~Livia’s Point of View~“Darling it’s simply breathtaking,” mother says, eyeing my gown. My gaze falls over it, my hand over the fabric. I really, truly do wish I could appreciate it properly.“Of course it is. It’s a high end designer and probably costs enough to buy a normal person a very nice car, so of course it’s nice, but it’s not me. Not a bit,” I snap, annoyed.Now that I knew about Leonard, this dress has him written ALL over it. It literally hugs me everywhere and shoves my tits into my chin. A lot harder to appreciate when you feel like a stuffed sausage to be gawked at by one of your father's employees. “Well there’s no time to change it, unless you want to get married in a curtain,” mother laughs.That would be fine by me!“Like it freaking matters,” I mutter.“Hey come on, tell us how your dates have been,” Carrisa says, trying to lighten the mood. There's no fixing my face or my soul at this point.“I’d seriously rather not,” I snap, suddenly feeling very hot and itchy.
~Tyson’s Point of View~I desperately wanted to spend the evening with Livia but I was meeting Diana again and I couldn’t very well let anyone know. Diana coming to help me gave me every bit of confidence I needed.It was on now, I was going to win and there was no doubt in my mind.I would also need to figure out how to thank warlock Ben at some point. He’d always been nice to me but I had no clue why he’d go out of his way to help me. At this point, I didn’t care. I trusted him, and that was a hell of a lot more than I could say for anyone in Quinn’s house.Ever since the moment Livia left, Diego was grinning like an idiot. He finally shut the door and turned to me.“So dude, what’s up? You got your date figured out,” he asks, his face full of hope.“Couple more things I need to get ready but yeah,” I say, smirking.“I’m so excited for you I can’t stand it,” he claps, sitting on his bed.“Well I’m not telling you any details. Except that I did ask her what she might want to do, and s
~Livia’s Point of View~I absolutely hated to leave Tyson, and I was left to wonder what he would be doing with his evening. Maybe he had some things left to figure out for tomorrow. I had told him I was going back to find my mother but I had no desire to do that. In reality, she was probably already drunk and sleeping it off. I found myself in the kitchen with a huge bag of chips, a tall chocolate milk and a cookie jar.“Long day,” I hear, as none other than Jasper walks in.“They all are anymore,” I admit, sighing. “Anything I can do to help,” he asks, taking a cookie and sitting next to me. I point at his hand with jest.“I’m shocked you eat junk food,” I tease, smiling. While I was absolutely not going to pick Jasper as my suitor, I still felt I could be polite to him. I wasn’t totally sure if he was angry at how I’d left him on his date night. I didn’t need an angry demon looking for revenge, I probably already had that with Leonard.“A little in moderation is of course fine,”
~Tyson’s Point of View~After an hour of conversation, Ben said that something came up and he left me with a couple of his wives who were giving me pointers about making love. Talk about fucking awkward!!He said that fairies are incredibly sexual beings and to not be upset with her if she’s had a lot of partners, especially given her age. Shit, I didn’t even know how old Livia was … physically she didn’t look a lot older than me. Hell, Sunny mated to like the oldest possible creature in the world and she didn't care so I can't either.I wondered if Sunny had to think about all of Godrey's past or if she cared. I was sure it was insane. I really had no clue what Livia's experience was, or if she had done anything with the other suitors this week. I'd heard Susie go on about how hot and irrisistable Orion was and I did have to imagine he was exactly what most women would kill to have.I decided I didn’t care. I wouldn’t hold anything against her that happened before he officially chose
~Livia’s Point of View~I was sitting in my old hangout, with Tyson … my mate. I felt like I was dreaming. How could he have known? I used to sit in this cafe for hours upon hours. I had so few friends in school … wait a minute.“Did you … did you talk to my old roommate? Is that how you knew,” I ask, eyeing him. “I don’t reveal my secrets, but … Marcia says hi,” he says, grinning. My eyes grow wide and I smack his arm. Boy, he really did his homework, and this was only breakfast. It's honestly so thoughtful, it takes all my efforts not to get teary. But I push it back and focus.“Ohh my god they still make these danishes just like I remember, ohh,” I moan, licking my fingers. The coffee tastes exactly the same too, and without realizing it, I was swaying in my seat. “Did you want to dance,” Tyson laughs, eyeing me curiously.I giggle.“No! I’m a horrible dancer. But come on, if you have food this good, it just moves you, you can’t help it,” I say, continuing my movement. He eyes
~Tyson’s Point of View~Livia. Hmm, Livia.She was here, in my arms, and she wanted me. She realized it all and even though she seemed to almost be having an emotional breakdown over the whole thing, she was okay. I didn’t need to ask her how she knew we were mates, Ben told me about Orion being a telepath. He told me Orion's stupid plans. I didn’t ask how he knew, it didn’t matter.I wasn’t going to press the issue, the third part of our date would ensure she would have known, and I was still going through with it even though I didn’t need to.We had been kissing and groping each other pretty intensely under the tree and she kept giggling, making me insanely hard. I’d pulled one of the strings on her shoulder, dropping her dress and sucked on her breast and nipple so hard and rough I was sure there would be hickeys.If it wasn’t 9am and broad daylight, I would certainly be tempted to take her here and now. My love coach would very much approve.“Hey! You kids get to class, what’s wron
~Livia’s Point of View~I hear cheers and voices from the direction of the villa and I had to smile. Tyson looks absolutely beside himself with happiness and my heart almost burst. “I know you have what seems like a love/hate relationship with your family and well, you said you don’t have many friends. But I have a massive family, I’m very blessed how much they all care about me. They’re ready to marry us,” he says, pulling me to my feet. Suddenly a few dozen people pour out of the deck of the house and from all directions, all dressed nicely and celebrating. Tears fall from my eyes uncontrollably. This is really happening.“Of course we didn’t invite Quinn or Dina … for obvious reasons,” he says quickly.“That’s perfect,” I say, sniffling and nodding in agreement. Susie gets to us first, and I drop Tyson’s hands. I throw myself at her and she returns my embrace. “Will you be my maid of honor,” I ask her, over her shoulder.She pulls back and almost glares at Tyson. She then turns
~Tyson’s Point of View~The sun was setting and it was absolutely breathtaking. I wondered if Livia was watching it. It would have been awesome to get married with that as the backdrop but I knew all the vampires were going to come soon. We would have had a huge wedding party if I had all the groomsmen I’d really wanted, so we decided to just have a best man and a maid of honor. This was all completely new to me anyhow. I had only ever been to one wedding, and it was when a witch Shadow married last year so I didn’t have a lot to compare it to.Chance and I were both wearing khaki colored shorts with white polo shirts. We had yellow and purple tulips pinned to our chests. We weren’t wearing shoes or socks, we didn’t really see the point. Chairs had been set up for guests and there was a white archway decorated with flowers and vines. There was a red carpet laid out in the sand as an aisle for my bride to walk down. It was perfect, I just hoped she thought so too.“You doing all right

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
