SCARLETT POV
He leans in, closing the gap between our lips, and kisses me gently. I move my arms so they are now around his neck as he rolls us slightly, so he is laying over me but not on top of me. He slowly adds more dominance to the kiss, tightening his arms, pulling me closer and more underneath him. I tense and open my eyes as he pulls back. Breaking the kiss, he moves one of his hands to my cheek.“Relax Butterfly, I will not take it further until you are ready.”I relax, and he starts kissing me again. This time he moves his kisses down the side of my neck and whispers, “May I Butterfly?”“Yes!” I move my head slightly allowing him more room as I feel his fangs lengthen, he slides them lightly over my skin before sinking them in slowly, then retracting them and drinking, I let out a mix of a moan, a growl, and a hiss as the pleasure from him drinking spreads through my body, it takes me by surprise because it has never felt like this before.I shiver as he swipes his tongue over my skin, sealing it. He smiles against my skin as he whispers again, “Was that nice? Butterfly?”“That was better than nice. How can you drinking give me that much pleasure? It didn’t before. Why now?”“Scarlett, your wolf can now feel the mate bond between us and is liking the connection of our touch, so from now on any of the simple things we used to do like drinking will now be accompanied by pleasure and tonight because of the effect the blood moon has on mated and unmated couples everything is heightened even more.”“Soren do you mind if I???”“You can just don’t linger too long drinking, as the pleasure it will give me will make it even harder to fight off the pull to make you mine and complete the mating process... I don't know if I would be able to continue to fight it...”I tense at his words but nod as my fangs lengthen. He tilts his head to the side, allowing me access to his neck. I sink my fangs in, retract them, and drink. I hear him hiss and he tightens his arms around me a little more. I do as he says and only take a small amount before I swipe my tongue over my bite, sealing his skin again.I take a deep breath and let out a mix of a growl, a hiss, and a moan. I feel him laugh as he goes to pull back. I don’t expect it, but I tighten my arms and don’t allow him to move as both my fangs and canines lengthen. Both Cara and Ruth wanted to mark what is theirs. I scrape them at the junction of his shoulder and neck. I hear him hiss low and whisper into my ear, “Butterfly, you can mark me! This is a natural part of mating, don’t be scared.”With his permission, I sink both my fangs and canines into the junction at his shoulder, making him hiss out loud. I retract my fangs, then my canines as I swipe my tongue over my mark. He shivers again as he pulls back and looks me in the eyes; he doesn’t say anything but flicks his eyes from mine down to my lips and back again. I smile and give him a small nod, to which he then smiles and goes back to kissing me.I run my hands over his chest and down to the edge of his shirt. I nervously pull up on his shirt, taking it up and over his head, breaking our kiss just long enough for him to remove it from his head. He pulls me over and up just a bit so he can do the same to me. I shiver as his fingers skim the bare skin on the side of my ribs, sending sparks everywhere. As soon as my shirt is off my head, he is back to kissing me. He holds me tight and rolls us back so I am now fully underneath him.Soren runs kisses from my lips down my neck and over my chest, moving his hands down to my waist. I arch my back as pleasure runs through me, but I also start to tense as I realize what he is doing. He uses the pleasure he is causing to completely remove my pants, while he still runs his hands over my bare skin. I tense and start to cover myself, feeling a little shy all of a sudden. He moves quickly, moving back up so he is again kissing my lips, and then my neck until he is whispering into my ear “It's okay Butterfly, just relax and trust me... You are beautiful!”“Soren, please… I’m scared… I don’t know if I can...”“If you want to stop Butterfly we will, here just relax and lay with me.”He moves off of me, rolling onto his side, taking me with him. He just lays there and holds me tight to him. I move my hands to his chest and listen as he hisses and arches his back a little from the pleasure. He removes his arms from around me for a few seconds before returning them tightly around me. I relax into his hold as he kisses me softly again. I run my hands up his chest and around his neck. He deepens the kiss, using more dominance as he turns us again, so I am back underneath him. As he moves his knees between my legs, I realize he has at some point removed his pants too. I tense a little again with a whimper. He seems to ignore it as he moves his kisses to my neck and makes his way down to the junction between my neck and shoulder, he sucks on the spot for his mark, making me arch my back as pleasure and sparks run through me, he pulls away from my skin and whispers “Butterfly can I mark you? I need you! Can I finally make you mine?”SCARLETT POVIt took me a long time to come to terms with Phoenix’s death, but if it wasn’t for H and Phoenix’s twins, I would have followed him. As I stand watching my three-year-old daughters Opal and River sleep H comes up behind me and wraps his arms around my waist and my big stomach, placing soft butterfly kisses along the back of my shoulder and up my neck until he gets to my ear and whispers “My princess, what are you thinking about? You are sending waves of sadness along the mate bond” I sigh and lean back into him as I answer, “I was just thinking about when I gave birth to these two and that I wouldn’t have continued on if you weren’t there. You never let me give up and you continued to love me even after we found out that Ruth didn’t survive the severing of the mate bond and that Cara had gone into permanent hibernation, making me a human.” “Scarlett, you were and are more to
