“What is your uncle's name?” Haven turned to face me now. “His name is Ulric, he is insane and power-hungry. He thinks Ruby is valuable, he sent me to spy on her years ago. I haven’t been in my true form since.”I can see genuine fear in her eyes, I wouldn’t need to smell her fear to know that she is truthful. The pain she must have faced at his hands must have been excruciating. “Dez, I want Haven to remain with me. I will keep her safe, she can be a guest of the coven.” “Sir, she is not a vampire, they will not allow her to stay there.” So they hid her for her safety, that makes sense. “They have to, Haven is my mate. We may not be allowed to seek out our mates but if we happen to cross paths then it is considered a gift from the gods. Not all are fortunate enough to be blessed like this. Therefore, we cannot actively search. A loophole to our laws, most common vampires are unaware of this. This information is slowly passed down to each leader, but told to be kept secret from our sub

“Will Haven be safe with the coven? She is important to Ruby. How do you know she is your mate?” Dez looks slightly puzzled. I took a breath, “Haven is in a vulnerable state, she is extremely lonely and open to finding her mate. So she accepted me instantly. I can see you are worried, do you have any concerns?” “I am not sure what I am supposed to feel. I know that I would do anything for Ruby.” Dez said with confidence. “That is what you are supposed to feel. When she fully accepts you, there will be an electric pull and you will be able to find her wherever she may be.” Dez looked down. “Dezmond, from my understanding Ruby has been through a lot in her short life. She is more guarded but I see the love in her eyes when she looks at you. She needs time.” “You are right. I know she trusts me, I know she loves me. I don’t understand what is holding her back.” Dez said softly. “Be there for her. I know she will accept you. Her heart already has, she is already yours.” **Ruby** “Ru

**Dez**Dezmond woke in a cold sweat. The ache in his heart was worse than ever before. It had been growing more intense over the past few weeks. He got out of bed and went to the bathroom to wash his face. He didn't bother looking in the mirror, he knew what he would see. His face would be white and his eyes haunted with the need to find answers. Dezmond needed to know why he was being tormented in his dreams. He was never supposed to dream again."I can't take this anymore." said Dezmond gloomily.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~**Ruby**Ruby couldn't focus in class, another night of tossing and turning. Seeing the flames consume her house. Hearing the screams as her family slowly died, knowing there was nothing she could do. It had been almost three years since the incident. The day she lost her family in the fire. She was the only one who wasn'

**Dez**("I adjusted her mind. I hope you don't mind, but I need to keep you close. You are in danger.") Ruby looks like she's thinking things over. "I'm sorry, Haven, I'm just really tired."("Thank you. I promise to explain everything to you later.") She composed herself quickly. ("How long have we been dating then? It's going to be hard pretending like I know you. And can you hear everything I'm thinking or just what I say to you?") He didn't answer, great. Now I have to be careful what I am thinking until I know the answer. "Ruby, I have to go home for a couple days. My mom needs me for a family emergency, she didn't say what's going on though." Haven looked worried; she was frowning. "Okay, do you want me to help you pack?" She smiled before saying, "No thanks, I want to be alone for a bit. I'll make sure I lock the doors when I leave. My flight leaves in a few hours so I have to hurry." "Alright, text me when you land." She hugged Haven

*Unknown*“She will be mine, her whole family will pay for what they done to us.” The rage was getting harder to contain. I feel like I will explode if I have to wait any longer. How can anyone cause that much damage and then act like they haven’t done anything wrong! She needs to know our pain. She will know this torment and I will enjoy every second of her anguish.“Sir, there is someone here to see you.” Not making eye contact.“Thank you, Gemma. Bring them to me.” This is the perfect plan. I will not fail this time. The fire was an amateur attempt. I should have known she was smart, like her mother. That bitch just knew when something was going to happen. Her father was not as smart but could fight and he was fast.*Dez*Viktor said to make sure I wasn’t followed, this has to be serious. He is not this secretive.“Is Ruby safe?&r

*Ruby*It had only been on night since Dez had left. I feel completely empty and the energy outside wasn’t normal. Even the dogs could sense something wasn’t right. They have been pacing and sniffing the air all day. They have refused to go outside. When I opened the door they just stared outside. Growling at something I couldn’t see. Maybe getting them wasn’t a good idea, they can’t protect me from this. At least I’m not alone.*Unknown*“Haven! How have you been?” She has grown so much. It’s time for her to take her place in our family.“I’m fine, Uncle. Mom said there was an emergency and you needed to see me right away.” Haven kept her eyes down. She knew better than you challenge me.“I see you haven’t forgotten your place. That’s good. You have been under cover for some time now. Have

*Haven* I don’t want to betray Ruby, she has never done anything to me. In fact she was the nicest person I have ever met. I love her more than I have ever loved anyone, including my crazy family. They blame Ruby for our family’s downfall. I don’t think she would ever intentionally hurt anyone. Fuck! I hear him coming over here. “Mmmm something new to play with, come here and I’ll make sure it won’t hurt so bad.” He smells like he’s been down here forever. “Stay away from me!” I had accidentally backed into a corner. His smile was evil and his eyes were soulless. He was closing in on me, I have nowhere to hide. I’m trapped. Should I fight back or just go limp and let whatever happens happen. He’s close enough I can smell his stagnant breath. He reached for my throat and I ducked out of the way and ran. I didn’t get far, maybe ten feet. “Haven, didn’t you miss me? We used to have so much fun. Don’t you remember?” H
Secrets Within 6
**Dez**Viktor told me that I can not return home. He said that it is very important to make sure Ruby stays safe. Ozias and Atara are the only ones we can trust. They are headed to the vault to go over the prophecy. I have been back with Ruby for four days. She has been a little distant with me, I hope she tells me what is bothering her. It seems like she wants to tell me something. The dogs are very alert. It seems like they know something is coming. I haven’t sensed anything yet. I am starting to think they aren’t normal dogs. Maybe I am just being more paranoid since the talk with Viktor.“Hey, Dez. Can I talk to you please?” Ruby walked in the living room.“Of course, love. You can talk to me about anything.” I want her to know she can trust me completely.“You seem like something is bothering you. Is everything ok?” The dogs never left Ruby’s side. She named the male, Phantom and the female Luna.
