"Why don't we go downstairs to dinner while Garrett and Patrick clean up?" Lance said, indicating the crimson pool of blood on the floor where Clarence's body had been. "I'm sorry about Clarence," I said, rubbing his arm. Lance had calmed down considerably. We still didn't know who was after the baby or me, but at least we were a bit closer. We knew that I was pregnant and that someone was after the baby. A shiver went through my body at the thought.Lance took a deep breath. "He was loyal," Lance said, lost in thought. "He definitely had to be compelled. I trusted Clarence with my life." He took a deep breath, shaking his head. "He deserved better than this."I nodded, not quite sure what to say. After all, what was there to say to someone who has lost a friend? Then, a thought occurred to me. "Lance, does this mean that you can go out into the sunlight now?""Yes, while Raven and I are linked." He walked over to the window and pulled back the window shade. Immediately, bright su

"May I take your order?" a pretty blonde woman asked Lance, holding a pad and pencil, waiting. Great. Another admirer. Obviously, the hostess had told her about him. I guessed that I would have to get used to it. Anyone as gorgeous as Lance would definitely attract attention. "I'll have the Seafood Alfredo and a Coke," Lance said, handing her his menu, and then turned his attention back to me."I'll have the Penne Pasta with Chicken and a Coke Zero," I said, reaching across the table to hold his hand. "I'll get that for you right away," she said, dejected, as she walked away."Lance, you can order a drink, you know," I said, smiling. "I won't mind."He gently squeezed my hand. "Not while you're pregnant, love," he said. I smiled as I returned the squeeze. It was nice that he didn't want me to feel uncomfortable.Lance's expression suddenly turned serious. "Who else besides Dr. Ryan knows about the baby?" Lance asked, taking a sip of his water. "The only other person who kn

An hour later, we were in his Learjet on our way back to Las Vegas. I had fallen asleep on the plane and woke when Lance shook my shoulder. "Leila, we're here," he cooed. I opened my eyes, lying against his shoulder. He stroked a lock of hair away from my eyes. "Wake up, Sleeping Beauty," he said, smiling. "We're here."I looked out the window of his Learjet and it was pitch black outside. "What time is it?" I asked groggily, feeling like I could sleep for the rest of my life. Lance smiled, amused by my expression. "It's three o'clock in the morning," he said, making sure that I was fully awake before he moved. The plane was on the ground and at a complete stop. I didn't even remember landing. "Let's get you to the castle and then you can go back to sleep.""Okay," I said. Then, I felt something move in my stomach and I instinctively lifted my hand to hold it. My stomach was definitely bigger and was hard, more so than with a normal pregnancy."Are you okay?" Lance asked, noticing

He placed a finger gently under my chin and lifted my eyes to his. "What do you think?" Then, his lips crushed down onto mine, moving with all of the pent up passion that he was feeling. When he pulled back, I was breathless when he looked into my eyes. "I love you, Leila, more than you'll ever know, and I want you to be my wife."I nodded as I wiped the tears from my cheeks and looked down at my stomach again. "I love you, too," I said to both Lance and the baby. "What do you think the baby will be like?" I asked, looking into Lance's eyes.He smiled as he placed his hand gently on my stomach, and then his eyes met mine. "Special."I nodded in agreement. Yes, above anything else, this baby was special.Out of the blue, there was a knock on the door and I looked at Lance, concerned. "Don't worry. You're safe here," he said, then got up and walked across the room to the door. When he opened it, Charlotte was standing in the doorway. "Come in," Lance said, opening the door wide.

"Lance, I'm telling you, she tried to compel me," I said, sitting up on the edge of the bed, holding my stomach. "Are you sure that she wasn't just asking you to go dress shopping with her?" Lance asked, helping me to settle into the bed."Well, at first she said that we needed to go dress shopping, but I told her that I wanted Angela to make my dress and then she said that we were going dress shopping today and told me to get up and get dressed," I said. "She didn't ask. She told me and her eyes flared.""Are you sure they flared?" Lance asked, sitting down on the bed beside me. "You don't believe me," I said, rolling onto my side as tears slid slowly down my cheeks. "Hey," Lance said, forcing me to look at him. "Of course I believe you." He wiped a tear away from my cheek. "It's just that Charlotte and I have been friends for a very long time and I want to have all of the facts before I start accusing her of anything.""Lance, we have to get out of here," I said, trying to

"Great, in your arms," I teased, stirring sweetener packets into my coffee. Now that I had some blood in my system, my stomach had settled down a bit and the coffee smelled heavenly. Lance smiled, taking another drink of his coffee. "How are you feeling?""Fine, I think." I placed a hand on my stomach. It felt tight and a little bigger, but fine. "My appointment with Dr. Ryan is today, so I'll see what's going on." I took another sip of my coffee, and then added, "I'm also going to talk to her about the sunlight serum. I'll need to use her lab."Lance shook his head. "I don't want you to go back to work until after the baby is born. You're not going to feel up to it."I took a deep breath. "I know, but I really need to develop that serum," I said, placing a hand gently on his arm. "You need to be unlinked with Raven as soon as possible."He nodded. "Then, I'll make you a lab here right down the hallway so you can lay down when you need to." He took another sip of his coffee, conc

A moment later, Lance came out of the shower, looking delicious with only a towel wrapped around his waist. Within minutes, he emerged from the bedroom dressed in an impeccable gray Armani suit with a crisp white shirt, open at the neck. He looked spectacular. "Ready?" "You're going with me?" I asked, taking another sip of my cold coffee. "Yes, if that's okay," he replied, crossing the room to me. "I'd like to hear what Ambrosia has to say."I nodded, putting on my lipstick. "Of course." I closed the tube and slipped it into my purse. "Shall we?"Lance held out his arm for me just as a knock sounded on the door. "Just in time," Lance said, and then stopped. "Oh, I almost forgot." He reached into his pocket and pulled out a ring. "Another ring?" I asked, and then noticed that it held a Bloodstone. "One of the spelled Bloodstones?"Lance nodded. "Yes," he said as he slipped it on the ring finger of my right hand and my engagement ring was on my left hand. I wondered for a moment

"Leila?" Lance asked, suddenly panicked. He leaned me back into the crook of his arm. Then, he bit his wrist and held it to my lips. "Here, drink this. It'll make you feel better."I nodded, drinking his blood, wondering what I had gotten myself involved in. Lance, the man that I loved, as a mafia don. And he wasn't just a don-as if that wouldn't be bad enough-he was in charge of a whole coven. Slowly, the blood started working and my vision began to return. "Leila, say something," Lance said. "Look, I didn't want to have to tell you this, but now you must know. Because I'm the head of a coven, you are at risk.""And you didn't think it was important to tell me before now?" I shouted, unable to believe what I was hearing. "Well, now, this just opens up a whole new can of worms! Anyone could have killed Steven for any reason!""Leila, please," Lance said calmly, just as we pulled up to the front of the hospital. "I love you ""I don't think you know the meaning of the word." Then,

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
