FORBIDDEN

105 The Guys! POV

It had been a few days now since Drogo's selfless act drove our girl into darkness, A darkness we had never felt before. 

The bond of mates is strong but the bond of losing a mate is stronger. 

Simoes had the three of us now! but the feeling of loss from one mate was unbearable, something I couldn't even begin to imagine.

 what it felt like for her, or if she lost any more of us let alone all of us. She had been quiet, reserved, and pulled back. allowing us to care for her, even in her numb state. 

We each took turns washing her, lifting her into baths or showers, trying to soothe her pain. Even bringing her our kids so she could spend time with them.  

She gave it her best, loving on them as long as she could until the pain of Drogo's loss hit again. Like waves rolling in hitting her hard with each passing second. Each night we laid with her resting in turns, considering Vampires don't sleep or need rest I was the one who rested warming her when she was cold. Peter, Vic, or Nic cooling her when her body temperature would rise and get too hot. 

Nick had been logging her reaction to this loss as well as our own. It wasn't something he had ever encountered before. As For Vic being that he was older and had lived far more lives than us all he had heard of the depths of pain from a loss mate but never actually seen nor felt it. 

our routine started and ended with caring for our beloved. our kids, and the castle. Everyone else who had remained here became loyal followers of their Luna, and her Beta Lucas mate Raven for the last few weeks took on her duties to help keep order until Simoes was once again ready. 

We appreciated our new allies and the many villagers who remain here, growing crops, building and making new things to trade and bargain for uniting the smaller villages our scouts would find while hunting.  The evil Vampire rule had been ended, thanks to Simoes and Victor. Their bond was the first of many waves to break things but the overpowering her mother and father taking on their power ended what spells they had laid over the land. 

A Peace now followed thanks to the war ending, packs uniting and Drogo's act to enrage our girl to win the battle of power.  Except what he didn't factor in was how she would be left living but dying all at the same time. 

Each of us had our anger fits taking it out in the gym, either in pairs or alone beating up every piece of equipment, it no longer looked like it once did. The death of our brother hit us just as hard, even to the degree of pain we shared with Simoes and their bond. A part of me would kill him if he wasn't already gone for putting her in this state the other part wanted to grieve him. 

Either way, this had been the longest, hardest few days. Simoes tried to visit him as he laid to rest in the larger living room, Nick thought it best to allow all of the towns around us to pay tribute to him for what he did, his distraction enraged Simoes enough to overpower her parents thus saving us all, I would say he was a hero but he had saved many of these people from blood-sucking killers, and rogue wolves. Seeming only fair we laid him there and in another night we would place him in Nicks' families tomb. 

As my brother rested, I watched over his lover, letting her walk the halls alone or at least partly making her way to the living area in which Drogo rested. Her cries filling my ears as she tried to hold them back, each of her steps slow, calculated, and soft. a few times she rested herself against the wall, breathing in and out taking a needed moment to gather herself before she took another step closer. 

Pain in her heart rippled through us the pain in watching her suffer. 

There was nothing we could do. River tried remedies, spells, and nothing could ease the bond that had been broken with her mate. We weren't sure if our mate would ever be herself again or a fraction of her former self but we all prayed she'd be whole again soon. That her pain could somehow end and her new life free from the spells could begin.  (Seb's POV, end)

Sebastian had been watching over Simoes like a hawk, he never left her side being the animal he was he needed more rest than we did but he didn't take it when she was up and about.

Something in him wouldn't rest until she did. No matter how we expressed that she was in good hands with us as well. He just simply waved it off and went to tend to her.

 The only time he rested was once she was resting "which was never long" but her body going from Freezing to burning up in a matter of hours made him worry more.  

A mere human would dye with such changes to their body. but not her considering who she was now we knew that she wouldn't be harmed but the tole it was taking on her was enough to weaken anyone. 

I couldn't stand seeing her like this, I knew that it was only a matter of time that it would no longer hurt as much but it was up to her when that would be. Her love for each of us would only prolong the pain far past its need to live.  But as much as we hated it we allowed her to grieve.

 Drogo was my brother and what he did made no sense nor did he inform at least one of us. He took this task upon himself and the end result has been catastrophic, to say the least. 

I was beyond angry with him and if he had survived we of had a few words. It was foolish of him to lead her into a power struggle that he didn't even know the outcome for. what if it would have been her laying in that room right now. "What if!" Growling!!! at myself as I made my rounds. 

Drogo I swear! I'd of killed him if it had been her in his place.  (Peters Pov End)

+++++++ 

" Nick, I don't see how this could even happen! her magic is powerful but would the bond protect him?"

"It should of, according to everything I have read that is available to me Drogo shouldn't have died in the power surge, so if he is laid up then something else must have happened, To what that could be I have no idea, Yet!" 

"Well, I have records coming from our castle up north maybe there is some record of this or anything else relating to the mate bond, that perhaps we can invoke to bring his Dumb ass back!" Just so she can kill him again!! Haha. 

"Vic, although that sounds like a great plan it might not work, so for now we need to find something that at least soothes her pain and maybe release their connection" 

"Nick, she's not going to like that" 

" I know but I can't let her walk around here as she has been, it's driving us all insane to see her in such a state." 

"no to mention Sebastian isn't getting enough rest, nor us enough food to maintain our strength." 

"Exactly, we are all feeling the sudden loss of Drogo, but are bond to her and her pain is weakening all of us at one time" 

"So what do you suggest" 

" I don't know yet, I'm still looking for anything that will help, Gods know River and Raven have tried all they know with their magic" 

"Hmm, well maybe she needs some love and affection" 

"Victor don't you dare try and take advantage of her in this state" 

"GOD, NICK chill I wasn't referring to that unless that's what she wants then I'm happy to serve my girl, but something needs to be done. You know what none of us need permission to be with her and I for one need to be closer to her while she feels this way" 

'Growling' !!!

"Nick, I Primose to be a gentleman and if she needs me to be gentle then so be it" 

nick scoffs as Victor leaves the room, eager to see his mate as she rests in her room. Nick returns to his research a mate's bond is powerful and if something isn't done soon, then all of them may weaken. 

( Hey guys, yeah so I wrote this after I gave you the good news about Drogo being alive. lol wHOOPS.. well, I still love the guys POV's don't worry even though this book is almost at an end it's not over yet.") .
