Davyna's POV
I decided to walk slightly behind the boys as we head towards thecouncil chambers. Both Caleb and Vincent reassured me everything will be fine, but I can't shake the feeling that this may turn out badly. As we approach the council chambers near the back of the compound, both Caleb and Vincent look back at me and move slightly apart, signalling me to now walk with them as we enter.The large doors open, and I take a deep breath and exhale, steadying myself.Here we go I walk alongside the boys as we make our way up to the council's seats. I've never been in here before, but it's definitely an intimidating room.The stone floor makes me slightly uneasy, my black flats making small clapping noises as I walk. I startle as I hear one of the guards announce our arrival."Ladies and Gentlemen of the council, Caleb King, Vincent Valdun and Davyna Blackmoon have entered the chambers."I look to Vincent and he smiles at me, which settles me down a bitDavyna's POV Back at my suite, I'm trying to sort through my current feelings. I can't help but feel nervous as I start to pack my bags to go to Avern. I'm getting actual time with both Caleb and Vincent, alone and uninterrupted. I sigh loudly as I grab my large suitcase and open it on my bed. I stare at it for a moment, thinking what I should pack for the week.I start to pull out a few things from my closet when I hear a loud knock on my door, followed by a ping on my phone. I grab it from mynightstand and skim the message.M- It's Marcella, I'm at your door. Let me in!-I toss my phone onto my bed and head out of my bedroom to my frontdoor and open it. Marcella is standing there with armfuls of bags,looking like she just filmed a scene from Sex and the City."Uh, hi. What's all that?" say with a confused tone as I point to the bags overflowing on her arms. She walks past me, bags crumpling and scraping the doorway as she passes."These," Sh
Dayyna's POV (The Next Day) I groan loudly as I slump onto my couch. I offered to help Marcella get Bloodhaven all set up for the event tonight that I'm not working, since I'm heading out to Avern with Vincent tonight. Little did I know, she was going to put me through the ringer. I'm exhausted."No need for a workout today..." I drape my arm over my eyes as I slouch further into the couch. I'm startled by a light tap on my door."Who could that be?" l ask myself and I struggle to get up. I make my way over to the door and open it to reveal a familiar chiseled face, blue eyes and black wavy hair."Hi Caleb." I say smiling widely"Do you have some time to come out to the woods with me?"I nod. "I'm already packed and ready to go so, yeah I can come." Heflashes me that wide smile I love so much. "Just let me get my phone." He nods and holds the door open as I grab my phone off my coffee table, stick it in my back pocket of my jeans and we head towar
Davyna's POV 35Kassi was a normal girl lining in a normal to an until one day her"How long until we get to Avern?" I ask Vincent as he starts the engine, the car roaring to life and begins to pull away from the front of the compound. I wave goodbye to Caleb quickly."It's about a 6 hour drive. We will make a few stops on the way there it needed.""Okay, sounds good to me. Glad i packed a book then."i chuckle tomyself as I reach around into the backseat to grab my bag and pull out my book and my small flashlight I use for night reading. I place them in my lap and return my bag to the backseat, and then proceed to stare out the window, as we exit the large gates at the front of the compound and proceed on our little journey.The ride is silent for the first little bit, as Vincent is focusing on driving and I've been too busy admiring the dark scenery outside. It's hard to believe that we're coming into Fall and I've been living at The Hollow for almost 5 mon
Davyna's POV I turn around, surprising him as l push him back down on the lounge chair and kiss him softly, as I move up to straddle him. He runs his hands through my hair, and then cups the back of my neck with one hand, deepening the kiss until we break away from each other, my heart hammering in my chest."Let's go unpack." I say slyly as I get off of him and walk to the doorway. He looks toward me, his hazel eyes smoldering as he looks me up and down"God damnit, Davyna.""l can tease too." I go and take off towards the bedroom, and once I get in, I have no chance to do anything. I'm suddenly pinned against the wall, hands above my head. Vincent buries his face in my neck, kissing and love biting me until I feel like my legs are going to give out."We will continue this later, once I feed and have a bit more control." He pulls away from me, his eyes now blazing red."You can feed off me you know that right?" I say as he lets go of my arms and I bring the
Davyna's POV I stir awake slightly, rubbing my eyes. I roll over and notice l'm alone in the bed. Did Vincent not sleep here last night? I sit up, my stomach churning with nerves as I remember our heated discussion last night. I overstepped a line. I shouldn't have pushed him to answer if he wasn't ready to talk about it. Whatever it was, it upset him greatly, and I really have to learn to keep my mouth shut sometimes.Black had given up on looking for I sigh, and swing my legs over the edge of the bed. I hop off and adjust my pyjamas and head into the bathroom to wash my face and tame my wild curls. Once finished, I walk back out and open the double doors to go and find Vincent.I'm greeted by a wonderful smell coming from downstairs. I make myway down and peek my head into the large kitchen near the back of the house. I smile as I see Vincent, bare chested with just pyjama pants on, whistling some tune while he makes food."Vincent?" I say quietly, trying to
Vincent's POV I emerge from the bathroom a few minutes later, freshly showered and I change into my usual casual pants and a white dress shirt, the topbuttons left undone. I leave my hair down to air dry."Davyna, you ready?" I ask as she comes in from the hallway, in a dusty plum coloured dress that ends just before her knees, and black ankle boots. Beautiful."I'm ready if you are.!" She replies and reaches out her hand. I take it and we head out together. It day in Avern was spectacular. We did some shopping. where I bought Davyna some jewelery, which she tried to flat out ref finally caved into. We also bought some clothes, a small gift for Caleb- which she wanted my approval for, and I gladly gave - and sweet snacks for Davyna to enjoy later. We went back to the house and dropped all of our newly purchased items off and then we decided to walk over to the restaurant for dinner. We had some champagne, and I ordered my favourite steak dish, and Davyna decided on
Davyna's POV There's a few moments of silence as Vincent just stares at me, eyesblazing wildly. I place my phone on the side table and then get off the bed and make my way over to my mate who seems completely frozen in place. Did I shock him into submission?"Vincent?" I say his name as I place my hands on either side of his face.He doesn't say a word, but his eyes trail hungrily down my body andback up again. When our eyes meet again he finally speaks."Not that I'm complaining, but what is this?" He says with a clear hint of arousal to his voice, but still holding back. "It's a surprise, like I alreadysaid." I reply as I wrap my arms around his neck."You're treading on dangerous ground here, love." He warns as I lean in to kiss him lightly."I know, but I'm making that choice. I want you. I can't keep dodging around howl feel. I want to feel you against me,I need to."That's all it takes. He pulls me further into him, our lips collidin
Davyna's POV "You'll be a little sore in the morning, but let's run a bath and get cleaned up." I nod as he picks me up bridal style, towel and all and carries me into the bathroom. When he puts me down to run the bath, I get a wet cloth and wipe myself down, noticing the smallest amount of blood, a clear sign that I am no longer a virgin. I go and rinse the cloth under the tap in the sink, and when I look up, I'm startled by Vincent standing behind me, eyes almost glowing red. He's breathing heavily as he stares at me,me yes focused solely on my neck."I need to mark you, Davyna." He says huskily as he approaches me and I turn to face him. "Are you in pain, Vincent? You look like you're mizzled looking up to me, not even hurting"It's...uncomfortable, but I need to do it. My nature is making it hard to resist now that we've mated. I thought I could hold off, but it's proving difficult." He tells me, and I can hear the strain in his voice."Then don't resist it." I
