Week and a half later. Aro's P.O.V.

It was another grueling day of nothing to do but think about a certain flower. The pains were agonizing, especially since she had sex with whoever that boy was. We were in the throne room addressing a ruling, when the constant sting we felt since Amaryllis's absence grew to a terrible fire. I was standing over the vampire who broke the rules, about to rip off his head, when the sudden pain, had me collapsing to the floor.

"Finish him off." I was able to growl out. Images flashed in my mind of a handsome boy with green eyes, moaning out in pleasure. The warmth of his body lingered uncomfortably on my skin. He smelt of sandalwood and musk. Amaryllis was fucking him. Never have I felt so helpless. I was barely able to stand and return to my throne. The look on my brother's faces suggested they weren't handling it much better that I was. There we sat trembling in agony for what felt like years. Caius had ordered the others away so they wouldn't witness us in this state. The glimpses into what was happening was appalling. She will pay for this.

"I'm going to kill….that guy," Caius was able to bite out, "Then I'll fuck her the way she deserves. She's…going to wish she never…crossed us." I couldn't even work out an answer, but I don't believe I have ever agreed so strongly with Caius before. When the pain finally went back down to bearable levels Caius started destroying everything in his path. I had to use every ounce of restraint I had, not to join him.

"You two put her through this plenty of times. We will not punish her for responding in a similar fashion." Marcus's words were laced with bitter disapproval. "You're telling me you are okay with what she did?" I growled.

"No, but we will refrain from punishment. You deserved to feel what she felt every time you laid with another." After a heated argument between the three of us we decided we wouldn't do anything to her…yet. The week that followed, we were even more on edge than before. Anyone who so much as looked at us the wrong, perished in the most terrible ways we could imagine. We've gotten on each other's nerves as well. Now, here we are in the throne room with nothing to do but think of the source of our misery.

Reading did little to distract us so we abandoned the idea long ago. Writing helped me during the first two weeks, but now even that brought little comfort. Caius had tried using Corin's ability to help a while back, but that didn't help the emptiness he felt with Amaryllis gone. Marcus fell further into his stupor, if that was even possible, and I was turning into a worse version of Caius. I was well aware of the type of person I am. I know I'm controlling, manipulative, cruel, and power hungry. I hated feeling weak, powerless, and being wrong. Oh how Caius loved to mention how wrong I was for acting on impulse and for letting her go. She obviously wasn't rotting as fast as I thought she would.

"We should retrieve her." I sighed at Caius's words. He was so impatient to see her again. I wanted her to suffer alone before we go get her, which worked to console him the first couple weeks, but after what she did, he's no longer convinced that she was having any problems being apart from us. Even though logically it made sense that she was suffering, after that night, I've been a bit unsure of it as well. Marcus was for us going to see her, but against us going to get her. He wanted her to come to us willingly. Caius and I don't give a damn about whether or not she is willing. If we go see her, we're bringing her back.

"Just wait a couple more days brother. She won't be lasting much longer."

"No! We've waited long enough for her to break, yet she hasn't. You were wrong to do the bet, you were wrong to solidify your bonds with her, and you are WRONG about her crumbling!" I narrowed my eyes at him. It was rare Caius felt the need to raise his voice, but whenever the topic is about Amaryllis, his inner beast decides to rear its ugly head. I can't help but consider just what Caius brings to the table. Before it was enough to keep him alive, but lately my patience with him is running thin. It is thanks to Chelsea's ability to tie his loyalty to me and coven that Caius is still here arguing about it as opposed to going off and doing it.

A knock on the door drew all of our attentions. In came our newest human, Olivia. Her black heals clacked against the floor as she walked towards us. Since Amaryllis, all blood I've tasted has been bland. The scents of these women are nearly repulsive. Caius and Marcus have felt the same, but something about this human's scent reminded us of Amaryllis. It wasn't strong, but there was a hint of the cinnamon, brown sugar, and berries that made my mouth water. When she stopped in front of me, I realized it wasn't coming from her, but from the letter that she held on the silver platter. Then it hit me. Along with my marvelous flower's aroma, was the overpowering scent of sandalwood and that guy's musk. I snatched the letter from the dish so quickly that Oliva dropped the plate.

On the envelope it held our address, along with an Attention to Sender section that read 'To the three shits in charge.' I couldn't help but rise from my chair in excitement. Olivia had no idea what to do so she backed up a couple steps in fear. I should kill her for dropping the plate, but I'm in such good spirits that I'll let her go.

"Thank you dear Olivia. You may leave." I signaled the few guards to exit as well. During the few seconds that they left, I carefully worked open the letter. Caius flitted over me, as well as Marcus, in an attempt to see what she wrote to us.

"It smells of that man she rutted with," Caius noted with disgust. When I unfolded the letter we were met with very sloppy hand writing.

'Dear Assholes

I'm writing cuz you bitch fucks dont have God damn phones. I don't know if you noticd but i fucked some guy and im not sorry about it neither. I hate you and i swear to FUKING CRIST that if you sleep with anyone else, even if its your wives, Im gonna fuck that fine speciman of a guy again and again until you can't do anything but scream in agony and betrayal. You Caius are the most hypocritical shit of the three. you went on and on about how gross I was for being human forever yet you fucked one today! Same with you Aro, you self righteous shit. Not only are you two sluts for cheating on your wives but your digusting for fucking your food. I hate you so much. Your slimy, nasty, pathetic, pitiful, ugly, power hungry, weak, little bastards who need to fucking jump into a fucing volcano or something. And yeah I know my writing is shit right now, im drunk as fuck. I hope each mistake messes with you.

Im so mad at you I bet your laughing it up. Well fuck you. I may be craking but I wont break before you I spent the first 8 yrs of my life were torcher was common, I can handle you snot covered slutbags. Hope you fucking die.'

I couldn't help the grin plastered on my face. This proved my guess that she was suffering. "See brother, I told you patience would pay off." I didn't know for sure whether or not she would feel or see when we mated with someone else. Evidently she could. Caius was visibly shaking at her insults. Marcus's face betrayed nothing, but I caught the glimmer in his eyes while reading.

I summoned the guard to come in and ordered them to fetch us three of the newest cell phones along with a couple computers. We haven't used phones for personal use before. It was mainly the secretaries that used them, but for Amaryllis, it would be best to get our own technology. I had a computer, but used it only for information. Caius and Marcus, on the other hand, haven't bothered to learn a lot of the new human tech, especially not a computer. Amaryllis was right- one of our assistants will have to teach us the video chat.

"I'm not calling her." Caius interjected. I looked him over with a bored expression. "Very well. I didn't intend to force you." It was an exciting concept to be able to see her when she was so far away, but until I learn the 'video chat,' I will settle with only hearing her voice. A smile crept on my face as I delicately folded the paper. This was going to be such fun.
