Midnights POV
.
.
.
I stand there rigid; freaking out inside, I don't even let a breath escape.
This can't be happening.
Nope. Not now.
I looked into the eyes of my parents' killer and didn't even realize I had such deep-rooted hate for this man.
I'm scared but what can I do?
This man took over an entire kingdom; my kingdom, my home.
He's the reason my whole life is the way it is.
Would I have had a normal life had he not taken over and killed my family?
He sniffed the air and I stopped with all thoughts. He walked closer to my general area and then Ari came walking in.
"There's nobody in here Chen. The last time someone came in here was when you attacked all those years ago." Ari queried.
His hair is turquoise blue. I'm so used to him keeping it brown around me with lavender eyes. Guess he's full-blown how he wants to be then.
"Oh, I'm aware. But one day, she'll be here. I can see it now!" He said almost too excited for my apparent arrival.
I shivered in disgust then froze when I noticed Ari staring at me.
Or through me?
"In front of you perhaps?" Ari suggested making me freak out. Does he suspect I'm here? Can he see me!?
I back as far away as I can get from Chen and Ari's eyes flash in my direction; a small smile dancing on his lips.
I gasp out as his eyes turn pitch black.
"Perhaps one day." He almost says too quietly.
"So why do you want Midnight here so badly?" Ari asks him making my earlier assumptions of him seeing me go away.
"Because I want to look into the eyes of the girl who was born but ultimately killed my mate. Even tho she was a baby, she killed my entire life. So in turn, I killed her mother; or as many around here say, her illegitimate sister. My mate may not have been claimed as royalty but she was an absolute queen in my eyes." He said darkly and mournfully.
My heart jumped into my throat hearing that.
"I'm still waiting for you to bring her to me you know?" Chen prods on.
Ari walks towards me and I back up even further as he proceeds to keep getting closer.
Oh god, he can see me!
"Either way; I'm going now." Ari dismisses the conversation and I fall out of the window from backing up too far; Ari jumps out soon after and swoops down free falling.
"I know you're here Luna. I may not see you but I can sense you like the back of my hand." He antagonizes me; he opened his black feathered wings, and up he went.
"Selene!" I cry out and soon was transported back to the grassy overgrown field I'm always at.
I stand there in shock from it all. Why would she do that to me? Why take me somewhere that will cause me trauma?
I sink to the ground and just stare out at the vast grassy field pondering everything.
"You wanted answers that everyone has refused to give you. I don't need you to be ungrateful towards me." I jolted when she scolded me.
I felt defeated cause she was right. She handed me answers on a silver platter and I blamed her for my reactions to them.
"You're right; I'm sorry." I say looking down.
"All is forgiven. Now, I'm sure you have more questions?"
"Yes; I do, actually."I say getting comfortable.

Angels POV

.

I look in the mirror at my back. It's bare except for the scars that remind me of my ripped-out wings. I pout my lips out and grab my cardigan to go over my green dress.
I let out a sigh and put on a smile when daddy pokes his head around the corner. He sees the cardigan on and sadness shows in his eyes so he walks over and picks me up.
I let a little squeal out and giggle when he gives me butterfly kisses and then a tender kiss to my forehead.
"You're beautiful with or without the cardigan on my little flower." With that said I bury my small head in the crook of his neck happily and hug his neck to death as his chest vibrates with laughter. He always knows how to make me feel better.
"I can turn to a wolf too now right?" I ask excitedly.
He sets me down and reaches his hand down for me and I quickly wrap my small hand in his bouncing up and down in anticipation.
"You sure can sweetheart! But she won't be able to come till you're 18 years old."
I nod my head vigorously at that and couldn't wait till that day came. If I never get my wings back I don't think I'd really care.
Me and daddy walked hand in hand to the therapist for my daily session.

FANGS POV
.
.
.
She's alive; I know she is. How dare that little brat thinks she can leave me. And to have that disgusting mutt protect her! I worked way too hard for my plan to go sideways.
I didn't kill her and promised to keep her safe from others. Every fucking instinct wanted to drain her and watch her be limp and cold to the touch in my arms. But I didn't and I couldn't because of that stupid mate bond. The only time I didn't want to hurt her was when she became a vampire but she was too fuckin emotional. I hate how she brought my feelings to the surface; I felt everything and I hated the feeling of being weak. She made me weak. That pure little flower that I groomed to be the perfect mate. I was supposed to take her innocence! I was supposed to be the first to give her heirs! But that child was born. I was so close to killing it but as soon as Midnight passed out; a blast of power came from her and knocked me flat out. It was shocking but I was ultimately impressed with how strong she was becoming. I crave her.
Seeing her in that pearly blue state and cold as ice is the most beautiful I've ever seen her. As soon as she wakes; I'll take back what belongs to me. She is mine; bond or not.
I let out a screech and slash at the wall in front of me as anger bubbles at the thought of that mutt touching her.
I've got to get rid of him as well as her other potential mates. I'll be the only one she needs.
