As we sat down at the table, Leila had poured me a cup of coffee and had it setting on the table for me. Then, she placed homemade pancakes and a bottle of syrup on the table, and a Sippy cup with blood in it for Jase. She handed it to him and he started drinking it down immediately. A moment later, Leila joined us and we had our first family breakfast in our own home.

"That was delicious," I said, pushing myself back from the table. "And it looks as if someone else enjoyed it, too."

Jase had made a mess of his pancakes and was wearing most of them, but it was obvious that he had enjoyed it immensely. "Good!" he said, as if right on cue.

Leila laughed as she reached for him. "You go ahead and do what you have to do. Jase and I are going to clean up."

I stopped her. "No; Angela and your beauty squad will be here shortly." I took Jase out of his highchair. While we were away, Angela had taken it upon herself to stock our penthouse with everything that we would need for Jase.

    Everyone laughed as they waved their goodbyes at the door. "I'm so lucky to have such good people," I said as I closed the door.Leila laughed. "You mean, we are lucky." "I stand corrected." Suddenly, Jase started cooing from the bedroom. He rarely cried. "I'll get him, but I have something that I want to show you."I headed toward the bedroom to get Jase and heard Leila laugh from the kitchen. As I walked into the bedroom, standing in his crib was Jase. "Hey, little man. Want to see something special?"He cooed excitedly and clapped his hands as I lifted him from the crib. "And what, pray tell, is that?" Leila asked from behind me. I laughed as I dressed Jase. "You are worse than a child at Christmas, are you not?"She snuggled to my shoulder. "Hum I like it when you talk 'knight' to me."I laughed. "If I knew that, I would speak to you in that manner all the time.""Promises, promises," she returned. "Now, what is it?"I laughed, shaking my head. "Surprise! Surprise!"

    Leila nodded, understanding. "You still want to become human again, don't you?""Yes," I said. "Then, after I'm human, we can disappear and live a human life with our children."Leila smiled. "Well, semi-human," she said, thinking of the blood that Jase and Sirena would need to survive.I shrugged. "Amy is a dhampir and she lives a human life.""As much as she can," Leila corrected, remembering her involvement in the Werewolf-Vampire War. She was on our side, thank goodness. I cringed at the memory. Because of her, I was able to find Leila in time, and Amy had stayed with her until I could find her. I quickly pushed the thought aside. "When would you like to interview the nannies?""I thought we could do that this afternoon, but do not make any plans for tonight," I said, rubbing Jase's back absently. He had fallen asleep on my shoulder. "I have something special planned for tonight."Leila smiled mischievously. "Another vampire orgy?"I laughed at the memory. "No, but I do want

    When I walked back in, Leila was sitting on the couch, sipping her blood, and in dire need of a nap. "I phoned Amy while you were out," she said. "She can see me tomorrow." Then, she thought for a moment. "When are you going back to work?"I picked up my long-stemmed glass filled with blood, sat down beside her, and took a sip. "Not until you and Jase are settled." I slid my arm around her and looked into her eyes. "I want to make sure that you're safe first.""But what about your business at the hospital with Drake?" she asked as she took another sip of blood.I shrugged. "He can handle everything while I'm gone. He's keeping the deliveries coming here from the hospital. I'll go in soon to finalize what I need to when I can."Leila took a deep breath. "Lance, you don't have to do that.""Shush," I said, placing a finger gently on her lips. "We shall speak of it later. Why don't you lie down and rest before tonight.""But what about the candidates for Jase's nanny?""I can take

