Then, I crushed my lips down onto hers as I wrapped my arms around her, pulling her to my chest. My lips moved passionately with hers, and she took me inside, as my tongue danced with hers before our family and friends. At that moment, there was no one else in the world, just Leila and me.

"Ahem," the minister discreetly cleared his throat a few minutes later, gaining our attention as everyone laughed.

I didn't want this moment to end, but Leila pulled back, and her cheeks filled with a lovely rose as she looked up at me through her long eyelashes, laughing.

I pulled back and gave my sweet Leila one last kiss. "This is just the beginning," I promised.

"I'm counting on it," she said, nestling her head onto my chest just under my shoulder. "I love you."

"Always and forever," I agreed, then turned her around and we faced our family and friends. The whole church erupted into a round of applause and smiles as I wrapped my arm protectively around my lovely bride. I laughed as we walk

    As Leila and I played with our son, the bandleader whispered something in Drake's ear and Drake got up and walked over to me. "It's time," he said, touching my arm. Drake stood and raised his hands to silence the crowd as he raised his wine glass. "I'd like to make a toast to my best friends, Leila and Lance Steel. Congratulations on your marriage. May your days be filled with love and happiness. Cheers." He, along with the crowd, raised their wine glasses and drank, and then he added, "And Lance, don't keep Leila away from the hospital too long."The crowd laughed, and I said, "Who says I'm bringing her back?"Everyone laughed again, and Drake laughed as he raised his glass.I nodded and handed our son to Amy, giving him one last sweet kiss. I stood and addressed the crowd. "On behalf of my wife, Leila, and me, I'd like to thank you all for coming and sharing this very special occasion with us. I know that everyone is hungry, but before we indulge, I'd like to make a toast to my

    True to my prediction, Leila was asleep within minutes after takeoff from Heathrow International Airport in the United Kingdom. As the sun began to set outside the jet window, I thanked my lucky stars for all of the blessings in my life. I didn't know what I would do without Leila, Jase, or my friends, Drake and Kellen, just to name a few.I dozed off myself until I felt Jase squirm in my arms. I woke with a jolt and he was rubbing his hands lightly on the sides of my cheeks as he looked into my eyes. His eyes were wise beyond his young age. I wondered what he was thinking at that moment, but knew that at this rate, he would be talking soon. As quietly as I could, I took a bottle from the diaper bag and fed him while Leila slept beside me. After Jase had his fill, he drifted off to sleep again. Eight hours later, the rumble of the plane rang loudly in the cabin as it descended and jolted as it touched down lightly on the runway at Miami International Airport. John threw the engines

    We arrived in Aruba early the next morning. I managed to sleep a bit on the flight, along with Leila and Jase, but felt wide awake and refreshed in the early morning sunshine. Before the Werewolf-Vampire War, Leila and Amy had developed a sunlight serum for vampires. I just had to take three injections over three days and, so far, it was enough to block the radiation in sunlight and prevent the radiation poisoning that severely affects vampires. "Leila," I said, gently shaking her shoulder. "Leila, we're here." She smiled and stretched, and then her eyes immediately looked for Jase. "Here. I'll take him," she said, reaching for him. "You've been holding him all night. Your arms are probably ready to fall off."I laughed. "I'm a vampire, Leila. He's as light as a feather to me." She stood, and I followed, carrying Jase. "Let's go. I have a surprise for you."Leila laughed, shaking her head. "You always lean toward extravagance."I shrugged. "Well, I can't have you and my son stay

    "You don't have to carry me," Leila whispered, careful not to wake Jase. "As your husband, it's my job to carry you over the threshold," I said, nuzzling into her neck. "Besides, I wouldn't miss this for the world.""As you wish, kind sir," she teased, pulling my head down to her lips. I laid her down in the middle of the king-sized bed and slid in next to her, leaning over her, careful not to crush her, while never breaking the kiss. She opened her lips and took my tongue inside, swirling her tongue with mine as my hand brushed her long blonde hair away from her beautiful face. She raised her trusting blue eyes to mine, filled with a wonderful combination of lust and love. "You're so beautiful.""Make love to me," she said, arching her back, pushing her breasts to my chest as she slid under my body. "I want you inside of me now.""Yes, ma'am," I teased as I ran my hands along the sides of her breasts and down her sides. I pushed up the hem of her dress, looped the sides of her

    Since Jase was still sleeping, we opted to catch up on our sleep, as well. I slept like the dead beside Leila all afternoon. In the middle of the night, she nuzzled onto my shoulder and slid her arm over my chest. And it felt like home. I was amazed that even though I had lived so many years on this earth, it had taken me this long to finally find my soul mate the woman I was meant to spend my eternity with. I pulled her to my chest and we both fell back to sleep, safe in each other's arms. "Aahhh!!!" a little voice cooed from across the room the next morning. "Da, da, da, da, da!"I opened my eyes, the sunlight almost blinding me, but it felt good against my face. For so many years, I wasn't able to go out into the sun, let alone wake to golden sunshine streaming in through the window. But I quickly pushed the thought aside; Jase was saying my name! At that moment, I was so thankful that we hadn't left him at home. His childhood was going to be short and I didn't want to miss any

