"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,

    "Well, are we ready?" Dr. Ryan asked. "Yes, doctor," I said, then asked in a low voice, "Are these walls soundproof from vampires?"She nodded. "Why?""How much do you know about Lance?" I asked, feeling her out. "Leila, don't worry about Lance Steel," she said with a smile. "He's a vampire, but he's a good man."I nodded. "Did you know that he's the don of a vampire mafia?"Amy laughed. "I knew that he's the leader of a vampire coven, yes, but you make it sound like he's a hardened criminal.""Well, vampires are killers, aren't they?""Yes, but Lance doesn't strike me as someone who wants to kill, or else he wouldn't be meeting Drake to obtain so much blood for his coven." Dr. Ryan pulled up a rolling stool and sat down. "He's in here frequently to make 'donations' and Mr. Summerfield delivers the blood to his Casino." She thought for a moment then asked, "What brought all this on, anyway?""Lance told me in the car on the way over," I said, taking a deep breath. Relief wa

    I carefully wiped off my stomach with the tissues that Dr. Ryan had provided for me and dressed quickly, excited to begin our new life together, when I suddenly thought of Raven and the sunlight serum. How was I going to develop the serum before the baby was born? But I had no choice. Lance needed to be unlinked to Raven as quickly as possible. If she died while they were linked, then he would die, too, and vice versa. They couldn't stay linked indefinitely. I opened the door, and Lance and Dr. Ryan were waiting for me in her office. Lance wrapped his arm around my shoulder and pulled me in for a hug and then bent down and kissed me on the lips."Well, I'll give you two some privacy," Dr. Ryan said, headed toward the door when I stopped her."Amy, will you wait a moment, please?" I asked and she turned around expectantly. I looked up at Lance and whispered, "The sunlight serum.""We can wait until after you have the baby," he whispered, concerned. I shook my head. "No, it can't

    "So, what's this surprise that you have for me?" I asked as we stepped into the elevator. "That's for me to know," he said, pulling me into his arms. Then, he stopped the elevator."What are you doing?" I asked, not quite sure what to make of this. "How did you know that you could trust me?"I looked at him, confused."I mean, what changed?" Lance asked. Sensing my discomfort, he leaned back against the steel railing, giving me space. "In the limo ""I was in shock," I interrupted, stepping closer to wrap my arms around his waist. "Besides, Amy gave you a good recommendation."Lance laughed. "Oh, she did, did she?" he answered, wrapping his arms around me, then his lips crushed down onto mine as he ran his fingers through my hair. "I want to fuck you, right here, right now."I laughed. "I think the humans might need the elevator," I teased. Without another word, Lance lifted me into his arms and quickly unzipped his pants. "I'll make it quick," he said, moving my thin, silk

    "Why are we here?" I asked as Fredric got out of the car and opened my door. "It's a surprise," Lance said as his green eyes danced. Then, he leaned over and gave me a quick peck on the lips. "Come on."I laughed, shaking my head, then gave Fredric my hand to help me out of the car. I stood and stretched, looking out over the dam. The lights were already starting to come on, illuminating the dam, and the sun was setting behind it, creating the perfect backdrop as streaks of pink, purple, and red shot across the sky. It was truly breath taking.Lance was suddenly by my side, carrying a blanket and a picnic basket. Then, he held out his arm to me. "Shall we?""Lance, this is great," I replied. I took his arm and let him lead me to the edge of the dam. I sat on the edge as he spread out a blanket across the ground and pulled food containers out of the picnic basket, along with what looked like a bottle of wine. "I can't drink that, but you go ahead," I said, smiling as I sat down o

    The next morning, I woke early, wanting to get an early start on the sunlight serum with Amy, but I hadn't even touched my feet to the floor when my stomach started doing flip flops again. I needed blood. I ran to the bathroom with my hand over my mouth and barely made it to the toilet, unloading the contents of my stomach as cold sweats erupted all over my body. Still on my knees, I rocked back onto my feet, when big hands caught my back. Spots appeared before my eyes, preventing me from seeing clearly. I got to my feet and walked over to the sink, turned the water on cold, then splashed my face and rinsed out my mouth."Are you all right?" Lance whispered into my ear, concerned, as I bent over the sink. "Why don't you stay home today and lay down? You need to rest.""Home," I said, forcing a smile so as not to worry Lance. "I like the sound of that." "Up you go," Lance said as he scooped me into his arms without effort, and then deposited me onto the bed a moment later. Then, he

    After our shower, I tried to dress into my scrubs, but I couldn't get into them. In fact, I couldn't even pull the pants up past my upper thighs. I sighed, opting for a loose-fitting blue dress that came to just above my knees and showed off my legs. Then, I slipped into some low heels. At least I hadn't gained weight anywhere else other than my stomach, ass, and breasts, of course. I was beginning to think that I had two cantaloupes on my chest instead of breasts. I laughed to myself as I ran a brush through my hair and pulled the front up, but let the rest fall loosely into blonde waves over my shoulders. I wasn't going to work, after all, so I could look a little more casual. I stepped in front of the mirror, satisfied, but ran a hand over my stomach, unable to believe that it had actually grown bigger overnight.Lance let out a long whistle, looking at me, as he came into the room, dressed in a light gray suit and blue shirt, open at the neck. Obviously, he was planning on doing s

    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!