    I smiled. "Keep that up and we'll be eating in tonight."She raised an eyebrow seductively. "Sounds good."I rolled my eyes. "You, my wife, know all the right strings to pull with me, do you not?"She laughed. "Only when it counts."I smiled, shaking my head. "Whether you know it or not, you, my dear, have the power to make me or to destroy me. You know that, don't you?"She shook her head and placed a hand gently on the side of my face. "You have the same power over me, as well." Then, she looked deeply into my eyes. "But I would never hurt you.""Nor I, you," I replied, as my lips brushed across hers. She parted her lips, allowing me entrance, as our tongues danced and explored, until our breathing quickened. Then, I scooped her into my arms and looked into her eyes. "We have time for a quickie."She laughed. "Jase?""Is still sleeping," I replied, "but just to be safe " I carried her to the back salon where there was a chaise lounge in the corner of the room."You're incorr

    He quickly squirmed out of my arms and ran off to play, squealing with delight when he saw the toys. He walked right over to the horse and looked up at me. "Ride?""Of course," I said as I placed him atop the antique, wooden horse. "But be careful." He nodded. "I will.""Did he just answer you?" Leila asked as she entered the room, dressed in a baby doll beige dress, loose fitting at the waist, but short, showing off her splendid long, shapely legs. I nodded. "He said a full sentence, too." We talked a bit back and forth about Jase when she said, "Well, if you don't want to be late for dinner, then you need to get ready." She looked down at Jase and smiled, and then sat down on a nearby club chair. "I'm here. Go get ready."One corner of my mouth curled into a smile. "Getting bossy now, are we?"She laughed as she raised an eyebrow. "Well, we can always stay here, if you like."I shook my head. "No, we really need to go. In fact, I think you'll have a great time." She narr

    "Leila, you remember Xander Reed and Elias Samuelson, of course," I said, indicating the two gentlemen as everyone went on with their own conversations, while Aaron told jokes.Xander and Elias both nodded. "It's a pleasure to see you again," Xander said. "The pleasure is mine," Leila returned. Then, she turned to Elias. He had light brown hair and looked a lot like a younger version of his father. "It's a pleasure to see you again, Elias."He forced a tight smile and gave her a sharp nod. "The pleasure is mine." Xander shot him a warning look, and he quickly recovered. The blonde young lady between them appeared to be no more than twenty-five, and it looked as if she was there with them both. It was common for werewolves to share, but it was rare between Alphas. Xander gave her a warm smile and turned to me. "This is Kalyssa Carran. She's a new member of our Pack.""It's a pleasure," I said, not questioning the fact that she was still human. I assumed that they might have been

    As if on cue, Aaron Murdock told a joke and the table roared in laughter. Even though he was an old Vaudeville comedian, he didn't look a day over twenty-five. His career was short lived when his fans began to notice that he wasn't aging. We had to literally force him to "retire", faking his death and bringing him into hiding. It would be safe for him to go out into public now, so many years later, but I guessed that he was so used to being in the castle and he found no reason to leave. Around a crowd, he didn't know when to quit entertaining.I smiled to myself and handed Jase to Leila. He immediately laid his head on her shoulder, and I knew that we would have to leave soon. I wasn't sure how much more he could take. Then, I stood and tapped my fork against my glass. It pinged loudly, ringing throughout the dining hall, getting everyone's attention. A moment later, it was quiet and all eyes were on me. I raised my glass. "I'd like to thank you all for coming tonight. Leila and I a

    When I heard a growl behind me, I doubled my fists and turned, but stopped short: it was Xander in his werewolf form. His wolf was dark gray and huge, almost as tall as me when he was on all fours. He nodded and pounced on another Outsider as I took down two more at the same time, ripping out one's throat as I stomped on another's chest, crushing his heart. I heard a vicious vampire growl to the left and looked over as a female vampire karate chopped an Outsider in the throat, taking him down easily, and then did a flying sidekick at another vampire who was coming at her, then she reached down, grabbed both by the hair as she stomped on their throats, and ripped their heads from their bodies at the same time. She looked up at me, holding the flaming vampires' heads in her hands. Then, she dropped them and they rolled upon the ground near her feet. Within the matter of minutes, the Outsiders were a pile of ash. To my surprise it was Adeline.I suddenly had a new respect for her.Mo

    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!
