Chapter 22 My Unsuspected Mate"I just feel like something is always missing," Lacy confessed, her voice trembling. "I love Lucas with all my heart, and he's told me that I'm his mate. I'm so deeply in love with him," she sobbed, her body shaking with emotion."Can we talk?" she asked, looking up at me with pleading eyes."Of course, we can," I replied, smiling softly.But Lacy's expression turned serious. "No, I mean really talk," she emphasized, her voice barely above a whisper.I nodded, sensing that she was struggling to share something important. I waited patiently, letting her take the lead. "What is your sexual orientation? I mean I know you're a Siren but .."her voice trailed off but I think I know where she's going with this. "I am Pansexual Sapiophile." I didn't know if she even knew what this meant, so I started to explain when she stopped me. "I am glad to hear this, I was worried" as she climbed into my lap. My first instinct was to nurse her, I don't know why, but I ope
Chapter 23 The Hunt for SirensSam called a meeting, his expression grim as he revealed the intel he had gathered on the mysterious helicopters. "I've found an ad on the black web," he began, his voice low and serious. "They're offering a quarter of a million dollars for a live Siren specimen."I couldn't help but burst out laughing at the audacity of these individuals. Who did they think they were, trying to capture me or any of my kind?But Niklaus's reaction was far from amused. His face darkened with rage, his eyes blazing with a fierce protectiveness. "They dare to think they can capture My Queen?" he growled, his voice menacing, displaying full fangs.I placed a calming hand on his arm, trying to soothe his anger. "We won't let them, Niklaus. They can't get through our shields, they don't know who they are dealing with!"But Niklaus's expression remained unyielding, his jaw clenched in determination. "We need to take action, my Love. We can't let them continue to hunt for you."
Chapter 24 Daddy's HomeThree days passed, and our father remained in a coma, his vitals were stable and his physical wounds healed. David's timely intervention had saved him from the brink of death, but the emotional toll of his ordeal remained a mystery.Dr. Brooks' words were laced with a mix of empathy and concern. "We can heal their bodies, but we can't force them to want to live." The truth was, we had no idea how long he had endured the torture and experimentation.I asked, desperation creeping into my voice, "Can he hear us?"Dr. Brooks suggested, "Try mindlinking with him. Maybe he'll respond."I focused my thoughts, reaching out to him. Hi there, can you hear me? What's your name? The silence was deafening.I tried again, pouring my emotions into the connection. We rescued you, you're safe now. No one will hurt you here. His vitals flickered, and Dr. Brooks' eyes widened."I think he heard you!" she exclaimed, a glimmer of hope in her voice.I held my breath, waiting for any
Chapter 25 He's AwakeHis gaze was fixed on Lucas, a tear rolling down his cheek. "Lucas?" he whispered, his voice trembling.Lucas reached for his hand, nodding affirmatively, but our father pulled him into a long, emotional hug. We sat and talked for what seemed like hours, answering his countless questions.But then, he fell silent as Niklaus brought in our twins, Abigail and Oliver. I introduced them to him, "This is Grandpa-pa..." And then it hit me – we still didn't know his name!He held out his arms for the twins, a warm smile spreading across his face. "I'm Grandpa-pa Luke," he said, his eyes shining with joy."They're beautiful, Rea!" he exclaimed, his gaze taking in every detail of the twins.Just then, Bella walked in, concern etched on her face. "Mama, is it okay now?"I smiled, introducing her to our father. "Daddy, this is my oldest, Bella."His eyes never left hers, his face filled with wonder.

Chapter 26 My Dad The Royal GuardHis eyes sparkled with a knowing glint, and he whispered, "I've been waiting for you, Rea. I've been waiting for you to bring me home."I pulled back, stunned, as a million questions raced through my mind. What did he mean? How did he know? And what secrets had he been keeping all these years?"I'm finally home!" he exclaimed, tears flooding his face as I held him tight.When he finally calmed down enough to speak again, he began to explain, his voice laced with a mix of sadness and wonder. "I was her Royal Guard when she submerged Atlantis. We were still fighting the war, and its shields wouldn't let us back in. We searched for Atlantis for decades, but eventually gave up, thinking she had taken it back to our world."He paused, collecting his thoughts before continuing. "Then I met your mom, and she became pregnant with you. We already had Lucas, but then I was taken."His voice trailed off, and I knew he was thinking about the years he had lost. I
Chapter 27 Erzulie Red-Eyes had ForetoldThe next day, Lucas and I walked into our father's room and were greeted by a heartwarming sight. David and our father were deep in conversation, speaking in the Ancient language of Atlantis, their voices filled with laughter and warmth. They joked and chatted like old friends, their bond palpable.I smiled, feeling a sense of joy and wonder. It was as if our father had finally found a piece of his past, a connection to the life he once knew.

Chapter 28 The MoveDr. Brooks stopped by with an update: "I'm discharging your father from the Medical Center tomorrow. He's made tremendous progress."I had already prepared his quarters, adding personal touches like photos of Mom, us, and his grandbabies. David had plans for him to contribute to Atlantis as a Royal guard for me. Now, I would have three royal guards Brent, Lucas, and Dad.Just then, Sam walked in with his laptop, a sight that rarely heralded good news. "What's up?" I asked, a sense of trepidation creeping in."They're searching for him," Sam replied, his expression serious. They are coming now, no sooner than he said it, Neptune's alarm went off Several armed helicopters were 500 meters off our coast. "Shields up! and Camouflage Now!"

