to choose between

Who will save you? part 1

SIREN POV

My little rose bud is absolutely stunning. She’s 3 weeks old in her actual age but along the lines of 6 months in her enchanted age. I’ve decided I must go to the surface and face Alaric. This is his child. And I need to finish one book before I open another. Well I guess I already sort of cracked a new book open. But I plan on closing that other book. Pack mine and Roses things I decide to leave a not for Nick. I don’t want a confrontation between the two of them. So I’m sneaking out in the middle of the night instead. I know it’s sort of a coward’s way out but I need to do this alone. The thought of them fighting makes my soul cringe.

After running behind a tree and changing out of our wet clothes I head to the Sapphire’s home. Here it is daytime so I’m expecting to see everyone up. I take a deep breath and knock on the door. “holy shit it’s Siren and SHE HAD HER BABY!!!” I’m pounced on by Cassie. I laugh because this girl is like the sister I never. But then we are both suddenly crying and I feel bad for leaving and not contacting them. I have to remember whenever I go back to not forget about my other family.

We all get caught up really quickly. Me and Cassie presenting our babies to each other who would have shared a birthday if not for the time difference in our worlds. Her son being older by a day. Or technically hours. And the fact that Cassie is now sporting a huge engagement ring. As she talks about her night she was proposed to her eyes get glassy. And I’m more than happy for her.

I finally ask about the reason for my visit. “Did Alaric ever return?” the girls share a glance between the two of them. So I know whatever they are about to say won’t be good. “Yes he has and he’s looking for you. He had become slightly enraged when he found out you left. And. We had to ask him to leave. But he’s staying in one of the house being the mansion,” Sapphire says. I know what she means when she says slightly enraged. He went crazy and Zaire had to throw his ass out. Asking them to keep an eye on Rose I walk to the house I was instructed he was living in.

He’s out back standing on the porch. His back to me. I know he could hear me and I assume he sensed me in the house which is why he was out her waiting. “You were not told to leave” his rough voice says to me. “I am not a prisoner anymore. I am my own woman Alaric.” I say. I will not be intimidated. He turns around and stares me down. Taking a few steps to close the distance between us. “You take my child from me. You disappear without a note. And you dare disrespect me?” he yells the last sentence. “So now you care about your child? Now you care where vie been. You told me name her whatever. You said you just need me to give you a strong dragon child. Is that now what you said?” I yell right back at him.

“Yes it is what I said. I want a son. I care not what the child’s name is. But I will not be made a fool of. If you belong to me. If my blood is running through her veins that means I say when you leave. I say where that child goes” that bastard. “THAT CHILD’S NAME IS ROSEBUD. YOU WILL REFER TO MY CHILD BY HER NAME.” I’ve had it. In a way I hoped he’d fall at my feet. That he would beg for us to be a family. And I now know this dragons scales are too tough to get anywhere near his heart. “YOU WATCH YOUR FUCKING TONE WHEN YOU SPEAK TO ME.” and I realize this has gotten out of hand. Taking a few steps back say to him what I came to say.

“I cannot. I will not be with a man who has no respect for me. Who doesn’t even ask about their child? I’ve been raped, beaten and abused and I’m no prisoner anymore Alaric. I belong to me. If I have to choose between you I will ALWAYS chose me. The mate bond is weak and I wish to break It.” there is no uncertainty in my voice. And I feel every word I’ve spoken. He just stands their glaring at me. Now his eyes have changed to black and he’s stalking over towards me. “You think I will LET you go? That I will show weakness to my enemies by having you uproot my child from Me.” I’m backed up against a tree. He wraps his hand around my throat. “Who do you think is going to help you get away from me huh? Those sisters?” he’s starting to squeeze harder and no air whatsoever is coming into my lungs. “Who’s going to save you this time?”

ME……………. before I pass out I see Nickolas and all his glory. Armor on. And ready to fight………………….
