Sunstone - Tainted by Enemy's Blood Chapter 21
Joffrey’s POV After everything we had been through together these past couple of days, I would have thought that she could see through my facade of just wanting to be friends, but she was still holding onto the lie that we had told each other the night that we met at her ball. I had already caved once from the little act, stealing a kiss from her that haunts me every time I look at her, at the possibility of what could be between us, if she would just let her own guards down and trust me.There was an undeniable pull that I could feel in the depts of my soul towards her from the moment my eyes laid on hers, telling me that she was the one, but as I watched her that night at the party, I could clearly see she was just as lost in this world as I was. I sensed right away that she was different like myself, but even as I open up to her, telling her my secrets, she remains a closed book, unwilling to let me in.Unfortunately, without the knowledge of why she was being targe

Angelica’s POV My hand moved to my head, as it literally felt like it was going to explode, while I tried to open my eyes, but I was instantly blinded by the sunlight peering into the room. Sitting up in bed, I quickly realized that I was no longer in the hotel room, but an actual bedroom at someone’s house.Fear at that moment raced throughout my body, as my last memories came flooding back to me, with his haunting words echoing in my head. Once again, I had allowed him to violate me, this time even getting close enough to touch me, and my skin began to crawl just thinking about it.The sound of a click drew my attention towards the door, and I raced to remove the covers from on top of me, while I watched the doorknob begin to turn. Finally releasing myself from them, I got to my feet, raising my hands in front of me, ready to take down whoever walked through that door. As the door began to slowly open, I called upon my powers, and my hands began to gl

Angelica’s POV My eyes widened as Uncle Tristan walked into the room with a very stern look on his face, making me wonder how much Joffrey had told him, and how much he had told Joffrey, as I look between the two of them, now both staring at me. Uncle Tristan was the one to break the awkward silence by saying, “Angelica, do you know how worried your parents are right now? Do you know how much of your father’s resources are being used to find you? They think you were taken, and here I find out that you took it upon yourself to go rogue, hunting the individual that is hunting you on your own. You’re lucky to still be alive.” My head lowered knowing how disappointed he was in me and knowing now all the worry I had put my parents through. I should have realized that my parents would have exhausted their resources trying to find me, but honestly, I had done this to protect them. “Although I am infuriated with your poor decisio

Angelica’s POV “I am sorry that I brought you here, but you left me no other choice.” Joffrey says as he moves in front of me, obviously seeing me now looking as if I lost all hope, but I wasn’t upset with him, because now we knew there was a possibility that whoever this was that was violating me, he was doing it to others with powers too. If anything, Joffrey may have saved my life, because there was no telling what powers this individual had collected before and after me. With my lack of response to what he had just said, he then says to me, “Can’t you see that I am trying my best to protect you, which isn’t the easiest job when you are keeping secrets from me.” My head snapped up at that moment to look at him, and even though I could see desperation in his eyes, his words now upset me, because I wasn’t the only one that had been keeping secrets. “Secrets? I am not the only one here keeping them.” I told him, wanting him to know that

Angelica’s POV Unfortunately, Uncle Tristan’s home was like a maze, and I found myself lost within its walls, trying to find him. One would think that there would be an immense amount of help around with a home of this magnitude, but the place seemed to be deserted, giving me an eerie feeling. It was clear that Uncle Tristan had placed me as far away from everyone else within the home, obviously to keep me safe, but right now, a map of the house would have been nice, so I could at least find the kitchen. Finally, I came upon a massive staircase, and as I began to race down it, the sound of voices drew near, telling me that I was heading in the right direction to someone that could point me towards my uncle. With only one flight of stairs to go, I could now see who those voices were coming from, and of all the people it could have been, it was Joffrey speaking with someone. His head immediately turned in my direction, as I made my way to

Angelica’s POV Thankfully, the VIN number was present on the insurance information I had found, and before I knew it Joffrey had a site pulled up on his phone, but as he typed the numbers in, we both stood there staring at the map pulled up in shock. “Isn’t that your Aunt Rosa’s restaurant?” I asked Joffrey, making sure I was reading the location right. “Yeah, but she promised me she would leave town immediately.” Joffrey said, and I could hear the worry now in his voice, knowing that his aunt might be in trouble too. Even though I had tried my best to keep Joffrey out of all of this and keep him in the dark about what was really going on, fate seemed to have other plans, but I couldn’t shake the feeling that this was all my fault. Closing out the map, Joffrey tried to call his Aunt Rosa, but I could hear the call going straight to voice mail. Once again, he tried her number, but he still had no luck, and

