Catherine's POV
"Your joking!" I roared as I finished reading the invitation Alois Trancy sent. Ciel and Sebastian winced at my angry tone. "That little brat regrets how things went at the costume ball?! That's bullshit!"
I slammed the invitation down hard on the desk.
"Tell me your not considering for us to go Ciel?"
Sebastian and I had been invited along too.
"Sebastian found out something of interest during the costume ball" Ciel replied. "The Trancy household might have also been involved in the death of our parents besides Queen Victoria"
I hadn't been expecting that news. Knowing this was a good chance to investigate further into our parent's demise I reluctantly agreed.
"However little brother I will not be leaving you to fend for yourself this time, if that little shit even thinks about killing you I'll do it myself"
Ciel smirked at my remark and Sebastian did the same.
Next Day.
"Ciel! Catherine! It's good to see you two again!" Alois greeted as we came out of the carriage.
I didn't reply and Ciel thankfully spoke for us. Claude and Sebastian glared at one another before Alois suggested we follow him. He led us to the back garden area where a huge chessboard was.
"I had this made so the butler's and servants could battle while we watch"
Ciel grabbed my hand when I growled and gave it a squeeze. My brother then took his eyepatch off revealing the contract in his eye and he ordered for Sebastian to win this match and bring Alois to Ciel alive.
Before Ciel and I went to sit down Sebastian kissed my forehead. The demon triplets and the female demon who was named Hannah each had a sword. I didn't know what Claude had and I didn't give a damn. Sebastian would use his usual silverware to fight. Just as things were about to begin Viscount Druitt interrupted.
"What the hell is he doing here?!" I demanded standing up.
"He was sent an invitation" Alois explained. "But it would seem he misunderstood the schedule for the costume ball"
Claude was talking with Lord Druitt and smoke came out of my nose since I was irritated at seeing him.
"Alois my sister isn't fond of Lord Druitt so it would be wise to keep his distance" Ciel warned.
"Oh I'll make sure he behaves" Alois reassured but I didn't believe the little brat's words. Druitt noticed Hannah and he flirted with her for a few minutes before eventually taking a seat. I shot the womanizing Viscount a glare before I sat down again.
The battle began with the demon triplets charging at Sebastian. My husband easily dodged their attacks and he broke their weapons easily. Each of them got spears and again they attacked my mate. I watched as Sebastian dodged once more and he taunted the demon brothers and whatever he said annoyed them.
Each of their spears formed into one giant spear and they jumped high into the air and threw the weapon at Sebastian. Smirking my husband put away his silverware before making a few sexy moves before he was able to throw the spear back at the brother's. They ended up well let's just say they were defeated and let's leave it at that.
It was Hannah's turn and she started things off by throwing daggers at Sebastian. The blades ended up creating holes in his tailcoat. I then began to laugh as my husband pulled off his tailcoat and began to mend it using a thread and needle while dodging the bullets Hannah unleashed using a set of guns.
Then she used a machine gun and again Sebastian avoided getting hit while putting his repaired tailcoat back on. Then he leapt into the air and threw many silver knives in her direction. She was eventually defeated by being pinned to a giant chess piece.
"Aw hell not now" I complained feeling the thirst for blood.
Suddenly Sebastian appeared next to me with a glass of blood. I took the glass from him and he kissed my forehead before he left to start lunch. Thankfully Lord Druitt and Alois didn't pay attention when I greedily downed the blood in the glass. Eventually I finished it and set it on the table in front of me.
Ciel and I watched in amusement as Sebastian and Claude went through a food fight. I know Claude was thinking how delicious Ciel's soul would be. Sebastian had no intention of letting that happen to my brother because if he failed to protect Ciel my husband would have to deal with a very angry Sadie.
I snorted when I saw that Claude and Sebastian managed to form statues out of the food they flung at one another. The mere thought of having anything to eat made me nauseous so I sat close to Ciel when lunch was served followed by dessert. Druitt loved both desserts made by the demon butlers and couldn't make a decision between the two.
He eventually excused himself and eventually the match between Claude and Sebastian was about to begin.
Do me a favor love and kick his ass! I told Sebastian through the mate bond.
Gladly my love my husband answered.
Claude took off his glasses and my eyes went wide as the Trancy butler managed to pull out a damn sword from Hannah. I won't even go into detail about how this was done. Then both butlers charged at one another. Claude made the first move and he ended up breaking the knives Sebastian had been using. This was followed by a giant chess piece being torn in half by the damn sword Claude used.
Ciel then suggested Alois give us a tour of the manor. I told Sebastian what was happening via the mate bond and Sebastian advised me not to leave Ciel alone. Ciel had no plans to have a tour of the manor and once inside my brother and I came to a stop. Ciel took off his gloves and turned to Alois.
"This nonsense ends today Trancy" Ciel began. "Your butler desires my soul and you for some reason want me, I'm afraid I can't allow your schemes to continue, so my sister and I challenge you to a duel"
"I was wondering when you would say those words brother" I smirked pulling my swords out from their pouches I kept on my pants.
Alois accepted the challenge and gave a sword to Ciel while he kept one for himself. After the three of us walked away from one another and after the count of five I already had one of my swords touching Trancy's back while Alois had his sword pointed at Ciel's face.
"Lady Catherine you are a skilled sword wielder I'm impressed" Alois praised.
