Catherine's POV

"Your normally not by yourself" my grandmother told me as I watched Esme sleep.

"Two people were killed during the night" I explained. "The Undertaker was able to get a body without being torn into shreds so Ciel and Sebastian are going to speak with him"

"And you wanted to make sure Esme was safe"

I flashed my grandmother a smirk. She was right of course as always. Besides Sebastian and Ciel my daughter was precious to me.

"She'll sleep for a little bit longer so let's have some lunch" my grandmother suggested as she led me away Esme's bassinet.

True to her word we had lunch outside since it was a nice day.

"Has there been any news from the council?" I asked her.

"We suspect a Pureblood is behind these murders" my grandmother replied. "Since this vampire is using Level E's to kill he or she will be executed when caught"

"I agree with that punishment" I stated.

Suddenly the piercing cries of my daughter was heard and I hauled ass back inside. Esme never cried like that unless if something was seriously wrong. Sure enough I was right because a man I was unfamiliar with held my crying daughter in his arms. I felt his power and he was definitely a Pureblood.

"Your daughter is unique" the bastard greeted me. "I can smell her blood"

"Put my child down" I hissed. My eyes glowed and my fangs lengthened. My grandmother appeared next to me and she growled. Her own fangs were out and her eyes glowed like mine.

"Now why would I do that?" the male vampire questioned. "I merely want to sample her blood"

The Pureblood male had short dark brown hair and creepy orange eyes. He was dressed like a noble but that wasn't the point.

"My granddaughter won't repeat herself put the child down" my grandmother demanded.

"Perhaps I will for an exchange"

"Your one f**ked up vampire" I spat.

"If you value the life of your daughter then you'll hear what I have to say" the Pureblood stated.

I held back another hiss as did my grandmother.

"I am aware you are a dhampir and if you come with me I'll hand over the child"

"Fine" I agreed immediately. "But you must hand over my daughter to her great-grandmother first"

"Done you can come over and take the baby"

My grandmother immediately snatched Esme out of the bastard's arms and the next thinking I knew I was knocked unconscious.

Sebastian's POV

"My lord we must leave" I notified my master suddenly.

"What is it Sebastian?"

The Undertaker had just finished giving me and my young lord the information we needed. These murders were being done by Level E vampires. Something was wrong with Catherine because I no longer sensed her through our mate bond. The phone suddenly rang and the Undertaker went to answer it.

"WHAT?!"

The retired reaper never yelled but he was angry now. A few minutes later the silver haired mortician stormed back into his parlor.

"We need to get to Lady Annemarie's at once" he hissed.

I hurriedly had the carriage ready and it wasn't long until I drove it to Lady Annemarie's as fast as I could. The moment the carriage stopped I rushed into the manor. I found Catherine's grandmother holding Esme and I took my daughter from her.

"What's going on?" my lord questioned as he and Undertaker joined us.

Esme was thankfully not hurt but she was fussy and I rocked her. The scent of an unfamiliar male lingered on my daughter and I snarled.

"Catherine was taken in exchange for Esme's safety" Lady Annemarie informed us. "I don't know how he got into my home but he wanted to feed from Esme"

That made me and the Undertaker snarl.

"Has the council already been informed?" my master asked.

"Yes at this moment Catherine is behind looked for" Lady Annemarie confirmed.

"Sebastian we're going to search for Catherine"

This was an order and I nodded.

Esme began to whimper again and I kissed her forehead.

"Don't worry my Little Raven I will find your mother" I promised her.

I then gave Undertaker my daughter.

"Protect her"

"Oh I will you have my word" the former reaper reassured me. "I'm angry that filth wanted to feed from her to begin with"

"As am I" my master agreed.

Catherine's POV

When I regained consciousness I saw I was in a dungeon or that's what it seemed. My arms were chained above my head together while my feet were not. The lighting in the this damned place was decent enough so I could see. For the moment I was alone and I decided to see if I could try and reach Sebastian through our mate bond.

Little Dhampir are you alright? my husband's voice demanded.

Yes love I am is Esme and my grandmother alright?

When the damn Pureblood used his power to knock me out I had been worried for them.

Their fine and the Undertaker is guarding Esme

I was about to reply when I heard a door being opened. I shut off my end of the mate bond so my captor wouldn't get suspicious.

"Good your awake" the Pureblood greeted me.

"Why do you want with me?" I demanded. "News flash buddy I'm a dhampir"

"True"

The bastard licked his lips. He then approached and I hissed making sure he saw my bared fangs. I was then unable to move and the Pureblood was next to me.

"I've always liked drinking mixed bloodlines" he purred.

