Sebastian's POV

Randall ended up taking me to the Tower of London and I was currently chained to a wall. If Catherine saw me now she would be absolutely furious. The door to the chamber opened and in came Randall followed by a smaller man who was no doubt the torturer.

"Alright butler talk"

"I have nothing to talk about sir" I replied.

"Not even about your precious wife who wasn't present?" Randall added.

That made me angry. How dare he try to get Catherine involved!

To taunt him I made a remark about the Black Death which hit a nerve with Randall and the fool told the torturer to proceed with whipping me.

Ciel's POV

"I don't think your involved with the drug trafficking my lord" Abberline told me.

"I appreciate your words however it would be wise for you to go along with this charade inspector" I suggested. "The problem is between me and whoever is behind this"

"But what about your sister? Aren't you worried for her?"

I smirked at his question.

"Catherine is an independent woman who can handle herself just fine, you might as well know she absolutely had nothing to do with the drug trafficking"

"You love her that much don't you?"

"Yes I do she's the only family I have left" I began. "As you can imagine she's always been protective of me and I her, when she and I were enslaved by the cult who kidnapped us she fought like hell to get to me and in the end she was shot, she survived thankfully but the memories from those days still haunt her and myself"

While I said those words I prayed silently in my mind for my beloved sister's safety.

Sebastian's POV

I hurt like hell due to the intense whipping I was given for refusing to talk. The torturer was taking a break and for the moment I enjoyed the relief but I looked up when I heard the door open.

"So you survived" I told Angela as she approached. She was dressed in a dominatrix outfit and she had her own whip.

"You are most certainly loyal to that human master of yours and to that abomination"

"She isn't an abomination" I hissed.

Angela cracked her whip in order to intimidate me. But when it didn't work she placed the end of the whip against my exposed stomach.

"I can see how you seduced your mate demon, I won't deny you are handsome, though now you aren't, instead your in severe pain due to your wounds and no doubt starving for a soul to devour, soon there will be many souls for you to feed once the real doomsday comes to life"

"I have no interest in any souls you would offer me angel, and I never once seduced my mate, she is the most beautiful creature on this living earth more than you'll ever be"

That remark angered her and it wasn't long until I was being given more blows of the whip. However the next thing Angela knew she was being pinned to the wall by a very angry Catherine Michaelis.

Catherine's POV

I had one hand holding Angela's throat while I held one of my swords in another. When I saw my husband in the state he was in now I was beyond furious.

"Just what the hell do you think your doing to my precious husband and life mate angel?" I demanded.

"So you've come for him half breed" Angela sneered.

Snarling I hit the Angela hard across the face with my sword's hilt.

"I am the daughter of Abigail and Vincent Phantomhive, sister to Ciel Phantomhive, wife and life mate to the demon Sebastian Michaelis, I care not for your insults angel because frankly I don't give a god damn, you will pay for hurting those I love"

I then stabbed her in the stomach and the angel screamed in pain as I made her endure the same pain my husband went through. I kept my sword inside her before I drew it out and I punched her hard enough to render her unconscious.

"Remind me not to anger you Little Dhampir" Sebastian joked.

"Even after being severely wounded you can still joke demon?" I asked looking to my husband. It broke my heart to see him in his current state. Using my vampire strength I freed my mate from his bonds and using his demonic power Sebastian transported us of out of the tower and into our bedroom in the townhouse.

I removed my fingerless glove from my hand and pulled my shirt sleeve up exposing my wrist. I held it out to Sebastian and my husband licked and kissed my flesh before placing his fangs into my wrist. Due to our mate bond my blood would heal his wounds like his blood did with mine. Sebastian's wounds didn't take long to heal themselves and after he had enough of drinking my blood I helped my husband to his feet.

Catching me off guard my demon mate drew me into him and gave me a mind blowing kiss that had me blushing like a fool.

Ciel's POV

Randall was a fool to leave me unguarded because I easily slid out of the room I had been kept in. However before I was close to the exit I was stopped by Abberline.

"What are you doing Ciel?!" he demanded from me.

"My family still remains powerful and will continue to hold power" I began but Abberline interrupted me.

"Your domain consists of fear and profits, you my lord you don't have either of those with you now"

"As long as there is a king remaining I will continue with what I must do" I countered.

"Then I have no choice but to offer my assistance if you'll have me"

I was not expecting this but I accepted his aide regardless and it wasn't long until we were on the streets of London once more. Suddenly a woman approached me and Abberline saying she had the child who found Stanley's corpse in her shop. She took us to the boy in question and the lad was helpful.

According to him he had seen a young Chinese woman before he discovered Stanley's lifeless corpse. He also added a man in white approached him promising the lad to become pure and good whatever that nonsense meant and the same man also gave this poor lad the candy that Sebastian explained about earlier.

I thanked the boy for sharing his information and I would make sure he was given something from my company as a token of my gratitude. Abberline and I were unsuccessful in finding this man in white. I was suddenly caught off guard when Catherine appeared out of nowhere and pulled me into a hug.

Catherine's POV

"Oh thank god" I said as I held Ciel close to me.

I had a few tears sliding down my face because I had been so worried about my brother. Ciel embraced me back and wiped my tears away with a glove.

"I'm okay sister" Ciel promised me with a smirk. "Sebastian I see Catherine found you"

My husband was now all cleaned up and he smiled back at his master.

