Hi everyone I hope your enjoying the story so far,I know I am really thrilled to be writing it and keep

geting new ideas every day to write down. ANYWAYS I shall stop rambling now and wave a disclaimer at you

the carpathian stories of the Dark series do not belong to me they are the brilliant imagings of Cristine Feehan,

though I do own Akira,Bethan, Blain,Razel ,Tristin and so forth love and peace Sweetly Decadent xxx.


Razel watched the force field guard dissipate from the front Street making Tristin raise a eyebrow before saying "I could

have just broke it down" Razel shook her head "no you could Not have, the wicce are a lot stronger in their defences then you

Would like to think Tris, come on lets see my dau.." she coughed Tristin knew this was hard for her, she loved this little girl as

Though she was her own child and it killed her knowing she Could not adopt Bethan not when her Aunts had been found &

Evidence of their fierce battle to find her was clear "I mean Charge" Razel finished lamely Tristin gave her finger tips a

gentle squeeze sending love into his life mates mind they Knocked on the door. Belle took a deep breath before answering

It when she did she smiled kindly at the couple in front of her "come on in" she said opening the door wide and gesturing with

Her arm for them to come forward, stepping forward Tristin blinked when he saw Blain standing in the passage 'identical

Twins?' he asked his life mate Razel shook her head "no" Belle answered "we where triplets though" this last statement

Held a deal of sadness "and we're not really identical" said Blain looking closer he could see what they meant aside the

Heart shaped faces, beautiful brown bordering on gold skin and gold eyes the women where different but only by a subtle

Difference it was then Tristin had realised they had heard his Thoughts "how did you do that?" he asked shocked the two

Women smiled amused "because we can, Bethan is up here Razel" Blain had said as Belle introduced her self to Tristin

Politely before asking "could you do me a favour and pick Bethan up off the bathroom floor so we can tuck her into bed?"

Tristin nodded and followed her up the stairs to where he saw Razel lovingly sing a lullaby in their native tongue tearful.

Bending over to scoop up the young woman who had the same family traits as her Aunties who showed him her room, Razel

Tenderly pulled back the blanket on the bed as he laid Bethan Down Blain took off her shoes and he watched as Belle did

Something he could not see with her hand making the child' s Clothes become what Razel called P. j' s. another thing that

surprised him "Blain, Belle" his wife said as they went down the stairs "aye?" the two women said at the same time "I would

with your permission of course…I would like to take Bethan With me too my home in the Carpathian mountains" the Aunts

stare became sharp enough to cut them Belle suddenly coughed An said "actually I think that would be a good idea, it would

Give her time to heal and I know she has been missing you Razel. When was the last time the two of You spent time

Together anyways?" Blain glared at her sister who was Unrepentant Razel looked stunned as she answered "one year

Three months five days six hours and ten minuets" this time Blain looked stunned the sighed her shoulders sagging as she

Said "I'm sorry Razel, I've been hostile to you when you have Not deserved it but you see she is my niece and the bond you

Have feels like…well it feels like your stealing the last piece of My late sister away from me when for so long I failed to find

her" Razel looked at Blain suddenly understanding the other her Completely and said "I would never do that to either of you

BUT I am sorry that I ever made you feel like this, don't you see That Bethan adores you both?" Tristin felt the tension in the air

Disappear and a new understanding bond being formed between the three women.


The next night Bethan had hugged her Angel

and Tristin tightly her delight at the news of the baby had Brought much needed joy into her life as almost immediately

Left the Aunts house for the jet after they rose but not before Many hugs and goodbyes, as the jet flew swiftly through the air

Bethan thought she had heard a outraged bellow but decided to Pretend it was her mind playing games as she relaxed & stroked

Razel' s tummy. Akira roared in frustration "how dare she leave! She is mine! another Carpathian can't have her she's my fated

Wife!" as he erupted from the ground jealousy anger clouded His mind making him forget the women of the Seren house hold

Could more then hold their own in a fight, landing with out care For being seen he completely forgot about their protective

guards around their home and tried to storm in only to be thrown Across the road and brought face to face with a vampire

"thank You for finding me fresh mates hunter" the last word was spat Out in disgust "my friends and I shall enjoy them an after

all" The vampire smirked his skeletal face looking even more Demented "it is our needs that demand satisfaction" Akira was on

his feet so quickly the vampire had barely time to blink as the Carpathian demanded "tell me your name so I can bring you

peace" the vampire grimaced at being forced to answer "Cal Roman" the two women had by now came outside angry and

Ready to fight only stopping when they saw the vampire who Tried but failed to compel "come to me Life mates" Belle raised

A eyebrow Akira noticed that the two women looked Unimpressed as he heard one of them say "go to hell" he took

the advantage of reaching the vampire who was close to them yet unable to get past the barrier they had put up but the

vampire Sensed his move and plunged it's vicious teeth into Akira' s neck, Blain and Belle shot to Akira' s aid Belle using

Her ability to levitate and throw the vampire away from Akira Blain used her crossbow to fire a shot in the vampires head

Which made him scream as the potion exploded like acid on His face Akira had blood pouring from his wound but knew he

had to finish this "I bring you peace Cal Roman" he said to the screaming vampire before taking out his heart and striking it

With lightening.
