Rose's POV "I cannot believe it has come to this!" I shouted over the yelling. "I must find my mate, Duke Sayid!" Taysia said desperately searching for her mate. "What kind of life would you and your pup have with him? A life looking over your shoulder, sister?" I asked. "Says the she-wolf who set Vincent free!" She snapped. "I-I," I stammered. "Why should I listen to you? It is not like you know best. Either you help me look for him or leave me be, SISTER!" She snarled. I threw my hands up in surrender. If she wanted to ruin her life, I was too exhausted to try to stop her. "Why would you free that monster?" Essex voice sounded from behind me. My breath was caught in my throat. I had no idea he had been near in the chaos of the ongoing war.“It is not what you think," I reasoned. "Rose..." he began to say. "No! I am no longer yours and neither or you mine. You don't get to speak to me," I said dismissively. "We are in the middle of a war and you act as if I am the enemy," he sa

Antionette's POV A knock at my door startled me from rolling dough for the fresh loaves I planned to prepare for the week. I had become quite the homemaker during this time. "Phillip?" I asked realizing he was out of breath. "Are you alright? What are you doing here?" I asked. "Sorry, I wanted to surprise you, but I fear that I was being followed. I tried to lose whomever tailed me," he replied pulling me into his arms. "Are you fucking serious? What if they're looking for me? You led them straight to me!" I panicked. "Calm yourself, woman!" He said shaking me. "I promise I wouldn't have come here if I was surely certain I was not followed," he assured me. "I would never endanger you, my love," he added stroking my cheek. "Okay," I said leaning into his touch. "Take a seat. I'll make us some stew. Shit! I ran out of goat," I sighed. "I'll get some from an old friend. I'll be back," he offered. "I don't want to fight with you. I will be gone for some time to help Alpha Queen Octavia.

Essex's POV "Hey, I really am sorry you know," Tavi said from behind me. She sighed heavily when I refused to turn to face her. Instead, I tried to divert the conversation.“It is beautiful out here besides the blood-stained grass," I spoke. "The coming rains will wash it all away," she replied grabbing my hand. I looked into her eyes. It wasn’t often that my mate showed her vulnerability; always keeping a barrier up even with me.“Your father, what's he like?" She asked for the first time. "He's intimidating, but honorable," I replied. "Then why are you upset about our meeting of each other?" She asked. "It's not my father I fear that will make things bad for us all. It is my brother, Nimrod. He's the same reason I do not show my face in the shadows. He's somehow convinced a lot of vampire kind to consider me an abomination,” I explained.Tavi frowned but allowed me to continue.“Nimrod's intentions are never good. We thought mating him with royal vampire blood would water down hi

Phillip's POV"Hurry it up! We must show the new Lady our progress!" A guard said, hitting me over the back with his whip.It was usually not permitted because I needed my strength to guide the others to make the finest weapons for an inevitable war, but lately the guards have gotten rather impatient with us."Keep your pants on!" I growled back, earning another slash.It wouldn't break me. I had a family to get back to; two in fact. I'd hoped they hadn't forgotten me after all this time. I've seem to have lost track of how long I've been here. I never see sunlight. It's always cold here. When I'm permitted outside these walls, it is only snow and cold winds."Don't destroy our workhorse, guard," a familiar voice said, making my skin crawl. "Olga?" I asked, recognizing her from the Kingdom of Klaus.Although I recognized her, her beauty shined through unlike it did back in the Kkingdom."Hello, Phillip. I prefer Lady Donyale so much better," she cooed. "I don't understand," I said dum

Oliver's POV Today we journey to witness the Union of my dear sister, Octavia, and her true mate, Essex. It gave me hope of my future with my own mate even if we beat them to the altar already. She was absolutely perfect for me.It's been nice being around my mate, Jamela. We were dispatched to our future kingdom these last few months. With Tavi and Essex ruling all the lands, things have already begun to prosper. It's been over a year now, and they are unmarried but equal. Too bad we were heading back for the possible bad news. "What are you thinking about, mate?" Jamela lazily asked. "How much has changed within only a year," I answered. "Come to bed, Alpha. Your Luna requires your immediate attention," she whispered in my ear. "What am I getting out of it?" I jokingly asked. "Undeniable satisfaction," she purred, straddling my lap. "Sounds like a fair deal," I groaned, feeling her grind on me. "You're quite an easy target," she giggled, inserting her hand inside my trousers strok