    First, we went to the tidal pools, the natural bridges, and Jase loved the wild sea life. Then, we went sailing. It was a lovely day, with a slight breeze blowing over us, the sky was bright blue with white, puffy clouds, and the water was crystal clear. We looked down into the water and showed Jase the ocean wildlife, even sharks, but the sharks got one whiff of me and took off. Vampires are the ultimate predator, and even sharks know it. I had arranged for a picnic lunch and we ate on the sailboat. Jase hinted at wanting blood, but we quietly told him that he couldn't have any just yet. Even though he was the equivalent of a one-year-old child-or older now-I knew that I was going to have to have a talk with him about appropriate behavior around humans very soon.By the end of the day, Jase was getting tired and fell asleep before we got back to our hut. After he was wrapped snuggly in his blankets, Leila turned to me. "Would you like some wine before dinner?"I shook my head. "No

    The monster laughed and shrugged. "Sorry, but I'd rather have hers; she smells too delicious." Then, he bared his fangs. "Now!" I yelled and Leila's body immediately went limp, slipping through the monster's arms to the floor. It happened so abruptly that the monster was startled as I grabbed him by the throat and pushed him outside onto the back porch. "Is there anyone else with you?""No no no one else!" the monster stammered, his green eyes barely visible beneath the milky film covering them."Did you follow us?""Follow you?""To Aruba!" I yelled, seeing red as I held his throat. "Did you follow us here?!""No! No!" he whimpered, cowering, a far cry from his confident attitude a few minutes before. "I live here!""And your friends?""What?""Focus!" I yelled, leaning him back over the railing. "Your friends! Did they live here, too?""No, no " he cowered, "No, they were from somewhere else ""Where?" I pressed, leaning him over the railing so far that his back almos

    Once Jase was settled, Leila turned to me. "What did you mean back there when you said 'until we find out who's behind this'?" she asked in a low voice. "You really don't think ""I don't know what to think, Leila." I took the exit headed toward the airstrip, constantly looking in the rearview mirror to make sure that we weren't followed. "What makes you say that?""The one that had you " I began, cringing at the thought of Leila at the mercy of that monster. "He said that he lived here, but the other two were from the United States.""No " Leila said in disbelief. "He also said that they were told that Jase's blood would cure them." I hated to have to tell her this, but she really needed to know. Then, I looked directly into her eyes. "They were after our son.""Oh, my God!" Leila said in disbelief. "If someone knows or even suspects that dhampir blood will cure vampirism, then The Outsiders will be looking for him. They have no other recourse."Then, she turned to me. "We

    Leila reached over and took her from me. "Well, Amy and Angela went through a lot of trouble to organize a surprise anniversary party for us, so you'd better not disappoint them and look surprised."In the last several months since The Outsiders attacked and Leila was turned into a vampire, the cure had been perfected and several vampires were turned successfully back into humans. We had to set up a secret relocation program for them, as well, as they would no longer be able to protect themselves from supernatural creatures. Many of the innocent Outsiders were also turned into humans again, successfully. Once they had the cure, their bodies reverted back to their human form, to our relief. Also, Drake had built a private facility just for vampires going through The Change, headed by Amy and Elias. They both would be busy for a long time.I raised my eyebrows and opened my mouth, over exaggerating mock shock. "How's this?""Silly Daddy!" Sirena said as she laid her head on her mothe

    "Something tells me that you won't need to bite your wrist for me anymore," she joked, suddenly sounding more like herself."Leila!" I said, crying openly as I pulled her to my chest. I pulled back and crushed my lips to hers, and she responded with all of the pent up passion that we both felt. "Leila, love. I'm so sorry ""Shush," she cooed, looking into my eyes. "It wasn't your fault.""Yes, it was!" I said, as tears ran down my cheeks. "I should have protected you. I should have been there for you!""Shush," she said, then smiled. "You were." I looked at her, puzzled. "You were with me in my heart. Before I died, you were the last thing I thought of; your face was the last thing I saw in my mind. I love you, Lance.""I love you, too," I cooed, "always and forever."Suddenly, the noise behind us began to die down. I helped Leila to her feet. Drake and Amy were behind us, still protecting us, having never left our sides. Amy was holding her scythe, and Drake held my sword. "Than

    "Leila?!" I yelled at the top of my lungs as the screams of dying vampires resonated within the cave behind me. I closed my eyes for a moment and then silently prayed. "Please, help me to find them."I opened my eyes. As I looked at the caves, the one in the center of the humongous cavern stood out. I ran down the narrow path, throwing vampires over my head behind me as I ran, letting my coven tear them apart, and killed several at once, taking their heads off easily with my sword. I threw several against the wall with a wave of my hand, who were ripped apart by shifters. Then, I shoved my hand into the chest of another vampire with milky white eyes when he got too close and listened to his screams as he burst into flames. I jumped over his flaming body when I saw a faint light at the end of the tunnel, running my sword through another vampire that was coming at me. As he lay on the ground, I stomped on his throat and ripped his head from his body. As I rushed down the tunnel toward t

