*FLASHBACK CONT'*
He keeps me pinned to the wall but makes a little room between his body and mine. He lengthens his claws and runs them through my shirt and my pants. I start to struggle again as he now runs his hand along my bare skin. He lets me go and slaps me hard. I end up on the floor. Leo reaches down and grabs me by the arm, pulls me up to him, and then throws me on the bed. He removes his shirt and pants. I see this and panic again as terror runs through me. I scramble to the other side of the bed, jump to my feet, and run to the door. I try the handle, but it won't open. Leo laughs from behind me. "There is no way out, my dear"He grabs me again and takes me back to the bed, as soon as he puts me down I try to move away from him but this time he follows me onto the bed, sitting on my thighs not allowing me to move, he grabs my wrists again and forces them above my head. In this position, I can't move my head, so he t
TERESA POVAs I finished reliving that part of my life I curled into Sebastian's chest and tried to cover up my sobs."Terra, I'm so sorry, I should have gone with you...""It's okay Em, I used to think that too, that if someone had come with me he wouldn't have gotten me to go out there with him but I worked out later that it wouldn't have mattered, he had chosen me and if he didn't get me that night, he would have gotten to me on another." I move my head just a fraction to talk to her."Still I'm sorry.""You could use some more rest, my sweetheart, reliving something as terrifying as that can take a lot out of you." he whispers to me and then faces Emily "I'm going to take her up to one of the rooms to get some rest before we start our way home."Sebastian gets up with me in his arms and makes his way to one of the upstairs bedrooms.SEBASTIAN POVBy the time Teresa had finished telling us how she
DOMINIC POVWe end up spending a few days at this abandoned packhouse while Sebastian, Teresa, and Seraphina get their strength back and because I can't seem to satisfy this deep need to be inside Seraphina whenever possible. Without Leo reinforcing the block with the drug he was giving Seraphina, our mind-link returned, as did her link to the others. On the second day we stayed here both Seraphina and Teresa shifted into their wolves, as Teresa hasn't been able to do that for over a year and it's been nearly four weeks for Seraphina and she knows that with being pregnant she only has a limited amount of time where she can shift safely, Seraphina's shift is always something beautiful to watch, I saw Emily join them at one stage as well. They ran around on the grass that surrounded the house but always stayed in view of one of us males.We start our way back and about half a day's trek into the journey, Teresa screams as she stumbles over one of the guards that
SEBASTIAN/LEOPOVI just knew one of us should have gone with the guards that were escorting Leo back to the werewolf kingdom. The next time I see him, I will tear his throat out. We keep our females close as we make our way back to the abandoned house. We have decided to rest there for the day and then continue on our way. The quicker we get home, the better as far as I am concerned.We don't come across any trouble as we make our way to the house, once we reach the house we escort the females to a room upstairs so they can get some rest and then we head down the hall just a little further and enter the office, so we could look over the maps of the area and maybe find a quicker way home. As we are discussing this, we all hear a muffled scream. I know it's not Teresa, as she has already fallen asleep.We all run out of the office and towards the room the females are in. Dominic tries the handle and finds it locked, which is stra
DOMINIC/CALEBPOVThe nightmare I see in the room has me fighting Caleb for control, he wants to go in there and rescue our lady but I knew that would only cause our lady more harm, so I make him see reason and we wait just outside with Noah by my side.I can't hear what Leo is saying. It seems to be muffled, so it is surprising when Leo mind-links me "Your Highness Sir??""Yes, Leo, we are here with you. We are just outside the door. What's the situation?""I'm sorry sir, I don't know what to do? My mate is hurt laying against the wall but my queen is being held on the bed with claws at her throat by Leo! Sir, he is raping her in front of me. It is subtle, but I can tell. Sir, he has told me to choose between my mate and my queen!"I hiss low at the information that Leo is once again violating my lady and I can't do anything to stop him. I have fa
SERAPHINA POVI woke up feeling like I had been hit by a train, I stretch and smile at the sparks that are running through my body from the arms that are wrapped tightly around me. His voice is raspy as he says "Are you okay, my lady?""I feel like I was hit by a train. My body and head hurt. What happened?" I turn over to face him."Don't move too much my lady, your body will be sore for a few hours because Leo saved you by using his vampire speed and that puts a lot of pressure on a body that is not used to it." he moves so he is propped up by his elbow looking down at me,"I must apologize and thank you, your head hurts because Caleb drank a little too much from you, causing you to pass out but if you hadn't willingly allowed Caleb to drink as much as he needed then I wouldn't be here and Caleb would have gone rogue."I look at him with concern, "What?? Why? All Leo said to me was that you needed me. I don't remember the rest.""Here, How
EMILY POVI 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 reme
CALEBPOVAs 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
