Chapter 243
Caleb's POV
I smile widely and pull her back between Vincent and I on her bed. "You,love us huh?" I tease her and she tries to get away from us but Vincent blocks her escape. She looks between us with a nervous expression, and isn't expecting what we do next.
I quickly pin her down on her bed by her wrists gently, and hover over her. She looks up at me, blushing.
"I love you too, mate, my future Luna." I say before leaning down and kissing her. I hear her heart pick up and beat faster, as she tries to get her hands free from my grip. She's unsuccessful.
I trail kisses down her neck, then the middle of her chest, down to he toned stomach and back up again. She's starting to breathe heavily as I let her back up and Vincent slides behind her as I kiss her again, harder this time. I hear her moan slightly through the kiss and I can't help but let a small growl come from my throat. She's letting go, and my god it's hard to control myself. I break the kiss and I see Vincent behind her, moving her ponytail away from her neck and kiss it, grazing his fangs from her neck to her shoulder. She shudders as he leans into her ear and
says,
"Not like it has to be said, but I love you too, my beloved." She
My hands pull at the cuffs straining my arms above my head as he grazes her neck a second time with his fangs and she moans
being full access to keep happening.
Her heart is frantic turns herself around and kisses Vincent with more passion then we've ever seen from her. I decide to run my hands down her body and trail kisses down her back.
"We need to..stop. " She says breathlessly as she breaks her kiss with Vincent. Both him and I are breathless as well and we nod, respecting her choice as we promised.
"We can do that, love." Vincent says and he pecks her lips and I move back to allow her to move onto another spot on her bed.
"It's s not that I don't want to uh...continue, but I'm just not ready to go there yet." She emphasizes "there", and looks away, blushing still
"That's okay, it's probably best we wait for sex until we accept the bonds anyways." I state and she whips her head to look at me wide eyed.
"Can we not talk about this?" She says desperately.
"It's so cute that you're so embarrassed." I chuckle.
"You haven't been with anyone have you?" I ask bluntly.
She shakes her head,
"No i haven't, it wasn't much of a priority."
"Well our priority is going to be making you feel amazing when that time comes"
"I wouldn't ask for anything less, but I might ask for more." She replies and lightly bites her lip. God damn. I mentally smack myself to keep myself from taking her right here.
We all take a moment to catch our breath. Vincent and I change our
positions on the bed and lean back on her pillows and Davyna comes
over and lays in between us and holds both mine and Vincent's hands. I feel the..warmth of the mate bond and we lay there for a few moments in silence.
"So what's next?" Davyna asks, yawning slightly. I sigh and Vincent says exactly what I'm thinking.
"Well before we accept the bonds and mark you, we have to tell the council that you're our mate. We can't keep hiding it at this point. As much as we want to keep you safe, there are some rules we have to follow." He continues.
"We will tell the council, and they'll performance ritual to confirm the mating"
"A ritual?" She questions. Vincent answers her.
"A blood ritual. Mated bloods will heal each other almost instantly with no visible signs of an injury, so the recipients hands are cut with a poisoned blade that prohibits the wound from healing. Then we all would place our hands together and if the wounds heal with no scar then we're destined mates. If it heals with a scar, then we're not"
"l just realized something." Davyna says.
"what's that?" I ask.
"We're going to be meeting each other's parents at the same time, and then telling them we're all mated to each other. Vincent laughs.
"You are correct, Davyna. And I'm sure it will be nothing
short of an awkward conversation." I laugh and Davyna yawns again. "You must be tired after the shock today. Get some rest, we can wake you later." I squeeze her hand
"oh okayy" She says mid yawn and snuggles tighter in between us, and is out within minutes.
"Sleep well, love." Vincent says softly, and I decide to close my eyes too.
Another POV
Drip, drip, drip...
I really hate this forsaken basement of this place, but it's been the perfect setting for my experiments. As I walk down the musty hallway with one overhead light, I wonder if my subjects felt like they're in a horror movie. Well, once they entered the next room, they know they are. I walk through the double doors leading into the large open area that is lined with stainless steel tables, all sorts of medical equipment, and current round of test subjects in cages lined along the back wall. Water is collecting in puddles around the room, having not fully drained from the rinsing of blood from previous experiments down the storm drains.
When my team notices I've arrived, they scramble in fear, hoping that I won't kill one of them today. That's still to be determined.
"Progress?" l ask as I walk along the cages at the back, inspecting all my sleeping subjects, wondering what will come of them once they're on the tables.
"We are about to start the second round, sir." Someone says, I don't pay attention to which one.
