All Chapters of The Beta and The Mafia Princess: Chapter 41 - Chapter 47

James All hell had broken loss in the cavern. Thank Goddess I was still technically on drugs or I may have felt the situation completely overwhelming. Marcus was bleeding badly but as a vampire he would live, but he was down. Sage had just vanished, I knew her better then to assume she had just bolted. Ben was doing most the damage having shifted first. My eyes were locked on Gigi as I pulled myself to my feet. She wasn’t looking at anything happening in the room instead she had both feet planted against the black raised dish Emilio had placed her blood in. Holding her bleeding wrist tightly against her chest, in an effort to reduce the blood loss as it ran down her arm and hit the dirt beneath her. She braced herself again in vain against the black marble column. I could see the effort on her face, as I stumbled towards her holding my ribs. I had made it more than a few steps when I spotted Emilio, he had moved to where Maria was. She regained some sort of awareness and was fighting

JamesMy soul left my body when Gigi, swung her leg tossing Don Emilio onto his back. He was briefly stunned as my mate then moved quickly straddling him to the dusty ground and pinning him under her body weight. I was a warrior long enough to know that something was different about the way Gigi moved but there was only so many times she would have the momentum over Don Emilio. She had a feral determination now. She swung her arm and something glinted in the air as it sliced across the fallen Don’s face. For the first time since this whole ordeal began I saw a flash of fear there. He cried out, the shard I could see now in Gigi’s hand covered with his blood. Blood that now dripped from the piece she welded. He roared and tossed her back and she was flung like a rag doll into the stone alter behind her. Maria cried out for her sister and Gigi fought against the power of the collision to stay awake. I could see the wobble of her body as she willed herself not to pass out against the pain

Sage.I heard her words my mothers words and when Marcus took the blade for me I took my chance and vanished onto the ghost roads. I hit the grey cold ghost road with a thumb and took a breath as the portal to my friends vanished. I stood and turned to run, focusing on Rori and her house at the pack in order to open the portal there. I paused though when one of the ghosts grabbed me, a cold hand wrapped around my wrist. This didn’t happen often unless the ghost had a personal connection or was stronger then the average ghost road traveller. I turned and found myself stating into the eyes of my mother. My blood lines gift as the granddaughter of Barron Semedi , I could see and speak with my ancestors. I saw my mother occasionally, we chatted about my life and school, my friends. She asked about my dad occasionally and I kept it sweet for her. She knew he still thought of her, visited her grave stone and spoke to her, but she fully accepted that time had made Dottie his world. She never

James I shifted falling to the floor. The burning pain in my lungs and side from the destory surgical stitches now slicing through the emotional pain of my heart breaking. I lay my head against Idols fur sobbing just as I did when I was a kid. My friends all stood silently, Eoin eyes held upset as he watch me descend into despair. Ash was looking away but the heaving strangled breathing rise and fall of his chest told me he was fighting to stay stoic. Marcus was still working in the background on my mate, giving her cpr and muttering prayers to whoever the fuck vampires prayed to. I didn’t give a shit if his god brought back my mate I would happily spend my life in service to them. "Where the fuck did the water come from?" Eoin asked. "Or Idol?" We all turned as three figures appeared at the entrance to the cavern wadding through the left over knee deep water. Sage rushed forward to Marcus and Rori stood shoulder to shoulder with Emmett.
