The Devil's Mate

Eleven

Third Peeson POV

Because Beyla can't hear anything Aro or Dydime are saying she puts earbud in and listens to music. Seeing a stack of books and her curiosity gets the better of her and she goes to them, picking one of them up she reads it, tapping her foot and humming to the song she's listening to she passes the time reading.

Caius watches his mate hum and read a book from their collection. He studies her features, he also winces hearing Dydime scream at his stupidity. When Beyla turns a page she accidentally gets a paper cut, putting her finger in her mouth all the vampires see Bree's eyes go dark and she runs at Beyla who has her back turned.

Caius with fear and anger seeing the newborn go after his mate he gets up and shoves Bree away from Beyla causing a huge crash. Demetri and Felix grab the newborn as she thrashes to get to Beyla since her blood smells very mouth watering. For some reason Caius knew that if he killed the newborn his mate would be furious with him.

Aro and Dydime hearing a commotion heads to the throne room, they see Bree being restrained. "What's going on?" Dydime demands

"Beyla cut her finger" Marcus looks at his mate, still not believing his mate is alive again "The newborn tried attacking, Caius pushed her away from his mate" Caius stands in front of Beyla as she continues to be oblivious to everyone around her.

"Which reminds me" Dydime sends a sarcastic smile Caius's way "Tell Beyla the truth you asshole"

"You've gotten a lot meaner" Caius points out and dodged the shoe sent his way, but because of how hard it was thrown it hits Beyla in the head had and Caius catches her as she falls unconscious.

"Don't bite her" Dydime runs at Caius who was about to bite his mate but was shoved off, Beyla just lays unconscious on the floor.

"Marcus" Caius growls "keep your mate from keeping me away from mine"

"Brother" Aro places a hand on Caius's shoulder "you can't bite her, not yet at least" Caius sends a furious glance Aro's way "she's pregnant"

"What?" He asks, looking back to his mate he hears a second very fast heartbeat indeed come from her. "Does she have a boyfriend?" Rage fills him

"No" shaking her head "it was a one night stand, now as you can see she can't be turned and needs to leave"

"She stays" Caius declares "she's my mate"

"One with a very appetizing smelling blood to be near" Didyme growls "what are you going to do? Lock her in your room?" Caius just thinks this over like that isn't a bad idea "she'll escape, she's escaped worse" Caius hearing this is curious and upset that Beyla has been through worse.

"How about" Aro suggests "sister" he gets slapped in the face again "really?"

"Really" Dydime confirms "your lucky I'm not ripping your arm off and shoving it up your ass" Aro looks at his sister in horror while Marcus smiles, the others don't know how to react to the long dead but now alive again queen.

"Caius is right" Aro looks at Dydime terrified on the inside "you've changed—how about you and your other coven members come here and stay"

"No" Dydime stands firm "how do I know you won't try to murder me again?" Aro looks down in shame "Beyla and Bree come with me away from here"

"No" Caius growls

"Yes" Dydime gets defensive. Soon she and Caius get into a "yes" and "no" argument.

"My love" Marcus walks over to Dydime and pulls her to him, she hugs him back savoring the time she missed "please stay"

"Fine" Dydime says after a few minutes of silence "your lucky your my mate" Marcus chuckles.

Beyla's POV

I soon wake up in a different room in an unfamiliar but really comfortable bed, I look around and my eyes connect with that blonde king Caius's.

"Uh" sitting up, I look around again "uh, where's Dydime" pressing the back of my head "and why does my head hurt?"

"Dydime threw a shoe at me, I dodged it but it hit your head" he puts his hand where the pain is and because of his cold skin it helps. I lean into it before realizing what I'm doing and start to blush.

"Um, where am I?"

"My room" he leans back and we sit in silence for the next few minutes.
