*MELODY* I never expected to get a mate. I never thought finding my way to Delaney would award me with someone as handsome as Kylo.. And let’s not even talk about how my first time went. Melina must have had more to do with that than I care to admit. But I do not regret a thing. I accepted Kylo as my mate. It doesn't feel like I thought it would. This sense of overwhelming love that encases my whole body like a warm fire. The feeling of being fully protected inside and out. Keeping my heart out of harm's way. I hate to say it, but any woman who would reject him is a complete fool. Kylo and I just finished showering. He kept to his word, this time at least. He was the perfect gentleman. Not only that, but he groomed me, kissed me and took care of my exhausted body. I just threw on some black skinny jeans, a white nirvana shirt and threw my black and silver hair into a messy bun. I only ever wear mascara, so I won't stop now. I walk out of the closet in my room that Delaney let m

*DELANEY* Watching Lord Drake appear out of a cloud of red smoke in a black business suit. The man is pretty good looking. Thick black hair, such dark blue eyes they could be passed for black. The same height as my Orion. But not quite as buff.  He just told us he's going to help us find Carina and Levi. "Wait a damn minute. Lord Drake, Melody told us that her parents forced her into child labor to work off a debt... And she's one of my best friends, and I don't think I want your fucking help if that's the kind of thing you and her mother do.." I'm a little pissed off but I'm trying to not be completely disrespectful.  

*DELANEY*As soon as I spoke to Diana and she told me that her force field was being attacked. She was frantic and unsure if she could hold them off much longer. The fear of not knowing if the man she is mated to is really my brother, an almost paralyzing feeling to say the least, and the fact that he could possibly die before I even get the chance to get the answers I need. I know that waiting on everyone to join the fight is impractical. Orion wants a plan, Kylo and Terrin will want a recon team. Levi will want to take as many into battle, which will mean they have to gather supplies and what not. And I just don’t think we have that kind of time. I just ran, there was nothing else I could do but let Orion know where i was going and why and go as fast as my limbs would take me.But I just started to find these missing pieces to my past and my family. There is no way I could sit back while one of them is under attack and I have the ability to stop it. As I am running, I can feel ey

*MELODY*  I left Diana because I knew Dr. Summer would be able to help him. And Delaney will be able to heal him when we get back. But I couldn't stay away from Kylo knowing he was facing basically an army of vampires and a dark witch. I shimmered back into the kitchen where I shimmered before and it was in ruins. There were ashes everywhere. Body parts slung all around the little house Diana and her mate lived in. Walls were missing inside. There was a huge gaping hole in the roof that was on fire. Electrical wires dangling from the ceiling and sparking from holes in the wall.  The fear coursing through my veins is only increasing by the second. I want to try to mind link my mate, or Delaney or even Orion. But I'm terrified to not get a response. Or worse, to find them amongst the dead.  

*CARINA*My body is aching. Every muscle feels like it is on fire. My head is throbbing as if I have been punched repeatedly. Why am I feeling like this? There isn't any reason why I should be feeling like this. Even some of Levi’s and I's “rough nights” I never wake up feeling like this. And that is saying something cause the man is a literal beast. I try to move my hands to wipe my eyes. I can't get my hands to my face. What the hell?I try to lift my arms from next to me. They feel like they weigh a ton. Why are they so heavy? I finally flutter my eyes open and wherever I am the room is completely black. I realize my hands are not by my body but above my head. I feel shackles on my wrists. I try to open my mouth and holler for Levi but I can't get anything out of my mouth. I start frantically looking around. Now that I am awake a little more, I can make out a little more of what is going on in the room. It looks like a cellar of some sort. I see a small bare cot in the corner. I
