SKYLARMy eyes go wide and I jump to my feet when I see Master Archer and Master Devlin walk in with a battered and what seemed to be an only just alive Prince Romeo. I rush over to them, place my hand on his chest as I look at Master Archer and Master Devlin and say,“Lie him on the bed.”I then step back and allow them to move, walking over and lying him on the bed. As soon as they step back, I rush back to his side and I then freeze. I am no doctor. I’m not even a vampire. I have no idea what to do. Tears sting my eyes as I realise that I am useless, that he is lying in front of me dying and I don’t have a clue of what to do.I then let out a slight scream as I slapped my hands to my head as pain exploded through me. I squeeze my eyes shut as I hear a man’s voice in my head that I don’t know,“Skylar? Can you hear me?”“Who?..,”“My name is Memphis. I am family&helli
ROMEOAfter Nathaniel beat and knocked me out, I take a sharp breath in as I was pulled back to consciousness by a wave of power that swept out over the entire battlefield. I try to move and find that I can’t and my body is engulfed in pain and exhaustion due to the lack of blood now running through me.I then drift in and out of consciousness. I vaguely remember Archer and Devlin approaching me. Devlin then picks me up off the ground and throws me over his shoulder before throwing me into the back of the SUV. They were never gentle with anything that they did. I then drift in and out of consciousness again until the SUV comes to a sliding stop, throwing me into the back door.The next thing I remember is the wonderful taste of fresh female blood dripping into my mouth. My eyes snap open, blazing bright red as the taste of her sweet blood causes the start of bloodlust. I lock my eyes with the female as she is slightly leaning over me.I grab her wri
ROMEOI slide my hand on her cheek and look deep into her eyes, letting my Royal aura surface and then surround her allowing it to seep into her and then when I pull it back I watch as the daze fades from her eyes and they fill with tears as she looks around her and shakes her head from side to side and whispers,“Riley? We didn’t, did we?… No… Julian…”“Skylar… Skylar… SKYLAR!”She stops moving and looks at me. I slide my hand on her cheek, wiping away the tears that are falling, and whisper,“No, Skylar. We didn’t.”Her body relaxes, and she lies there with her hands over her face as she silently sobs. I don’t get a chance to remind her that I am the vampire, not the human before I have to move quickly, getting off of her and to my feet and standing so that the person who is about to enter the tent sees me before they see her. I smirk and lower my head
ROMEOI watch as Skylar runs towards the trees; I let out a breath I was holding when she wasn’t dragged back out and I get a tug on my link. I open it.“We have her, Your Highness… But we can’t get to you…” “It’s okay. Just get her out of here safely.” I then return my full attention back to Archer, who presses the button on his controller again, adding a little more of the serum into my system once more. Even though I had lowered the dose that comes out with the number of times he presses the button, he is going to overload it soon and it will flood me with the small amount that is left within the device around my neck.Archer whistles again and the small army around me attacks, I dodge the first one to lunge at me and then send my fist into the jaw of the next before hitting the next one in the stomach as the first one turns around and lunges at me one more.I fig
THIRD PERSONVlad takes a few deep breaths, fighting his Vampire, Martel, to stay hidden under his human scent. Once he has at least a sliver of control, he turns to Kolby and says,“Do you know which target is this new creature?”“No, Sir.”Vlad sighs and pulls out his phone, opens it and presses 3, the speed dial sounds, and then it rings. It is answered by the second ring,“Boss.”“Nicolas, this new creature, do you know who?”“No, Sir.”“Well then, do your job.”Vlad then snaps his phone closed and shoves it back into his pocket. As they enter the compound, he asks,“What’s with the war?”“We have had to abandon it, sir. We have lost too many of the supernaturals to them, we only just managed to get the Prince…”Kolby stops talking as they reach Romeo's cell. Vlad and Kolby wait outside an
JULIAN I pace the main battle tent. I snap my head to the door flap as Phoenix, Sebastian and Mike walk in. I watch as they walk over to the map. Phoenix picks up one of the pens and, obviously receiving information from someone, marks a place on the map. I walk over and take a look. I smile and say, “That location is on the other side of the battlefield. Is that where Romeo and Skylar are?” “It is a possible location thanks to the tracker that Romeo hid in that collar device.” “Good, let's go then.” “No, we need to wait for the go-ahead.” “From who?” “Nathaniel.” “I’m going with you.” I suddenly had to grab my head as I felt someone trying to get in and they were using a lot of force. I open my mind and Nathaniel’s voice booms in my head, “YOU ARE NOT GOING.” “Yes, I am. They are my family. I have to protect them…” “Julian. You will be more of a distraction to the others than you will be a help…” “No, I can help.” “Julian, would you be able to leave either Skylar or Ri
SKYLARI do as Phoenix and the other male told me; I move when they do. I stay silent and I move quickly. The further away from Riley we get, the more the guilt of leaving him there weighs down on me.I can't stop the occasional tear that slips free as we approach what seems to be another camp. However, the atmosphere here is much different from the one we just left.Everyone seems to stop and watch us walk in but instead of the sour faces they all have smiles, my eyes go wide as I spy a couple of the men or vampires that Vlad had sent into my room before he realised that they wouldn't touch me.When they saw me, they even bowed to me as I passed. The further we got into the camp, the more the mark on my shoulder started to tingle. I lift my hand, cover his mark and look around. I scan the area in front of us, looking for just that one man.As soon as my eyes land on his, I freeze. I can’t believe it's him after so long. I quickly glance at t
SKYLARI whimper a little as he pulls back, breaking his kiss. We are both breathing heavily as I look into his eyes as he leans his forehead to mine, tears sting my eyes as I wonder what I had done wrong. He then closes his eyes for a moment before opening them and whispering.“Skyler, did they?“I see the worry in his eyes. I lift my head a little and shake it slowly as I whisper.“No. Prince Riley and the amulet Savannah gave me stopped them.”I feel as he relaxes under me as he sighs. He then lifts my hands to his lips, pressing his lips to them as he then whispers.“I want you, Skylar, but I don't want our first time... Your first time to be rushed and in the back of an SUV. I want to love you as you give me your virginity…”I feel that strangeness pulling at me, but as I look around us I realise that I didn't want to lose that part of myself to him in the backseat of a car l
