Catherine's POV

"Undertaker! We got your message! You about?!" Ciel called out to the silver haired reaper as he opened the parlor door.

This morning Ciel received the mortician's message saying he had new information for us.

"No need to shout my lord I'm right here"

Undertaker was standing over a coffin which no doubt had a new client. Sebastian shut the door behind him since I had Esme in my arms.

"What news do you have for us?" Ciel asked before remembering Undertaker's payment method.

Sebastian thankfully made the retired reaper laugh this time round because I didn't have any damn jokes to tell.

"Oh my that was hilarious!" Undertaker said with a happy sigh. He then took out a jar and held it up to the light. "These are your killers"

The three of us got a closer look at what was in the jar and inside were two spiders. They were dead but still in perfect shape. One spider was jet back with a red hour glass mark on its abdomen and the other was brown.

"A black widow and a brown recluse" Ciel pointed out.

These two spiders were deadly and if their bites weren't treated they could prove fatal.

"I found these arachnids on my customer from yesterday, his funeral is today and I was making the final preparations when I saw these little beasts"

"The killer might attend the funeral" Sebastian suggested. "They do have a tendency to do that"

"When does this man have his funeral?" Ciel questioned Undertaker.

"Shortly my lord it is a good possibility the person responsible will be there"

The retired reaper gave us the directions to where the service was being held and we went to the cemetery grounds after we left the funeral parlor. Not once did Esme wake up from her nap in my arms. She was one hell of a sleeper mind you.

Once we exited the carriage Ciel told Sebastian to get a closer look at the family members of the deceased man and my husband did his signature bow before sneaking off. Ciel and I kept a good distance away so we wouldn't rouse suspicion.

A woman who looked to be the same age as the man was weeping profusely. She wore a wedding ring so the victim had to be her husband. Beside her were two children that looked to be about ten and seven years old. Undertaker arrived shortly with the coffin containing the poor soul who died. The children began to cry and it broke my heart.

"This is horrible" I growled.

"I agree and it's important we find this spider user quickly" Ciel agreed with me.

The funeral was short and sadly Ciel and I didn't see any suspicious people. Either the killer was very good at hiding themselves or they didn't come. Sebastian returned once the coffin was being lowered into the ground. The three of us headed back to the carriage and we were on our way back to the townhouse.

"What did you find out?" Ciel asked.

"Not much I'm afraid my lord" my husband replied. "Not one of the funeral attendees looked or acted suspicious however I did learn an interesting rumor"

Now this got my attention as it did with Ciel's.

"The deceased supposedly was unfaithful to his wife"

"I see so the murderer is someone who kills men who cheat on their spouse"

"That seems the most likely scenario" I stated. "It's a good motive for murder"

Julia's POV

"Stupid bloke" I growled watching the funeral of the man who's soul I just collected come to an end.

I was glad Grell wasn't with me because Sebastian, Catherine, and Lord Phantomhive had been at the funeral themselves. They were no doubt investigating for the queen. The man had been a cheating bastard but that didn't mean he had to die. I felt bad for the wife and children.

I sighed before completing my report. If these murders kept happening it was possible I would have overtime and I hated overtime.

Catherine's POV

"Ouch! Little Minx you must stop biting me" I reprimanded my daughter she began to nurse.

Sebastian chuckled and I sent my husband a glare.

"I have a surprise for you Little Dhampir"

I arched an eyebrow and the demon smiled before showing me two tickets.

"It's been awhile since we last had a night alone my love and knowing you liked Hamlet the young master bought these for us for a showing tonight"

"Remind me to embarrass my brother when I see him again"

"I'm sure that will be amusing" my husband stated before he came over to me. He stroked Esme affectionately on the cheek. "Lady Clarke is in town and will be spending the night here and she will watch Esme"

I nodded and sighed in relief when Esme finished nursing.

"Good god" I swore seeing the bite marks from Esme's fangs.

Sebastian snorted before taking our daughter from me so she could be burped.

