Rosabella's POV
I wake up too the sunlight seeping through my curtains. My eyes flutter open to see I'm still wrapped in the warm embrace of my werewolf boyfriend and can't help but smile at the memory of last night. I look up to see him still fast asleep however I notice something that wasn't there before; his mark.
It's beautiful, a picture of a black wolf fading into bats can clearly be seen on his neck where I bit him yesterday. I reach up and gently trace the image, as if in a trance until I notice Jett's eyes open, his grey ones staring into my brown eyes, a smile etching his face.
"Morning gorgeous." He says tiredly, his husky morning voice warming my heart.
"Good morning Wolfie." I reply with a smile to which he reciprocates before noticing my matching mark.
"Wow, it's perfect." He states in awe as he traces my neck, sending shivers down my spine.
"Now I'm your's and you are mine, always."
"And forever" he finished with a peck to my forehead before we get up to get ready.

"You look beautiful." Jett says as I finish my makeup making me smile.
"And you look handsome. We better get downstairs and join the others." I reply while grabbing his hand and taking him downstairs.

"Morning people." I greet cheerfully as everyone smiles at us when we reach the table, "What's for breakfast?"
"Harold made us waffles!" Scarlett cheered, gesturing to our chef who was in the middle of bringing in plates from the kitchen.
"With strawberries?" I ask her, my face beaming like a child on Christmas morning.
"Yup and syrup!" This made me extremely happy, waffles are one of my favourites of Harold's dishes. I smile and thank Harold as he sets my plate down in front of me.
"Rosabella, what's that on your neck?" My mother asks causing everyone to turn to me and my cheeks to heat up bright red. Before I can reply Coral squeals loudly,
"Oh my gosh! It's their mark!"
"Mark?" My parents ask in unison before Jaycee answers them,
"The mark of a soulmate. It usually appears when wolves fall in love and mate."
My father almost choked on his food and is about to say something when my mother sends him 'the look' which makes him shut up. Meanwhile my cheeks are getting even more red while Jett scratches his neck nervously.
"Well I think it's beautiful darling." My mother says, cutting the tension straight away.

"What do you think Evangeline will be like?" Coral asks us making me roll my eyes.
Right now we are walking through the woods, on our way the the castle. The sun is beaming as birds chirp, however it isn't very warm due to it not being midday, and it being England doesn't help; I'm glad I brought a jacket.
"Do you think she'll be nicer than Rosa?" Danny asks innocent making Sate burst into a fit of giggles.
"I'm nice." I say making him give me a strange look,
"Yeah sure you are." Danny replies, avoiding eye contact as he trails off making me scoff.
Oblivious to the situation, Coral answers Danny's question, "I think she'll be nice, I mean you'd have to be nice to sacrifice yourself for love; how romantic!" She smiles in awe making me roll my eyes again,
"She was gonna die anyway." I say coldly making everyone look at me, "What? It's true!"
"But she still sacrificed herself, plus she must have been a nice person for someone to love her that much that he would sacrifice himself for her too!" Albie countered making me scoff,
"She could have just manipulated it." I shrug and Griffin turns to me,
"Damn girl, what do you have against Evangeline? You haven't even met her yet." He says making the others nod in agreement,
"I don't have anything against her. I just don't understand why your all acting like she's some amazing celebrity that everyone fawns over." I shrug, a slight tone of frustration can be heard in my voice but I honestly don't care.
Everyone exchanges looks but ultimately decide to leave the conversation there. Jett takes a hold of my hand giving it a small squeeze before Blair speaks up,
"There it is!"
We look over to where she is pointing and sure enough we can see the Addington Castle in all its glory. It's cobblestone walls are clearly aged, over growing ivy climbing them. The windows are dark, showing no sign of life, but then again the supposed residents are dead I guess.
We approach the door quietly as to not alarm anybody that could be inside. Without even knocking, I gently push open the door without a noise, allowing everyone to take a step inside.
An extremely familiar melody drifts through the air while a muffled voice can be heard very faintly using my enhanced hearing, proving the castle is in fact inhabited. I recognise the song as soon as it reaches my ears as the love song I always play, but it's different; it almost sounds sinister, as if a tragic love story is being told as it's sung. The piano notes are lower and the whole vibe while listening gives me chills.
"Bella?" I'm snapped out of my thoughts by Jett shaking my shoulders.
"Yeah?"
"You just spaced out, what's wrong?" Satana asks worriedly.
"I can hear the song, listen!"
The ones who are able to, strain their ears and recognise the song.
"Come on then!" Griff exclaims as we all follow the sound, it gets louder the more we get closer.
"Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone..."
We carefully peer through the door to which we see a girl with long, curled brunette hair playing an old piano, when I say old I mean really old!
As she finishes her song goosebumps cover my body as chills run down my spine. I notice the same effect on my friends due to the sinister aura the song has but I'm cut from my thoughts by a male voice in the room.
"That was utterly beautiful angel." He praises to which she giggles while standing from the piano, smoothing out her red and white dress.
"Why thank you Atty. I still think the song's missing something though."
"My love, you have been improving your song for almost 700 years, how can it be missing something?" He asks her with a laugh and she just shakes her head with a smile before pecking him on the lips.
All of a sudden a loud crash can be heard and we all turn to see that Danny has knocked over a vase, shit.
"What was that my love?" She questions him but before he can do anything, I take my moment to vamp speed into the room and snap her neck; don't worry she won't die, just pass out.
The immortal werewolf stands in shock, mouth agape as he stares between Evangeline and I.
"Rosabella Addington, pleasure I'm sure." I greet him with a smirk as he still struggles to form words.
"Now I know I'm hot dude, but you're going to have to stop gaping over me. I have a boyfriend, well a soulmate, and trust me he doesn't like people touching what's his." I shrug as he closes his mouth, a low growl comes from the back of his throat which is quickly matched by Jett's as he enters the room.
"How do you look like her? It's impossible, it has to be." He says with a glare making me scoff,
"Is that supposed to intimidate me," I laugh as Jett smirks at me before I continue, "God you look pathetic. Well that was obvious about little Evangeline here, I mean how can an elder vampire not know when someone is going to snap her neck! But you, well I just expected more if I'm being honest."
"What is that supposed to mean?" He asks sternly making Jett snarl at him.
"Well I mean, I just thought an over 700 year old werewolf would at least have a little bit of a backbone as to not be scared of a vampire who hasn't even reached adulthood yet." I shrug nonchalantly.
"I'm not scared of you, little girl." He attempts to frighten me which only makes me double over laughing,
"You do realise I can hear your heart rate right? It's moving faster than the people who's bodies I drain of blood until their heads are detached." I sass making him send me a strange look.
"Detached?" He asked me confused to which I roll my eyes,
"My god, how long have you stayed in this dump? Yes detached. I'm a ripper, you know the ones that can't stop feeding until they hear the satisfying thump of the head rolling on the floor." He shifts uncomfortably making me smirk to myself but before I can continue I hear groans coming from the now slightly conscious vampire on the floor.
"Ugh great she's awake." I groan with an eye roll gaining a look from the older werewolf as he kneels besides his wife.
