I nodded. "Thank you for coming. Kellen can show you out." "I would be happy to," Kellen said as he stepped up beside me and ushered them out."Well, Lance," Xander said, smiling as he slapped me on the back, "although I haven't known you long, every time I see you is always an adventure."I laughed, giving him a man handshake. "That it is, but I can tell you that I'm looking forward to sharing some quieter times, my friend."Xander laughed. "You and I both." "Well, we really must go," Elias interjected. "Please tell Dr. Ryan and your wife that I will be here in the morning to begin work."I nodded. "I will, but I'm afraid that it will be just you and Dr. Ryan, but if you need any assistance, I will be here, so just let me know.""Well, one thing I know, we'll need is a guinea pig; someone to test the serum on," Elias replied, and then asked, "Do you happen to know anyone who may be interested in helping us to test the cure?"I nodded, not telling them who. "There are plenty

When she saw how relaxed we all were, even Adeline joined in the fun. "I'll clean this up in the morning when I come," she said, laughing.I laughed. "No need. I'll have the cleaning crew take care of it in the morning," I said, taking Jase into my arms. "As long as you all are happy, we can always clean the house.""I'm glad to hear you say that," Leila said, and then threw another piece of popcorn at me as everyone laughed. Jase laughed, too, within my arms. "Mommy funny!""Oh, yeah?" I asked, tickling his belly as he laughed. Then, I leaned down and blew on his neck, making a loud noise as he squirmed within my arms."Well, I think that's our cue," Amy said, and then looked over at Adeline. "Shall we?"Adeline nodded as she got to her feet, laughing. "I'll be here in the morning," she said to me. I nodded. "Thanks, Adeline," I said, then added, "but no more popcorn fights for a while, okay?""Hey, you started it," Leila corrected.I laughed. "Actually, Amy started it, but

He picked up on the first ring. "Hey, Lance, what's up? Is everything all right with your wife?" he asked as concern filled his voice.I took a deep breath. "Actually, that's why I'm calling," I said, pausing for a moment, wondering how to ask, but thought that the direct approach was best. "Do you think that Kalyssa could come over and sit with Leila for a while? I'm going to be helping Elias and Amy today."There was silence at the other end, and then Xander came back on. "You're going to help them to create the cure for vampirism?"Lance nodded, even though Xander couldn't see me at the other end of the phone. "Yes."Xander took a worried breath. "You're not volunteering to be their test subject, are you?""Xander, please " I said, ignoring his comment."Lance, Elias said that if you take the cure and become human, then you can never go back," he said. "Just make sure that it's what you want first." "Listen, can Kalyssa come over to sit with Leila for a few hours today or no

She took a deep breath. "Then, let's do it," Amy said, picking up a syringe. "Lance, the way that the cure works is much like the Sunlight Serum. You'll need a series of shots. With each shot, the transition should take you closer to becoming human. Theoretically, it will take approximately three shots for the transformation to be complete. However, if you fail to take the last injection, then your body will revert back to its vampire state. But if you complete the third shot and everything goes well, then your body will complete the transformation and you will be completely human. Do you understand?"I nodded. "What happens if I take the last shot and I'm still not human?" I asked, intrigued. Amy thought for a moment. "Then, you may need another shot to help complete the process. But you must understand that these shots will work directly with your DNA. Therefore, there is a fine balance. If by some chance, we give you too much too soon, then your body will age quickly to your orig

Amy waited patiently, and then asked, "How are you feeling now?"I nodded. "Better," I said as I straightened. Then, I noticed something different about my body. "I'm starting to feel different somehow.""Here," Elias said. "Give me your hand."I did as he asked and he cut the palm of my hand with a knife. "Man! That hurt!" I said, unable to believe it. Normally, a cut on the hand would have tinged a bit, but would not have actually hurt."Look!" Elias said. "It's not healing!""You mean I'm becoming human?" I asked."You aren't fully human yet, but it definitely means that we're on the right track," Amy said. "We'll need to observe you to see how long these affects last."I nodded in agreement. "How long do you need me to stay?"Amy sighed. "At least until you're no longer in pain."Elias did something odd. He leaned over and inhaled deeply. "Dr. Ryan, his scent is changing, too."She nodded. "He's becoming human, although he isn't completely human yet." Amy then examined me

As I started toward the penthouse, I realized that this was the first time that I had clowned around with Amy. Since Jase was born, she had been letting her hair down a bit more, and I think that being around a baby had a lot to do with it. If I knew Amy, it probably wouldn't take much to get her to move into the castle permanently. I smiled to myself, making a mental note to ask Lorenzo later if he was available.Channing and Blake were standing outside the front door. "How is everything?" "Fine, sir," Channing said, and Blake gave me a nod of agreement as I passed. "Thanks, men," I said as I opened the front door. From the hallway, it seemed eerily quiet, but when I walked in, Leila was sitting in a chair with her feet curled up under her, laughing at something that Xander had just said. Kalyssa punched him lightly on the arm as he feigned injury, but we all knew better. It was funny that I hadn't heard them out in the hallway. Usually, my vampire hearing picked up the slight

I needed to feed her; I just hoped that my blood was enough. A slight twinge of guilt pulled at my chest, knowing that after I was fully human, I wouldn't be able to feed her my blood to heal her. I made a mental note to start filling blood bags with my blood to save for her. I would speak with Elias about it in the morning. Also, I needed to ask Kellen if he would feed her his blood in the event that I couldn't."If I told you, then it wouldn't be a surprise," I said, smiling as I opened the door. Two vampires wheeled in a cart covered with a white cloth and silver trays. The men entered the room and the smell of Italian herbs and spices filled the room, smelling heavenly. I thanked them, and a moment later, they headed out, but when I opened the door, Amy was standing on the other side. "What? Are you stalking us?"Amy smiled. "I was just about to knock."I laughed. "Get in here. You're just in time."She smiled as she entered the room. She looked over at Leila, who looked over a

"Well, everyone," I said, laying my napkin on the table beside my plate after dabbing my mouth. "I think it's that time of night." I looked around the table. "Thank you all for enjoying this moment with us. I know we will have many more to come, but I must get Leila into bed now."Amy burst out laughing, almost spitting out the mouthful of wine in her mouth. "Didn't I tell you to leave her alone?"Leila blushed as Adeline gave her sole attention to her glass of iced tea, embarrassed. I laughed. "I guess I put my foot in it, didn't I?"Amy laughed some more, thinking dirty thoughts. "I sincerely hope not.""All right," I said, rising from the table. "I think you've had enough wine." "Yeah, yeah! I guess it's time for me to go," she said, rising from her seat. "At least I don't have far to dive.""If you have to drive there, then I'd worry about you," I said, knowing that she only had to walk a few steps to her front door. Her apartment was right across the hallway on the other

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! How'd you guess?"We all laughed when ther
