to us rather nicely. I was actually beginning to wonder what our exit plan would be, surely if we just disappeared they would look for us. The longer we stayed, the more friends we’d make and the more people would get attached to us.We weren’t getting a whole lot of useful information, but I understood that Godfrey needed to be trying literally anything and everything.I was out on patrol with another guard, since I wasn’t being left on my own yet. It was about 2am and it was dead quiet. “So what do you make of living with all these other creatures,” I asked the guard.“Oh the elders didn’t like it when they first did it, that’s for sure. But it’s been about a decade now and it’s what I grew up with so I’m used to it. Your mate is unique but normal like, what even makes her that different,” Derek asked.I laughed, not even remotely wanting to answer that question. I’d seen

Ben and I had talked about doing an actual ceremony, for him it was an important thing. Tradition. He assured me ours would be completely different from anything he’d done before, that the vows he made with other women were somewhat superficial. More of a just a promise they could join his family and that he was willing to have a child with them. More like a guarantee he’d get to sleep with them on demand. I still struggled with that sometimes. How do I just walk around knowing that all these women had shared something so special and intimate with MY mate? It wasn’t like they were one night stands. I knew it would get better, the more distance I could put between them and him, but it still tugged at my self esteem. It was even harder trying to help care for Dorothy and Calista’s children, especially since even now they still asked for their moms. Sometimes they cried out for them at night. A few times we both slept in their rooms with them. Dorothy was banished for five years, then
~Meadow’s Point of View~ “Don’t you just feel like a cow sometimes,” I muttered, staring down at my adorable twin pups that seemed to drink me dry each time they nursed. They were so cute when they weren’t screaming. When they weren’t crapping their pants. When they were just … motionless. *My beautiful babies,* Coral cooed. “Yeah, but it's such an incredible bond,” Lilly said, as I turned to cut my eyes at her. She was four months pregnant with their sixth child and THANKFULLY it was only one baby this time. I thought they were all insane. I nearly said, ditch the crap woman, I’m a freaking milk cow, a spit up rag and yesterday Reed whizzed in my face while I was bathing him! “It gets easier, they’re only six weeks old,” Lilly said, running her finger over Hazel’s cheek. That’s what they ALL keep saying. “It gets easier.” Ah huh. *We have been getting more sleep lately,* Coral protested. Yeah right, like SHE ever gets up. Really, I had no right to complain, since I had mo
~Ben’s Point of View~ I barely had to wait another minute for several vampires to try swarming in. Oftentimes there are some creatures that will take on a not so common alliance for the sake of a power grab. I knew in my bones that’s all this was, unless this sister had taken one as a mate. While you’d expect Godfrey to perhaps have reservations about killing his own kind, he absolutely didn’t. As a councilor, he took that shit pretty seriously. If they wanted to fuck around and be stupid, test the waters well, that was on them. I stood still watching as numerous Shadow vampires, witches and fairies seemed to descend from nowhere, and I also recognized two of Godfrey’s children. He likely called them through their bond, but I was pleased for the support. I bounced around, throwing some fireballs from my fingertips and even conjuring up some various weapons such as shurikens or ninja stars, which were one of Godfrey’s favorite things. Only it was hard for him to touch silver unless
~Ben’s Point of View~ My heart swelled as I watched Daisy doting on Ash. Since their mating bond had been broken, they re-mated and apparently all that entailed. They were both like young teenagers in love all over again, and it was a sight to behold. I couldn’t wait to bring Meadow to see. They had been left alone for a couple of days, much like my little love and I. But now guests and well wishers poured in from all over the place. I could tell he was grateful and overwhelmed but the relief on everyone’s faces seemed to rejuvenate him. Shane and Godfrey had brought him up to speed on all that transpired and he kept insisting he was to blame in some fashion for not having a security detail and allowing himself to be caught. It was all we could do to reassure him that we were all to blame. I felt I was more so than anyone. Apparently this attack had been decades in the making. Ash was just an innocent bystander, but as not only a Shadow but also a councilor he knew the risks. Doe
~Meadow’s Point of View~ *Are you happy now,* I whined, scolding Coral. She didn’t answer, but instead played like she was asleep. Jerk! This was now the third night I’d been in the mountains with my mate, and while I’d felt the heat mostly subside a few hours ago we still couldn’t keep our hands off each other. I was beyond exhausted and not at all sure my legs would work. “And that position was called the hill but since I can levitate us I can actually hit you from underneath with a bit of acrobatics,” Ben said, running his fingers over my butt. I laid breathless, my head in a pillow, totally spent. I just wanted to sleep for a couple days, how the hell did he have this kind of stamina?? I mean he practically died just a few days ago! *Males always make an effort when it comes to their release,* Coral said, yawning. I had no doubt that was the absolute truth. When I had said I wanted to spend time in the coven’s library learning, I hadn’t realized I already had my own personal
~Ben’s Point of View~ It was obvious my little love wasn’t yet capable or able to express herself in words when it came to sex, but her body told a different story. The fact that Meadow was still so shy, so bashful could not have possibly been a bigger turn on. If I could get her to the point where she talked dirty to me, I’d be coming in my pants just by her words. All the women in my life had always been so daring, so sure of themselves. Her sweet innocence, her timid nature and her untouched body was all too much. I felt as though I had split personalities … on the one hand I wanted to be her fierce protector, the macho male who puffs out his chest and kills a spider in the bathroom just to be her hero. Then fuck her relentlessly to further stake my claim and beat my chest. On the other hand, I wanted to sing the songs of love and make sweet love to her for hours on end. I’d serenade her in Greek, as the words of love just sounded better than in English… I’d make her dinner and t
~Meadow’s Point of View~ “She must die, she’s lied to us all for decades. She’s kept you from Georgia, and Little Ben was just…” Sebastian trailed off. Coral shivered, remembering our brief time with the boy. He was so hopeful, curious. Yet he knew his days were numbered, how depressing. There was too much having us all on edge, especially since we were waiting for word about my father. Clearly I didn’t have the same attachment to Athena as everyone else, as her own son would. But if this was how he felt about it… Our eyes darted to Ben. “Fifty years of banishment, then we reconsider. Give her the same courtesy she gave to me,” he finally said. Numerous others murmured in agreement. “On the matter of Georgia I’m not as easily able to decide. We’re going to give her a chance to prove herself. I believe we define ourselves on the decisions we make and while some … have to be made in the blink of an eye, they can still very much have very real consequences. Georgia has lost, she ha
~Ben’s Point of View~ I was certain I’d missed a hell of a lot while I was knocked out, but there was no time for trips down memory lane. No time to address the pain that still wracked my body. The reek of the venom that was still radiating from my pores. The fact that my mate smells of pure arousal, and was laying on top of me in her panties with my blood on her hands. Definitely need more of an explaination on that. Everyone is depending on me, I have to do this. It has to work. I briefly said a prayer to the Goddess that we often ask her to pass on to through our ancestors. To draw on their power when we need it. Then I began the spell as I recalled it, hoping like hell it worked. Katrina and Cleo came to either side of me, and we locked arms. Sebastian should be here, even Athena’s strength would be good. But no time now. Just as I had that thought Georgia appeared in front of me and got between Katrina and I. Her scent immediately calmed me, it was what helped my younger self
