SCARLETT POV
SHARON POVWell, that didn’t go exactly as I thought, but I still got what I wanted and I haven’t had pleasure like that since Soren. I go and meet up with the other male and let him know what junction to be sitting near and that I will let him know once she leaves. I then make my way back towards the building with the office she is working in. It doesn’t take long before she comes out and gets into the SUV.I follow at a distance, place a call and watch as the other car crashes into the princess’s SUV, making it flip over two, three, four times before it comes to a rest in the paddock down and just off the road. I approach the accident scene carefully, wouldn’t want anyone to know I was here. The two guards traveling with the princess are dead, killed in the accident itself. The other car with four more guards in has stopped up the road and is making their way back to the princess. I look over
PHOENIX POVPatrick and Ethan run around the area in an ever-expanding cycle. They stop a couple of times but always go back to where I worked out the extra car was. They moved out in a semicircle from where the extra car was but only get so far before they were sneezing and shaking their heads...“My Queen?” I look over at her with worry.“They keep losing the scent after a few feet.”“The unknown female must be a very high-ranked vampire within her clan. It's the only way she would be able to disguise her scent and cover Scarlett’s as well.”“Dom! I don’t want to leave Scarlett out here or in anyone’s hands, but it's getting late. The rogues will be out in force soon. We must either return to the castle or go to the closest clan. Which way are we going?”“My Lady? Your choice. It is safer at the castle. Theodore is at the nearest clan looking to see
SHARON /VERA POVHe 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