Angelica’s POV As I began to move towards the elevator, Joffrey grabs ahold of my hand, steering me towards a thick metal door. Once again, Joffrey swipes the card he had used to get into the parking garage, gaining entry through the door. “What is this?” I asked Joffrey, as lights began to turn on down a long narrow tunnel, making me feel like I was in the twilight zone. “It’s a tunnel that my grandfather built many moons ago to access both his businesses, so he could easily maneuver between them without having to use the busy sidewalks above. Only my family knows about this tunnel, so we should be able to gain access to my aunt’s restaurant without anyone noticing us.” Joffrey explained to me, and I wondered why the other night he didn’t use the tunnels to take me to his aunt’s restaurant, but then I realized that it was before his secrets were outed to me. Making our way through the tunnel, I held tightly onto his hand

Angelica’s POV Thankfully Joffrey wasn’t kept in the dark like myself, with my uncle’s business in the city, as he was able to have a vamp doctor meet us at my uncle’s house to help with the vamp that I had found, that was hanging on for his life. As soon as the doctor saw him, he verified right away that the vamp was indeed one of my uncle’s men, telling me that my intuition about him was right. Unfortunately, now it was a waiting game for him to wake up from the injuries that he had sustained, and I could see that Joffrey was growing impatient knowing that his aunt’s life was in the hands of a mad man. “Is there something I can do to help?” I asked Joffrey, as he rummaged through my uncle’s files, trying to obviously find anything that could help us with finding his aunt and my uncle. “Unfortunately, there isn’t one damn file that pertains to what’s been going on here in the city.” Joffrey said, as he throws the file down on the desk,

Angelica’s POV My Uncle Bishop and my father began to move around the ballroom trying each of the doors for themselves, but none of them would open, making me wonder if it was my turn again in this game the heir was playing with us. How many trials of fear was the heir going to make us face, and was this game he was playing with us ever going to end? Fear began to sink into me, that this was our hell, and that we were going to be trapped in it for the rest of eternity, as I stood in the middle of the ballroom floor, deciding on which door to pick. Letting go of Joffrey’s hand, I moved to the back of the ballroom to the door that led outside, hoping that it was the door that would lead us out of this hell of a game. But as I took a deep breath, and placed my hand on the handle, I realized quickly that the handle wasn’t moving, making me wonder what game the heir was playing with us now. I wanted to scream out in frustration, but I held it
Sunstone - Tainted by Enemy's Blood Chapter 92
Angelica’s POV I knew by the look on Joffrey’s face that he was scared to see what lay on the other side of the door, but we had no other choice, as the debris continued to fall through the hole, pushing us to face it. This time my father grabbed a hold of my arm, pulling me in front of him, as Joffrey finally opened the door and stepped inside. Stepping through the door to join Joffrey, I wondered what his worst fear could have been, but as my eyes focused on the room around me, I was stunned to see where I was standing. Joffrey stood in silence with his head down in the middle of the ballroom at my parents’ house, as if he was ashamed to look at anyone, making me wonder why or how the night of my ball could have been his biggest fear. It was definitely one of my own, because it was the night that the heir had first violated me by siphoning my powers, but I didn’t understand how it was his. “Well, isn’t this interesting.” My father says
Sunstone - Tainted by Enemy's Blood Chapter 91
Angelica’s POV As my father opened the front door, a white light beamed into the cabin, before my father stepped into the light, without a second of hesitation, knowing with what I had just said, that the door would lead him to my mother. But as we stepped through the door, unfortunately my mother was nowhere in sight, and we stood in what looked like a basement, with a huge hole in the floor above our heads. A growl instantly radiated from my father, and my Uncle Bishop quickly moved to his side to comfort him, knowing that my father failed to take us to my mother, even though I know he tried. It was clear his darkest fear still lay there the night he thought he had lost my mother to Tyler, and that was where the heir had taken us with the little game he was playing. “There is still hope. We are now inside the house. Maybe the heir is somewhere inside the house with them.” My Uncle Bishop tells my father with hope, but I knew that was a

