Lahat ng Kabanata ng Sunstone - Tainted by Enemy's Blood: Kabanata 31 - Kabanata 40

Angelica’s POV Joffrey made a few calls, his first being to Talon, to make sure that the grimoire was still in his possession, and to warn him that the vamps were looking for it. Thankfully, it was still safe in his possession, and now knowing it was what the heir sought, we knew that it must hold something within it important enough that there was a massive manhunt for it. Heaving Frank’s advice, Talon agreed to get it to a powerful warlock that might be able to help us. Joffrey’s second call was to his grandmother, and as soon as he mentioned the sunstone and began to ask her about its powers, his grandmother insisted that we come immediately to her. The only problem was Joffrey’s grandmother no longer lived within the city, and if we were going to be able to reach her, we were going to have to go in our wolf form, using the mountain that my uncle’s house sat on to escape. Since we knew all the roads leading out of the city were now being monitored, i

Angelica’s POV Joffrey paused outside the front door, as he waited for me to catch up to him, but the smirk that was on his face just moments ago was gone, as a more serious one was now in its place. “Before you meet my grandmother, I should probably tell you that she is a bit different than a normal grandmother.” “How so?” I asked him, wondering what could possibly be so different about her, that he thought he had to warn me, but then the front door opens, revealing a very beautiful young woman. “Oh Joffrey, it’s been so long. I think you have grown since I last seen you.” She said to him, before pulling him into an embrace, as his eyes met with mine, and I wondered if this was another aunt of his. When the woman pulled from the embrace, her attention turned to me, as a huge smile formed on her face, before she says to me, “You must be Joffrey’s mate. I am so happy to get to meet you.” I was just about to

Angelica’s POV As my screams projected from my lips, I awakened from the vision, realizing that I was still beneath the surface of my bath water, as I began to gasp for air, while tears began to pour from the corners of my eyes. The bathroom door at that moment flew open, and Joffrey rushed to my side, kneeling beside the tub, as I wrapped my arms around his neck, holding on tightly to him as if he was my lifeline. “Angelica, what’s wrong?” Joffrey asked me with concern in his voice, as I sobbed in his arms, just wanting to get the last image out of my head, but I knew his face would haunt me in my dreams until I stopped him. Closing my eyes, the image of his face was there just as I had feared, sending a shiver throughout the entirety of my being, as I gripped onto Joffrey tighter, while I found myself unable to speak. Joffrey at that moment lifted my naked body from the tub, but I didn’t care that I was naked, as long as I was in the p

Angelica’s POV “Mmm…” Hummed from my lips, as I snuggled closer into the warmth, while protective arms wrap around me, pulling me in even tighter. My body had never felt so at rest, as it did right now, and the sound of a steady beating heart acted as a melody in my ear, soothing my restless soul. I knew whose arms I was in, and I knew whose heart I was listening to, but by the sounds of it, he was still fast asleep, and I wanted to marvel in the way he was making me feel before I ultimately pulled away. Last night things between us almost broke the boundaries of our friendship, and it probably would have if it hadn’t been for what he had whispered to me. It made me wonder if it was a sign from the heavens above that we shouldn’t cross that line, but if I was being honest with myself, I wanted it just as badly as he did. As the morning sun began to peek through the slit in the curtains, Joffrey began to stir, and I quickly went to pull f

Angelica’s POV “You heard me right child.” Joffrey’s grandmother said, just before the tea kettle began to whistle, making her stop her story as she moves to the stove to turn it off, while I sat there processing it all. If Selene was truly the daughter of Zeus, then that would make her related to me, and if she was Joffrey’s greatest grandmother, then the two of us would be related. “Oh, my Goddess, I almost slept with my greatest of cousins.” I thought to myself, as my stomach once again began to turn, and I placed what was left of the strip of bacon back onto my plate, while Joffrey’s grandmother moved back to my side, handing me a cup of tea.“Now where was I...” She said, as she took her seat next to me, before she says, “Ah, Selene, that’s right. When Selene got to the bad part of the city, it didn’t take long for the witches and the warlocks to sense her demigod blood flowing through her veins, and before she knew it, she was surrounded by them.
