AS ALWAYS NOT EDITED
SAPPHIRE POV
Sitting alone in a hotel room gives me time to think. I don’t want to alarm Zack so I just told him I needed some time to myself. But I know he can see through that. We thought he would stop aging rapidly but it seems we were wrong. He’s now human aged 16 but about 8 months in actual time. Along with Cassie and Sirens babies they will likely follow the same path. Those two have aged to human years 10. Watching my son walk into the room im filled with love and pride. Standing about 6 foot with beautiful mahogany skin and his sleek dreads he’s going to have woman melting away with his father’s good looks and amber eyes.
“Mom this suite is great!” he sees this as a mini vacation. “I’m glad you like it son. I’m sorry you had to see me and your dad like this.” I say to him.
“It’s ok mom. I know something up with dad. And if u need to get away I won’t leave you without protection which is why I’m here.” He says making himself a little taller.
“Of course son. With you here I’m as safe as ever. But feel free to have some friends by get in the pool. I need to some calls and see about some council work.” I tell him
He kisses me on the cheek grabs his cell phone and leaves. Hard to believe that he’s my son. But I’m glad his age progression will stop at 18 I don’t think my heart could take seeing my baby grow too much more.
Making calls I find out that like I suspected the dragon clan wants a hearing over Alaric’s death. To see if justice was dispensed fairly. I’m sure they have informed Zaire. And I’ll stand behind him at this trail because no wrongdoing was done. I also am looking into the blonde mystery woman my mate has decided to tote about town. She is the daughter of the Russian vampire king. And sole heir to his legacy. But they are small in numbers and hurting financially. It seems the Russian king likes the extravagant life.
Being that Zaire no has a seat on the council he has become the most powerful vampire that is not an ancient. All others besides the ancient trio answer to Zaire. Just because you have a seat on the council or “throne” as some call it doesn’t give you ultimate power or mean you are the most powerful. The council mainly consists of people who have great knowledge of their kind that will help and enhance all supernatural beings.
Take me for example. I am a new witch although a powerful one. I have less than a years’ worth of training so at this point I just head my local coven of witches. My seat on the council comes from defeating a threat to us and the humans and the knowledge that I will become a very if not the most powerful witch. But that won’t happen for a long while. But me and Zaire being a fully mated couple. Makes the most powerful union and puts targets on our backs.
After all that calling and making arrangements to meet with my coven that consists of about 100 Iook at the clock and see the hours have slipped past me. Is not 10 pm. I send a quick text to my son and see he’s going to just stay at friend house. I have to make a plan to spend more time with him. I’m going to call it a successful night. I got work done and I didn’t have to see Zaire.
Standing in the shower my situation is just now hitting me. I was just asked to be his wife but now it seems like a wedding is a thing of the past. Washing my hair letting the natural curls fall down my back. I remember when he told me that my hair was like a cascading waterfall, natural, wild, and beautiful. And the tears begin to fall. And now I’m in a full on panic attack. I love him. I need him. But I refuse to be treated badly. My heart is breaking.
After 20 minutes in the shower I decide to get out see can I get some late night room service and sleep until noon. Walking into my room I see him sitting on the bed
“You’re leaving me?” he asks and I’m not sure if it’s a question or a statement. “I don’t know what I’m doing Zaire. I’m too upset to think clearly right now.” I say, part of my heart goes out to him but I know that it’s him who pushed me away. He has his face in his hands and I’m not sure if he’s angry or sad. I take a step back. His head snaps up and red blazing eyes are staring at me.
I tell myself I know him. That hurting me would never happen but here in this moment in this hotel room I know that if he were to attack me. My powers wouldn’t be enough to get me out unharmed.
“You fear me Sapphire?” his voice is low as he begins to rise and I instinctively take another step back and I’m against a wall. He takes slow sure steps towards me and places both hands on either sides of my head. And I remember out first meeting. I remember the moment when I thought my life was going to end by his hands. But this time I know death will not come to me.
“You left me. You packed your stuff and left our home. Why? Why would you do that?” he asks.
“What choice did I have? You belong to me yet you chose another. You insult my age. You let her disrespect me. You made your choice Zaire. Now back up and leave.” And I want him to go.
“You belong to me. You will get your stuff and come home now. This is not up for discussion.” He says in a demanding tone.
I use my strength to push him back. “I’m not going anywhere with you.” And if he wants to battle it out so be it. I am my own person.
“So this is it then? You’re in lingerie alone in a hotel room who are you waiting for? If another touches you I will kill him with my bare hands.” He is crazy. I don’t know what is wrong with him
He grabs me roughly by the arms and throws my across the bed. I land harshly. “What the fuck are you doing Zaire? Don’t touch me like that. “I try to conjure up a spell to bind him but he’s now on top of me.
“You think you can you do not belong to me. That I am not the only man for you I will show you then.” Now he is more vampire than man. I don’t know what to do. The possessive part of the animal in him wants me to submit to his will. But that I cannot do.
He begins to roughly force my legs apart. Flash backs of Drake and his constant raping of my flash into my mind. And this time I will fight with all I want. I begin to thrash and try to get a spell off. But I see he’s neutralizing my powers through our bind.so I resort to old fashion defense. And I knee him between the legs. It stops him for a moment and he’s back up and slaps me off the bed. My head is spinning and my lips is bleeding. He crouches before me and says in a voice that is truly his vampire’s “you will submit to me. You will never leave me again.” And I know I must bring Zaire to the surface.
Pulling my legs from underneath me I’m flat on my back again. With him above me. I look into his eyes and say “you’re going to rape me Zaire? You’re going to force your mate into submission. You don’t remember me. I’m your lover, your life. Please don’t hurt me anymore.” I break down and begin to sob. My eyes are closed and I pray for myself.
I flinch when I feel I feel his hand in my hair. But instead of pulling it he brings it to his nose and smells me. And I hear him say “just like a waterfall” And I know he’s been brought back from the edge of darkness, but can I ever stand by his side again…………………………
