DOMINIC/CALEB POVI was talking with Zachary, holding Seraphina. When I hear Scarlett scream, I look up and see her running over to Phoenix, who is laying on the ground. Seraphina then pulls out of my arms and runs over to where Scarlett is but then I see her stop, pull something out of her arm and start to fall to the ground. I am there within a second, so she doesn't actually hit the ground. I try to wake her but she is out cold. It is then that I see the dart sitting in her hand. She must have pulled it out before passing out.I look around "ZACHARY! GET JOSEPHINE AND THE KIDS INSIDE AND THEN COME BACK!"He bows slightly and picks Josephine up much to her protests and they both call out to the kids "NATHANIEL, SCARLETT, CHARLOTTE, JULIAN, VICTORIA, RILEY COME!! INSIDE NOW!!"I look around again and that's when I see Sebastian; he is also passed out, but he is closer to the woods. I look past where Sebastian is layi

NATHANIEL POVI smile as my mother looks over at me. I was wondering when she would remember what I could do. I am actually surprised that father didn't remember either. I have been monitoring the bond between mother and uncle Sebastian when I can see it, which is usually when uncle Sebastian is getting hit and mother can feel it. It is getting weaker as he gets weaker, but it is always really bright whenever they are beating him and neither of them can cut the connection.I concentrate and focus on the blue and red thread. The only problem I am having at the moment is separating which one is the one that connects to uncle Sebastian as they are not sharing anything at the moment. I move over to mother and climb on the bed. I put my hand on hers and gave my new little brother a kiss on his forehead."Mother, I can help, but I can't see uncle Seb's tread in amongst the other oath and blood mix threads. Can you try to talk to him? It will make the threa

THEODORE POVWe all laugh as we start our way back to the castle. It is slow going as Sebastian refused to allow us to carry him and we were attacked by a few of the runaway rogues. Once we finally got back to the castle, we took Sebastian into one of the rooms so Doc Erik could look him over. As we laid him on the bed Seraphina came in."Oh!.. my... Sebastian!!!" she had her hand to her mouth and tears falling down her cheeks.We couldn't stop him, not even Caleb could stop Sebastian from getting off the bed and practically collapsing at Seraphina's feet. Seraphina quickly pulled herself together and kneeled down where Sebastian was."Sebastian! You have to get back on the bed so Doc Erik can look you over," she whispers something else to him, but I don't hear what it was.Caleb helps Seraphina to her feet, and she sits on the bed. Caleb then helps Sebastian up and onto the bed, except this time when he lays down, he has his head i

SERAPHINA POVJosephine had her triplets two months after I had Violet and Eli, so this time she actually made it to the normal eight months a vampire-human pregnancy is meant to take. She had two girls Katrina Lucy King and Whitney Nina King, and a boy Seth Ivan King, they are ten months old now and are running amuck throughout the castle but then their six-year-old siblings don't help, as well as their cousins.Phoenix and Scarlett are inseparable, where ever Scarlett goes, Phoenix isn't far behind watching over her. Seeing them together is always good. It's amazing how much Scarlett has him wrapped around her little finger. She says jump, and he says how 'high Butterfly' it always brings a smile to my face.I look through my list of things for the twin's birthday party and find a couple of things I forgot to get while I was in town yesterday. I write out what I need, as I am about to leave I see the maid that has been hanging around, I never did have

SERAPHINA POVI open the door just enough to see who is with him today. I smile when I see Sebastian, Phoenix, and Theodore. I enter the room and close the door behind me. "Hey, boys! What are you all doing?""We! My Lady! Are working, so if there is no reason behind this visit other than to bother us, then I suggest you leave...""Dominic!!!" he hasn't talked to me like that since before we mated"Yes! My Lady? We are very busy..." he looks up but back down immediately after. I am not in the mood for this."Fine! You do your work. I guess I will see you later. " Then I turn around, open the door and walk out of it, slamming it behind me. I stomp down the stairs and bump into Sophia. "Sophia, I thought I told you to take the rest of the day and rest?""You did, Queen Sera, but I was going mad in my chambers just looking at the walls and remembering what he did to me. I find working takes my mind off of it
