Page 83 of Twinning and Sinning

Dimitri

Folenstoodup,throwinghis hands to the side table, knocking over the water pitcher. "Damn Foxes, it makes sense. Every single Fox is nothing but conniving, tricky, and too smart for their own good. Every single one of them should be slaughtered." Folen grabbed hold of his towel that began to slip. I stood, crossing my arms.

"Not every fox, Folen. You can't automatically categorize a species that way." Shaking my head, I sat in the chair next to Savannah; now, she was sleeping, much calmer than she was before. Since the Dark War, everything has changed. Not that Folen would know, he left as soon as it was over.

"No, I mean it; the same goes for Vampires. Every one of them should be wiped out of the whole nation. That's why I left Bergarian. Too many lives were lost, and each ruler forgave those that were left. Those damn Foxes were on their side too!"

I gripped my fists. It had been many years since the Dark War, my parents, as well as the Golden Light Kingdom's rulers, had forgiven Vermillion’s rogues and their dark ways. It wasn't even the rulers of Vermillion that were evil. Queen Taliyah and Prince Jasper couldn't control the rogues in their territory. Rogues Vampires, Witches and Warlocks are the ones that caused the trouble. The evils and their sins were wiped away once The Cerulean Moon Kingdom and The Golden Light Kingdom stepped in. There was not one species in Bergarian that was inherently evil, just a few bad apples. Once all the bad apples get together to overthrow a kingdom, they make a nasty rotten pie.

Unfortunately, some people had become intolerant, grouping species together as nothing but evil. Folen had taken that upon himself to categorize the Foxes and Vampires as nothing but a nuisance.

"I can, and I will. I watched Vampires dismember my own brother. They were heartless; they made me watch and snickered before I finally broke free. They paid for what they did, but now my brother is gone." Folen gritted his teeth, holding Savannah's hand. "I couldn't go back to Bergarian to leave Savannah, but I also couldn't go back because I haven't been there since the war." Folen kissed her hand. "I can't bring her back there, and what of Seraphina? What if one of the bloodsuckers gets to my mate or my daughter? Now I must worry about a damn Fox too in this realm?" His voice amplified, and his mate stirred in her sleep.

"Sounds to me you are species intolerant as well as an ignorant fool." A stern womanly voice came from the hallway. Her shoes clicked as her hand opened the door to reveal her short, curvy stature.

"Melody," I whispered, getting up, and pulling her into a hug.

"Hey, little bro," her hand reached up to pet my hair. "Who's this intolerant Elf?" Melody's eyes narrowed, putting her hands on her hips. "Just because you battled in a war against evil rogues doesn't mean all species are wrong. Just as humans, not all are evil; some are good. You can't judge people like that." Folen pressed his lips together in a thin line, turning back to Savannah.

"Not now," I whispered to Melody. Melody had a fire on her tongue; she was intelligent, almost too smart for her own good. She could argue her way in or out of anything; that was why she and Marcus had such an exciting, mated courting. Not only that, we called her mate Uncle Marcus for the longest time. He was our father's beta and so close to the family he earned the name Uncle rather quickly. He was the uncle that 'got around.' Many nights were spent around the family dining table telling us about his escapades.

I shivered. Ugh, disgusting.

Never had I seen a Wolf in my life sober up the way Marcus did when he found out Melody was his mate. Dax and I were young, and it was a hard habit to break to not call him uncle. "Right," Melody said. "I'm sorry I snapped; you must have been through a lot during the war, losing your brother." Melody stood in front of Folen, who dared not look her in the eye.

"It's just that my Aunt Raine has Dean, her mate is a vampire, and he is nothing but sweet to her. As well as another family friend, Sebastian." Melody sat next to Folen, taking her hand to rub his back.

"And you kind of ruined my take on Elves, if that means anything," she chuckled. "I thought they were all hippies touching the ground talking about their feelings but look at you! All tall, muscular, and ready for battle?" Folen smiled, looking back at her.

"I suppose you’re right, Alpha Melody. I have been intolerant. It will just take more time. For my family's safety, I am willing to go back home." Folen's eyes rested back on Savannah. "I just hope things have truly changed."

"They have," Melody interjected. "It's been fifty or so years since then? There have been no coups or anything of the sort. Relatively peaceful."

Folen straightened his back. "As you know, I'm Folen," he cleared his throat. "I'm Seraphina's biological father." His hand went over his chest and bowed while sitting in the chair. "And this is Savannah, Seraphina's mother."

Melody's face brightened, silently clapping her hands. Reaching into her bag, she pulled out a large notebook and pen. Clicking it repetitively, Melody stared into his eyes. "Do you mind if I ask you a couple questions then? For the sake of the science of bonding and your daughter?"

Dax

The sun had set, Dimitri had not returned. Folen was having a mental breakdown. I guess he was more Elf than I thought. Those guys were all about nature, feeling the feelings of trees and plants. Hell, even talking to plants. I'd known the warrior façade would break in time.

Seraphina had moved quite a bit, considering the venom running through her body, changing her. Many humans, when they were given a species' venom, wouldn't move for at least a few days. Seraphina was restless, moving her legs and her arms and pulling me closer. I didn't mind it one bit but began to worry as her body heated up.

Seraphina was groaning until she spoke my name in a raspy voice, "Dax?" Her fingers rubbed my bare chest, and her legs parted mine, squeezing her pussy to my leg. She was wet; I felt it drip down her thigh and onto me. Arousal spiked into the air, and my hands pulled her ass close to me.

"Are you alright?" I whispered in her ear. Chills ran down her arm; her nose stroked my neck until her lips began to suck. The sucking became harder, biting me, rubbing her hot body on mine. My cock stirred, he was coming to life, and Seraphina was half asleep.

"Please," her hips moved, grinding on my thigh. "I'm so hot," her breath came in searing spirals on my skin until she nipped me too hard. My body jumped; her eyes flew open.

"What do you want, Seraphina?" My hand gripped her ass tighter while my other hand pulled my cock out, brushing her core. Moaning, her bare breasts skimmed my chest. The tickle of her nipples against my peck muscle had me breathing painfully.

"I... really want something," Seraphina's hand trailed down to my cock, her hand squeezing my shaft.

"Gods, Seraphina." Hovering over her, my lips crashed into hers. Her one hand in my hair and one on my ass. Nails scraped from my ass to the middle of my back. Her hips thrust upwards, pussy fulfilling my dick. I could see the desire in her eyes; she was kissing me with them wide open, watching my every move.

"I haven't had my chance to fuck your cunt yet," Dominic used his voice. "I haven't had your come to coat me." My mouth buried into her neck, sucking on her marking area.

"Dominic, I need you," her whine was perfect. I loved hearing her beg. Begging wasn't something Seraphina did. Her personality wouldn't let that show but fuck right now; with her underneath me, she would beg until I delivered. So damn hot.
