SHARON / VERA POV
He nods slightly at me and continues down the street. He just dismissed me like I was no one, that I haven’t been giving him all of me for the last hundred years or so. I can’t stop myself as my vampire Vera takes over, wanting some skin contact with Phoenix. She doesn’t block me out though, so we can enjoy this together; we move quickly up to the next alley and as he walks past; we pull him in and push him up against the wall, kissing him like it is our last day on this earth. I smirk as his arms wrap around me and he tightens them, pulling me closer as he deepens the kiss. I keep the kiss hard and dominant, like I know he likes, as I move one of my hands down his chest to his pants.
The less he thinks, the better for me. I wasn’t planning this but I need it and by the feels of it so does he, as I grew up I learned never to worry about wearing any underwear as they would just end
SCARLETT POVI am pulled out of the darkness into a sea of pain; I move, trying to make it less, but that just makes more pain flow up from my leg. I stop moving, but then I scream as another extremely sharp pain shoots through me, but this one comes from my mate mark. No... no... no... he couldn’t have… he wouldn’t have…“Nix?? Nix?? Please, No... no... Nix? Please, I can be better… I can be what you want…. Please!!! Nix!! Nix!!”I lose the connection with Phoenix as I scream again as the pain from my mark increases and is then joined by a sharp stabbing pain through my stomach… “Ruth?? Cara?? What’s going on?”I hear them scream in my head too, “We are not sure… but it seems Nix or Soren has allowed another female to put her mark over ours..”“Is the mate bond broken? Is that why it
THEODORE POV"I think I am in real trouble here, my friend!" Phoenix whispers as he passes out. I catch him so he didn't fall onto the ground. I sling him over my shoulder and head back to the leader's house, where he was nice enough to put me up for the time I am here.Once I was in the room, the leader allocated for me; I lay Phoenix on the bed and go over everything I have been told and the way everyone acted with the mention of Scarlett. Everyone here really liked Scarlett and can't wait for her next visit. The only trouble she seemed to have was a confrontation with Sharon and that was more personal as it was to do with Phoenix.Out of all the females he could have gotten mixed up with, why did it have to be Sharon. I have had my own adventure with her but never took it past talking to her. She wants closer to the higher power and has it in her mind that being the lover of a high-ranking vampire will give her that. Unfortunately, it doesn't work
PHOENIX POVI wake up with a start as a sharp pain radiates out from my mate's mark; I sit up, snap out my hand, wrapping my fingers tight around the neck of the person closest to me. I then focus and stare into the worried face of Doc Emily. "Nix! Nix, Please calm down.""Doctor Emily?? Sorry, that hurt.." I carefully remove my fingers from her neck and she takes a few steps back"I apologize. I was just having a quick feel of it. I was hoping not to cause you to wake." she rubs her neck gently."I'm really sorry, Em! I just reacted to the sudden pain. So what is your opinion?""It's fine, I understand. Do you mind if I have a better look? Can you take your shirt off?"I smile and do as she asks, taking my shirt off and moving to sit on the side of the bed, giving her access and a clear view of my mark. She moves back up next to me, looks at it, and runs her fingertips just over the skin. I flinch, but try to keep as
SCARLETT POVI wake up feeling groggy again. That bitch had drugged me again. I moved slightly, but this time the only pain I still felt was coming from my mate mark. The pain from my stomach and my leg has gone. I move my head slightly, trying not to agitate my mark and look down at my leg. I notice that the glass is gone and there is a bandage around my thigh. "Ruth??""Yes Scar""Is your protection working?""Yes, Scar, for now, it is working.""Thank you, Ruth!""Cara?""Yes Letty""How is my leg?""It is okay. Sharon is actually quite good. She managed to remove the glass and not nick the blood vein it was pressed up against, but it will still take me quite a while to repair all the damage without Ruth.""That's okay. I believe we have a bit of time
SCARLETT POVWith finding the sweats and discovering mother's scent, I have a fair idea of where I am, just not exactly. I think this is one of the abandoned houses that Leo held my mother in when he took her. It is the only way mother's scent could be on the clothes."Father?? Can you hear me?""Baby, are you okay? Has she hurt you anymore?""No, she hasn't. She removed the glass from my leg but hasn't given me any blood to replace what I have lost, so my healing is very slow... Cara is quite weak and Ruth is not much better""Baby, do you know where you are?""Yes, in a way, I think I am in one of the abandoned houses that Leo kept mother in.""How do you know that?""Because I am wearing a shirt and some sweatpants that smell like Mother, and the only way they would smell like her is if she has worn them at some stage.""Okay, we never found all the places he kept
SHARON POVI carefully climb onto the bed, kissing him as I do so. He slowly wraps his arms around me and deepens the kiss I placed on his lips. I move my hand down to his pants and quickly undo them. He rolls us over and slides himself inside me; we hiss at the same time. I quickly go back to kissing him, keeping his mind on the pleasure, not on the source. He is not the same. This is not the dominant Phoenix that I know.He is actually being loving. He is actually making love to me, thrusting his hips at a hard but even pace. I have never felt anything like this. The pleasure is wonderful, and it is building as I have never had before, so this is what I have been missing, I am used to males always taking from me, this with Phoenix now is him giving pleasure to me except I am bought back to reality when he whispers “Butterfly I love you, I have loved you more every day since you were born, please forgive me?”“Nix prove it, mark me..&rdquo
DOMINIC POVThe conversation I just had with Scarlett was weird. It was like she was hinting that Phoenix was leaving her, that he was choosing another female over her.“Excuse me! Your Highness?”“Yes Theodore”“We have Sharon Alberto. She is now in one of the cells here at the main clan house. Soren tried to get her to tell us where Scarlett was but she refused, so she is now being charged with intent to harm and harm a member of the Royal Family, the kidnapping of a member of the Royal Family and treason against the Vampire Kingdom. Sir! We will await your arrival for sentencing.”“Good, Good! I will be there shortly.”I hear a soft knock on the door as I get up from my chair in the office. I look up. “My king, are you okay? I felt an extreme wave of anger come through the mate bond.”Seraphina walks up to me and wraps her arms
PHOENIX POVI knew Caleb would give me the job of killing Sharon, as I was the reason behind her taking and hurting Scarlett in the first place. Fulfilling her sentence is how I show that my loyalty is still to my king, my kingdom and the Royal family, if I had refused to do it then I would be kneeling beside her as her accomplice and be sentenced to the same fate even with being Scarlett’s mate.When he looks at me and says, “Bring her home! Understood?”There was only one answer, of course, “Yes Sir!”We made our way out of the cells, into the kitchen to get Seraphina, Patrick, and Ethan and then headed in the direction Sharon had told us. We come across an abandoned house around where Sharon said it should be. As we get closer to the house, I notice Seraphina getting more and more tense. I move over to her and whisper,“My Queen Sera, what is it?”“This p
