Elle's POV"Okay Adrian...open up slowly.... Slowly..." I chided to Adrian Monrov to open his mouth for me to check his throat and see if any abnormalities had come out there. He had been complaining of a sorethroat.I was suspicious it had something to do with his condition.
Xander'spovRetracting my hand from Ben's shoulder and with a firm expression on my face that mirrored the steel determination to find and kill whoever did this. My sister couldn't die. I'll make sure she didn't.
Elle's POVI hurried out of the Monrov's estate with Leatisia at my side to see a very beautiful and expensive coach standing out of their white wooden picket fence. A young man,who I detected to be a vampire was standing out of the carriage looking quite anxious and nervous at the same time as every second or so, his
Xander'spovGrand Uncle Ruldus and I had indeed found the scent of the maid. Disgusting turned vampire. If only the council had banned the formation of turned.
Elle's POVWe had driven in the carriage and in barely a few minutes, we arrived at the Rage mansion.

Xander's povMy heart was racing, my pulse was throbbing, my hands were clammy, a few beads of sweat decorated my forehead and the mixture of fear and anger coursing through my veins made me nauseous.
Xander's povThe last month with Elle had been the best of my life. Being bonded; soul bonded with her was the most incredible feeling in the world. I could feel what she felt and she could feel mine. I could listen to her thoughts and she could listen to mine. We were one. Truly one.
Xander's pov"Oh Xander!!" Elle exclaimed and threw herself at me, encasing me in a very warm and very comfortable hug taking me by surprise.O
Xander's povThis morning had been intense. I was so not expecting Elle to react that way. The funny part is I don't even know what I had done wrong. I did not think of her as weak. At all. She was actually much stronger than the rest of us. Or maybe, in a way, her strength was her weakness.
Elle's povI walked through one of the secret pathways in Xander's estate greatly missing him as he was away on council business. I prayed he was safe and his plans were successful.
