EMILY POV
I slowly fight my way back to conciseness. It feels like I'm treading in mud. Each step I take seems to take more and more energy. My wolf is very weak as well. She is trying, but can only lend me so much strength without killing herself. After some time fighting, I manage to take a deep breath and finally slowly open my eyes. I start to move when I hear a soft, familiar voice."Hey Sleepyhead, welcome back! You will feel really sluggish for a few hours to come, but it will pass.."
"What happened?" I rasp out of my dry throat, looking up at Seraphina."What do you remember?" she asks, handing me a large glass of waterI drink it in one gulp, with my throat now wet I can answer her, "I remember getting here, the males saying we should stay in the room and get some rest and that they would be in the office down the hall and to call if we needed anything. I remember Teresa falling asleep as soon as she laid on the bed, I remeCALEBPOVAs soon as I heard Seraphina say that it was from me, I knew I had to stop Dominic from hearing any of this. She saw the effect of what I was doing to Dominic and lowered her eyes in fear; I felt Sebastian straighten just a little and knew if I tried anything, he would interfere, as is his duty to both Seraphina and me. I managed to cut Dominic off completely with a hiss. I then put my fingers under Seraphina's chin, forcing her to look at me while I give her a small explanation that is not quite all true."My Lady! There is nothing to be scared of, I knew this would happen when I released the first lot of my seed that morning, I could still feel the power and bloodlust running through me and you were still in the final stages of your cycle but even if you hadn't been on the edge of your cycle, any amount of my seed for the first twenty-four hours after a power and bloodlust high that powerful would have resulted in you b
SERAPHINA POVIt's a few days until the blood moon, and we haven't seen any sign of Dominic. Caleb is also getting more and more irritated as the Blood Moon gets closer. He is cornering me whenever he can, don't get me wrong. The pleasure from those encounters most of the time is intense, but he is drinking from me every time as well. He is also very restless and becoming more and more on the violent side. The last few times have been bordering on pain rather than pleasure. I have been back to my queen duties since we have been back, so I am on my way to his office with some paperwork that needs his approval and signature. I knock on the door and hear a rough "Come in" telling me I will be talking to Caleb. I haven't spoken to Dominic since the abandoned packhouse.I enter curiously and approach his desk, leaving the door open, not knowing what kind of mood he is in. He stands and makes his way around his desk, giving me a quick kiss before heading ove
CALEBPOVI was sitting at my desk when I hear a knock on the door. I say a rough "Come in"I watch as My Lady enters the office, but she seems to be a bit on the curious side leaving the door open. I can sense a small amount of fear coming off of her. I stand and make my way around the desk so I can give her a kiss. I don't know why, but I head over to the door "So My Lady! How can I help you?"I shut and lock the door as she explains why she has come."I have some things here that need your approval and signature before I can continue with them.""Okay, just put them on my desk and I will go over and sign them by the end of the night." She puts the pile of papers she was holding onto my desk."Thank you, Caleb! I will leave you to your work. I have some other errands to run."The last thing I actually remember is wanting her really badly, so I stopped her from leaving by
NOAH POVHe gets up to his feet and so do I. "Wait here while I go and speak to Emily. I will be back in a few to take you down to the cells, okay?"He just nods and sits in the chair by the window. I leave the room and head to Emily's office. I knock as I lean on the door frame. "Emily, we will need more than just a couple of blood bags. We will need, I don't know, maybe about a dozen human blood bags.""Sir, may I ask why? And why so many human blood bags?""It's an intervention, we need to bleed the vampire king until he is nearly dead, and we can't use werewolf blood because he says even normal werewolves have power and the power in him will want that power, can you handle what we need to do?""Yes Sir! Just let me make a phone call first," I watch as she walks around her desk and picks up her phone "Hi Ron!... yeah I'm good..... Listen, is it possible to order a dozen human blood bags?.... Good... When can I send someone to pic
SERAPHINA/LILITHPOVOnce Caleb disappeared, I spent that night in Sebastian and Teresa's room, and then I moved back into our room, settling the triplets into their room next door. The others are loving having babies around again. Scarlett is the most help. She is like a mini mother. She has made a strong bond with both Chrysta and Gabriela.I am missing him; I know he hurt me but there must be a reason behind it, a reason he did what he did, there is still so much about vampires that I do not know, I think I will go to the library and start reading up on what I should know and not just about being a mate to one but about being their queen as well. Something I actually should have done years ago. I am in Dominic's office at the moment going over a few last-minute requests from different staff concerning the blood moon tomorrow night, a few of the requests have been about whether we could hold another mixer ball like we did last time, I gu
LILITHPOVI run back to the castle with Patrick and Ethan flanking me. When we made it to the edge, I found my dress and shifted. I exited the woods and waited for Patrick and Ethan to join me after shifting themselves. I laugh as they come stumbling out of the woods holding all but their basketball shorts, which, of course, they were wearing. As they reach me Patrick gasps"Your Highness, you are just too fast..."he gasps "Your eyes, your Highness, they are still gold??""Yes Patrick, Sera needs some time by herself, so you have to put up with me..."He smiles and bows, "Always a pleasure to be in your company Queen Lilith.""You guys can go now. I think some of the other staff are having a party celebrating the blood moon. You two should go join them. At least some of us should have some fun tonight."They bow at my dismissal and head back
DOMINIC POVOnce I was back to my full strength, I traveled with Noah and Serenity into my kingdom. I left Noah and Serenity talking to the others while I went to find Seraphina. As I walked into our room, I heard what I guessed was one of the triplets, so I went into the adjoining room and checked on them. I don't even know their names or who is who. I pick up the girl that is whimpering and give her a cuddle. Once she has settled again, I place her back into her crib and quietly leave the room.I glance around our room, looking for Seraphina. When I feel a cool breeze come from the balcony doors. I slowly make my way over and that's when I see her. She is leaning against the rail watching the blood moon. I can feel the pull of the blood moon, but it is not as strong as it would normally be because Caleb is blocking me out. It allows me more control than I would normally have. I stand in the doorway, take a deep breath, ready for anything my lady deemed suitable, and
LILITHPOV"No Sera, My Lady...""Sorry, Caleb but she is gone, you really broke her that night, the fighter in her that had fought for three weeks straight, fought to come back to the vampire she loves with all her heart, to the mate she had spent her life looking for but was not expecting or believing she would find, to the love that had kept her going through everything. Only to find it was no longer there, that she was alone again..""What about everyone else? Nix? Seb? Theo? Jose?""They had their own duties to do, and you rarely allowed Sera out of your sight. You wanted her nearby for your... What did you call her? What did you make her from that night on? Oh! That's right! Your pleasure slave, not your queen or your Lady, but a slave. You saw it as she had given herself to you, given her life to you and you could use her however and whenever you needed or wanted. When all she wanted was the love you origin
