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

SHARON POVI carefully climb onto the bed, kissing him as I do so. He slowly wraps his arms around me and deepens the kiss I placed on his lips. I move my hand down to his pants and quickly undo them. He rolls us over and slides himself inside me; we hiss at the same time. I quickly go back to kissing him, keeping his mind on the pleasure, not on the source. He is not the same. This is not the dominant Phoenix that I know.He is actually being loving. He is actually making love to me, thrusting his hips at a hard but even pace. I have never felt anything like this. The pleasure is wonderful, and it is building as I have never had before, so this is what I have been missing, I am used to males always taking from me, this with Phoenix now is him giving pleasure to me except I am bought back to reality when he whispers “Butterfly I love you, I have loved you more every day since you were born, please forgive me?”“Nix prove it, mark me..&rdquo

PHOENIX POVI 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?”“This p

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

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.
