Coincidence or not? #TeamBen. You better believe everyone is making an appearance in this book! I'm going try and have more chapters on Thursday, thank you for reading!
~Ben’s Point of View~ I’d just had a huge fight with Sebby and I’d been pacing so hard I was going to wear a hole in the deck of my vacation home. I’d gone back to help with bedtime last night at the coven and most of my wives wouldn’t even speak to me. Some of the older kids were excited, they thought it meant more exposure. More chances for them to get out and see the world, meet more people … meet shifters. Potentially find their own mates. I called a family meeting two nights ago, where I told my wives and children everything. You’d think Moses had parted the damn sea, half were furious with me and half furious with my mate. I didn’t give her name, but they’d probably figure it out or hear it eventually. Katrina and Angel were supposed to be making sure there was extra protection around Meadow, they were going to meet with her tonight and spell her. Since it was obvious she didn’t want anything to do with me. I should absolutely be the one caring for her, but that would of co
~Meadow’s Point of View~ “You’re out of your damn mind, absolutely not,” I snapped, staring up at my father. “This isn’t up for discussion. The council decided, it’s done,” my father said, running a hand through his hair in frustration. My eyes flicked to my mom who was livid. Coral and I had blocked her wolf out hours ago, she was acting possessed. I couldn’t take it. Sky’s wolf was the same, just wouldn’t shut up. Everyone’s got their damn opinions. It was nearly dark and we were all still stuck at Ben’s vacation home. More kept showing up, Shadows and their families who were too afraid to go home. Who were these damn witches that they could wield this kind of power? Making everyone crazy and paranoid? Yes I wasn’t at all happy my parents were attacked, that many acres of our property were destroyed. But we were all alive. This is the damn council! The ones who are supposed to be absolutely unbreakable! The ones who instill fear not cower from it! Goddess I sound like Godfrey
~Ben’s Point of View~ I wasn’t at all sure how the hell Sebby agreed to let nearly a hundred people come into the coven to stay, but I wasn’t about to argue. I knew we were a safe place, but it would be a lot of mouths to feed, a lot of potential clashes having so many different creatures move in. I had certainly never allowed demons or fae of any sort. While they were likely the next closest supernatural creature to a witch, there was always jealousy and animosity there. I saw it even with Angel and Dina. Kind of pissing contest if you will. Many in my coven only ever lived amongst other witches. While we are basically considered human by most supernatural creatures, low on the totem pole so to speak, we of course thought rather highly of ourselves. I had to look at it as gaining a great favor with the council, which was always a plus. Making a good impression with Ash certainly of all people was suddenly high on my list of priorities even if he personally was staying at headquarte
~Meadow’s Point of View~ *This is an awfully dangerous game you’re playing,* Coral warned, as I continued to kiss Ben. It was gentle, not eager or demanding. Not like the stupid males my own age who just wanted to shove their tongue down my throat and grab me everywhere. When I could actually get a guy near me that was, which was rare. I thought it was maybe my fifth kiss ever, but suddenly I couldn’t exactly remember the others. Going to an all girls school means you don’t exactly get many opportunities. Being the youngest Black means few males would even go near me. The way Ben held me, how careful he was, how he slightly moaned even though our kiss was pretty PG rated … it was completely overwhelming me. While our mouths opened and maybe our tongues touched a bit, they didn’t go too far. My entire body was lit up, Coral was too even though she was being weird. She didn’t want me to kiss him but she didn’t want me to stop either. I was willing to bet we were going on nearly five
~Ben’s Point of View~ My little love was curious indeed and while I loved to torture her, the universe had other plans. Meadow and I had only been alone for mere moments, but I had been trying to take advantage of every second. I did what Chance had told me to do, I sort of rubbed my nose and my breath along her neck. I nibbled a bit at her ear, eliciting a moan that went right to my-- “Meadow? Enjoying the view,” I heard, as I silently cursed. Vampires are the natural enemy of literally any creature but knowing that I was holding on to this one’s little sister was definitely unnerving. I literally never felt out of place in my own home. Felt like someone, something else could overpower me. But a baby vampire? Completely unpredictable, completely reckless. Has she fed already tonight? I fucking hope so. “Evening Sunny,” I said, dropping my arms and turning to give her a small smile. She raised her perfectly manicured eyebrow. “I was certainly curious how this little situation
~Meadow’s Point of View~ The coven’s library was in a building separate from the house, it seemed ancient much like the tower where Sebastian worked. Needless to say, sound traveled since there was really no insulation. I heard everything Ben and my mom said, even from the door that led outside. *I know what mom said, but we talked about it. We decided,* Coral insisted. The thought had crossed my mind several times before mom said it. Between Sky and Shane basically mocking Ben’s lifestyle and how Lilly and even my own mom gushed over him. That he was that handsome and irresistible even happily mated females couldn’t help but feel lust for him. How could he possibly turn down beautiful women throwing themselves at him? Especially ones that were used to being intimate with him? I found myself walking along the beach, dog tired but there was just too much on my mind to shut it all off. There were still some groups of people around, mostly my age, maybe a bit older. There were a coup
~Ben’s Point of View~ Everything in my being told me it was a very stupid idea to bring Meadow to my bedroom, but she asked and who was I to turn her down? I sure as hell didn’t want to be apart from her. I’d given her a big black t-shirt and I was sitting on the edge of the bed nervously waiting for her to change. I very rarely saw my wives in my own room, I’d visit theirs. I liked my space and my privacy when I could get it, since it was rare. But with my mate, all I wanted was her succulent light fruity scent all over every inch of my space. All over me. It killed me not to know what she was thinking, what the hell did Tobias say to her? Whatever it was, I’d certainly have to thank him later. I wasn’t going to expend the energy necessary to try and mind-link him but I doubted he’d be able to intercept it yet anyhow, we were still working on that. My thoughts were interrupted when my little love emerged, complete with a yawn. I rose and quickly pulled back the covers for her. “
~Meadow’s Point of View~ It had been two days since the island was attacked, and I hadn’t heard a thing from Ben. All of my brothers were gone as well, which meant I was on baby duty, helping Lilly. My mom was always off who knows where, helping the wives with whatever. Not that I wanted to see her, we weren’t exactly on speaking terms. “Jett, where’s your brother,” I asked, as it seemed I’d lost one of the two year olds. Who the hell could keep track? I’d put them all in matching shirts, trying to make sure I kept them separate from the Greeks. Although with their bright blonde hair it was kind of easy. I heard a snicker and turned around. One of the teenage girls was laughing at me while another girl was making gestures with her hands. I gave them both my best nasty glare. I then turned and followed their line of sight and saw Orion hanging upside down about three feet above my head. He didn’t look like he was enjoying it. How long had he been up there?? *Get him down,* Coral