Chapter 29 The Hawaiian Luau The Hawaiian Luau was breathtaking! I watched with pride as my men stood by my side, their eyes gleaming with a hint of jealousy. The male fire dancers were mesmerizing, and the female dancers were equally captivating. I'm going to love it here. Inspired by Abigail, I've caught the dance bug too - Leilani has kindly offered to teach us all the traditional dances. I'm thrilled to learn from her!Naki's eyes sparkled with delight as she watched Brent join in on the drumming, This was his passion and joy. Seeing him drum again was heartwarming, as he was once more in his element, doing what he loved most - drumming with fellow natives, his spirit soaring with every beat.Niklaus pulled me close for a romantic kiss and whispered, "If you learn to dance like that, you'll never leave our bedroom - it would drive me insane with desire to mate with you." He added with a mischievous tone, "We might have to consider a foursome!" I couldn't tell if he was serious or
Chapter 120 Jenkins Elite Delacroix Investigators Six months later.. Admiral Jenkins left a message for Niklaus to call him back, his voice was laced with, urgency. Niklaus called him back, "What's up Admiral?""I can't do this anymore, I'm at my wit's end, Niklaus, they are not what they said they were, and are making things worse, they want to cut all funding for my research after they gained most of my technology. They don't care about the people, it's all about greed, and that's really disappointing," he said, frustration creeping into his voice."Does your offer still stand to fund my division?" he asked hopefully.Niklaus had been thinking about this for some time now he, Kieran, and Sam had been watching what they were doing and where the funding was going. "Instead of funding your division why don't we start our own? That way you don't have to report to anyone but me."Niklaus offered, and Admiral Jenkins's face lit up with a warm smile.

"She is different," Raphael said as he placed his hand on my belly, deep blue symbols started to appear they twinkled like stars in a midnight sky, and then I remembered my dress, Raphael watched in shock as he read what it said, it was in ancient Valtoria, his mother's homeworld. "What does it mean?" I asked my eyes wide with wonder. He whispered it's an ancient language one that is no longer used. He stared at my belly in awe."Raphael, what does it say?" I demanded. now I'm very worried."It says her name, 'Sapphira'." he wiped away tears of joy."Sapphira" I whispered, it was a beautiful name.Then more symbols were added "Tell me Raphael!""Sapphira Alora Delacroix" he whispered, crying."That is the most beautiful name I have ever heard!" I said with tears in my eyes."She has strong magic and she is
Chapter 118 My Siren ChildrenI woke up vomiting, my stomach churning with a sudden intensity. Niklaus's face appeared above me, his eyes etched with concern, as he quickly called in Dr. Brooks. But he already knew, his keen senses detecting the subtle changes within me. He minlinked Raphael, his voice urgent, "I need you here, now." Raphael's response was immediate, "I'm on my way," his tone laced with worry, wondering what was wrong. When he arrived, Dr. Brooks was still examining me, her face a mask of professional calm. Niklaus pulled him aside, his voice low, "I can smell the child inside her, she's pregnant again, with your child." Raphael's face transformed, his eyes lighting up with joy, as tears welled up in their corners, "Mine?" he asked, his voice trembling with emotion.

"The transformation looks good on you!" she exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with delight. But Wayne's expression was one of confusion, unsure of what was happening. Then, he saw his hands - they were no longer wrinkled and frail, but strong and youthful. His eyes widened in astonishment, and he couldn't believe what he was seeing. "Vampires usually age to around thirty, and then it really slows down - aging almost stops," she explained, her voice patient and gentle. She waited for the news to sink in, watching as the realization dawned on him. Wayne's face was a picture of wonder, his mind reeling with the implications of his newfound immortality."Also, you no longer have cancer," Dr. Brooks announced, her smile radiant with joy.

Dr. Brooks asked, her face beaming with a warm smile, as she entered the room. He grinned back at her, "I feel great!" he said with a smile, looking revitalized and hopeful. His freshly shaved face and crisp new clothes gave him a renewed sense of confidence. I was surprised to see Aurora walk in and gently take his hand, her eyes shining with kindness. "I'll stay with you the whole time," she whispered softly, her lips brushing against his forehead in a tender kiss. His eyes sparkled with joy, he looked like he was about to cry, his hands shook as he held on to hers, his gratitude and happiness evident in his demeanor.I watched her look at him with sparkles in her eyes and I knew! She had found her mate! I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason, and this is the reason he was placed in our path.Soon Niko and Niklaus walked in

Aethon was asked to bring us to the high council on many occasions, Eryn took great pride in teaching him as he grew, he had learned to walk when he was only six months old, and now he was running. His vocabulary was that of a five-year-old. He had a million questions. He visited the holo deck often for his studies. he wanted to see and feel what he learned. Sophia was shocked at how quickly he caught on.As Niko's abilities continued to impress, the high council's interest in him grew stronger.

Chapter 113 Memory LaneI ported to Kie tower, It had been a while since I'd been here his office was nothing like before. All of the painful memories are gone. There were pictures of us and Bella all over the walls and on his desk facing him was one of us in a sexual scene during our Mating dance. I smiled. " I look at that one often," he said coming up behind me, wrapping his loving arms around me. "I miss this!""I miss it too," I whispered, leaning back into his embrace. "I'm so glad we're here now, together again." I reached up and touched the picture, remembering the passion and love we shared that day.

He climbed into my lap all excited, and with wide eyes, he whispered all the things that he saw at the zoo.I smiled, feeling a warmth in my heart as I watched Niklaus leave the room. Oliver snuggled deeper into my embrace, his eyes still shining with excitement from our zoo adventure."Mommy? you have magic right?" he asked. I nodded."Can you do anything?" he asked his eyes full of hope. "Why what do you want?"Oliver's eyes sparkled with a mischievous glint as he asked, "Mommy, can you make me a baby again?"

I gently waved my hand, and a warm, golden light enveloped Oliver. He giggled as he felt himself shrinking, his clothes and hair changing, until he was once again my sweet, little bab