Ciel's POV

I was still in deep thought on who this killer was. I just hoped he or she would make a stupid move so they could be arrested. My train of thought was interrupted by a knock at the door. I called for whoever it was to come in and my beautiful fiancée entered.

"Hello Little Mate it's been awhile"

"Indeed it has" I agreed standing up.

The last time I saw Sadie had been a month ago after we returned to England. Sadie had been busy with her studies as I had been with my work. I kissed my future bride on the hand and as usual she blushed. She and I caught up with one another while Sebastian brought tea for us.

"The Undertaker is Esme's mate?" the dragoness asked.

"Yes trust me I was just as surprised as were her parents"

"Fate works in odd ways"

I noticed Sadie was acting nervous about something and I wanted to put her mind at ease.

"What is it love?"

"Huh? Oh well I was just wondering when you wanted for us to get married" she confessed.

"Your not in a hurry to become my wife already are you?" I teased.

"Oh stop it" my beloved muttered.

I chuckled before resuming the conversation.

"What did you have in mind about our wedding?"

"Well I would like to finish my medical studies and wait until your at least seventeen"

Her request made sense and it was fine with me.

"If that is what you want Sadie I'm fine with your request, I still need to grow more height wise anyway"

"Are you implying your still short Little Earl?"

"I'm still shorter than you" I pointed out.

That made both of us laugh.

Catherine's POV

Sebastian dressed up in his tutor attire while I wore my favorite dress. In case you forgot it was the dress Ciel gave me as a wedding present. Sadie promised Esme would be fine before Sebastian and I left the townhouse for our date.

"Are you hungry Little Dhampir?" my husband asked as the carriage headed to where the play was happening.

I shook my head and the demon chuckled. There was a good sized crowd when we arrived at the theater. Ciel had gotten us good seats and after sitting down the play started shortly afterwards. Immediately I became engrossed with the plot line and the actors.

I mean the version of Hamlet that Ciel and our friends performed was amateur level compared to the show I was watching now. Hell even Sebastian got excited when the duel against Hamlet and Laertes was performed and when both actors supposedly died there was a lot of booing and protests.

"That was damn good" I told Sebastian as we made our way out of the theater after the play was finished.

"It was indeed it has been a century since I last saw Hamlet"

Immediately I flashed my husband a glare and the demon smirked. My beloved then helped me back into the carriage and before joining me he told the driver where to go.

"We have some time before we head back" Sebastian explained. I saw his eyes glow and I knew he was up to something.

The carriage pulled into a park and Sebastian talked with the driver while I wondered what was going on. My question was answered when the driver walked away and the demon came back into the carriage shutting the door behind him.

"What about the horses?" I asked.

"Their tethered securely to a tree close by and I'll attach them back to the carriage before our driver comes back"

Sebastian then closed the carriage curtains letting darkness take over. My husband offered his hand out to me and I placed mine into it. I blushed when the demon placed me into his lap. He removed his gloves using his teeth and took his glasses off before he began to kiss the left side of my neck.

I fisted his hair and let a moan escape my lips. Soon his kisses along my neck turned into patterns thanks to his tongue. Having enough I claimed his lips with mine and a fiery dominance battle followed. And I mean a tongue dance mind you. Afterwards Sebastian gently nipped the tops of my breasts leaving bite marks before he titled my head back and the next thing I knew he bit hard into my left shoulder where he had left his mark four years ago.

My skin burned a little where the demon was currently biting me. Eventually Sebastian pulled away and he licked the blood away from the wound where his fangs pierced me. He then gave me a mirror and I saw the same exact contract mark the demon had on his left land looking back at me.

"Now I will know whenever you are in danger so I can protect you Catherine" Sebastian explained before kissing the mark gently with his lips. "And no one but me can see the mark so don't fret"

I blushed at this remark and the demon chuckled before giving me another mind blowing kiss before he went to deal with the horses so they could be attached back to the carriage. The driver returned shortly afterwards and I ended up falling asleep in my husband's arms on our way back to the townhouse.
