ANGELINA“I can’t believe you’re leaving me,” I sobbed onto her shoulder.“Lina, you’re making me feel really guilty, but I can’t stay here with you,” she sniffed.“But, but,” I stuttered.“Angel, she’s got a point. The Vampire Kingdom may have not accepted her yet, but she still needs to be with Kieran,” Silas sighed.“I know,” I whined as a tear landed on the floor as I pulled away.She looked into my rainbow eyes with her green ones. “I promise we can link every day. I don’t like cell phones anyway. Besides, I’ll always be there whenever you need me.”“Promise?” I asked. I really sounded like a baby, but Dahlia has become more than a sister to me.She’s a part of me.“I promise,” she said before hugging me again.“Lil Thad in the house,” Kieran said as he walked into the room with my son in his arms. Paxton followed behind.“Mommy, why are you crying?” Paxton panicked as he ran to me. I picked him up and placed him on my hip as Silas took Thaddeus from Kieran.“Auntie Lia is moving

ANGELINAI paid for the cheese and we headed out. He’d appeared on earth from the Underworld as he put it, so we were taking my car back. He sat with Thaddeus in the back while I drove. I was beyond happy seeing them bond, and even though Thaddeus was speaking in baby language, my father just entertained him, engaging him in a conversation. He wasn’t the Dark Lord at all at the moment.He was my son’s grandfather.I parked the car in the driveway and we made our way into the house. He handed Thaddeus back because we both suspected that mom might jump him after getting over the shock of seeing him. All conversation seized as the people in the room took him in. I noticed that he made his scent and aura known, unlike at the grocery store. They were all shocked and immediately had their defences up as I held his hand. Silas looked angry more than anything.“He might want to kill me at first with the knowledge I’ve recently gained when it comes to his opinion of me.”My father’s words rung

ANGELINA'S POV“Your grandmother has approached your mother seeking help. My job as the Dark Lord is to feast on the darkness in people, and I’ve recently detected darkness amongst the Higher Powers. The Higher Powers are meant to be pure, but for some reason, that is currently not the case. Because they’re such powerful beings, it isn’t easy to detect exactly where the darkness is. It took me a whole three centuries to detect the darkness in the first place. With the Higher Powers contaminated the supernatural world as we know it is unstable. Celestina isn’t the only Higher Power missing. Her sister Celeste, the Higher Power of Time, is also missing. The two of them are the only two who have the ability to see everyone’s future and set everyone’s destiny. With the two of them absent, questions cannot be answered. The trouble hasn’t been noticed by many, but your grandmother is very vigilant,” he continued.“So, there’s trouble both on earth and Lexius? Do we know if it’s connected?”

ANGELINA“Oh my heavens! What are the four of you doing here? If Axel knows about this, I don’t even want to know,” my grandmother panicked.“If he didn’t sense us now, he’ll never be able to,” my father pointed out.“What do you mean?” she asked.“We’ve been here since he told you that he didn’t think that you of all people would betray him,” my mother explained.“So, you heard all of that? How did you know that you would find me here?” she asked.“The kids’ wolves made us aware that Axel would discover that you’re investigating your theory. When Lucia couldn’t reach you through link, we knew he’d already gotten to you so we came as quickly as we could,” my father explained.My grandmother scowled. “How?”“Mom hid our presence, dad teleported us here, I hid us visually, and Silas hid our scents,” I replied. She stared at me for a while.“You really are beautiful Angelina and I’m sorry that I played a part in keeping your parents away from you. Will you ever be able to forgive me?” sh

DAHLIAWe took a shower together and got dressed before he took me down to the kitchen. We passed by so many room and went through so many hallways that I would get lost for sure. I sat on the seat at the island as he moved around the kitchen making me breakfast.I watched as all his muscles flexed as he moved gracefully. His hair was tied back and he would bite his lip when he was concentrating really hard on something. I was entranced until a voice broke me out of thought.“Kiki! Why didn’t you tell me you were back?” a voice I recognized as Natalia Medici screeched. Before Kieran even had time to react, she had her lips on his, making me growl really loudly.“Oh, it’s you,” she sneered when she noticed my presence.“Don’t you EVER touch my mate again or I will not hesitate to rip you to shreds,” I growled menacingly. I was sure my eyes were black. Kieran’s eyes blackened from lust.“Your mate? Werewolves and vampires don’t mate idiot,” Natalia scoffed. Clearly someone isn’t up to d
