DOMINIC POV
We are getting closer. We are about a day behind them now, if not closer. Noah's informant has said that they are stopping for a few hours' rest at an abandoned house up ahead. Sebastian has been keeping me informed, too. Leo must still be giving Seraphina small amounts of some drug because I still can't connect to her through any of our bonds.If we keep moving while they rest, we will be nearly on top of them when they stop next."Sebastian??""Your Highness""How is everything going? Is Seraphina alright?""Everything is as expected, unfortunately when we stopped Leo used me again as a punching bag to stop Seraphina from fighting him. I am fine. Seraphina allowed me a small amount of her blood before we stopped. She is okay. He roughed her up a little, but nothing serious.""We are getting closer. We didn't rest while you did, so be prepared for a fight in maybe a day or two. Do you knowSEBASTIAN POVI don't like what Dominic just told me, but it makes sense; it puts a reason behind what he is doing, why he takes every chance he has to rape her. I just wish there was a way to stop him, but what I told Dominic is what happens when someone or anyone interferes with what he wants and he has been doing it since we left the abandoned house. I think this stop has been the only one he hasn't touched her on that I can hear, anyway.Teresa has been keeping close to Seraphina as well, she has tried a couple of times to stop Leo from doing anything when we stop but I hear him hit her and still touch Seraphina or he does it to her until Seraphina steps in and offers him herself in Teresa's place. I could hear Teresa's screams and then her pleas with Seraphina not to, that it was okay, but Seraphina wouldn't listen, always being the Queen she is.I hear some footsteps coming towards me. They are soft and quiet, so I know it is either Seraphina o
NOAH POVDominic and the rest of our hunting party have gone ahead to the spot Sebastian told us about. I volunteered to follow closely behind the rogues and inform Dominic if they changed course or looked like he was sending anyone ahead to set up a trap. Like most Alpha's I can mask my scent but unlike other Alpha's I can also mask my power, making myself just like any other normal werewolf so it made it easy to just join the pack, the only thing that would give me away would be if I shifted because my black Alpha wolf is so big, I tower over all other Alpha's.I was slowly working my way through the rogues making my way towards Sebastian when I saw what Leo did to Seraphina and I saw the male that was watching them; I knew the exact moment he decided that he wanted some of that female and that the Alpha wasn't going to keep him from her any longer. It's a good thing we are going to take these males out soon because I have also been listening to the whispers
LUCASPOVI can't control myself. I noticed the males around us were getting restless, and it has been increasing since the abandoned house. I have been the only one to touch her in that time. I haven't been as rough as Leo would be, but I haven't been able to satisfy myself for the last few hours, no matter how many times I take Seraphina. Maybe the time at the next abandoned packhouse will serve my needs.Once we get there, I don't think or care about anyone else but having Seraphina alone and to myself. I slap her as soon as I close and lock the door. I want her to fight; I need her to fight and she doesn't disappoint. As I go to slap her again, she blocks it. She goes to punch me and I block it, but I miss the second punch that connects with my ribs. I do the same, but when I come into contact with her ribs, I hear a satisfying cracking sound saying I have just broken a rib. We keep fighting until I finally get another shot at
SEBASTIAN POVAfter talking to King Noah and knowing that the others were close by made me relax a little, I am still blindfolded but a good thing with being a vampire, like werewolves our other senses are just as magnified as our sight, so even though I can't see I still know where everyone is. I know that Noah followed and watched Seraphina and Leo or is it Lucas this time, same as at the last stop, I know he forced her, and then when they came back, he didn't let her go.I think it's Lucas and I can tell he is smiling but not yet satisfied when he yells "ALRIGHT EVERYONE BACK ON YOUR FEET. TIME TO MOVE!"We walk for what feels like days but of course is only another couple of hours, until we make it to the next abandoned packhouse, once there they throw me as hard as they can into one of the rooms downstairs, then one grabs my arms and lifts me up, then slam me back down but this time in a chair, they then tie some of the cord fro
SEBASTIAN POV"Sebastian?? Can you hear me?""Yes! Your Highness!""I have been trying to contact you for some time. Did something happen? Are you alright?""Sorry! Yes, I am fine. Nothing happened! Well, that I didn't want to happen." I smile as I gaze down at the now sleeping doctor in my arms."Sebastian!!""Sorry sir, I just had some time with my mate, she is no longer his slave but my equal.""That is good to hear, my friend. You marked her then? Is Seraphina okay?""Yes! And completed the mating as well. Seraphina is as good as can be expected, with what's going on. Unfortunately, I still can not protect her from him. How is the trap going Sir? I would have thought you would have sprung it by now?""We will be springing the main trap in about an hour or so, but with Noah's help, we have been slowly taking out
DOMINIC POVAfter talking to Sebastian, Noah, Phoenix, Theodore, and I have been taking teams of three or four and making our way around the house, taking out his patrols very quietly. By the time morning breaks, we have taken out every rogue in a ten-mile radius. I think there is only one or two left and they are in the house guarding Sebastian."Sebastian? Are you awake?""I am now, sir! What do you need?""We have taken all the rogues out other than the ones guarding your door, they are for you, then the only one left is Leo himself. It ends when he wakes and exits the house. Let me know when you take out the guards. Noah is going to send in two of his people to take their place so Leo doesn't get tipped off too quickly.""Okay, I will do that now."We now just have to wait for him to come outside. We could go in and get him, but there is no telling what he will do to Seraphina if we do it that way. We don
SERAPHINA POV"Okay, I will make a deal with you. If you can beat me, you can have her back, but if I beat you, I get to keep her. What do you say, vampire king? Willing to risk your mate on one fight with me?"Shaking my head, I mumble to myself, knowing he will take the deal "No..no..no... My King! I'm not worth it, I'm not worth it, I'm not worth it!""Come on vampire king, make your choice, one fight and the winner gets Seraphina..""Okay! One fight winner gets Seraphina""NO... NO... NO! My King! Please!!" I plea, hoping he would change his mind but knowing he wouldn't."There is to be no interference from anyone or you forfeit and I get to keep her." Dominic nods, as do the others. Lucas lets me go and I collapse to the ground. I watch as Dominic takes off his coat and gives it to Noah. Noah whispers something to him, he nods slightly, and then he makes his way
SERAPHINA POVI wake up and feel like I have been asleep for a week. I go to stretch and that is when I notice the arms that are wrapped tightly around me from behind. I panic and tense. I get ready to fight until one of the arms moves and touches my skin directly. I relax completely as I feel sparks flow out from where his arm lays. I smile to myself and turn so I am facing him. I move my hand up his chest, over his shirt, and up to his face. I softly run my fingers over his skin, unbelieving that he is the one actually holding me."That is tickling my cheek. My Lady." he smiles and slowly opens his eyes."I'm sorry, My King, are you really here, or am I dreaming?""I am no dream My Lady, I would like to prove it, but I don't want to scare you either.""Dominic, I am sorry, I couldn't stop him.""Shh.. it is okay, you are my little fighter and I know you have been fighting him the whole time, it is me that should be