"Why would you send Level E's to kill innocent people?"

That made my captor growl.

"Because of humans I lost the woman I loved and our child"

He then licked my throat and I kicked him away from me. He chuckled in response.

"You smell absolutely divine for a dhampir, your blood will no doubt be delicious"

"F**k you!" I snapped

My captor smirked before taking his leave. I then remembered the mark Sebastian had given me awhile back. If I exposed it my husband would immediately find me. But first I had to get out of these damn chains and that wasn't going to be a problem.

Within my mind I imagined my chains being broken and thanks to my psychic ability they shattered. I waited for a few minutes to see if my kidnapper heard anything. For twenty minutes I waited before I lowered my shirt far until my mark became visible. It glowed and a few seconds later I was in the arms of my husband.

Well more like receiving one hell of a kiss. Sebastian eventually ended the kiss and he hugged me.

"You have no idea how worried I was about you" the demon whispered.

"Well your here now" I pointed out.

Sebastian chuckled before he kissed my forehead and took my hand into his. As we made our way out of the dungeon Sebastian explained Ciel was with Haruka Kuran and they were on the way here. The Pureblood Vampire who kidnapped me was named Shisui Kimura. According to Haruka it had been vampire hunters who killed his mate and unborn child. Thus his hatred for humans.

"And where do you think your going with my meal demon?"

Sebastian and I whirled around to find Kimura leaning against a pillar. We were in the foyer of Kimura's home and almost made it to the front door until the bastard caught us. Sebastian hissed and the Pureblood had said the wrong thing.

"You will not refer to my wife that way" my husband addressed Kimura. Sebastian's aura then began to rise and shit just got real. "And the mere fact you touched her and my precious daughter has resulted in your death warrant.

Oh man Sebastian was pissed!

My husband took off his tie and then tied it around my eyes.

"Catherine please cover your ears" my mate ordered.

I nodded and proceeded to do as the demon butler commanded.

Sebastian's POV

"So you wish to fight me demon? So be it" Kimura sneered.

"You maybe a Pureblood Vampire but I am stronger than you filth"

My eyes began to glow and soon black feathers began to fall around me as I transformed to my true form. Kimura's once smug look became one of horror.

"Now then it's time I ended you" I growled as I approached my prey and Kimura had nowhere to run.

Catherine's POV

I knew Sebastian had taken to his true form. The last time this happened was when he battled Ash. I didn't have to wait long until I smelled blood and the floor shook beneath me as Sebastian dealt with Kimura.

I never once had seen my husband in his true form and in all honesty I didn't care if I ever did see it. My love for my mate was all that mattered to me. It seemed like eternity until things were over. I felt Sebastian remove my hands away from my ears.

"It's over now my love" he promised. "I'll take the tie off in a minute"

The demon took my hand and guided me outside.

"Good work Sebastian" I heard Ciel say.

Sebastian took the tie off and with my brother was Haruka Kuran. My eyes widened at the many lifeless Level E's that lay on the ground. It was a good thing Ciel and Haruka had back up.

"By the smell of blood you killed Kimura" Haruka said to Sebastian.

"Yes he's dead" my mate confirmed. "He was a threat to my wife and daughter"

Haruka nodded and then turned to me.

"Your a lucky woman Catherine"

I smirked in response and Sebastian proceeded to kiss my forehead.

Later.

I took a longer shower than normal. I wanted the smell of Kimura off of me. Esme was now back with us and Sebastian was currently trying to get her to sleep. Once I was satisfied with my shower I wrapped a towel around my body and left the bathroom.

Sebastian was in the rocking chair and Esme was sound asleep on her father's shoulder.

"Undertaker probably didn't want to let her go" I joked.

"He didn't mind giving her back" Sebastian replied with a chuckle. "He's going to be a good partner for our Little Raven"

I sent my husband a smile before changing into my nightwear for the night. I dealt with my hair while Sebastian put Esme into her bassinet. I then let Sebastian brush my damn tangles out since they were getting on my last nerve. Sometimes having curly hair was a bitch. When he was done my husband turned me around and seized my lips with his.

Immediately I wrapped my arms around his neck so I could pull him closer to me. The demon pushed his tongue into my mouth and it danced with mine. It was a good thing I chose not to wear underwear because I was already soaked from the kiss alone. But there would be no sex tonight since I was tired and Esme was in the room.

"When I felt your part of the mate bond go silent I was scared" Sebastian admitted after our kiss stopped.

"I'm one hell of a wife of one hell of a butler so I won't go down so easily" I teased the demon.

My remark made my husband smile and he placed my forehead against mine.

"You took the words right out of my mouth Little Dhampir"