    We ran over the rough terrain as the wind blew past us. The sun was high overhead, but the heat didn't affect vampires the way it affected humans. None of the elements did. We ran over mountains and even jumped over a gorge, not losing one vampire. Within minutes, the sound of running water rushing by filled my ears and I knew we were getting close. Soon, the black and red mountain peaks rose up before us. Within minutes, we were on the edge of Promontory Point, on the west side of the Hoover Dam.I looked down at the blue lake and at all of the surrounding igneous rock formations that created mountains, just as Xander came up on my right side. "She could be anywhere."Xander clasped a hand on my shoulder. "We'll find her." Then, he turned to his wolf pack, who had joined us. "Split up! Look for any sign of Leila and the baby!" Xander then began ordering his pack to go in every direction. Immediately, they leapt and turned into werewolves in midair, digging into the sand and pushing

    I pulled the phone out of my pocket and dialed Javier's number."Mr. Steel," he answered on the first ring. "Who was standing guard?""Gregory and Cal," he said in clipped tones, knowing that I meant the penthouse"The Outsiders took Leila," I said, headed down the stairwell. "Round up some men. We're going after her. Meet me in the lobby in five.""Yes, sir," he said as I hung up the phone and dialed Ferdinand's number. "Mr. Steel?""How the hell did The Outsiders get into the castle?!" I demanded."The fire alarm sounded and there was smoke," he said, his heels clicking against the hard, tiled floor of the lobby. He was in the casino. "We were busy evacuating the guests ""While they came after my family?!""They must have come in the back way," Ferdinand said. "There was chaos ""Tell me about it later. We're going after Leila." I hung up the phone just as I reached the bottom of the stairwell, flung open the door, and looked around, spotting him walking toward me. The

    I pulled out my cell phone and quickly dialed Adeline's number, but there was no answer. I shook my head, realizing how close I had come to becoming human. Just a few minutes later and I wouldn't have been able to save my family. I just hoped that I wasn't too late. I quickly dialed Javier's number as I headed out the front door of Kalyssa's cottage."Lance?" he said, answering on the first ring. Chaos erupted in the background as my heart sank."What happened?""Oh, thank God it's you," he said. "Leila has been ""I know. Xander just told me," I replied. "Where is she?" I was already starting to run, not waiting for Amy, Xander, and Elias."I don't know, but someone had to have taken her." Sirens sounded loudly in the distance.Anger filled my body. "Tell me about it when I get there. I'm on my way."I clicked off my phone and ran at super speed across the desert, faster than a car could travel. My vampire seethed for vengeance, pushing me harder, faster, as memories of the y

    I woke in a cold sweat. Moonlight was streaming in through the window, piercing the darkness. Hunger rose within me; a hunger like I'd never known before. I needed blood and I needed it now. I rose from the bed and stalked toward the door.I could smell blood and it smelled luscious.My fangs extended immediately as I skulked down the hallway, closer to the delicious scent, closer to what I wanted, closer to what I craved. The scent grew stronger, more delicious, more tempting as I drew near and it was clearly, fully human. I placed my hands on the wall, beyond all reason, beyond sanity, as I inched closer to my target. I turned the corner, ready, as saliva rushed into my mouth in anticipation of the meal in which I was about to indulge. My heart pounded against my ribcage, as if it wanted this kill just as much as I. My vampire seethed within my chest, inching me closer, but when I turned the next corner it was Leila."My God, Lance! You scared me!" she said as she reached for t

    "Have you thought of becoming human for her?" I asked in a low voice.Kellen let out a deep breath and sat back down on the couch. "Yes, I have.""And?" I knew that I was prying, but he had been a vampire for a very long time, and becoming human again was a big step.Kellen bit his lower lip, thinking, and then looked directly into my eyes. "Yes. I would do it. If I could grow old with her, I would do it in a heartbeat," he said without hesitation. "That's why I get it, Lance, between you and Leila. I get why you're doing this. I would do the same thing, if I were in your shoes."I reached out and clasped his hand, giving him a man shake. "What does Crissy say about it?"He shrugged. "She wants to become a vampire for me."I nodded. "And how do you feel about that?"He shook his head. "Man, I love her with all of my heart, but I don't want that for her." He pushed up from the couch, walked across the room, and then turned around abruptly. "I want her to go to college. To have

    She smiled. "Well, after tomorrow, it won't be a problem.""Well, after tomorrow, you won't be able to find me.""Not until after the baby's born," Amy corrected. "After Leila's fully recovered, then you can go anywhere you wish.""Sounds good to me." For a moment, I wondered if we had another child and we were both human, would the child be human, too? But I brushed the thought aside. After this baby was born, we would have two children, which was more than I had ever hoped for."Well, I'm off," Elias said as he headed toward the door. "Amy, I hate to leave you alone with him in this state."She smiled. "I'll be fine. Go! Your patients await. I, on the other hand, am off from work for the next few weeks."Elias laughed. "Yeah, yeah! Don't rub it in.""You really need to take some time off, too, though."Elias laughed. "Well, with my staff taking time off ""Okay, don't you have to go?""Why? Trying to get rid of me already?""Yes!
