Page 82 of Twinning and Sinning

Mom laughed again, trying to wipe away a bit of cake stuck to her mouth. Dad reached in and licked his pierced tongue on the side of her face. I would never understand Dad's obsession with piercings. Mom looked way too pure for all that, but she loved him, and they were perfect together. Maybe the goddess knew that she would be the only woman to put up with his ass.

"Stoooop!" Mom playfully giggled, pulling away from Dad. "Savannah is doing better. I can only do so much since she is human; my powers don't reach that deep into the human immune system like supernaturals. She was given a blood transfusion, and blood work was run on her." Mom's eyes softened, rubbing her hands together solemnly.

"She's been through a lot the past year. Folen had to watch from afar, he couldn't save her, or he would be at risk of being captured as well. No other Elves are in the Earth realm anymore, according to Melody. He dared not leave her; I would have done the same." Mom's arm went around Dad.

"She was poisoned, Dimitri. She was given a highly concentrated dose of silver, the same silver dosage in those gas bombs. Silver in the bloodstream isn't fatal to humans, but it can cause the blue-greyish color to the skin you have seen. She has been injected so many times her body is having trouble getting rid of it, especially since they haven't fed her properly." I growled.

What kind of sick bastard does this to his wife? Dario Rinaldi is going to die by either Dax or my hand. The real question was why he was attacking shifters, to begin with. He was doing it before he knew Seraphina was even out here. "We will find his hiding spot. Folen must have an idea." I snarled. Mom nodded her head, leaning her head on Dad's chest.

"We will; it will take all of us. Melody and Marcus are expected to arrive within the next twenty-four hours." My head perked up; Melody was coming! Melody babysat Dax and I so Mom and dad could go have a quickie in a closet somewhere. Needless to say, we really formed a bond with Melody and Marcus.

"That's great! I'm sure she is also coming because of Seraphina's background being an Elf mated to some Wolves now?" I half laughed. Mom nodded again.

"With Folen being a warrior and so large, I'm sure Seraphina inherited a lot of strength from him. He's the biggest Elf I have ever seen; I wonder if everything is proportioned right." Dad growled, pulling Mom tight.

"But not as big as you my mighty Alpha King," mom cooed while petting Dad's cheek. Fuck, I'm gonna hurl. Dad immediately melted into Mom's arms.

"Melody is very excited to write it in her new Soul Bonding book. She had interviewed King Osirus and Queen Melina just a few months ago. Melina's story alone was three chapters long on the transfiguration of Melina's half siren, half-human tale. Watch out; she's going to want to have Seraphina all to herself when she wakes up.”

"Not that we can help it! We still need to make sure she smells like us enough before we let her leave the room." I rebutted. Dad's nose traveled up Mom's neck.

"She's right, Love; they need to mark her a few more times, give them a couple days. Speaking of which, you promised." Dad whined into her ear. His hand traveled up to her breasts. Gods, he must not have gotten laid in four hours if he is petting her out in the open like this. I closed my eyes, getting ready to walk away.

"Just a second, I still need to talk to our son," patting his hand that rested on her hip, her attention was drawn back to me. "You should go give Folen a rest. He needs to shower, and I'll have the nurses bring in an extra bed so he can sleep near her. Just watch over her so he can relax."

Dad jumped off the counter, picking mom up, who giggled uncontrollably. They were my parents, and even with their weird ways, I loved them both. They did have powerful mate goals to live by, and I couldn't wait to start mated life with Seraphina.

Putting sanitizer in my hand, I rubbed it vigorously and tapped the door lightly. Walking in, Folen was half asleep in the chair. My hand patted his shoulder while he sat upright. Whispering for him to get cleaned up in one of the empty clinic rooms, he nodded gratefully and left.

Savannah was hooked up to monitors, a new bag of blood and saline hung from the IV poles. Her heart was steady while her breathing was even. Her body was now clean of debris and hair freshly washed. Seraphina looked a lot like her Mother regarding her hair and some facial features, but there were stark differences in their build. Savannah was on the skinny side, mostly from not eating, but she had a leaner figure with her bone structure. Seraphina was built like her father; I didn't care what Seraphina said about being too curvy; she was muscle.

Thick, tasty muscle that I wanted to massage with my tongue with.

"We'll protect you," I whispered to her. "We will take you and Seraphina far away from this awful place and destroy what that monster has done to you both." The urge to protect both Seraphina and her mother was strong. She had birthed my mate; she kept the secret that Seraphina did not belong to a mafia leader to save her. How many lies did she tell, how many nights she sit up wondering if that crazed lunatic would take her daughter away?

Seraphina's Mother bared the burden to give her daughter a life, even if it meant sacrificing her own.

Fingers twitched under the clasp of the oxygen monitor. Grey eyes fluttered open, staring back at me. Coughing, I grabbed a glass of water by the bed, putting a straw in the lid to help her drink.

"Calm down, it's alright. Folen will be back," I tried to soothe. Of course, she would wake up right when Folen left. "Seraphina is safe too; just rest." Savannah shook her head. Sweat was dripping down her grey forehead.

"I've got to… I've got to warn her." Savannah went to pull out the IV in her hand. I put mine over hers, pushing her back.

"Warn her about what? You are too weak. Let me help you." Savannah's heart spiked quickly; nurses flooded the room. One held a needle to put into her IV bag.

"Relax, you might feel disoriented by the antibiotics. You are on strong doses."

"They are coming for her; he wants her to marry..." Savannah sputtered. "He will take her, protect her!" She screamed. Folen ran back into the room, his hair wet from the shower and just a towel around his waist. Pushing me aside, he put his hand in hers.

"I'm here, my love; Seraphina is safe. The two prince Werewolves will take care of her; Dario will not succeed." Savannah shook her head again, becoming more violent.

"A fox! He is a fox! Dario had an agreement…he changed to a..." the medicine had already worked through the clear plastic tube. It made its way through Savannah's arm. She lay limp as Folen put her gently down on the mattress.

"I'm sorry, Alpha," the nurse pulled back. "She was hurting herself." Scratches were on her arms; her IV was being pulled out of her skin, making the hole deeper, and bleeding. Folen was shaking in anger that his mate was hurt yet again, but no one was to blame.

"It's alright, just get this cleaned up." My hand ran down my face, frustrated. This was not a marriage alliance with just an ordinary billionaire to save a business and get a new wife. There was more, and a fox was involved. Foxes were incredibly smart, cunning, and had a way with words, similar to the Fae. Except, they adapted to the human world all too well. A good fox gone bad would be trouble
