~Godfrey's Point of View~ I was led to a library, no doubt filled with things pillaged illegally, but I wasn’t here for that. I tried my best not to be a rat at any rate. “Now there’s a relic if I ever saw one,” I heard a very thick accented voice say. Vampires often have an incredibly dry sense of humor that really isn't even humor at all. I lowered the hood of my cloak and turned to see the Queen, dressed as if she were attending a ball. She had on a very tight fitting 17th century styled gown, in deep purple with a corset that wouldn’t allow for breathing if she needed to do so. She had on enough jewelry that if sold could feed a small country for a century. “Looking lovely as ever, I appreciate you seeing me before twilight,” I said, stepping forward and kissing her hand. Vampires rarely shared a greeting such as this but she was titled and it was appropriate. She would be offended if I didn't recognize her for her position. Not that she was hardly returning the gesture. “L
~Godfrey's Point of View~This little girl was just … a horrible tease. Maybe I did need to drop my guard, let Sunny … do what exactly? She was not only a teenager but she was Ash’s child, I just couldn’t sexualize her! Even though seeing her naked was damn near enough to make me insane, I couldn’t let her see that.Could I really … mate this … child? Could I ever see her as anything other than that? Something told me taking her back to my quarters would be a horrible idea. I guessed she could either sense my inner conflict or perhaps I was taking too long to answer.“How long does it take you to fly far, what if we went somewhere else? Like the beach, somewhere warm,” she said, looking absolutely radiant in the moonlight.Her eyes sparkled with such a hopefulness, such a longing. I think I have spent more time this week looking at this girl than I’ve looked at any one single creature in the past few decades. Including the very council members I’m forced to stare at several times a mon
~Sunny’s Point of View~Godfrey was finally opening up to me, finally making an effort to get to know me. I couldn’t freak out, I couldn’t show my age and be a bubbly little girl, no. That would just turn him off. Confidence, strong, but sexy. I can do this!“My turn,” he said, pulling my arms down from his neck and taking my hand once more.We began walking again.“Describe your perfect partner,” he said.I wanted to snort and just say, you … duh. No, he probably wouldn’t believe me.“My perfect partner is … my best friend. My lover, my confidant. He holds me and makes me feel safe and loved. He is patient with me, I know I can be difficult,” I admitted.“Difficult is the same as a brat,” he asked.It took every ounce of restraint not to bend down and get a handful of sand to throw in his face. Like he would let me get away with it. If I thought my brothers were quick with stuff like that, a vampire would stop me before I even got it in my hands.“Ha, ha ha! Aren’t you hilarious,” I s
~Godfrey’s Point of View~ She couldn’t possibly understand what she was asking. Potentially three hundred years, stuck with me, dealing with me and my petulant ways? Dealing with my insatiable thirst? I could hear her wolf purring in contentment, purring at our closeness. She was daring me, egging me on and I wasn’t at all sure what to think about it. I didn’t let any other being control me. Was I already too late for that? I'd had many humans beg me for things. Money, power … my blood. I dismissed them all as unworthy of my attention. I'd never given them another thought. Could I walk away right now, could I leave her? Could I live with breaking her heart, live with the possibility that I would forever be the reason for her tears? The biggest question I had to face was … could I stand to see her with another? Simply … no. I'd lose any semblance of my mind that was left. Then the council would have me on trial. I forced my fangs away and kissed her, slowly. I dropped my body d
~Sunny’s Point of View~ Tonight had been the most salacious and unbelievable night of my life and it was far from over. The sheer magnitude of it all was making me insane. Ember couldn’t stand it, she was all over the place. I knew I was kind of … a horny girl but this … knowing that I could have this level of pleasure, of excitement, of blissful torture everyday? Ohh… my Goddess. Godfrey convinced me to play with myself on the beach, but half way through I got off my back and on all fours, and then on only three, he was behind me, taking over. I certainly knew about oral sex, I knew what it was and all that … the mechanics. But I had no idea of the feeling, the sensations, and I really had no clue about it … in my other spot. At first it freaked me out, I couldn’t understand why he thought it was a good idea. But after less than a minute, I quickly understood and I had an orgasm that was ten times what he’d given me before. Soon after I calmed down, we were back in his apartme
~Two Years Later~ ~Sunny’s Point of View~ Damn, I’ll never get tired of this view. I licked my lips and stared at my sexy mate. We were swimming in a waterfall in the rainforest at Kaieteur Falls, Guyana. Perks of having a vampire mate! Godfrey jumped in, in all his naked glory. I giggled and swam to meet him. I couldn’t believe how lucky I was to be with this amazing creature, and to have him love me and take care of literally my every need. It took a long time but I finally convinced Godfrey to stop levitating as much, and to try and embrace a bit more human-like behavior with me. The way he moved, so quick and suddenly, scared me sometimes and just made me dizzy. The old Godfrey never would have jumped in a waterfall and playfully splashed me like this, how very human-like. I was definitely rubbing off on him. “Hmmm,” I moaned into his mouth, kissing him. I quickly wrapped my legs around him, and felt his erection spring to life. When we were close, really touching at all, it
~River’s Point of View~Godfrey often picked me to personally investigate matters with him, since I touted myself as the best. But this was far more personal. Once I was briefed by my dad on the facts as they knew them so far, a huge knot formed in my stomach. “I know you’ll get to the bottom of this River, and I have to hope like hell there’s some other reason for this senseless tragedy. I … trust Godfrey, I do. I see how unbelievably happy he’s made Sunny. He would never extinguish that. She means the world to him,” my dad said. Why did I feel the tiniest sliver of doubt in his voice?“I agree but you have to admit it’s always been a concern in the back of your mind,” I replied.He sighed and took a long pause.“Of course it has been. I never wondered what type of mate any of my kids would have, I took for granted you would all have a shifter mate. But now … it’s all I think about for Meadow. Your mother prays to the Goddess every night she finds a good mate that will love her and
~River's Point of View~“Ms. Gonzalez, I need you to understand that I am a representative of the council and any information you give me needs to be true and correct. Lying to me is the same as lying to them. The penalty for a vampire lying to the council is two years chained with silver in a coffin. Do you understand and swear to be forthright,” I asked.“Yes, Mr. Black, I fully intended to cooperate,” she said, with a slight Caribbean accent. Damn I was good!“Good, let’s get started. Please tell me how you first met Vincent Lopez and how you came to make him vampire,” I said.“I met Vincent at Runaway Bay, in Jamaica. He was a trader, spices and such. He was simply dashing and I couldn’t help but follow him. Several nights I did so and one night he was walking back to his cabin from dinner when a pirate jumped on him, beat him up badly and stole his money. I fought myself on whether to interfere, I know we are not to involve ourselves in human matters but I was just so … taken with

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
