PHOENIX POV

I 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?”

    PHOENIX / SOREN POV I head into the clan house, into one of the guest bedrooms, and into the bathroom. I go to the sink, turn on the tap and splash my face… Once, twice, three times, I look into the mirror and see the spot that Seraphina had told me about. I clean all the blood up. There was a nice cut along my hairline. It wasn’t deep and Soren had already stopped the bleeding, so it was just a red line now.I look down and splash my face once more, but when I look up again, I can’t control the anger that rises in me. I punch the mirror and slide down onto the floor; I pull my knees up, rest my arms across them and lay my forehead on my arms. I feel so guilty and so helpless. I should have come with her. She should have been under my protection... I didn’t notice anyone come in until a hand touched my head softly. I look up and see Seraphina. She always knows when any of us need her.“Nix, we will find her.”“S

    SCARLETT POVI wake up laying on a bed. I move my hand to my cheek and wince as a sharp pain radiates out from there.“Cara, Ruth, are we okay?”“Yes, your leg is nearly healed, but it won't take much to reopen it, so be careful. I am now really weak. I will need blood soon, Scar, or I will have to go into hibernation, so you don’t lose me altogether.” Her voice is extremely soft.“Yes Scar, it worked. I managed to keep our body from rejecting Phoenix as our mate, but I have a feeling I would be better off keeping my focus on this. It, of course, means you will not have my healing abilities to call upon any injury, for example, the new bruise on your cheek.”“That’s okay.”I get off of the bed and stretch out my leg, which is still feeling a bit sore but is a lot better than it was. I then make my way to the bathr

Can you hear me?”“Scarlett?” I get an answer from both of them.“I have been taken by a werewolf pack!”“We know, we followed the trail to Noah’s territory border, we are with Noah now, do you know where you are?”“Yes and no, I know he doesn’t have me at the proper packhouse, but it must be close by. He told me his name was Alpha Wade of the Blue Moon Pack. Father, he says he wants you and Noah to stop the peace between the species and he is going to use having me to make it happen. Father, I think he is going to try and say that Noah ordered him to find and take me or something along those lines. Please don’t believe them, no matter what Father, do not allow the peace to fail even for me…”“I understand Scarlett!” I allow a tear to escape my eyes and slide down my cheeks.“Butterfly, are you okay?”“I am okay Nix, I don’t know for how long though… I...

    TINA POVI didn't quite tell the princess the whole truth. I have met the king a couple of times as I am the Alpha's daughter. Since my mother was killed by a rogue vampire, my father has hated them all and this peace has slowly pushed him over the edge, but I need to know if there is anything to what he says or if what she says is true, I need to know the truth.I put the piece of paper into my inside zipped pocket, strip and shift. I send a quick message to my father."Dad, I am going for a run to town""Okay sweety, be back before dark. That's when all the vampires come out to steal our kind.""I will be, love you."I run and run until I reach the vampire king's territory. As soon as I cross, I have a vampire approach me; he says."I know you are no rogue, so I am assuming you are, Tina. If you could shift, I will escort you to the Grayblood clan."He surprises me by turning his back to me. No one in their right mind would turn their back on a wolf, especially one they do not know.

    SCARLETT POVI finished the other blood bag Tina left for me. Cara is now feeling a lot better and a lot stronger, but she still isn’t at full strength, and that blood still had that strange taste to it. I just hope Cara is ready for a fight because I just know from the look in that Alpha’s eyes that he is going to force himself on me. I just have to fight him as much as I can and I will, but I know he probably will eventually get the upper hand.I continue to stand at the window, looking out at the moon rising into the beautiful night sky,“Phoenix? Are you there?”“Butterfly I am always here for you.. are you okay?”“I am actually really scared... This Alpha is strong... I don’t know if I can… Cara and Ruth are weak... I don't know how long I will be able to fight him off... What if he does? Will you still want me? Will you still love me?”“Butterfly, I love you and no matter what he does! I will always love you!”“Are you sure? Nix, I wouldn’t be...”“Scarlett stop... Your mother w

As soon as we enter, Noah stands and shakes our hands.“How can I help my friends?”“We caught and punished the original person that had taken Scarlett, but now a werewolf pack has taken her, we followed their scent to your border but out of respect we didn’t cross until we had your permission to do so,” I report for Dominic“Do you know the Alpha’s name or which pack she was taken to?”“Phoenix??

    TINA POVClan leader Ricardo was nice enough to give me a room to stay in for the night. It was strange I have never felt safe sleeping in a place I don’t know, but here I had the best night's sleep I have ever had. Maybe it was because I knew that my father finally couldn't join me in the middle of the night. I had a shower and Glen’s mate Danna, I finally found out her name, lent me one of her sundresses.I exit the room and head to where Ricardo told me the kitchen was. I stand in the doorway and just watch. It was like any normal morning at the packhouse. Kids ran in and out, grabbing breakfast on the way out the door to do whatever they had planned for the day. Danna sees me and says,“Good morning Tina, would you like some breakfast before you head back to your pack?”“Yes, I would love some. What’s on offer?”“Well, we have all sorts of cereal, which the kids seem to love. We have Bacon, Eggs, Waffles, Toast, Pancakes or I can cook anything else you would like?”“Can I just hav

    TINA POV I don’t touch her other than to put a soft blanket over her. Scarlett doesn’t move. She just whimpers again and cries softly. I sit by the window and wait for Stefan; he needs to see how far Dad has fallen, maybe then I could get him to believe that he has been lying to us our entire lives, that vampires are not all bad, he is nearly there I am hoping this will tilt him over the edge and make him finally challenge and take Dad's Alpha position.True to his word, not too long later, I hear a knock on the door. I look at the bed and see Scarlett flinch, but that is all. I get up, go to the door, and open it, stating,“You are not going to like what you see.”“What do you mean, Tina? What are you doing here? What’s going on? Who is under that blanket?”"Dad told me he got a tip that the Vampire Princess Scarlett was being held in one of the abandoned packhouses somewhere along the Vampire King's territory. He sent Andy and Dan out to look for her under the ruse of scavenging, a

    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

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

I decide to tell him everything and hopefully, it will give him some time to prepare himself for it. I go to our room, but it is empty. I smile and tap into Ruth's sense of smell and take a deep breath.I follow his scent back to Father's office and then over to Theodore's; I knock lightly on the door and smile as Tina looks up from some of Theodore's paperwork."So he has you doing the things he doesn't like doing, does he?""How do you know he doesn't like doing paperwork?""Because he used to get me to do it when I was old enough to read, write and understand what he needed done. Father was the same." I laugh and she joins me."So, what can I do for you?""Have you seen Nix?""Yeah, he came past a while ago, took something out of a drawer and then left...""Oh, okay, do you know where he was g

    PHOENIX POVI felt the moment Scarlett carefully moved out of our bed, Soren was asleep, but I was not. I don't know what got into him. He has never been like that with our butterfly. He didn't even notice the change in her towards the end before he fell asleep, but I did. There is something very important and very serious that she is not telling us.Once she leaves the room, I get up, get dressed, and follow her. It doesn't surprise me when we end up at Dominic's office, as it was where she said she was going before Soren wanted her. I must remember to ask him what that was about once he wakes up again. I watch as Scarlett enters Dominic's office and wait for her to close the door. I move slowly and quietly to the door and just listen.I would give my life if I had to...
