Kitty POV
I tried to calm myself as I showered but I was still worried. Would Nick force me to do things? How far was I willing to go to continue this charade? I couldn't have sex with him. I knew that much but would I kiss him? Could I do other things with him? If I did, would Craig ever forgive me? If I didn't, would I be able to proceed with my plan?
I shuddered at the thought. He was disgusting and I didn't know if I could hide that from him. I frantically thought.
{Use the sleeping spell. Do it now so he'll be asleep by the time you walk out. He won't question it this one time but you won't be able to use it again. He'll become suspicious if you do.} My inner voice guided.
I mumbled the spell softly and pictured in my head Nick becoming drowsy and eventually falling asleep. I crossed my fingers that it worked as I got out of the shower and did my nightly routine. I scoffed as I pulled on the underware and shirt he gave to me
POV CraigI was wandering around the next morning in a stupor. I just didn't know what to do with myself without Kitty. If she was here with me, we would be having breakfast with our friends and then rushing off to train. I would be flirting with her, trying to get her to blush. Eventually, I would get to see that lovely red creep up her neck and cheeks and she would roll her eyes at me and tell me off with a giggle. It would make my whole morning better. I lived to hear that giggle. To see that smile. To feel the heat of her blush. I lived my life to make her happy.Now... I didn't know how to live. I knew that it wasn't healthy or right. It was probably toxic as hell but I didn't care. Kitty would always be my everything. She is my love, my best friend, my Queen and my mate. I don't know how to live without her in my life.Mom and Dad came to see Clay and I after the meeting last night. They tried to keep me hopeful and it worked for a while.
POV KittyNick guided me down the hallway and into a nearby elevator. "What supplies do you need for the blood oath?" he asked as we got in.I thought for a few minutes."We will need black salt, lavender, and thyme. We will also need a bowl made out of metal, a clean towel, and a silver knife." I replied as we descended a few floors."What is the black salt for?"he demanded."It will protect all those involved in the spell and banish any hostile energy."I answered."And the lavender and thyme?" he continued as we walked down an almost empty hallway."The lavender is for protection and peace between whoever shares blood in the bowl and the thyme is for loyalty towards each other. We need a metal bowl and silver knife to ensure that they are clean and have no residue that would alter the spell. The towel is to clean the knife in between uses." I added before he could ask.Everything I was telling him was
POV KittyNick held my hand as we boarded an elevator. The worker carrying the supplies didn't follow us and I looked at Nick in confusion."There is a staff elevator. They aren't allowed to use this one. This one is only for the council members and families of the council members along with people important to the coven... like you and me." he smugly stated.Seriously? These vampires are so insecure. They need to constantly inflate their feelings of self importance. It's gross.Since we were alone, I dropped Nicks hand and took a step away from him. I didn't think he'd mind. I was wrong. So very wrong.He glared at me immediately and his eyes flashed red. He pressed the stop button on the elevator and then quickly backed me against a wall."What in the fuck do you think you are doing? Did I give you permission to let go of my hand? Did I tell you to step away from me?" he bellowed in my face as he caged me in with his arms.
POV KittyI gasped as Nick dropped my hand and shoved Locke into the wall. Nick put his forearm across Lockes neck, holding him there and growled."She needed to be taught a lesson and I did that. It's my right. She's mine!" Nick snarled."Did you need to be so rough with her? She's not like us. She won't heal in an hour, she's fragile. You shouldn't hurt your beloved." Locke spat back."Don't EVER question what I do with her. She is MY beloved. MINE!" Nick pushed harder against Lockes windpipe.Locke stared at me as I dropped my eyes to the floor and hurried to stand next to Nick. He may have dropped my hand but I didn't want to risk being too far away from him again. He was just looking for a reason to punish me. I knew that now.I felt Nick relax when he sensed me by his side."And would you look at that? She learned." he dropped Locke and turned to me with a smirk.He pinched my chin between his fingers and
POV KittyNick let me go but sent me a warning look as I took the items."You may step away but remember who is in charge here and who owns you" he ordered.I bowed my head while my family glared at him. I set the bowl down on a nearby tray table.Thankfully my inner voice whispered words to me in a long forgotten language that only the witches could know.{This will tell them what you are doing and to play along. Your Grandmother and Aunts will understand at least. It's saying that the vampires don't know much about witches and believe that this oath will keep us from harming anyone that adds their blood to the bowl.} I carefully repeated the words as I cut my hand and dropped blood into the bowl. I glanced around the room to see confusion in my cousins and uncles but the rest of my family looked calmer. Nick and the other vampires looked enthralled. Nick bared his fangs when I cut my hand and they all took a
Trigger WarningPOV KittyI laid shocked on the floor for a moment before I felt Nick kick me in the ribs. Not hard enough to break them but enough to bruise them.{He's testing you and your family to see if the spell worked. Don't let them use magic against him.}I looked over to see my grandmother and aunts ready to caste. I sent them a pleading look and shook my head slightly before looking away. I glanced over to see my cousins and uncles being held back by the 'helpers' and Locke. Locke looked at me in horror but didn't say anything."Nothing? Really?" Nick chuckled.Suddenly he was on top of me and I was screaming as he was ripping at my clothes. I cried and tried to push him away but didn't use any magic."Please. No" I begged and he froze and stared at me.Then he looked at my family. All the witches were frozen."I'm going to fuck her right now. In front of you and the camera. It's my right. She
POV SammyI scoffed at the council and stormed out of the door to find my friend. I hurried to the hospital wing and followed her scent to her bed. She had wires and tubes attached to her and Cash was sitting next to her bed. Her aunt was on the other side of her holding her hand. Cash looked up at me as I approached and started to stand in a defensive manner but relaxed when he saw that it was me."How is she?" I asked as I sat in the chair next to my brother."Not good. Broken ribs, broken cheek bone, concussion, scratches and bruises all over her and they can't seem to wake her. No one knows why." he said sadly."Her aunt is waiting on some spell supplies to see if she can heal her some but even if she can, we still don't know why she won't wake up." he added and her Aunt shot us both a glare."She won't wake up because she doesn't want to. Would you want to come back to this? Something in her dreams is holding her and I can't b
POV CraigAlvin and Clay and I ushered Sally out of the office."What do you need for the spell?" Alvin asked her."It's not a terribly large list but I'm hoping that Kitty had some of the herbs I need stored around here. It would save us time." She replied and they all looked at me."Yeah. She has some in the pantry and some in our room. I don't know if she'd want you to take them though." I said carefully.I didn't know much about how open witches were with each other. I had only known Kitty. Sally smiled at me."I don't think that my niece will mind if I use them. Especially under the circumstances. Most covens share herbs and materials on a regular basis." she assured me and I nodded reluctantly.I showed her the pantry and luckily she found most of what she need."Kitty sure has stocked this place well." she marveled.Alvin, Clay and I all nodded proudly."Yeah, she was religious about foragi