Angelica’s POV “What the bloody hell?” Joffrey asks, as he quickly moves to my side, while my father says, “This is impossible.” As he races towards the window, peering outside. “I don’t understand. How are we in my cabin?” My Uncle Bishop asks, while he begins to look around, moving from room to room, as if he was looking for something. Moving away from the window, my father begins to shake his head, and I can see the dread in his eyes, thinking that we were hundreds of miles away from my mother, but in reality, I knew we weren’t, or at least I prayed we weren’t. A loud click came from behind us, making us all turn to see my Uncle Bishop coming out of his bedroom with a shotgun in his hand, while he says, “This mother fucker wants to play games, then games are what we will play.” Just as those words came from his lips, there was a knock on the front door, making us all turn to now look at it, as a voice e
Sunstone - Tainted by Enemy's Blood Chapter 89
Angelica’s POV The brighter light that we had seen at the end of the tunnel we were in only proved itself to be a mouth that opened to three new tunnels and a choice that needed to be made. My father and my Uncle Bishop stood before the three tunnels arguing with each other on which tunnel they should take, knowing that time was precious, and my mother was somewhere here on the grounds, or even beneath the ground like we were. Stepping away from Joffrey, I moved in front of the first tunnel, closing my eyes, as I opened my senses, trying to sense the heir’s powers, as I focused down that particular tunnel, but felt nothing. Slowly, I moved to the next tunnel doing the same thing as they continued to contemplate which tunnel to take, but I still felt nothing, making me think that I was stupid to think that I could figure this out for them. I was about to give up, as my father was insisting on taking the first tunnel, when I felt a slight
Sunstone - Tainted by Enemy's Blood Chapter 88
Angelica’s POV Stepping through the front door, it didn’t take me long to realize that we had just stepped through a portal, and we were no longer above the earth’s surface, but in what looked like a caving system, deep beneath the ground. “What the hell?” Joffrey said, as he held my hand tightly in his, pulling me back towards him, while the two of us took in our dimly lit new surroundings. Just up ahead of us, I faintly could make out the silhouettes of my father and my Uncle Bishop, as the two of them move towards a more predominant light at the end of the tunnel we were now standing in. Taking a deep breath, I began to slightly cough, as the air seemed stale to me, like it had no ventilation to the fresh air on the earth’s surface, making me wonder how deep beneath the surface we were. Knowing that we needed to keep up with my father and my uncle, I went to take a step forward but found myself reaching for the wall of

Angelica’s POV “Let’s keep going.” My father said turning as he began to walk towards the front gates, with my Uncle Bishop by his side, as Joffrey stood there waiting for me along with Ambrogio. I knew I couldn’t keep this revelation to myself, as I was now sure that the telus the heir had still was working at full capacity. If I let all of them walk in there without this knowledge, I was possibly leading them all to their deaths, and I couldn’t do that. “Wait!” I called out, stopping my father and my uncle from taking another step, as they both turned and looked in my direction. Now that everyone was staring at me, I had to find a way to tell them that the telus was still working, without telling them everything that I now knew, which was going to be hard to do. “Something isn’t right.” I finally said, making Joffrey move closer to my side, as if he was trying to protect me from what I was about to say.
Sunstone - Tainted by Enemy's Blood Chapter 86
Angelica’s POV Unfortunately, the bliss from our union only lasted its duration, as reality came rushing back this time like a freight train, while I realized we no longer had the upper hand on the heir. We were now heading to his territory, and on his terms, and he had hostages, making me pray that I had the strength to overcome what was needed from me. My mind was on overdrive trying to piece everything that had happened together, knowing that it all had to have a symbolic meaning to his plan, but what I couldn’t understand was the whole Talon and reversal of the spell of the telus. I mean the reversal spell had to have worked, I had felt my own powers returned to me that he had taken from me, but it didn’t make sense to me. Now that we knew that his plan was to resurrect his father, I would have thought that he needed as much power as he possibly could to perform whatever spell he was planning to use. By him giving up the power of the

Angelica’s POV “I would travel to the ends of the world as long as it was with you.” I finally admitted to Joffrey, as I secretly prayed that we got the chance to do this, because I knew this was his dream, and the fact that he wanted me to be a part of it made it even more special. “That was the answer I was hoping for.” He whispers to me before his lips crash against my own, sending sparks of electricity throughout my entire body. It was crazy how my body reacted to his touch, another part of my greatest grandmother’s blessing I assumed to her creations, to never fall out of love with each other, making me wonder if her own love still ran this deep for Ambrogio after all these moons. Something though told me it did, or why else would she continue to bless her creations with a mate to love them unconditionally. Joffrey slowly pulled from the kiss, as he stared into my eyes, and says to me, “Something is plaguing your tho