H POVI have been watching over Scarlett for the last three weeks since I brought her here from the training field after the fight like I did when she was attacked in King Noah's territory. Everyone has come in at some stage. The King and Queen both come in at random times, both together and on their own, to check and sit with her.Doc Teresa comes in to make sure she is fine medically, giving her fluids and blood so we don't lose her that way, but she is not sure when she will or if she will ever wake up. Doc also confirmed to the King and Queen that Scarlett was indeed pregnant and carrying Phoenix's twins, my vampire didn't like that she was but we agreed that until we could get her to love us more, they would probably be the only thing that will keep her from following him.Tina comes in and sits with her the most. I think she has something she wants to share with her. Tina and Theodore had just left after spending an hour sitting next to her bed. I had just
( This is the start of the Alternative ending, and I will warn you that this chapter starts just over halfway through chapter 140, so yes there is some repeat but what is to follow is what would have happened if H and Wrath had decided not to accept Scarletts offer and had in fact carried out exactly what Scarlett was seeing in her vision. You do not need to read the next 3 chapters, including this one, as the series continues on from chapter 141.)H POVAs soon as Scarlett gets to the edge of the ring of people that are now watching us, I see the moment Phoenix's attention shifts off of me and he looks at her. I take advantage and punch him hard in the ribs, using my vampire for the first time in this fight.I break about four and fracture another two. I also make two cuts on his neck with my second hit, only just nicking his main artery. I could have killed him then, but he still has a little fight in him and I want to see what Scarlett will do now she i
SCARLETT POV I have been with H for seven months and while he had us travelling, he finally introduced me to his vampire Wrath, I managed to convince them to allow me to keep my babies, well at least have him not kill them before they are born. H even allowed me to go with him to one of the towns where I found two beautiful butterfly bracelets. They will expand as they get older so they can always wear them, I had an O engraved on one and an R engraved on the other I found out the day of the fight, the day I gave everything up to save Phoenix’s life, that I was pregnant again. I had just come from seeing Teresa. I was having twin daughters, and I was on my way to tell Phoenix the good news when I heard the commotion of the fight. My labour started not that long ago and H has gone to get the Doctor. No one in this clan knows who I am. They only know what H or Wrath has told them. As far as they know, we are mated lovers, but the babies aren’t his, as I was attacked just before our ma
H POVJust after I move my hand to her throat, I see a couple of the guards take a few steps closer to us, so I pull her tighter to me so I can whisper into her ear"Tell them all to back off and allow us to pass or I will not honour our deal and I will throw you and kill him.""Stand down and allow us to leave!" she says quietlyI knew Mike had to be here somewhere; he like me, had become Phoenix and Scarlett's personal guards, so where ever they went we went too. He takes a couple more steps forward as he says,"But your highness we can't allow him to leave with you...""You can and you must... Now please stand down!"Scarlett surprises me that she answered him without me telling her to. I watch as Mike nods to Scarlett and then to the other guards standing near us. They all step back. I lean my lips onto her shoulder and smile as I whisper,"Good girl, time to go!"I then move us slowly over to the edge of the woods, stop and move the arm I have around her waist, reach around to my
H POV It takes the sedative maker a week to get back to me saying my order will be arriving any day, that he had managed to make a serum that contained silver and wouldn't kill or knock out either a vampire or werewolf, it would just separate the vampire or werewolf from the human. The other good part about it is that it doesn't need to be injected. I can mix it with either his food, drink or even his blood and he wouldn't know the difference. The only problem I have at the moment is how to get just Phoenix to have it and not include Scarlett. A couple of days after I received the silver serum, an opportunity opened up for me to use it. I put half of the silver serum into a water bottle that was exactly the same as Phoenix's. I met up with Phoenix in the training field. I discreetly swap out his bottle and then enjoy a good sparring match with him. By the time we have finished, we are both breathing heavily and exhausted. I scull my water and I watch with a small smile as Phoenix
