NATHANIEL POV
I smile as my mother looks over at me. I was wondering when she would remember what I could do. I am actually surprised that father didn't remember either. I have been monitoring the bond between mother and uncle Sebastian when I can see it, which is usually when uncle Sebastian is getting hit and mother can feel it. It is getting weaker as he gets weaker, but it is always really bright whenever they are beating him and neither of them can cut the connection.I concentrate and focus on the blue and red thread. The only problem I am having at the moment is separating which one is the one that connects to uncle Sebastian as they are not sharing anything at the moment. I move over to mother and climb on the bed. I put my hand on hers and gave my new little brother a kiss on his forehead."Mother, I can help, but I can't see uncle Seb's tread in amongst the other oath and blood mix threads. Can you try to talk to him? It will make the threaTHEODORE POV"I am sure."I am kicking myself for not thinking about checking this place out sooner. It should have been at the top of my list of places to search first. Well, we are here now and I have a job to do, so I climb a tree and have a look around and see that Dominic is right. There is more to this place than meets the eye. I see the two sets Dominic said were patrolling and I also see the two sets that are only just in hiding, but I also see another two sets closer to where Phoenix is with his team, "Phoenix??""Yes, Theo!""Get up into a tree or undercover. You have two sets of teams nearby. They are moving very slowly but will be on top of you in about two minutes. If you don't want to take them out and blow our cover, yet move now.""Thanks, Theo, we are going undercover now."Now that I know where some of them are, I can make my slow approach towards the bunker. I climb down the tree a
THEODORE POVWe all laugh as we start our way back to the castle. It is slow going as Sebastian refused to allow us to carry him and we were attacked by a few of the runaway rogues. Once we finally got back to the castle, we took Sebastian into one of the rooms so Doc Erik could look him over. As we laid him on the bed Seraphina came in."Oh!.. my... Sebastian!!!" she had her hand to her mouth and tears falling down her cheeks.We couldn't stop him, not even Caleb could stop Sebastian from getting off the bed and practically collapsing at Seraphina's feet. Seraphina quickly pulled herself together and kneeled down where Sebastian was."Sebastian! You have to get back on the bed so Doc Erik can look you over," she whispers something else to him, but I don't hear what it was.Caleb helps Seraphina to her feet, and she sits on the bed. Caleb then helps Sebastian up and onto the bed, except this time when he lays down, he has his head i
SERAPHINA POVIt will be one year in a couple of days since we got Sebastian back, and I had Violet and Eli. I am planning a birthday party. We have had no trouble whatsoever; it seems that Leo has disappeared and taken his rogues with him. Dominic and Theodore have not let up on patrols or any of the security. Since the rescue of Sebastian, Theodore has been more involved with what happens within the castle as well as outside. I saw him that day when he brought Sebastian home when he spoke to Caleb and then stood in the corner just watching. I found out later that he and Zachary were the ones to actually get Sebastian out of the bunker.*FLASHBACK*Nathaniel comes over and climbs up on the hospital bed. He puts his hand on mine, then leans forward to give his little brother a kiss on the forehead. He says in a soft voice, "Mother, I can help but I can't see uncle Seb's thread in amongst the other oath and blood mix threads. Can you try to t
SERAPHINA POVJosephine had her triplets two months after I had Violet and Eli, so this time she actually made it to the normal eight months a vampire-human pregnancy is meant to take. She had two girls Katrina Lucy King and Whitney Nina King, and a boy Seth Ivan King, they are ten months old now and are running amuck throughout the castle but then their six-year-old siblings don't help, as well as their cousins.Phoenix and Scarlett are inseparable, where ever Scarlett goes, Phoenix isn't far behind watching over her. Seeing them together is always good. It's amazing how much Scarlett has him wrapped around her little finger. She says jump, and he says how 'high Butterfly' it always brings a smile to my face.I look through my list of things for the twin's birthday party and find a couple of things I forgot to get while I was in town yesterday. I write out what I need, as I am about to leave I see the maid that has been hanging around, I never did have
MAIDS POV I make my way to the Queen's room. I knock softly, and when I hear a soft "Come in" I open the door slowly and try to say without letting my sobs show "Your Highness! Hhheerree are the iittems you wanted from ttoowwnn...""Miss wait! Are you okay?" the Queen's soft voice makes me jump a little."I... I... I'm fine Your Hhhighness! I" hate when I get nervous.. and the fact I'm trying to hide my sobs as well doesn't help."Please come in, sit and talk with me!"I didn't want to because she would see but I couldn't deny her either as that would count as disrespect and I would be punished by the King for doing so. I enter the room fully as she says, "Close the door behind you." I do as I am told.I walk over to where the Queen was sitting by the window but don't sit, I bow instead. "Was there something else I can do for you, Your Highness?""Yes, you can sit and tell me what happened.""What do you mean, Your Highness?"
SERAPHINA POVI open the door just enough to see who is with him today. I smile when I see Sebastian, Phoenix, and Theodore. I enter the room and close the door behind me. "Hey, boys! What are you all doing?""We! My Lady! Are working, so if there is no reason behind this visit other than to bother us, then I suggest you leave...""Dominic!!!" he hasn't talked to me like that since before we mated"Yes! My Lady? We are very busy..." he looks up but back down immediately after. I am not in the mood for this."Fine! You do your work. I guess I will see you later. " Then I turn around, open the door and walk out of it, slamming it behind me. I stomp down the stairs and bump into Sophia. "Sophia, I thought I told you to take the rest of the day and rest?""You did, Queen Sera, but I was going mad in my chambers just looking at the walls and remembering what he did to me. I find working takes my mind off of it
DOMINIC POVI have been in this office for the last few weeks catching up on paperwork, making sure security for the birthday party is organized, but we were mainly using the time looking for Leo. I have heard reports that Leo has been seen in the town, which means he is back. I have been working with Noah to set a trap for him. I just needed to know that he was back and nearby.We have a basic plan in place, with the hidden and secret patrols, but they have been told not to approach Leo or any rogues until given the go-ahead to do so. With the twins' birthday coming up, I have a feeling Leo was looking for an opening to do something or take Seraphina before the party and Noah agreed with me. I have been letting the patrols slip just a little over the last week and so far it is working. I have been getting reports from my hidden patrols that rogues are slowly making their way onto the territory and hiding out, just waiting.We were just going over a
LEO POVI can't believe they turned it around on me, dam I should have seen that one coming. After all, it was way too easy to get my males into the vamps territory without anything happening to them. Having this sparring match with the third is fun, I wonder how much I can get the vamp and my dear Seraphina to believe."You would like that wouldn't you, me surrender to you and make you look like the hero to our darling Seraphina. Have you had the pleasure of our darling Seraphina yet?? Have you even kissed her?? I know you want to, you are like me you want her for yourself!! Have you told her how you feel about her?" I see Seraphina glance at him with a question in her eyes"You are dreaming! I am nothing like you and how I feel about my queen is none of your business.""Oh it might not be my business but I am sure your King would like to know, who he is trusting to watch over his mate when he is not around."He charges me hitt