"Proceed." More bodies shuffle around, and I point to one of the males in the far left cage.
"That one." Moments later, male werewolf is brought out and strapped to one of the tables, still knocked out by a sedative that was administered earlier.
"Which vial of vampire blood is he supposed to receive?" I ask the
person setting up all the medical equipment to our subject to track his vitals and overall wellness as the experiment runs its course.
"Title?" I continue to question
"Yours, sir and he is a Beta." I nod and lean back against the wall closest to the table
"Alright, are we ready?" I see nods from the team and signal them to go ahead with a flick of my hand. I watch as the vial of vampire blood - my blood - is injected into the IV that was placed moments ago. These experiments have been sporadic in their success, but most end in failure. The only successes ended up being mutated versions of their original species. I have yet to create what I really want to come of this, but I know l'm still missing some pieces to make this work in my favor.
I want to create something like her, That slight moment that I sensed her power, her true being, I was exhilarated. I'd only seen one other like her in my entire lifetime. I need to harness that for myself. That's what I need to take out that stupid council and stop this utter nonsense of living with humans peacefully. We are superior, and the world needs to know that. I'lIl be the one to bring chaos and retribution.
I'm pulled from my inner musings as the subject on the table begins to convulse, pulling on the restraints and ties keeping him on the table.
The convulsions stop, but then I see blood running from his ears,
mouth, eyes. Failure. One of my scouts comes into the room as the body is taken off the table, and taken to be big.
"Sir. I have some news to report." I wave my hand to signal him to speak.
"The successful experiment subjects were sent back to their parklands as you requested. They attacked the investigation team sent by the council and managed to kill 3 of their scouts until they were overpowered by the Value and King children who were there assisting. None of the subjects survived, but they did manage to injure the two men."
I hit my fist against the wall in frustration.
"Starting from scratch again.." One of the medical team walks past me and I grab him by the throat and snap it, letting his lifeless body slide to the floor. I look at the rest of the team who is now staring at me intently, as another person enters the room behind me. Guess I was killing someone today.
"Get to work, now! I want as many of these mutated successes as
possible." They scramble to continue their work.
"It seems like the council needs a subtle reminder that not everyone follows their rules" I say towards the figure behind me, my spy within. My statement is acknowledged, and the figure leaves my presence as fast as it arrived.
Davyna's POV
I stir slightly in my sleep. How long did I sleep? I place my hands or either side of me, but the bed is empty. As l open my eyes, I can't help but think about what happened earlier. I didn't want to stop, but I knew I had to. The effect both of them have on me on every level is just... I have no words. I can hardly control myself.
I sit up and look around. Weren't they both here when I fell asleep? Yawning, I stretch and then get up. My phone rings and I look at it. Dad. I quickly answer it.
"Daddy! How are you? I'm sorry we haven't talked much but i know you've been busy"
"Davyna.. you need to tell the council.." He cuts off, and another voice continues. It's muffled and I can't make out who it is.
An error has occurred. we but think about what happened earlier. I didn't want to stop, but I knew I had to. The effect both of them have on me on every level is just...I have no words. I can hardly control myself.

"Daddy! How are you? 'm sorry we haven't talked much but I know you've been busy"
"Davyna... you need to tell the council.." He cuts off, and another voice continues. It's muffled and I can't make out who it is.
"Come find us, Davyna. The woods." Click. My heart starts to race. Dad is in trouble. I need to find Caleb and Vincent. I try calling their phones but they don't pick up."
"Fuck!" Kick! Yell out loud.
"Okay, focus, focus." I take a few deep breaths and decide if
there ever was a time l needed to minds link it would be now. Wouldn't hurt to try. I try to clear my head, and I close my eyes and picture both Vincent and Caleb
D- Vincent, Caleb?- I gasp as I hear them in my head.
C- Davyna? How are you doing this right now? never mind that, someone has my dad out in the woods. He's in trouble! I'm heading there now. Sneed you both. -
D- We're on our way. -Caleb.
C- Wait for Us, -Vincent. Well that was interesting.
I break off the connection somehow and scramble off my bed. I sprint out of my suite, down the hallway to the elevator. When the doors open on the main lobby area, I take off running to the back doors and burst outside in the same place that Caleb first showed me Kaius.
"DAD!!" I scream. No response. I look at the wide span of trees and decide l can't wait for Vincent and Caleb. I need to get to my dad now. take off running again, low hanging tree branches whipping my arms as I make my way through. I keep screaming out for my dad and I finally burst into some sort of small meadow with the tree tops still covering it, blocking out most of the sun from the day.
