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.

    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

    Without caring who was in the room, I bit my wrist and held it out to her lips. "Here."Without hesitating, she took it and drank it down.Kalyssa rose from the couch and crossed the room to both Xander and Elias, wrapping her arms around them both. "Oh, thank God you're both alive."They both kissed her, first Xander, and then Elias.Rosa and Henry took it all in, but said nothing."Ladies and gentlemen," I began, addressing the room. "I'm holding a meeting tomorrow evening. I would appreciate it if you would attend." I didn't want to discuss the attack in front of Leila or the humans. Rosa's lips were pursed as she glared at me, and Henry took it all in. Then, I looked at Kellen. "Call and make sure that everyone attends."He nodded, knowing that I meant the heads of all of the covens."We shall be there," Annette said, and then turned to Zaria. "Come. We must go." Then, she turned to me. "Thank you so very much for your hospitality before we were so rudely interrupted. I am s

    As soon as Rosa and Henry left the room, Leila popped three blood bags into the microwave. I turned to her and said, "I have to shower and change for the press conference. Where's Jase?""In his crib," she said, shoving a straw into the side of the bag, not bothering with a glass.I nodded. "Are you okay?"She took a strong pull through the straw and said, "Don't worry about me or Jase. Just do what you have to do. We'll be fine." I looked down at her right hand and was glad to see that she was still wearing her Bloodstone ring. She hadn't taken it off since I gave it to her.I pulled her in for a quick kiss, and then headed toward the shower while unbuttoning my shirt. A few minutes later, I walked into the living room, showered and changed into another black Armani suit. I needed to look the part when I faced the press."My, you look nice," Leila said as she handed me a blood bag. "Here. You need to power up." I took it and quickly drank it down. She was right: I did need that

    Light shone brightly through the windows the next morning, alerting me to the start of a new day. Suddenly, the events of the night before came rushing into my mind. Leila was already up and Jase was out of his crib. He must have woken up and she didn't wake me. When I walked into the kitchenette, Leila was sitting at the table, feeding Jase, who was sitting in a highchair. "Good morning, beautiful," I said, and then kissed her lightly on the top of her head as I passed."Morning," she replied with a smile. Her color looked good this morning, which was a relief. I could literally judge how she was feeling by the color of her skin. "Sit down and I'll pour you a cup of coffee.""Don't get up; I'll get it," I said, but she was already up and pouring the coffee."Sit," she said, pushing gently against my chest. A moment later, she placed a cup of coffee and a glass of blood next to my plate. "I made pancakes for breakfast. Want some?"I looked over and smiled. Jase was wearing more

    She nodded in agreement, but said nothing as she listened attentively."The attackers last night were after my son," I said. "So, if you take this position, you will not only be his nanny, you will also be his protector." I looked directly into her eyes. "To be honest with you, I had my doubts about hiring you at first, but after witnessing how you handled yourself last night in the fight against The Outsiders, I became convinced." Then, I leaned closer. "And what I'm about to say I will say only once. In offering you this position, I am trusting you with my son's life. If anything happens to him while he is under your care, I will hold you personally responsible. Understood?" She nodded. "So, are you still interested in the position? I will pay you handsomely. Kellen here can tell you that I am good to those who are loyal to me."Kellen nodded in agreement, listening, with his muscled arms propped casually on his knees. He was always so laid back. Nothing ever really affected him. B

    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!
