SILAS POVI actually never got a reprimand from Marcus for that day, so I guess Clementine must have left the office and avoided him for at least a couple of days. I return to the present just as I hear Marcus let out a low growl, telling me he has just reached his release once again. He allows her to fall to the bed and climbs off. As he approaches me, he whispers."She has had enough for now. It's no fun if she doesn't fight back or respond to what we do. Let's go and have a drink and something to eat while she rests. We can then continue with her in a few hours."I nod, turn as he does and leave the room, heading with him to his office, where we go over the fun we just had with her.SCARLETT POVThey haven't stopped for three days. I fought both of them or should I say the three of them, as much as I could, it's not hard to tell when it's Silas or Wrath as Wrath enjoys the rougher stuff more but as soon as Wrath was exhausted, Marcus would start

PHOEBE / CLEMENTINE POV Again I struggle as he brings his lips down hard onto mine, kissing me with extremely uncontrolled dominance. I place my hands on his chest and push as hard as I can, but it has no effect. He doesn't move, as all the strength that I had from the rage and bloodlust was now gone."I will touch you whenever and however I like! My Queen!""Marcus, you are not being fair...""I know you don't think I love you, but my Queen, you are wrong. I may not feel all of the mate bond, but I do love you...." "Noo! You can't do this to me now... I hate you!!! I want to hate you!!! You can't..." I fist my hands and bang them on his chest as much as I can. As he continues to kiss me as I cry. In all the years we have been together, he has never told me he loves me. The anger and fight then drain out of me and I give control back to Clementine.

(RYKER) CHRISTOPHER POVI walk into the woods, strip my clothes, put them in a pile, and hid them under some bushes. I shift and pass control over to Christopher.I finish stretching out from the shift, and then I take a deep breath. I search through all the scents and find Isabella's. Once I find it, I take off running. I follow it until I reach a lake. I stop at the edge of the clearing and scan the meadow between me and the water. I find Zoey swimming in the water. I smile to myself and slowly stalk my way to the water's edge so that when she swims close to me, I jump in on top of her and dive under the water. When I come back to the surface, I come face to face with Zoey. She nips at my nose and then swims away, heading to the shore.I watch as she gets out of the water, shakes the excess off her fur, and then lies down on the grass nearby. I then followed her out of the water and onto t

PHOENIX POVI have been kept busy, we have been having more and more rogue attacks against the outer clans of the kingdom, which increased even more after Ryker left and over the last few months. So I have been travelling with Dominic and Sebastian and as Theodore is still off on assignment in one of the other kingdoms, keeping our alliance with them strong. We have Victoria travelling with us in his place.She is actually really good. Theodore made a good choice in training her as his successor. I am currently sitting in one of the briefing rooms of the BlueWaterBlood clan, listening to Dominic hold one of the many meetings we have been having to work out how to get on top of these attacks but I can't concentrate and Soren is restless making low hissing sounds in my head.I think of Scarlett for the up-tenth time, as she is never far from my thoughts. I always have my mate link open to her. I have never once in all the years she has been gone blocked or closed it. I know he did somet

PRINCE WILLIAM POVI am surprised when I get a call from my father telling me that Nathaniel needs me for some special king training at one of the vampire clans, I actually jump at the chance as all my training to take my father's place has been in the werewolf packs, so some time in a vampire clan would be interesting to compare how different they are run. I, with Claire as she is with me on this trip and travel to the MoonBlood clan where Nathaniel is waiting for us. It takes us three days to get there and of course, as soon as we get there Claire has to go to the town and check out the stores and do some shopping, not that I mind as it allows me to catch up with Nathaniel as I haven't seen him in a while, especially after his sister went missing. We chat as we watch Claire have fun. You wouldn't think she was nearly thirty years old with the amount of joy and excitement she let out as she goes from store to stor
