KATIE'S POVIn about an hour's time, the lunch was done and we had gone through all of the courses. We were all sated, more sated than we had been in a very long time. We all were grateful for how things had turned out as regards to Dominic, but I knew that we weren't out of the woods yet. There was
"Yes, I can se them." The thought bounced around in my head. These were my children. My own blood and flesh, I was a father. I was their father. The love and bond sprouted up from inside me like a germinating plant in a timelapse, threatening to consume me with how forceful and all encompassing it w
KATIE’S POVThe weight in my chest settled down deep, becoming heavier and heavier. I felt like I was going to faint as all the doubt came rushing back in. What if it doesn’t work out? Nothing seemed to ever go according to plan for us. What if this was the last time I would ever walk these halls, r
I woke up early to pack my things. I wouldn’t take a lot. Just some of my personal items, a few favourite clothes that I liked, and some shoes. Everything else would be provided for me at Xander’s house.Then I and Dominic took a very long stroll with the babies across the length of the Grey Yard ma
KATIE'S POVMy life was officially hell now. I couldn't say that I was suffering all that much in the way of torture. Definitely not like I had suffered in Rose's hands in her father's castle so long ago that it felt like a dream. No, Xander's house was not that bad of a place to live in, as all thi
KATIE'S POVI had initially tried to mindlink with Dominic once I had arrived at Xander's house, but whatever technology that was capable of blocking the ability to mindlink was present and active in his home. I had strained hard, consuming so much mental energy to even be able to join the mind link
When Dominic thought again, his voice in my head seemed fainter. Or maybe that was just because I was getting very lightheaded. "Alright, honey. You've done very well. We can try and make something work with this. Thanks, and good luck uncovering his other secrets. I love you so much.""I love you
"You need to stop this madness, son.""Stay out of this," he spat at her. Then he brought down the metal rod.But the rod didn't pierce my skin.Malia had come between the two of us at the last minute and the rod was pierced through her side. She crumpled to her knees as she groaned in pain. Blood r
KATIE'S POV I knew that it would all turn chaotic real fast, but I still wasn't prepared for the level of chaos and violence that had broken out in such a short amount of time. Once Xander had unleashed his vampire warriors on the people Dominic, who had been anticipating such a move, rallied his o
KATIEThe reunion between me and Dominic, Dustin and Damien was nothing short of emotional. I had not seen them in months by now, and it was all so exciting seeing them and touching them . Especially as there were times where I had feared that I would never see them again. They had missed me as much
I collapsed to the ground, clutching my throat and gulping and coughing till it hurt. "That is the only warning I'm going to give you," Xander said from somewhere above me. "I mean the nerve of you, to think you could try to change me. If you even think of trying to manipulate me again, this will
KATIE'S POVThe words I had screamed out rang in the air, almost seeming to echo. Xander stopped in his tracks immediately, stunned by what I had said. "W-what…what did you just say?" he asked, his hand tightening on my wrist even as he was no longer forcefully groping and undressing me."I did. I-
Once I had the letter safely in my clothes, I patted her in consolation. "Don't worry ma'am. I'll find a way."And then I left.Power affects everyone, even the kindest and humblest of men. Makes them do things they usually wouldn't, hurt people, destroy things. Power in the hands of Xander Thane wa
KATIE'S POVIt took me no time at all to make quick work of the lock to Lady Malia's cell and soon I was in the room.The woman who was curled up on her bed against the wall gave a small start. "What the f—""Shh!!" I said to her. "You'll alert everyone.""Who are you?" she said in a painfully loud
The way he said human, with so much disgust and loathing in his tone, made me blush."There's nothing you can do about him. Don't worry about it. This is his time to shine, and soon someone else is going to take his place. It always happens."The first voice became hushed. "Now, don't ask me how I k
KATIE'S POVThe vampire world was becoming more and more familiar to me as the weeks crawled by. That was not a statement that I ever in my dreams imagined that I would even be making. Before all of this, the vampire world had seemed to me like nothing but a mere, distant thought. Now, I was entrenc