"Levi found out something" I began after I pulled away from Ciel. "Stanley is believed to be murdered by Lau, it would seem Lau had gotten some treasure from the victim and ran off"

"That's a good reason for him to lie to us" Ciel growled.

Sebastian suddenly pushed me and Ciel to the side because we were suddenly being shot at. Abberline returned fire with his own firearm and Sebastian obeyed Ciel's order to kill our assailants. I winced at the screams those fools endured when my husband disposed of them. Ciel then told my mate to go after Lau and after kissing my forehead did my demon mate take off.

"Don't follow us inspector in doing so will risk your life"

Just as Abberline protested Ciel and I took off. Sebastian said he was successful in finding Lau through our mate bond. My brother and I regrouped with Sebastian before he transported me and Ciel to the roof of a castle.

In order to get to Lau's boat Ciel had Sebastian fire several cannons at it. We used a cannonball to get to Lau's ship and no sooner did we step foot on it Ran-Mao attacked. I grabbed Ciel into my arms while Sebastian began to fight with Ran-Mao.

"So you found me then"

Ciel and I turned to see Lau with his usual smile on his face. I wanted to give this asshole who betrayed us a piece of my mind. I placed my brother onto his feet.

"The document you've been looking for my lord is a document that proves your queen is trying to start a war"

"Why should I believe you? You betrayed me so I'm supposed to believe your words?" Ciel yelled.

"I betrayed you my lord because I was bored being your pawn so I wanted to play as well"

Nearby Sebastian managed to defeat Ran-Mao and Lau looked to Sebastian and myself.

"I've had a feeling you and your husband weren't human Lady Catherine"

Lau then drew out a sword and I drew out mine. Then Lau charged forward and I made sure I got in front of Ciel. Ciel cried out my name and Sebastian tried to get to me but Ran-Mao blocked his path. But before Lau's sword could reach me Fred Abberline got in the way and was dealt the fatal blow.

"Abberline!" Ciel exclaimed.

Abberline looked to me and my brother just as Lau took out his sword from the officer. Abberline fell to the floor and Lau raised his sword up once more. This time I was ready and while once sword blocked Lau's I used the other to slice into Lau's side. Lau yelped in pain and he dropped his sword. I then gave Lau a well deserved round kick in the gut and this caused Lau to go flying into the air and he landed on his back.

"No one messes with my little brother" I growled before putting my swords away and I turned to Ciel.

"Are you alright little brother?"

Ciel nodded before approaching Abberline. The poor bloke was dying and I said a prayer in my mind. Lau was being helped up by Ran-Mao. Abberline then took his last breath and a few tears slid down Ciel's face. I approached my brother and drew him into a hug. I kissed him on the forehead before I picked him up into my arms. Sebastian, Ciel, and I safely got off of the ship before it sank and hopefully Lau went down with it.

Several Days Later.

Back at Phantomhive Manor.

Ciel was eventually cleared of being behind the drugs found in his warehouse. Abberline's body was recovered and he would be receiving an honorable funeral. In fact Ciel was paying for it since he valued Abberline's friendship. The case was officially closed but I knew things weren't over. Angela would be planning something again and the next time we met I hoped resulted in her demise.

I was currently in one of the gardens outside of the manor since it was a gorgeous afternoon. I was resting underneath a tree with Persephone in my lap.

"I wondered where you were Little Dhampir"

I opened an eye to see Sebastian approaching me.

"Shouldn't you be on duty?" I teased my spouse as he sat down next to me.

"The young master gave me the afternoon off Tanaka is filling in this afternoon"

Sebastian then took off his tailcoat and proceeded to roll the sleeves of his shirt up to his elbows. Persephone opened her eyes and proceeded to climb into Sebastian's lap. My mate stroked her fur affectionately and watching the two of them interact was too freaking adorable. Eventually Persephone decided she wanted to hunt so she took her larger form and ran off.

"I think Pluto might have a crush on Persephone" Sebastian said turning to me.

"I think your right"

There had been many times we witnessed the demon hound show his loveable nature to the demon cat. There have been occasions where Persephone would groom Pluto or Pluto would do the same thing with Persephone. My guardian had gotten to know the demon hound and was usually with him most of the time.

Sebastian proceeded to lay on his back and I lay my head on top of his chest. The demon proceeded to intertwine his right hand into my left and kissed it.

"You known I actually got excited when you arrived to rescue me" my husband confessed.

"Oh really? Tell me demon how did I excite you?" I asked sitting up so I could look into his gorgeous red eyes. Sebastian chuckled before placing a gloved hand on my chin in a seducing manner.

"You have a fiery spirit when your angry or in battle my love"

"I was protecting what was mine, I was protecting my mate, my husband who happens to be a demon I fell in love with"

Sebastian smirked before suddenly rolling our bodies so I was pinned beneath him. And I was bloody blushing again too. I saw that familiar lust in my husband's eyes and I reminded him not to even think about it since we were outside. Sebastian smirked before eventually giving me a quick kiss on my lips and he resumed laying on his back and I soon had my head back on his chest. We ended up having a nice nap until a loud explosion woke us up. Knowing Bard was likely responsible my beloved and I went back to the manor to find out what caused the explosion to begin with.
