GRIFFIN After what happened with Scarlett, I went on my week trek away from the pack making sure that I made it to a far-off and totally unpopulated area before I allow Memphis to release a significant amount of his Angel power. And just like clockwork, within an hour, I feel the energy of 3 lower-class warrior Angels heading my way. I don’t want to fight them, but if I don’t and just run, they will follow, and when that happens, they cause more damage than I do. Maybe it is them that they should be trying to stop. However, I still haven’t found one that won’t fight me to the death to take a message back to their supervisor. As I sat there in one of the trees waiting for their arrival, I wonder when they will actually send an Angel that has a little more power and maybe even a little more sense than the low warriors that they keep sending after me. I wish they would get it into their Light-filled heads that no matter who my father was; I am nothing like him, and I do not hurt those

GRIFFIN I move quickly, closing the door and then stepping up in front of her. I place both my hands on her cheeks. I hold her still, locking her eyes with mine as I lower my lips to within a millimetre of hers. Memphis steps forward and allows his power to surface. I know that if anyone walked in right now, they would get the wrong idea, not that anyone would be able to, as I sealed the room as soon as I had decided to heal her. I knew that her body wouldn’t stand the pressure that the spell would put on it, and we would lose her altogether. I feel her heart rate increase as she freezes. I then whisper, As I touch you, I call upon the powers within to rise, By the moon's healing beams, and the sun's morning light I call upon spirits of the night Flesh to flesh and bone to bone. Goddess, help me heal Return her energy And make her whole… I don’t touch my lips to hers, but the greater healing spell I just cast leaves my lips and enters hers. I feel as the spell takes hold a

GRIFFIN I then continue to hold Phoenix as I whisper the minor healing chant once more, returning the energy that had just been siphoned from him by joining with me for that trip into the past and then into what could have been one possible future. Phoenix stumbles back until he lands on his arse. He then looks up at me and opens his mouth. I wait for him to speak, only nothing seems to come out. He sits there staring at me as his mouth opens and closes a few times. He then seems to whisper with horror lacing his voice, “That could have happened?” Even as I nod my head, he says again, “That could really have happened if I died?” “Yes, that was one possible future that could have passed if that one moment did not go as it did. If Silas had decided to kill you instead of leaving with Scarlett, your son wouldn’t have gone after her, therefore finding his mate along with finding Prince Alpha Williams. Sometimes, just the smallest of decisions can make a tremendous difference to what

>ROMEO< This female is something else, I raise my hand and place it on the back of her neck and pull her into me kissing her. She moans and slides her hands up my chest and wraps her arms around my neck, I can't stop my fangs from lengthening, I break the kiss and slowly place gentle ones down her neck she whispers "I know who you are and you are mine..." I smile at her certainty as I sink my fangs into her neck, retract them and drink and like Julian with his mystery female earlier as soon as her blood hit my lips and tongue I knew. This beautiful and powerful female witch was mine, I don't drink too much swiping my tongue over my bite but not erasing it completely. I don't think I just pick her up and move, I don't stop until I am in my room at the clan leader's house. Once inside I put her back onto her feet and kiss her p

SKYLER I have never been this brave when it comes to speaking to anyone. I usually try to stay away from everyone. It's safer that way. "I can take you to get it shortly. There is just one thing I would like to do first if you would let me?" "Y..you w..want t.to b..bite m..me a..again?" He steps that little closer, causing me to tilt my head up so I can continue to look into his eyes. "Yes, I would like to bite you again, but this one will make it safe for you to stay within my kind... May I?" "Will it hurt?" I whisper, starting to get lost in his eyes again, like when we were on the bed before. "You will only feel a little sting, and then it will be pleasurable." I don't know if I trust him, but I can't break the connection I have with his eyes. He then leans in and kisses me. I slowly wrap my arms around him as he deepens the kiss, he then slowly moves his kiss from my lips along my jaw and down my neck, I expect him to sink his fangs in there but he just scrapes the sharp
