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
PHOENIX/SOREN POVOnce we got into Noah’s territory, we were escorted straight to his home. We exit the car and head inside. Seraphina goes and finds Serenity while we head to Noah’s office. 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?? Father?? Can you hear me?”“Scarlett?”“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, he doesn’t have me at the packhouse, but it must be close by. He told me his name was Alpha Wade of the Blue Moon Pack.”I allow Scarlett to talk to Dominic privately. When she has finished talking to him,
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
TINA POVI turn on the shower, wait for it to warm and motion for her to enter, “He’s your brother, he looks like the Alpha… is he his son?? Does that mean you are?..”I sigh, “Yes he is the Alpha’s son and I am his daughter..” She tenses“But we are not like him. He has tried to shape us the way he wants, especially to hate vampires, but there are things we do not agree with him on and an example of that is how he treated you last night. He told you he hadn’t been with anyone for twenty years, didn’t he?”“Y... Yes, just before he stripped me of my sweatpants... And then again when he released his pleasure.” I see her shiver.“I can tell you it was not twenty years ago. It was a couple of days, more or less. He does it to nearly every female he can get his hands on, and if no one else is available, he prefers to use me. Stefan has tried to protect me from him but can’t be with me twenty-four hours a day. I am sorry he did this to you.”“You said you did as I asked, so what is your ve
ALPHA WADE POVI punch her in the stomach, the ribs and the jaw. She knows I don’t tolerate disrespect or talking back.“Remember your place daughter of mine… Go get that lip seen too and I will come see you later for more of your punishment!”I can't help it. I have to slap her once more, show her who is the boss.“Do you treat all your females like that? With such disrespect?”The little princess seems to have recovered some of her fight. Good!“I am the Alpha of this pack and I can do what I want to anyone I want. Tina, go. Little miss princess and I have some things to discuss.”I watch out of the corner of my eye as she does what she is told and finally leaves; I move back over to the door and lock it. I don’t want anyone just walking in, even though no one should be here. I can’t take the chance on that or that the princess might get away from me.“So do you have your fight back, little princess? Last night was fun, and I will have you again before the day is out.”“I have enoug
TINA POVWhile Alpha and Stefan are out on the rogue call, King Noah arrives.“Your Highness! Thank you for coming!” I bow before him.“Tina, it is good to see you again…. Tina, come closer, please!”I take a couple of steps closer. I lower my eyes as my wolf demands me to respect our King. He puts his fingers under my chin and gets me to look up at him.“So if this is how he treats his daughter… Tina, how is he treating Princess Scarlett?”I lower my eyes again. “I’m sorry, Your Highness, I couldn’t protect her last night… Scarlett asked me to visit a vampire clan to show me that what Alpha Wade says about them is not the truth...”“It is okay. Tina, I was with King Dominic when Scarlett asked for permission for you to do that. Where is he holding her?”“He is keeping her at the old packhouse, as no one likes going there after my mother was killed.”“Tina? We are on our way back now… I just know Alpha is going to want to go straight for the princess as soon as he gets the chance... I