Ciel and I then began the dance of blades against our opponent. I had to admit Alois was skilled with a sword and there were multiple times I had a close call getting seriously hurt. Then Alois gave Ciel a kick to his back before running off taunting us.
Angrily I ran after the little shit and leapt into the air. I threw the sword in my left hand at Alois and then blonde used his blade to swing it away from him. My sword fell to the first floor and when I came upon Alois I threw my fist forward and gave the little brat a well deserved punch in the gut. Using that moment to his advantage Ciel attacked.
I would let my brother have the chance to fight one on one with Alois. After a few minutes the the blonde managed to pin Ciel against the banister and knowing what was about to happen I jumped off the second floor and caught Ciel before he could even hit the floor when he fell over the banister.
While I held Ciel in one arm I used my free hand which still held one sword to block Alois. Then Alois used his sword to send mine out of my hand and the blow ended up cutting my face. Then the blonde pressed the tip of his sword where my heart was.
"I'll make sure your precious demon mate sees me kill you Catherine along with that abomination inside you"
But before the fatal blow was even made Ciel managed to pierce his sword into Alois just as Sebastian, Claude, and Druitt arrived. Ciel then pulled his sword out from Alois and the blonde fell onto his back.
"No one threatens my sister and her child" Ciel spat.
As Alois yelled out in pain I decided to make him suffer. My eyes glowed blue as I grabbed Alois by his hair and I sank my fangs into his throat. His blood was delicious and I enjoyed hearing the brat scream as I fed from him. Eventually I released Alois and tossed him to the floor. He was still alive but if not given medical attention soon he would die. Claude and Sebastian tried to approach but Ciel told my husband not to.
Sebastian obeyed and Ciel approached Alois and pressed his sword tip at Alois's chest.
"It's time you died" Ciel hissed.
As Ciel raised his sword Claude suddenly appeared behind my brother.
"Get the hell away from my brother!" I roared charging forward and I slapped Claude hard. I got Ciel away from the Trancy butler and Sebastian was shortly beside us.
"Are you both alright?" my husband asked.
"Yes" Ciel confirmed.
Claude then licked some of the blood off of his face and suddenly his eyes lit up.
"Well Sebastian it would seem your wife's blood is tasty"
"EXCUSE ME?!" I demanded and Sebastian held me back. I didn't fight back knowing my mate was stronger.
I guess when I slapped him my blood was smeared onto Claude's cheek.
"Due to the circumstances this dance is over and I'd advise not talking about my wife's blood like that again Claude"
When Sebastian said those words it made me shiver. My husband was angry another demon had the nerve to taste my blood. Sebastian pulled me so I faced him instead of Claude and he kissed my forehead. That calmed me down and a few minutes later my husband, brother, and I left the Trancy estate.
Back at Phantomhive Manor.
"Damn that demon" I spat as I scrubbed away Claude's scent off of my body. I was still rattled up he even tasted my blood.
Again smoke came out of my nose due to my annoyance. Once I had enough of my bath I got out and dried off. I needed a distraction but I had no idea what would suffice. I definitely wasn't in the mood for sex though the idea was tempting.
A knock at my bedroom door broke my train of thoughts and I went to see who it was. Well I pulled on a robe first over my nightgown. It was Mey-Rin and she handed me a few books and I thanked her before we bid each other good night.
The books were more horror ones and I smirked. I was coming to enjoy the horror genre. I read the synopsis of the books and they sounded promising.
"I see Mey-Rin brought you more books" Sebastian said as he entered our bedroom.
"I needed something to distract myself" I explained to my husband.
"You should try another genre besides horror" Sebastian teased and I rolled my eyes. My husband then looked at my breasts and his eyes widened
"Get your mind out of the gutter my breasts are getting bigger due to the pregnancy" I reprimanded him. "And their starting to hurt a little too"
"I'm sorry my love" my mate apologized. He the smirked. "Would you like for me to massage them?"
I threw my robe at the demon in annoyance and Sebastian caught it with a smirk. Suddenly Sebastian reappeared behind me and he wrapped his arms around my waist. He placed his head onto my shoulder.
"I'm not sure you are aware my love but you are glowing a bit"
"Duh I'm carrying a child demon" I pointed out to him.
I then swore when one of Sebastian's gloved hands began to massage one of my breasts. It wasn't anything sexual instead my husband was giving me much needed relief from the soreness. By the time he finished his task my breasts hurt less.
"Thank you I needed that" I confessed flushing slightly.
"I don't like seeing my bride in pain" Sebastian answered kissing my cheek and he pulled away from me.
"Just out of curiosity can't a demon scent the gender?" I asked referring to the baby.
"Yes but it's still too early to scent the hormone" Sebastian replied. He took off his gloves and removed his tailcoat. "Though I'm pretty certain we are having a girl"
"Oh? And why do you think it's a daughter?" I inquired.
"For one the maternal side of your family is mostly female"
My mate was right on that one. Levi was the first boy born in about four generations on the maternal side. So it was highly possible we would have a girl.
"My second guess is just a hunch and most of the time my hunches are accurate"
"Well we will find out once the child is born"
"Indeed we shall" Sebastian agreed coming over to me again. My mate kissed my forehead and drew me into him. "I was worried about you before"
"Remember Sebastian I'm simply one hell of a warrior and I don't lose my battles that easily"
My remark made my husband chuckle.
"And your one hell of a wife my love and eventually you'll be one hell of a mother"
